The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395: IRIS WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CANE’S PLAN

Ethan had told him about a lot of things, he had emphasized how the warriors had warmed up to Iris and how she helped them to read and write. They saw her in a new light now, especially when the relationship between her and their alpha turned out to be so great.

Cane openly showed how important she was to him and it was not the first time for him to stay with Iris when she did not feel well. The Alpha even brought her with him almost wherever he went, even for the secret meetings.

Yet, Jace simply couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that Cane took this relationship with Iris seriously, aside from him needing her because of the Blue Moon pack.

Not to mention the warriors.

They didn’t state it bluntly, but definitely, Iris was not their favorite luna. If there was someone else, they would rather choose the other person than the daughter of Gerald, because seeing her brought back a lot of bad memories.

They accepted Iris only out of respect for their alpha, nothing else. Most of the warriors back in the Howling Wolf pack shared the same sentiment as them, but the warriors that followed them to the capital city looked like they had a different thought now.

Last night, Jace overheard a warrior bragging about how he could write and read because of Iris.

Jace was flustered.

This entourage arrived at a vast area, where there were a lot of people, covered in dirt and dust. They looked so skinny, as if they only had skin and bones left in their body.

"Who are they?" Iris asked, she and Hanna stared at Ethan, waiting for his explanation, since he had been walking with them.

"They are all shifters. They must have been taking Rottingbane, which might have prevented them from shifting into their beasts."

"What are they doing here?" Hanna asked again with so much curiosity.

They had this kind of place back in the Blue Moon and the Howling Wolf pack too, but it was because the people there were working in the magic stone mines, while here, there was no place like that, so what were they doing here?

"Riverside pack didn’t have a magic stone mine, but they have been working on a crosscut between the Riverside pack and the Crystal Moon pack. Alpha Gill wanted to dig a tunnel at the feet of the Goffa mountain, so they will be able to cut down around two days’ journey from this pack to the Crystal Moon pack."

Crystal Moon pack, Diandem pack, Bloody Wolf pack and Silver River pack were on the other side of this mountain, so it was indeed a good idea to make a shortcut by digging a tunnel under the mountain to cut the journey to the other pack.

"But, isn’t it dangerous? Goffa mountain is full of a lot of monsters, especially at times like this." After winter, the monsters would be very active, Iris knew that much about it.

"Yes, that’s why, this project has not yet been accomplished even though it has been five years since it was started."

"Five years?" Iris was dumbstruck.
