The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: SHE IS NOTHING LIKE HER FATHER

The shirt that Iris wore when she walked out of Cane's bedroom managed to cover her thighs halfway, which showed the difference in the body sizes of the two of them.

The guard that escorted her back to her cell was a different man from earlier and he didn't drag her along, nor did he walk so quickly.

"You are so lucky the alpha didn't do the things that he had done to your brother," he said, glancing at Iris, but because she had her head down, she wouldn't be able to get his words and this only made him sigh. "How can someone like you be born to such a cruel alpha?"

He knew that Iris couldn't hear him, this was not a secret and people that interacted with her this past week would know about that clearly.

Meanwhile, Iris was staring at the dark sky, she looked at the crescent moon. The moon goddess. If God really existed, why did they let this misery fall upon her?

However, despite her bitterness, Iris felt good when she could walk in the open like this again, since she could only see hard walls that surrounded her inside her cell. She prayed her misery would end someday.

And she hoped Cane wouldn't treat the people in the Blue Moon pack horribly, like her father treated his people. Most of them only followed their alpha...

"Get inside, someone will bring you some food." The man opened the cell and Iris walked inside.

Once again, she was trapped in this darkness, as the coldness bit into her skin while there was nothing that could warm her here.

Iris huddled in the corner of her cell, hugging herself. She felt her body turning hot, but she was so cold.

She was sick again...

=======================

"She has a problem with her hearing?" Cane leaned his back against the desk behind him, as he folded his arms, listening to Jace's, his beta, report.

"Yes, she was born as a runt, after all. Aside from health issues, she has problems with her hearing, but from what I know, she can read lips, that's how she communicates with other people."

That answered why that girl didn't reply to his question when he didn't force her to look at him.

"How was she treated by her father?" Cane couldn't get rid of the image of her back. The scars were from being whipped and he was sure of that. Who would have whipped the alpha's daughter?

"Why are you asking this? Did you take pity on her?" Jace asked curiously. He stared directly into his eyes, trying to read what was in his mind, but it was not possible to do that. The depth of his thoughts was so scary.

"Pity?" Cane tilted his head, his dark eyes grew cold at that word. "We don't take pity on our enemy, Jace."

There was a complicated look on the beta's face. "I got a hold of her personal maid, if you want, I can run an interrogation on her."

Cane thought about it for a while. "Bring her here."

It didn't take long for Iris's personal maid to come see Cane, she lowered her head and looked terrified in the presence of the alpha. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
