The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: REDMOND’S MEMORIES OF HER

Redmond was only fifteen when he saw baby Iris for the first time. Alpha Gerald was vexed because he got a baby girl instead of a boy from his favorite woman, who was none other than Iris’ mother.

He threw a month-long party, which was attended by all the Alphas in the southern packs, except the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack. The party was filled with alcohol and women. Naked women walked down the corridors without wearing anything.

That was the first time for Redmond to see so many women naked in his fifteen years of life and also the first time he had sex with a woman twice his age. He remembered that woman complimenting his red hair before passing out on top of him.

His first time was not really ecstatic, but it was still memorable. After he got dressed and left that woman, he walked toward the garden, where he could see the balcony of Luna Nera’s chamber.

Luna Nera was not Alpha Gerald’s fated mate, but he chose her to be his luna because he liked her more than Mason’s mother.

On the balcony, young Redmond could see a beautiful woman standing, holding a baby in her arms. Tears streamed down her beautiful face, while she stared at her month old baby girl blankly, knowing her mate was in another woman’s arms right now, being pleasured by countless women. Not to mention the party was so loud and this distressed the Luna even more. Apparently, sensing what her mother felt, the baby couldn’t seem to sleep either. She kept crying for the whole night.

Redmond saw the baby in Luna Nera’s arms, it was Iris. Luna Nera named her Iris.

When Iris was just one year old, Luna Nera died and she was to be taken care of by an old lady, who was Luna Nera’s personal maidservant, who too died a few years after.

When Iris was three years old, Redmond met her, playing on her own in the garden and before he realized it, he had walked toward her and sat down next to the little girl with curly hair.

He didn’t do anything and only watched over the baby girl, so she wouldn’t get into trouble until her nanny came.

However, seeing someone accompanying her there, Iris started trying to play with him. She was smiling and giggling, looking all innocent and pure and this made Redmond frown.

He was under training to become a warrior and the training was very harsh to say the least. Some people would even die during the training and not to mention the bullying within the ranks. The competition was so fierce, thus it was so weird to see such a naïve smile baby Iris showed to him.

Redmond didn’t smile back, because it was weird for him to smile. He had forgotten how to do it.

Yet, the baby gave him a flower that she found and tried to hug him, trying to give him comfort, since in her eyes, he looked so sad.

At the same time, Redmond bolted up and walked away from that little creature, who looked at him with teary eyes because he left. She tried to follow him, but there was no way her tiny little steps could match his.

After that, it was so rare for Redmond to see her again until the day the Blue Moon pack was attacked and fell into Cane’s hands. Probably, he met her only a handful times during all those years, but every time he saw her, she would look so sad.

He reported her one time when he caught her giving food to the slaves, putting her into trouble with Mason and after that, he stayed away from her, since he couldn’t betray the oath he gave to the Alpha and he had an obligation to inform what she was doing.
