The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: DIFFICULT MORNING

"Why are you running away?" Aliana panted heavily, once they were out of the tavern. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

"You are the one who started running first," Ethan retorted.

It was not clear who had suggested running away first the moment they saw their enraged Alpha. They were mortified to see the killing intent in Cane’s eyes, knowing they were at fault for taking Iris to the tavern.

"Do you think Cane will kill us?" Ethan grimaced. He really didn’t want to deal with Cane right now.

"There is a high possibility he will do that."

"You sound so optimistic with your answer..."

It was already late at night, but this area had never been quiet, since all the warriors used to wind up here after their shifts were over.

"What are our chances?" Ethan contemplated. They couldn’t avoid their alpha forever.

"We need to get to the Luna first and let her talk with the Alpha. If everything that you said is true, the Alpha will listen to her, right."

"Ah! Great idea!" Ethan agreed immediately. Their best chance to survive was to get the Luna on their side.

"What great idea?"

Ethan and Aliana screeched when they heard this voice from behind them. They were deep in their thoughts so they didn’t realize Jace was there. Not only Jace, but Lou was also with him.

"Jace! You startled me!" Aliana complained, she clutched her chest, as her heart started beating wildly. "What are you doing here?"

"I am looking for you, people say you are here with the Luna and the others." Jace glared at Ethan who immediately stood behind Aliana. The Beta was still angry with him because he took his sister out to fight and exposed her to danger when the attack happened.

"Which tavern Iris is in right now?"

Aliana tilted her head and the corners of her lips twitched to see how eager this merchant was to court her luna openly. "You are too late, the Alpha must have taken her back to the pack house already."

Lou said something in Andel language, though they didn’t know what it meant, they were sure it was a curse or bad word.

"Aliana, we need to talk," Jace said sternly, disregarding her conversation with the merchant.

This time, Aliana shifted her attention to her brother and sighed. She could avoid the Alpha, but it seemed, she couldn’t run away from her brother.

"Okay." Aliana nodded. After all, they would have this conversation sooner than later, it would be good to get done with it as soon as possible, so Jace would stop worrying about her. "Let’s talk."

============================

"We were young and the only thing we listened to was the sound of our hearts racing!"*

Iris quoted a poem that she read not so long ago, as she watched Cane attentively change her dress because she was too stubborn about not getting changed.

She wanted to sleep in a beautiful dress, so her dreams would be beautiful too, at least, that was what she said.

Currently, they were inside their bedroom and it took quite an effort for Cane to drag Iris back to the pack house, as she didn’t want to get into the carriage and wanted Cane to carry her on his back.

Therefore, on their way back to the pack house, countless jaws dropped to see the Alpha giving the Luna a piggyback ride, while she confessed her love for him. She became so blunt and bold when she was drunk and Cane knew that.

Fortunately, Iris simply whispered to him and did not make the confession for public consumption.

"Can you feel how my heart is racing?" Iris took Cane’s hand and put it over her chest, while she was half naked before him. "Can you feel that? My heart is beating so fast whenever you are near me. Do you feel the same?"

Cane sighed, he wanted to stay angry with her for being so reckless, but then seeing her so free and how she tried to bond with the other warriors left Cane with a mixture of emotions.

"I do, Iris. I do. But, I am so upset with you right now." Cane pulled his hand away and helped her to get into her night dress.

"Why?" Iris frowned. She pushed Cane to the bed and straddled him, as her face was so close to his. "Why?" She leaned over even more and bit his shoulder.

Cane noticed that his mate loved to bite whenever she got drunk. Easily, he flipped her body and now he was hovering above her, holding down both of her arms beside her body, yet Iris started to grind herself against him, which made Cane growl dangerously.

At this point, Cane was speechless. "Tomorrow, you better remember what you are doing now, Iris."
