THEY WERE LATE

"Where? What place?" Iris didn't mind going and visiting the pack tomb again. She had expected Cane to go to that place again, but it was a pleasant surprise for Iris that Cane wanted to take her with him. And, he wanted to take her somewhere else after that?

"We will go after we entertain the King and Lady Cyan, probably it will be very late tonight, is that okay with you?" Cane caressed her cheek and smoothened her curls. Her skin and hair felt so soft and he liked the feeling. 

"Absolutely," Iris replied, too eager and then cleared her throat to mumble. "Sure." She wouldn't fall asleep tonight, no matter how tired she was. The excitement that Cane would take her somewhere would keep her awake. 

"Now we need to go hunting in the mountains." As much as he didn't want to get Iris involved, he couldn't disobey the King's demand outrightly, though behind that demand, it was Lady Cyan, who was pulling the strings.
