章節 228: A MISTRESS

Iris didn't know what happened yesterday night at the dinner that she didn't attend, but what the King said threw her off guard.

King Aeon talked in a way that insinuated the young woman named Nala had pleased Cane and they had a good time. She was not that naïve to not know what he was trying to imply.

Her heart skipped a beat when she imagined what might have happened between them.

Iris was well aware that she shouldn't develop such feelings, since this was what other women felt whenever their man took mistresses. It was a tradition, so the bloodline wouldn't die, since they said blood was thicker than water, but to its irony, siblings would kill each other for highest power.

More so, their mate bond was not something that happened because both of them wanted it. Neither of them consented to it. It happened because Iris was at the wrong time and wrong place that night.
