The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382: A LESSON TO LEARN

Later that night, after Iris and Cane had their dinner, they talked for a bit before the exhaustion hit Iris. It was a long day for her, a tired one at that, since she went through a lot of turmoil and everything that happened in the span of the last two days had drained her emotionally. All she needed right now was a good sleep.

Cane was there to hold her when she drifted into her slumber, patting her back in soothing motion, as he occasionally kissed her head.

He didn’t think he had completely gotten her back, as she was in so much pain and it would take her more time to heal, but sometimes, there was a wound that couldn’t be healed no matter how long you endured it. You would have to live with it and it was fine... as the pain would remind you how you had survived to this point.

He wished nothing for her, but to be strong, in her mind, in her heart, because she would need that strength to go through what would come later.

Once Iris had fallen asleep and her breathing evened out, Cane slowly detached himself from her and got off the bed. He made sure she was covered with a blanket warmly because she had low tolerance to coldness before he kissed her forehead and walked out of the bedroom.

His beta had been waiting for him there.

Jace looked anxious and kept frowning at him, he stared at Cane weirdly, as if he was going to say something, but didn’t know how to voice out his concern.

"Did you come here to stare at me?" Cane asked, he folded his arms in front of his chest, leaning his back against the door behind him. His beta was acting weirdly. "Something bad is going on?"

Jace shook his head and continued with the report about the condition with the other four packs and the pack member’s reaction upon hearing their alphas had been executed for engaging in dark magic.

Those pack members’ reaction was more or less the same as the Riverside pack members, they didn’t really mourn the death of their alphas, only became a little bit anxious about what Cane was going to do and what would happen to them.

They were not worried about who would become the next alpha and lead the pack, because after a long winter, they were facing something more concerning. Winter resulted in famine throughout the region and these five alphas did nothing to help them and now when the winter passed, they needed to bury their family members and fight for their own lives to survive.

That was why they dreaded what would happen to them next with the change of power within the pack, not actually really caring about their dead alphas.
