It happened so fast and Iris couldn't follow what happened in that split second, because the next thing that she saw was Cane's fingers wrapping around the man's neck, threatening to snap his head off, while pushing her behind his back.
Cane said nothing, but his eyes were so cold. They were filled with murderous intention for that man's impertinent move.
"If I want to kill her, I will do it myself. I don't need your help." His voice was colder than the night's wind. Coupled with his unapproachable tone, it made the man unable to speak.
"Y- Yes alpha," The man answered with so much difficulty. Cane humbled him down as easily as that and this astonished the other people.
The last time they saw him was when he was just fifteen years old, a young boy, who followed his father around to greet the other alphas and barely understood the duty of the title, but right now, he looked completely different from the one in their memory.
