The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450: LADY CYAN’S MOVE

"No way. The Alpha did that?" Maria was still in denial, as she watched Joel nod.

"I was the one who barred them this morning per the Alpha’s order," Avid said, munching on his meat.

"Are you sure that it’s really the Alpha’s order?" Maria mumbled, but it was loud enough for Avid and Joel to hear. Both of them stopped eating and stared at her in disbelief, which made Maria become self conscious.

"Are you really questioning it?" Avid asked, his voice deepened when he glared at the old woman beside him. "It’s an insult to a warrior for not knowing from whom the order came from."

"You are too much, Maria," Joel chimed in, he creased his brows. "You only want to hate the Luna without reason at all."

Joel knew about the provocation from the royal warriors. Those scums arrived just a few hours back and they already disrespected them and some of them, if it was not most, started talking ill and cursing at their luna under their breaths and this made Joel really mad, but no one was allowed to talk about this matter and escalate the already tensed situation.

Therefore, the two warriors didn’t want to hear the same thing when they were eating.

"I am sorry," Maria said in a small voice. Knowing she wouldn’t be able to argue with them two, she decided it was easier to stop the contention before it started.

Knowing this argumentation wouldn’t go anywhere, they dropped the topic and minded their own businesses.

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

Ethan entered the room and found Will sitting on the edge of the bed. His head was down, as he stared at the necklace in his hand without saying anything. He had been like this for God knows how long.

He didn’t say anything and Cane had relieved him from all the duties, since he was not mentally stable enough to be responsible for anything.

The Gamma remembered the last thing he said was; help me, and after that, Will didn’t say anything at all.

Hell.

Ethan didn’t even think his soul and mind were still intact with his body. He wondered, if he punched him as hard as he could, whether he would be able to pull some kind of reaction out of Will. Being angry would be better than this numbed Will.

The Gamma really considered his options, but then he sighed and sat down next to him, but Will didn’t even show any reaction that he acknowledged Ethan’s presence.

"Who had done this to you, Will? What actually happened to you?" Ethan talked to himself. He stared at Will, who looked so pale and fragile, as if a single attack could end his life. He looked like a candle that burned to the last of its candlewick. "Can’t you tell me something? I swear I will help you exact revenge. Hell. I will do anything for you."

There was only silence that greeted Ethan.

"Well, I am sure the Alpha must have planned something about that, since he knew about what happened to you." Cane knew about this and Ethan didn’t have any doubt in that, though the Alpha had never mentioned it explicitly. "Hang in there, Will. Hang in there."

Ethan patted his back and then stood up, he left the room and the silence returned.

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

Iris pursed her lips, she grimaced when she glanced at her right hand. She felt so sore. Her hand never felt so sore and numb like this before.

Meanwhile, the culprit was trying to ease her discomfort by helping her put on her dress. This dress was a little bit complicated, since they were due to attend a formal dinner with the King and Lady Cyan soon, but he didn’t allow Hanna to come and help.

Iris couldn’t believe it, she did that for more than an hour! That was insane! In that case, why didn’t he just have sex with her instead?

But then, she dismissed the thought. Her hand was so sore like this and she was barely able to hold anything. If Cane really made love to her, she would probably be bedridden for days. She had always ended up in bed for a few days when they had sex in the past and this was not the right time for that.

She needed to be by Cane’s side in order to greet the King and his mistress, Lady Cyan, and also to make sure everything went well, since this was her responsibility.

Done with the strings of her dress, Cane turned her body around and lifted her chin, so she could look at him. "Okay?"

"My hand is not okay," Iris said sullenly, showing Cane her hand that was still a little bit shaking.

[Alpha, the situation in the warrior’s quarters is pretty tense,] Jace said through the mindlink when they were close enough to do so. [I think they did it on purpose to provoke us.] _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
