The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: SHE WILL DIE

The two guards, who dragged Iris away from the bedroom, looked at Hanna with sympathy.

"I am sorry, Hanna, but there is nothing we can do. This is the mistress’s order," Ale, one of the guards, said. He looked sorry, as he blocked Hanna from trying to prevent them from taking Iris away, while his friend dragged her out of the bedroom, as per Aria’s instructions.

"No! No! You can’t do this to her!" Hanna freaked out to see that Ale wouldn’t budge and wouldn’t allow her to come with them.

"You will not like the sight that you will see," Ale said, in his attempt to make Hanna back down, but she became even more panicked to hear such horrifying words from his mouth. And it was hard to block her without hurting her at this point. Therefore, he let her go, but she didn’t know where they had taken Iris. "Where did they go?! Where did they go?!"

Hanna literally shook Ale’s body roughly, because she couldn’t calm herself down, especially when the guard refused to speak.

Anger took over her when she raised her hand and slapped him so hard, which surprised the guard and he widened his eyes in surprise, but there was nothing he could do when he saw how Hanna glared at him viciously.

"I will never forgive you if something happened to her!"

After saying that, Hanna stormed out. She tried to think of where Aria would take Iris. She was afraid that she would kill her. She wouldn’t be surprised if she did.

Hanna remembered how Mason used to whip Iris in the past and she would cry out in pain.

She was a runt, being whipped like that could kill her. There was also a time when Mason almost killed her because she didn’t stop bleeding and ever since then, her condition became worse, she got sick easily and too often.

Only then, alpha Gerald told his son to stop and direct his anger at his slaves rather than his sister.

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

Aria actually took Iris to the bailey, the place where the warriors and guards lived. This was the part of the pack house that Iris had never visited before.

This place was built by stones and looked rowdy, especially with so many warriors there. Their figures alone were already intimidating for Iris, as they towered above her.

"What are you doing here, Miss Aria?"

"Why did you bring Gerald’s daughter here?"

"Why is she here?"

Some of the warriors greeted Aria politely, but most of them would furrow their brows upon seeing Iris. What the hell was she doing here? The mere sight of this runt alone had already made their anger hit sky high. They didn’t want to see this woman near them, it could be a bad sign for them.

Thankfully, the result of the meeting this morning had not yet been announced and aside from a few people that were involved in that meeting and a handful of the pack members, nobody knew about the fact that Iris was their luna now and how their alpha had marked her.

But, it wouldn’t be a secret any longer, because Aria intended to stir their wrath and end Iris’ worthless life. She was blinded by rage and jealousy! She had been with the alpha for years! But Cane chose this woman to be his luna!

Out of all women, he chose her!

Aria kept walking toward the center of the Bailey, at this point, all the curious guards and warriors gathered around, waiting for Aria’s explanation and why Iris was here.

They looked at each other, baffled.

Once Aria reached the center of the Bailey, where she took the higher platform and ordered the guards to make Iris kneel down before her feet, she looked at all the warriors around her with sharp eyes.

Great! All of them were here! They could have a taste of her! They could get their revenge on her!

"Listen!" Aria spoke loudly. She held eye contact with everyone present. At least, there were around a hundred warriors here and they paid close attention to her.

Even though Aria was surrounded by warriors, who were stronger and way more dominant than her, she didn’t falter. She knew what to do with men. If there was one thing that she learned during her days as a slave in the Blue Moon pack, it was; she was used to being surrounded by men and knew how to handle them.

"You must know who this woman is!" Aria asked a rhetorical question, as she shot Iris a disdainful look and kicked the side of her body, so she stumbled to the ground.

The guard kept holding her down, thus she couldn’t dodge it.

"You must know what her father and brother had done to our people! To our pack!" Aria halted, she let her words sink in, letting them relive the memories of the past.

She wanted them to remember the pain, agony, injustice, and also the torture for a decade that they had to go through. How they watched their families, mates, friends, children, all the people that were dear to them, die one by one at the hands of alpha Gerald and Mason.

"Can you forget about all of that?!" Aria roared, she could see that her words started to take effect on these warriors. "Those innocent lives that they had taken away from us!"

Iris glanced at Aria with so much difficulty, to read all the things that she said. She was not only reminding them about her father and brother’s cruelty, but also fanned the flames of hatred from them.

She was trembling in fear when she watched how infuriated these warriors were, they threw dagger looks at her, as if they were going to rip her apart.

"And you know what?! This bitch! She seduced the alpha and made him mark her!" This time, Aria stepped forward and pulled her hair so hard, Iris screamed in pain, as she tore her dress apart and tilted her head, so everyone could see the mark on her neck. "This is the mark of the alpha! She seduced him to be his luna!"

A wave of shock spread through the warriors when they saw the mark. They didn’t believe it, thus they moved forward to see it more clearly.

This time, Aria pushed Iris down from the higher platform and let them see her mark for themselves, so they would know that she didn’t lie and the mark was real.
