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.

MORNING DISTURBANCE

Iris woke up the next morning and found herself alone. She looked at the spot beside her and knew Cane had slept there last night because that side was slightly unkempt, but it seemed he left very early in the morning.

 

Iris couldn't recall his presence, because she slept throughout the night and didn't wake up at all. She was very tired after their long journey and had seemingly passed out the moment her head hit the pillow and felt the comfort of the bed after weeks of sleeping inside the shaking carriage.

 

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. She felt like she could continue to sleep until noon, but then Hanna entered the bedroom with a tray full of breakfast. Her face looked ecstatic to see Iris was up, as she giggled when she saw her hair. It almost looked like a lion's mane, as it framed her tiny face.
