The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: APPRECIATION

People stole a glance at Iris with a mixed expression. They thought Joel’s request was out of the line, especially after what happened yesterday and how Iris refused to help Kaz and the others to get out of the trouble with the Alpha.

They had heard how Iris had taught some of the warriors how to read and write, but because most of the people in the pack house didn’t interact with the warriors constantly, the fact was subconsciously pushed to the back of their minds.

They knew it, but didn’t think much about it, just like how they knew Iris had helped them tremendously and went far and beyond for them during their darkest times. They just overlooked it so easily again.

However, seeing the interaction between Joel and Iris, they felt like someone just poured cold water on them. They didn’t know what to feel, as they lowered their heads.

Meanwhile, Iris couldn’t care less about them, because she wanted to find Hanna and ask her to get her and Cane breakfast, because on second thought, she didn’t really want to go to the kitchen again, especially after she saw Maria.

"Joel, have you seen Hanna? I am looking for her," Iris said, as she and Joel walked away. The young boy looked so excited to learn new things from the Luna, even the way he walked almost looked like he was jumping up and down.

"Oh, I saw Hanna going to the market early this morning," Joel said. He bumped into her when he was about to go to the pack house and Hanna wanted to go out.

"Oh." Iris was a little bit disappointed, as she thought she needed to go to the kitchen by herself.

"Do you need help with anything, Luna?" Joel asked, seeing how Iris’ expression changed. "Tell me what you need, I think I will be able to help."

"No, it’s..." Iris didn’t know how to bring this up. "I want to get some breakfast for Cane and I," she finally said.

She didn’t think going to the dining hall was a good idea, where she might meet a lot of people. The last thing she wanted was to be crowded by the people who always judged her.

"Why don’t you..." Joel was about to blurt out why she couldn’t ask for other omegas or servants to serve her, but then he remembered what happened the night before and stopped himself. "I will get you breakfast, Luna, don’t worry, is there some specific food that you want?" He looked excited to help and this made Iris feel a little bit better.

"No." Iris shook her head, but then she remembered. "Can you bring more meat?" Cane was a meat eater.

"I will bring all the meat!" Joel said expressively, which made Iris chuckle a little. "You can go back to your room, Luna, I will deliver it to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you." Iris truly appreciated his kind gesture and returned to the Alpha’s study room, and thankfully, Maria was no longer there, but the two guards were still standing in the same spots. They nodded politely to her when she walked past them, yet, Iris couldn’t care less about their existence.

It almost felt like her personality took a one hundred eighty right after she finished talking to Joel.

Once inside the room, she found Cane was still sleeping. He still had his body curled in the same position when Iris left him. How could he sleep without moving at all?

Slowly, Iris came to him and sat down next to the Alpha, she extended her hand and caressed his soft hair. He seemed to notice her presence as he snuggled closer to her touch, though he was still sleeping at this moment and this made Iris smile.

"Cane, come back to me, please. I am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you." Iris ran her fingers on the scar on his face. He looked so beautiful even with the scar.

From the window, the sunlight filtered through the glass into the room, which created an array of light that looked so beautiful with the dust swirling in the air. Iris stared at the sight, deep in thought. She remembered her conversation with Haco from last night.

But, she was snapped back from her reverie when Cane suddenly woke up and sat down, his face contorted, as his eyes fixed on something, or someone at the door.

"What happened?" Iris was startled and out of instinct, she followed Cane’s line of sight to the door and found Joel, Avid, Eron and Dyne entering the room.

Iris knew Eron and Dyne because the two of them came with Cane to the capital city and they were also assigned by the Alpha to be her personal guards during their time in the Riverside pack.

The four of them came, while carrying a few trays with them and Joel didn’t look happy with it.
