The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: STEALING THE STONE

What the guild master spouted thus far was utter bullshit. How could his pet enter a door that was sealed by magic?

"I need your mate to find it." Lou looked at Iris with interest, though he was talking with Cane right now. His eyes were filled with curiosity upon seeing her auburn hair.

Auburn hair and clear blue eyes... those were not common traits in this continent. About that, he was very sure.

And that kind of gaze didn’t go unnoticed in Cane’s observant eyes. "If even you can’t find it, what makes you think she can?"

"Huh?" Lou seemed to recover his wits and laughed awkwardly. He didn’t think of that question at all. "Lil Thing is very special and I am sure your mate will be able to call it out of its hideout."

Even Will was able to realize that this man was talking pure rubbish, but he didn’t voice his opinion, while Redmond had long ignored the conversation, because he knew this man was a swindler and it was already a mistake for them to come here in the first place.

"What kind of place is that?"

"Just an abandoned cave." Lou shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Just an abandoned cave? So, there is nothing inside, right?" Cane repeated the same thing. He looked at the head of the guild and nodded. "Okay." Even though his excuse didn’t make any sense, he still agreed.

Will and Redmond frowned. They knew the alpha was up to something, but they didn’t know what it was, thus they could only wait and see what he was going to do.

"So, what are you waiting for?" Cane asked, as he took Iris’ hand.

The corners of Lou’s lips twitched, this was his place, his guild and his request, but why did he feel like he was the one who was being ordered around? While this alpha could do whatever? This didn’t feel right at all.

But, even when he was thinking that way, he couldn’t retaliate against him, which only vexed him further.

"Only you two will go inside, the rest will wait here," Lou grumbled, as he led the way.

Upon hearing that, Redmond and Will were about to argue, but Cane shot them a glance, which silenced them, as they could only watch their retreating backs disappear from their view.

"What kind of person is this Lou?" Will looked at Redmond once it was only the two of them inside this waiting room.

Redmond flopped down and grumbled again. "A busy body," he replied curtly, but that was all, because that was the truth.

On the other hand, Iris glanced at Cane beside her, as she could feel his callous hand wrapped around hers. His hand was so big and warm and it gave her a sense of security. It was weird she felt that way about the man that had hurt her.

This was the second time they were here and the same old man had been waiting for them in front of the door, before he opened it. Iris watched how the door glowed with golden light before it was opened.

"Here." Lou leaned lazily against the door frame and glanced at Iris once again, before he looked at Cane. "Thank you for your cooperation. I hope to see my Lil Thing again."

Cane said nothing and walked past the door with Iris close to him. "How can I get out of here?"

"Don’t worry, he will be inside as well." Lou nodded at the old man who stepped in as well before closing the door behind him. And right now, it was only the three of them behind the door, while Lou was on the opposite side. "I hope to see my Lil Thing very soon!" Lou shouted.
