The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM HERE FOR?

Cane left the sorcerer to Leros and Clad, as they would stay in the nearby town, until their time to return to the Howling Wolf pack was up, while he returned to the palace with the other three warriors. Iris was very silent during the journey back and he couldn’t tell what was in her mind after learning such information.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer was still trying to fight him back, though Cane was confident that his offer was the best option for him, the sorcerer was still haughty to keep a shred of dignity that was left for him.

He was practically a beggar when Leros and Clad found him in the outskirts of the capital city.

The sun was almost up at this moment as the sky gradually brightened up in the east, but when they were halfway back to the palace, they saw a hawk circling above their heads. It brought a secret missive.

Cane pulled the reins abruptly and raised his hand, following which the hawk flew down and landed on his arm. "Take them." Cane handed the reins to Iris unexpectedly, which made her panic a little, as she complied stiffly.

The Alpha opened the secret missive and let the hawk fly away. He read it and his eyes darkened when he saw what was inside.

"What is it?" Will asked, concern evident in his tone because Cane’s reaction indicated that the missive did not bring good news. "Something happened?"

"There is a second monster attack on the palace."

"A second attack?!" Avid and Trion were flabbergasted to hear that. A monster appearing inside the palace once was already shocking news, but now there was a second attack?

And this time, with the commoners inside the palace, how could the King hide it? King Aeon had killed dozens of his guards that witnessed the first attack to minimize the chances of the word getting out, but with thousands of people there, there was no way he could cover it up.

The only thing that he could do now was to resort to damage control.

Without saying anything anymore, Cane took the reins from Iris’ hands and then vaulted forward, this time faster. They needed to reach the palace before the King sent someone to summon him and question his absence.

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

The palace looked like it had been hit by a storm when they arrived, many people died and some could be seen crying over the dead bodies of their family or people that they knew.

While on the other side, there were piles of dead bodies of the monsters.

They entered through the same gate they used to go out earlier, but this time, they didn’t sneak into their bedrooms, but rode straight to the King’s palace. After all, this situation was too chaotic for them to keep tabs on Cane’s movements.

Especially when the second wave of monsters looked even more horrendous than the last ones. It almost felt like the north had been destroyed and the monsters there flew here instead.

However, that couldn’t possibly happen, because the news of it would reach the King first instead of the monsters. So, what actually happened here?
