The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 585

Chapter 585: THE BIRTH OF THE DARK SOUL (2)

"Cane, seriously, something must have happened to Oliver," Ethan said when he just gave Cane a report as usual. Among the reports, he learned that Oliver had not yet reached the Riverside pack.

Meanwhile, Cane had just demoted the seven warriors, who failed to do their duty during the night one of the Silver Warriors sneaked into their bedroom, which caused the lycan to come out and take advantage of his mate.

The seven of them were demoted to guards, which meant, they were nothing but errand boys, of course, this was a humiliation for someone, who used to be the warriors of the pack, but they knew their mistake was very fatal, it was already great enough for them not to get a death punishment.

If Cane had been like the other alphas, their heads would have been hung on the spikes by the next day. Or, they would be begging for mercy, while being tortured in the dungeon. The other alphas had no regard for someone like them, because they could get as many warriors as they wanted and they were bound to oblige their alpha.

A demotion was nothing compared to the real punishment they deserved, still, they had to live the rest of their lives with this shame.

"Have they sent any people to look around the area?" Cane glanced at Ethan, as the two of them walked toward the pack house.

Argean and Grory got their first order from Cane and now they went to accomplish it. The situation with them was still in a gray area, because Cane couldn’t trust them a hundred percent yet. To be honest, he didn’t even have fifty percent trust in them.

They looked so polite and replied to him straightforwardly, which would make you lower your guard around them, but Cane had seen a lot of things like this. Mental warfare was not something new to him.

"Yes, but they couldn’t find him within the territory." Ethan might have had a fight with Oliver before he left to the Riverside pack, but he didn’t have any malicious intention toward him, after all it was only a matter of different perspective. He didn’t wish anything bad to happen to him either.

"Send a few people to the Riverside pack and track down the paths that Oliver might take." Cane’s expression didn’t change.

"Yes, right away." Ethan was about to leave when he remembered one more thing. "Ah, I forgot to mention this, because this letter is not directed to you."

Ethan fished out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Cane.

"That’s a letter from the same child in the orphanage who wrote to Iris weeks ago. I think Trion or someone had taught them how to use a hawk to deliver the letters since they are able to write and read now."

Cane saw small cursive words on the corner of the envelope. The handwriting was not neat, but you still could read it.

For lovely luna Iris.

That was what was written on the corner of the envelope.

Cane didn’t say anything for a moment, as he stared at the letter in his hand from the child in the orphanage. He didn’t think what Iris taught to these children or to his warriors could bring a tremendous difference.

Yes, the children wouldn’t be as resourceful as his warriors when they were still there, but still a little bit of information and a glimpse into what happened in the capital city would always be welcomed rather than knowing nothing, since he had ordered his people to withdraw from the capital city right after Alan sat on the throne.

However, Cane didn’t open the letter right away. It was directed to Iris, so it was only right for her to read the letter before anyone.

Cane went straight to their bedroom, but found it empty. He had told her to take a rest and now not only was she not sleeping, but she was not even in the bedroom.

"Where is the luna?" Cane asked one of the warriors, who then told him that Aliana and the luna’s personal warriors had been asking around about Zale’s whereabouts, so it was most likely that the luna had gone to see the young boy.

Without a second thought, Cane marched toward the warrior’s quarters, where Iris had gone with her little group of warriors he had assigned to protect her.

But it seemed, Iris had found another use for them...

===========================

Alan’s arms were shaking so badly when he stared at the creature in his arms. This creature was supposed to be a baby, but it didn’t have any facial expression. The baby didn’t even cry at all ever since he made his way out of his mother’s womb.
