The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 499: DON’T DO THAT AGAIN

Chapter 499: DON’T DO THAT AGAIN

Iris and Ethan were dumbstruck hearing what Cane just suggested. They were aware that some extreme situations demanded extreme decisions, but was it wise to put Koda in such a high position? Let this greedy man become a king?

It would be a testament for the whole kingdom.

What was actually in Cane’s mind? What was he trying to achieve by putting Koda on the throne? He could have snatched the throne for himself, no?

However, no matter what questions swamped their minds, Iris and Ethan didn’t say a word and let Cane handle the situation.

The Alpha looked exhausted, but it didn’t mean he came unprepared. They could see in his eyes how shrewd he was to mess up Koda’s mind and try to make him walk in the direction he wanted him to by using his greediness for power.

"Take the bodies of the royal warriors and the remnants of the King’s body, if there are any, to prove Lady Cyan’s involvement in dark magic. Since the Serafim is on her way here, you can prove to the whole world that the King was killed by dark magic and if you are crafty enough, you can get the Holy Kingdom to support your great grandson’s claim to the throne. You will need as much power as you can get to get rid of the other princes in the palace, as they will start to have their eyes on the throne, once the news about the death of the King spreads."

Cane’s eyes became slightly darker at the mention of the Princes.

"Be careful with Prince Alan, because Lady Cyan is still his mother. She must have something under her sleeve to put her son on the throne again."

Koda listened to what Cane said diligently, he looked like a student, who tried to absorb all the lessons from the teacher.

"Once you sit on the throne and secure your great grandson’s position, everything will be easier from there. After all, as subjects, we should oblige the Sovereign." Cane played with Iris’ hair absentmindedly, twisting her curls between his fingers. "You need to move fast before the word about the death of the King gets out or Lady Cyan manages to build her forces within the palace, or it will be hard for you to claim the throne."

Cane deliberately directed Koda to deal with this messy situation and also hinted at what kind of power he could hold in his hands. As the regent, he was literally the King, the highest position in this continent. The throne was his until the baby could come of age, which would be eighteen years from now.

As for Koda, even as someone that was so greedy for power, never in his wildest dreams, would he have imagined himself to sit on the throne. The thought of it thrilled him. He could feel the excitement rise in his mind as goosebumps broke out on his skin, imagining himself wearing the crown...

And after what Cane said, Koda felt enlightened and could see that the situation was in his favor. It was not a dead tunnel. It was a great opportunity! Why didn’t he think about this earlier?!

Meanwhile, Cane did this because he needed all the distraction to let everyone’s focus be redirected to the palace, so he could have enough time to strengthen and stabilize his own pack. He could see clearly that the Howling Wolf pack was now in shambles. It was in a vulnerable state.

All it needed was one attack and they would be pushed back into misery once again.

Not to mention the other six packs under him. Everything had not been reorganized yet. He still needed to visit a few packs and see the condition there with his own eyes. Letting Koda handle the dispute among the royals and deal with the people from the Holy Kingdom was necessary, with that, Lady Cyan would have a hard time too.

"I am going, I will get going now..." Koda mumbled under his breath. "You are right, you are right." He nodded at his own words and then looked at Cane, his eyes shone with greediness and determination. "I will fight for my great grandson’s rights! I will march the warriors from the Red Claw pack to defend the throne! They will be furious once they learn about what happened to our alpha."

"Hm." Cane nodded, he caressed Iris’ earlobe this time, which made her swat his hand away from her ear. Her frowning face put a small smile on the corner of his lips, but Koda didn’t notice that, since his mind was occupied by something else.

Meanwhile, Ethan really wanted to facepalm himself seeing what his alpha was doing. How could he be playful with his mate in this serious situation? Was this Lu, trying to act like Cane? Or was it actually Cane, who got the lycan’s bad habits?

"I need to go now." Koda looked anxious.

"Yes, go now." Cane nodded, encouraging him to leave.

With that, Koda didn’t hesitate a second to leave the Howling Wolf pack. He needed to send a word to his pack and arrange everything, more so, just like what Cane said, he needed to gather a few bodies of the royal warriors and the King’s as well, to prove Lady Cyan was a black witch and give the evidence to the Serafim, who would arrive by the end of this week.

Lady Cyan and her dark magic wouldn’t be a problem then. With that thought, Koda rushed out of the war room.

Once it was only the three of them, silence fell inside this room for a moment before Cane shifted his attention toward Ethan and spoke in his hoarse voice.

"You can leave, too."

"But, I don’t want to go," Ethan said. He had a lot of questions and needed Cane’s decision to do certain tasks, yet the Alpha didn’t have any patience left for him.

"Gamma Ethan, you can leave."

Ethan flinched, he grimaced, because Cane wouldn’t have called him with his title if he was not being serious, like super serious.

"Okay, okay, I know. I am leaving." Ethan scurried out of the room, giving the privacy that his alpha demanded from him.

"Cane..." Iris was about to ask how he felt when suddenly the rest of her words were swallowed by the Alpha.

Cane pressed his lips against hers. He held her so close against his chest and this left Iris breathless. She could feel the room spinning, she felt lightheaded as his kiss was so demanding, showing his dominance.

Cane felt shaken up when he woke up and he couldn’t find Iris. He thought she had left... it was a silly thought after he calmed down enough and could feel the presence of his mate now, but the appearance of the man named Rei had messed up his mind.

"Don’t do that again..." Cane said against her lips, while biting them, as if to punish her.

Meanwhile, Iris couldn’t understand what she had done. She didn’t do anything, right? Aside from arranging a few things to make it easier for him.

"Don’t do that again..." Cane repeated softly.
