The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: A DAUGHTER LIKE YOU

Iris woke up when she felt the carriage move. Her body was so weak, she was not sure how long they had done it and was amazed she could last that long.

"Sleep again," Cane said, as he pressed her head into his chest, caressing her hair, while he was reading some reports.

"Are we leaving?" Iris snuggled closer. She felt sad for leaving these people behind, but Cane was determined to not make this pack a part of his territory, since there was nothing that could benefit them in the long run.

"Yes." Iris glanced at the bright sky out there through the window. She blinked her eyes and felt so sore, but pleased at the same time.

"Cane."

"Hm."

"Did you hear the conversation between me and Lu?" Iris asked carefully, she wanted to know his opinion about the information that Lu told her about Rei.

she immediately heard a low growl vibrate in his chest, which made Iris curl her body and nuzzle his neck. "I did, but I don’t want to talk about it." He didn’t want to talk about another man when he was having some peaceful time with her. Why would she bring another man up as a topic of discussion?

"Okay," Iris said softly. She wanted to point out that Cane had this similarity with Lu regarding this matter, but then she knew better than to say it out loud, just in case she would upset him again.

With that, they slipped into a comfortable silence, but Iris didn’t want to sleep. She still had enough strength to stay awake, which was a great progress for her health, since she used to be sick very often and usually, she would pass out for days if something like last night and this morning happened.

"Cane."

"Hm."

"Grace said she is running out of water magic stones, so the concoctions could only last for around two months." Grace had asked her to talk about this with the Alpha, but only now she got the chance.

"Okay."

"What are you going to do?" Iris lifted her head, curious. Now that the King was out of the picture, he didn’t need to fulfill the agreement of having a child, but there was no alpha without an heir and it would cause another problem for the pack members someday if Cane didn’t have any child, especially when they didn’t know about his condition.

The blame would be put on Iris. Because if women couldn’t get pregnant, it must be their fault. The error must be in them.

More importantly, what did Cane feel about it? He should know what the future looks like. The King had given him a due date to sire an heir, but the real due date came from the pack members.

"We can ask Lou to give us some of the water magic stones," Iris suggested, but then she fell into a deep contemplation. "But, the Black Market is in Alpha Gallot’s territory and he is currently siding with the royals and now Alan is the King and with the rumor about Lou being one of your people circulating around, I don’t think we can enter the Black Market easily."

Iris tried to think of a way to get the water magic stones, but she couldn’t, thus the last resort was to ask Cane what was in his mind. He could always surprise her with the brilliant way he could think and Iris loved it the most about him.

"What do you think, Cane?" Iris asked, she squirmed her body to get into a more comfortable position, while Cane wrapped his arms around her waist protectively. "Do you think we need to sneak into the Black Market like last time? But, Alpha Gallot caught us..."

For a moment, Cane didn’t say anything, he had put down the reports and gave Iris his full attention, staring at her beautiful blue eyes, they looked so lively and full of curiosity. Her lips were swollen, but Cane didn’t regret it at all. He liked to see traces of himself on her. He liked it when her scent got mixed with his own. He liked how her heart was so full of kindness.

Even though he didn’t agree with the way she disagreed with him, he liked her boldness, despite it leaving him annoyed and giving him a headache.

"Cane?" Iris called his name because he kept staring at her without saying anything. Why was he acting like that? Sometimes, Iris really wanted to know what was going on in that pretty head of his.

She wanted to understand the way his mind worked and how he saw her. What he thought of her...

"Cane?"
