The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: DAMN YOU, CANE! (3)

"You said it yourself. It is a great deal for me, so why should I refuse it?" Cane snickered disdainfully to see Lou’s façade slip for a brief second before he regained his composure and acted unbothered.

"Great!" Lou clapped his hands, as if he were very happy with the deal. "I will give you the onceover about it later and we will have another discussion about it."

"Okay," Cane said lightly and stood up. "If there is nothing more, I will take my leave." He kept the conversation with Lou as short as possible and didn’t waste a second to be there.

And what was even worse was the part when Cane left even before Lou could give him a reply. The merchant was too shocked and angry.

He had said what he wanted as the price for saving his mate; he wanted permission to expand his business in his pack and Cane gave it, so there was nothing more that they needed to talk about. As for the details, Cane could let someone handle it for him, they didn’t need to meet in person, exchanging letters would be sufficient.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn you, Cane!" Lou roared in frustration and anger. He had been a merchant for years and even struck a deal with the King, but why did he feel like he lost a business when he actually got what he wanted?!

This alpha irked him to no end!

The only comforting thing that could slightly calm him down was the fact that he would have more chances to see Iris. After all, she was the Luna of the Blue Moon pack.

"Master, you need to calm your anger..." Sabian was afraid Lou would exhaust himself again, after all, they were running out of magic stones in order to regain his vitality back after the portal was hardly able to be closed.

"Scram!"

Facing Lou’s wrath, Sabian scurried away. He took all the servants and guards with him.

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

"Alpha?" Hanna was surprised to see Cane when she came over to bring Iris’ dinner.

Since they came to the palace, Iris always preferred to have her meal brought to her chamber. The dining hall was overwhelming to her, as there were so many people there. She was comfortable with none of them and most of them, she didn’t even know personally.

"She will have dinner with me," Cane replied lightly, to which Hanna nodded respectfully and then retreated.

Cane then opened the door and found Iris sitting near the window with a book in her hands. She was reading something, most likely a book about all the packs in this continent. She liked that topic recently and he noticed that.

"Hanna?" Iris’ eyes lit up when she felt someone enter the room, because it was time for dinner and she was hungry.

The ceremony for her and Cane probably would be postponed, because the situation right now was still not stable yet.
