The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 570: THAT ’THING’

Chapter 570: THAT ’THING’

Iris woke up early in the morning and immediately found out Cane did not sleep in the bedroom last night. Even the side of his bed was still so neat, there was no trace of him whatsoever. She had been so used to waking up next to him, it felt so strange when she found herself alone again.

Instead, it was Aliana, who greeted her.

"Don’t give me that disappointed look," Aliana said, pouting her lips to feign being angry with Iris for giving her such a look. "Don’t be too disappointed, the Alpha was here last night to check on you when you were sleeping..."

"Why didn’t he wake me up? Why didn’t he stay?" Iris cut Aliana’s explanation. If Cane came over, why didn’t he stay and left immediately?

"Luna, the Alpha needs to take care of a lot of things, he changed the plan all of a sudden and there were a lot of members of this pack that needed to be treated after the attack. I am very sure the Alpha really wanted to spend the night with you." Aliana winked at Iris, but it didn’t lift her spirits.

Iris knew she had become too childish and been demanding too much, but she couldn’t help it, the feeling of being abandoned crept into her heart. She could say, it was not a feeling she wished for anyone to feel. The level of anxiety she felt, at the thought that Cane didn’t want her anymore, was insane.

"Where is Cane?"

"I think the Alpha is with Ethan now, they are overlooking this pack and strengthening the protection around the pack house."

"I want to see him," Iris stated, in that case, Aliana couldn’t stop her from leaving.

"Okay, but you still need to have your breakfast, okay." Aliana helped Iris to clean herself up and get ready for the day.

However, Aliana was clueless about what to do with Iris’ hair, aside from styling it into a half bun.

"You don’t know?" Aliana was surprised when she asked Iris how to style her hair like she did the previous day. "Who did it then?"

"Cane did," Iris said casually, because that was the truth. Before, Hanna would help Iris with her hair and recently, Cane had become such an expert when it came to her hair, he styled her hair better than Iris could.

"The Alpha did it?!" Aliana was shocked when she learned about it. Ethan must have left this detail in his exaggerated story, or maybe his story was not exaggerated at all. "He did your hair?"

Iris looked at Aliana through the mirror in front of her and watched how her jaw dropped in disbelief.

"How did you make the Alpha do it?"

"I didn’t do anything." Iris shook her head.

"When did he start to do it for you?"

Iris tried to think about that. "We spent some time on our way back to the Riverside pack and I think he was bored because it was only the two of us, so he always did my hair."

That explanation didn’t help with Aliana’s shock, if anything, she became even more speechless. Never did she imagine the Alpha to be so bored out of his mind until he was very idle to learn how to style his mate’s hair.

"The Alpha must love you so much for him to put in such an effort."

It was a small thing, but you would be able to see how much a person loved you through the small things they put their effort into to make your life easier.

Iris grimaced when she heard that. "Cane never said that he loves me," she confided to Aliana. She had never talked about her feelings to someone else, not even with Hanna, because of the way she positioned herself in Iris’ life.

Hanna cared for her and there was no doubt in that statement, but Hanna would never be Iris’ friend, she would take care of her and always see her as her ’missy’, while with Aliana, it was different.

Aliana could be a big sister that she had never had and sometimes, she would be this mischievous friend with wild imagination, and Iris would always feel so giddy to hear her crazy thoughts or how she would complain about the warriors and reprimand them.

It felt so refreshing to have Aliana around, while she also taught Iris more about the Howling Wolf pack, something that Cane had never done before, since he had a lot of things in his hands.

"Luna," Aliana said gently. "You must have noticed by now, the Alpha will talk more and explain things to you to a certain detail, something that he wouldn’t do for any of us. Do you know how Ethan always throws tantrums because he believes the Alpha is playing favorites, since he always answers your questions, but not his?"

Iris giggled when she heard how Aliana was roasting Ethan so casually.

"The Alpha is not good at explaining his feelings, but his actions must have been as clear as day to see how precious you are to him." Aliana ended up putting Iris’ hair into a half bun.

Deep down, Iris also knew about that, she felt it whenever Cane tried to make things easier for her and how he compromised a lot. Even though she still wanted to hear how he would say those words, she thought she could be content with it right now. Aliana’s words lit up her mood a little bit.

"Oh, Luna, I think it will be fine if you were a little bit bold," Aliana said again with this mischievous smile on her lips. "You know that the Alpha has been stressed out lately and I think you can cheer him up."

"How?" Iris was listening attentively, if Aliana had an idea as to how to cheer Cane up, she was willing to do anything, not to mention her guilty feeling was still lingering.

Aliana winked at her. "This is a thing only you can do," she said secretively.

"Only me?" Iris frowned.

"Oh, Luna..." Aliana grimaced when she realized how innocent the Luna was. "That ’thing’, you can make him feel better then."

"What ’thing’?" Iris became frustrated, she narrowed her eyes, feeling impatient.

"Sometimes, you need to take the initiative. I don’t know about the Alpha, but I think some men like it." And when Aliana realized Iris still couldn’t get it, she lowered her head and whispered into her ear and whatever she said made Iris’ face turn red and Aliana had the audacity to laugh at her upon seeing her reaction.

"Aliana!" Iris wanted to cry out of embarrassment, while she didn’t stop laughing.

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

"Serafim, this is my poor great grandson..." Koda didn’t waste his time. The moment the Serafim arrived at his pack along with her entourage after they managed to pass the territory, he immediately took her to his great grandson’s nursery room. "He is being cursed by the dark magic user in the palace!"

"We just arrived, can’t you wait until we take a rest for a while?" Liam protested, but Abby stopped him.

"Let me see your great grandson," Abby said. She walked gracefully, as she entered the nursery room and met Princess Laluna and the baby in her arms.
