The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

"Don’t go," Ethan said, he finally met Aliana’s eyes. "Don’t go. You are supposed to be with Iris. You don’t need to go. As long as you asked the alpha, he will not force you to go. He will let you stay with Iris."

"Finally, you looked at me in the eyes." Aliana was surprised when Ethan came into her bedroom all of sudden, she just finished packing her things, which was not many.

This room was small and it filled with her scent, which made Ethan became uneasy. She looked lovely tonight with her simple dark blue dress and her hair loose behind her back. He didn’t want to see her in the battlefield no matter how good of a fighter she was.

Ethan agreed one hundred percent with Jace to not get Aliana involved, but the alpha gave the final decision to her, whether she wanted to stay or come with them, since he deemed Aliana was a grown up female shifter, who could make her own decision for her own life and it was not surprising when Aliana chose the latter.

The gamma brushed off her remark and went to approach her. "Iris needs you here."

"The luna has her five warriors, there is no need for me to stay here with her. There are Hanna and Amee too, who would accompany her. They are more than enough." Aliana sat down on a table. There was not many furniture inside this small bedroom and from the look of it, she didn’t sleep here very often. "More so, I can’t stay with her. Seeing her smiling, while not knowing a thing about her babies, as she forgot about them, doesn’t feel right for me. It’s difficult to see her. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see how she is being cheerful again, but I feel so wrong to let her forget about her babies, yet I don’t want to see her being so depressed either."

Aliana knew the reason why Cane chose this decision. At the very least, seeing Iris could smile again put the alpha’s mind at ease a little. He could find his salvation in her bright side.

"I don’t care what Cane’s decision for Iris, Aliana. He must have thought about it carefully before he made this decision." Especially when it came to Iris, there was no way he would make a decision lightly. "I only wanted you to be safe, Aliana. Please, what should I do to make you stay here?"

Ethan knelt in front of her, which made Aliana immediately jumped from the table and knelt also. She didn’t like to see him in that position, because it reminded her on the day of their slavery. "What are you doing?!"

Now, both of them were kneeling on the cold floor, but none of them cared how the coldness bit their skin.

"Please, Aliana, stay." Ethan gritted his teeth. "I almost lost you once, I don’t want to experience that kind of hell anymore."
