586 THE BIRTH OF THE DARK SOUL (3)

Not only he got new and clean clothes, but he got a training from a real warrior too. Zale felt his throat tightened and his eyes stung, because no one had ever done something nice to him. 1

"I want you to report everything to me," Irissaid to Zephyr, among the other five warriors, he was the one, who had less criticized her and she paid close attention to that. Probably, she could be closer with him like she did with Dyne and Eron.

"Yes, luna. I will do as your instruction."Zephyrr nodded.

Cane was not wrong when he was thinking his mate found another use of the warriors he assigned for her, after all the eight of them answered to Iris now...

"Thank you," Iris said with a gentle smile onher face. She then handed the clothes to Zale, who rubbed his palm on his rug like clothes, but because what he was wearing

was also not clean, it only made his hands even dirtier.

"I-I will wash my hands first luna!I will beright back!" Zale rushed away to wash his hands. ①

However, Zephyr took the clothes from Iris's hand. "I will do it, luna." He took the initiative to take care of Zale, since he could read the situation better. Iris not only entrusted the young boy to him to be trained, but explicitly, she wanted him to keep his eyes on him.

And Zephyr was not wrong, because that was what Iris wanted.

"Thank you, Zephyr," she said.

"You don't need to thank me," Zephyr saidshortly and then walked away with the clothes in his hands. He would make sure that boy to take a bath. He smelled like mud. Iris might not be able to smell him, but those shifters were a little bit distracted with the odor.

Behind Iris, Dyne whispered to Eron."Does Zephyr try to get the luna's good side?"

"It seems like that," Eron replied with afrown.

However, before they could continue with their complain, Aliana nudged their elbows and when they turned around, they saw the alpha was approaching them. From the look of it, Cane was not in a good mood, so out of instinct, they took steps aside to let him go straight to his mate. 1

Once Cane was close enough with Iris, he didn't hesitant to put his hand on her hips and turned her body around to face him, while she was squeaking out of surprised.

"Cane!" Iris thought there was someonetouched her so intimate like this and was ready to scream, but upon seeing him, she breathed in relief. From the corner of her eyes, she watched the warriors and Aliana had withdrawn, they tried their best to make their presence unnoticed, which soon Iris learned the reason why. "Wh-what happened?"

Iris became a little bit self conscious when she was stared so intensely by him.

"I thought, I told you to rest, but why Ifound you here?" Cane tilted his head, waiting for her answer.

Ah!That's why, those warriors and Aliana immediately backed away, they must have sensed how annoyed their alpha was right now.

"I am going to rest now," Iris said cheerfully,giving him her sweetest smile, hoping it would do some magic to make Cane less annoyed with her. "I promised to see Zale once we are here, right? It didn't take long, I only gave him clean clothes, because the one he was wearing looked very uncomfortable." She knew that because she had worn one when she was sent to the mines.

Cane didn't look happy, he leaned over and whispered something to her ear, which made her face blushed. 1

"It seems, you have enough strength toroam around, why don't we do something more with that?" Cane licked her earlobe in the end of his words, sending shiver down her spine and made her legs grew so weak.

But then, Cane let her go, which almost made her fall to the ground, but the bad alpha wrapped his arms around her waist again and walked with her to their bedroom.

Iris was so flustered, the tip of her ears turned so red, as she kept up with his pace. She glanced at him timidly, but his expression was still the same.

How could he talk something like that without a slightest change in his expression?

Not like the impending misery and adversity that the birth of the dark soul would bring to this realm, the birth of Decratic happened in a beautiful and warm afternoon in the middle of the summer, where the day was so bright and lively.

No one would even think something ominous would happen in the near future with the birth of this creature.

"I am not a babysitter!" Alan growled atDexter when he saw his uncle entered his room. He had not yet changed his clothes,

so there was still blood on his cloak and his face when he came to check on him and the baby. "What do you mean I have to take care of the baby?!I have a kingdom to be taken care of! I am the king!"

No matter how many times he said he was the king and no matter how hard he tried to emphasize the words, his title fell into deaf ears against Zeke, Dexter and Cyan. They couldn't care less about that.

"I. AM. THE KING!" Alan roared, which wokeup the baby in his arms, but this little creature didn't even make a sound, as he started to glare at him unhappily. His red skin looked so weird and Alan felt disgusted to touch it. He had this urge to throw him to the ground or to the fireplace, so it could be burned into ashes. 1

"SHUT UP!" Dexter snarled back at him,which made Alan flinched and backed down.

This was unfair!

When his father was the king, no one dared to even raise their voice against him, but now a head royal sorcerer could even shut

him up!

Shouldn't they bow to him and look at him with fear!? He was the sovereign of this continent!

But, Alan didn't dare to voice out his grievances and could only grit his teeth.

"You are going to feed the baby with yourblood." Dexter dropped the news on him all of sudden. It was not even a request, he only stated the fact.

"What?! No!" Alan screamed, he literallythrew the baby to the ground now, which made Dexter freaked out. 2

Even so, the baby didn't make a noise and only kept his scary eyes fixed on Alan, as its small body laid down helplessly on the floor before Dexter picked him up.

"Are you out of your mind!?" Dexter barked."Idiot! You useless piece of shit!" He tried tocheck any injury on the baby, but thankfully, there was none, the swaddle was tight enough to red eem the impact.

"I am not going to feed that creature withmy blood!" Alan was adamant. He was not

going to hurt himself for that little monster.

However, he should have known by now that he couldn't say 'no' to any of them, because it went without saying, their method could be very brutal.

Dexter stared at Alan and the new king felt this dreadful feeling again, when he started to move his body against his will and walked toward the table, where he grabbed a dagger.

"No! NO!NO!YOU CAN'T D O THIS TO ME!"Alan freaked out when he approached Dexter and the baby with the dagger and once he was close enough, he started to make a deep incision on his palm. Fresh blood oozed out."ARRGHH!"

"Again?" Cane asked lazily to his mate, wholooked like she was going to sleep in any second.

"No..." Iris whimpered, she buried her faceagainst Cane's arm, as her mate hovered above her, kissing every inch of her face. "No more..."

Their body tangled together, sweat glistened their skin, while out there the sun was already set and the sky had turned so dark with the moon hid behind the gloomy cloud.

"You are going to kill me..." Iris complained,she flinched when Cane pulled out slowly from her and she could feel something warm leaking from there. She was so exhausted, Cane was being so mean with her.

Hearing that, Cane chuckled. He kissed her earlobe, which made her squirmed, but she didn't have the energy to push him away.

"Stop it..." Iris protested meekly.

"Don't sleep, you need to eat first," Canesaid, as he stopped torturing her earlobe and nibbled on her chin now,

"I am sleepy, I don't want to eat..." Irissnuggled closer to his arm, she was hungry, but her sleepiness needed her attention more than her stomach.

"No," Cane said, as he pulled away from hismate and stood up.

Iris opened her heavy eyelids, unhappy because Cane was going away from her. He put on his cloak to cover his nakedness, as he walked toward the door to ask someone to bring their dinner.

"Don't sleep," Cane said as he walked backtoward the bed and cradled Iris again in his arms. "The child in the orphanage wrote for you." 1

Iris opened her eyes now and pouted. "You just told me now?"

"We were busy earlier," Cane repliednonchalantly and Iris couldn't find a word to retort that. Since when this alpha became so shameless?! "Here." Cane fished out the letter from the cloak he was wearing, as he covered Iris's naked body with the blanket.
