The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: WHERE IS THAT WOMAN?

Sofia bit her lower lip, as she took a step closer toward the bathtub. "Al- alpha... do you want me to help you take a bath?"

"If you step within my arm’s reach, I will not hesitate to snap your neck," Cane said, he didn’t raise his voice at all, but Sofia felt her heart stop beating for a second, as his tone dripped with harsh warning.

There was something in the way Cane said those words that made Sofia believe Cane would do exactly what he said without a doubt.

Mortified, she took a step back, putting her arms around her stomach out of instinct, as she feared him. This was not the man she remembered. The Alpha that night was very attentive and considerate toward her.

The man that night was not this cold.

"Alpha, I am carrying your child..." Sofia sobbed, tears started rolling down her cheeks again. Her eyes were very swollen, as if she spent the last few hours doing nothing, but crying.

Great. Cane had been trying to take his mind off of the thoughts of his mate, so he could simmer down, but right now, he was completely turned off.

He was not sure whether he should be glad or annoyed at this point.

"I will see you later after the party ends, make sure you are still awake." Cane then grabbed the towel and stood up.

His movements were so fast, until Sofia couldn’t even catch a glimpse of his lower body before he covered it and stepped out of the bathtub. Water dripped down to the floor, as he walked toward his and Iris’ bedroom, half naked.

Sofia was too shocked to process what Cane just said, so she stood there, until the Alpha disappeared behind the door, leaving his masculine scent behind.

He wanted to see me? He wanted me to wait for him?

Sofia stopped crying and there was this sweet smile on her lips, as her heart fluttered. "See? Your father wants to see us. You don’t need to worry, baby, your father cares for you, everything will be fine and this will be our pack. We will live here happily."

Sofia was clueless what was waiting for her later that night.

Meanwhile, Cane returned to his bedroom with an expression so dark it startled Iris. She was wearing a black dress with golden thread work, the color of this pack, because Cane would wear the same colors as well. After all, this was a formal meeting with the King.

"What happened?" Iris asked, she approached Cane and stopped herself before she was too close to him, and blushed at the sight of his naked chest.

This was not the first time for her to see him half naked like this, but she couldn’t stop herself from thinking about last night. Was that Cane? Or actually Lu?

She wished it was not Lu, but then if it was Cane... Iris couldn’t stop blushing. She lowered her head and saw Cane close the distance between them. He moved fast, leaving a trail of water behind him and pinched her chin with both of his fingers, tilting her head to look at himself.

"Why are you blushing?" Cane asked. He stared deep into her eyes. He was tempted to kiss her slightly parted lips and suck her tongue, but then there would be no end to that and he had taken the pain to be turned off by Sofia. He shouldn’t re-start the fire, lest he get burned.

Cane was not sure why, but his desire for her was almost alarming. This kind of lust only transpired when he was seduced or consumed any floence powder, but then he was sure the damned lycan didn’t drink anything like that and Iris didn’t even try to seduce him.

"I am not," Iris denied the accusation, but it only turned her face even redder.

Cane’s lips tugged upward into a beautiful smile. He thought, after what happened and everything she had gone through, he would lose this side of her. He didn’t know how much he liked her bashful side until he thought he would never see it again.

"What? What are you smiling at? I am not blushing!"

Probably because Iris had been very stern with Lu and always talked to him firmly, since the lycan frustrated her greatly, she looked a little bit feisty right now when she talked to Cane.

However, Cane didn’t mind it, he leaned over and kissed her lips. He cupped her face between his palms, as he caressed her ears and pinched her earlobes.
