The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: HOWLING IN THE DISTANCE (3)

"I really don’t like doing this." Ethan looked morose when he had to put chains on Cane, especially when the chains were made of silver.

He refused to use gloves when he had to touch those silver chains, no matter what Cane said, he just didn’t want to do it.

His hands would heal in a few hours if they got burned in the process, but to think that Cane would be chained to the wall for the rest of the night with those silver chains that hurt his limbs, he hated that so much more.

’At least, this is what I can do for you.’ That was Ethan’s answer, though by hurting himself, he actually didn’t help anyone. In his twisted mind, he wanted to feel the pain, at least.

"I will ask Jace to do this next time," Cane said simply. He didn’t even flinch when the silver ate at his skin, leaving burn marks where it touched.

Ethan groaned in frustration. "That’s not what I mean," he grumbled even more. "You know that’s not what I meant."

Cane didn’t heed to his complaints and just stared at the dark basement of this rickety hut. He had been here countless times during his slavery days, he thought once they were free, he could burn down this place for good, but who would have thought that he would need this place more than those horrendous days?

Such an irony...

"Check again," Cane said when Ethan was done putting those painful silver chains around his limbs to bind him to the wall, so he wouldn’t be able to move as his strength wouldn’t be strong enough to break them down.

Now was a critical moment, as the five alphas and the king were in the pack house. If they knew about this... all of their sacrifices would go in vain and those dark days would be presented back to them.

"This is already secure." But, Ethan did what he was told and checked it again.

"Now leave," Cane said unfeelingly.

"I can stay, I think you will get bored if you have to be left alone in this boring place." That was nonsense, since Cane wouldn’t remember anything, but pain when he was in this phase.

"Leave, Ethan."

Ethan didn’t move. He looked so stubborn.

"It is hard enough for me to go through this, I don’t need a spectator to watch me being miserable. Now, leave."

Ethan knew what Cane meant, it hurt his pride and ego if someone had to witness when he was being helpless, while people tended to think highly of him.

Gerald and Mason had made sure Cane went through those horrible feelings of being helpless and let his people witness that, thus at this moment, it would help him more if Ethan just left him alone.
