The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 590: ’THAT’ BOOK

Chapter 590: ’THAT’ BOOK

Iris was so gloomy and Cane thought it was because of her monthly cycle, which caused her to be in a bad mood.

"There will be a festivity in the town tonight. Do you want to go?" Cane asked Iris, without even taking his eyes off the report he was reading right now.

Both of them were having their lunch in the dining room along with the members of the three packs, thus it was a little bit crowded here.

Cane prolonged his stay in this pack because he was waiting for the merchants from Karam to come. Usually, the merchants would come to buy the women and monsters, and a few children if he took a liking to them.

However right now, Cane wanted something else to be traded, therefore, he was going to have a meeting with them. They were scheduled to arrive two weeks from now.

Grory and Argean expressed dissatisfaction over how Cane wanted to change what they used to do in this pack, it could be seen clearly in their eyes and expressions when the alpha said he was going to stop trading women and children with the merchants from Karam.

However, the beta and gamma didn’t dare to voice out their opinion. As for what Cane would trade in exchange for women and children, they were not sure because the alpha didn’t explain anything to them.

If Ethan himself needed years and Iris’ helping hand to make Cane explain his plans to him, definitely Argean and Grory wouldn’t be able to make him say anything more than necessary after meeting just for a few days.

"Going to the town? Tonight?" Iris’ eyes lit up. Cane didn’t allow her to go out of the pack house and it was a stern order from him to her personal warriors, thus none of them dared to go against him.

Even Aliana didn’t dare to disobey the alpha.

’The Alpha looks so scary, he will really have our heads if we disobey this one,’ Eron said when Iris asked him to take her out of the pack house once, because she wanted to see this pack and buy a few pairs of clothes for Joel and Zale, also Celia and Haco.

Joel showed tremendous progress, he could shift into his beast without a problem and started his training, he was also able to read and write now, which he bragged to Eron and Dyne, as the two of them used to tease him.

Celia was also learning how to read and write, since Iris didn’t have many things to do.

Sometimes, Joel and Zale would train together with Celia and Haco as their spectators. Iris and Aliana would come to watch them as well occasionally.

"Hm. Do you want to go?" Cane put more meat on Iris’ plate, as she munched on it like a chipmunk.

"I want to!" Iris looked so excited and Cane was happy enough to see her full of spirit like this.

He had been so busy and couldn’t spend time with her as often. He realized it immediately seeing his mate had been so gloomy lately. He wasn’t used to seeing her like that...

"Can I buy clothes for Joel, Zale and Haco? Also Celia? I saw their clothes are too small for them and Zale also needs more clothes, he didn’t bring anything from his pack and has been wearing Joel’s clothes."

Cane was speechless, instead of talking of buying something for herself, it seemed, Iris was way happier when she talked about what she was going to buy for the others.

However, as long as she could smile like this and he was able to see her eyes lit up with excitement, it didn’t matter what the subject was.

"Okay."

"But, I don’t have any money," Iris said sheepishly.

Cane couldn’t help but laugh.

"Cane, I am serious." Iris scrunched her nose seeing Cane laugh at her. "I promise I will not spend much. I will just buy two for each."

Cane didn’t realize it before because his mate had never been in a situation where she needed money, but now he realized he had never given her any allowance or bought something for her.

"You don’t need to be worried about that. You can buy whatever you want." Cane caressed her cheek. He stopped laughing, as it dawned on him how he had neglected this matter, just because Iris had never mentioned it before.

"No, I..." Iris was about to speak, but Cane cut her off.

"Iris, I got the fortune of six packs, do you really think I can’t afford a few pieces of clothes for you?" Cane put a piece of meat into her mouth.

Cane didn’t count the Silver River pack, because he left their fortune for them to manage, but even without that one pack, the other six packs were wealthy enough to match the wealthiest pack in this continent.

Iris munched on her meat docilely now.

Her mood had improved slightly. This would be the first time they went out together to relax after they returned from the capital city, since there were so many things that had happened since they left the palace.

Within a year, so much had changed...

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

Summer almost ended and it was almost fall, thus there were so many festivities within the pack and the southern packs were well known to be so lively on such occasions.

During fall, there would be monster transmigration again, but some of the monsters would lay dormant. It was a perfect time to have a long journey with a low risk of being attacked by the monsters, that was why the merchants from the Karam would come during that season.

It was also during fall when Cane took his people back to their homeland, as it was raining during that time. But they were attacked by monsters. It was so unfortunate, since Cane thought their journey back to the Howling Wolf pack would be free from monsters.

Fall also marked one year since the first time Cane saw Iris for the first time. Their meeting started with so much hatred, only filled with desire for vengeance. They started their relationship so wrong from all aspects.

"Cover your hair, Iris. It is so easy to spot you within the crowd with your hair color," Cane said, as he pulled up the hoodie of her cloak and tightened it around her body. The night was rather cold now and Iris started to wear more layers on her dress.

Her health had improved tremendously, but it didn’t mean she was able to withstand the cold night wind.

"Okay," Iris said, as she peeked from under her hoodie.

Cane didn’t want someone to be able to spot her so easily, because she could be an easy target if something went wrong in the festival.

After that, a carriage took them to the town, but it was not one of the extravagant carriages Cane owned. It was a normal one, so they wouldn’t get unnecessary attention.

Once they were there, Aliana approached Iris to walk with her, while Ethan and Cane walked behind the women closely.

"Celia, Haco, Zale and Joel are here too, but I think they went to a different place," Aliana told Iris, as she walked close to her. "It’s so rare for the alpha to let us take a break, he usually will force us to work until we collapse."

"Cane is not like that!" Iris protested, but when she saw how Aliana grinned, she realized this woman only teased her. She lowered her head, embarrassed.

Iris was a little bit disappointed because she thought she would be with Cane alone, but as it turned out, she could see familiar faces among the crowd. In less than half an hour, Iris managed to spot her seven personal warriors.

However, as the night progressed, Iris enjoyed Aliana and Ethan’s company, as the two of them kept bickering and competing in everything. There was no dull moment with the two of them around.

"Do they always compete like this?" Iris grimaced when she saw how Aliana challenged Ethan in a drinking competition and neither of them were willing to give up.

"More or less," Cane said, as he ushered Iris away from the crowd.

"What about them?" Iris was worried, because Ethan and Aliana were clearly drunk right now, but then she saw Asher and Kian go closer to them.

The festival was so lively, but as the night progressed, more and more people got drunk and it began to get wild. On the brothels’ balconies, there were so many women, half naked, waving their hands at the people below them, inviting men and women to come to their place.

Iris was a little bit worried about what she would do if Cane took the initiative to enter one of the brothels, though if she were to think about it thoroughly, there was no way the alpha would even step inside. This must be her hormones that messed up with her mind like what happened recently.

Instead of a brothel, Cane actually took Iris to a rather quiet building no one visited.

"I noticed you have nothing to read recently, why don’t you buy some to kill the time?" Cane answered the unspoken question when Iris stared at him with confusion as he took her closer to this small one storey building.

Iris knew Cane was an observant person, but she felt touched that he could notice such a trivial detail. She thought he was busy.

"Night!" A middle-aged woman greeted them. "What book do you want?" She looked so charming and warm.

Hearing her question, the first thing that crossed Iris’ mind was; ’that’ book, which made her blush.
