On the other hand, Iris happened to go out of her bedroom just when they were fucking each other, while Aria was being so loud and made it clear what the alpha was doing to her.
However, Iris couldn’t hear that, but she was sure that she was being loud. Her cheeks heated, she turned her head and stared at Amee, who was in the room along with her.
She was mortified to witness such activity and how brutal the alpha was when he drew pleasure from his woman, but Amee didn’t seem bothered by that. She had gone through so much, heard too many noises and had seen enough.
When you were a slave under Gerald’s mercy, this kind of noise was an everyday occurrence. At the very least, both of them consented to this, while in the slavery, they would wonder, whether their friends or family members would survive the sexual abuse that they were put through.
However, Iris wasn’t used to that and it baffled her how ignorant Amee was to hear all that with a straight face. She didn’t even flinch or feel awkward.
“Come here,” Amee said and Iris saw her waving her hand for her to come over and she snapped out of her daze, as she went straight to her. “I will apply the ointment on your wound and rebandage it again, after that, you can take a rest here until the alpha tells you otherwise.”
Iris nodded, though she missed half of what she was saying, as her mind was so distracted by the image of the alpha and his mistress. He took her roughly, almost brutally. If it was her…
Iris shuddered at the thought. Did he do that to her that night?
She was sure that he was holding back at that time, because the intensity was so different when he took her, though it didn’t make it less painful for her, since it was her first time.
“After I finish this, you need to take your medicine and get as much rest as you can.” Amee applied the ointment and then brewed her some herbal tea.
Taking a big gulp of her tea, which tasted so spicy, Iris felt better as sleepiness came over her.
Iris didn’t know when Amee took her leave, but when she woke up again, it was already dark. Night had fallen and she was alone in this dark room.
She pushed herself to sit down and held her head. The headache was not as bad as before, but she was aware of her predicament. She remembered clearly what she had seen that night and was sure that was something forbidden for her to know. Now, she feared for her life.
Slowly, Iris got out of her bed and made her way out of this room, but she needed to go through the alpha’s bedroom first before she could get out to the hallway.
Iris thought, since it was late at night, the alpha would have gone to sleep and she could sneak out of this room without him noticing it.
But, she was so wrong about it, because there he was, sitting behind his table, holding a few documents in his hand, while his eyes were fixed on her. Probably he heard the creaking sound from the door and this attracted his attention.
Iris lowered her head, she was not sure whether she must return back to the room or something, but then, from the corner of her eyes, she saw movement. The alpha called her over and she didn’t have any other choice, but to go to him.
Slowly, she strode across the room and approached Cane.
“Al… Master,” Iris said in a low voice. She almost slipped and called him alpha when he made sure he was not the alpha for her.
Cane stared at the auburn haired girl for a moment and this silence was so terrifying for Iris.
After that, he stood up and walked toward her, his hand stretched out and he pulled the bandage wrapped around her neck open. His eyes darkened when he saw her slender neck, where his mark on her skin was glaring back at him.
Cane heard the creaking sound of the door and saw Iris staring at him with a complicated expression on her pale face. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, not knowing what to do.
For a moment, Cane just stared at her with a stoic expression. He still had not yet decided what he was going to do with her now that the situation became even more complicated than he intended it to be.
This gave him another headache to kill his brain cells over.
“Come here.” Cane narrowed his eyes when he saw she didn’t move an inch and then remembered that she couldn’t hear him. He waved his hand to beckon her over.
Iris saw the movement from the corner of her eyes and walked toward him slowly. She was mortified when the alpha raised his hand and wrapped his fingers around her neck, as his eyes darkened to see his mark on her skin.
At this moment, Iris still did not realize about the mark on her. She thought she was bitten by the monster and the fact that she might be marked didn’t even cross her mind.
However, Cane saw it and he was not happy at all to see his mark on her. His enemy’s daughter. Gerald’s laugh kept ringing in his head, sounding like he was mocking him all over again for marking his daughter. He would roll over in his grave, laughing over how stupid he was.
“Ma- master…” Iris held his hand when his fingers tightened around her neck. He was trying to choke her and the realization made her panic, especially when she could see the hostility in his dark eyes.
With his strength, he would be able to crush her neck easily.
Iris gasped for air, but her airway was blocked and she started to claw at his hand, leaving marks there, but it healed within a second. He didn’t feel any pain from it. Not even in the slightest.
And when Iris’s face turned red and the pain became more unbearable, as she thought she would die from strangulation, Cane finally let her go.
Her legs became so weak, as she dropped to the floor, coughing fervently.
Her neck was in pain and her ears kept ringing. She gulped the air greedily to fill her empty lungs, but then she coughed even harder. Her whole body was trembling in fear.
Iris wanted to move away from him, yet she couldn’t bring herself to do so when she didn’t have strength to stand up or even carry herself away.
She flinched and whimpered when Cane hunkered down in front of her. His eyes were still emotionless, watching her in pain. He waited until Iris stopped coughing. It took a long time for her to be able to breathe normally.
Cane pinched her chin to tilt her head up, so she could see his face and read his lips, for he had a question to ask. “What were you doing in that hut?”
That was not an unpredictable question, since Iris knew that he would ask about it sooner or later, but she doubted that he would accept her answer.
“I- I heard a howl.”
Cane narrowed his eyes. “You can’t hear.”
Iris knew he wouldn’t believe that, because she didn’t believe it either. It had been years since the last time she heard anything, aside from her own voice in her mind.
“But, I heard it.” She insisted. She didn’t know what kind of lie that she could offer. So, it would be better if she told him the truth, since Cane looked like someone who would be able to sniff a lie from miles away. “I heard a howl and followed the sound of it.”
“Why?”
Iris could understand why it was hard to believe her explanation, if she were in his shoes, she wouldn’t believe herself either. Why would she follow the sound of that howl? Normally, the first instinct that came to your mind was to run away from such an unknown howl.
