The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A MYSTERIOUS MAN

Aside from Iris’ scent, which he was very familiar with, there was another scent that he couldn’t place. Someone was inside this room a moment ago, because the scent was still so strong, it actually lingered in this room.

Cane knew that he was right when he saw Iris’ expression, she was stupefied. "What happened? Someone was here." He looked around him, but couldn’t find anyone.

"There was a man. He came through the window," Iris said. She pointed at the window and Cane immediately looked outside. The window’s glass was open, but there was no sign of someone being there.

The scent of that man must have been blown away with the wind, thus he couldn’t pinpoint the direction he had left.

"What does he look like?" Cane closed the window and locked it before he approached Iris. His eyes were so calm, it was hard to read what he was thinking right now.

"He looked so young, maybe twenty to twenty three years old, with green eyes and golden hair." Iris tried to remember her short encounter with that young man.

"What did he say?" Cane narrowed his eyes and stood right in front of Iris, so she needed to crane her neck to look at him, because of the stark difference in their heights.

"He didn’t say anything."

"What did he do?"

Iris’s cheeks dusted pink when she tried to explain, because no matter how she thought about their position earlier, it could cause a misunderstanding. "I was about to kick him, but I think he noticed someone was coming, so he stopped and disappeared, poof, just like smoke." She used her hands to emphasize her explanation.

Cane looked at her closely, just like that man did, but this time, Iris shrunk back and lowered her head.

Silence stretched between them in this room and Cane was deep in thought, until he heard the bell ringing in the distance, indicating that it was evening already.

He tapped her shoulder to get her attention. "We will leave now." There was no way to find out who that man, who had entered this room, was. More so, they needed to leave this place, after Cane had sorted out all the things that he wanted to do in this black market.

He didn’t come just to look for grains and dry meat.

"Oh, yes..." Iris said softly and started to pack her things. Thankfully, she had enough sleep and felt a little bit better to have another long journey back to their pack.

However, this time, Cane waited for her and together, they went to the first floor and had their dinner before they set out to leave the black market.

"Where is Ethan?" Iris just noticed that the gamma was missing after they had their dinner.
