Iris was holding the lizard in her hands, while waiting for Cane to return. She perched on the windowsill, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Meanwhile, Hanna was lost for words, as she once again reminded her missy that the Alpha would probably return late because he was participating in a serious discussion about the tunnel with the merchant and the Alpha from the Red Claw pack.
Yet, Iris didn't listen to her, because she wanted to let Cane know something as soon as possible. This was something important too.
And when she saw Cane walking in the hallway, she immediately went out of her bedroom. She approached him, which surprised him. He frowned.
"What happened?" Cane's mind went to the worst possible thing that could happen while he was away, because that was how he saw the situation. It was almost like an instinct to him.
