The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782: THOSE WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND AND THOSE WHO LEFT

Lou frowned and a few second later it clicked in his mind. So, she forgot about that part as well. It did make sense, because that same day, she lost her baby and he didn’t want to dig too dip into it.

With that the merchant simply waved his hand. "Never mind, it’s not anything important. You can just forget it."

If she didn’t remember it, so it could count, as him was freed from his promise, right?

After that, Iris went to see Redmond and he personally showed his baby to her, while Iris and Sofia were being cordial with each other. They didn’t interact much, but it seemed there was a tacit understanding between them that they would move on from what happened in the past.

On the other hand, Zale thought when Cane wanted to talk to him, he expected the alpha to ask him to protect the luna, kept his eyes on her and made sure she was not alone and always accompanied her.

He expected, he would be given an important task, but then he met with disappointment when the alpha wanted him to show his progress with the stupid stone.

"Really? At time like this?!" Zale wanted to get angry, but he was still scared to act too outrageous in front of the alpha. "Alpha, can’t you give me a real task?!" Zale complained.

"Unless you can suddenly control this attitude and emotion of yours, this will be your task." Cane stared at the young boy. "Or you can go ahead and do whatever you want."

With that was being said, Cane turned around and was about to leave Zale, but he quickly blocked his way and stretched out both of his hands. "Which one?" he asked sullenly. He felt so stupid to play this game with the alpha at critical time like this.

"Here." Cane tapped his left hand and his guess was right, the stone was there. Zale was pissed, but he couldn’t figure out how the alpha could always guess it.

Cane took the stone and then this was his turn to let him guess. He stretched out both of his hands.

Zale tried to sniff both of his hand and guess where the stone was, in the end, he went with his intuition, but his guess was wrong when he chose the left hand.

"I should have chosen the right hand!" Zale said in frustration, but when Cane opened his right hand, the stone was not there too. "That’s not fair, the stone has never been there in the first place."

"I have never said the stone will be in either hands," Cane replied, he fished out the stone from his pocket and handed it to Zale again. "You only focus on what you see, you need to see things in whole." Cane patted his shoulder. "Don’t play in someone else’s game, make your own rule."

Zale blinked his eyes, staring at the stone in his hand. He seemed to grasp what Cane meant with what he said. It was not about the stone to begin with...

The alpha tried to teach him something that he was lacking of, set his priority in the right path, where sacrificing himself for the luna was not a solution like he always thought he would do the first thing if he faced with such situation.

Somehow, in weird way, everything related...

Cane knew Zale was smart, but he was too hotheaded for his own good and he needed someone by Iris’s side, who could voice out their opinion and braved enough to defy him if he thought it was not good for his mate.

Cane had a lot of people, who would drop everything and follow him blindly, thus he didn’t need Zale to be one of them.

That afternoon, when winter almost over, Cane’s group set off first.

After everything was set and they were ready to leave, Cane approached Iris again. He hugged her so tight, while she cried silently on his shoulder. They didn’t say anything, but maybe they didn’t need to, because this silence and the feeling of each other presence was all they needed right now.

Cane kissed her forehead, her cheeks, the tip of her nose, her lips and her palms, when he saw that small dot.

"What is this?" Cane asked and Iris explained. He listened and only nodded at the explanation. As long as it was not a weird thing that Lou put on his mate, he wouldn’t mind another layer of protection for her when he was not around.

"Come back to me, Cane. No matter how, you need to come back to me," Iris said. She paused for a while, because she felt familiar with the words she was saying, as if she had said the same thing before. "Even if you have to use the lycan power, just do it. As long as you are comeback, we will face everything together." Iris meant every word she said, but she got this feeling, as if she was having a déjà vu.
