Iris was sleeping when she felt someone hug her from behind, which shocked her, since their strong arms wrapped around her waist tightly and drew her closer to them.
It was a man's arms!
Startled, Iris was about to scream when she turned her head and caught sight of Cane's sleeping face. He had his face buried in her nape and breathed evenly.
"Al- alpha…?" Iris' eyes widened, as her face wore an anxious expression. Was he sleeping? Why was he hugging her tightly like this?
All of a sudden, Iris felt her face become so hot as her throat dried. She wetted her lips and waited for Cane to move away from her, but he didn't.
"A- are you really sleeping?" Iris' voice was so low, it sounded like a whisper and her skin became very sensitive when his warm breath caressed her neck. His strong heart was thumping against her back, because of how close they were.
