The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

Iris knew Cane was suspicious of Lady Cyan and he was cautious of her. Instead of the King, Cane actually put his attention more on the Lady.

If it was in the past, she would have started fidgeting the moment she understood what Lady Cyan was trying to imply and be bothered when the topic of Aria came up. She didn’t want to be blamed for her death, because somehow, she felt that way, since the people in the Howling Wolf pack mourned her death so much.

As she was the first person who was sentenced to death by Cane. The first death order that happened after they freed themselves from the slavery.

However, now, since Iris didn’t have too many expectations on these people, she felt a little bit lighter and it was less stressful than groveling to be accepted by them.

On the other hand, Cane put down his glass and looked at Lady Cyan calmly to answer her question. "My Lady, are you trying to say that I have ordered Aria to kill those three innocent children? Because that’s what she did. Not only did she get involved with dark magic, but she killed children as well. The punishment fits the crime." Cane smiled harmlessly. "I am trying to be fair here. I even ordered the death sentence of my own mistress, it shouldn’t surprise you that I immediately executed the five alphas for the same crime."

That was a very logical thing to do. Cane was being fair by delivering the same execution to a similar crime.

Iris lowered her head and smiled to herself at Cane’s reply. Her face brightened with satisfaction, she was so proud of him for turning the tables around and being so calm to answer Lady Cyan’s jab. She never doubted this man when it came to twisting words.

And he was her man...

The thought made her blush, reminding her of her numb hand and his face when he got his release. Well, the sight of him was worth the pain...
