The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: IT’S TIME

Redmond was against this idea, he was adamant about leaving Iris out of this crazy plan, but she was the sole factor that could make this plan work.

He was so pissed to see how Iris was so eager to throw her life in danger to agree with this. He could see how badly Iris was trying to please the Alpha. She was so willing to help him with whatever he requested of her. She looked like a people pleaser right now, because she was afraid these people would abandon her if she didn’t have any use for them.

Redmond could see this pattern in Iris, where she always looked for assurance from people around her and was willing to bend over her back to please them. He hated this attitude of hers the most.

Especially toward Cane. His words and his view were very important to her.

That was how Redmond saw Iris and all he wanted for her to have was a little bit of backbone to reject being part of such a dangerous plan.

"Will you kill yourself if he one day he says you to do so?" Redmond asked scornfully, as he watched the Alpha shift into his lycan form. It looked painful and he grimaced when he heard the sound of cracking bones. This was the first time he watched Cane’s transformation and Redmond was still bitter about being part of this dark secret of his. "You must value your life also, you know."

Ethan, who heard that, scoffed. "You need to stop lecturing her, you know. You demand her to grow up and be strong, but you treat her like a child." The warrior gave him a side eye. "Part of growing up is making your own decisions and facing the consequences. Stop nagging at her, she has endured as much hardship as the rest of us."

On the other hand, Iris paid no mind to their squabbling and approached the lycan, as the creature looked so grim when he saw her between Redmond and Ethan. He barred his teeth and let out a dangerous growl.

Seeing how Iris was about to approach the lycan, Redmond instinctively wanted to stop her, but Ethan pulled him back before he could grab her.

"She is not a child and the lycan will tear you apart if you touch her," Ethan warned him sternly.

Redmond should have learned his lesson when Cane was under the influence of black magic that was instigated by Aria the last time. How the lycan was so fond of Iris and wouldn’t let anything happen to her. The lycan would kill anyone, friend or foe, if they as much as touched a strand of her hair.

It was not Iris who they needed to be concerned about, but it was them that should be worried about their own safety from the lycan.

Redmond grumbled, but he dropped the matter and let Iris approach the lycan. He still remembered how he almost died the last time he fought off this beast. After all, this cursed creature had killed a thousand beasts by himself.

Meanwhile, Iris went to the lycan and caressed its head, as the creature nuzzled against her hand. She was no longer afraid of him and from what she learned from Cane’s explanation, he would still have a clear grip over the lycan when he shifted during the new moon, whenever she was there as well.

It was safe to say that the lycan was still Cane in a sense, though he had a different form from his wolf.
