The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (33)

Despite how nonchalant Cane was, there was no way he didn’t know how Ethan’s feeling toward Aliana, it was crystal clear for anyone to see.

And for the reason why Iris took Ethan inside the bedroom, it was very easy to guess, she must want the gamma to feel the movement of the baby, since she was very excited to have this experience. After her little bump, the movement of the baby must have solidified her status as a new mother, to really feel the new life inside of you grew was a happiness that one couldn’t describe into words.

Even though Cane was not really thrilled with the image of his mate was being touched by another man, but it was only his possessiveness that was talking, it was completely absurd to think the two of them would step out of the line.

Ethan was a brother figure that Iris didn’t have and it was safe to say the gamma saw her the same. It was also Ethan, who treated Iris nicely in the early day she became the luna of the pack.

"I hope there will be no misunderstanding after this and it will be helpful if you are not spreading such trashy rumor."

"I will not do that!" Laluna answered quickly.

Cane nodded. "I believe you can handle the servants of yours, because if there is a negative rumor in the future about my mate and my gamma, I will not take it lightly. Any defamation to the luna will be punished with death sentence, I am sure you are familiar with that law."

This must be the first time for Cane to talk in long sentence with Laluna, but the more he talked, the more scarry he became and once the alpha left, Laluna breathed greedily. She didn’t realize she had been holding back her breath.

Cane went straight to the bedroom and find Iris was curling her body on the bed, crying. Carefully, he approached her, but when she felt the bed dipped because of his weight, Iris turned around and threw herself at him the moment she laid her eyes on him.

Cane wrapped his arms around her body and eased her to sit on his lap, as she cradled him and buried her face against the crook of his shoulder, hugging his neck tightly.

"Cane... they died... Asher and Reed died..." Iris cried her heart out. She was not particularly close with the two of them, but they spent time together a lot ever since they left from the Howling Wolf pack and they became her personal warriors.

They couldn’t be said in a good term, but Iris could feel it when they started to warm up with her and slowly accepted her, though they had not yet apologized to her when they were alive, but they did apologize when their spirit came to her.

They apologized for the way they treated her and how they wished they could have a longer time to protect her and meet the baby, unfortunately, they were not blessed with the opportunity...

"Cane, I don’t want them to die... I don’t want them to die... can’t you stop the battle? So, no one will die?" Iris cried her heart out, her heart shattered to know very well this wouldn’t be the last for her to lose people she cared, someone close to her.

And now, Aliana, Joel, Haco and Celia were in danger too, if they didn’t find them in time.

Meanwhile, Cane could only offer some comfort to her, as he caressed her back gently and tried to ease her pain.

He wanted this to end too, he had lost so many people, but the number would only increase by time, since the battle just started.

===========================

"You are going to kill me..." Lou curled himself on the muddy ground, panting heavily. This time, he didn’t care about his red cloak and how he dirtied himself, he was barely able to lift his finger. He must be crazy to agree with the gamma to create this portal.

He just recovered, but now his mana had depleted again.

However, Ethan couldn’t care less with him, as he started to search for Aliana’s location. Iris said, Aliana and the other were buried under the rubbles of heavy rocks, but there was no exact location about where they were right now and from what Ethan learned, Aliana was injured badly after she fought two royal warriors.

"Hey! Don’t leave me!" Lou growled, he watched Ethan disappeared from his sight. He couldn’t believe he actually helped this ungrateful shifter, who left him alone in this dark place... where he was? A dessert? The sky was so dark like usual and droplet of black rain cascaded down. "Huft! I really should have listened to Sabian for not getting myself involved with the alpha from the Howling Wolf pack."

However, it was too late for Lou to regret that, more so, he couldn’t ignore the temptation to be close with his mate.

"Will I die here? Those people from the Howling Wolf pack really toyed with me!" Lou grumbled. He turned his body and faced the gloomy sky and let the rain washed his body, until he heard a few steps came closer to him.

"Are you the merchant?" One of them asked.

"I think he is the man that gamma Ethan mentioned, he is wearing the red cloak," the other replied.
