The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 94
94 I WILL CATCH A COLD
Will didn’t go straight to Iris’s bedroom, but he looked for Hanna first, he saw the woman was in the washing room with the other women, chatting away. She looked brilliant and exuded warmth and gentleness, as if everything became better with only her touch.
“Hanna…” Will called her, he cursed himself for looking so pathetic. Why would he become so nervous just to call her name?
Hanna turned around and her eyes found him, she was smiling and this made Will felt his heart thumped wildly. He felt silly because he didn’t know what he had to do with his arms that dropped beside his body.
“Yes, sir Will?” Hanna approached him, while the other girls giggled to see this scene. Will really wanted to tell them to shut up because they created a strange atmosphere for both of them.
“I am not a sir, you can call me just Will.”
The giggling from behind became even noticeable and Will could see how Hanna’s face turned bright red, she tried to make them dropped it, but the four girls only laughed it off.
“I can’t do that, you are alpha’s personal bodyguard.” In another word, he held higher rank than her. “May I know why are you looking for me?” she tried to ignore her friends‘ tease, but he could see how it affected her, in a good way, if Will could say.
“I need your help to call for luna Iris,” he said, it was a little bit awkward for him to address Iris as the luna of the pack, but it was her title and it was not polite to call her by her name when he was only a guard.
“She is in her room, you can find her there.”
Will scratched his head. “I can’t just barge into her room, right?”
Since Iris couldn’t hear, there was no way she would know if there was someone else outside of the door, no matter how loud he was calling her or how long he knocked on her door.
“Oh.” Hanna immediately understood. “Come with me,” she said and the other girls cheered on the background, they were like teenagers.
Hanna shot them a warning glare, but it only made them laughed even more, while Will pretended. that he heard nothing.
Both of them went to Iris’s bedroom in silence. They didn’t know what to say because they didn’t have anything in common, yet the absence of the conversation made Will didn’t know what to do. He wanted to talk to her, but what? The topic that he knew would be so boring for her.
“How is it in the Howling Wolf pack?” he asked, scratching his head. This was the best topic that you could think of? He chided himself.
“I like it to be here, Hanna replied earnestly, as she smiled lovingly. “I like the people here too. Do you like to return to your homeland?”
“Yes.”

“Oh
And there, another silence.
Thankfully, it was only ten minutes walk and they finally arrived in front of Iris’s bedroom door, right next to the alpha’s.
“I will call her. Hanna then entered the bedroom, while Will waited for them. He didn’t stop reproaching himself for such silly topic that he brought.
Not long after that, the door was opened and this time, it was Iris.
“Yes?” she asked. Her big blue eyes stared at Will. Her hair was a little bit a mess, since she just tied it behind her back.
“The alpha is looking for you, he needs you in the training ground.”
“Training ground?” Iris glanced at the window, it was raining.
“I will bring an umbrella for you,” Will said, knowing what she was thinking.
“Oh. okay…”
Iris didn’t know why Cane needed her in the training ground, but seeing how nervous Will was, she couldn’t help to think that it was something urgent, thus she didn’t ask further.
Little did she know, the personal guard was nervous for something else entirely.
Redmond’s eyes flickered in annoyance to see Iris walked toward them, she was holding an umbrella, but it was not enough to keep her dry. The hem of her dress was wet when she walked in the puddle.
“Come here, you can catch a cold if you stand under the rain,” Iris said to Will, who refused to stand
under the same umbrella with her.
“We, shifter, is not that weak. We can stand under the rain for a whole day and night and perfectly fine.” He didn’t mean to brag, but he only stated the fact.
That was why, under that understanding, no one cared enough even if they had to work or walk under
the rain.
“But, I get sick, Iris said in small voice, she looked dejected and only then Will realized he had said something wrong.
“Oh, that’s…” Will was speechless, but right after that, Cane beckoned her to come closer.
Iris quickened her pace and approached the two of them, while Will stayed behind them with the beta and the gamma.
“We can find somewhere else to talk,” Redmon said in grim tone.
Cane glanced at Iris, who was shivering slightly when the cold wind blew and without saying anything, he walked to the side, where they could take shelter from this rain, as the two of them followed.
They were taking a shelter in a tunnel that connected the training ground to the exit.
Once they were there, Iris put down her umbrella and took off her shoes.
“Yes?” Iris lifted her head and he repeated his question. “My shoes are wet, I will catch a cold if I keep wearing them.”
“Now, tell me about the black market.” Cane didn’t beat around the bush, because this idea came from Iris, thus she must be there to hear this as well and the alpha could use her to press Redmond from talking nonsense.
The bright side from pledging your loyalty was; you couldn’t lie in front of the person that you gave your oath to.
