The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595: DARK THOUGHTS

Iris approached Cane and then sat on his lap, as he handed her a small, blue pocket. She opened it and found a few small balls inside.

"What is this?" Iris asked, picked one small ball and smelled it. It didn’t have any smell, but when she was about to lick it, Cane stopped her.

"It’s poison," Cane said. He took the small ball and put it back inside the blue pocket. "But, it’s not fatal until you mixed it with a certain food."

"Poison?" Iris widened her eyes. "Why did he give me poison?"

However, instead of answering her question, Cane stared at her.

"Cane?" Iris frowned when she received such intense look from him. "What is it?"

"Haco said you ask for it," Cane blurted it out, because that was what the sorcerer told him. "Now, I want to know why do you need poison?"

Cane could see a flicker of a complicated thought in her eyes, as she remembered something.

"Haco told me that you asked him to make a certain poison that couldn’t be detected. He didn’t remember the detail of it, but it stuck in his mind and he only felt the obligation to make it." Cane took the small blue pocket from her hand. "Iris, why do you need poison for?"

The alpha didn’t seem to mind when he learned his mate was a little bit violence with an elaborate poison, but he only wanted to know why she wanted a poison in the first place more so, for whom that poison she intended to give.

Iris lowered her head. "I didn’t mean to ask Haco to make me a poison..." she said in small voice, she didn’t think what she said at that time stuck with the sorcerer. It did make sense now that Haco had been working on this for as long as she remembered, so this was what he did when he fiddled with the herbs...

"Hm?"

"I was... not in the right mind at that time and only blurted it out because I feel so down."

Cane adjusted her position on his lap and pinched her chin, so she could look at him. "Tell me, what is it."

"I..." Iris bit her lip, she looked like she was going to cry. "I swear Cane, I didn’t mean it. I was only rambling at that time because Haco was not himself and I thought he wouldn’t remember what I said. I swear I was not serious with what I said and I only vented out my frustration."

Sometime, when you felt so low and was very frustrated, your mind went so wild and all you wanted was to get it out of your system, talked it out, until you felt better.

However, her thought was so dark at that time and Iris was afraid to talk about it to someone else, therefore, judging Haco condition and how he would forget whatever she said, since he was not really himself, Iris thought it would be fine if she vented it out on him.

She didn’t mean it. She was not serious when she talked about it, she even forgot about it if it was not for Cane’s reminder and how he surprised her with this poison.

"I swear, I didn’t mean it, Cane..." Iris gritted her teeth, feeling very guilty to even have such kind of thought.

"Iris." Cane stopped her rambling by kissing the tip of her nose. "I trust you. Now, tell me what happened?"

Iris was hesitated for a while, because she didn’t think this was something she could talk about, but she was also aware that Cane wouldn’t drop the topic until he got the answer.

"Sometime... recently, I have this dark thought..." Iris gulped down with difficulty when she tried to elaborate her way of thinking when this dark thought came to her mind. "I can’t stop it... it just came to my mind..."

Cane listened to her patiently, as Iris tried to string her words coherently to tell him what was in her mind. She kept saying she didn’t mean every violence thought that kept appearing in her mind at the end of her each sentence. Her words jumbled up because of how nervous she was, while Cane caressed her tensed back to keep her calm.

"... at that time, I felt like I want to kill him." Iris was shaking when she finally admitted it.
