The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: THE WHITE DAGGER

This came out as a surprise for Cane. "You are aware you may bump into Kellan there, right? You don’t need to go if you don’t want to."

After learning what happened, Cane improvised his plan around Iris and settled on an alternative way to get the public sympathy, thus for Iris to go to the orphanage regularly was not necessary.

"I know. I will go there when he is not there." Iris flinched when she heard his name being mentioned and this subtle reaction didn’t go unnoticed by Cane.

"He spends five to six days in the orphanage in a week. How do you plan to pay the children regular visits while avoiding him?"

Iris was surprised to read that revelation. She guessed Prince Kellan visited the orphanage often, but not that often... he practically lived there and this made Iris feel even more uncomfortable. How many children did he...

Iris gritted her teeth, as she clutched her dress tightly, her body tensed up.

Cane stared at his mate for a long moment, but when she didn’t say anything, he pinched her chin and lifted her head, so she could read his question. "You have a plan in your mind?"

"It’s not really a plan," Iris said in a small voice. She couldn’t help but compare her measly plan with Cane’s grand ones and felt dejected.

"Let me hear it then."

Iris pursed her lips. "Don’t laugh."

"Why would I?"

Iris couldn’t answer that. The only thing she knew was that she was embarrassed. "I want to teach the children how to read and write."

"Mm." Cane prodded further for her to talk, because he couldn’t see the need for Iris to teach those children how to read and write, but he wasn’t completely against it, he needed more context on what Iris was going to do.

"I want them to be able to exchange letters with me," Iris said. "We will not stay here forever, right? So, when we return to the Howling Wolf pack, I want to still be in contact with them."

This idea sounded very trivial, but in the future, it would help them tremendously, even Cane failed to see it, because right now, the Alpha’s main focus was to get the public sympathy and his mate teaching those children such precious things would look good.

Lowborn people didn’t get enough education, almost all of them were illiterate because writing and reading were two things that were exclusively reserved for the highborns alone.

Since they needed to trade with other people, they could do calculations. Other than that, their knowledge was very limited. They could always be deceived because they were not well educated.

Cane contemplated this. "What about Kellan?" He intentionally mentioned his name, knowing how uncomfortable Iris would be. If she couldn’t even handle the mention of his name, she shouldn’t think about meeting him in person at all.

Once again, Iris flinched. She fiddled with her fingers. "Can’t you take him away?"

"Do you want me to kidnap him?" There was amusement in Cane’s eyes when he heard that. He knew Iris was not serious with her request, it was almost like a passing comment and she realized it was impossible.

Iris pursed her lips. "He is already crippled, it will not be difficult for you to do so." There was a hint of hatefulness when she mentioned Kellan’s disability. "You can take him down easily."

"He is already crippled, you will be able to take him down easily yourself." Cane fished out something from his cloak and put it in her hand. "From what I heard, he can’t shift into his beast."
