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.

DON'T TOO HARSH ON HER

Iris was not sure what she wanted to achieve when she said those words to Cane. She did it in the heat of the moment, she wished for him to know how much his decision had disappointed her, but now when she thought about it again, Iris felt like she was so insensitive. 

 

Of course, Cane cared so much about his people, though he didn't show it openly, but she should have known about it in the very beginning and her comment was so insensitive for her to not thinking about his feeling right now. 

 

Iris stared outside of the window, feeling guilty, but she couldn't rest her conscience with the thought they were leaving. 

 

It was not that Cane didn't help these people at all, he helped them with the basic thing they needed to survive and even order Grace to heal them, or commanded his warriors to pull the dead bodies and gathered them in one place, so they could give their loved one a proper burial.
