Nala came with Lou for this sudden meeting, while the merchant was grumbling all the way here, because he didn't want to meet with Cane, but this was his chance to see Iris, therefore, even though he had to drag his legs, he needed to come anyway.
Nala hated it.
Why all the men around her had to be infatuated with Iris? She was only a runt, who was gifted with a healing power, that was all!
Cane was being affectionate with Iris, he cradled her in his palm like a precious thing, while Lou chased after her relentlessly, even though he knew he could die in the alpha's hand if he crossed the line, while Kian was one of Iris's personal warriors, no matter how hard she tried and how close they became, he couldn't find in him to tell her anything about his luna.
Nala hated it.
