The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 834

Chapter 834: ABBY’S DECISION

The word that Iris said about how Cane still thought of him like a father hit him hard. He saw Cane as his best friend’s son and for him to look up to him like that sent a mixed feeling in his mind.

"I did it because of that. I don’t need anything else." Iris grabbed Cane’s hand. "Your son will be fine and if you kept insisting to side with Kellan, that’s on you. With this, my mate can sincerely fight you."

Iris could see how this revelation shocked alpha Derick, for them not to demand anything from him. Cane was right about the reaction that alpha Derick would have with the way they responded after saving Cezi’s life. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

"With this, you owed us, but we don’t owe you anything, so when the time came and you were still unable to see the truth, there is no regret."

After Iris’s last word, Cane took Iris with him, he himself didn’t say anything, but instead, it gave a great impact on alpha Derick, as he could only stood there, speechless out of his mind.

Later on, inside the carriage, Iris asked more detail about Cane’s decision not to take this opportunity to get alpha Derick on their side.

"We can demand him to take our side and do something with Kellan’s warriors." In Iris’s mind in that way, it would be an easy access for them to reach alpha Colter.

However, Cane had different opinion. "He will only resent me if I did that. Alpha Derick is still in the state where he respects and adores him so much, for the alpha to betray him will give him an internal conflict."

Cane pulled Iris toward her and caressed her cheeks, he liked the fire in her eyes, she looked so alive and well.

"I don’t want to have someone who harbored resentment by my side, Iris. Having someone like that, will only put you in great danger." Keeping someone like that would only put you in disadvantage, since it would be hard to judge, where they stood. "You saw it yourself, Cezi will be the key for this."

If they wanted to get alpha Derick and Celestial Moon pack to their side, alpha Derick had to open his eyes to the truth and willingly get away from Kellan’s clutch.

And for that, Cezi’s role in this game was critical.

Cane had guessed it that after his meeting with Cezi, it had left doubt on him about Kellan and what Iris saw when she healed him confirmed that.

"Alpha Derick loves his children. He will not believe me if I presented the evidence under his nose because in his eyes, I am the enemy of the person he respected, but it will be different story if the evidence was presented by his own children."

With Cane didn’t demand anything from alpha Derick, it would leave him in a complicated position and made him restless, while Cezi would do the rest.

Iris thought about that and once again, she was amazed with the way Cane handled thing. He thought everything ahead. He appeared genuine to help, but as it turned out, he was anything but sincere.

"You are playing a long game," Iris stated and Cane pinched her chin, so she looked at him. "You make other people do your bid."

"Yes, I did." Cane put less effort to gain a massive benefit and manipulated people and situation to fit into his plan.

Iris narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. "You know what? You are a very cruel person."

Cane didn’t seem offended with what Iris said, if anything, it seemed he enjoyed this conversation with her. "Why do you think so?"

Iris thought about it for a while and then came with an analogy. "If you don’t like something, you will not immediately kill it. Hm..." She bit her lip to think of an imaginary situation. "If you don’t like a frog, you will not immediately kill it, but you will approach it, caress it and put the frog inside a pot, let it swims, but if you saw there is no more benefit from the frog, you will set fire under the pot and let the frog boiled to death."

Cane laughed with Iris’s analogy, he found joy to hear her imaginary situation and kissed her lips. Iris let him kissed her until both of them panted.

"I am sure, you have no scrupulous to kill alpha Derick in battle, neither you will feel guilty." Iris knew what she said was right when she saw how bright Cane’s eyes were. "You only try this method because he still can benefit you."

Cane pushed her down and hovered above her, he put his palm against her breast and squeezed it lightly.

"Sometime, it’s not good to be too smart, love." Cane then kissed her harder, leaving all the warriors around the carriage flustered.

"There they are, having it again!" Ethan grumbled in low voice, while Aliana tried to ignore the noises sound from inside the carriage from the alpha and the luna.

Well, they were happy for the two of them, especially after what they had gone through, but they would be grateful if they could tone it down a little bit for their sanity. Thank you.

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

What Iris said was right, Cezi’s condition improved tremendously and a week later, he woke up for the first time.

All this time, alpha Derick hid Cezi’s progress from prince Kellan, even though he didn’t know why he did this. Maybe because he didn’t want the prince to question him of how Cezi could fight the disease.

But, what helped the alpha the most was the fact the prince had never really visited Cezi, he only asked about his condition and believed whatever alpha Derick told him. Therefore, it made it easier for alpha Derick to lie.

Not to mention the prince was too busy to prepare the warriors to go to the battle with alpha Colter’s warriors. The magic users with them could feel the barrier weakened and they were confident they could break through it, which was a great news, since they had been waiting for this moment for months now.
