Though Iris was used to Cane taking her hand or dropping his hand around her waist whenever they walked together, right now, there were a hundred pairs of eyes on them! They didn't even hide their surprise to see this show of affection from the Alpha toward his luna.
Iris was a little bit uncomfortable with the way they stared at them, but when she glanced at Cane, her mate was unfazed. He didn't seem bothered by it in the slightest, as he led her toward the carriage. He helped her get inside and Jace went with them, as the Beta sat down on the coachmen seat, leaving Oliver and Sir Elijah as the people in charge for the distribution of food.
Jace looked like someone who just swallowed a bear's heart, as he was dying of curiosity at this turn of events. It was out of character for Cane to show such deep affection.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Cane handed Iris a loaf of warm bread and a waterskin that contained warm milk.
