Priston's POV: I stayed there pulling Iris into my arms, looking at her, and waiting for Eric. I am scared. My brain is filled with negative thoughts and each thought is leading to losing Iris. I don't want to lose her, I don't want anything to happen to her, and with each such thought, my grip on Iris is getting strong. As if I let her get away from my arms, she may disappear into thin air. Percy is happy and angry at the same time. I blocked him away. This silence is deafening. Iris, please open your eyes. Why is Eric not here yet? I heard some rustling noise from the outside and maybe it was Eric. "Alpha" Eric's mind linked me. "Eric, I am inside the cabin" I replied. Eric walked into the cabin with the shorts in his hand. He bowed to me and was surprised to see Iris in my arms.
