The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392: A GENTLE KISS IN THE MORNING

Iris felt her whole body as feather as a light, as if she was floating. At the same time, she felt so warm and she immediately found out the cause behind it when she tilted her head to the side.

There was this huge lycan by her side, laying down comfortably with its muzzle resting on her shoulder. The lycan was awake and their eyes clashed with each other’s, until the creature shifted back into its human form.

Outside, the sky became a little bit lighter and the sun appeared on the horizon, but the silence continued to dwell inside the room, as the two people stared at each other without a word.

’How are you feeling?’ Cane mouthed the question, knowing Iris would read it anyway.

Iris didn’t immediately answer his question, she stared at him sleepily, still reeling from her deep slumber. "I had a dream," she said finally in a low voice and then shifted her body to face Cane. The Alpha wrapped his arms around her waist instinctively, their bodies moved in sync, as if knowing what the other person needed.

"What dream?" Cane mindlessly drew circles on her waist with the tips of his finger.

Probably, it was her habit of telling Cane about everything. She had nothing to hide and she didn’t want to hide anything from him.

"I was in a huge hall, the place was so beautiful, but it was empty. There I saw these five swords when I climbed this tall podium in front of me. I walked closer and had this urge to touch the swords. An urge and curiosity... somehow, my legs guided me there without me realizing it."

Cane’s eyes dimmed slightly, but his voice was soft and light when he asked. "What do these swords look like?"

"I don’t know, there was light coming from the swords and also... a woman."

"A woman?"

Iris furrowed her brows. "I saw her from afar... from across the hall."

"Since when have you been having this dream?" Cane traced her back, running his fingers along her backbone and shoulder blades.

"I am not sure... but, I think it started after you marked me..." Iris was sure before she met Cane, she had never had this kind of dream.

And then silence befell upon the two of them, as they fell deep in their own thoughts. The sun rose and the light spilled into the room through the opened windows.

"Why did you touch the stone?" Cane asked. He stared at Iris intensely. He was sure Iris saw what Haco said at that time, the sorcerer explained how dangerous the stone was, as it was suffused with dangerous black magic.

Iris averted her eyes from him, something she would do when she was reluctant to answer Cane’s question, but she was literally trapped in his arms and had nowhere to hide.

What happened? Iris thought she did something wrong, but then Cane kissed the tip of her nose and got off the bed. The Alpha opened the door and Iris peeked through her messy hair to see Jace and Ethan were there.

The Gamma waved his hand at her, but Iris immediately hid under the blanket, while Cane slammed the door close behind him.

"What is it?"

"She is awake? Should I call Grace and Hanna?" Ethan asked, he looked cheerful to see Iris was finally awake. Jace was kind of freaking out to see Cane refusing to step out of the room and taking care of Iris by himself. Well, that was not news for the Gamma...

"You go and find them," Cane said to Jace instead.

Confused, Jace went away to get the order done, though he felt a little bit off with this, since the Alpha could order a warrior to do such a thing.

"What is it?" Cane asked Ethan rigidly, asking what he was going to report to him about.

"The King decided to come to the south." Ethan looked a little bit conflicted. "I think the King had heard about Sofia and now he wants to make sure the woman is indeed pregnant with your baby." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

"Who is coming with him?" Cane couldn’t care less about the King’s motives.
