The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: YOU HAVE SO MANY SCARS

Iris didn’t suffer any serious injuries, aside from her scraped knee that was bleeding, because Aria pushed her to the ground. Hanna was more than capable of taking care of the wound.

However, Iris had been very quiet. She didn’t say anything and clutched her dress tightly.

"I will return the cloak to Stone later after I wash it, okay?" Hanna tried to coax her to speak, but Iris didn’t say anything. She closed her eyes, seemingly fell asleep, but her tensed shoulders told her that she was wide awake.

But around midnight, Iris fell unconscious, she got a fever again and because tomorrow she needed to be with Cane to send off the king and the five alphas, Grace was called over to take a look at her.

Meanwhile, the rumors out there started to circulate, they talked about how the alpha had taken Iris as his luna and how he had marked her. _{freewebnøvel.com}

At first, Cane didn’t want anyone to know that Iris had been marked. He didn’t even have a plan to use her that way at all and was still trying to figure out a better way to announce it to the people.

But now, rumors about it had spread and people were talking about how Iris bore his mark. There was nothing to hide anymore.

Yet, it was either that, or him losing the Blue Moon pack. The resources of this pack were too great to let them fall into the king’s hands and the hatred was too deep to let those people be free.

Grace had learned what had happened and reluctantly looked after her, because it was not about Iris alone. If something happened to her now, the whole pack would be implicated and their pack would be in a more vulnerable state because they didn’t have the footing to hold onto Blue Moon pack.

The Howling Wolf pack was not in a good condition and they needed to fund everything that had been destroyed and to make the economy of the pack run smoothly again.

"Do you want me to heal her scars too?" Grace frowned when she saw the scars on Iris’ back. From the looks of it, none were new scars, but how could she get those scars to begin with?

Hanna was wiping Iris’ body, so she could sleep comfortably when Cane and Grace entered the room and she didn’t have enough time to dress her missy up, which left her bare back fully exposed.

"Yes, do it," Cane replied. It made no difference to him whether her scars were fully healed or not. She was still Iris Lane, there was no change in that fact.

Grace let Hanna wipe Iris’ body down and only then she used her healing magic to heal the scars, yet she realized something was wrong. She frowned deeply and put down her hand to see that her scars did not heal at all.

"Why?" Grace muttered under her breath when she couldn’t heal the scars. They should have been healed by now, but the scars were still there.

Cane stared at Iris’ back and knew why Grace was at a loss for words. The healer tried again and the result was still the same. She couldn’t heal the scars.

"How could this happen?"

At first, Hanna was too distracted to make her missy more comfortable, but then she realized the healer was being stunned and what the reason for her reaction was.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Missy’s body is resistant to healing power," Hanna explained, as she wiped Iris’ face with a warm towel.

"What do you mean she is resistant?" Grace couldn’t accept that logic.

"Her scars can’t be healed by magic."

"Why?"

"I don’t know." Hanna shook her head and then told her and the alpha that in the past, how Iris was severely injured, but the most that the healing magic could do was to stop her bleeding, as for her recovery, she needed to use herbs. Her body didn’t respond to some healing power. "Here, she still has the scar when she cut her finger when she touched a sharp shard of glass."

Hanna raised Iris’ hand and on her left palm, there was a scar, which was only an inch long.

"Is she resistant to silver too?" Cane couldn’t help but ask Hanna, since she knew a lot about this runt. This thought just came to his mind.

"Resistant to silver?" Hanna blinked her eyes, she tried to think about it. "I don’t know about that, because Miss Iris has never encountered silver before."

Both Hanna and Grace looked at each other, since they didn’t know why the alpha asked that.

"Why do you think her body is resistant to healing power?" Cane asked Grace. The more he knew about this runt, the more questions that he had.

"I am not sure about that," Grace muttered, she didn’t like it when she didn’t have the answer for a question that was directed at her. "Probably because she was born as a runt, so her body is built differently."

That could explain that, even the crossbreeds would have been hurt by silver and as far as Cane knew, both Iris’ parents were shifters, even though she was born as a runt.

"Take care of her, I want her to be able to see the king and the alphas before they set off tomorrow," Cane said and then walked out of the room, without waiting for the reply.

"Tomorrow?" Hanna was mortified. "Don’t you think that she needs to rest? She will not wake up tomorrow."

"I can make her wake up tomorrow," Grace said easily. She could make her wake up, but it didn’t mean the process would be free of pain.

Hanna’s tears streamed down her face again to think her missy would be in so much pain if they woke her up tomorrow.
