The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 593: IRIS WAS CONFLICTED

Chapter 593: IRIS WAS CONFLICTED

Cane expected the Serafim to refuse to come down here because of the safety, or at the very least, alpha Colter would send his own warriors, but he failed to calculate alpha Colter and Koda’s movement, as they sent Winter Moon pack instead.

It had been so long, since the last time Cane met with alpha Nolan. He should have been retired from his position as the alpha because of his old age, but unfortunately, he always got girls and now he had around fifteen daughters before he got a boy, who was now ten years old.

This boy was the apple in his eyes, he treasured him so much and spoiled him senseless. That was the last information about the Winter Moon pack that Cane heard.

Both packs were not really close even when Leane chose to stay in the Howling Wolf pack after she met with Cane, it didn’t improve the relationship between the two packs and actually alpha Nolan asked for the compensation because now Leana was taken to the Howling Wolf pack.

He asked a thousand of magic stone as compensation and it felt like he just sold his daughter away, he couldn’t care less about a daughter, since he had many of them.

That was why there was no communication whatsoever even when he learned his own daughter was killed brutally. There was no word from Winter Moon pack about it.

Therefore, Cane thought, alpha Nolan wouldn’t care much about this matter, what he was curious about was the fact he chose to betray the royal and side with alpha Colter. There must be an interesting deal that play behind such decision, which Cane was not aware of.

And right now, the first thing that Cane did when he learned about alpha Nolan’s arrival within a few days was to let Iris knew about this. She needed to be aware of their situation.

After asking a guard about Iris’s whereabouts, he found her was watching Zale and Joel sparing, beside her were Celia and Aliana. The little girl was actually pretty comfortable to hold Iris’s hand and talked to her. The same girl, who would be scurrying away the moment she saw Cane, because the alpha was too intimidating and he looked like he was always frowning.

The last statement was the only thing she said to Iris and Aliana, which made both of them laughed.

Cane stopped for a while and when Kian was about to let Iris knew he was there, he waved his hand to stop him, as he stood a few steps away behind his mate, while Aliana and Celia were to engross with the sparing between Zale and Joel to notice him.

Cane stared at Iris’s joyful expression, as she cheered for both of them, knowing they wouldn’t hurt each other and put the other beast in danger.

The ray of sunlight fell on her hair and glinted in her blue eyes, those blue color remained Cane of the sky above them, so pure and clean, maybe that was the reflection of her soul...

Every time Iris was laughing and cheering, Cane smiled with her as well. It was therapeutic to see how she could still find something joyful in this messed up situation.

She was so warm and full of life. Her laughter was his favorite sound to hear.

Cane was not sure since when he felt this way toward Iris, but surely, the event when the lycan managed to take over his consciousness there was something snapped inside of him, as if there was this wall that had crumbled and it let him to feel deeper. The lycan enhanced the bond between them.

But, for Cane, there was more about it. This feeling was more than the bond they shared together.

Iris was akin to light in the end of his dark tunnel, she was the first warm that blanketed you after a cold day and her presence was the first thing that you would be grateful for even in your worst day.

Meanwhile, the sparing had ended and Joel won against Zale, which made the young boy was not happy at all. He shifted into his human form and Iris approached the two of them.

"Are you two, okay?" She asked gently.

"I am fine, luna," Joel said.

"Fine," Zale replied curtly and Joel ruffled his hair.

"Be more polite to the luna," Joel reprimanded him lightly and then noticed the alpha, as he greeted Cane, which made Iris noticed Cane’s presence and went toward him.

"What are you doing?" Iris smiled brilliantly to him, feeling so happy to see him here, since he had been very busy with a lot of things.

Cane pulled her closer and kissed her lips in front of dozen pairs of eyes. "I missed you," he whispered against her lips.

Joel immediately covered Zale’s eyes and Aliana did the same to Celia.

"Ehem," Aliana cleared her throat. "There are underage children here."

Hearing that, Iris immediately pushed Cane away, blushing. She didn’t mean to show such affection so blatantly in front of the children, yet the alpha didn’t care much about it. He took his mate’s hand and walked away from there.

"Walk with me."

"Okay."

Iris followed Cane docilely, as he slowed down his pace, so she didn’t need to run after him.

"Don’t you think they are being more and more affectionate toward each other?" Eron asked Aliana. "If this is a year ago, I will never believe the alpha will look so normal like this."

"He has never been like this to Aria," Dyne chimed in.

"Just be happy for your alpha," Aliana said lightly. Honestly, she also didn’t believe Cane would change so much like this. They thought, they would never get to see this side of their alpha again after what they had gone through.

But, with the mention of Aria, it reminded Aliana of what Ethan had said. Someone had dug the place, where they buried her and they couldn’t find her body.

There were a lot of assumption about this, but the topic had never been discussed again because they had other important things that needed their attention more.

However, Aliana wondered what actually had happened there...

Meanwhile, Cane took Iris to walk leisurely in the garden. This pack was actually very beautiful and there were a lot of variation of flowers, more than Iris had ever seen in her whole life.

"Is there something bothering you?" Iris asked after they walked for ten minutes and Cane had not yet said a single word.

"Now you can tell?" Cane raised his brows, his lips curled in amusement.

Iris grinned and tightened her grip on his hand. "You are easy to read like an open book," Iris teased Cane with the same words that he used when he described her long time ago.

Somehow, this made Cane laughed, as his mate’s expression was very mischievous. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her for some time. Feeling the beating of her heart against his chest and her scent that engulfed him.

He couldn’t decide whether he like the warmth from her body the most or how her soft, silky curls between his fingers.

"What is bothering you?" Iris felt so safe when Cane hugged her like this, there was no place she would rather be than in his arms.

"Alpha Nolan will come within three or four days."

"Alpha Nolan?" Iris frowned, she was not familiar with that name.

"He is the alpha from the Winter Moon pack," Cane said.

"Oh." Only then Iris remembered and realized the gravity of the situation. Alpha Nolan was Leane’s father and she was not sure how to respond to this. "Are you... in bad term with him?"

Cane buried his face against the crook of her neck, squeezed her body tightly. She felt so small, but comfortable. "Not really. You can say I am in a ’fine term’ with him, but if I can choose, I would rather not to meet with him."

Cane became more open with Iris. He talked about his feeling more often and let her understood how he processed something or a certain situation, though it was not all, but it was way better than when he didn’t say anything at all and made her obliged his decision blindly.

"Why does he come here?"

Cane closed his eyes and savored her scent, her skin was so soft and supple, as he ran his fingers down her spine.

He told her about the letter from the Serafim and how her healing ability had reached her ear. Now, the Serafim wanted to see her in person.

Cane also told Iris about the curse on Koda’s great grandson, who they named after his father; Vemion.

"Do you think you can lift the curse?" Cane asked, he opened his eyes. He was more curious about this answer than anything else.

Iris thought about it for a while. "I am not sure, but until now, there is no curse that I can’t lift... I purified all the dark magic stone that Haco gave to me without even thinking about it." Iris contemplated for a while. "I think I can."

Cane’s expression became a little bit complicated.

"I will cure the curse if I can."

"Iris, you need to know about this." Cane pulled away from her and stared into her eyes. "The Serafim can’t lift the curse from the baby and if you can help it, I don’t want you to do it."

"Do you want to make the baby suffered?" Iris was conflicted.
