The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 100
100 THAT’S ENOUGH
“You still think of me as a slave! I am just a slave in your eyes, a woman that has been defiled by many men in my attempt to protect you, because that’s the only way that I know of!” Aria’s eyes filled with tears, as she clenched her fists. “Meanwhile, she is the pristine daughter of the alpha! No matter how evil her father was; she is still holding higher status from all of us! You didn’t even bat an eye when you annulled her status from a slave to be your mate!”
“Enough, Aria.” Cane’s voice was so grim.
“You marked her!” Aria was panting, she breathed raggedly, as she was trying to contain her emotions, but her anger was so overwhelming, she couldn’t think straight when she spoke the next words. “Don’t
you
feel ashamed for the late luna Leana when you marked your enemy’s daughter? Claiming her as yours?”
Right after what she said, Cane grabbed her by her neck, as he pushed her against the wall, he didn’t strangle her, but murderous intention could be seen in his dark eyes. The coldness and animosity in those eyes sent shiver down her spine, she felt the room became colder.
“Don’t you dare to talk about my mate.”
Aria gulped down with difficulty, she feared him, but at the same time she was stubborn enough to look at him right in the eyes. “O- or what?”
“I will banish you from the pack.”
Banishment.
That was the worse word that Aria had ever heard coming from Cane’s lips.
Hearing that, Aria felt her legs were so weak, as she flopped down to the floor. She raised her head to look at Cane. His dark eyes were so calm and one thing that she knew from him was; he was not
threatening her, he warned her. This was an ultimatum from him.
“Y–you will abandon me for that bitch?”
Cane narrowed his eyes, displeasure flitted in his eyes when he heard the way she called Iris, but he didn’t call her out on that, instead, the alpha crouched down in front of her and cupped her face.
“I don’t abandon you for anyone and I will never do that.” He caressed her cheek, his voice was soothing, but it was so firm. “But, you have overstepped too far and I don’t appreciate that.”
Aria felt his callous palm against her cheek, as he wiped her tears. She didn’t feel the comfort.
“That’s enough, Aria. Stop it and this is the last time I tell you this.”
After saying that, Cane stood up and walked out of the room, but before that, Aria asked one more question. “What am I to you?”
Cane halted, he replied without turning back. “We have talked about it in the beginning.” And then he left her alone inside the bedroom.
That answer made Aria laughed in misery. She thought, after all these years they were together, she could change him. She would be able to change his heart, she thought by becoming his mistress, she

would be able to get him to love her. Making him a little bit affectionate with her.
But in the end, she only deluded herself.
Aria felt so unfair…
Rewards
Because Iris didn’t know how to ride a horse, there was a small carriage for her, which made Hanna unhappy.
“Why the alpha let you ride this carriage, you are not a baggage.” Hanna poked her head inside and pouted her lips.
“We will go to faraway place, it will be more inconvenient if I have to ride a horse in such long journey, it is already considerate of him to let me ride this,” Iris soothed Hanna’s disappointment.
Other people only knew that they would go to the Moon Dew pack because the merchant had slandered them and now they needed food to go through winter.
However, just like Aria, they didn’t understand why Iris had to go with them as well.
“I don’t like this, I don’t want you to go,” Hanna said sullenly, she had been behaving like this ever since she knew that Iris would go so far.
Iris chuckled, but then her expression became so tensed when she saw Cane walked out of the pack house, he was talking to his beta and another two men to distribute the task when he left.
In his absence, it would be Jace, who was responsible for this pack and the Blue Moon pack as well.
For this journey to the Moon Dew pack, it would be Ethan, Redmond, Will and Iris, with the other two warriors, but they wouldn’t come to the black market and stayed in the Dew Moon pack instead.
They had to keep it down, because a visit from an alpha from the other pack should be announced to the alpha of the pack, but they didn’t want to make a fuss about it.
They wanted to come as a buyer, not to have pleasantries with alpha Gallot.
From afar, Iris could read what they were talking about, mostly it was about the monster attack that might happened during this period of time because most of them would migrate to warmer place before winter came.
Iris.
Iris remembered he called her name last night, but how could that happen? She remembered his voice was so hoarse, but soft at the same time.
She had been thinking about that and thought it was only in her imagination.
On the other hand, sensing someone stared at him intensely, Cane turned his head and found Iris was looking at his direction before she averted her gaze and talked to Hanna beside her.
In these past two days, they didn’t speak or meet, but from Grace and Amee, he knew that Iris was fine and she would only need to rest.
Unconsciously, he looked at her neck, but with high collar dress that she was wearing, it was hard to tell whether the bruises were still there or not.
