The word that Iris said about how Cane still thought of him like a father hit him hard. He saw Cane as his best friend's son and for him to look up to him like that sent a mixed feeling in his mind.
"I did it because of that. I don't need anything else." Iris grabbed Cane's hand. "Your son will be fine and if you kept insisting to side with Kellan, that's on you. With this, my mate can sincerely fight you."
Iris could see how this revelation shocked alpha Derick, for them not to demand anything from him. Cane was right about the reaction that alpha Derick would have with the way they responded after saving Cezi's life.
"With this, you owed us, but we don't owe you anything, so when the time came and you were still unable to see the truth, there is no regret."
