541 WISH

Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain,

living a life with nothing to gain,

, rounded by darkness, overwhelmed withshame.

A life without peace with no one to blame.

Do you know of a place unseen, A place that holds only shattered dreams, A place filled with sorrow with no end in sight, I am given this gift each and every night. Do you know of a place so cold, This is the place I call my soul, A place without hope or comforting dreams, A life not worth living wouldn't it seem.

*** Do You Know. By: Michelle Boyd.***

Cane sat Iris down on the edge of the bed and reached out to her back, as he untied the strings behind her dress. He had done it a few times and now, he could say he already got a hang of it, thus there was no need to rip her dress anymore. Iris would complain every time he did that, especially to the dress she liked.

"Cane? What are you doing?!" Iris was takenab ack when suddenly she was exposed, she held on her front dress to cover her chest.

It was so different to be naked in front of him when they were in the throes of passion than when she was sober enough to feel self conscious.

"You have saved one of my warriors' life, let metakes care of you, Iris," Cane said. He bent his body and kissed the tip of her nose. He was a little bit upset to see how pale she was, but he kept his emotions in check. It was only his overly protective instinct that didn't allow her to be in this state. 1

Thankfully, the alpha was still rationale enough not to scold her for not taking care of herself. Iris's intention was so genuine, but the aftermath of it that Cane didn't like.

"You are sweating," Cane said gently. He pulledthe dress lightly, but Iris still didn't let go.

"I- I can do it myself... I can call Aliana or Hannato help..." Iris felt like she was going to melt under Cane's intense gaze.

"You have me here, why do you need them?"Cane bent his body and knelt before her. He traced his fingers on her exposed shoulder, which made Iris's skin hummed in delight. "Don't be stubborn, take it off," Cane coaxed her and watched how his woman turned so red. "I have seen everything, what are you embarrassed of?""Yes…but, it's because... it was necessary for usto take off our clothes... when you know... doing that."

"Doing what?" 1

Iris pursed her lips when she heard Cane tried to play a fool by asking that question. There was no way he didn't know what she meant and when she lifted her head to look at him, she could see the amusement behind his eyes. 1

"Cane!"

But, her protest was swallowed when Cane kissed her lips and pulled her up by holding her on her waist and cradled her face to deepen the kiss. 1

Iris was breathless and moan when Cane squeezed her bottom lightly and pressed himself against her. She felt a little bit lightheaded when he sucked on her tongue and his hand left her face to knead her breast.

She could feel how she became excited despite her exhaustion, but when she wondered whether she could take it further in her condition, Cane stepped back and their magical moment was cut short and before long, she found herself was only on her undergarments, while her dress pooled around her ankles.

"I am going to get your dress," Cane said with asatisfied smirk on the corner of his lips. Heactually smirked when he saw the disappointment in Iris's eyes and then it turned into mortified look the moment she realized what he was up to.

"Cane!" Iris used her hair to cover her nakednessand then went to the bed in rush to cover herself with blanket, while Cane stared at her bottom when she turned around and her short legs, even from behind he could tell how annoyed she was.

Cane approached her and put his arms beside her body, trapped her. "Don't be so disappointed. You are in your period and tired, it will be too overwhelmed for you."

"I am not!" Iris looked mortified, knowing Canecould tell how arouse she was. Ugh.

As if Cane could tell what was in her mind, he kissed her cheek and whispered to her ear. "Don't worry, Grace's concoction worked. No one can tell that you are arouse."

"But, you can!" Iris looked like she was going tocry out of embarrassment when she pointed that fact.

"Of course," Cane said lightly and nibbled on herearlobe, which made Iris pushed him away. 1

"No!" She covered her ears and pulled the blanketover her head, as Cane chuckled and showed some mercy on her. He moved away to get her dress.

Grace had given her concoction that she neededto drink three times only, which could suppress the smell of her arousal, but somehow, Cane still managed to sense it. It was faint, but the scent was still there.

Not long after, before Cane could dress his mate, Grace already arrived and the alpha let her in, because he didn't want to delay the check up on Iris.

"Are you feeling cold, luna?" Grace asked whenshe approached Iris, who was still wrapping her body with the blanket.

Iris's eyes widened when she saw Grace. She knew the healer came, but she thought, Cane would let her dress properly first before he let her in.

"No, I am fine," Iris said in small voice, as shethrew Cane a look when he saw him behind Grace, holding a clean dress.

"Let me check on you. Please, give me yourhand," Grace said, though she was a little bit ba ffle about why the luna was covering her whole body with the blanket in the middle of day.

Iris slid her left hand from the blanket, while the healer sat down next to her. The latter was clueless about the situation, since she didn't see the alpha behind her, holding the dress with his arms crossed in front of his chest, as he leaned his tall body against the bed pole."Luna, how can you do that to Joel? How can youheal him?" Grace asked with curiosity, as she held her hand and checked on the luna. There was not much she could do, since her healing power didn't really work on her.

"I purified the trace of black magic..." Iris recalledand then told Grace what she had done.

On the other hand, Grace listened attentively,she knew a few things that Iris actually could do some magic and aside her ability to detect the magic stone and black magic, she could do a few things with her unheard power.

From what Grace heard, Iris was able to see thespirit of people, who had died, but this information had not yet confirmed and she didn't dare to ask about it bluntly to her.

"I wonder how can you get such great power,luna and only recently you figured out about it,"Grace said.

"How is she?" Cane asked.

It was very subtle, but Grace immediately knewthat she had asked too much and the answer of her question was something that she didn't need to know.

The healer immediately knew her position andcleared her throat to tell Cane that Iris was fine, she was only exhausted.

"I will make a concoction and she will be fine."

"It will be alright for her for the long journey

11:13tomorrow?"

Tomorrow they were leaving for the Silver River pack and Cane didn't want to have Iris got sick on their way.

"If she rested well, she will be fine tomorrow."Grace's eyes fell on something that the alpha was holding and then she blushed when she put two and two together. "Alpha, please refrain yourself, the luna is in dire need to rest. You can't exhaust her.”

"Okay," Cane replied without any emotions, whileIris felt like she wanted to cry. Grace knew about their intimate life more than she wanted her to.

"Don't... bother her too, alpha," Grace added. Shefelt like she needed to help the luna by warning the alpha not to touch her for a while, since she knew how it would end if they really did the deed and with Iris's current state, she wouldn't be able to take it.

"Okay." Cane nodded flatly.

And after that, Grace left to make a concoction for Iris.

Once it was only the two of them, Cane approached Iris with her dress."Come. Take off the blanket."

Knowing Cane wouldn't budge with his decision to take care of her, Iris put away the blanket and now she became a little bit docile when her mate helped her to dress.But, once Cane was done, he bent his knees and knelt down before her. This was not the first time he did this, but it was still unsettling for Iris to see him in this gesture.

It was unheard of for an alpha to bend down in front of someone else, unless that person was the king, not even to their mate, since in this chaotic world the only different from a destined mate and the mistress was the favor of the alpha, which meant, someone with status like Cane shouldn't have done this gest ure so casually, even to his own mate.

"Iris, I want you to grant my wish." 4
