The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 676

Chapter 676: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (18)

Ethan was amazed by how shameless the merchant could be. He didn’t even bother to hide it.

"You know that’s not appropriate for you to act like this?" Ethan narrowed his eyes, he had been weighing down his option to tell Iris about this or not, since the only person, who could purify the black magic was only her. The Serafim was there too, but Ethan didn’t think even the Serafim could do it as quick and as effective as Iris.

The power that Iris held was very strong, even though she had not yet really noticed it.

"Like what? I am helping you, do I not?" Lou raised his brows, he fished out three magic stones from his pocket, now he was in the black market, he could get as many as magic stone he needed and didn’t need to act like a beggar when he asked for magic stone from Cane.

"Why do you very obsess with Iris?" Ethan narrowed his eyes, he watched how the portal was created and after watching this a few times, he was still in awe by how the magic worked. "You can get yourself killed one day."

"I think you are going to get killed first by your alpha for what you are doing right now." Lou rolled his eyes dramatically. His veins bulged when he tried to stabilize the portal. He was not lying when he said he was tired and had no more energy. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"I am not going to die alone." Ethan glanced at Lou, indicating if he was going to get killed by Cane, he would make sure, Lou came with him as well, since he was the one, who opened the portal.

Lou scoffed, but he said nothing when he concentrated to create the portal.

Ethan entered the portal first and found Iris was sleeping, she was alone, while Aliana was nowhere to be seen. He was a little bit disappointed because he couldn’t see her.

"I am sorry, I am sorry..." Ethan muttered, as he marched toward the bed and shook Iris’s body to wake her up. "Iris, wake up. Wake up, please..." he called her name a few times hastily, until she opened her eyes sleepily.

"Ethan?" Iris rubbed her face, but then she looked around her and only found Lou, who was grinning at her. "Where is Cane?" Her first instinct was to ask for her mate.

"Well, I shouldn’t be offended, but don’t you want to ask about me? We have not yet met for almost a month." Ethan was a little bit sullen. He knew Cane visited Iris a few times with the help of Lou.

Iris blinked her eyes and smiled innocently. "You look very great, handsome as always."

"Don’t flatter me, pregnant lady," Ethan chuckled, but his expression turned serious. "Now get up, you need to come with me, Cane needs your help."

The smile on Iris’s face fell when she heard that. "What happened with him?"

"Don’t worry, he got a little scratch, that’s all." Ethan scratched the back of his head, which made Iris didn’t believe him even more. "This is something that you can do by only a single touch, okay. You don’t need to worry."

Iris didn’t want to listen to him anymore, as she got off from the bed and went straight to the portal that Lou created. Somehow, the merchant was very quiet. He didn’t tease her or being his creepy self.

Ethan immediately followed her inside and Lou closed the portal.

Once Iris stepped in, it took her a while to realize where she was. It was the Rosantine guild in the Black Market.

"Over here, Iris," Ethan said, as he opened the door to Cane’s bedroom. Iris didn’t waste time when she entered the room and found Cane was laying on the bed, his chest was bandaged tightly. He was sleeping, but when she came closer, he immediately opened his eyes, alerted by her scent.

"What is this? What are you doing here?" Cane asked, his eyes fell on Ethan and the gamma stopped a few steps away from the bed, afraid the alpha would pounce on him. He seemed going to do that, if it was not for Iris, who told him to lay down.

"Let me check on you!" Iris said sternly, she pushed Cane back to the bed and because of his injury, he didn’t have the strength to go against her wish, more so, Cane wouldn’t do anything that could upset Iris even more right now. "Lay down!"

Ethan raised his brows when he watched how the alpha listened to what Iris said and let her mate to check on him.

"You don’t need to do this..."

"Be quiet!" Iris said sharply. She could feel the black magic from his wound. This was almost like what happened to Joel. Their wounds couldn’t heal because the dark magic that lingered around it.

Cane stopped complaining and let Iris did whatever with him, while Ethan grinned. He made the right decision to call Iris over, but he hoped, he could be saved from the alpha’s wrath once Iris returned, because he was sure, Cane wouldn’t let it go easily. He was someone, who was holding a grudge really well.

On the other hand, the alpha stared at his mate’s face, while she tried to purify the black magic from his wound. He stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek, smoothened her unkempt hair, from the look of it, it seemed, she just woke up, Cane was familiar with how she looked like when she just woke up.

"Cane!" Iris glared at him when he touched her earlobe and swatted his hand. "Stay still."

This time, Cane touched her stomach and smiled, which made Iris smiled too, though she was trying to concentrate on his wound.

Seeing this interaction, Ethan felt like he was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. He mentally kicked himself for not getting his ass out of there sooner.

"I will come back with the healer." Ethan scurried away from the room, only to find Lou was sitting on the corridor with his head hung low. "What are you doing there? Sleeping?"

Ethan came closer to the merchant and saw blood dripped from his nose.
