The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569: I WILL BE OKAY

Cane entered the bedroom, which he occupied with Iris after he retrieved his bloody cloak from the carriage. He put the cloak down on the table and approached the bed, where Iris was sleeping soundly.

Cane didn’t say anything when he heard what Aliana said. He stared at Iris’ sleeping face. There was a crease between her brows, it seemed, his actions really bothered her.

"Leave the cloak, Aliana," Cane said sternly when he saw from the corner of his eyes Aliana was about to take the cloak away because she saw the bloodstains on it.

"But, this is dirty and I..."

"Leave it be."

Aliana didn’t argue about it anymore and simply left the bedroom.

"Iris," Cane called her name softly, once Aliana had left him alone with his mate.

He didn’t mean to make things difficult for her, but he was not in the right mind. There were so many things he needed to think through and Iris’ presence simply hindered him from seeing things objectively.

For example, he made a sudden decision to stay for three more days here.

They should have left this pack and not looked back, but the fact they were still here meant what Iris said earlier affected him deeper than he wanted. Seeing her so upset bothered him.

It might be a bad decision to take, but to know Iris would be glad to hear they were going to stay, was enough for him. This was why he couldn’t care too deeply... it affected his decisions and right now, he needed to focus.

"Don’t dislike me, Iris." Cane smoothened the crease between her brows. "I have warned you before."

Cane had indeed warned her that they would face a situation like this, where she would dislike his decisions, but to hear it out loud from her, affected him more than he expected.

The Alpha leaned over and pressed his lips against hers gently, he lingered for a while before he stood up, took the bloody cloak and left the room. Eron, Kian and Asher were right outside.

"Call Aliana back and tell her to sleep inside," Cane ordered one of them. He was not going to sleep tonight, because there was another important matter that he had to take care of and it couldn’t be delayed anymore.

This was one of the reasons why his mood was so bleak. Cane looked even more fearsome right now, as if his whole figure was shrouded in dark clouds. He looked so dominant and scary. None of them dared to make even a small mistake in his presence whenever he was like this.

Not even the Gamma...

"Cane, Haco is sleeping. I think you need to let him rest after what happened this afternoon," The Gamma said when he was told to call Haco, but he immediately changed his tune once he saw the look on Cane’s face. "Right away. I will drag him out of the bed if I have to."

With that, Ethan immediately rushed to get the sorcerer without trying to help Haco again. He needed to help himself first, right?

Iris had challenged the Alpha’s order this afternoon in front of so many eyes and Ethan wouldn’t be so lucky to be left unscathed like the Luna did...

It took a while for Ethan to bring Haco to Cane, as the Alpha waited in the garden, under the pale moonlight. He was sitting on a bench with his eyes closed and his arms folded in front of his chest.

"You can leave."
