The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: YOU EAT LIKE A BIRD

Ethan was so hungry when he woke up and wanted to wolf down two whole chickens and a few loaves of bread. When he was halfway to the dining hall, he met with Iris, who was looking around, as if she was lost.

Thus, without thinking twice, the gamma approached her and smiled brightly at her. "Good morning, Iris!"

Iris was startled because he came all of a sudden, but she responded to his greeting. It was not clear whether she simply greeted him or she just responded to his greeting.

But then, because they never had a conversation before and Iris was too quiet, Ethan didn’t know what else to say. Soon enough, his smile faltered and things felt slightly awkward.

Yet, out of the blue, Ethan blurted out, "This is a good day!" Once the words left his mouth, a thunder sounded from outside, as if to deny his statement.

Iris turned to look out the big window on her left, there was a frown between her brows. "But, it’s a downpour," she said in a matter of fact tone.

Ugh!

Ethan scratched his head and laughed nervously. "Yes, I think we have different perspectives of a day being good..." he muttered unreasonably. Thankfully, Iris didn’t ask further, but the silence that engulfed them was awkward. He tapped her shoulder so she could look at him. "Are you going to the dining hall to get breakfast?"

"Yes, Hanna said last night the dining hall is around here," Iris replied.

"Oh, great! I am going to get my breakfast too before morning training." Ethan clapped his hands.

"Morning training? But, it is raining outside," Iris said, as she glanced out the window again.

"Nah, this kind of rain is not enough to stop the training session." Ethan looked energetic.

But, it is a downpour...

Iris didn’t voice her opinion and walked with him.

"I think the alpha and the rest of the warriors will be having breakfast too before our morning training," Ethan said, but at this time, Iris wasn’t paying attention to him.

Which was a bad thing for Iris, because once she stepped into the dining hall, she saw hundreds of warriors busy wolfing down their meals, laughing so hard and talking to each other. It seemed, despite the downpour outside, they were in a good mood to return to their pack house.

Iris couldn’t understand this feeling, because she had never felt longing for a certain place. Even as she had lived in the Blue Moon pack for a whole twenty years of her life, she didn’t feel homesick at all. She didn’t want to return, but she was fine if she had to go back. There was no desire to be somewhere, because she felt she didn’t belong anywhere.

"Why don’t you come in?" Ethan asked, as he grabbed her elbow when she backed away from the door.

"I- I think I will eat later..." Iris said timidly. These people intimidated her. Their strong and staunch postures were reminding her not all of them liked her yet. Stone was still so cold to her even after everything that she had done, let alone these warriors.

Commoners probably found it easy to change their minds and feel touched by what she had done, but these people were warriors and she was afraid that they would hate it to be in the same room with her.

"Why?" Ethan then glanced at the room and noticed how her blue eyes were faltered at the sight. "Don’t worry, you can sit with the alpha and ignore the rest."

No. That was not even a solution. She wondered if she would be able to swallow her food if she ate with Cane.

However, Ethan didn’t accept a ’no’ for an answer, as he pulled her inside. He did it easily, because her harmless effort to free herself from his grip was simply a waste of energy.

Almost in an instant, once she stepped into the dining hall, all eyes were on her. The room quieted down almost instantly and Iris could feel a lump forming in her throat because of how nervous she was. Their eyes were akin to needles, she felt her skin being pricked uncomfortably.

Ugh. She would get indigestion instead if she were to eat like this.

It was only Ethan’s hand grabbing her wrist that led her to the head of the table, where Cane was sitting, having his breakfast, with Jace on his left and Aria on his right.

Needless to say, the mistress was extremely agitated to see her there.

"What are you doing? Why did you bring her here?" Aria snapped at Ethan, as he sat down next to Jace, while Iris sat close to him.

Ethan glanced at Aria and started to pile up food on his plate. "Why? I met her when she was looking for the dining hall."

Would a runt eat so little like a bird? Ethan wanted to ask that out of curiosity, but it didn’t sound polite at all. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
