The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250: THE PEACE THAT HE CRAVED

Cane’s scattered mind couldn’t stand the sight of Nala, he didn’t even remember her existence and all he wanted to do was to rest next to his mate.

"Have you eaten?" Nala asked with concern in her beautiful eyes.

But, her sweet voice rubbed Cane in the wrong way, especially when she made an attempt to touch him, seeing how unwell he was.

"Are you okay?"

"Touch me and I am going to kill you," Cane warned her darkly.

That warning managed to stop Nala in her tracks, as her hand howered midair. She stopped herself, feeling scared stiff to notice malice in Cane’s voice, as if he was going to keep his promise if she really touched him. She immediately retracted her hand.

The Alpha didn’t even raise his voice when he said that, but he didn’t need to, because his intention was so clear, Nala could see that right in his eyes, which forced her to lower her gaze, afraid to look at him directly.

Cane felt like he was only a step away from going crazy with all the troubles that surrounded him and this unpredictable event with the monster attack, though he could gain something from it, still, it made him stray from his original plan, especially with the problem with Aderan and Will, not to mention Ethan and this mysterious dark wisp.

"I am just worried about you," Nala said in a timid voice, but Cane simply walked past her and didn’t even bother to spare her a glance, as she watched his retreating back.

She heard what Cane had done today to save Princess Laluna, as the Princess gushed to her how the Alpha protected her so well, she even said something along the lines; I really wish Vemion is like him.

Hearing that only made Nala become even more curious about this alpha. She had been thinking about him and how well he treated his mate during the new year dinner. The fact that he only had one mistress, Aria, and now didn’t even take one after he lost her, was something that was not usual for a highborn shifter.

Yet, Nala didn’t have any clue how to get close to him when he was being this difficult. If it was not beauty and sex or even her family background, then what actually could entice him?

Meanwhile, Cane forgot about her completely once she was out of his sight. He felt his head throb painfully, he wished for a good night rest. Some peaceful sleep that could allow him to escape reality for a little while, a sleep that was free from nightmares.

He didn’t wish for any good dreams, but at least, he wanted to be spared from the agony of reliving a nightmare.

Once he was inside the bedroom, he could smell Iris’ sweet scent and this calmed him down a bit. He closed his eyes and breathed evenly.

There was this doubt in his mind that the attachment he had for Iris came from the lycan. Somehow, this cursed soul was spellbound to her.

A while later, Cane took off his cloak and changed his clothes, before he joined Iris on the bed. She was sleeping soundly with her back facing him.
