The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: BAD WOLF ALPHA

Lady Cyan was a very graceful and reserved woman, albeit no longer being a young maiden, her beauty was enough to leave any man smitten. There was something in her that would make you want to just lower your head and succumb to her. She emanated a mysterious aura and the way she carried herself was something that even the Queen couldn’t pull off.

People looked more careful around her, even the King kept his act together and appeared more vigilant, while the brazen crown prince stood at the back of them, his head down, like a little child who just got an earful.

That was how Cane saw the whole situation, even the atmosphere was slightly amiss with the presence of Lady Cyan.

However, the Lady in question had her eyes on Iris, she observed the auburn girl calmly, so as not to raise any suspicion.

Among all the people who attended, Lou was also one of them because he was considered as an important figure and also, more or less, involved in this whole mess.

Iris squeezed Cane’s hand because she felt suffocated by all the attention that these people showered her with. She was fighting the urge to flee from this place.

She almost felt like she went back to the day she was introduced as Cane’s slave to welcome the King and the Alphas, where she stood naked in front of so many people, as they humiliated her. She felt like the humiliation would come very soon, once she failed to do her task, which didn’t help her feel any more confident.

Iris breathed erratically, she was panicking.

"How can your mate help with this?" King Aeon asked after exchanging a few arbitrary words with Cane.

It had been confirmed that the dead witch had used black magic before she died and the needle she used to stab Cane further solidified the claim, thus it would be too much and hilarious if the King insisted that the Alpha was the one who used black magic instead.

Even the Crown Prince couldn’t persist with the same accusation either. After all, it would only make him look more stupid, mirroring what Ethan said earlier.

"Let the leader of the royal sorcerers check for traces of black magic on me," Cane said, as he looked at the old sorcerer, who had hung his head so low.

Their encounter this morning must have left him in a difficult position, since the dark witch came from his ranks. His position was at stake now.

"Go," King Aeon said irritably, following which the old sorcerer immediately scrambled to Cane’s side to check on him.

He confirmed the traces of black magic on him after a thorough examination, which took more than ten minutes. It was not so easy to trace black magic, unless it triggered a fatal reaction, just like in Princess Osana’s case.

"Can you tell what the witch put in me with the needle she stabbed me?"

A complicated look flitted past the old sorcerer’s eyes. "I am not sure. The needle must be a media..." he trailed off.

However, Cane didn’t expect him to explain it thoroughly, he only wanted people to see how incapable the head of the royal sorcerer was.

"Did you bring it with you?" Cane asked Iris instead and she nodded, as she fished out the white dagger he had given her before he left. "Do it now."

Iris knew what she had to do, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it again. Her hands were shaking.

Seeing that, Cane held her hand to calm her down. "It’s okay." And he simply mouthed the next few words, thus no one else could understand what he was saying. "You did it before, you can do it now."
