The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

In a split second, the atmosphere turned cold and tension filled the air. Jace immediately realized how inappropriate it might have sounded, though he knew Ethan didn’t mean it in the literal sense.

On the other hand, Ethan was also quick to realize his slip of tongue, as he looked at Cane, mortified. "No! No! No! I didn’t mean it that way!" He waved his hands vigorously to emphasize what he said. "I didn’t mean it in a literal sense! I mean it figuratively! I will not do that, it’s only in my mind!"

Cane’s eyes dimmed even more. "So, in your mind, you want to kiss my mate?"

"No! No! No!" Ethan was terrified, because he knew it sounded even worse now. "No, I will not dare!" He felt like he was going to cry now. Why couldn’t he think first before running his mouth?!

Meanwhile, Jace really wanted to kick his ass, regardless of whatever came out of his mouth, it only sounded like he was digging his own grave deeper.

"Cane, you know that’s not what he meant..." Jace interrupted and elbowed Ethan to stop himself from blabbering more nonsense. "We are here to inform you that our people have spotted the King’s entourage and he will arrive within an hour."

"Prepare everything," Cane said before slamming the door shut. It was a typical order that he would give them.

Outside of the door, Jace glared at Ethan. "Are you trying to get yourself killed or what?"

The Gamma grimaced and mumbled something under his breath, but then when he lifted his head back, he looked cheerful again. "At least, we got him back! Everything will be fine!" He clapped his hands happily, but then he sighed in depression when he remembered what happened to Will.

He would talk with Cane about him when he had time, also about Aria’s missing dead body and so many other things. Jace also had a lot of things to report to the Alpha.

But, right now, they needed to focus on the arrival of the King.
