The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 143
143 SHE COULD LEAN AGAINST HIM
Iris was startled when Alan took her away from Redmond’s side all of sudden and told his man to surround the alpha, Will and Redmond, so they couldn’t do anything to help her.
No matter how much she was struggling to get away from his grip, she couldn’t free herself, instead, his grip became tighter and she felt like he was going to crush her bones.
How despicable this man!
Right at that time, Iris remembered about the little lizard and opened her pouch a little bit, just enough for its little head to poke out of the pouch around her waist and shot fire on his hand. She didn’t know how, but somehow, she knew that she could make this little creature did what she wanted
it to do.
It felt so natural, just like breathing.
“AH! What was that?!” Alan immediately let go of her hand, but when he raised his hand to take a look of the pain, the burning was already healed.
Actually, that kind of fire wouldn’t harm him, but Alan didn’t expect to feel the burning sensation, thus he became hysterical. He had a tendency to be a little bit dramatic from how Iris saw it.
Thankfully, because all of their attention was on Cane and the other, no one saw how Iris’s little lizard had taken care of her offender.
Once he freed her hand, Iris immediately rushed toward Redmond and stood behind him, while Alan was still wailing like a little boy.
“What had you done? What was that?!” He looked angry because he lost his grip on Iris. Lou refused to give him Asturi stem, no matter how much he offered to pay. He wanted that girl. Why would he want that deaf girl?
“What happened my prince?” Corry immediately went to his side. He was confused, but he couldn’t see any injuries.
“She burned me!” Alan pointed his accusatory finger at Iris, as he wailed agitatedly. He must have never been hurt before to make such a fuss for such pain.
“I didn’t do anything” Iris said, she opened both of her palms to show him that she didn’t hold anything that could burn him. Her big, blue eyes looked at him innocently.
That was right, it was not her, who had done it, it was her little lizard, so she didn’t lie.
Alan and Corry didn’t have any idea how she could burn him, but of course, the three men around Iris knew what was going on. They sneered in their heart.
“If you don’t have anything to do, get lost!” Cane was furious because Alan’s man was still blocking his way, he shoved the man aside, which caused him tumbled on the floor. He used so much strength when he did that and the powerful aura that surrounded him was unmatched, even compared to the crown prince.
“Alpha Cane, we can talk about this peacefully, you don’t need to be so angry, you know how Alan is. I hope you don’t take this matter seriously.” Corry then bravely added with light tone. “In this place, the
title that he has meant nothing, but you don’t live in this place, forever, don’t you?”
As expected from the advisor, his words were so smooth, even when he threw a threat at the alpha. Cane narrowed his eyes, as he calculated the situation. Being on the royal’s family bad side was not something that he could afford yet with his pack current condition, he had to tread his path carefully. “What do you want?” Cane asked coldly. He didn’t really back down, but he opened for a discussion. “Don’t you hear me?! I want that woman! Give her to me!” Alan was furious. His hand was no longer in pain, but he didn’t like it when he was being attacked like that, especially by a woman, a runt on top of that. His big ego couldn’t take it. “Give her to me or else, I will make you regret! Once we get out of here!”
“That woman’ is my luna. There is a rule for this out of this black market, you will not live in this place, forever, will you?” Cane talked to Alan, but his eyes directed at Corry instead. “Open the door.” This time, Cane didn’t talk to Alan, but he ordered Will to open the door instead.
Corry used mind linked to calm Alan down. whatever he said, it seemed, it managed to make the crown prince stepped down and let them go.
Will opened the door for them and Cane took Iris’s hand, as he walked out of this inn, under the infuriated glare of Alan.
Outside, there were three horses that had been waiting for them, but this time, Cane put Iris in his horse, instead of letting Redmond to go with her like usual.
“I can go with Redmond.” Iris was trying to remind him, but Cane said nothing, as he mounted the horse and overwhelmed her with his masculine scent. He looked so calm, despite being so aggressive a moment ago. “I will go with…”
“Quiet.”
That was only a single word, but it managed to mum her. This was the second time for her to ride the horse with him. His strong arms caged her body, making her felt safe, but she was so tensed.
Iris could be casual when she was with Redmond, she could lean her body forward and rest against hist back, since she was sitting behind him, but right now, Cane put her on the front and the only option. for her was to lean her body against his chest. Would he allow it?
Along the way from the inn to the exit gates of the black market, Iris was trying to keep her body straight, but she was not sure that she could keep it up for a half day journey.
Yet, as if sensing how tensed her body, it was Cane, who pushed her body against his chest, as if telling her that she could lean against him.
