The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 546: THE TRAITOR

Chapter 546: THE TRAITOR

Lil Thing had been roaming around the pack and would end up at the orphanage frequently, where he would then be taken into custody by the children there, as they loved it. Of course, the furball couldn’t shake them off and ended up as their plaything.

Meanwhile, its owner didn’t really care about it.

On the other hand, the warriors were dumbstruck to see how this white furball could be so docile with little children, despite witnessing how ferocious this creature was in the last battle. It could be said, this bear killed more of their enemies than them. But, it didn’t even extend its claws when the children climbed on top of its body.

"It’s okay," Iris said, as she walked forward when Zephyr tried to shield her from Lil Thing. She extended her hand and caressed its head, as it whined against her touch, as if complaining.

Even though it was proven that Lil Thing was harmless to children, Zephyr had witnessed the feral side of this white furball, so out of instinct and duty, he needed to step forward and protect Iris.

"It’s okay, that furry creature is fine," Eron said to Zephyr, as he handed over another chest for him to put inside the carriage. "The one you need to pay close attention to is that merchant."

The Alpha had emphasized to not let Iris engage with the sorcerer as much as possible.

"It is so hard to find a way to talk with you," Lou complained, as he approached Iris and pushed the white bear aside. "I heard you drank a few nights ago, do you want to try drinking in broad daylight?" Lou had this brilliant smile on his lips, as he made a bold offer.

Of course, hearing this, the seven warriors immediately jumped in to interrupt. They still remembered their punishment to chase after the monsters in the Goffa mountain and now they didn’t want to imagine what else their alpha would do to them if they let this happen.

"Luna, you need to get into the carriage."

"Luna, can you come here for a while, there is something I want to ask."

"Luna, have you met the horses that will pull your carriage? Come, I will introduce you to them."

They tried to use all the excuses they could think to get Iris away from the merchant, even though some of them sounded very ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Lil Thing was not happy that Iris was being taken away again.

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

"Is it wise to force a retirement on Kaz? He has been around for decades," Jace asked Cane, he returned to the study room once he had shown Carla her bedroom in the pack house.

"Not every decision needs to be wise," Cane said curtly. He had made so many unwise decisions, thus it was not being wise that he was looking for.

Jace wanted to retort him, but seeing Cane’s expression, he knew it was a futile attempt and it was better for him not to try and irk the Alpha.

"Have you found out the other traitor?" Cane asked next.

Jace scratched his head. "No. Not yet. No clue." The Beta frowned. About Lyle, they got the clue from Aderan, who had gotten it from the Queen, but from what they learned, Lyle was the only traitor.

Jace had been keeping his eyes on him and used to feed him with false information, so the King got the wrong news, with that, they could slightly control what kind of information the King got from their pack.

However, there was no way Lyle knew about the secret passageways inside the pack house, because all the Blue Moon pack warriors were either working in mines or guarding the entrance of their pack. They didn’t even come closer to the pack house, let alone knew about the secret passageways.

Even Redmond, who used to go in and out of the pack house as he liked, was clueless about the existence of the secret passageways.

"We are back to square one again regarding this traitor..." Jace muttered under his breath, he looked upset.

"What about the members of our pack?" Cane suggested and this made Jace frown even harder.

"You suspect the members of our pack?" It crossed Jace’s mind as well, but then it was hard for him to go through with that, the thought the members of their pack had betrayed them was too disturbing.

"Check them," Cane said and then stood up to go to the front yard, they were going to depart in an hour.

The Alpha was not thrilled to investigate his own pack members and much less learn they betrayed him, but then it would be even more dangerous if they looked past it.

However, without Cane realizing it, his intuition was proven right in a way, because it was indeed his pack member, who had disclosed about the secret passageways.

But, he would have never imagined who that person could be...

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

"Miss Aria, Lady Cyan said she wanted to see you," Letto called Aria, who was staring at the town through a small window in her bedroom. She had been staying in the capital city for more than two months now, but she had never stepped outside of this tower.

Only a handful of people knew her existence here. Life looked so blurry in her eyes, as she didn’t know what to do and what to expect.

Therefore, she held onto the only emotion that she knew; hatred. It was so easy to hate something and her favorite person to hate was; Iris.

She wouldn’t have ended up like this if it was not for her. She wouldn’t have been forced to live a miserable life had she not come into the picture. Even if Cane didn’t love her the way she did, she knew he wouldn’t be with someone else and she would be the only woman by his side.

Cane. What are you doing right now? Do you still remember me? Did I ever cross your mind?

Those questions were the most frequent questions that came into Aria’s mind, while she indulged herself in her misery. She loved him, despite everything he had done.

She loved him and would give up anything for him, but he didn’t want it and now, she would do everything to get back to him.

If she couldn’t be the person he loved, then she would be the only person who would be on his mind.

Aria loved Cane and she was willing to do everything to get his attention, for him to remember her, even though her way was so twisted.

"Miss Aria?" Letto called Aria again, she was sitting near the windowsill, staring outside. Her stomach looked so huge, she would be due within a few weeks from now.

"Hm?"

"Lady Cyan wanted to see you..." Letto repeated again carefully, because Aria’s mood was a little bit sour these days. She refused to see his master, unless she was so thirsty and wanted his blood to quench her thirst.

"What does that blind woman want with me again?!" Aria snarled. She had laughed in Cyan’s face when she saw her the last time. She was blind and from what she learned, Cyan’s existence in this palace had been kept a secret, just like hers.

Aria hated that woman, even more when she heard that she failed in her grand scheme against the Howling Wolf pack, but what irked her more was the fact Iris was still alive.

If she was going to fail, at the very least, she should have killed that slut!

Aria was not sure about the details or how Cyan got blind, but then she couldn’t care less about those trivial matters.

"I- I don’t know, miss..." Letto said, he flinched. He could feel her wrath filling the air.

Aria stood up and walked out of the room, pushing Letto out of her way. She hated this slave boy. See? It was so easy to be hateful and she lived relishing in that emotion.

"What do you want?!" Aria asked, once she entered Cyan’s bedroom. It was not big or luxurious like her bedroom when she was still the King’s mistress, but it was convenient enough and was way nicer than Aria’s small one.

"Sit down, there is something I want to discuss with you," Cyan said firmly, it was a tacit understanding that they didn’t like each other, thus it was better to lower their interaction and go straight to the point. "Tell me about your former pack, the Winter Moon pack."

Aria was Leane’s personal maid, they came from the Winter Moon pack before Leane found Cane was her destined mate and she moved almost right away to the Howling Wolf pack.

Therefore, as the future luna’s personal maid, of course, Aria had the privilege to know about those secret passageways. She was also the one who told Cyan about the situation in the Howling Wolf pack and how many people still perceived Iris as Gerald’s daughter and harbored ill feelings toward her.

This kind of information looked insignificant, but it became a tool for Cyan to sow discord in the Howling Wolf pack people’s hearts.

While men resorted to using cunning tactics to set up traps, women would go for playing with emotions, the way they schemed was very different and subtle. It was not a direct approach or a threat like men were used to, but it could leave a huge impact.

This method suited Cyan the most, since she was also a mind controller.

"What do you want to know about the Winter Moon pack?" Aria narrowed her eyes.

The Winter Moon pack joined hands with the Red Claw pack to fight for the throne, but they failed.
