The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: SHE IS A KIND WOMAN

The poem was carved meticulously, it must have taken so much effort to carve such a long poem on the root of this huge tree.

"I read that it is your pack tradition to carve a poem on the tombstone of your deceased loved ones." Iris was not sure whether Cane heard her or not at this moment, because his eyes were fixed on the poem that she carved on the root years ago. "I didn’t read many books about poems. This is the only poem that I can find and I thought it has a beautiful meaning."

Iris tried to explain herself, she was afraid that the poem was not to his liking or she offended him in some way, because Cane didn’t say anything after reading it.

Was he angry at her? She couldn’t say that for sure. The alpha was unpredictable and hard to read.

"I collected their ashes inside an urn and buried it beneath the tree." Because Iris was nervous, she started to talk in more detail about this. "I heard that you are planning to move back to the pack house of the Howling Wolf pack, so I thought I need to let you know about this, just in case you want to take them back home," she explained.

Take them back to their home...

Cane felt a mixture of bitterness and longing that he couldn’t explain. He felt like he was on the edge of desperation. This was the last thing that he thought could happen to him.

Taking them back...

They would love to go home again after being so far away from home for so long.

"Leave me alone," Cane said. His eyes were still fixed on the poem that Iris carved on the root.

The chain will link again...

"Okay, I will wait for you in the carriage," Iris said, understanding that he needed some alone time. She didn’t wish to disturb him from having this moment.

Therefore, she stood up and trudged down the hill, leaving him alone there.

"Why is the alpha still up there?" Will asked when he saw Iris return alone, while the alpha was still in the same position.

"He needs some alone time," Iris said, which made Will furrow his brows.

He had never heard the alpha needing some alone time before this and he wanted to know what actually happened, but he immediately realized that this question was not appropriate before he could voice it.

Iris climbed into the carriage and waited for Cane to return. She closed her eyes and felt so tired after letting him know the truth.
