The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: SHE DID NOT LIE

’What is it?’ Cane mouthed. He thought she was feeling uncomfortable. After all, this was the first time she was in the palace, being scared for Ethan on top of that.

But when she raised her head and looked at Cane, she only frowned and looked even more uncomfortable to talk. She glanced around, indicating that she couldn’t talk in front of so many people. It was strange for her to act this way.

Cane looked at her for a moment before he let the King know that his mate needed to take rest.

"She is not like us, her body is way more delicate and a long journey in this harsh weather has taken a toll on her," Cane said smoothly. Everyone present there knew that Iris was a runt and fell sick constantly, thus the King didn’t have any reason to hold them back when the conversation with Lou didn’t concern him at all.

"Vemion, take them to their rooms, it seems Iris is going to faint if I hold them back a little bit longer," King Aeon guffawed, but his voice was laced with a mocking tone.

Cane only smiled to hear that. He said nothing at all, as they followed Vemion and Laluna out of the main hall, while someone had taken Ethan to his bedroom. He would stay there until further notice and the King had decided what his punishment would be.

Because the two of them were alpha and luna, of course, they were given only one bedroom, especially when they had been marked and mated.

It was a little bit awkward for Iris, since they didn’t talk for weeks, but right now there was another important thing that she needed to tell him.

"What is it?" Cane asked once they were alone inside the bedroom. Along the way, Iris kept holding his hand, as if she was afraid of letting him go, but that was actually what made him feel weird.

She was not in imminent danger nor was the wrath of the King directed at her, there was no reason for her to act clingy with him.

"This..." Iris raised her hand that held Cane’s. "I saw a dark wisp coming from your hand. I don’t know what it is."

"Dark wisp?" Cane furrowed his brows when he heard that. "What do you mean by dark wisp?"

"This..." Iris slowly let go of his hand and both of them stared at Cane’s hand to see what she meant by the dark wisp.

The dark wisp that Iris saw earlier was akin to light smoke that emanated from Cane’s palm and because she was not sure whether it was a good thing or not, she covered it with her own hands.

Yet, when Iris let go of his hand, there was no dark wisp. Cane’s hand looked normal, which surprised her and then she began to panic.

"I saw the dark wisp earlier, I swear. I didn’t lie to you." She was afraid that Cane would think she was lying to him. "There was a dark wisp, it was like a dark streak, I don’t know what it was, thus I covered it with my hands, I swear! I didn’t lie to you."
