The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 461: A TRAP (3)

Chapter 461: A TRAP (3)

Cane realized something was completely wrong the moment he heard his people were currently marching to the mountain not so long after Avid left.

"Who is leading them here?" Cane asked. He stared at Alpha Dristan, the aura around him changed all of a sudden, even Iris could feel the tension in the air and how suffocating the atmosphere was.

"I don’t know," Alpha Dristan said. He was stunned to see Cane right now, as if it finally hit him so hard. They had walked straight into a trap and at this moment, they put themselves into a dangerous situation. He shouldn’t have brought only two warriors with him.

He should have sensed that something was fishy when he saw how the royal warriors kept coming to join the hunt.

"I don’t know, the communication was cut off. That’s the last news I got. I think my warrior is too far for the mindlink to work," Alpha Dristan said, looking distressed. After all, he had only one warrior left with him, while Cane had nine. Even so, their numbers were ridiculously insignificant compared to the royal warriors that were now surrounding them.

"Or, he has been killed," Cane said in a callous tone, almost certain that was what happened.

Alpha Dristan’s jaw hardened when he heard that. He pushed aside his new mistress, as her presence didn’t help with the situation. "Do you have a plan to get out of this place?" He glanced at Iris. "You know this place so well, right? If things go out of hand, you must know how to get out of this mountain safely, right?"

This was the King that they were talking about, if the King decided to kill them right there and then, there was no way someone would be able to retaliate, without their alphas, the two packs would most likely fall into the King’s hands.

Not to mention the two of them were the Alphas of the only packs that had mines. Something that the King had been salivating to swallow.

This was a bad idea, Cane should have been more careful and mindful, but he had been reckless and a little bit distracted recently.

This was the reason why he couldn’t slack off, something slipped off his mind and he missed to see the signs, now it was their lives that were at stake.

He had been careless and did not think this matter carefully, and Lady Cyan took the advantage when he failed to see her plot.

Were those people the warriors the royal warriors managed to provoke successfully? But, Cane had faith in his people’s loyalty. Did he think of them too highly?

But, it had been just a day since it started, it was impossible to turn anyone this hostile with only a few words.

What was actually happening?

"Control your expression," Cane said curtly, before he turned around and walked away to talk with the nine warriors, who came with him.

If there was a possibility of Alpha Dristan’s man being killed, the same fate could befall Avid as well. He could be killed without being able to reach the pack house and warn someone of what happened here.

"Make a fire," Cane said to Dyne. The other warriors could sense the tension and noticed something was wrong with this whole situation.

They tried to ignore the few whispers from the royal warriors that kept provoking them even at a moment like this. They did it very subtly, so Cane didn’t know about that, since they rode with the other warriors behind him.

"But, it’s still afterno... yes, Alpha." Dyne immediately shut up when he saw Cane’s expression and did what he was told without asking anymore questions.

"What are you going to do?" Iris asked, but her eyes widened when she saw Cane cutting a lock of her curl. It was only a few strands of her hair, which wouldn’t make any difference for her, but... "What are you doing?"

Cane was too focused on what he was going to do, thus he didn’t answer her question and reached out to get the lizard from her pocket.

He grabbed the creature and tied Iris’ hair to its tail with a piece of cloth. He then fished a piece of meat from his pocket and put it in front of the lizard, but before the creature could eat it, the Alpha already tossed it to the fire.

Everything happened so fast, even the warriors around him couldn’t grasp what actually happened a moment ago when the lizard disappeared into the flames and Cane stomped his feet on the fire to put it off.

"Alpha, did you kill the lizard?" Eron asked, he squatted down, but he couldn’t see the remains of the lizard.

Yet, instead of an explanation, Cane told them to prepare themselves.

Probably, it was only Iris who understood what Cane had just done with the lizard, but she was not sure where the lizard would appear and who would find it.

And before long, ten minutes was up, they were ready to leave, but before that, the king asked Cane and Alpha Dristan to ride beside him, while lady Cyan rode behind them with Iris.

Eron shifted into his beast and gave up his horse for Iris, since she had to ride by herself.

"Dyne, can you ride with her?" Iris asked, nodding at Alpha Dristan’s new mistress. It seemed, the Alpha didn’t care much about her since his mind was now occupied with something more important. He actually let his mistress walk.

Dyne nodded obediently and came closer to the young woman. "Come with me, my luna asked for you to ride with me."

Dyne was glad Iris asked him, because he didn’t have a heart to see this young woman run behind them all day after Alpha Dristan abandoned her, especially when she looked like she was about to pass out seeing how pale her face was.

He knew how kind his luna was, but it still surprised him time and again witnessing how compassionate she could be.
