The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: THE WARM ROOM

From behind, Ethan wrapped his arm around his neck. "Young man, you should be able to beat them up too, why is it only you who gets beaten up always?"

"Be careful, he is injured," Iris said with concern, but Ethan just laughed at her worrying self, while Joel grinned at the Gamma, though he grimaced when Ethan touched his wound in a not-so-gentle-manner.

"You don’t need to worry, he is not going to die." Ethan tightened his arm around Joel’s neck and both of them started to brawl on the floor in no time.

Iris looked very anxious to see this, she was afraid that Ethan would aggravate his wound, but when she looked around, the others didn’t seem to be concerned about it at all, some of them even laughed, as they watched them go at it.

Was it really okay to leave them like that? Iris was puzzled. They wouldn’t go overboard, right?

"You don’t need to worry, Luna," a woman, around her late thirties approached her and took her hand to make her sit at the table. "They are usually like that." _{freёwebnovel.com}

"Oh..." Iris mumbled, she stared at the two of them, still brawling on the floor and after a closer look, she realized what the woman said was right. They were hitting each other playfully, no one was harmed.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" The woman asked her sincerely, while the other five omegas in the room were glancing at her stealthily.

"Yes, please..." Iris smiled sheepishly.

And, when Ethan heard them offer Iris food, he immediately shoved Joel away from him and rose to his feet.

"I want to eat too, I am famished!" He grumbled and then slumped his ass on the chair on Iris’ right side, while Joel joined them and took the seat on her left.

"I want to eat too, please," he said cheerfully, despite the bruises on his face. "I am so hungry, the weather is so cold!" He whined.

The other people laughed and then talked at the same time, one after another, which made the banter too fast for Iris to keep track of what they were talking about, but she could tell that they liked this young warrior and he frequently visited the kitchen to get extra food before dinner time.

The room was so warm, but it was not only because of the fire burning in the fireplace and the braziers, but also because these people made it so.

Iris had never been in this kind of situation, where they teased each other and could laugh freely, although she missed a few of their words and it confused her, she still felt happy. Her heart felt so warm, as if there was a little brazier inside her chest.

Is this what they call having friends? No wonder Hanna always looked exceptionally cheerful after she met with her friends, despite her tiring day.

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

This reminded Cane of the efficacy of the Asturi stem.

"What? Do you miss your mother, so you want to hear a story about mine?" Mason laughed wryly, he glared at Cane. He made sure that he wouldn’t make it easy for him to get the information from him. He had to eke out for it

Yet, Cane didn’t play his game.

He walked toward the fireplace again and then took out the hot iron rod before retracing his way to Mason.

"Fine! I will tell you everything! You want to know about her death, right?!" Mason was disgusting, but at the very least, he was not really stupid not to understand Cane’s intentions to question him about this.

However, Cane simply stabbed his right thigh with an expressionless face, watching Mason scream in agony, because the wound from earlier was reopened.

"STOP IT! ARGH! I TOLD YOU I WILL TALK! I WILL TALK!" Mason dreaded Cane now, because he looked so calm.

There was no hatred, satisfaction or enjoyment when he did that. There was nothing in his dark eyes.

And the room was soon filled with the smell of charred flesh.
