The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 829

Chapter 829: IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT

Aliana let Iris knew about Rora’s eyes when she told her that she remembered everything about her babies.

Both of them cried for the agony of losing their babies. Even though, it had been years, since Aliana lost hers, but it didn’t mean the grief would be disappeared.

Iris needed to talk about this with Aliana, because she knew she would understand her feeling better, as she had walked the same path before.

It was also Aliana, who told her that the grief would always be there, but by the time, you would be able to live with it. Iris would never be able to see her babies grew up and they would always be her babies in her memories.

Actually, Aliana didn’t see Rora’s eyes directly, but she heard this from Grace, because only the healer, Della and Hanna, who were there when baby Rora’s golden eyes faded and the color was replaced by the bluer pair of eyes that they had ever seen.

Iris felt this bittersweet when she heard that, because she wished, she would be able to see that too. She imagined how her baby with her blue eyes. She would look adorable...

Joel stayed with Iris and they talked about a few trivial things, enjoying this afternoon under the shade of the tree, until he told her about Redmond.

"Redmond is here?" Iris asked, she had not yet met with everyone, because she had been staying inside the pack house.

"Yes, he appeared during the battle all of sudden. We didn’t notice it too because the situation was chaotic, but then we remembered that he supposed to be staying back." Joel then told Iris that Redmond was meeting with the alpha today. "It seemed he came here alone because he brought an important news."

Iris was sure Cane would talk to her about this, but more importantly, eventually they would meet with everyone, especially with Abby and Cedric.

The knight had been hinting to meet with her, but somehow Cane managed to make him back off. There were a few questions he had about the lycan too and Cane promised would explain everything after everything had settled down, for now he wanted to focus on strengthening the fortress of this pack, since it would be their base.

They needed to do it quickly, just in case there was another sudden attack like what happened previously, which Cane doubted it, since it was only he and Iris, who knew what happened with Decratic.

"The pack member of this pack fear the alpha and our warriors are confused and wanted the alpha to explain about the lycan, but they are also scared to ask."

From Joel, Iris learned about the turmoil within their warriors. Albeit it sounded not really important, but actually, this matter was really crucial because having warriors, who questioned their alpha was not a good sign for going forward.

Iris listened to what Joel said attentively, describing what he had heard and seen.

"What about you?" Iris asked in the end of his explanation.

Joel was flustered when he was asked about his opinion about the alpha and Iris could understand that, so she teased him.

"Don’t worry, I will not tell Cane even if you were badmouthing him." Iris grinned to see the surprised on his young face.

"I will never say bad thing about the alpha, luna!" Joel said hastily.

"I believe that," Iris replied with a laugh and Joel became even more flustered when he realized the luna was only teasing him. "You can tell me about your opinion freely, Joel. I really wanted to hear about that." Iris then added. "Don’t sugarcoat your words. It will not help."

Giving the permission, Joel told Iris about what he thought about the situation with the alpha. He felt honor to be able to voice out his opinion, especially when the luna deemed his opinion was important when he was only a young warrior. The luna didn’t even mind to be escorted by him alone, instead of the other full fledged warriors.

"I believe in alpha, luna and I believe he will never intentionally hurt his people. He has been protecting us to the best of his ability and I believe the alpha has his own explanation about the lycan." Joel told Iris his true feeling and confided in her about how much he looked up to Cane.

With that, they spent the rest of the afternoon talking about a few things, while Lil Thing was happy enough to sleep on Iris’s lap. During this time, two bears approached them too and sat down not too far from them.

The two bears were the color of dark brown and honey brown. They were slightly smaller than Lil Thing.

And when the sun almost set, Cane came to fetch her, so both of them could have dinner together. They would have dinner together, though some time, Cane would go again until late at night to handle a few things.

But tonight, the alpha chose to stay with his mate, while outside the rain started pouring down. He added more firewood to make the room warm enough for Iris.

After their dinner, they decided to lay down, while staring at the rain through the open window.

"Do you want the window to be closed?" Cane asked, as he wrapped Iris tightly inside the blanket. She was wearing his shirt again, while he was shirtless. After all, this was too warm for the alpha.

"No." Iris snuggled against Cane’s chest. "I like it like this."

Cane kissed her forehead and played with her hair. It had been more than a week since what happened and they had recuperated, thus this was the right time to address the important matter that they had been avoiding.

"What happened back then?" Cane started and Iris understood what he meant, she had seen this coming and felt ready to discuss this problem as well.
