The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: THE CUNNING ALPHA

The problem between Ethan and the Crown Prince was resolved just like that. Though it ended in less than fifteen minutes, a lot of threats and twisted words were exchanged between the King and the Alpha before all of this could end, as both of them kept pressuring one another in such a roundabout way.

It was not an easy bargain for Cane as well to get a hold of the King’s power and authority, so he could get his gamma out of it alive.

Therefore, Cane had prepared for the counterattack from the King, but what he heard next was something very far from his expectations.

"I want to give a special order to the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack. As he is part of the royal family, he is part of this responsibility as well to reassure the people that the royals have everything under control." King Aeon mentioned that out of spite. "I will appoint the Alpha from the Howling Wolf pack, Alpha Cane, to lead the investigation on the black magic, the lycan and the sudden monster attacks during the new year!"

Cane narrowed his eyes when he heard that, but his expression didn’t show anything.

"Alpha Cane will take charge as the special emissary of the King to calm the public and find out who is responsible for all those incidents!" King Aeon was not satisfied to burden Cane with only that responsibility, because he added more. "A curse of black magic has caused misery upon Princess Osana. I want the person responsible for that to be hanged before summer!"

Summer. It meant, the King gave Cane only half a year to resolve the problems of the black magic and the monster attack.

With that order, one could say that the King had burdened the Alpha with all the responsibilities regarding the recent incidents and wished for him to resolve everything within such a short time.

Even if it was the King himself who took the responsibility and exhausted all his resources, he wouldn’t be able to get any satisfying result within half a year! Let alone Cane, whose territory was not close to the capital city at all. He was not even familiar with this area.

He only recently became the Alpha.

This task was set to fail to begin with and all of the people there could see that. There was no way the King would sit idle if Cane didn’t meet his expectations and give a satisfying result when summer came.

King Aeon simply dumped all the problems on the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack and threw him out to the angry and agitated people, who only knew tiny pieces of information about him. One such fact being that he was an ex-slave, who managed to lead his people toward freedom from their tyrant, but it wouldn’t be enough to calm and reassure them that he was up to this task.

"You will be appointed as my special emissary and start your investigation as soon as possible!" King Aeon’s voice boomed inside this silent main hall. All of the people held their breaths when they heard this.

The task was so cruel. Originally, they would discuss their next steps and proceed with caution, but the King simply put all the responsibility on Cane, which meant he would be the only person that would be punished if he failed.
