The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 511: CAN WE TALK?

Chapter 511: CAN WE TALK?

"You can’t do that, Luna, you will leave us broke," Eron whined.

"Not to mention you will not be able to go out with us. We usually go to cheaper restaurants. It’s not a place that you would like to visit," Dyne added.

"Luna, why didn’t you tell me that you are able to hear now? I thought we were close," Ethan complained. He was still hung up on the fact that Iris kept it a secret from him. He started to think of what else he had said in her presence when he thought she couldn’t hear. Did she hear his complaints about the Alpha?

Well, sometimes, Ethan couldn’t wrap his head around the Alpha’s actions and chose to grumble in the form of a complaint, but not in Cane’s presence.

"Oh, please, drop the subject." Eron elbowed the Gamma. "It’s a good thing, so stop whining."

Ethan pursed his lips. Eron and Dyne were close to Iris, too, but Ethan was a constant presence in her day to day life, thus they wouldn’t understand his feelings when he learned Iris could finally hear in such an abrupt way.

Seeing the Gamma feeling all dejected because she didn’t let him know until now, the Luna tiptoed and whispered into his ear. "Jace has not yet known about this, too."

In the matter of a few seconds, the gloomy clouds on his face cleared up. "Really?"

Iris nodded and she could tell that Ethan was feeling better now, knowing Jace was also clueless about it.

"I think it’s okay for us to bring the Luna around. She needs to know her own pack, right? More so, all of us will be there, so what are you worrying about?" Ethan said righteously in a light mood, which made Dyne and Eron want to punch his face because of how fast he changed his tune.

"Are you trying to be on the Luna’s good side now?" Eron frowned. "You two faced jerk."

"Do you think the Alpha will agree to let the Luna go to those parts of the pack? There will be a lot of stinky warriors and guards there. It’s not appropriate for her to be there," Dyne added.

And with that, Ethan found other people to bicker with, while Redmond had been away since Cane sent Sofia to live outside of the pack house.

On the other hand, the other five warriors had this deep furrow between their brows seeing the three of them squabble over something trivial, but what made them even more confused was noticing how comfortable the Luna was around them. She didn’t look as timid as they used to perceive her.

More so, they could tell that she was teasing them for their stupid bet.

"She is good," Kian said in a low voice, as they followed behind the four of them. "She even asked the Alpha to release us."

"Let’s see what she is up to." Asher stared at Iris’ back, which she could sense. She turned around to smile softly at them. As if being caught red handed, Asher immediately averted his gaze and because of how surprised they were, none of them reciprocated her smile.

Moreover, they weren’t used to joking around or smiling aimlessly.

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

Maria felt so frustrated, she had been asking to meet with the Alpha for Sofia’s sake, but her visits were always rejected. She was denied access to the pack house, even more to be in close proximity with the Alpha.

The order was clear, she needed to take care of Sofia.

But, what Maria disagreed with was; how could the Alpha be so cold and callous toward the woman who was carrying his child. How could he drive her out of the pack house? And only gave one annoying warrior to stand guard for her, while he gave the Luna seven of them.

"This must be because the Luna has instigated him. The Alpha Cane that I know is not someone like this. He is a responsible person," Maria said, as she cleaned Sofia’s legs, since she was having a hard time taking care of herself due to her pregnancy.

On the other hand, Sofia didn’t say anything. She didn’t try to stop Maria from trying to get justice for her because she was sent away, nor did she intend to tell her that the baby might actually not be the Alpha’s. It seemed, she was still holding onto some hope that the baby was actually Cane’s and what he said that night was only to scare her away.

She refused to believe that the person she slept with that night was Redmond, instead of the Alpha! She believed the Alpha did this because he was infatuated with his mate and just being rather heartless to an outsider like her.

But at the same time, she couldn’t ignore this nagging feeling, where she started to doubt her own memory regarding that night...

She couldn’t remember the details, but all she recalled was how satisfied she was and that it was the best night ever.

"Sofia, don’t be angry. You will hurt the baby," Maria said in a gentle voice, seeing how Sofia gritted her teeth. "Deliver the baby safely, I am sure, once the Alpha sees the baby, his heart will melt to know he became a father."

"Hm." Sofia lowered her head. She didn’t dare to look Maria in the eyes again.

And right at that time, they could hear a commotion from outside, something that always happened whenever Redmond entered the house.

Yes, it was Redmond, who was appointed as the warrior, who would stay by her side.

Actually, Redmond’s main assignment was being Iris’ personal warrior, but his spot had been replaced by seven people and, even though he was grumbling and badmouthing Cane behind his back, he didn’t really want to refuse the new assignment.

"Maria! You old hag! Come out now!" Redmond screamed from the living room. They could hear a loud thud from there, as the warrior put down something so big and heavy. "How dare you use me to carry this thing!"

Meanwhile, Maria looked fed up at Redmond’s antics, as she stormed out of the bedroom and started to reprimand him. "This is for the baby! Where do you think the baby will sleep when it is born?! You dimwit!"

"You should have asked someone else to carry it! Not me!" Redmond glared at her, which made the old woman flinch. She was scared, but stubborn to not back down.

"You are here because the Alpha told you to take care of his pregnant woman!"

"I am here, because I need to keep my eyes on her, it’s a different thing! More so, didn’t it occur to you, the Alpha has rejected her by sending her away, until when you are going to deny this fact? I thought you were only stupid, but apparently, you are retarded as well."

Maria scoffed. "The Alpha will regret his decision once the baby is born."

"Or maybe you are the one who will regret it," Redmond mocked Maria, but his eyes were fixed on Sofia, who was lying on the bed and watching the fight, only she immediately averted her eyes.

Sofia had been stringing Maria along with her hopeless prayers that the baby was the Alpha’s.

"Now, help me arrange the crib."

"Do it, yourself. I am not your servant."

After saying that, Redmond stormed out of the house, leaving Maria, who was cursing at him to no end.

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

Iris was joking and being playful with Ethan, Eron and Dyne, as they headed toward the dining hall. After a long day, they were starving and felt like they could gobble up the entire meal, especially those warriors, who had spent their time in the dungeon.

The night was so quiet and the sadness from losing so many pack members was still palpable in the air, but with everything that happened and the predicament of their situation being not yet completely gone, they managed to go through the day by busying themselves with a lot of things.

Especially when the pack had to be rebuilt again, since so many buildings had been destroyed during the attack.

They handled the mourning period well, if you could put it into words, probably because they had lost so many people before, though it would never be easy.

When the nine of them were about to turn at the corner, Iris saw someone that she almost forgot that was actually there.

It was Nala.

She was standing at the side, staring at Iris, as if wanting to speak to her, but because Iris was not sure what to do, she pretended not to see her.

However, Nala blocked their way, by standing in front of them.

"What do you want?" Eron asked, frowning. He had never liked this woman, ever since she started trying to seduce the Alpha.

"I want to talk with her," Nala said in a clear voice. She looked pale and skinnier. Even though she still looked beautiful, you could tell something had been dimmed inside of her. She was not as bright as before.

"’Her’?" Dyne frowned. "You are in the Howling Wolf pack, show some respect to the Luna of the pack."

Nala gritted her teeth, her prideful self wouldn’t allow her to address Iris as someone above her station, but then her pride wouldn’t make her able to survive.

"Luna Iris, can I have a bit of your time? There is something I want to talk about with you," Nala said in a more polite tone, she tried her best to hold back her tears and anger.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Can we talk, just the two of us?"

"No," Iris replied firmly.
