The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202: A MYRIAD THOUGHT

Redmond cursed under his breath when he saw what was going to happen on the podium and Iris was about to turn around and witness the same thing.

He had witnessed his own fair share of violence, but knowing how soft hearted Iris was, he knew this would be too much for her to discern, thus, despite his rambling a few hours ago and how strong and vicious his words were, he still shielded her from witnessing such a nightmare.

Redmond pulled her hand and pressed her face against his chest to hide her from the last sight of Aria. How her body hung in the air and struggled for a while, which felt like forever.

"Damn it... Cane is really heartless," Redmond muttered under his breath.

Currently, they were in an alley, behind all the people who were crying and expressing their grievance for their loss of the mistress. They took pity on her, but because of her crimes, they couldn’t really ask for justice from the Alpha.

Because deep down they knew, this punishment was fair and now the only thing that they could do was to mourn the soul that they had lost.

Iris couldn’t see what was happening, neither could she hear their sad cries, but she could feel the sudden change in the air. The execution had been completed.

"You don’t want to stay here," Redmond said, though Iris couldn’t hear him. He put his arm around her shoulder and turned around to walk in the opposite direction.

These people could be unpredictable, he heard how bad it was when they stoned her when all she did was help them in the tents after the attack.

Though he was displeased to have Iris as his luna and how ’kind’ she was in this cruel world, he didn’t have any other choice. He still couldn’t put her in harm’s way that would cost her her life.

Redmond walked Iris back to the pack house, while from afar, on the east watchtower, the Alpha caught sight of his mate among all the people there.

"She’s gone now..." Jace said, the Beta watched how Ethan and Will put down Aria’s body...

"Miss!" Hanna rushed over to Iris when she saw her walking with Redmond. "I have been looking for you, where are you!?" Her face was filled with worry, everyone was well aware what transpired today, thus she wanted to stay with her, because all the people were so gloomy and she was concerned about Iris’ wellbeing and how all of this would affect her. "Are you okay?"

Iris lifted her head and smiled at Hanna, she hugged her back and turned to Redmond. "Thank you for walking me back, you can leave now."

Redmond just nodded and left without saying anything.

"Miss, where have you been? I am so worried." Hanna opened the door so Iris could step inside her bedroom.
