The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 417: THE TITLE OF THE MISTRESS

Chapter 417: THE TITLE OF THE MISTRESS

It didn’t take long for Maria and all the omegas, who worked in the kitchen, to gather there. They wondered why they were called over, but immediately quieted down when they saw their alpha’s dark expression.

But, despite that, it was the Alpha himself who served a cup of tea for his mate, who had been very quiet all this time.

Cane glanced at her briefly, but he couldn’t figure out what was going on inside that pretty head of hers. He couldn’t read her expression, which was devoid of any emotion. This fact alone bothered him.

Around forty omegas stood before the Alpha, waiting anxiously to learn the reason they were called here. They could sense something was completely wrong with this whole situation. The tension in the air was very suffocating.

And when the Alpha finally swept his dark gaze over all of them, they felt their hearts stop beating. The Alpha was crazy angry. If not mad enraged. They lowered their heads even more, until their chins touched their chests. The three omegas, who confronted the Luna until a few moments ago, were no exception either.

Aira and the other two felt self conscious. They realized they had crossed their boundaries as omegas by criticizing their luna rudely.

"Is there something you want to say about the arrangements the Luna made for the dinner with the royal family?" Cane asked, he was firm, as his voice echoed in this quiet kitchen.

Jace himself could feel how thick the air was right now. The tension was so real. The Alpha was mad because of the disrespect the pack members had constantly shown to Iris.

Never in his wild dreams did he think Cane would be so livid like this because of Iris.

No, Ethan indeed didn’t exaggerate Cane’s affection toward Iris, because the Beta had never seen the Alpha would be so mad at his pack members like this. He tended to not make a fuss over small mistakes and made it clear what he liked and disliked, but he never gave off a threatening aura like he did right now.

Jace carefully recalled his actions toward Iris, just in case, he got on the Alpha’s bad side without him knowing it...

On the other hand, half of the omegas were still confused, but some of them knew what the problem was, especially Maria. Her heart skipped a beat, realizing what this was about. She squeezed her hands anxiously and her heart dropped to her stomach when Jill raised her hand to voice out her opinion.

Cane’s dark eyes fell on the said omega.

Maria tried to tug at her sleeve, reminding her as usual how inappropriate it was. Among all the omegas there, Jill was the person who was particularly vocal about her dislike toward Iris. If she spoke all of the things she said to her, Maria was afraid she would be punished severely.

Unfortunately, the young omega didn’t believe the Alpha would do that to his pack member for a woman like Iris. She was a runt and deaf, someone who was not a match for the Alpha.

"Alpha, the Luna is intentionally excluding Lady Sofia from the party," Jill started, raising her head. For an omega, she was quite brave. It was a pity, she was not really sharp to read the room. "We only asked her to reconsider the arrangement because Lady Sofia will be so sad if she can’t attend."

"Lady Sofia?" Cane narrowed his eyes at her choice of words, which made the omega cower. "Since when did she become a lady of this pack?"

The title was for the mistress of the Alpha and they assumed she was one of Cane’s mistresses, since it went without saying, she was carrying the Alpha’s firstborn.

"She is pregnant with your child, Alpha... so..." Jill bit her lip, she felt dreadful and under the pressure when the Alpha stared at her so intensely like this. Her voice trailed off.

"Who told you to address her as such?" Cane stood next to Iris, who was still sitting on the chair, she seemed to have tuned out her surroundings. Without her looking at them, there was no way for her to know what they were talking about.

The only thing she knew was, Cane was mad. He reprimanded them on her behalf, but then what? No matter how brilliant Cane was, he couldn’t make them like her, especially by punishing them. It would only fuel their dislike toward her even more...

Iris felt like she was walking on eggshells in this pack. People would hate her no matter what she did. Whether she stood up for herself or Cane was the one who did it, it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t see her as part of them.

One of the reasons why she wanted Cane to stay away from this.

"Sir Kaz... Sir Kaz told us to be respectful to la- to Sofia," Aira replied, because Jill couldn’t find her voice anymore, as she was so afraid to utter even a single word under the Alpha’s sharp eyes.

Hearing that, Cane turned his attention to Jace again. "Call Kaz here and a few warriors."

"Yes, Alpha." Jace was not sure why he wanted a few warriors to be there, but he knew Kaz would need an excellent explanation to douse the Alpha’s rage.

Meanwhile, the silence inside the kitchen was very suffocating, they thought they would lose their voices if this continued.

The only sound they could hear was the crackling firewood in the firepit, which made the room become so warm, they started sweating, yet they didn’t even dare to wipe their sweat off, as they stared at the floor solemnly.

It didn’t take long for Kaz to enter the kitchen, followed by two warriors. One of them was Stone and the other was Avid. Grilla and Amee came as well when they heard the Alpha called all the omegas that worked in the kitchen.

"Alpha." Kaz approached Cane, he looked around him and fear crept up his skin, as he didn’t know what was waiting for him, since Beta Jace didn’t say anything.

"You put that woman in the Luna’s bedroom and then you told everyone to call her ’Lady’?
