The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 541: WISH

Chapter 541: WISH

Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain,

living a life with nothing to gain,

Surrounded by darkness, overwhelmed with shame.

A life without peace with no one to blame.

Do you know of a place unseen,

A place that holds only shattered dreams,

A place filled with sorrow with no end in sight,

I am given this gift each and every night.

Do you know of a place so cold,

This is the place I call my soul,

A place without hope or comforting dreams,

A life not worth living wouldn’t it seem.

*** Do You Know. By: Michelle Boyd. ***

Cane sat Iris down on the edge of the bed and reached out to her back to untie the strings behind her dress. He had done it a few times and now, he could say he already got a hang of it, thus there was no need to rip her dress anymore. Iris would complain every time he did that, especially to the dresses she liked.

"Cane? What are you doing?!" Iris was taken aback when she was undressed so suddenly, she held on to the front of her dress to cover her chest.

It was so different to be naked in front of him when they were in the throes of passion than when she was sober enough to feel self conscious.

"You have saved one of my warriors’ lives, let me take care of you, Iris," Cane said. He bent his body and kissed the tip of her nose. He was a little bit upset to see how pale she was, but he kept his emotions in check. It was only his overly protective instinct that didn’t want her to be in this state.

Thankfully, the Alpha was still rational enough not to scold her for not taking care of herself. Iris’ intention was so genuine, the aftermath of it was what Cane didn’t like.

"You are sweating," Cane said gently. He tugged the dress lightly, but Iris still didn’t let go.

"I- I can do it myself... I can call Aliana or Hanna to help..." Iris felt like she was going to melt under Cane’s intense gaze.

"You have me here, why do you need them?" Cane bent his body and knelt before her. He traced his fingers on her exposed shoulders, which made Iris’ skin hum in delight. "Don’t be stubborn, take it off," Cane coaxed her and watched how his woman turned so red. "I have seen everything already, what are you embarrassed of?"

"Yes... but, it’s because... it was necessary for us to take off our clothes... when you know... doing that."

"Doing what?"

Iris pursed her lips when she realized that Cane actually was trying to play a fool by asking that question. There was no way he didn’t know what she meant and when she lifted her head to look at him, she could see clear amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Cane!"

But, her protest was swallowed when Cane kissed her lips and pulled her up by holding her waist before he cradled her face to deepen the kiss.

Iris was breathless and moaned when Cane squeezed her bottom lightly and pressed himself against her. She felt a little bit lightheaded when he sucked on her tongue and his hand left her face to squeeze her breast.

She could feel how she became excited despite her exhaustion, but when she wondered whether she could take it further in her condition, Cane stepped back and their magical moment was cut short and before long, she found herself only in her undergarments, while her dress pooled around her ankles.

"I am going to get a dress for you to change into," Cane said with a satisfied smirk on the corners of his lips. He actually smirked when he saw the disappointment in Iris’ eyes and then it turned into a mortified look the moment she realized what he was up to.

"Cane!" Iris used her hair to cover her nakedness and then went to the bed in a rush to cover herself with a blanket, while Cane stared at her bottom when she turned around, her short legs poking out of the blanket, even from behind he could tell how annoyed she was.

Cane approached her and put his arms beside her body, trapping her. "Don’t be so disappointed. You are on your period and tired, it will be too overwhelming for you."

"I am not!" Iris looked mortified, knowing Cane could tell how aroused she was. Ugh.

As if Cane could tell what was in her mind, he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. "Don’t worry, Grace’s concoction worked. No one can tell that you are aroused."

"But, you can!" Iris looked like she was going to cry out of embarrassment when she pointed out that fact.

"Of course," Cane said lightly and nibbled on her earlobe, which made Iris push him away.

"No!" She covered her ears and pulled the blanket over her head, as Cane chuckled and showed some mercy on her. He finally moved away to get her the said dress.

Grace had given her a concoction that she just needed to take three times. It could suppress the smell of her arousal, but somehow, Cane still managed to sense it. It was faint, but the scent was still there.

Not long after and before Cane could dress his mate, Grace arrived and the Alpha let her in, because he didn’t want to delay Iris’ check up.

"Are you feeling cold, Luna?" Grace asked when she approached Iris, who was still covering her body with the blanket.

Iris’ eyes widened when she saw Grace. She knew the healer came, but she thought Cane would let her dress properly first before he let her in.

"No, I am fine," Iris said in a small voice, as she gave Cane a look when she saw him behind Grace, holding a clean dress.

"Let me check on you. Please, give me your hand," Grace said, though she was a little bit baffled about why the Luna was covering her whole body with the blanket in the middle of the day.

Iris slid her left hand out of the blanket, while the healer sat down next to her. The latter was clueless about the situation, since she didn’t see the Alpha behind her, holding the dress with his arms crossed in front of his chest, as he leaned his tall body against one of the bed poles.

"Luna, how did you do that? How can you heal Joel?" Grace asked with curiosity, as she held her hand and checked on the Luna. There was not much she could do, since her healing power didn’t really work on her.

"I just purified the traces of black magic..." Iris recalled and then told Grace what she had done.

On the other hand, Grace listened attentively, she knew a few things like how Iris actually could do some magic and aside from her ability to detect the magic stones and black magic, she could do a few things with her unheard of power.

From what Grace heard, Iris was able to see the spirits of people who had died, but this information had not yet been confirmed and she didn’t dare to ask her about it bluntly.

"I wonder how you can get such great power, Luna, and only recently you figured it out," Grace said.

"How is she?" Cane asked.

It was very subtle, but Grace immediately knew that she had asked too much and the answer to her question was something that she didn’t need to know.

The healer immediately remembered her position and cleared her throat to tell Cane that Iris was fine, she was only exhausted.

"I will make a concoction and she will be fine."

"Will it be alright for her to leave for the long journey tomorrow?"

Tomorrow, they were leaving for the Silver River pack and Cane didn’t want Iris to get sick on their way there.

"If she rests well, she will be fine tomorrow." Grace’s eyes fell on something that the Alpha was holding and then she blushed when she put two and two together. "Alpha, please refrain yourself, the Luna is in dire need of rest. You can’t exhaust her."

"Okay," Cane replied without any emotions, while Iris felt like she wanted to cry. Grace knew about their intimate life more than she wanted her to.

"Don’t... bother her either, Alpha," Grace added. She felt like she needed to help the Luna by warning the Alpha not to touch her for a while, since she knew how it would end if they really did the deed and with Iris’ current state, she wouldn’t be able to take it.

"Okay." Cane nodded flatly.

And after that, Grace left to make a concoction for Iris.

Once it was only the two of them, Cane approached Iris with her dress. "Come. Kick off the blanket."

Knowing Cane wouldn’t budge with his decision to take care of her, Iris put away the blanket and now she became a little bit docile when her mate helped her get dressed.

But, once Cane was done, he bent his knees and knelt down before her. This was not the first time he did this, but it was still unsettling for Iris to see him in this position.

It was unheard of for an alpha to bend down in front of someone else, unless that person was the King, not even their mate, since in this chaotic world, the only difference from a destined mate and the mistress was the favor of the Alpha, which meant, someone with status like Cane shouldn’t have done this gesture so casually, even to his own mate.

"Iris, I want you to grant my wish."
