The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551: IS IT NOT DIRTY?

Cane woke up to find Iris was not by his side. He must have been very tired, until he fell asleep too deep and did not realize when his mate slipped out of his arms and got down from the carriage.

But then, his heart gave a start when he heard the commotion out there, thinking something had happened and the thought Iris was out of his sight made him jump to his feet and rush out of the carriage, only to find this white fur ball being the cause of the commotion.

"What is that creature doing here?!" Cane growled darkly. He looked around, looking for a certain someone. If this lazy bear was here, its owner also must be nearby.

Iris and Ethan almost jumped out of their skins to hear how vicious and dangerous Cane’s voice sounded. Even Lil Thing covered its eyes with its paws, as if by doing so, it could hide itself from the angry predator before it.

"Cane." Iris immediately stood up and approached him. The lizard on her shoulder jumped to Ethan, seeking shelter from him. "You are awake," Iris said cheerfully, as she hugged him and pressed a sweet kiss to his cheek to soothe his annoyance.

However, Cane didn’t seem to notice that, as he kept looking around and Iris knew who he was trying to find.

"It’s just the white bear," Iris said in a calm voice, while Cane wrapped his arms around her waist protectively. He had been having a headache and was so spent with everything that was going on, thus the last thing he wanted was to have to deal with a certain someone he didn’t like.

"Ethan, ask Jace about his whereabouts and to keep his eyes on him."

"Got it. I have already sent a hawk to ask about it," Ethan replied immediately. The Gamma knew what he needed to do and now everyone could see the extent of their alpha’s possessiveness over his mate. "We just need to wait for his reply."

Hearing that, Cane didn’t say another word, but instead turned around and left for their carriage with Iris close to him.

"But, what about this bear? What are we going to do with it?" Ethan asked. They wouldn’t stay for long, because once they had rested enough and ate, they would resume their journey and this bear didn’t look like it was going to be able to keep up with them.

Cane glanced over his shoulder, his eyes were cold when he saw the bear still covering its eyes with its paws.

"The bear is big enough for dinner."

Iris sucked in a cold breath when she heard that. "Cane!" She protested, but the Alpha simply didn’t seem to care, as he helped Iris to get into the carriage and closed the door.

On the other hand, a corner of Ethan’s lips twitched. "He is joking, right?"

"I don’t want to eat bear meat," Aliana said, standing beside the Gamma and glancing at the adorable white bear.

Not long after, there was a reply from Jace, telling them the merchant was still in the pack and he didn’t seem to care about his pet roaming around or following the entourage, which meant, he wouldn’t send someone to pick up this white fur ball and Ethan opted to send one of the warriors to take the bear back to the pack.

However, the bear didn’t want to go. It literally sprawled its limbs out on the ground and due to its huge body and fatness, no one was able to move it. This bear was too heavy! After all, it was almost thrice a shifter’s size and seemingly weighed about ten of them together.

In the end, Ethan chose one warrior to stay with the bear and try to get in touch with Jace to ask Lou to pick up his pet.

But, when the entourage started moving, the bear got up and walked at the end of the entourage as well, following them again. Even though it could hardly keep up with their pace, they could still see its white fur in the distance.

Cane growled because Iris was daring enough to throw his words back in his face. In one swift move, he pinned her down on the bed.

This carriage was spacious enough for both of them to sleep comfortably and Haco had put magic around it, so no one from outside could hear the noise from inside. This was the same carriage that Cane took from the Riverside pack.

"You’ve become so bold recently, Iris," Cane said in his hoarse voice, as he held both of her arms beside her body and nibbled on her earlobe.

"Cane!" Iris squirmed, trying to get away from his assault, but she had nowhere to go when he trapped her with his body.

"I want to see how bold you can be," Cane whispered in her ear and this made Iris blush when he licked her neck, leaving wet kisses along her collarbones and now Iris was lightheaded, as she could feel the atmosphere change.

Cane let go of her hands and lifted her leg, as he caressed her inner thigh, which sent shivers down her spine. Iris breathed heavily when Cane lowered the collar of her dress and kissed her chest.

"Cane... I am still on my monthly cycle..." Iris reminded him hoarsely, her voice was shaking with the desire she tried to suppress. She felt so ashamed, but she couldn’t deny it. Every time Cane touched her in a certain way, she felt like her skin was on fire.

Cane lifted his head and stared at her face that flushed red, her lips slightly parted and Cane had this dark urge to shove his tongue inside.

"Do you mind it?" Cane asked and Iris’ blue eyes widened in surprise at the suggestion behind his question.

"I- is it not dirty?" Iris stuttered.
