The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540: A RAW MOMENT AND NEW LIGHT

Cane had been looking for Iris, but he couldn’t find her in the pack house, it seemed she didn’t return to the pack house after her visit to the dungeon.

It bothered him because of the death of Mason. Not like he cared about that piece of crap, but the fact that Iris was there and he met his untimely death raised several questions in his head.

However, he couldn’t find his mate anywhere. Thinking Iris might be in the orphanage to visit Hanna and Haco again, Cane immediately went there.

But, on his way out to the orphanage, the Alpha met with Grace and Kian, only then he knew Iris went to the warrior quarters to meet with Joel.

Grace herself just returned from the dungeon after checking on Mason’s body. His death had not yet been made known, thus Cane would talk with the healer in private.

"There is no way Joel can feel his legs..." Grace muttered under her breath when she heard Kian’s explanation about the reason why she was being called over. It was not that she was pessimistic about his recovery, but she was sure there was nothing that could be done to make the poor young warrior walk again.

If there was still hope, Grace would have been the first one to jump at the opportunity to heal him, since it was so devastating to see how life left Joel’s eyes slowly.

"I am sure, I am sure, Zephyr clawed his calf and he was screaming in pain!" Kian told Grace enthusiastically. "Do you think there is hope for him to be able to walk again?"

Grace didn’t answer that question immediately. "I need to check on him first before I can say anything."

The three of them hastened their pace.

Cane listened to what Kian said and said nothing. He knew Iris just discovered her power, so did he, though the lycan was still reluctant to give up the control, unless they were in a dangerous situation, where Iris was being harmed.

Because right now, every time Cane was about to practice, he could feel how the lycan gave him a hard time.

Soon after, they arrived in Joel’s bedroom but the other warriors were waiting outside, leaving Eron still inside to explain the situation.

"Cane!" Iris immediately stood up and hugged her mate, she had been crying because she was very nervous dreading if she had done the right thing or she made things worse instead, somehow, she couldn’t stop thinking the worst thing that possibly could happen to Joel.

Iris buried her face in his chest and she felt a little bit better in his arms. Everything would be alright. And her mind slightly calmed down when Cane kissed her head, while caressing her back.

Meanwhile, Grace checked on Joel’s legs and Eron gave a rundown on what had transpired and how Iris produced the lights. Joel also helped with the details, as he looked so nervous, waiting for what Grace would say.

However, as if they had a deal before this, there was this tacit understanding between them, where they left and forgot the details about how their luna touched Joel’s legs. The other six warriors, who poked their heads inside from behind the door to see the situation inside also didn’t say anything about that fact, as if this was something they had agreed upon beforehand.

It was not good to tell such a thing to their alpha, especially after they saw how obsessed the Alpha could get with his mate. More so, they didn’t want to get punished again for letting something like that happen.

"You look so pale." Cane frowned when he saw Iris’ face, he wiped her tears while still holding her. He listened to what Eron said and was aware of the importance of this moment for Joel, but he had never failed to pay more attention to his mate.

"I am fine..." Iris sniffled, she turned her head and stared at Joel and Grace, while Cane fixed his eyes on her.

The Alpha didn’t say anything, but it didn’t mean he would let it slide. He caressed her cheek and felt how cold her skin was, this didn’t make him happy at all.

"So, how is it?" Joel asked Grace carefully. He held his breath. His heart was beating in his throat, waiting to hear what she was going to say. It was so nerve wrecking and he felt so overwhelmed with a lot of emotions raking his body.

Grace frowned and then casted her own light, which had healing quality, she faced her palms toward Joel’s legs without touching them. "Try to move your legs," Grace instructed and all of them didn’t dare to breathe, as their focus was on Joel.

The young warrior gritted his teeth and tried his best to move his legs. His brows creased deeply and his body was trembling, yet there was nothing.
