The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 167: FIRST KISS

Chapter 167: FIRST KISS

"It was a stage! In order to strip Kellan from his position and smear his name!" Mason spoke through his gritted teeth. He glared at Cane viciously, as he curled on the dirty ground because he stabbed his thigh again, which was now bleeding profusely.

"What was their deal?" Cane asked, walking back to the fireplace to heat the iron rod again. The sight of it alone made Mason sick.

"I don’t know! What do you think an eighteen year old boy knows about their deal?!"

As the only heir to the Alpha title of one’s pack, at the age of eighteen years, you would find yourself involved in many things and have long familiarized yourself with a lot of aspects that you would inherit sooner or later, especially things like a long term plan for the pack.

At the age of eighteen, an heir should be able to have a voice of opinion and learn about most of the deals within the pack, they would also be included in decision making.

However, it seemed, that was not the case with Mason, because he was very ignorant about all of that, but then, after ten years of observation, Cane didn’t find it really surprising.

"So, you want to say that the King was involved in the attack on my pack ten years ago?" Cane asked languidly, as he poked at the firewood with the rod.

Cane remembered that his pack was overpowered at that time, but based on what he knew, there was no way Gerald’s warriors alone could outnumber them. He must have gotten outside help.

And his best guess was the King’s royal warriors.

Mason scoffed. "No way. My father conquered your pack with our own warriors! He conquered your measly pack by himself!" He said proudly.

Cane glanced at Mason over his shoulder and could tell that he was genuinely bragging about what he believed to be true. It was either he was right, or he was completely ignorant about the whole thing, but Cane was more inclined toward the latter.

"What about Iris’ mother? Why did she die?" Cane asked again. There was no official report about her death. It only said; one day she got sick and then died. It was ridiculous, since a shifter wouldn’t die just by getting sick. It was even a rare case to find a shifter getting sick.

"She got sick and then died," Mason said simply.

Hearing that, Cane closed his eyes. He wasted his time here. Even though there was a possibility of Mason trying to hide the truth, for someone as observant as Cane, not to mention how overly conscientious and cautious he was, his words seemed believable.

Gerald didn’t let his son delve too deeply into his dirty plans, knowing his personality. In the end, that old man was very cunning and vigilant, even with his own son.

"Do you know any living family from Iris’ mother’s side?"

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

Iris laughed at the story that Ethan told everyone, as they surrounded him, eagerly listening to his story from his youth, the time when the Howling Wolf pack was still under Cane’s father’s reign.

He was a good storyteller.

"...I saved the beauty and she gave me a kiss on my left cheek! That can be said as my first kiss, right?" Ethan looked at them smugly.

"It wouldn’t count if it’s not on the lips!" Joel sneered at him.

"You brat! What do you know about that? You are only fourteen!" A devilish smile tugged at the corners of Ethan’s lips, which was not a good thing. "Say! Have you kissed someone already?"

"What are you talking about?" Joel rose to his feet and his face turned red.

There was an uproar as everyone started laughing at Joel’s reaction and how red his face became, as they teased him mercilessly.

Iris couldn’t help but laugh at how Joel was trying to explain himself, that he had never kissed anyone before and how he was waiting for his destined mate.

"You have never kissed anyone, but have you ever been kissed by someone?" Ethan didn’t let it go easily, as he drove the young warrior to exasperation. "Be honest with us! We can give you a few tips!"

"No!" Joel howled. "You are smearing my name in front of the Luna!"

At times like this, they could forget about every gruesome thing that they had gone through during their slavery days, as if those were only part of a long nightmare.

They could tease the young Joel about his pure and innocent first kiss.

To think about that, Iris herself had never been kissed and had never kissed anyone before. They had done the deed, but it was out of pure carnal desire, a physical thing and it was always painful for her.

However, to see how Joel was so bashful when they talked about the first kiss, Iris became curious. How would it feel to be kissed so innocently like that?

"Miss Iris! You are here?! I have been looking for you for hours!" Hanna entered the kitchen with her lips pursed. She looked like she was about to cry.

Only then Iris remembered that she had left the bedroom without telling her anything when she went to fetch hot chocolate for both of them.

"Oh, I am sorry," Iris said regretfully.

"I thought something happened to you." Hanna went to hug Iris and then chatted with the other omegas. She knew every one of them, even Joel looked like they had met a few times already. "Don’t disappear like that again!"

Iris was a little bit jealous how easy it was for Hanna to blend with the other people. She too really wanted to be like that, but she didn’t know what to say to prolong a conversation.

After chatting for some time, Iris and Hanna went back to her room.

Iris waved at them and they asked her to visit the kitchen whenever she felt hungry. This gesture lifted up her mood slightly, knowing they wanted to chat with her in the future.

But, on the way to her room, Iris met with Cane and Will.

"Walk with me," Cane said casually.
