I was reading another book where almost a same situation like this was happening and the ML is a monster for now, and that reminded me of these particular chapters of this book. I have read this chapter long time ago, so I needed to revisit the chapters to confirm that Cane wasn't a monster. He didn't brought Iris here willingly, he was helpless. But he didn't let them go too far(?). He saved her in his own way.
