540: A RAW MOMENT AND NEW LIGHT

A RAW MOMENT AND NEW LIGHT

Cane had been looking for Iris, but he couldn't find her in the pack house, it seemed she didn't return to the pack house after her visit to the dungeon. 

It bothered him because of the death of Mason. Not like he cared for that piece of crap, but the fact that Iris was there and he met his timely death that raised a question in his head. 

However, he couldn't find his mate anywhere, thinking Iris might be in the orphanage to visit Hanna and Haco again, Cane immediately went there. 

But, on his way out to the orphanage, the alpha met with Grace and Kian, only then he knew Iris was in the warrior quarter to meet with Joel. 

Grace herself just returned from the dungeon to check on Mason's body. His death had not yet known, thus Cane would talk with the healer in private. 

"There is no way Joel can feel his legs…" Grace muttered under her breath when she heard Kian's explanation about the reason why she was being called. It was not she was pessimistic about his recovery, but she was sure there was nothing that could be done to make the poor young warrior to be able to walk again. 

If there was still hope, Grace would be the first one, who would jump to the opportunity to heal him, since it was so devastated to see how life left Joel's eyes. 

"I am sure, I am sure, Zephyr clawed his calf and he was screaming in pain!" Kian told Grace enthusiastically. "Do you think there is hope for him to be able to walk again?"

Grace didn't answer that question immediately. "I need to check on him first before I can say anything."

The three of them hastened their pace. 

Cane listened to what Kian said and said nothing. He knew Iris just discovered her power, so did he, though the lycan still reluctant to give up the control, unless they were in dangerous situation, where Iris was being harmed. 

Because right now, every time, Cane was about to practice, he could feel how the lycan gave him a hard time. 

Soon after, they arrived in Joel's bedroom and the other warriors left, leaving Eron was still inside to explain the situation. 

"Cane!" Iris immediately stood up and hugged her mate, she had been crying because she was very nervous whether she had done the right thing or she made things worst, somehow, she couldn't stop thinking the worst thing that possibly could happen to Joel. 

Iris buried her face against his chest and she felt a little bit better in his arms. Everything would be alright. And her mind slightly calmed down when Cane kissed her head, while caressing her back. 

Meanwhile, Grace checked on Joel's legs and Eron gave the rundown about what had transpired and how Iris produced the lights, Joel also helped with the detail, as he looked so nervous, waiting for what Grace would say. 

However, as if they had a deal before this, there was this tacit understanding between them, where they left and forgot the detail about how their luna touched Joel's legs. The other six warriors, who poked their heads at the door to see the situation inside also didn't say anything about that fact, as if this was something they had agreed upon beforehand.

It was not good to tell such thing to their alpha, especially after they witnessed how the alpha could be so obsessed with his mate. More so, they didn't want to get punishment again for letting something like that to happen. 

"You look so pale." Cane frowned when he saw Iris's face, he wiped her tears and still held her. He listened to what Eron said and was aware of the importance of this moment for Joel, but he had never failed to pay more attention to his mate. 

"I am fine…" Iris sniffled, she turned her head and stared at Joel and Grace, while Cane fixed his eyes on her. 

The alpha didn't say anything, but it didn't mean he would let it slide later. He caressed her cheek and felt how cold her skin was, this didn't make her happy at all. 

"So, how is it?" Joel asked Grace carefully, he held his breath, his heart was beating on his throat, waiting for what he was going to say. It was so nerve wrecking and he felt so overwhelmed with a lot of emotions. 

Grace frowned and then casted her own light, it was a healing power, she faced her palms against Joel's legs without touching them. "Try to move your legs," Grace instructed and all of them didn't dare to breath, as their focus was on Joel. 

The young warrior gritted his teeth and tried his best to move his legs. His brows creased deeply and his body was trembling, yet there was nothing. 

However, Joel didn't give up, he tried even harder and… there was a twitch on his toe. He couldn't move his legs, neither he could immediately use them, but the fact there was a response made all of the warriors there raised an uproar, as they roared in happiness. 

As the fellow warrior, they couldn't imagine what Joel had to go through if he couldn't walk again. It was their pride to keep the pack safe, but instead of fighting for the pack safety, they would be a burden for people around them, that kind of reality was too harsh, especially to such a young man like Joel. 

"I think…" Grace lamented and all the warrior stopped roaring, everything became very silence, as they waited for what the healer would say. "I think there is hope… somehow, your legs respond to my healing power. I think you will be fine…"

Once again, there was an uproar from the six warriors outside of the bedroom, which gathered attention from the other warriors around, as they came to ask about what was going on. In the heat of the moment, they gladly told them about this good news and soon enough the words spread around about how Joel could walk again. 

Inside the bedroom, Joel cried and Eron hugged him. He had been crying so much today, but he couldn't care less about being teased later on. He didn't know what to say and right now, he was only a fifteen years old young boy, who just escaped the clutch of death. 

Suddenly, his life was not so bleak anymore, in truth, everything looked so beautiful, even the dust that swirled in the ray of light looked so pretty. 

"Luna Iris, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for saving me…" Joel said between his tears, as he tried to get down from his bed.  1

Iris sobbed softly against Cane's chest, while her mate tried to soothe her by holding her so tight. Iris felt so happy, she felt like she had accomplished something so big. She felt useful and for the first time she felt so proud of herself. 

The feeling was so overwhelming and she couldn't think what to say or how to react, aside from crying in his mate's arms. She was very happy, she couldn't describe it into words. 

"What are you doing?" Eron asked, he held Joel back, because he would fall from his bed. 

"I want to kiss luna Iris's feet. I don't know how to thank her enough…" Joel said with determination in his shaking voice. 

All of them could understand why Joel would do that, if they were in his shoes, they would also do the same thing without thinking twice, especially when the feeling was so raw in this emotional moment. 

However, Iris was actually mortified to think someone else would kiss her feet. 

"No, no, no. Don't do that, I don't want that!" Iris shook her head vigorously. "I am so happy for you, Joel and you deserve it. It will be a loss for this pack if it lost a warrior like you."

Iris's voice was so small, but they could hear that. They could hear the genuine feeling that their luna had for this young warrior, for this pack. How selfless she was and how sincere she was to help people around her. 

How they could miss this side of her? How they could so blind to think she was the same like her father even in the slightest. She was nothing like her father and Hanna had screamed the fact to their ears. Probably, it was them, who were deaf. 

Grace even lowered her head in ashamed as she remembered how she hated Iris in the beginning of their encounter. 

"But, I want…" Joel still insisted to show his gratitude. 

But, Cane bent his body and carried Iris in his arms, as he spoke lightly. "Take rest, Joel, and recover quickly, that's how you will show how grateful you are for this chance."

After saying that, Cane walked out of the bedroom, but he instructed Grace to come to his bedroom once she was done with Joel. 

Cane left with Iris, who buried her face on the crook of his neck, it seemed, the exhaustion finally caught up to her after she used such power. 

Wordlessly, Cane carried Iris to the pack house and sat her down on the edge of the bed, she was no longer crying, but her eyes were swollen and her cheeks were so red. She looked so adorable even when she cried, but then her eyes widened when she saw what Cane was doing. 

"Cane?! What are you doing?!"
