The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557: PROVING THEIR POINT (2)

Eron and Dyne’s intention was not bad, they even tangled in an altercation with the warriors who talked bad about Iris.

"Don’t worry, I will not send them to the dungeon or chase after the monsters," Iris replied, hinting at the punishments Cane gave to them and this made both of them chuckle. "Now, tell me what happened while I was unconscious. Cane refuses to talk about it with me, he keeps telling me that I need to rest. I am pretty fine now."

"Luna, if the Alpha did not tell you, there must be a reason. Maybe you are still not yet fit enough for this heavy conversation." Aliana looked reluctant to give Iris a helping hand.

"I promise, I am really fine, Aliana. I will not tell Cane anything about it and pretend that I know nothing."

Aliana narrowed her eyes. "But, the problem is, you can’t lie to the Alpha, Luna. You know that."

"Oh..." Iris couldn’t retort that. Aliana was right. It was so rare for someone to be able to pass Cane’s observant eyes and Iris was not even good at lying. More so, Cane knew her better than herself at times.

Seeing how Iris’ expression turned gloomy, Aliana giggled, as her eyes turned mischievous. "I will tell you, but if the Alpha gets angry, will you cover me?"

Iris giggled with her. "Yes, of course!" She felt like she was in cahoots with Aliana and this feeling was so refreshing.

Iris loved Hanna without a doubt, but she had never seen her eye to eye, as Hanna would always think of herself as her personal maid and wouldn’t let herself cross that line, but with Aliana, Iris felt like she finally had a friend.

Aliana was mischievous, it could be said, she was even more playful than Ethan. She felt like a sister or friend that Iris had never had.

Probably it was too early to have an opinion about her, but Iris felt comfortable around her from the very first day she was assigned as her personal warrior.

"Tell me what it is?" Iris leaned her body over, impatient to know what was going on, since Cane looked so closed off about it.

"Okay." Aliana knew this was against the Alpha’s wishes, but then she was Iris’ personal warrior and she answered to her call, not the Alpha’s, so did the other seven warriors, even though they couldn’t blatantly disobey Cane.

However, in Aliana’s mind, as a luna, one needed to be well aware of the state they were in and also their surroundings. And Iris looked fine enough to have this conversation. The Alpha was only being overly protective and worried about his mate.

"The situation is not good, Luna," Aliana started.

"What happened?" Iris could feel it, but she was not sure how bad the situation was.

Aliana explained all the details of things that had transpired and Iris couldn’t believe a lot of things that happened during such a short period of time.

First, Aliana started with the birth of almost twenty babies in the Riverside pack, while there were more women ready to give birth within the next month and more within the following ones, which meant, by the end of the year, the Riverside pack would have more than two hundred newborns, who needed to be fed.

It happened because of Alpha Gill’s twisted mind when he had instructed to build the tunnel that would connect the Riverside pack and the Chrystal Moon pack.

However, compared to what was going on in the capital city, the problem with the newborns was a speck of dust.

The latest news they heard, Alan, as the new king, had killed all the previous king’s right hand men, leaving only those, whose packs were still allies for the royals.

Of course, this infuriated Alpha Derick, because the representative of his pack had been killed mercilessly and now his pack was on the spear, while its body was being devoured by the monsters.

It seemed, Alpha Derick opening his pack for Prince Kellan to flee from the palace was seen as himself taking a stand to contradict the royals.

Leaving Cane, as the only alpha in the south to take his stand. If Cane refused to succumb under Alan’s reign, it was a clear reason for the royals to attack them.

The problem was, larger territories came with more troubles than you could imagine, especially when these packs had not yet completely accepted Cane as their new alpha.

"There is this group called Silver Warriors, who have been rallying people behind them to oppose Alpha Cane. They refused to support Alpha Cane and merge all the packs under one command. The Alpha is considering letting go of the Silver River pack, but the problem is..."

"What is the problem?" Iris frowned.

"This pack will not survive without our help. There are a lot of members of this pack that have been living even more poorly than the people of the Riverside pack. There are a lot of children."

"The pleasure is mine," Abby said in her calm voice.

Meanwhile Koda couldn’t help, but frown, because the Serafim before his eyes reminded him of a certain runt, especially how delicate she looked and her hair color or the color of her eyes.

He wondered if Cane’s mate was related to this woman in any way, since the two of them resemble each other so much. They could be passed as siblings.

"Let’s cut this conversation short," Abby said, she didn’t like making small talk when it was not necessary to do so. "Tell me the important thing that you want to tell me."

Koda cleared his throat, because he was the one with full knowledge of what was going on. He took over the conversation from there.

"I know, Alpha Dex must have told you about the situation in the capital city and there is this power struggle for the throne, thus the kingdom is a little bit chaotic right now."

"Yes, I am aware of that," Abby said. She was only twenty three, but despite her sickly appearance, she had this calm and serene aura around her. She was the Serafim after all.

"Alpha Dex must have told you the origin of Prince Alan, who currently is the King."

"Yes, Lady Cyan is a dark witch, but Prince Alan was the one who had informed me about the activity of black magic in this continent and how he was disgraced by being accused of practicing it."

"He is indeed practicing black magic, Serafim," Koda said. His voice was a little bit emotional when he spoke again. "He lured you to come to this continent."

Standing behind the Serafim, the five Holy Knights in their armors hardened their expression upon hearing that. The tension inside this room was so thick and the five knights looked so dangerous. One of them took a step forward to stand right beside the Serafim.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know Decratic?"

Actually, Koda was not sure what he was talking about, but this was Cane’s instruction.
