The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: SHE WAS SO NUMB

The original plan was to make Iris stay with him, until they returned to the capital city, but looking at the current condition coupled with what happened to her, while the plan had changed completely, it would be better for Iris to go back to the Howling Wolf pack first. The journey would only take half a day. She would be fine.

However, to Cane’s surprise, Iris refused to leave.

"You want to see his dead body?" Cane asked, to make sure he heard her right. This was the last thing he thought Iris would ask him.

He saw it with his own eyes how afraid this girl was when he killed Vemion in her presence, she was shocked and couldn’t utter a word.

But right now, she asked him to take her to see Gill’s dead body?

"Yes. I want to see him... if he really died." Iris’ voice trailed off, she stared at Cane, but her gaze was so distant, as if she was seeing something else instead. "I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here."

Cane studied her for a while. He contemplated this weird situation and her strange behavior. He could understand if she spent her waking hours crying and feeling depressed, but instead, she looked like she was numb.

"Okay." Cane nodded. "But, you need to eat your breakfast first."

Iris didn’t say anything and with that, Cane asked someone to deliver their breakfast, of which Iris ate only a few spoonfuls before she pushed it away and he needed to coax her to eat some more, but Iris kept shaking her head.

She didn’t cry, she talked about what happened to her calmly. She didn’t avoid the topic and she remembered everything.

This was not how Iris used to deal with traumatizing events as far as Cane knew. She was not this calm when she remembered what Kellan had done to her when she was little. She even grazed the topic about Kellan in their conversation, but there was no emotion whatsoever he could see in her.

She was not in the same mental state as Venna, only the truth was... Iris was rather cold and this made Cane feel even more concerned about her.

He had never seen this side of hers.

Meanwhile, in the capital city, the news about the death of the five alphas reached the King through the first flying hawk and a messenger immediately rushed to report it to him.

Currently, the King was in bed, enjoying a round of rough sex with Nala and lady Cyan when a knock could be heard from outside the door.

"What the fuck is that?!" King Aeon roared because his morning was interrupted when he was in the middle of the deed.
