The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441: HER BODY FELT SO HOT

In a split second, the atmosphere turned cold and tension filled the air. Jace immediately realized how inappropriate it might have sounded, though he knew Ethan didn’t mean it in the literal sense.

On the other hand, Ethan was also quick to realize his slip of tongue, as he looked at Cane, mortified. "No! No! No! I didn’t mean it that way!" He waved his hands vigorously to emphasize what he said. "I didn’t mean it in a literal sense! I mean it figuratively! I will not do that, it’s only in my mind!"

Cane’s eyes dimmed even more. "So, in your mind, you want to kiss my mate?"

"No! No! No!" Ethan was terrified, because he knew it sounded even worse now. "No, I will not dare!" He felt like he was going to cry now. Why couldn’t he think first before running his mouth?!

Meanwhile, Jace really wanted to kick his ass, regardless of whatever came out of his mouth, it only sounded like he was digging his own grave deeper.

"Cane, you know that’s not what he meant..." Jace interrupted and elbowed Ethan to stop himself from blabbering more nonsense. "We are here to inform you that our people have spotted the King’s entourage and he will arrive within an hour."

"Prepare everything," Cane said before slamming the door shut. It was a typical order that he would give them.

Outside of the door, Jace glared at Ethan. "Are you trying to get yourself killed or what?"

The Gamma grimaced and mumbled something under his breath, but then when he lifted his head back, he looked cheerful again. "At least, we got him back! Everything will be fine!" He clapped his hands happily, but then he sighed in depression when he remembered what happened to Will.

He would talk with Cane about him when he had time, also about Aria’s missing dead body and so many other things. Jace also had a lot of things to report to the Alpha.

But, right now, they needed to focus on the arrival of the King.

On the other hand, Cane went inside the room again and found Iris was having trouble taming her hair. He went to her and helped her as usual.

He did that very naturally, as if it was his second nature to tame her curly auburn hair, while she let him do that for her. His touch was gentle, yet firm.

"The King will arrive in an hour," Cane said, as he braided her hair and styled it.

"Okay," Iris replied in a small voice.

There were a lot of things she wanted to ask and there were many issues that were long overdue for them to discuss, but now was not the right time to talk about any of that, since they had another matter to take care of.

They didn’t even have time to talk about the problem with the lycan or how Cane could get his consciousness back. And, also about last night...

The tips of Iris’ ears turned red and her face flushed crimson in no time. Seeing her like that, Cane knew what was in her mind and this soft smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He liked it when he was able to read her easily.

"Done," Cane said. He started a small braid at the front of her head and braided her hair around like a bandana, while he pulled up the rest of her hair into a low ponytail and used the braided hair to cover the tie. It was simple, but Iris liked it.

"Thank you," Iris said, as she lowered her head and murmured. "I- I will change my dress."

Iris stood up to walk away from Cane, but all of a sudden, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, her back flush with his sturdy chest before he buried his nose in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily.

Cane hugged her from behind and Iris could see their reflection in the mirror. She saw how big the Alpha was. His body could literally swallow hers, as he wrapped his muscled arms around her chest and waist.

"Cane?" Iris called him softly. She was afraid she lost him again, since Cane was not usually like this. She could feel Cane saying something against her shoulder, but she didn’t have any idea what he was talking about. "Cane, are you saying something? I can’t get it..." Iris caressed his tensed arm around her chest lightly and this made his body stiffen. "Cane, are you okay?"
