The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter-Chapter 20: THEY WANT TO SEE HER
Chapter 20: THEY WANT TO SEE HER
"Her father is evil, but she protected your daughter’s life with hers," Hanna pleaded with Stone. "She is not like her father."
"She is the seed of her father, what do you mean that she is nothing like him? Just because she was born as a runt, she is not as wicked as her father?" One of the slave trainers chimed in.
However, Hanna looked at them pleadingly. "Please... if it is not for her, at the very least, please, do it for me, I have helped you so much in the past."
Hanna was talking about the time when they were still slaves for Alpha Gerald and how she helped them as much as she could, even though she was only a servant.
Because of that, many people from the Howling Wolf pack knew her and were very grateful for what she had done for them. Hanna could live a good life rather than following the daughter of the wicked alpha, but she chose the latter.
They couldn’t understand why she was so fond of this young girl.
"I have done so much for you." Hanna didn’t like to mention this, but she would do anything to save her missy.
Stone clenched his jaw. They wouldn’t have a second thought to help Hanna, but to help Alpha Gerald’s daughter, the pain and torture that they had to endure for a decade was still fresh in their memories and some of them would have it for the rest of their lives, marring their skin.
"Take her to her room and call a healer for her."
It was Alpha Cane who walked toward the commotion with his shirt drenched in blood, but it was obvious that it was not his blood, but of those monsters, while his other injuries had started to heal.
"Yes, alpha..." Only then, they moved to help Hanna to take Iris, since it was their alpha’s order and they didn’t have the capacity to refuse that.
"Thank you, Alpha. Thank you so much!" Hanna bowed a few times to Cane before she followed the man, who carried Iris on his back. She was crying to see Iris’ condition.
On the other hand, Cane followed her movement with his sharp eyes. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
He heard about what Hanna had done to his people and he helped Iris as a token for her good deed. But, it still didn’t sit right with him to see how loyal Hanna was to Iris, even though Alpha Gerald’s reign had ended.
The man carried Iris’ body to the slave room, the one she shared with Hanna and laid her down on the bed gently, and the healer came not long after that.
"I wonder why you have to cry for her." The healer looked at Hanna, not able to understand the tears that streamed down her cheeks.
"She doesn’t deserve this," she replied softly.
The healer regarded her sharply. "She deserved every painful moment."
Hanna clamped her mouth shut, she held herself from talking back to her.
============================
"Not only the king will be here, but the alpha from the five packs will be here as well." Ethan clicked his tongue, as he read the five messages from the five alphas that informed them of their arrival. "What is this? Are they trying to oppress us? Showing their power, so we will not merge the two packs?"
Ethan didn’t like this situation at all.
"No, they will not do that," Jace said lightly. "They are coming to see Iris."
Both of them were in the library, this was a quiet place, where the beta preferred to do his job, since the scenery from here was beautiful and it gave a sense of peacefulness to him.
Something that he appreciated the most. This sense of peacefulness was something that he could only dream of when they spent their days in slavery.
Ethan frowned. "A king and five alphas, are they looking for a welcoming party?" He felt distasteful when he mentioned that. Everyone knew what it meant. It was an event where the main point would be to seek pleasure.
Sex, alcohol and drugs everywhere. You would find yourself buried in the excitement of it.
But not for slaves and those lowly born, because it was time for them to be the subjects of their masters and alphas. Violence was unavoidable, as they would throw crazy ideas over how to hype up the party further. They couldn’t care less if they had to kill three or four slaves during that time.
That was degrading.
"They want to see Iris." Jace’s face didn’t show any emotion.
"Let’s throw her to them," Ethan commented callously. "And let them have their own party."
Jace knew that Cane would have refused to hold such a notorious party for them if their situation allowed them to do so.
However, for a new alpha like him with unstable political hold and the fact how vulnerable their pack to an attack right now, it was simply impossible. They would take offense to it.
"They want to see the runt, since Gerald had never allowed her to be around people. They are curious about her," Ethan concluded.
"Yes, and Cane will use this to have a talk with the king about the merge of the two packs, because he is the alpha now." Jace added. "There are a lot of things that Cane must do to strengthen our power and get support."
Ethan fell into a deep thought as well.
They thought they would finally live the way they wanted after they freed themselves from slavery under Cane’s command, but as it turned out, all of this was just the beginning...
"Do you want to make a bet?" Ethan grinned, he pushed those difficult thoughts to the back of his head.
"Stop gambling," Jace growled at the gamma.
"Nah, I am not gambling." He waved his hands. "What do you think will happen to the runt? I heard Alpha Gill from Riverside pack wanted to take her as one of his mistresses."
Jace resumed writing the report in front of him. "None of my business."
