The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH HIM

Iris woke up when she felt someone enter the room and found it was Hanna. She brought her and Cane their breakfast and because she saw the two of them were still sleeping, she didn’t linger for long and left right away after she put the tray on the table beside the bed.

Hanna also checked the fireplace and added more firewood to it to keep the room warm, because it started to get cold nowadays.

But, because she didn’t check on Iris again, she didn’t know that she had woken up. She just stared at her the whole time, yet, she didn’t make any sound because she didn’t want to wake Cane up.

Currently, the Alpha was still in the same position, he was still hugging her hips with his face buried in the crook of her shoulder, he breathed evenly.

Usually, Cane would wake up at even a little bit of noise and he would be highly alerted if someone came close to him, since his slavery days taught him so hard that he couldn’t have a good rest.

But right now, he let go of all the pain and worries. He put down his guard because it was so tiring and he didn’t want to think of anything. He wanted to be oblivious to the whole world.

The decision to execute Aria was hard on him, he had warned her several times, because he didn’t want to be forced into giving out that final verdict.

Not because Cane couldn’t do it, the fact that he was more than able to issue this order made him try his hardest to put a distance from her, because their mutual consent and the agreement between them had turned into an obsession on her part.

It wouldn’t do good to either of them.

On the other hand, Iris didn’t know all of those thoughts, but she could understand why Cane looked distraught after he issued the order, because for whatever reason, Aria was one of the closest people that Cane had.

Though Cane didn’t see her romantically, he must see her as a companion, just like how he saw his beta and gamma.

And to sever that tie and punish her severely, was not an easy decision.

Iris raised her hand and caressed Cane’s head. Right now, the Alpha was oblivious to the whole world, of all people, he was the one who needed to rest the most and she wanted him to have it his way.

However, Iris had a lot of questions, which she couldn’t ask him, thus the best way to figure out what had happened was to ask the Gamma or the Beta.

Did everyone know about Cane’s lycan form? What was their reaction? How did they know it was Aria? How was Redmond now? The last time she saw him was when he fought the lycan and dropped to the ground, unable to move.

Slowly, Iris got off the bed and walked toward the door, but as soon as she opened it, she saw Redmond and Will standing right behind it.

They were startled to see Iris open the door. Apparently, they had been knocking for a minute before Iris appeared.

"Can you hear now?" Redmond blurted out.

"I just happened to come out," Iris replied, because the warrior thought she suddenly managed to cure her deafness. "Are you okay?" Her voice sounded worried now, as she scrutinized Redmond’s body.

Shamelessly, Redmond raised his shirt to show his stomach before pointing at the spot that was attacked by the lycan. "It is not easy to kill me!" He declared, but he got a hit on his back by Will, as he forced him to put down his clothes.

Meanwhile, Iris was taken aback, as she took a step back because of the sudden display of Redmond’s shamelessness.

"Have some decency," Will chided and Redmond simply glared at him.

"I want to talk with Cane," Redmond demanded, he cut straight to the point, brushing off Will’s displeasure.

"He is sleeping."

"Wake him up." _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

"Why don’t you call Jace here, so he could explain this matter to him?" Iris didn’t want to explain this sensitive issue, thus it would be safe to let the Beta do the explanation.

"I will call him." Will immediately left to call for Jace, because he knew Redmond would be difficult to handle and if worse came to worst, they needed to execute another person today.

Yet, hearing that, Redmond was having none of it. "I want to talk to Cane now."

"Are you giving me an order?" Iris narrowed her eyes at him. She prayed that Will would return quickly with Jace, though facing Redmond was as not scary as the lycan, she didn’t like this confrontation and this man was trying to intimidate her thoroughly.

If this was in the past, she would shrink back and lower her head timidly, but right now, she wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb Cane. She would wake him up before the execution, if he was still sleeping, but absolutely not now.

"There is no way I can give you an order, you are my luna." Redmond looked docile, but the meaning of his words didn’t erase the smugness in his face.

"I am glad you still remember that," Iris said, standing straight in front of the door, as if she was guarding it.

"Say." Redmond couldn’t help but ask this very question. "Don’t you think this is the right time for us to strike the Howling Wolf pack?" He lowered his voice, though it was only the two of them in this west tower. "The current number of the Blue Moon warriors is more than enough to overwhelm the Howling Wolf’s and if this news reaches the King, he will be more than happy to lend a helping hand to destroy this pack."

Redmond was still harboring this intention and he would keep whispering this idea into her ear at any chance he got.

"The Howling Wolf pack only sucks our pack dry! Cane is using you to get the Blue Moon pack and the mines! You don’t like this mate bond, he doesn’t even like you, as you are a reminder of his slavery days and Alpha Gerald, sooner or later, when you are no longer useful to him, you will be discarded."

Redmond looked Iris right in her eyes when he spoke again, he could see how she was trying to process this.

"He is a lycan, he used dark magic. How long do you think he can keep it a secret? If you are still with him, once he starts going down, you will go down with him as well and when it happens, not only the Howling Wolf pack will be destroyed, but the Blue Moon pack will be as well. Think about that."
