The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: AN AFFAIR

After dinner that night, Cane took the king to the dungeon, where Mason was locked away.

King Aeon knew that he wouldn’t be in a good condition and having to look for him in the dungeon was not something that surprised him, but what shocked him the most was to see his current condition with his own eyes.

"What have you done to him!?" King Aeon was flabbergasted to see Mason’s state right now.

"I followed your order, Uncle. I didn’t kill him, like I did to his father. I kept him alive," Cane replied calmly. He indeed kept Mason alive, but it was barely.

He was still in the same position as before, his limbs were chained to the wall behind him with silver chains, he was naked, so it was clear to see that his manhood was removed. The one who had done it didn’t bother to make a clean cut and it looked gruesome and so painful.

"You shouldn’t have done this to him, no matter what, he is still the alpha’s son, the next in line to the alpha’s position." King Aeon frowned hard, he stared at Mason’s pitiful condition. He didn’t pity him, but he was having a headache because his plan was ruined since he was in such a sorry state.

"I am also the son to the alpha of the Howling Wolf pack, but they killed my heavily pregnant mate right in front of me and enslaved my people, knowing fully well that I am not only the alpha’s son, but also the nephew of the king." Cane reiterated every word clearly. He didn’t raise his voice even a bit. He didn’t have to, because the king knew all of that and he still feigned ignorance.

Cane stopped there, he didn’t continue as to how the Uncle that he mentioned left them to the hands of the tyrant to go through their ’bad experience’, which left a bitter taste in king Aeon’s mouth.

"I understood," King Aeon said. He needed to curb his anger and let it go, because Mason had no use for him anymore. "Let’s head back to the pack house."

The king threw one last glance at Mason, who was seemingly unconscious and then walked ahead. Dried blood covered his face and body and there was not a single thing that was worth mentioning. He was useless now. A discarded puppet.

Ethan lowered his head in respect as the king walked out of the dungeon and when the alpha followed soon after, he walked behind Cane to return to the pack house.

[I see he is unconscious.] Cane mind-linked Ethan, who was walking slightly behind him and glanced in his direction to find him scratching his head, embarrassed.

[He created a commotion when he knew the king was here, so I hit him once or twice.]

[Once or twice.] Cane repeated the words and his gamma became even more flustered.

[I think I got a little bit carried away, I am sorry.]

Cane said nothing and the gamma could breathe in relief because he didn’t get any punishment from the alpha. It would be so scary if you incurred his wrath. Ten years of slavery only hardened his temper.
