The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: DIANDEM PACK

It didn’t take long for Grace to examine Zale and report it to the Alpha.

"He is clean, Alpha," the healer told the Alpha after a thorough examination.

Cane was standing next to the carriage, while Iris stared at him through the window, listening to their conversation. He had his back to her, but he could imagine how her blue eyes lit up with happiness upon hearing what Grace informed him.

After all, it meant Zale was allowed to come with them. It was not that Iris wanted someone to pledge their loyalty to her, but it felt nice to think she could help even one person from that pack. It eased her guilt a lot.

"He is fine, but he is underfed, we need to concentrate more on nourishing his health back first." Grace then glanced at Iris. "He is not willing to tell me his name, until he meets with you, Luna."

"That young boy has guts," Cane commented. It was hard to tell, whether it pissed him off or he simply praised him in a weird way.

"Zale! His name is Zale," Iris said. "I will go see him..."

"We will leave now, we have been delayed for long enough already, we need to reach the Diandem pack by tomorrow," Cane cut her off and turned around.

Iris grimaced and smiled at Grace. "Could you please tell him I will see him later?"

"Sure, Luna."

But, before Cane could get into the carriage, he was stopped by someone else and it was Ethan.

"I have not yet received any update on Oliver’s arrival from the Riverside pack, they said, he is not yet there." Ethan frowned. Because Oliver moved alone, he should have arrived by now, since he could move faster in his beast form.

"Let’s wait for one more day," Cane said lightly, his callous expression didn’t give away anything.

"Oh, right... I think I am just a little bit worried," Ethan mumbled. They did not part on good terms and the last time he saw Oliver was when he left him to talk alone with the Alpha. And right after that, Cane sent him to overlook the construction of the tunnel in the Riverside pack. So, it had been weighing on his mind.

Cane said nothing and entered the carriage to find Iris smiling at him, which eased his heart a little bit. She didn’t look upset with the way he turned her down earlier. They had been delayed for so long just for that young boy. so, his reason that she couldn’t meet the boy yet was true, but only partly.

"How do you know his name is Zale?" Cane asked Iris.

She pinned him with that foolish grin of hers.

"Remember when I said there was a young boy under the ruins and his sister was looking for help to get her brother out?"

"He is that boy?"

"Yes, his sister told me his name." That spirit girl called him a few times when she looked around to find the right spot, where they were buried. "What?" Iris was a little bit flustered with the way Cane stared at her intensely.

"Nothing." Cane shook his head and pulled her closer, hugging her as if it was his favorite thing to do whenever he was being idle.

With that, they continued their journey, which took one more day and night to reach the Diandem pack.

The two of them tangled in another passionate night once the night became so quiet and only half of them were awake.

Meanwhile, the young boy was sleeping on the cold ground, curling his small and skinny body, without complaining, because some warriors didn’t care about him and those who did care, didn’t pay close attention to him.

Only after a while did a certain white fur ball drop its ass close to him and lie down by his side, giving him warmth.

In the morning, Zale was shocked to see Lil Thing so close to himself. He had seen this creature when he was being taken care of by the healer after the attack that took away the only family he had. But then realized this creature was the reason why he didn’t feel cold when he was sleeping, in return, he cleaned up Lil Thing’s fur from dirt and leaves, while waiting for the chance he could meet with the Luna again.

It was afternoon when they finally arrived at the Diandem pack.

This pack was rather lively and their entourage was greeted by a few people on the streets. Most of them were women, donned in beautiful dresses.

Along the streets, these people would wave their hands and smile brightly at them. It was quite a contrast to what they had seen in the Silver River pack.

"They look happy to greet us," Iris said lazily, as she stared outside through the window of the carriage, while lying down on Cane’s chest.
