The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564: HARD DECISION

"What is going on here?" Cane asked in a dark voice. His expression told them he was not playing around and wanted a straight answer.

Their preparations were complete and they were all set to leave when Iris came to Cane and asked him to change his decision, but now this happened. What the hell was wrong with these two warriors?

Cane took the two of them a little bit away from the entourage. He glared at both of them sternly.

"How long do you want me to wait for your answer?" Cane spoke again. His voice sounded even deeper than before, telling them he was running out of patience at this point.

"I can’t accept what he said about the Luna!" Ethan said through his gritted teeth. His anger was so apparent and it was so rare for him to be so emotional like this.

Unless Ethan was triggered or someone provoked him, he wouldn’t usually lose his cool, especially at his own pack member.

Hearing what Ethan said, Cane directed his angry gaze at Oliver, who hung his head low, until his chin touched his chest, probably only now did he realize how much trouble he was in.

"What did you say about my mate?" Cane stalked toward Oliver and stood before him. The Alpha was so dominant, his presence alone demanded respect and recognition from the people around him. "Warrior, what did you say about your luna?"

"She is not my luna, Alpha," Oliver replied, clenching his jaw tight. He couldn’t hide this hatred and because they were already at this point, there was nothing he could do to deny what he had said. Sooner or later, the Alpha would learn about it. "I don’t accept her as my luna!"

Cane didn’t need to ask ’why’, because he had noticed the stern atmosphere among the warriors after the provocation from the royal warriors.

It was a simple scheme, but Cyan knew how to hit the right spot and it left a long effect. Cyan didn’t directly attack Cane, as she used a subtle method to ruin his foundation from inside and Cane’s absolute foundation was; the loyalty of his pack members.

Cyan tactfully used their hatred and the royal warriors’ provocation was like a slow acting poison, which would eventually kill you.

"Ethan, you can leave. Get your wounds checked." Cane didn’t need to hear more explanation. If what Oliver said could set Ethan off, it meant, he said something worse than not just accepting Iris as his luna and Cane was not sure that he could keep his calm if he heard any of those right now.

Ethan wanted to argue, but the look on the Alpha’s face must have told him that was not a good idea, so he walked away. He was still not in a good mood. His wounds had just started to heal, but he still felt like he wanted to vent out some of his anger somewhere else.

"Until when will you put the blame over her head for something she didn’t do?" Cane asked Oliver once Ethan had left the two of them alone.

Cane could feel the black wisp start to effuse from his palms, but he held it back and it disappeared before Oliver could notice. This killing intent that Cane felt didn’t belong to him alone, but in truth, he felt the same anger like the lycan did.

"I can’t, Alpha." Oliver lifted his head. "I tried, but I can’t accept her as the Luna of the pack. She doesn’t deserve you, she doesn’t deserve the title, she doesn’t deserve to be one of us!"

Oliver had put himself in this situation and there was no way for him to lie or go back on his words at this point, therefore, since he had no other option, it would be better if he told the Alpha what was in his mind.

"She is Gerald’s daughter and there is no amount of words that could convince me otherwise."

"Yes, there is no denying she is Gerald’s daughter," Cane said, he looked extremely calm in the face of the person, who openly hated his mate and it was terrifying. "But, what had she done to deserve your hatred?"

If this was someone else, Cane would banish Oliver for the way he talked about his mate resentfully, but Oliver knew the secret about the lycan and the fact the cursed creature was Cane. He couldn’t just banish him and risk the secret being revealed.

He needed to tread this matter meticulously. His enemies were desperately seeking his weaknesses and if he let go of Oliver. He would only hand them the thing they really wanted.

"Answer me, Warrior. What had she done that deserved your hatred?" Cane put his palms behind his back, his eyes were so sharp, he waited for Oliver’s answer to calculate his next move based on that.

"The fact that she is blood related to those nasty people is enough for her to receive my hatred!" Oliver growled in a low voice. One could tell that it was a bold move for him to be so disrespectful in front of his alpha to talk so bad about his mate. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

However, with how calm Cane was, indirectly, it encouraged Oliver to show more and more his animosity toward Iris, thinking the Alpha was actually listening to his complaints and may reconsider his decision regarding who would be his luna.

Their ceremony in the capital city for the new alpha and luna had not yet happened, because of everything that was going on there, in that case, the title was still open to someone else, who deserved it.

Nodding his head as if he understood his warrior’s grievances, Cane extended his hand and wiped the blood on Oliver’s forehead with the sleeve of his cloak. "I can understand how you feel."

Before, Cane never doubted his pack members, nor did he ever hesitate to entrust them with his life, but he was not really sure anymore, especially when there was another mole inside his pack, who had revealed the secret passageways.
