The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: THERE IS MORE ABOUT IT

The lycan could smell his scent from far away, but he was too busy staring at the woman before his eyes, touching her soft skin to make sure she was real, basking himself in her presence and her sweet scent, though she looked so confused. He missed her confused expression as well.

Only when Haco opened his mouth and spoke, did he finally pay him some attention. "Long time no see, old friend." Cane smirked, the corner of his lips tugged upward viciously.

"What do you mean old friend, we are not friends," Haco said, as he approached them with the Beta and the Gamma right behind him. They were not sure what was going on, but from the way Iris reacted, it was something crucial.

"Are you sure?" Cane asked, he grinned in amusement to see the realization finally dawn upon the sorcerer.

Ethan and Jace glanced at each other, because Cane didn’t used to be so expressive. He was smiling and grinning now.

"No way... no, there is no way this is happening..." Haco staggered back, as if he was afraid to come closer to Cane, until he fell on his butt.

"What is it?" Jace demanded. Ethan came to find him when he looked for Haco, at the same time, he managed to take care of the situation in the pack, so it wouldn’t escalate further, while Kaz and the others had been sent to the dungeon per Cane’s instructions.

There wouldn’t be anyone who would disrespect Iris anymore, right? They would think thrice before they did so.

However, the problem with Sofia had not been solved, he was not sure whether he had to move her from the Luna’s bedroom or not, because Cane didn’t have any instructions relating to her, he only said to leave the matter, as if it was not his concern where that woman slept.

"No way... no way..." Haco shook his head, but he couldn’t peel his eyes away from Cane.

"What do you mean? You are irking me now." Ethan crouched down and followed Haco’s line of sight, aside from Cane’s strange behavior and his red eyes, he didn’t find anything that could leave this sorcerer as shook as this. He was literally so pale, as if he was seeing a ghost. "Mind to explain why you are being like this?"

Meanwhile, Cane stood up and stalked toward the sorcerer.

"It has been a while and you look so old," Cane said, amusement dripping from his words and Haco was still in denial.

On the other hand, Iris knew that she was right. She had done something to make the lycan come to the surface and now it was him, who occupied Cane’s consciousness.

"Damn it! How can you do this?!" Haco cussed under his breath. "What have you done to the Alpha?!"

Ethan and Jace frowned so hard, they felt like they had missed a lot of things when the conversation between Cane and Haco barely started.

It was Cane who knew about the bigger picture of his whole scheme, but now he was... gone? Was that even the right word to say about his condition?

"Haco, do something, is this a temporary thing or what?" Jace was frustrated beyond words.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer stared at Iris, who had been very silent ever since she told them what happened, but he had this inkling that Iris didn’t tell them the whole truth.

She only said Cane suddenly dropped to the ground and the lycan appeared in his stead. No, it was not something possible to happen without any prior action that caused it.

"Can both of you leave? I need to think about this matter, I can’t think if you keep pestering me about a solution which I don’t have now," Haco grumbled, he chased the two of them out. "Both of you have a lot of things to do, right? Go now and take care of your assignments." He shooed them away. "Keep demanding me now will not help with anything. Go away."

Ethan and Jace grumbled and argued a little more before they finally left the room. The Beta made a nice gesture to pat Iris on her shoulder, as if telling her to not mind what happened before. Iris didn’t respond to that.

"So? Will you tell me what actually happened?" Haco asked Iris once Ethan and Jace had left the room. "There is more to it, right?"

"Yes. There is more."
