The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 618: THE CALM BEFORE STORM

Chapter 618: THE CALM BEFORE STORM

After what happened during breakfast with alpha Nolan, all the warriors became a little bit more polite with Iris, especially when their hatred now was directed to Sofia, who just arrived in this pack.

They didn’t treat Iris, as if she was a special person, but the hostility that came from them reduced significantly, more so after that breakfast, they could see that their luna was not as timid as she appeared and she could carry herself just fine when it came to a provocation.

Of course, they loved Leane, as Cane’s mate at that time, therefore, they shared the same disliked toward alpha Nolan when they learned how he demanded hundreds of magic stone from them or he wouldn’t let Leane go to be with her destined mate. He sold his own daughter.

Now after they learned the baby was not their alpha’s, they only wished the luna would come with good news soon.

"I have been in this pack for a few times and I think your mate has not yet changed anything." Lou looked excited with the prospect of taking Iris sightseeing in this pack. "Have you ever gambled before? I bet you have not tried it, I can teach you how!"

Nala was speechless to see Lou’s attempt to get Iris, he was being very obvious and even a blind people could see his infatuation toward the alpha’s mate. He was really tired of living apparently... maybe life was too boring for him and he sought to die.

Hearing that the six warriors were on alert, they stepped forward and Eron pulled Iris behind his back, which made the merchant growled at him, but the warrior growled back viciously.

"What do you think you are doing?" Lou asked menacingly, he narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked like he was going to attack the warrior.

"Back off!" Eron snarled.

Seeing how the situation was escalating very fast, Iris tugged Eron’s sleeve and poke her head from behind his broad back.

"I want to have lunch with my mate. You can have lunch with your woman." Iris nodded at Nala. Her presence didn’t go unnoticed by her, especially when the other woman still looked at her with the same jealousy and unfriendly manner.

But this time, she didn’t worry about her, she was no longer a threat and only a nuisance, as she believed, there was no way she could get her hand on her mate. It was a good thing if the relationship between Nala and Lou progressed, so the two of them could leave them alone.

"You don’t like her?" Lou’s eyes turned gentle when he looked at Iris. She looked so cute and chubbier. "I can make sure you will never see her again."

"I don’t want to have lunch with you, Lou." This time Iris’s voice became a little bit firm.

"Why?" Lou pouted and crossed his arms, like a petulant child. "We can discuss about the tea you gave me before, there are a lot of merchants here right now, I am sure I can secure a few deals for you."

"You should have discussed that with Aliana. You didn’t reply to a single letter from her," Iris spoke in accusatory tone. Aliana had been sending a few letters to discuss about the tea, but Lou never wrote a single reply.

"I have not yet received anything. The hawk must be confused on the way."

That was a blatant lie and Iris was speechless how shameless Lou was.

"Luna, I saw the alpha over there! Come, I will escort you to him!" Zale tugged Iris’s hand to go with him, even though he didn’t like the alpha, but he disliked this tacky man more.

Iris let Zale pulled her away and grabbed Celia’s hand to come with her as well, while the other six warriors barraged Lou’s attempt to get Iris again.

"Stay away from the luna," Dyne said with warning tone.

Lou threw him a nasty look and his eyes filled with malice when he stared at the young boy, who took Iris away, at the same time, that young boy turned his head and met with his eyes, but there was no fear whatsoever, as he held his gaze briefly and rolled his eyes.

"Darn mutt!" Lou cursed under his breath and Nala approached him.

"You make things more difficult for yourself to court her openly." Nala watched Iris’s little entourage. She heard there were seven warriors that were appointed to be her personal guards, one was missing, but she didn’t mind it, because she got her target.

"Can you see, which one you can get?" Lou’s expression became impassive, but he looked a little bit colder now.

"Yes. I think I can get close to him." Nala nodded.

"Good. Do your job well," Lou said nonchalantly and then walked away.

On the other hand, Nala stared at his retreating back, she had this mixed feeling.

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

"Cane! I know what you up to!" Ethan was annoyed, he grumbled on his way to find his alpha.

Cane was talking with Grory and Argean, discussing about a few things related to the pack when his gamma approached him, fuming mad.

"Do like I say." Cane dismissed the two of them. They were Adrian’s beta and gamma, but with their knowledge about this pack and how cooperative they were, Cane let them to run the pack, still he watched them closely, because he didn’t trust them completely.

"Yes, alpha," they replied and then left.

They were standing near the gates and Cane was about to see Redmond and Sofia to instruct them what they needed to do next regarding the baby.

"Cane, I know why you sent me alone to apologize to that bastard gamma!"

"He is a beta," Cane corrected him, as he walked out of the gate. Redmond and Sofia didn’t stay in the pack house, he let them stayed in an inn.

"Whatever!" Ethan was too furious right now to even care with that detail. "Cane, you are trying to use me to feel alpha Nolan, right? Whether he will harm me or not?"

Cane glanced at his gamma and simply nodded, the gesture made Ethan speechless.

"Wah... I am so hurt. You even tricked me that way!" Ethan felt so wronged. He learned what Cane was up when he sent him alone to apologize, but it was too late. He was in critical situation a moment ago.

"He will not harm you," Cane said lightly, as he stopped in front of an inn and entered, while his gamma was still on his ears.

"How do you know? How can you be so sure? What if you lost me? Don’t you like me anymore?"

Cane scrunched his brows with that last question. "You said you trust my judgment."

"But, it doesn’t mean you can throw me around and lead me into your trap without me knowing anything." Ethan felt very miserable, at the very least, he could communicate, right? He thought, Cane had gotten over his old habit.

"You don’t seem to trust me enough like you have always declared."

Ethan was speechless. "You can’t throw my word back to me!"

On the other hand, Iris was looking for Cane, but she couldn’t find him, until the guard told her that the alpha left the pack house with the gamma. They were in the town now.

"Should we go back, luna?" Eron asked.

Iris stared at Celia and Zale. "I thought you were in training with Zephyr?" she asked Zale, whose face turned a little bit red. He looked cute when he was caught ditching his training.

"I want to give the flower immediately to you, luna," he said sheepishly, which made Iris smiled softly at him.

"Okay, why don’t we go out for a while?" Iris suggested, the last time when she went out was when there was festival. She wanted to visit that bookstore again, she had read all the book... including those three, maybe she could find more... well, not that kind of book, of course...

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

"Lady! You are awake!" Letto exclaimed when he watched Aria finally opened her eyes. They were bloodshot red. "Welcome back!"

Aria stared at the ceiling and immediately frowned. "Was it your master?" she asked with hoarse voice.

"What?" Letto tilted his head. He was very lanky had no muscle at all, as if he would be blown away if the wind was too harsh.

"Your master revived me again." That was not a question, but a statement.

"Well..." Letto scratched his head. "I used to tell you, right, that my master is rather fond of you..." It was hard to describe, more so his master didn’t treat her gently or anything that indicating his affection toward Aria, but after following Dexter for years, he was able to see it.

Aria scoffed and then pushed herself off the bed.

"Where are you going?" Letto asked when Aria stood up.

"Tell me everything." Aria stopped walking. She intended to look for Dexter, but then there was something she wanted to know. "Where is that monster that I gave birth to?"

"That’s..." Letto told her everything that he knew and the more Aria heard about that the more she was disgusted.

Her child? She gave birth to a monster and everything happened because of Dexter! She was miserable now because of Iris! She lived a curse life, even though she was already dead because of Cane, who punished her severely! All of the people here only used her!

Aria was very sick of it!

Especially when she heard Cyan created a plan on Winter Moon pack based on the information she gave her!
