The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: FIRST KISS

"It was a stage! In order to strip Kellan from his position and smear his name!" Mason spoke through his gritted teeth. He glared at Cane viciously, as he curled on the dirty ground because he stabbed his thigh again, which was now bleeding profusely.

"What was their deal?" Cane asked, walking back to the fireplace to heat the iron rod again. The sight of it alone made Mason sick.

"I don’t know! What do you think an eighteen year old boy knows about their deal?!"

As the only heir to the Alpha title of one’s pack, at the age of eighteen years, you would find yourself involved in many things and have long familiarized yourself with a lot of aspects that you would inherit sooner or later, especially things like a long term plan for the pack.

At the age of eighteen, an heir should be able to have a voice of opinion and learn about most of the deals within the pack, they would also be included in decision making.

However, it seemed, that was not the case with Mason, because he was very ignorant about all of that, but then, after ten years of observation, Cane didn’t find it really surprising.

"So, you want to say that the King was involved in the attack on my pack ten years ago?" Cane asked languidly, as he poked at the firewood with the rod.

Cane remembered that his pack was overpowered at that time, but based on what he knew, there was no way Gerald’s warriors alone could outnumber them. He must have gotten outside help.

And his best guess was the King’s royal warriors.

Mason scoffed. "No way. My father conquered your pack with our own warriors! He conquered your measly pack by himself!" He said proudly.

Cane glanced at Mason over his shoulder and could tell that he was genuinely bragging about what he believed to be true. It was either he was right, or he was completely ignorant about the whole thing, but Cane was more inclined toward the latter.

"What about Iris’ mother? Why did she die?" Cane asked again. There was no official report about her death. It only said; one day she got sick and then died. It was ridiculous, since a shifter wouldn’t die just by getting sick. It was even a rare case to find a shifter getting sick.

"She got sick and then died," Mason said simply.

Hearing that, Cane closed his eyes. He wasted his time here. Even though there was a possibility of Mason trying to hide the truth, for someone as observant as Cane, not to mention how overly conscientious and cautious he was, his words seemed believable.

Gerald didn’t let his son delve too deeply into his dirty plans, knowing his personality. In the end, that old man was very cunning and vigilant, even with his own son.

"Do you know any living family from Iris’ mother’s side?"

============================

Iris laughed at the story that Ethan told everyone, as they surrounded him, eagerly listening to his story from his youth, the time when the Howling Wolf pack was still under Cane’s father’s reign.

He was a good storyteller.
