The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON

Iris was staring into the distance, she became more anxious because it was only three hours before it would be midnight, which meant they needed to find a secluded spot for him to shift into his lycan form without anyone noticing.

Even then, Iris was not sure if she could keep the lycan calm enough to not make any noises that would attract attention from the others until sunrise.

She wanted to talk about this with Cane, ask him what he was going to do about this situation, but he didn’t show up for the entire morning and noon.

A little while later, Iris caught movement from the door and saw Cane walk into the room. He was wearing a gray shirt and a pair of black pants. It was not formal attire, but since it was simply a welcoming party that Alpha Gallot was throwing for him and Alan, especially when they were not prepared for this, it was justified.

But at the same time, Iris got a sense that he didn’t even want to put much effort into finding a nice shirt for himself.

"Let’s go," he said when Iris raised her head to look at him.

Cane was about to turn around, but Iris quickened her steps before he could walk out of the room and tugged at his sleeve gently. "I want to talk with you for a moment."

Cane tilted his head and looked at her expectant blue eyes. She looked beautiful in that dress, though it was a little bit bigger for her petite body, because she needed to keep pulling up the front of the dress, so it wouldn’t expose her chest and the length of it fell past her feet, she still looked pretty in everything that she wore.

"What do you want to say?" Cane closed the door and faced her, he gave her his undivided attention.

"Alpha, tonight..."

"I know, I have prepared everything, I just need you to stay with me."

The sound of him saying that he needed her to stay with him sounded pleasant in her ears, but Iris knew he said that because he needed her, not because he wanted her.

"What have you planned?" Iris wanted to know, aside from curbing the urge to feed her curiosity, she felt like she was walking in the dark. It would have been fine if this was not something so significant like the new moon, she could brush it off, but she felt anxious for not knowing anything.

Cane, like always, rarely explained things to others if he thought it was not necessary. "Let’s go."

But, Iris grew bolder, as she held his arm again to stop him. "Alpha, I don’t know if I can do anything for you." She sucked in her lips. "How can you be sure that I can keep your beast calm?" She muttered listlessly.

"You can," Cane said simply.

On the other hand, Cane didn’t show any reaction. He let her finish her report. Iris looked like a little child, who was tattling about others.

In the end, Iris narrowed her eyes. "He is not a good person."

Cane didn’t know what to say when he heard her conclusion. Probably, it was only her, who thought Alpha Gallot was a good person in the first place. Her little face was so serious when she warned him over something that was so obvious.

"Why didn’t you agree with him?" Cane asked. He just wanted to hear what her answer would be.

Iris blinked her eyes upon hearing that question. "You are my mate, I will never betray you."

This was the same answer that she gave Alpha Gallot, which he laughed at her for, but she was serious with that simple and naïve answer.

People like Alpha Gallot wouldn’t understand that and would brush it off, since that kind of answer was laughable.

Cane said nothing and just realized that Iris was quite a chatterbox. "Let’s go." He caressed her cheek casually and then took her hand, so she wouldn’t hold him back again.
