Because the carriage had been destroyed, Iris needed to ride a horse, but the problem was; they were short one and she couldn’t ride a horse at all.

“I don’t know how…” Iris said apologetically, once again, she felt like she was a burden and couldn’t help with anything. Cane shouldn’t have brought her along and he would be able to go back and forth before the new moon, since he would move faster without her.

“In that case, you need to ride with someone,” Will stated, that was the only solution for them. Even if they bought a horse, she wouldn’t be able to ride one all of sudden.

“Yeah, I think I have to do that…” Iris first thought was Redmond. She wouldn’t dare to ask Cane to ride with him. “I will ask Redmond.”

Will then glanced through his shoulder and sighed to see Redmond and Ethan were still bickering. “I think I need to go to stop them before they killed each other,” he grumbled as he stood up.

Meanwhile, Iris rearranged the rations into two bags, so they wouldn’t have problem to carry them, thankfully, the troll was not a poisonous type of monster, thus they wouldn’t need to be worried if the rations made a contact.

Iris tried to help with whatever she could, since she didn’t want to burden them with her presence.

Someone tapped her shoulder and when she turned around it was Cane. He looked at her. “Are you hurt?” his dark eyes swept her body briefly to see external injuries.

“No.” Iris shook her head. It was nice of him to ask for her well beings after the attack.

“The stone is still with you?”

Iris felt it inside her pocket. “Yes.”

“Hm.”

And after that he left.

So, it was not that he was worried about her, but he only didn’t want the stone lost during the battle. With that, Iris continued to rearrange the rations inside the bags.

After everything was well and the carcasses of the troll had been taken care of, they were ready to continue their journey. It was only two days before they arrived in the Dew Moon pack.

“How come you cannot ride a horse?” Redmond asked with a frown. “I saw you lingered around the stable when you were a child.”

That must be the time when she befriended the stable boy. Though she read what he said, Iris pretended like she didn’t hear anything and climbed the horse with his help. She was sitting behind him, holding his waist and tried to make a distance between them, despite the small space.

“This won’t do,” Redmond said irritatedly. “You will fall if you hold onto me like that.”

Grumbling, Redmond took both of Iris’s arms and wrapped it around his waist, he pulled her until her face bumped onto his back.

“What?” Iris was trying to put space between them, because this was not comfortable

to be so close with him.

Annoyed, Redmond turned around and looked at her. “You will fall if you hold me like that.”

“No, I- I will be fine.”

Redmond rolled his eyes. “If you are really uncomfortable to be so close to me, why don’t you ride with your mate over there, then?” Redmond nodded at Cane, who was on the head of this small party.

Iris said nothing, she wrapped her arms around his waist, but she didn’t rest her head against his back.

“Whatever.” Redmond let her did what she wanted. After all, she wouldn’t die if she fell

from the horse.

Not long after that, after they confirmed they were good to go, the small party moved

to the south.

Iris, who was trying to keep a distance between the two of them, ended up hugging him so close, literally buried her face against his back because the horse moved so fast. Her surroundings were blur, as if those trees ran with them. She needed to hide her fast. behind his back, while the wind messed with her hair.

But, the worse part was; it didn’t take her long before she felt her butt was on fire. It was very uncomfortable to ride a horse! She moved around, trying to find a comfortable position, but she couldn’t, no matter what, she felt her butt stung, but she had to endure it, since there was no way she would ask them to stop and wait for her to get better.

In the end, she buried her face against Redmond’s back, holding back her tears. It was so painful…

They finally stopped when the sun was set and found a cave to spend the night. The ground was dry and since it had been raining these past few days, this place was perfect for them.

“Can you get down?” Redmond asked, as he tilted his head to check on her, but she was still burying her face against his back, thus he tapped her leg to get her attention.

Iris lifted her head to look at him. “Are we taking rest?” she asked in small voice, she was in so much pain, she couldn’t even keep her body straight.

“Yes, can you get down?”

“Oh, yes, I can…” Iris was too happy to get down and touch the ground again, but because she was too hasty and overestimated her endurance, she stumbled straight to the ground when she tried to get off from the horse. “Argh!”

Her legs didn’t want to cooperate with her, she even couldn’t feel her legs at this point and braced herself for the impact, while Redmond was alarmed and tried to reach her, but it was too late, his position made it hard for him to reach her in time.

Iris covered her face out of instinct, as she waited for the impact, but instead of the hard ground, she felt someone caught her, as she bumped onto a sturdy chest.

The arms that wrapped around her body were strong and he steadied her.

Cane stared at her when she was struggling to stand on her own feet.
