The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982: TRYING TO HEAL

Knowing Iris, Cane was sure, she would do anything, everything to save Letto but the fact that she didn’t do it made the alpha was even more concern at her.

There must be a more important reason about why she didn’t do it and seeing her feeling so much guilt pained Cane. He lifted her body and cradled her. He didn’t question his mate again, because right now Iris was too devastated to answer any question.

Like usual, Cane waited until she calmed down, he let her to take her own time to understand her feeling, but he also made sure that she knew he was there with her.

After an hour had passed, finally Iris was calm down enough to stop crying, but it didn’t mean she would immediately speak.

Aliana came to deliver her meal and she saw Iris’s current condition, but knowing the alpha was there with her, she didn’t say anything and immediately left the room.

Iris only asked once about their babies and after Cane reassured her that the two of them were well taken care of and surrounded by their people, Iris simply nodded and rested her head against his chest again. She clutched onto him, as if she was afraid Cane would vanish all of sudden.

"I can save him, Cane. I could have saved him..." Iris finally spoke after they stayed in this silence for hours. "I can use the air magic stone to save him, but I couldn’t use it."

"Why?"

"Because I need to use it on you."

Not like the other magic stone, air magic stone was only one in this entire realm, once it’s gone, it would be forever gone.

Therefore, if Iris used it to save Letto, she had to sacrifice Cane. No. Called her cruel and every bad name on the book, but she would rather to have someone else’s died rather than Cane.

Iris would rather kill a hundred people than to see Cane suffered.

Called her insane and selfish, but she was not going to lose Cane no matter what.

"For what?" Cane still couldn’t understand. His lack of knowledge about magic started to annoy him now.

"Lu was extracted from you," Iris said. "...Haco, in his last days..." She felt her throat tightened, she couldn’t continue. She didn’t want to imagine if Cane had to go through the same thing like Haco. She didn’t even want to think of it.

And Iris didn’t need to explain her point, because Cane completely understood what she was going to say.

"You are not going to lose me, Iris. Haco and I were different."

Iris shook her head. "I am not taking the risk, Cane." She was not going to take the risk, she was going to do everything in her power to prevent that from happening, not even a tiny bit chance was allowed for that to happen.

Yes, Haco and Cane were different.

Haco was a magic user and Lu had been with him for more than five decades, but while Cane was a shifter and Lu had only been with him for three years, Haco had never integrated with Lu in the deeper level like Cane did.

Cane literally used his power and every knowledge and memories the lycan had. Cane and Lu was only a step away from being fused together like what happened between Iris and Na.
