The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

WARNING! -DARK ROMANCE- “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.

A LESSON TO LEARN

Later that night, after Iris and Cane had their dinner, they talked for a bit before the exhaustion hit Iris. It was a long day for her, a tired one at that, since she went through a lot of turmoil and everything that happened in the span of the last two days had drained her emotionally. All she needed right now was a good sleep.

 

Cane was there to hold her when she drifted into her slumber, patting her back in soothing motion, as he occasionally kissed her head.

 

He didn't think he had completely gotten her back, as she was in so much pain and it would take her more time to heal, but sometimes, there was a wound that couldn't be healed no matter how long you endured it. You would have to live with it and it was fine… as the pain would remind you how you had survived to this point.

 

He wished nothing for her, but to be strong, in her mind, in her heart, because she would need that strength to go through what would come later.
