The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348: MY BROTHER IS ALREADY HERE

"Tired?" Iris asked, a breeze caressed her rosy cheeks. "Come here..." she patted her lap.

Who would be able to turn down such a tempting offer? Obviously not Cane, because the next second, he dropped his head onto her lap. He was bone weary and couldn’t care less about his surroundings, the only thing that he knew, he was surrounded by this blissful scent of his mate. Not to mention the way she caressed his head which eased him to sleep faster.

It wasn’t long before Cane fell into a deep slumber, while they were taking shelter under the shade of the trees, as the sun appeared from the horizon behind them.

Iris ran her fingers through his hair, as she occasionally kissed his forehead. Cane was too comfortable to even shift in his sleep. He slept like a baby and for once, Iris could see a young man, who had exhausted his energy to survive in this cruel world.

If she could, she wanted to shield him from all the bad things, yet they were surrounded by them and she held no power to do so. The only thing she was able to do for him was to offer a place to rest.

Iris hummed and looked at her surroundings, while she waited for Cane to wake up. She covered his face with her hand, so the light of the sun wouldn’t wake him up when it was close to noon. She didn’t move even when she felt her legs going numb.

She liked this silence inside this forest, while staring at the sleeping Cane. The scar on his face was proof of the cruelty of her father and what he had gone through to survive.

However, the serenity didn’t last long when Iris caught movement in the bushes not too far from her. Here, the grass and bushes had started to grow and the weather was slightly warm, though the sun was not as scorching as in the afternoon summer. It was warm enough for monsters to wake up from their deep slumber during winter.

"Cane..." Iris was afraid it was a monster or something and she could feel her little lizard moving out of her pocket, climbing to her shoulder in anticipation. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

The lizard found her when she and Cane finished talking with Koda and alpha Derick. This little creature had grown and now it was about half of her palm and pretty smart to sneak out of her bedroom to find her. As such, this creature came with her and Cane as well on their way to the Riverside pack.

"Cane." Iris nudged Cane, but he was still sleeping soundly. Her heart leapt to her throat and she was ready to scream and shake him to wake him up, but as it turned out, it was just Will. "Will? Heavens! You scared me..." Iris clutched her chest.

The little lizard tilted its tiny head and when it recognized Will, it went back to hiding inside Iris’ pocket again, taking a nap.

Will looked at Iris and then at Cane. "I am sorry," he said in a small voice, as he came over to them, while bringing a bag and a small box. Iris could guess it was food. She was hungry and she only realized it now.

"Here, eat something." He put down the bag and the box.

"How did you find us here?" Iris asked in a low voice, so she wouldn’t wake Cane up.

"I can smell your scent." They should have met hours ago, but apparently, the lycan had run too fast, which could be equal to a two day’s worth trip, thus it took Will hours to catch up to him, though he went out of the capital city first.

The lycan moved extremely fast.
