The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

Chapter 280: IT’S TIME

Redmond was against this idea, he was adamant about leaving Iris out of this crazy plan, but she was the sole factor that could make this plan work.

He was so pissed to see how Iris was so eager to throw her life in danger to agree with this. He could see how badly Iris was trying to please the Alpha. She was so willing to help him with whatever he requested of her. She looked like a people pleaser right now, because she was afraid these people would abandon her if she didn’t have any use for them.

Redmond could see this pattern in Iris, where she always looked for assurance from people around her and was willing to bend over her back to please them. He hated this attitude of hers the most.

Especially toward Cane. His words and his view were very important to her.

That was how Redmond saw Iris and all he wanted for her to have was a little bit of backbone to reject being part of such a dangerous plan.

"Will you kill yourself if he one day he says you to do so?" Redmond asked scornfully, as he watched the Alpha shift into his lycan form. It looked painful and he grimaced when he heard the sound of cracking bones. This was the first time he watched Cane’s transformation and Redmond was still bitter about being part of this dark secret of his. "You must value your life also, you know."

Ethan, who heard that, scoffed. "You need to stop lecturing her, you know. You demand her to grow up and be strong, but you treat her like a child." The warrior gave him a side eye. "Part of growing up is making your own decisions and facing the consequences. Stop nagging at her, she has endured as much hardship as the rest of us."

On the other hand, Iris paid no mind to their squabbling and approached the lycan, as the creature looked so grim when he saw her between Redmond and Ethan. He barred his teeth and let out a dangerous growl.

Seeing how Iris was about to approach the lycan, Redmond instinctively wanted to stop her, but Ethan pulled him back before he could grab her.

"She is not a child and the lycan will tear you apart if you touch her," Ethan warned him sternly.

Redmond should have learned his lesson when Cane was under the influence of black magic that was instigated by Aria the last time. How the lycan was so fond of Iris and wouldn’t let anything happen to her. The lycan would kill anyone, friend or foe, if they as much as touched a strand of her hair.

It was not Iris who they needed to be concerned about, but it was them that should be worried about their own safety from the lycan.

Redmond grumbled, but he dropped the matter and let Iris approach the lycan. He still remembered how he almost died the last time he fought off this beast. After all, this cursed creature had killed a thousand beasts by himself.

Meanwhile, Iris went to the lycan and caressed its head, as the creature nuzzled against her hand. She was no longer afraid of him and from what she learned from Cane’s explanation, he would still have a clear grip over the lycan when he shifted during the new moon, whenever she was there as well.

It was safe to say that the lycan was still Cane in a sense, though he had a different form from his wolf.

"Should we do it now?" Iris turned around to look at Redmond and Ethan. Will was not there with them. He knew about this plan, but he was not part of it for some reason. Cane didn’t allow him to get involved in this mission and Iris didn’t ask why.

"I think it’s time," Ethan said.

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

Lady Cyan came to the East Palace, where Princess Osana lived. She went there under a guise, because she didn’t want anyone to know she came here to tend to the cursed princess.

The corridor was long, but even from afar, Cyan and her ladies could hear the sound of Osana’s screaming voice that echoed through the walls.

The sound of it was nerve- racking and made one feel horror in their heart. The sound came not only from the place of pain, but also agony and anguish. Just what kind of torture was the Princess going through right now?

They were terrified. It was not confirmed yet if a disease borne out of black magic could be infectious, but they were afraid they could catch something ominous just by standing close to the Princess’s bedroom.

However, they couldn’t disobey their master.

On the other hand, Cyan didn’t bother about such thoughts, because she knew black magic and this one was a mere curse. She was a dark witch as well, she had practiced dark magic for so long with her younger brother.

With steady steps and a hoodie that covered her face, she walked down the corridor with her four ladies.

"All of you can leave," Sarah said, once they were right in front of the Princess’s bedroom. She dismissed all the guards there.

These royal guards knew the identity of the woman hiding under the hoodie, thus they nodded politely and left, while the screaming and crying continued from behind the closed doors.

Cyan waved her hand and the door opened, and when she stepped inside, the door got closed on its own, as the screaming sound died down. People from outside the door couldn’t hear anything, but the screams continued inside the bedroom.

Right now, this room was covered by magic and there was only Cyan and Osana inside.

"Cyan! CYAN! Please, do something! Do something!" Osana was screaming her heart out when she saw Cyan, but she couldn’t approach her because both her arms and legs had been tied up, so she couldn’t scratch herself.

The rumor about her bleeding on her own bed was not completely wrong and her skin being peeled off was not a false rumor either.

But, one thing that they missed was the fact that princess Osana had been scratching herself to the point it ruined her skin, even her healing ability as a shifter couldn’t help her.
