The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: CAN’T YOU HANDLE ONE?

Cane woke up the moment Iris got off the bed and he watched how she put her cloak and clumsily neatened her messy curls, but in the end, she gave up and walked toward the door.

However, Redmond and Will had been knocking and calling for him since a few minutes ago.

He didn’t want to meet with them and face their countless questions, especially when he had to deal with Redmond regarding the issue of the lycan. The warrior, absolutely, would give him a hard time.

Therefore, he didn’t say anything, more so, he wanted to know what Iris was going to say to him and how she would handle the situation.

He didn’t have high hopes for her, but what he heard was beyond his expectation. The woman actually stood up for him.

This room was not like the Alpha or the Luna’s room, which was sound proof, thus he could hear their conversation clearly from behind the closed door.

He heard everything; how Redmond tried to persuade Iris to give up on him and report this to the King. If Cane was someone else, he would have agreed with what Redmond said, because that was true.

How long could he keep this secret? And what would happen if the secret ever came to light?

Iris got the perfect opportunity to save herself and turn her back against the man that had forced himself on her.

Yet, she was very naïve to turn it down and even get angry on his behalf.

Cane closed his eyes, listening to how Redmond tried to edge Iris over and how she defended him in the only way she knew.

He only got off the bed when he heard the door slammed close, Iris must not have realized the strength that she used.

And when Cane walked toward the door, he found her slumped down on the floor, hugging herself. Her curly, auburn hair looked messy, which made her look like she was wearing a big red cloak from this position. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Somehow, Cane couldn’t resist the urge to touch her, to run his fingers through her curls, he wanted to be close to her.

What an irony...

He became infatuated with the only woman that he shouldn’t. When did all of this start? Was it when he marked her in his lycan form? So, as long as the curse was on him, he would always feel this way toward her? What about the lycan and Iris?

There were so many unanswered questions.

Iris raised her head abruptly when she felt someone touched her, she was startled to see Cane and this made him retract his hand and stood up.
