The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: SIDE STORY (ETHAN): AN IDEA

"What the hell?" Lou approached the table where Ethan and Redmond had started to drink. "You start without me?"

Ethan and Redmond gave the merchant a nasty look. Both of them looked annoyed with his tardiness. He should have been here two hours ago, but he only showed up now.

"What with that look?" Lou sat down on the third chair between Redmond and Ethan, as he took a bottle, unscrewed it and gulped down the liquid inside. "I always like this drink! So, what is the plan?"

Ethan groaned.

"Nothing has decided yet." Redmond nodded at Ethan. "He freaked out with all the ideas."

"What a coward," Lou scoffed, which rewarded him with a glare from the gamma.

"I don’t know what I was thinking when I asked you guys for help with this," Ethan groaned. He must be not thinking straight when he asked these two morons about how to ask Aliana for a ceremony.

Well, people knew that they were together, but Ethan didn’t feel it was fair for Aliana to not have any ceremony. He wanted to make it official, but to ask her to do the ceremony with him, he wanted that to be a memorable moment.

Now, Ethan could see how wrong he was since the very beginning when he chose these two as his advisors.

"Fine, I will leave then." Lou and Redmond said in chorus, as they stood up, but Ethan immediately stopped them.

"No! I have paid for the drinks, you have drink too many bottles. You need to at least give me an idea or two!"

"I only drink this one! I will pay you back for this one bottle." Lou fished out his money, but Ethan shoved it down his pocket.

"No. There is no return." He glared at the two of them. "Look, no one will go home until I have a great idea how to do it."

"Just ask her to do that stupid ceremony." Lou looked annoyed, but the two of them sat down again. They even ordered more food.

"Plain and simple." It was a rare occasion for Redmond and Lou to be on the same page.

"No! I don’t want it to be plain and simple. I asked you two to be here to think of something memorable." Ethan frowned at them. "You really didn’t have any experience with woman, did you?"

"Wow! It’s so rich coming from a guy who has been crushing for one woman since his teenage day!" Redmond mocked the gamma.

Of course, they knew about this.

"Seriously, if I have to count how many women I have been with, it could match your age," Lou said proudly, even though recently the only woman that he was stuck with was Nala.

And as for Redmond, of course, you could tell he had been frolicking around when he was still the warrior of the Blue Moon pack.

"Oh, shut up." Ethan glowered at them. "There is nothing to be proud of that. There is no need to settle score between friends."

"Friend?" Redmond and Lou made a face. "We are not friend."

"If we drink together, we are friend," Ethan said lightly.

With that, Redmond and Lou put down their bottle. They didn’t want to be called as friend. An acquaintance was more than enough. Not friend.

"Geez. Are you going to die to be called as friend?"

And then, someone approached them. It was the beta, Jace happened to be around and he saw the three of them.

But the closer he got, the more he realized that they were pissed of something.

"What is it? Are you fighting?" Jace asked, he took a seat between Ethan and Lou.

"We are not fighting." Redmond furrowed his brows, with Jace’s question, he felt like a child.

"Not yet," Lou added.

"I wonder, if the two of you were fighting, who do you think will win?" Ethan asked Redmond and Lou randomly, it seemed he was already a little bit tipsy now.

"You will never find out who wins because one of us probably will kill you first," Lou replied, grinning from ear to ear because he managed to piss the gamma off even more.

"I shouldn’t have joined you all." Jace shook his head.

"Too late." Redmond nodded at Ethan. "You need to help him."

"No! He is her brother!" Ethan complained. "Don’t tell him!"

"What? Are you talking about Aliana?" Jace gave his attention to Ethan.

"How do you know?"

"Do you think, how many sisters I have?"

Redmond rolled his eyes and then stood up. "I will take my leave."

"No. You have not yet offered any idea." Ethan protested.
