The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: BURRIED ON THE BACK OF HER MIND

"That thing." Cane tapped her shoulder and looked at the top of her hair, his brows knitted. If that little lizard breathed fire right now, her hair would be burned. "Don’t let anyone else see it."

"Okay." Iris reached into her hair and caressed the little lizard, as it nuzzled her finger.

After that, Cane led the way back.

"Why is that thing hiding in your hair?" Redmond frowned, he was displeased to see such a creature.

Not only him, but the rest of them also didn’t understand why they had to take that lizard with them when they could kill it or let it back in nature.

Cane only told them Iris found the little lizard inside the cave, but he didn’t tell them how it appeared, since they didn’t know about the fire magic stone, thus there was no need to alarm them over it.

Especially when Redmond was here. Cane didn’t have the slightest intention to explain a single thing to him.

"I don’t know..." Iris replied. "Maybe the lizard likes it." She couldn’t come up with a better excuse and Redmond scoffed.

"Come on, we need to go, you have delayed us enough!" Redmond said, as he grabbed Iris’ hand to walk toward his horse.

He was always acting so brashly, but because Iris had gotten used to it, she didn’t complain and followed him to the horse, as he helped her to mount it.

Even before they started moving, Iris could feel her butt burning in pain. The pain from yesterday had not yet been relieved.

"This will only be a day ride, hold on." Redmond’s voice was curt, it was not clear whether he was still encouraging her or not at this moment.

Sighing deeply, Iris wrapped her arms around his waist, because she knew there was no point in keeping distance while riding the horse together, and rested her head on his back.

From the side, Cane glanced at them, but said nothing, as he mounted his own horse and led this small party.

The journey to the Moon Dew Pack would only take a day from here and after a short break in the afternoon, when all of the men, except for the alpha, surrounded her to watch the lizard breathe out fire, they resumed their journey.

It was midnight when they arrived at the Moon Dew pack, where they would stay the night and move to Aarleen city, in order to participate in the auction for the access to enter the black market.

Redmond went to find an inn for them to stay the night and once Iris cleaned herself up and laid on the bed, she fell asleep almost immediately.

She was so tired and was in so much pain from a whole day riding, she slept without trouble, but once again she dreamed about the five swords in that empty hall.

Iris probably tried to act normally with him, but it didn’t mean the dreadful thing that happened between them could be forgotten so easily. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
