The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 108
108 MAKING A LOT OF MONEY
If the earth magic stone could be used as a defense, water magic stone could be used to speed up a healing process then the fire magic stone could be used as an offensive magic, while air magic stone… there was no record of it had ever been used, since it was so rare and only one person had it, the Serafim.
Unfortunately, Iris was not a magic user and no matter how great the magic stone was; she would never be able to use them. It was a
these stones.
Since they lived surrounded by
“If only I have a magical power, with a fire stone in my hand, I can use an offensive magic,” Iris said to herself with a sigh.
Cane frowned upon hearing that. “Why do you need an offensive magic for?”
“To protect myself,” Iris replied truthfully.
“What for?” It was not like she was exposed to danger every time.
“You know, I am a runt. If a shifter can protect themselves by shifting into their beast and the magic user could use their magical ability and a healer could use their healing power to be useful, I feel like I am very useless for not being able to do anything,” she said truthfully, there was a thread of bitterness in her voice.
To think about it, Iris really felt incompetent in anything and the mocking words that Masson kept telling her rang in her ears again. She was useless, a disgrace for the family, a scourge in their eyes.
“You can find magic stone,” Cane said in a matter of fact tone, which made Iris blinked her eyes.
“Is that a useful ability?” She didn’t think it was something that she could be proud of.
“You can make a lot of money out of it,” he said lightly. His overbearing demeanor from earlier had disappeared completely by now.
Iris thought about it for a while. Well, making a lot of money didn’t sound bad too…
The next day, they woke up very early, because they needed to leave before anyone could notice the alpha from the Howling Wolf pack and his small party were there.
But before that, Arthur and the old man, named Clad came to see him, just like how
Cane had ordered them to do.
Iris was standing next to the carriage, while Redmond was nagging her because she

went away last night without telling him anything and Cane could just sell her in one of
the brothels here, which was a ridiculous idea for Iris.
“Why would he sell me?” she frowned, feeling tired already to see him reproaching her.
“You don’t know what is inside that man’s head, he can do anything unthinkable, you
know.”
Iris pursed herself. “You don’t have any right to say that when you indulged yourself in the brothel last night,” she said in a matter of fact tone, which turned the shifter tongue tied.
“W–Who said that?” His eyes grew bigger.
But, of course, Iris wouldn’t sell Ethan out.
While Redmond was trying to defend himself and justified what he was doing last night, though Iris didn’t accuse him of anything, she was actually paying more attention to Cane, who were talking to Arthur and Clad.
He was talking about another matter about a few problems regarding the Red Claw pack, but what actually was it, she didn’t know much, because Cane shifted his body and she couldn’t read his lips again, while the other two would only listen to him
attentively.
“Are you listening to me?” Redmond actually snapped his fingers in front of her face, which startled her and pulled her attention back to him.
“What?”
“You didn’t listen to me?”
Iris was silence for a moment, before a mischievous smile etched on the corner of her lips, as she tapped her ears. “You know I can’t.”
Redmond was stunned. He forgot about that fact completely and could only stand there like a fool when Iris climbed onto the carriage, laughing at his expression.
The next two days of their journey to Moon Dew pack went uneventful, though they met mountain goblin, but such pest was easy to handle, since their number was not too
much.
However, the fifth day, after they left Crystal Moon pack, they met with two trolls, which destroyed their ration and made the rest of their journey became difficult.
“Damn it,” Redmond growled in annoyance to see the carriage that carried their rations. was destroyed, which was the same carriage that was used by Iris.

“I told you to go for it’s head, right?” Ethan grumbled to see their pitiful rations, scattered on the dirty ground, while the other two warriors took care the carcasses of the trolls, as they took out their heart before they turned into ghoul.
“I go for it head!” Redmond didn’t back down.
“Not the first troll, but the second troll!”
“I go for the second troll, you dimwit!”
“No, that’s the bigger one is the second troll!”
“No, that’s the first troll, I saw it first!”
The two of them bickering nonstops about this, but then it was not the first time for them to have this argumentation.
It could be said that they argued for the sake of arguing alone.
It seemed, they were too bored to do anything else.
Seeing how they started it again, Iris backed away and found Will, who was inspecting the rations that they managed to save.
“Do you think it is enough for us?” Iris crouched down next to him.
“Barely,” he replied gloomily. “Thankfully, we will arrive in two days.” He then looked around the forest. “I think we can survive by looking for game.”
Iris nodded and helped him to tidy things up.
“But, the problem is; you can’t take the carriage anymore. Can you ride a horse?” He asked in concern. They were short of one horse, if Iris needed to take one, but then, could she ride a horse?
“I don’t know how…” Iris said apologetically.
