The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy’s Daughter Chapter 163

163 HE LOOKED SO LONELY

The grain had been received in the Howling Wolf pack four days before Cane and the other arrived. Jace was responsible for the distribution and had delivered half of it to the Blue Moon pack as well. During the absent of the alpha and luna, it was the beta, who had handled everything, thus Cane would only need to follow up everything

However, a few hours before Cane’s party arrived, he got a decree from the king, to summon Cane and Iris for the ceremony and also Ethan for his punishment, because he had attacked the royal family.

Jace was not clear what had happened, but from what he knew from the messenger, it was a great offense.

“What the fuck is he thinking?!” Jace roared in anger after he got the detail information from Will.

Currently, they were in the alpha’s study room, but Ethan was not there, he had gone somewhere once they entered the wall of the pack.

“Well, I can’t really blame him, that bastard of crown prince was really a testament of your patient” Will frowned when he remembered how Alan had provoked Ethan. He knew how to stab him with his nasty words.

Meanwhile, outside, the temperature had dropped and the weather had turned cold, still it hadn’t snowed yet.

With the grain that they got from the black market, they could go through winter, but if the king became extremely petty, he could find fault on Cane for buying something from the black market,

People didn’t talk about the black market openly, it was a public secret and a hush–hush topic, where the royal family could be hypocrite about it.

They could punish anyone for going there when at the same time, they did exactly the same dirty

trade.

“This is a serious matter,” Jace said grimly. “What are you going to do about it, alpha?”

Yet, before the conversation could continue, someone entered the room without permission, the door was suddenly burst opened and there, Aria strode inside with a huge grin on her lips. Her eyes lit up to see Cane.

“You have returned!” Aria rushed toward Cane like an arrow. She raised her beautiful dress, so she

wouldn’t step on it when she ran.

On the other hand, Jace and Will grimaced to see her. It was a habit of Aria to enter the room without knocking first or asking for permission, she really acted as a mistress of the pack, a luna even.

In another day, they could compromise her behavior, but when they were in the middle of important discussion, it was annoying to be interrupted like this.

“Aria, I think you need to leave for now, we are in the middle of discussion,” Jace said, but she simply walked past him and approached Cane.

“I really missed you!” Aria said, she was about to throw herself to his arms when Cane held her by the

She felt her heart Serhat by hoa cations Came was, though he had never been particularly warm toward her, but she thenight after years being together, she could change that.

Came het go of her shoulder. It could be said that he was very lenient of her. If it was someone else, they wouldn’t be let go without facing consequences for barging into his study.

But still, Arta didn’t see it that way. She only saw rejection and this made her heart hardened. What are you going to do now?” Jace continued the conversation, once Aria had closed the door. They acted like there was no interruption.

will go to see Mason, Cane replied.

“Why are you going to see him for?” Will couldn’t comprehend this, so did Jace.

Near the fireplace, Iris was chatting with Hanna, sitting on a comfortable rug and warmed their body with a glass of hot chocolate.

“This lizard is so cute!” Hanna cradled the little creature in her hands, as it curled its body comfortably. “It will make it easier to lit up the fire!” She was so excited.

The fire in the fireplace also, was lit up by this little fellow.

Iris didn’t tell her about how the lizard was hatched from a magic stone, since Cane didn’t allow her to tell anyone about this, therefore, she told Hanna that she found it.

“This little thing is so cute,” Hanna gushed. “Can I show it to my friend? I will get us another cup of hot chocolate again!” She saw Iris’s glass was already empty.

“Okay”

Hanna then hastily walked out of the room, with a tray of two glasses in one hand and the lizard in the other.

“Friend?” Iris muttered to herself, her face became gloomy when she heard that word.

It was so easy for Hanna to find a friend, while she only had her and couldn’t be said that they were friend. The rank between them was there and Hanna would never call Iris as her friend, no matter how close they were.

Feeling dejected, Iris walked toward the window and saw a familiar figure there. He looked so lonely.

Ethan? What is he doing there?”
