The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567: I DON’T LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW

Everyone was shocked to see Iris’ defiant side. Even Cane was not an exception, though his mind was not in the right headspace. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

This was the first time he received a ’no’ from Iris so firmly. She tried her hardest to stand her ground and he could see how much she suppressed her fear when she defied him, even so, she was stubborn to back down and oblige him.

Iris balled her fists, she waited for Cane’s next response or what he was going to say when she openly rejected his order in front of his people.

Other alphas would have beaten one to death if their woman so much as made a refusal to a direct order, especially when it happened in front of the other pack members. It was almost like a slap to the Alpha’s face to have someone challenge their command.

Iris realized that too late, but she was desperate because Cane didn’t want to listen to her. She bit her lip nervously and when Cane walked toward her, she lowered her head. She flinched hard as he kept walking closer. Would he hit her?

She would be lashed whenever she had dared enough to disregard an order, her body still remembered that, which made her hunch her shoulders and flinch, waiting for the pain, as she closed her eyes.

However, the pain didn’t come, instead it was Cane’s harsh voice from behind her that made Iris open her eyes again.

"Where is that boy?!" Cane growled impatiently.

"Ah..." Iris immediately approached Cane with the little girl’s spirit close to her. She went to the collapsed building and looked at the spirit.

Ethan approached Aliana after witnessing that intense moment. They thought Cane would lose it on Iris and do something unforgivable, it crossed their minds because of the look on the Alpha’s face, even more since Iris crossed a line she shouldn’t. It was an unwritten rule to not let down a direct order from the Alpha, especially in public. It was a humiliation.

"I think this will be their first fight, right?" Aliana asked Ethan, who was standing by her side.

"Yes, I guess so and the Luna managed to get out of the predicament unscathed." Ethan frowned. "If it was me, I would have been chewed out by him."

"I don’t think the Alpha likes the taste of your flesh." Aliana then added when Ethan gave her a look. "I am just saying."

The spirit of the little girl looked around the ruins with a sad face, as she started to walk carefully, trying to figure out where her brother was.

Meanwhile, Iris appeared to only stand by the side, staring into the distance, as if she was thinking of something. Cane stood by her side in silence, as he didn’t push her to prove what she said.

It was the other people who were standing by the side that looked so confused with this. What was the Luna doing? Why didn’t she move and only stand there after the fuss she made?

"What is the Luna doing?" Asher asked Kian in a low voice, they had been digging the ruins for some time now but couldn’t find anything. They couldn’t even smell any other scent but blood in the air, and this scorching hot afternoon didn’t help them at all to keep their cool.

"I don’t know." Kian shook his head, but his eyes fell on the Alpha and the Luna, seemingly there was an invisible tension between the two of them.

After about twenty minutes, the spirit of the little girl stopped roaming around the area and squatted down, as she sobbed softly.

’Zale... my brother is here...’ She sobbed.

Iris approached her and Cane moved along with her, even though he didn’t say anything. She squatted down next to the spirit. "The boy is here."

Cane held Iris’ elbow and pulled her to stand up, so the warriors could dig that spot. The Alpha didn’t have the same questions as the others, nor did he doubt her. He simply disliked the fact she was exposed to danger.
