The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524: SHE IS HER OWN PERSON

"Cane! How can you do that?" Jace rushed to meet Cane once he learned what Cane had decided. "You know I will never agree to it. Why did you make this decision on your own without saying anything to me first?!" Jace was too furious, as he forgot his place for a moment there.

Currently, they were in the fortress. Lou was explaining a few things to Cane about what he was going to do about the protection around the Howling Wolf pack.

The merchant grinned to see how furious the Beta toward his alpha was. "It seems, I am not the only one who is dissatisfied with your decisions. You are a terrible decision maker." Lou didn’t hold back when he mocked Cane, though he was laughing harmlessly, as if what he said was just a friendly joke.

He had been very upset because he couldn’t see Iris, not even a glimpse of her auburn hair, but the profit that Cane offered to him was too important for his greedy ass to stir trouble to this alpha beyond repair.

Therefore, Lou could only satisfy himself by throwing a hidden insult and mockery at Cane here and there, which only left him even more furious because the Alpha never really seemed to care.

The way Cane could be so nonchalant sometimes would always leave Lou dumbfounded. As a busy body, he couldn’t understand how this shifter could tune out the world from his mind.

"Know your place, Beta," Cane said assertively.

Only then did Jace realize he was in the presence of someone else and it was not appropriate for him to talk in that way with Cane.

"My apologies, Alpha," Jace said, he lowered his head, but it didn’t make the tension leave him.

"You can leave now, Lou. I will call you again if there is something important," Cane talked to the merchant. The way he spoke, it was almost as if this merchant was one of his employees and was not important enough to waste his time on...

Though it was true in a sense, Lou couldn’t help it, as he became so mad. Thankfully, he was pretty good at hiding it and smiled like usual.

"Sure, I am very busy after all to listen to your beta’s complaints. My time is precious." Lou turned around, but before he could leave them alone, Cand added.

"Do your job well and you will get what you want sooner." Of course, what Cane meant was the merchant being introduced to someone from the other continent, so he could expand his business. "Stay away from the pack house."

Lou turned around and was about to shout at the Alpha, but Cane had already walked away with Jace, so no one could hear their conversation.

"Damn you, Cane!" Lou cursed through his gritted teeth, he looked like he was going to explode, only Sabian go to him first.

"Are you okay, master?" he asked carefully. "I want to let you know that Lil Thing is missing again."

"I am not okay and I don’t care about that ungrateful creature!" Lou stormed away, he would be too frustrated every time he finished talking with Cane, but he couldn’t not choose to stick with him, especially after the whole continent learned that he was one of Cane’s people.

Actually, Lou knew where that stupid rumor saying he was one of Cane’s people came from, which pictured him as someone with a lower status compared to him, but he couldn’t confront Cane without valid evidence, after all, how could you find evidence for a rumor?

This alpha was very cunning through and through.

On the other hand, Cane and Jace walked toward a different part of the fortress, where the guards and warriors just finished with their meals and left the spot to work again. They greeted the Alpha and the Beta respectfully before resigning themselves.

"Cane, how can you put my sister in danger by appointing her as one of the Luna’s personal warriors? She has seven already and there will be a lot of warriors around her, she doesn’t need an extra hand. Couldn’t you see that she feels uncomfortable with the warriors she is not close to?"

Jace could see how Iris was a little bit awkward with the other five warriors and most of her interaction would be with Eron and Dyne.

"Luna Iris and Aliana only have met a handful of times, she will feel uncomfortable. More so, how can you assign my sister without telling me anything first?" Jace felt frustrated and anxious to think his sister would be in danger with this new assignment.

Cane listened to his complaints without saying anything, he let his beta vent out his grievances and only when he was done, did Cane finally speak. "It’s your sister’s idea. She is adamant to become the Luna’s personal warrior."

"What?! She is not even a warrior! Why did you agree with her?!" Jace exploded, but a single glance from Cane made him hold himself back.
