The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: THEY WERE LATE

"Where? What place?" Iris didn’t mind going and visiting the pack tomb again. She had expected Cane to go to that place again, but it was a pleasant surprise for Iris that Cane wanted to take her with him. And, he wanted to take her somewhere else after that?

"We will go after we entertain the King and Lady Cyan, probably it will be very late tonight, is that okay with you?" Cane caressed her cheek and smoothened her curls. Her skin and hair felt so soft and he liked the feeling.

"Absolutely," Iris replied, too eager and then cleared her throat to mumble. "Sure." She wouldn’t fall asleep tonight, no matter how tired she was. The excitement that Cane would take her somewhere would keep her awake.

"Now we need to go hunting in the mountains." As much as he didn’t want to get Iris involved, he couldn’t disobey the King’s demand outrightly, though behind that demand, it was Lady Cyan, who was pulling the strings.

That woman knew how to use her status and authority of the King to get what she wanted, but Cane was still trying to figure out what she wanted to do in the mountains.

It was not public knowledge that she was a witch.

Cane explained the situation to Iris, so she could prepare herself. "If you feel something is off, just say you are not feeling well and want to return to the pack house, understand?" Cane was very serious. The mischief in his eyes disappeared.

"Okay," Iris said obediently, nodding her head in understanding. She understood the situation with Lady Cyan and she didn’t wish to add more stress to Cane’s plate by making him worry about her.

"Good, now you need to take a bath." Cane slid his hand down from her face to her neck and was about to help Iris get undressed when she caught his hands.

"I- I will do it myself, you can wait outside." Iris could see how Cane’s eyes slightly darkened. It made the butterflies in her stomach flutter their wings. To know how much your mate desired you was something that every woman wanted.

However, if they kept going like this, Iris didn’t think she would make it to the hunting part before she made an excuse that she was sick.

"Are you sure you don’t need my help?" Cane asked, but he didn’t insist. If even Iris could read the situation, more so Cane.

His ’help’ wouldn’t be anything innocent after all.

"Yes, you can wait outside, I will come out quickly."

Cane nodded, but before he left, he took out the bottles from his pocket and gave one to Iris. It was the bottle with blue liquid in it.

"Drink this." Cane put it in her hand. "This will nourish your body. Grace made some of it, you need to drink this once a day."

Cane was being petty here. He couldn’t reject the King’s demand, but he could make things not as smooth as he wanted. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}
