The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: A PEACEFUL NIGHT

"P- pardon me?" Iris blanched when she heard the command. Her fists tightened under her long sleeves.

She wanted to say that there were literally brothels around them, he could pick anyone to his desire and fulfill his needs to his heart’s content, with someone that could give him pleasure, instead of her, who knew nothing about it.

But then, the thought of him sleeping with someone else didn’t sit well with her.

"Lay down on the bed," Cane repeated what he said earlier. He kneaded his forehead, seemingly trying to alleviate some pain, which made her a little bit worried.

Was this the feeling of seeing your man in pain?

If she could be worried about him, even over a little bit of discomfort that he felt, despite what he had done to her and hurt her, Iris couldn’t imagine what kind of agony that Cane would feel whenever he remembered his late mate.

How he felt when he saw with his own eyes, his other half being killed brutally, along with their firstborn.

He didn’t even show much emotion when she showed him the place where she buried the remains of his firstborn and his twin siblings.

"What are you staring at?" His voice was cold, but then he had never really warmed up to her, even after knowing what she had done.

In the end, since Iris knew she didn’t have any other choice, she went to the bed and was about to take off her clothes, but then Cane stopped her.

"Just lay down."

Iris blinked her eyes, yet she remembered that he didn’t need her to do that, thus she laid on the bed, waiting to see what he was going to do with her and braced herself for the inevitable.

However, even after a few minutes of waiting, Cane didn’t do anything, he didn’t make any move on her.

What was he waiting for?

Iris was nervous, but then she became curious because Cane didn’t do anything, nor did he approach her. She tilted her head to look at him and what she saw stunned her.

Cane was actually sleeping, his eyes were tightly shut while his head lolled to the side, as he was still sitting in the same position. Was he really sleeping now?

What was the point of calling her here when he wanted to sleep?

Iris pursed her lips. It was not that she wanted something to happen between them. The tips of her ears turned red for having such thoughts. She was having a hard time guessing what was on his mind.
