The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 541

Chapter 541: WISH

Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain,

living a life with nothing to gain,

Surrounded by darkness, overwhelmed with shame.

A life without peace with no one to blame.

Do you know of a place unseen,

A place that holds only shattered dreams,

A place filled with sorrow with no end in sight,

I am given this gift each and every night.

Do you know of a place so cold,

This is the place I call my soul,

A place without hope or comforting dreams,

A life not worth living wouldn’t it seem.

Cane sat Iris down on the edge of the bed and reached out to her back to untie the strings behind her dress. He had done it a few times and now, he could say he already got a hang of it, thus there was no need to rip her dress anymore. Iris would complain every time he did that, especially to the dresses she liked.

"Cane? What are you doing?!" Iris was taken aback when she was undressed so suddenly, she held on to the front of her dress to cover her chest.

It was so different to be naked in front of him when they were in the throes of passion than when she was sober enough to feel self conscious.

"You have saved one of my warriors’ lives, let me take care of you, Iris," Cane said. He bent his body and kissed the tip of her nose. He was a little bit upset to see how pale she was, but he kept his emotions in check. It was only his overly protective instinct that didn’t want her to be in this state.

Thankfully, the Alpha was still rational enough not to scold her for not taking care of herself. Iris’ intention was so genuine, the aftermath of it was what Cane didn’t like.

"You are sweating," Cane said gently. He tugged the dress lightly, but Iris still didn’t let go.

"I- I can do it myself... I can call Aliana or Hanna to help..." Iris felt like she was going to melt under Cane’s intense gaze.

"You have me here, why do you need them?" Cane bent his body and knelt before her. He traced his fingers on her exposed shoulders, which made Iris’ skin hum in delight. "Don’t be stubborn, take it off," Cane coaxed her and watched how his woman turned so red. "I have seen everything already, what are you embarrassed of?"

"Yes... but, it’s because... it was necessary for us to take off our clothes... when you know... doing that."

"Doing what?"

Iris pursed her lips when she realized that Cane actually was trying to play a fool by asking that question. There was no way he didn’t know what she meant and when she lifted her head to look at him, she could see clear amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Cane!"

But, her protest was swallowed when Cane kissed her lips and pulled her up by holding her waist before he cradled her face to deepen the kiss.

Iris was breathless and moaned when Cane squeezed her bottom lightly and pressed himself against her. She felt a little bit lightheaded when he sucked on her tongue and his hand left her face to squeeze her breast.

She could feel how she became excited despite her exhaustion, but when she wondered whether she could take it further in her condition, Cane stepped back and their magical moment was cut short and before long, she found herself only in her undergarments, while her dress pooled around her ankles.

"I am going to get a dress for you to change into," Cane said with a satisfied smirk on the corners of his lips. He actually smirked when he saw the disappointment in Iris’ eyes and then it turned into a mortified look the moment she realized what he was up to.

"Cane!" Iris used her hair to cover her nakedness and then went to the bed in a rush to cover herself with a blanket, while Cane stared at her bottom when she turned around, her short legs poking out of the blanket, even from behind he could tell how annoyed she was.

Cane approached her and put his arms beside her body, trapping her. "Don’t be so disappointed. You are on your period and tired, it will be too overwhelming for you."

"I am not!" Iris looked mortified, knowing Cane could tell how aroused she was. Ugh.

As if Cane could tell what was in her mind, he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. "Don’t worry, Grace’s concoction worked. No one can tell that you are aroused."
