Cane couldn't answer Iris's question right away, he was silent for a while and this made Iris imagined a lot of scenarios in her mind and each of it, made her heart felt uneasy.
"You don't need to answer if you don't want." Iris pushed the plate that filled with snack and then stood up. She didn't want to see her expression on the mirror, because her face looked like she was going to cry. "Let's go, don't let the Serafim wait for us."
However, Cane grabbed her wrist before she could leave. He stared at his mate and when he spoke his tone was very serious. "I don't like her in that way, Iris. But, what I feel about her is more like guilty."
It didn't sound right for Iris, she turned her head and looked at her mate, she could see how complicated Cane's feeling was. "She betrayed you, she killed three orphan children when she used black magic to harm you, she stabbed you and you are the one, who feels guilty?"
