The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65: I WILL LET YOU GO

"I don’t want to pledge my loyalty to anyone from the Howling Wolf pack, I just want to pledge my loyalty to someone from the Blue Moon pack." Redmond lifted his chin. "My loyalty is still with my pack. I will not pledge my loyalty to you, an alpha from the Howling Wolf pack."

"Mason will never be an alpha," Cane cut straight to the point. "If you want to pledge your loyalty to him, go ahead. You can accompany him in the dungeon along with your minions."

For someone like Redmond, it would be better to go to labor than to be locked inside that damned place.

Redmond hissed when he heard the way Cane called his comrades as minions, but he couldn’t really retaliate right now.

"I don’t mean Mason," Redmond said slowly. "You didn’t merge the packs, which means the most eminent person in the Blue Moon pack right now is your mate. Miss Iris. I want her."

The way he said ’I want her’ was really ambiguous and sounded inappropriate, as he wanted to get back at Cane for calling his fellow warriors minions.

But, to his disappointment, Cane didn’t look upset at all.

"She is not in the condition to receive your loyalty. I will let her know whether she wants it or not when she wakes up." Cane then turned around and walked away. He didn’t really give Redmond a conclusion at all.

Everyone must have known about Iris and what happened to her ten days ago by now.

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

Another day passed. It had been ten days since that incident in the front yard and from that day, Cane didn’t allow her to come closer to his living quarters. It meant Aria couldn’t go to his bedroom, nor could she go near Iris’ bedroom, since their rooms were right next to each other’s.

"Damn it! That bitch!" Aria was exasperated because she really needed to talk to Cane. She wanted him to hear her side of the story, because she knew someone would have already let him know that she was the one who had instigated the people to begin with then.

But, she didn’t even hurl a single rock in her direction. She didn’t harm her, yet why was she the one being punished? This was not fair.

Aria paced back and forth inside her bedroom, while Dalia was staring at her, standing next to Bian. They didn’t know what to do to calm the mistress down.

Her mood was getting worse by the day, while her being forbidden from going to the alpha’s living quarters only added fuel to her current problematic emotional state.

"This will not do... this will not do..." Aria bit her nails, her habit whenever she was anxious. "It has been ten days. It is even longer than the last time we were intimate."

Usually, it wouldn’t take this long for Cane to call her over. To be honest, he had never called her. It was always Aria who would go and take care of his needs. She was the one who always took the initiative, because she knew Cane’s situation, where once aroused, he must go through with the deed.

That was only one among a dozen deranged things that were included in their arrangement after those abusive ten years.

It was not easy for Aria to seduce him, but then, usually he would give in to her and before this, he had never banned her presence. He never got angry when she barged into his room without announcing it first either.

"What should I do now?" Aria muttered to herself, as she walked back and forth inside her bedroom. "What should I do now..."

In the end, Aria decided to go to the training grounds the next morning. Since she knew he would be there, she decided to talk to him no matter what. She would beg and not move from her place if she had to go to such lengths just to make Cane listen to her.

And that was what she did.

On the eleventh day since Iris fell unconscious, Aria went to the training grounds, where the sound of vicious growls and roars shook the ground.

The training ground in this Blue Moon pack was built like a huge stadium, with grandstand seats circling the center, where the spectators could have a good view from their seats.

Aria easily spotted the alpha, since he was in his black beast and stood out from the rest. She sat down and waited for him to finish with the training, but Will came to her first.

"You can’t be here," Will said before he sat down next to her, watching the alpha teach the young warriors how to fight in their beast form. It was great that the youngsters were willing to train to become warriors, since they really needed them now.

"Why can’t I be here?" Aria asked him back. Her mood immediately plummeted for being told the same thing over and over again. It seemed, once she lost the alpha’s affection, nobody would respect her anymore.

"The alpha is busy."

"I will not disturb him, I will wait until he is done with the training," Aria said irritably. "I have been with him for three years now, I know how he is." With Will questioning her, she felt a little bit annoyed. "And I have known him for more than fifteen years, ever since I came to the Howling Wolf pack. I am his former mate’s personal servant after all."

Aria knew Leane longer than Cane, because she originally followed her missy around and was taken to the pack house to accompany Leane when she found out that her mate was the son of the alpha.

Meanwhile, Will couldn’t refute that. However, Aria missed the whole point here.

"It is not that you can’t see him forever, the alpha only needs some time for himself." Will tried to explain the situation gently. "There are a lot of things that he had to deal with now that we know there is a spy that the king had sent to trouble us."

He was used to talking about things like this with Aria, because despite everything that happened recently, they had gone through so much together. She used to be so close to the alpha and his gamma and beta than any other pack member.

"I know, I heard about that from Ethan," Aria replied. Her eyes were fixed on the black beast and for a brief second she felt like their eyes met, but probably it was only in her desperate mind. "Is she still unconscious?"
