The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: AN ANGEL

Aria got irritated when she heard about what happened to Iris last night. The reason for her annoyance was that she was trying to look good in front of other people by helping them out in their time of need.

But on the other hand, Aria was too shaken up from that attack and had locked herself in her bedroom. She ran to the underground shelter when she heard about the monster attack and stayed there with the others.

She had been staying in her bedroom, recovering from the shock, but out there, Iris was trying to play luna with everyone.

She was glad that someone snapped at her and put her in her place, but the fact that she helped them didn’t sit well with her.

Therefore, today she forced herself to get out of the bed and helped around the tent, though she was so reluctant to look after these people and she had been talking about how Iris didn’t come today because Avid had made her pretense fall.

However, they said Iris’ absence was because the alpha ordered her to go to the mines.

And here she was again...

"What are you doing here?!" Aria approached her with long strides, her eyes ablaze with anger at the sight of Iris. "Who do you think you are to be here!?"

Iris flinched when she was reprimanded openly in front of so many people. She didn’t like to be the center of attention, especially in this kind of situation.

"Go away!" Aria said loudly and viciously. "Nobody wants you here!" She looked around her and was satisfied because she had gathered a lot of attention. "Do you really think that by helping us now you can make us like you!?"

Iris looked around her and the fierce gazes that they sported her made her panic. So much hatred and hostility radiated from them and she found herself hyperventilating.

In order to not escalate the situation, Iris decided to go from the scene. She came here because she wanted to help them, but it seemed her presence was not welcomed at all.

However, that was a wrong move, since Aria didn’t want to let it slide. She got the audience and the attention that she wanted, this was a perfect place to humiliate her.

If she couldn’t torture her, at least, she could make people hate her even more. They needed to remember how they lost their families and how their lives were in the past ten years.

"I am not done yet!" Aria grabbed her arm and turned her around. Her grip was so strong. She was a shifter after all, thus it was not easy to free herself from her. "Do you really think you are the luna and now you are trying to act like one!? Do you really think we have forgotten what your father had put us through the last ten years?! How many times do we have to grieve like this because our family, friends, and mates were killed by your cold blooded father and brother?!"

Aria knew how to stir the situation, she rode the grievances of the people here, who lost their precious ones during the attack a few nights ago and channeled it to their former hatred and grievances of what they had to endure, the unfairness and abuse that they suffered under the hands of alpha Gerald and Mason, also the five alphas.

It didn’t take long before the situation became so tense as they started cursing at Iris. They vented out their sadness, sorrow and hardships on her, since it was easier for them to have someone to blame for all the misfortunes that they had to suffer.

And Iris was the perfect target.

"She is pretending to be nice to you because she wants to get your sympathy! Do you really think she is doing this out of the kindness of her heart?!" Aria felt enthusiastic to feel the negative emotions from the people around her. She could use this to make them rally behind her. "Do you really believe that she has kindness in her heart?! She is the daughter of Alpha Gerald, the very same person that enslaved us for a decade!"

Iris tried to free her hand from Aria’s grip, but she was too strong and she felt like she bruised her wrist by now with how strongly she held her.

But then, she felt sharp pain on her shoulder, she shrieked and found out someone had hurled a rock at her.

"Your father killed my mate!" A young man glared at Iris. He was the one who had hurled the rock at her. "How can you still be alive and well?!"

And then another rock hit Iris’ forehead this time. "Your brother killed my son!"

And that one reaction caused a series of reactions from the people around them, as they did the same thing, they picked up rocks and hurled them at Iris.

Seeing how the situation escalated, Aria felt ecstatic. Her eyes were so bright when she finally took a step back and watched how people around them hurled rocks at Iris, while shouting their grievances.

They were not mentally stable, as they had to lose their family members or had their precious ones injured, thus it was easy to provoke them and make them direct their hatred at Iris.

"Your brother raped my daughter!"

"Your father killed my entire family! You should have died along with your father!"

"Go to hell with your wicked father!"

"You are a useless bitch! You should be whipped until you die!"

"I don’t want to breathe the same air as you!"

"You will never be our luna!"

"Even after your father died, he still tortured us! You are not a luna for me! Go to hell!"

"Why should you torture the alpha by making him take you as his luna!? You don’t deserve him!"

"You should be quartered like what your father did to my father!"

There were so many insults and curses that were thrown at Iris, but there were more rocks that were hurled in her direction.
