The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356: CANE’S ENDEARMENT GESTURE

Before Iris went to the capital city, she followed Cane to the black market as well while Jace would always be left behind to take care of the pack every time the Alpha went away. As such, the time he spent with Iris had always been very limited. They were at most at the point of being courteous with each other, but he had not yet reached the point of trusting her completely.

Unlike Ethan, Jace was still thinking of Iris as a member of the Blue Moon pack and not one of them.

He also always thought Cane treated Iris considerately because he needed her, since he had to get a grip of the Blue Moon pack and the whole magic stone mine. Moreover, she held some of Cane’s secrets and the fact her presence eased Cane’s transformation during the new moon justified his need to take her whenever he went away.

However, what Jace witnessed just now was simply too shocking to be believable.

He kissed her! He kissed the tip of her nose!?

Cane only did such endearment gestures to the people that were dear to him! He did that to his previous mate and his twin siblings! It was something that not many people realized, but of course, as his beta, he knew this much.

And now, he kissed her that way?! Did he even realize it?! Or was this some kind of ruse again? He didn’t do anything casually. Ever since they managed to escape from their slavery, he became a calculative person.

Yet, from the way Jace looked at it, Cane did it very naturally. He probably didn’t even think about it.

"Who is that person?" Cane asked all of a sudden when Jace just stood in his place. He was in daze, his expression complicated.

Jace snapped back to reality and shook his head. "I don’t know, I lost him..." He walked over to approach them. "He suddenly disappeared and I can’t find him, there is no trace whatsoever and his scent also vanished all of a sudden."

"His scent too?" Cane’s expression hardened. He rested his hand on Iris’ waist, as he talked to Jace. His tone became cold.

"Yes. I don’t know how." Jace glanced at Cane’s hand on Iris’ waist. He was not seeing things.

A lot of things happened in the span of less than an hour that Cane was away and on top of the plan they had to work on, he needed to prioritize what he should do next.

"Let Arthur know about this matter and ask someone else to look into this matter. We will proceed with the plan tonight." Cane was well aware, there would be nothing much he could find about this mysterious man, since they didn’t know where to start gathering information about him, but he needed to alert his men about his appearance at least.

"What about the sorcerer?" Jace asked. He finally shifted his attention away from Cane’s hand.

"Haco will arrive tonight."

And with that, the plan was in motion, while Cane was still trying to figure out the mysterious man’s identity, who had shown Iris the ability of this little lizard. He had never heard something like this, but probably it was because Cane was too ignorant about the matters surrounding magic and the Holy Kingdom and the rare creatures of the Serafim.
