The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351: A LITTLE THING ABOUT HER

"What is it?" Iris’ blue eyes lit up, they looked so pretty under this starry sky.

Even when Cane appreciated the serenity of this forest as its quietness was to his liking, still, it was her presence that brought peace to his chaotic mind, enveloping him with the tranquility he craved.

Cane stared at her for a little bit longer. The stray strands of her hair fluttered in the wind and she shuddered a little bit when the coldness caressed her rosy cheeks. Her curls looked unkempt and Cane noticed how she would try to tame her hair every morning, because she seemed very conscious every time he saw her sporting such messy hair.

However, little did Iris know. Cane liked to watch her that way. She looked adorable in her own way, as she clumsily combed her fingers through the tangles of her locks.

"What is it?" Iris asked again when Cane said nothing and just kept staring at her.

"Because we can’t use the mindlink, as the connection has been severed, I want us to have a way to communicate without anyone knowing it." Cane only managed to mend the link between him and his gamma and beta, but even so, they needed to stand within three steps range, further than that, it wouldn’t work.

"How?" Iris looked excited when she read that. She scooted closer to him, seemingly eager to have more things, which belonged to just the two of them.

Cane smiled to see her expression. He had expected this, but somehow, it still managed to warm his heart. He stretched his hands to readjust her cloak, so she would feel a little bit warmer.

"Finish your food first."

Iris’ face fell reading that, she pouted and obediently ate her food.

But, when she was eating, Cane leaned over and kissed her head, which surprised her, but when she looked up, he had already shifted his attention back to his food.

Iris lowered her head, but the tips of her ears reddened further. Iris noticed this was the first time Cane kissed her again since they started this journey back to the southern pack, because any interaction they had was during their meal and Cane usually didn’t talk much.

Why did he suddenly kiss me?

Iris munched on her meat slowly, while not too far from them, the little lizard had long finished its food and sprawled on the floor, feeling happy because its tummy was full.

Somehow, Cane had been using this little lizard like nothing but a lighter, instead of a rare creature that was supposed to belong to the Serafim.

Thankfully, the lizard no longer tried to burn the Alpha. It seemed it found it was just a waste of its energy, since Cane would heal pretty fast.

More so, the bad alpha fed it, thus there was no need for it to piss him off over petty things.

"I am done," Iris said.

Meanwhile, Cane had finished his food a long time ago and now he was preparing a makeshift bed for Iris, before he settled next to her.

Though the weather was still rather cold and monsters should not have been woken up from their hibernation, he didn’t want to take the risk.

Cane would always tell Iris that he needed to stay alert when she asked him to lay down as well, even when Iris offered him to take turns to watch, he would just rub her head and tell her to sleep.

"What will we do now?" Iris couldn’t hide her excitement.
