The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT

It was so hectic in the past three days. The scouts found more and more false clues about the lycan’s whereabouts, even though some of those clues were not the ones Cane had prepared for them. It seemed those scouts were desperate to find anything that could lead them to the lycan, thus they tossed in everything together that they thought could be a clue to find the creature, which led them astray from their main purpose.

Not to mention Prince Kellan basked himself in the attention from the people of the cities and towns nearby. After all, his name spread wide and far, as a kind and wise prince, especially after he took in five orphans, so they could be taken care of better in his orphanage. People sang his name and praised him to the moon and back, highlighting how generous and pure his heart was to help those poor children.

The five new orphans that he took in were around the age of four to nine years old, comprising three girls and two boys, who looked at the Prince with some sort of admiration, which made Cane feel sick to his stomach.

But, with so many people around him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything outrageous. At least, not yet...

Therefore, when he returned to the capital city with Koda and the warriors from the Red Claw pack, he left half of the royal warriors behind with the pretext they could help Prince Kellan, since it was him who had asked the Prince to come along with them. On the surface, the Alpha looked like he felt responsible for that.

Once they entered the palace, they were immediately ushered to the King’s study room by the guards, where they spent hours talking about a few things, especially about the Red Claw pack, as the King demanded them to continue to deliver the magic stones, but Koda kept saying the current Alpha of the Red Claw pack was the one who had the last say in this matter.

When the meeting finally ended without any decision being made, Cane wanted to leave to the orphanage straight away, since the last report he received was; Iris stayed in the orphanage ever since he left the capital city.

However, a guard approached him to tell him that his mate was actually waiting for him in their chamber.

It was weird, since this guard was not part of his pack and it was not usual for Iris to call for him by sending a royal guard instead.

Anyhow, Cane went to their chamber and found the red-haired woman sitting on the bed, reading the book on her lap.

"Iris?" Cane called her, but she didn’t turn around. Of course, she was not able to hear him, right?

The Alpha approached Iris and looked at the book she was holding. It was the book about all the packs in this kingdom. Cane remembered the latest topic Iris had been reading about was the Holy Kingdom.

There was something wrong with the whole situation.

"Cane!" Iris was startled when she saw Cane standing next to her, only now she noticed someone was near her, because she was lost in thought about what she was reading. Her smile looked brilliant and her blue eyes lit up at the sight of her mate.

For a second, Cane felt he was being a little bit paranoid. Iris was here. His mate was smiling at him, but here he was, doubting her.

"How was your journey? Are you okay?"
