章 401: I WANT YOU TO STAY

Iris was surprised by his gesture, but she didn't deny how happy she was to be this close to him. She could smell his scent, as if it engulfed her senses and stared at his side profile, while he continued reading seriously. The scar on his face didn't look as scary as the first time she saw him.

Probably, the scar on his face and also how cold and collected he was had a major say in making people think twice before they tried to approach him. But in reality, it worked to Cane's benefit as well, as he didn't want anyone to approach him recklessly.

In the end, drunk by the sight of her mate, Iris fell asleep and Cane could tell the moment she slipped deeper into her slumber as her breathing became even. He then used his right hand to hold her head in place, so she wouldn't fall when the carriage shook because of the rough road.
