The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401: I WANT YOU TO STAY

Iris was surprised by his gesture, but she didn’t deny how happy she was to be this close to him. She could smell his scent, as if it engulfed her senses and stared at his side profile, while he continued reading seriously. The scar on his face didn’t look as scary as the first time she saw him.

Probably, the scar on his face and also how cold and collected he was had a major say in making people think twice before they tried to approach him. But in reality, it worked to Cane’s benefit as well, as he didn’t want anyone to approach him recklessly.

In the end, drunk by the sight of her mate, Iris fell asleep and Cane could tell the moment she slipped deeper into her slumber as her breathing became even. He then used his right hand to hold her head in place, so she wouldn’t fall when the carriage shook because of the rough road.

Once they arrived at the pack house, he picked her up gently and carried her toward their bedroom right in front of everyone’s eyes.

The sight of it made Jace’s jaw hit the floor.

"What’s with that expression?" Ethan frowned to see Jace gobsmacked. He and some other warriors didn’t find the sight surprising whatsoever, as they had long gotten used to it.

"He carried her."

"She is sleeping, right?"

"He can wake her up."

Ethan stared at Cane’s retreating back, as Iris’ auburn hair spread on his shoulder. "Nah, I don’t think he can wake her up. She is a heavy sleeper."

Because Ethan would always be there whenever they went on a long journey, he knew Iris would often fall asleep, even when she was on horseback, as if she could sleep anywhere she wanted.

"I have told you everything, why are you still surprised?" Ethan patted his shoulder and then left to take care of something, leaving Jace still reeling at the sight.

Not long after, a warrior approached him and told him there was a letter for their alpha from the Celestial Moon pack, precisely Alpha Derick. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"How do you know this is from Alpha Derick?" Jace frowned at the additional information.

"It’s written on the envelope," the warrior replied innocently.

"You can read?" Ethan had told him about it, but it was easy to brush it off when it was the Gamma who told him the story, since he knew how he usually was.

"I can." The warrior looked so proud of himself when he admitted that. He lifted his chin with his eyes lit up.

Jace raised the envelope to his face and told him to read it and he did. After that, he found another report for him to read, which he did, though some words were difficult for him, he could still understand the gist of it.
