The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: THE FIRST SHIFTER

Cane really didn’t have any patience for him and he clearly didn’t want to waste his time. They needed to go back to the palace before someone realized they had gone missing.

"Talk," Cane said impatiently. His eyes were so cold.

The sorcerer grumbled, but when he was about to talk, his eyes caught sight of Iris and he looked very shocked. "What is that?!" He pointed his finger at her.

Leros and Clad had released the rope that tied him to the chair and without his magic, he was only a mere old man, one of them was enough to keep him in check.

Cane was alarmed, as he turned around and saw the lizard on Iris’ shoulder. She noticed it too late and tried to hide the little creature. Cane frowned. He had told her to hide the lizard, but she actually brought it with her? Unfortunately, he didn’t notice it earlier.

"What is that? What is that? Show me!" The sorcerer chanted, as he moved forward to approach Iris. Seeing how he was so eager to come closer, she backed away instinctively. "That’s a salamander, right?! I am sure that’s a salamander! How did she get it?!"

Salamander.

The sorcerer in the Derelict shop in the black market also said the lizard was a salamander, one of the creatures related to the Serafim. Not many people knew about this.

"I know that’s a salamander! Give it to me! Let me take a look!" The sorcerer said ecstatically, whether he was pretending just to change the topic or he was truly excited, Cane couldn’t tell, because his eyes shone brightly with genuine interest.

"Give it to him," Cane said to Iris. It was only the tip of her nose and her lips that could be seen, but she must peek through her hoodie to read what he said, because a second later, she reluctantly gave the lizard to the old sorcerer.

The creature was a little bit bigger now and the color of its skin was no longer transparent, but dark red, almost like Iris’ auburn hair.

The sorcerer gasped when Iris placed the lizard on his palm, but the lizard didn’t seem to like him, as it breathed fire and burned his hand, forcing him to drop the creature.

"Argh!’’ The sorcerer took a few steps back, afraid that this little lizard would burn him again, but instead, the little creature simply scurried into Iris’ cloak and hid inside. "How did you get a creature of the Serafim?! This is impossible! Who are you?!"

That was the question that Cane wanted an answer for, too, since he was not the first sorcerer that had pointed this out. The Alpha became even more suspicious and alert of Iris’ origin now.

"No way... this is impossible... but, how can you explain this...?" He muttered to himself, as if he was in his own world, talking to himself.
