The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

“Why do you have scars?” All of sudden, Iris changed the topic, as she looked at Cane in the eyes. She was still clutching to his sleeves. “Your father gave me,” Cane replied. He thought, Iris wouldn’t remember this conversation when she woke up. “That must be so painful.” “They are.” “Will the scars heal?” “I don’t think so.” The night indeed made you vulnerable and let you said something that you would never admit when it was bright. The obscurity softened your heart. “Too bad. You have a warm soul.” Iris frowned slightly. “I no longer have a soul.” He had sold his soul for the freedom of his people. There was nothing left of him right now. “Yes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. “Your beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul. Too bad, you are in so much pain… what my father and brother had done to you must be painful…” And after that, Iris closed her eyes and fell asleep. ====================== She is the daughter of an alpha who has killed his family, razed his pack and has also made his people slaves. Now, he has achieved revenge after ten years of being treated as a slave and was living a life that no one would ever imagine. Life akin to hell. And ten years later, Alpha Cane manages to take over and kill the alpha who has made the lives of his people worse than death. It was time for him to make the children of the alpha pay for what their father had done. Only… Iris was a runt and she was very different from her father.

LIFE CAN BE VERY CRUEL

The silence between them was deafening and it almost felt like they had reverted back to the very beginning, to the time when Cane saw her as Gerald's daughter and himself as her master.

 

And just like what was expected of him, there was no explanation. He didn't reopen the conversation about what Redmond had said earlier, he just kept silent. He let the other person think whatever she wanted, without him giving any idea over what was in his mind.

 

What Redmond said had opened a can of worms and this made all the progress, even the mate bond between them, pale in comparison to the pain that they tried to forget.

 

What traversed before was a bunch of unspoken things, it fell into the same list of the things that they pretended had never happened, just like how Cane found comfort every night by holding Iris close to him or how they talked about pain and scars the other night.
