The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 76: HE WILL SUCK OUR PACK DRY

Chapter 76: HE WILL SUCK OUR PACK DRY

"Did I do something wrong?" Iris asked timidly, as she stared at Cane’s vicious expression. She would like to avoid staring at him, but then she wouldn’t be able to know if he was talking to her.

"We are far away from the nearby camp and we still need to find the magic stones." Which meant, if they had to return to the nearby camp, they would waste their time and it would already be evening once they reached there.

Cane put away the flask and resumed walking.

Once Iris realized that, she also noticed Cane had not actually drank the water at all. "Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t think about that."

She was both hungry and thirsty, which made her fill her empty stomach, yet Cane had walked away and she could only follow him.

Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, because Iris gulped down the remaining of their water, Cane decided to call it a day and instead of forcing Iris to look for the magic stones, they returned to the nearby camp.

Iris got a warm meal and water, while Cane talked with a few slave trainers there. Ania was nowhere to be found, it seemed Stone had returned home with his daughter.

Iris was munching on her meal and enjoying her meat when she felt someone approaching her and found Redmond crouching down in front of her.

"Nice to see you, luna." Redmond smiled brightly, but his cunning eyes couldn’t hide his actual intention. He took Iris’ hand and was about to kiss it, but she pulled her hand away before he could do it. "I am your loyal warrior, remember? I took an oath not to hurt you, so you don’t need to be afraid of me."

Despite what he said, Iris was still not comfortable being so close to him. She looked around her, but she was too far away from Cane or the other slave trainers. It seemed they were too invested in what the alpha was talking about, thus they didn’t pay any attention to their surroundings.

Iris stupidly chose a secluded area to eat her meal, so she wouldn’t bother anyone, more importantly, thinking she wouldn’t be a bother to anyone.

"Iris, you are the luna of the Blue Moon pack, you are the leader of this pack. You need to take charge and shouldn’t allow that alpha to manipulate you into doing his bidding." Redmond nodded at Cane in the distance. He looked at him with eyes full of mockery. "We can drive them away from our pack."

"Why would I want to do that?" Iris narrowed her eyes at him. She wanted to move away from him, but he held her wrist to keep her there.

"Don’t you know? The Howling Wolf pack is full of moochers!" Redmond hissed viciously. "They are taking all of our resources to build their own pack!"

"My father destroyed their pack first."

"Yes, but it is not a reason to suck our pack dry for their own benefit!"

"If you have any complaints, you can go and talk to Alpha Cane yourself," Iris said firmly. She stared straight into Redmond’s eyes and glared at him. "You are hurting me!"

Redmond’s grip on her wrist tightened without him realizing it, but then he loosened it when he heard how Iris grunted in pain.

He let go of her hand. "I am sorry." He didn’t express even an ounce of regret in his apology. "I thought at the very least, you have a little bit of backbone to not let those mutts suck this pack dry."

"He is not like my father, who will let those people suffer."

"Yes, it’s true." Redmond stood up. He tilted his head, as if he was assessing Iris. "But, he will choose his pack all over again and make his own pack prosperous at the cost of the Blue Moon pack."

"He will make the two packs prosperous." Iris was upset because Redmond was bad mouthing Cane. She couldn’t hide her annoyance.

"You will know what I meant once you go to the Howling Wolf pack. That pack is insufferable. What do you think is the reason Cane doesn’t want to let go of this pack to the extent of making you his luna?"

Iris furrowed her brows. How dire was the situation in the Howling Wolf pack? She had never been away from this pack before, let alone visiting another pack. It was a rare occasion for her to be even allowed to go out of the pack house.

"You will see it yourself and you will know, that alpha..." Redmond nodded his chin at Cane with a snort. "He is a leech, he will wipe out our pack to save his helpless pack."

And after saying that, Redmond walked away from there, because he was not supposed to be spotted with Iris. He would be whipped if he strayed too far from the barracks.

On the other hand, her brief conversation with Redmond made Iris think about how actually the Howling Wolf pack was faring.

How bad the situation there was.

When Iris was in deep thought, Cane approached her. "We will go back now."

"Oh." Iris put down her plate and straightened her dress, but Cane stretched out his hand to grab her hand.

"What is it?" Cane asked, as he raised her hand in the air and looked at the bruises on her wrist. Redmond held her a little bit too tight earlier.

"I bumped into something," Iris murmured, but it was clear that Cane was not convinced. He could smell a lie like a hound would blood.

But thankfully, he deemed that matter was not worth his attention and put down her hand, as he walked ahead.

They returned to the pack house and Cane went to his chamber without saying anything, aside from telling her to be ready tomorrow to go to the mines again.

It seemed he was very determined for Iris to master this skill.

In the end, curiosity got the better of her and she went to the library in the middle of the night to find out the use of the stones. She remembered reading something about it.
