The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 574: SPEECHLESS

Chapter 574: SPEECHLESS

Iris woke up when she heard loud growls and snarls, followed by the door being slammed open as five to seven warriors poured into the room.

She immediately covered herself with the blanket and sat down, but her attention was on the door. Those warriors were dumbstruck in their tracks upon seeing what was going on inside.

Once Iris followed their line of sight, Iris screeched, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands when she realized that Cane just ripped a beast’s body. He twisted its forelimbs and removed them from its body. He threw its hindlegs to the floor, while his expression turned malice.

He did all of that in his human form, one could only imagine how strong he was to be able to fight a beast without shifting.

Iris watched Cane’s side profile and when he tilted his head, finally noticing that Iris was awake, she could see how his eyes had turned so red.

Oh, hell no. It was Lu! The lycan took over Cane’s body again.

Cane must be too tired to be able to suppress the lycan from coming to the surface, especially when he finally got his peaceful sleep.

"Don’t look, my moon." His voice was extremely gentle, a complete contrast to his bloody hands and the gruesome scene he had created. "Close your eyes, my sweet moon."

Yes, it was definitely him.

The sight was disturbing, but Iris could handle it, she had seen something as cruel as this before, yet still, she chose not to stare for long and directed her attention toward the seven warriors there.

They must not have realized Cane’s red eyes, because the Alpha had his back to them. When Cane turned around, he threw the bloody body of the headless beast without its limbs toward them. Blood splattered everywhere and sprayed onto their clothes when the body fell on the floor near their feet.

They gasped loudly and avoided seeing the dead body and the Alpha. They could sense the anger filling the room and how the atmosphere became so tense.

"You bastards! Useless shifters!" The Alpha roared angrily because their enemy managed to sneak inside the bedroom. He stalked closer toward them with his sharp claws emerging from the tips of his fingers. "You let this thing sneak into this room!? What are you doing out there?! Fucking each other?!"

The seven warriors flinched, instinctively, they took a step back, because the dangerous aura that surrounded the Alpha was so strong, they couldn’t stand his dominant figure.

"O- our apologies, Alpha..." They stammered, begging for the Alpha’s mercy. They knew they had messed up big time for not noticing the enemy sneaking into the bedroom. Such a mistake deserved death as punishment, because they had put their alpha in a gravely dangerous situation. The Alpha and the Luna could have been killed in their sleep!

"Apologies?!" The Alpha sneered derisively. Him and his mate losing their lives could be offset by an apology? They must be still daydreaming now if they thought this matter would end here. "You can atone to your sins with your lives!"

Lu growled and charged forward, he was ready to kill these useless seven warriors, who failed their assignment. The genuine killing intent from the Alpha couldn’t be mistaken and all of them froze in their place, unable to move an inch.

It would be their doom, that was it, this would be the end of it, if it was not for the Luna who took action in time.

"LU!" Iris threw the blanket away and suppressed her urge to vomit when her barefoot felt the slicky blood on the floor, as she threw herself at the lycan and hugged him from behind.

Lu roared angrily, but he didn’t dare to shake Iris’ off, nor did he push her away. If he wanted, no matter how hard Iris tried to stop him, he would be able to kill these warriors off in a blink of an eye.

"Don’t kill them, okay?" Iris pleaded softly. Cane would be devastated if he had to face any more deaths of his warriors. They just made up this afternoon and she didn’t want to see him sad again, she could see how distraught he was upon losing his warriors three days back.

If there would be any punishment, Cane should be the one to decide it.

However, right now, the lycan was livid beyond words!

"Useless mutts like them don’t deserve to stay alive!" Lu growled at Iris, but he retracted his claws, just in case he hurt her. It pissed him off when this petite girl could stop him so easily. He should have moved faster...

On the other hand, Iris grimaced, because in a way, she had defied his words again, even after she promised him not to do so.

"Let’s find another suitable punishment, okay?" Iris didn’t loosen her arms around his hips, as she lifted her head to look the lycan in the eyes.

"Do you want to torture them? Cut their limbs one by one and pull their hearts out slowly?"

The corners of Iris’ eyes twitched, this lycan was seemingly creative enough with his torture methods, while the seven warriors immediately fell to their knees and hit their heads against the floor, they didn’t care about the blood, as they begged for mercy.

Yet, Lu ignored their cries, as he continued because Iris didn’t seem interested in his first idea.

"Or do you want to peel their flesh inch by inch before they could heal themselves, so in the end, they will not have anything left. We can also force them to eat bits of their own flesh, let’s see if it will increase their healing ability."

"Lu..." Iris spoke softly, she felt so dizzy just by listening to his cruelty.

Meanwhile, the warriors were too afraid for their own lives to realize Iris called the Alpha with another name.

"Or..."

Lu wanted to suggest another thing when Iris kissed his cheek. "Let’s clean yourself off this blood, while we think about what kind of punishment is suitable for them."

Lu stared at Iris, she was wearing her night gown in front of these mutts and he was not happy with that, especially when she dirtied herself with the blood of this useless beast, who tried to kill them.

"I told you to stay on the bed, now you are dirty."

"It’s okay, let’s clean up first and let them clean this room too."

"Do you mean taking a bath together?"

Iris was speechless. "Yes."

"Okay."

With that, Lu forgot about punishing those warriors, at least for now, since he had another important thing to do.

"Clean this mess and call Ethan to see me," Iris ordered the seven of them, who were trembling in fear. They felt like their lives flashed before their eyes.

"Y- yes, yes, Luna... thank you, Luna..."

If it was not for the Luna’s intervention, they would have died by now, and ended up like the beast before them, being shredded to pieces...

They knew their alpha favored his mate, they also had witnessed how the Luna escaped unscathed after defying his order. That event left them speechless, but what happened right now, showed how much power that their Luna held.

It was a risk that Iris had taken when she jumped onto an angry alpha, but she did that and it saved their lives, because they believed the Alpha would kill them.

All of them lifted their heads slightly, as they took a glance when the Luna ushered the Alpha into the bathroom and closed the door behind them.

They could finally breathe in relief when the Alpha was out of their sight, even the atmosphere felt a little bit lighter.

"I don’t ever want to be on the Luna’s bad side..." one of the warriors muttered, as he fell on his butt, staring blankly at the closed door of the bathroom.

The night fell into a deep silence, while the putrid smell of the blood filled the air. The seven warriors immediately got up and did what their luna had ordered them to do.

"Take off your clothes," Iris said, after she prepared a bath for him, she dropped a few more stones into the water, so it would be warm enough.

"Okay," Lu obliged. He shrugged his clothes off and within a second he was standing in front of Iris in all his naked glory. "Do you want me to take off your dress?"

Iris was speechless. Her face turned so red to see Cane’s naked body. Okay, it was not the first time for her to see him like this, but she still couldn’t get used to it, unless they were in a different situation.

"I- I will take off my dress later..." Iris stuttered a bit. "Get into the water, I will help you clean the blood."

"We can bathe together..." Lu whined, approaching Iris. "Come on, take it off." He pulled on the strings of her dress, like a child.

"Lu." At this point, Iris really wanted to cry, she was not sure she could get out of this situation easily.

"I miss you, that bastard wouldn’t once let me out," Lu complained and Iris was not sure how to react. "Let’s make a baby! You have never done it in the water, right? That man lacks imagination. Come on! It will be fun!"

Lu leaned over and whispered into her ear, as he told her the things that he was going to do to her, how he would pleasure her, while Iris looked on, petrified.

Though it was Cane’s body, Iris felt like she would be cheating him if she did it with Lu.
