The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 144
144 I NEED YOUR MATE TO FIND IT
Cane pushed Iris body against him, so she could lean on him instead of being so taut and hurt her back. He knew that she was still in pain because of the horse riding, thus it wouldn’t help if she kept being so tense.
On the other hand, Iris licked her lips with the gesture, she was unsure if this was alright, but then when she put her weight against him, he didn’t say anything, even when she wriggled her body to find a comfortable position, Cane still said nothing.
This made Iris smiled, she finally could relax and didn’t dread their long journey back to Arleen city. Actually, this was way more comfortable than being with Redmond, because she wouldn’t be afraid to fall if she felt sleepy, since Cane’s strong arms would keep her in place.
However, before they could reach the exit gates, someone blocked their path and made their horses.
almost run into him.
Cane didn’t pull the horse to stop until it was so close to that man, as if he would really run him over, which caused him tumbled back and fell on his butt.
“Alpha Cane! You are so ruthless!” Lou grumbled, as he stood up and rubbed his back. His butt was hurt, but once he faced the alpha, he was all smiling. “Long time no see, alpha.”
Lou grinned from ear to ear, as he glanced at Iris, who was sitting on top of the horse. Cane’s body towered above her, made it very clear the stark different between them. Iris looked so small compared to the alpha.
“I thought you want to get Asturi stem. I waited for you, but you didn’t come, so I humble myself to look for you.”
Lou was still wearing his red cloak and looked very dandy, if only he was wearing a dress and had a long hair, he surely would look even prettier than the queen herself.
“Scram!” Cane glared at him and made the horse raised its front legs, as if about to kick the annoying.
man.
He was not a shifter, so if the horse really kicked him, he would be in serious injuries, yet despite knowing that, he still stood in front of them with his brilliant smile, which Redmond found it annoying.
Redmond didn’t like this man at all, ever since he met him for the first time when he went to Rosantine guild with Mason.
“Ck, ck” Lou clicked his tongue. The alpha didn’t even get down from his horse when he talked to him, making the respected head guild looked like a peasant.
Fine.
Lou was very curious with that girl with auburn hair, thus he couldn’t help it to lower his ego. And when he learned that the stupid crown prince had failed to bring her to him, he went here by himself.
But, still this alpha didn’t give him face at all and acted so arrogant. If this was any other day, he wouldn’t let anyone treated him like this.
“Can’t we talk over a dinner? I have a good wine, you must try my Karam wine first before you left. You will not be able to find it anywhere.
This time, Lou didn’t talk in Kars, but he used this continent language.
“Let’s go, there is no need to talk to him. He is a swindler, Redmond said begrudgingly, as he moved his horse away, but to their surprised, the alpha agreed to that.
“Okay.” And after saying that, he made the horse turned toward the black market again and rode away. Will didn’t expect this, but he followed his alpha immediately, while Redmond grumbled under his breath and didn’t have any other option, but to follow as well, leaving Lou alone there.
“Wait! Is there no one willing to give me a lift?” Lou was gobsmacked by their rudeness. “Fine! What a shifter! They really lack of humanity!”
It didn’t take long before Lou arrived as well, he was riding a dainty white horse, which only made him looked extravagance in his red cloak and nimbly got down, as one of his subordinates took the horse
away.
The sight of it made Will and Redmond cringed. Didn’t rumor say that Karam people was barbaric? What happened with him? Was he an exception?
“Come inside!” Lou said cheerfully, waving his hand to make them followed him into the house, as if he was not cursing along the way from the exit gates to here, because they abandoned him. “Bring our best wine for our guests!”
Cane helped Iris to get down from the horse. The only reason he agreed to come here was because what Iris told him about the mines behind the door. She said there was mine filled with a lot of water
magic stones inside.
They went into the house and sat down in the waiting room, the same room like yesterday when Cane had to wait for Lou with Alan.
“I want to see the Asturi stem.” Cane got down to the business once they were inside the house, he didn’t even sit down, as he stood behind Iris’s chair. His domineering aura filled the room with
tension.
“You are very impatient, aren’t you?” Lou chuckled, but when there was no one laughed with him, he coughed lightly and ordered his subordinate to bring the item.
“What kind of pet do you want me to get?” Cane asked. He was not here to drink with him. Moreover, there was another matter that he had to get it done.
“Lil Thing!” Lou said with an exaggerated sigh. “This animal went to that room a week ago and refused
to come out.”
What a nonsense. How could a room that its door was sealed by a magic could be entered freely? Both of them knew how ridiculous the story was, but Lou was so shameless to insist with that story line.
“That’s why, I need your mate to find it.”
“If you can’t find it, what makes you think she can?
