The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: I NEED YOUR MATE TO FIND IT

Cane pushed Iris’ body against his, so she could lean on him instead of being so taut and hurting herself. He knew that she was still in pain learning how to ride a horse all day the day before, thus it wouldn’t help her or him if she kept being so tense.

On the other hand, Iris licked her lips at the gesture, she was unsure if this was alright, but then when she let her weight fall on him, he didn’t say anything, even when she wriggled her body to find a comfortable position, Cane still said nothing.

This made Iris smile, she could finally relax and not dread their long journey back to the Arleen city. Actually, this was way more comfortable than riding with Redmond, because she wouldn’t be afraid of falling if she felt sleepy, since Cane’s strong arms would keep her in place.

However, before they could reach the exit gates, someone blocked their path and made their horses almost run into him.

Cane didn’t pull the horse to a stop until it was so close to that man, as if he would really run him over, which caused him to tumble back and fall on his butt.

"Alpha Cane! You are so ruthless!" Lou grumbled, as he stood up and rubbed his back. His butt hurt, but once he faced the alpha, he was all smiles. "Long time no see, Alpha."

Lou grinned from ear to ear, as he glanced at Iris, who was sitting on top of the horse. Cane’s body towered above hers, making the stark difference between them look very clear. Iris looked so small compared to the alpha.

"I thought you wanted to get the Asturi stem. I waited for you, but you didn’t come, so I humbled myself to come looking for you."

Lou was still wearing his red cloak and looked very dandy, if only he was wearing a dress and had long hair, he surely would look even prettier than the queen herself.

"Scram!" Cane glared at him and made the horse raise its front legs, as if about to kick away the annoying man.

He was not a shifter, so if the horse really kicked him, he would suffer serious injuries. However, despite knowing that, he still stood in front of them with his brilliant smile, which Redmond found annoying.

Redmond didn’t like this man at all, ever since he met him for the first time when he went to the Rosantine guild with Mason.

"Ck, ck." Lou clicked his tongue. The alpha didn’t even get down from his horse when he talked to him, making the respected guild master look like a peasant.

Fine.

Lou was very curious about that girl with auburn hair, thus he couldn’t help but lower his ego. And when he learned that the stupid crown prince had failed to bring her to him, he went there by himself.

But, this alpha didn’t give him face at all and acted so arrogantly. If this was any other day, he wouldn’t let just anyone treat him like this.
