The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500: HIS FEELING

It was so insane when Cane realized how mortified he was to find himself waking up alone and not being able to find Iris anywhere. Her scent around the room and on the pillows had long faded, implying she left for quite some time.

The first thing that came to his mind was; Rei. The man had taken her away and he had no idea whatsoever where to find her. It also didn’t help when her words kept repeating in his mind from when she said this was not her home, that she wanted to leave...

His head was a mess until he found out she had been organizing a funeral with Amee and was currently with Ethan to talk with Koda. Cane relaxed a little bit when he learned about that and completely calmed down only when he had her back in his arms.

It was so insane for something like this to actually happen to him. His feelings for her were like a broken dam and the lycan was responsible for opening the gates to his emotions that he had suppressed for a long time.

A lot of things happened in such a short time and Cane was unable to control his feelings. He was overwhelmed with the thoughts he could lose Iris like the way he lost his destined mate if he was being reckless now that they were in the throes of power struggle.

Not only from the palace, but also the threats that this newly found realization, that she was somehow connected to the first Serafim, would bring then. The Holy Kingdom would be on the list of troubles if he couldn’t handle this situation well.

There was a part of Cane that regretted getting the Holy Kingdom involved in this matter. Only if he had known sooner...

"Don’t do that again..." Cane nibbled on her lips and caressed her back. He felt like he would never get enough of her. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Thankfully, Cane stopped himself just in time before Iris went completely out of breath. Since she felt the room spin, she had put her weight completely on him.

"Are you okay?" Cane asked, he brushed his thumb on her swollen lips. He had kissed her too hard and now he could see the result of it. "Does it hurt?"

"Yes," Iris said softly. She pouted her lips and stared at him sheepishly.

"Sorry." This time Cane leaned over to lick her lips instead before he ran his thumb over her cheekbones, tracing her jawline to her earlobe, which made her squirm and this made him smile.

"Cane, don’t touch my ears," Iris protested and pushed him away. She pushed his bad hands away from her ear.

"They are cute, I can’t help it."

Iris blinked her eyes when she heard that. It didn’t sound like something Cane would say. She was sure there were no changes to when Cane dealt with his opponents. He was callous and calculative like usual, but it was definitely not the same when there were only the two of them.

He became a little bit more... affectionate? If she could say... Cane became even more open with his feelings.

"What is it?" Cane frowned because Iris kept staring at him with that silly look on her face without saying anything.

"Cane, are you sure, Lu doesn’t affect you?" Iris thought his openness was due to the fact that Lu could take over his consciousness and somehow it rubbed off on him.

"Don’t talk about him," Cane said sternly. He looked like he was going to kill someone when Iris pulled Lu into the conversation. "He will never come out again."

"But, we will need his knowledge to know more about the first Serafim," Iris mumbled to herself, but obviously Cane could hear that clearly. "Cane!" Iris screamed when she felt her body being lifted.

Cane sat her down on the table and put his arms on either side of her body, trapping her in. His face was so close and Iris could see his dark eyes looking a few shades darker if that even possible.

Being so close, Iris could see the scar on his face and felt her heart ache so badly, she couldn’t imagine enduring pain from such a scar. Shifters were able to heal themselves, therefore, if a wound left a scar, it must have been so bad.

"He will never come out again, unless it’s a new moon, even so you will not be there with me, understood?" Cane said sternly and Iris nodded.

But a second later, Iris started laughing. Her voice was so clear and melodic in Cane’s ears, though it didn’t stop him from frowning.

"What is it?"

"Are you mad because I cuddled you to sleep?"

"You were with him, not me."

"But, it’s you, not any other man, right?"

"No."
