"Feeling better?" Cane asked, cradling Iris in his arms. She was no longer crying, but her body was still trembling.
It was not his intention to traumatize her like this, but Cane didn't intend to shield her from the cruelty around her either. It would be good if she was a little bit aware of it, since she got used to seeing the world from her innocent perspective. It was not a good thing to be naïve and innocent in the world they lived in. He wanted her to see everything with open eyes.
However, he knew it would be too much for her to witness what happened in the underground, that was why he told her to stay behind even after he took her there.
Cane should have known her curiosity, oftentimes, would get the better of her. After all, she figured out about the lycan and his infertility all thanks to it, getting herself into unthinkable troubles.
