The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: CANE’S CRAFTINESS

Koda must have learned about the death of Alpha Dristan and now he was making a fuss, demanding an explanation about the whole mess. After all, it was the Alpha of his pack that had lost his life. Someone must take responsibility for it.

If the Howling Wolf pack, by any means, was involved in the death of Alpha Dristan, it could cause a discord between them, no matter what cooperation had been between them, it would cause a bloody war between the two packs.

The Howling Wolf pack was not in a good position right now, they couldn’t afford another battle at this moment. Knowing that, Koda was being very hostile and rude. All the polite front he showed during their cooperation in the Riverside pack and in the palace was dropped.

"My alpha is dead! It will be a pack problem! I want to know who is responsible for this!" Koda roared.

That was the first sentence that Iris heard when she entered the war room, where Koda was blowing his top at Ethan. The Gamma looked like he was going to lose his temper at any given moment now. Ever since the incident in the palace, the Gamma could control his temper better, though it was not good to provoke him too much.

And right now, Ethan seemed to be at his wits end being at the receiving end of Koda’s bullcrap.

Iris immediately approached him and put her hand on his arm, which surprised Ethan, but he looked slightly relieved seeing she had come. He was too caught up in his plans to claw Koda’s mouth apart in his mind to notice her presence sooner.

"What is going on here?" Iris asked, though she knew what happened roughly, but she was not sure whether Koda knew about the death of the King or not. And what about Lady Cyan? "Where is Jace?" She tilted her head toward Ethan.

"Jace is on his way here, he is with Lou, they are talking about something." Noticing the fact that Ethan didn’t disclose what Jace and Lou were talking about, Iris assumed it was something that Koda shouldn’t know.

"Iris! It’s a good thing you are here, as the Luna of the pack, I demand your responsibility and explanation about what happened to my alpha!" Koda said angrily, he was being disrespectful when he addressed Iris without her title.

"She is the Luna of the pack, watch your mouth! Her status is well above yours!" Ethan barked back. His body was trembling, he was on the verge of making his imagination to end this old man’s life come true, but Iris held his arm, to prevent him from complicating the situation even further.

"Why are you so angry, Sir Koda? We just got attacked by the royal warriors, it is not wise of you to seek trouble by losing your temper." Iris tried to make her voice even, while thinking what she should do about this situation.

What would Cane do if he was here? What kind of plan would he resort to turning the tables around?

Iris tried, she really tried so hard to think like him, but she couldn’t. She was not as cunning and calculative as him yet, and so, she couldn’t see a way out of this situation. More so, her head throbbed even more when she tried to think a little bit harder for a solution. How would Cane’s mind work? She wondered...

"My alpha is dead!" He emphasized this. "Don’t you think it’s a great trouble for me and my pack?!" _{freēwebnovel.com}

Iris tightened her grip on Ethan’s arm when she felt he was about to bark back again. Having spent her time with him for months, she knew whatever came out of his mouth right now would only escalate the situation to nowhere without solution.

"Hundreds of warriors from the Howling Wolf pack have died too, Sir Koda, if you have not yet noticed that. My alpha is not in good condition either right now." Iris straightened her back, if worse came to worst, she only needed to unleash Ethan and the Gamma would take care of him. After all, there was no way she could get in an altercation with this old man. "I am sorry for your loss, it is incomparable, but it doesn’t mean we survived the attack unscathed either. Countless warriors from the Howling Wolf pack have been dead as well."

"They are nothing compared to an alpha!" Koda roared. He really overstepped his boundaries by saying something like that. Just because the fallen warriors were not from his pack and he cared less about them, it didn’t mean it was something he could say no matter what kind of situation he was in.

"And your alpha is nothing compared to those fallen warriors!" Iris snapped back, her blue eyes were ablaze with anger, she emphasized every word she said.

And probably because Koda didn’t expect this runt to shout back at him, he was slightly taken aback and speechless.

Right at that time, someone else entered the room and a shocked gasp escaped Iris and Ethan’s lips upon seeing the person.

"Al- alpha? C- Cane?" Ethan stammered, he dreaded the thought it was Lu who came into the picture. He was going to approach him when he saw his black eyes. "Cane? Is that you? Are you okay?" He asked under his breath, just to be sure it was really him.
