The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 453: PLOT AND PROMISE

Chapter 453: PLOT AND PROMISE

"You don’t need to drag me here, you know!" Redmond glared at Avid. This warrior had dragged him out of the bar before he could finish his second bottle, thus Redmond was sober enough to know where they would go. "I don’t want to go to the pack house!" He growled.

"Oh! Shut up! Why are you whining so much!?" Avid couldn’t take it anymore and snapped at him.

Strangely enough, Redmond didn’t talk back and only grumbled here and there, while he shook Avid’s hand off of his shoulder. "I can walk on my own!" He said viciously and Avid rolled his eyes.

"I only want you to know, if you dare to run away, I will ask all the warriors to hunt you down like a dog and drag your ass back to the pack house!"

Redmond scrunched his nose in disdain. "I don’t know that you can swear like that."

"Oh, shut up."

Probably this was Redmond’s curse, because he would end up bickering with whoever he was with, especially right now when he was in a very bad mood.

He seemed to know why Cane called him over to the pack house and he couldn’t ignore it like he did with Iris, the Alpha would give him hell if he dared to do that.

Now, after he spent a lot of time observing Cane, he became less and less confrontational with him, as he realized, the Alpha only tolerated his behavior for the sake of his mate and because he was still useful for him, but then, no matter how useful Redmond was, Cane could replace him with a snap of his fingers if he wanted.

Grumbling, Redmond dragged his feet to the pack house, where the dinner party with Haco performing his magic continued to happen.

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

Haco would have adamantly refused to be introduced in this welcoming party to the King if he knew he would be left to his own devices without Cane there. Because that was not what he agreed to.

Cane promised to be there, though everything would be up to Haco, knowing the cunning alpha was around , it would help ease his mind, especially when he had to face the other dark magic user. As of now, they were pretty sure Lady Cyan was using dark magic.

Therefore, once Haco saw Cane walk out of the room with Iris in his tow and noticed the room full of people, his heart sank. He hated to be the center of attention and here he was! Falling straight for the Alpha’s trick again!

It was either he was too weak to hold his ground to refuse Cane’s idea, or it was the Alpha who looked very convincing even when he didn’t say anything at all.

Damn it!

Haco would love to cuss Cane out when he saw him, but right now, he had a task on his shoulders to be accomplished.

"My King, My Lady, allow me to introduce myself as the new sorcerer for the Howling Wolf pack," Haco said, as he knelt down in front of the King and his mistress. He was close enough to them.

"So, Cane found a sorcerer for his pack..." King Aeon nodded, staring at the very old man before his eyes. He was not threatened by this, because he didn’t think the sorcerer before him was someone powerful. Haco looked so fragile and was very old to be considered a threat. He would probably die in a few years, since magic users didn’t have a long lifespan like shifters.

Lady Cyan on the other hand, narrowed her eyes at the sorcerer, no one knew what was in her mind when she furrowed her brows deeply. Her expression became very serious, she didn’t even try to put up a front.

"Yes, My King, and I am here to entertain you all with my magic, as a humble gift from me to be allowed to be part of this pack." If they knew Haco well enough, they would know these were not the words that he would say at all. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t know the old sorcerer.

"Good! Good!" King Aeon clapped his hands, he was about to leave the room when Cane left with Iris. "What are you going to do?"

Haco shifted his attention to Lady Cyan. "In that case, I would like to invite Lady Cyan to participate in this performance, if you don’t mind," he said clearly.

"Great!" King Aeon looked more than happy to be entertained. One thing about him that not many people knew was, he liked magic. The King was the only king in history, who had his own team of royal sorcerers and built a tower for them, making them part of his court. "Go over there and help the old man, Cyan!" King Aeon said excitedly.

In front of so many eyes, Lady Cyan couldn’t refuse that and actually stood up from her seat and walked toward Haco. They stood there, face to face, there was only two steps of distance between them.

"What do you want me to do?" Cyan asked, her tone was calm and she looked composed, but only the two of them could feel the tension, as if there was this tacit understanding that started to build up the moment they were in close proximity.

Haco smiled and extended his hand. "If I may," he said.

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

Iris felt so tired, she was barely able to open her eyes when Cane kissed the tip of her nose, as he caressed her back to ease her. Her climax shattered her and it lasted longer than before. It was a delicious torture that she would love to experience again, but then her body couldn’t take another orgasm. She was exhausted. Her body couldn’t keep up.

"Are you okay?" Cane asked. He tilted her head to look at him, so she could get the question.

Iris nodded weakly, her eyelids were about to drop, but she fought back a little bit longer because she wanted to see him. "I am so tired, my hand is still numb, I don’t think I can return the favor now..."

Cane laughed and the vibrations in his chest sent shivers down to her core. It was a beautiful voice, she noticed, he had been laughing more and more freely lately.

When he laughed with her, it was not a sardonic laugh that was filled with sarcasm and calculation.

"You don’t need to, Iris." Watching how she was squirming under his touch, moaning his name and getting her release, were enough for him, for now. It was another form of satisfaction, especially when he could hold himself back to this point and was still able to hold her in his arms after. "I am the one who wanted to please you."

Iris pursed her lips, her sleepiness hit her so hard, but she still managed to mumble. "I want to please you too..." it was not clear whether she was saying that for Cane to hear or the words just slipped from her mind.

"You will." Cane pecked her lips and then pulled back to see how sleepy she was. "But not now."

They had not yet done the deed and Iris was so exhausted already, her body wouldn’t be able to keep up with the actual act, if Cane forced it. For now, he was content with this, though Iris didn’t feel the same, since she thought it was not fair to Cane.

"I can’t go back to the party..." Iris closed her eyes, so she didn’t know Cane’s answer.

"You don’t need to, Iris. I don’t want you to be there." Cane didn’t want her to be in the same room as Lady Cyan, but with their current situation, he couldn’t do much about the matter. "Sleep, Iris. You need to rest."

Cane kissed her forehead and held her closer to him. He found peace in her scent and the warmth of her body. How could this little woman hold such importance in his life now? He knew it was not only the lycan’s feeling... it was his too.

And then, for the first time, he forgot about something.

Probably because he didn’t deem it as important to begin with.

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

Sofia sat down on her bed, waiting anxiously for the Alpha. She was so beautiful in her transparent red night gown that complimented her skin. She smelled so good and there was a glass of Cane’s favorite wine on the table. Maria was the one who prepared that for her and told her a few things about Cane, so she wouldn’t be at a loss during the conversation.

But, even after the dinner had finished and she could see from her room how the lights in the dining hall had dimmed, the Alpha had not come to her bedroom.

Sofia couldn’t sleep because she was too excited and she couldn’t help but smile all this time. Even when midnight came and there was no sign of Cane, she was still smiling, caressing her stomach patiently.

"Don’t worry, baby. Your father will be here to meet us." Sofia felt a nudge from inside her stomach and she would always be happy when she saw the smallest of movements from her baby.

She didn’t have parents and had been Alpha Gallot’s mistress since she was fifteen years old, while Alpha Gallot didn’t want to have a child with any of his mistresses, Sofia always dreamed of having a family of her own.

And right at that time, she straightened her back as someone opened the door from outside. Sofia’s face lit up and she immediately stood up to welcome him, her heart bursting with happiness.
