The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: SHE COULD LISTEN TO HIM FOR HOURS

Iris was dumbfounded to read what Cane said. She was utterly speechless. Was he being cunning with her too?

"You kissed me!" Iris insisted with her reason, but she couldn’t elaborate further, as her face turned bright red. Probably, it was because of the harsh sun...

"I have done that several times now."

"Are you being... ingenious with me now?" Iris asked sullenly, since she didn’t know how to call him out on tricking her with a kiss without sounding weird.

"You need to learn how to compose yourself." Cane brushed her bangs and caressed her rosy cheek. "You are always so easy to read."

People around them watched this interaction and how gentle the Alpha from the Howling Wolf pack was with his mate. In their minds, someone, who was capable of executing the five alphas and treating their bodies so cruelly after that, wouldn’t have a single gentle bone in their body, nor would they be able to find in themselves to be kind.

Yet, what they were witnessing right now was something that was completely different from what they imagined...

While they were receiving all the things that they needed, such as food and clean clothes, the Alpha and the Luna were being affectionate with each other. The Alpha treated her so respectfully and he did it naturally. It was unheard of for a man of his status to treat their woman so well, especially when the woman had not yet conceived their child after such a long time.

Not to mention the dark story behind the two of them...

"Don’t you think he is being overly affectionate with that woman?" Alpha Dristan asked Koda, as the two of them stood out of anyone’s earshot.

"Hm. it’s not normal," Koda replied, his eyes glued to Cane, who was smiling at his mate. She looked sullen. They didn’t know what they were talking about, but from their standing point, it looked like the Alpha was being playful with his luna. "Knowing him, he must be up to something."

The two of them agreed that the Alpha from the Howling Wolf pack was too cunning. They couldn’t lower their guard, or else, it would be them who became the sacrifice in whatever plan he had in his mind. Alpha Dristan didn’t completely trust Cane, so didn’t Koda.

After all, there was no such a thing as complete trust between the alphas of two different packs. It would be so naïve of you, if you thought such a thing existed.

A person’s heart could change and there was no such thing as loyalty that would last forever in this realm, there were only benefits and self interests, and greater than that was a pack’s chance to profit.

All of them knew that and even those poor five alphas understood it to a certain level. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Meanwhile, Cane could see how Iris was starting to grasp what he was saying, thus he didn’t bother her when she was deep in her own thoughts and took her hand to continue walking.

"Have you never been afraid before?"

"Of course, I have been." Cane stared at her.

"How can you pretend that you are not?"

"My father told me this; weakness is a guise, wear it when you need to use it for your own benefit, but never when you feel it." Cane chuckled lightly, but there was no humor in it. "At the end of the day, all of this is about profit."

Iris didn’t realize this before, but right now, she felt like she would never get tired of talking with Cane, as if she could talk to him all day and they wouldn’t run out of topics, or she could listen to him for hours without being tired.

And then, she remembered something. "I saw it." Her expression darkened.

"Hm? What did you see?" Cane asked.
