The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507: THE NIGHT OF THE FUNERAL

Iris would feel really uncomfortable if they had to kill Chrystal for something that she couldn’t control. She did not make any grave mistakes, it was just that the timing was not right.

"Cane..." Iris tried. "Let me talk to her, okay?" She cupped his face and stared into his eyes.

"Iris, you know the answer already. I hate to break your heart, but this is not something negotiable." Cane kissed her palm to appease her, but he could still feel how tense she was with his decision. "You don’t need to be there. Just forget about this matter, I will take care of it."

Iris knew what exactly Cane meant when he said he would take care of it. It didn’t make her feel better at all.

"Iris." Cane caressed her cheeks and stared into her eyes. He had warned her before that things like this would happen. If it had been in the past, he would have been assertive with her. But, it was different now and Cane found himself softening at the sight of her. He felt horrible for disappointing his mate. "We can’t take the risk, especially with the situation we are in. The risk is too big to let her live."

Iris bit her lip, she couldn’t say she didn’t understand what they had at stake here, but at the same time, she couldn’t completely agree with his decision.

Now, she truly realized her situation. This wouldn’t be the last time she would be in this position. There would be many cases in the future like this and it was common sense in this sick world to silence anyone that they couldn’t trust when they knew so much.

There was no common ground for this matter, but knowing this was something that needed to be done, they left this matter at that.

"Tell me what happened to you when we were in the Goffa mountain. How come you can finally hear?" Cane tried to change the topic, since the previous one had been settled and he wouldn’t change his decision on that.

"Oh... I think I know the story of Lu and the first Serafim..."

And with that, Iris told Cane everything she had seen when she lost consciousness and how she concluded that whatever dark magic Lady Cyan had resorted to had triggered something inside her. Not only her, but the lycan within Cane as well. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

They spent their time talking, there were a lot of topics they needed to cover and even after spending hours, they were nowhere near done.

This was also the first time for Cane to share his thoughts and have a long conversation, since he used to think and decide everything on his own.

The more they talked about their current situation, the more Cane realized how fascinating Iris’ way of thinking was. She approached every matter from a different view that had never crossed his mind before.

Women indeed had different ways of thinking and with this, he could figure out a little bit of Lady Cyan’s approach...

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

"Order from the Alpha," Redmond said. He entered the Luna’s bedroom Sofia occupied without even knocking on the door first, which made her screech. She was still shocked because of the near death situation yesterday and had been having these cramps from all the stress of her own situation.

Therefore, Maria had been tending to her and nursing her, so she wouldn’t harm the baby further.

"Don’t you know how to knock?!" Sofia screamed at the red-haired guy, who looked so brazen and reckless, as he settled on a chair near her bed and crossed his arms before staring at her with that disturbing gaze.

"Direct order from the Alpha," Redmond repeated his words, completely ignoring Sofia’s protests. "You need to clear this room and stay in a new house, outside of the pack house."

Sofia pressed her lips, she gritted her teeth, as she tried to hold back her tears. If it was before, she would have rejected the idea and screamed at the top of her lungs that this was the Alpha’s firstborn, but after that night, she was not sure what to believe anymore.

Redmond tilted his head, waiting for this woman to scream her head off, but it was so weird when she was being so quiet.

"Hello, did you hear what I said?" Redmond waved his hand, as if to get attention from Sofia, which made the pregnant woman glare at him. "Well, that’s better..."

It was only an hour before the funeral for the fallen warriors, but Redmond didn’t feel like attending it. It wasn’t purely because of the fact that the dead bodies of the warriors from the Blue Moon pack would be left in the Goffa mountain to let nature take care of them, what Jace said to soften the intent behind it...

Letting nature take care of them my ass. They were feeding them to the monsters.
