The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377: A TASTE OF FRUSTRATION

Cane could concoct a grand plan that could turn this entire continent upside down and render the King useless with the power in his hand, but he couldn’t figure out what was the cause of Iris’ anger, since none of the logical things that he could think of was enough to tick her off.

Gill had died and it didn’t look like she was dealing with her trauma right now, because Cane could feel the anger was directed at himself. What had he done so wrong to incur her wrath?

Was it the recent news of the baby? Iris knew very well the baby was not his. It was Redmond’s.

"Talk to me, why are you angry?" Cane asked her calmly, but his grip was firm, as Iris wouldn’t stop trying to get away from him. If it had been any other day, he would have let her go to cool off on her own, but the Alpha was being a little bit selfish right now. He didn’t want to wait as he demanded an answer from her there and then, an explanation about what bothered her.

Iris glared at him, because she couldn’t make him loosen his grip and Cane held her dagger look. He didn’t budge.

"Why are you angry?" Cane asked the same question again, but this time, Iris bit his wrist in her attempt to shake him off. It was clear she didn’t want to speak now, yet Cane wanted the opposite.

He didn’t like their current tempo. He was not comfortable with what was happening between them.

This could be considered as their first real fight, where neither of them wanted to back down, being beyond stubborn.

The Alpha let his mate bite him as she liked, after all, this was not the first time she bit him, though he would prefer the first time...

Cane stared at her curly, auburn hair, which was slightly messy. Several strands of hair came out of her braids. Though he could feel her teeth sinking deeper into his flesh, he didn’t flinch and actually caressed her head instead, which made Iris lift her head and swat his hand away.

"Don’t touch me!" Iris screamed in anger. Her emotions were all over the place. She felt like she no longer remembered what she was angry about. She was drowning in a mixture of fear, anger, frustration, panic, cluelessness and everything else...

It was so hard for her to communicate her feelings, forming the words while being angry was way easier.

"Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!" Iris snapped, she balled her fists and started to hit Cane. She hit his arms and chest, but he didn’t budge, nor did he let her go, instead, his eyes became sharper and his jaw hardened to see Iris lost it.

Before his eyes, he could see how Iris became frantic and confused.

When Cane didn’t show any reaction to her hitting him, she kicked him instead. She tried to kick his leg so hard, but she forgot, the man before her had gone through so much worse than this, he was built differently...
