It was so early in the morning and the sun had not yet appeared on the horizon. The sky was still so dark when Cane and Redmond entered the Luna’s bedroom. The Gamma followed them inside as well, as he wanted to know what Cane was going to talk with Sofia.
Redmond protested because he didn’t want this nosy gamma to learn about this and then taunt him, but he couldn’t complain when the Alpha didn’t have any objection when Ethan came with them as well.
Inside the room, Sofia was sound asleep, seemingly her excitement couldn’t keep her awake for a whole night while it was already way too past her sleeping time.
Her scent distracted Redmond’s mind, as it smelled so sweet for him, but he couldn’t help but inhale it deeply. He felt annoyed by his own reaction to her presence and the sight of her sleeping form on the bed was something that would be forever engraved in his mind.
Sofia had her back to them, as her shoulders moved up and down rhythmically, as she breathed. The sight of her back made her look fragile
"Wake her up," Cane said lightly. He stopped a few steps away from the bed and sat down on the furthest chair from the bed.
"The Alpha asked you to wake her up," Ethan said, as he nudged Redmond’s shoulder, there was a smirk on the corners of his lips, which vexed the warrior.
"Why should I? Why don’t you wake her up?!" Redmond growled. He wanted to scratch his face, until it bled.
However, Ethan simply shrugged. "It’s not me who got her pregnant. That’s the mother of your baaabbyyy..." He said the last word in the most annoying tone, which set Redmond off.
"Do you want to fight?!" Redmond barked, as he glared at the Gamma dangerously. "Come here! I will beat you up!"
"Oh, you don’t have the strength for that!" Ethan glared back at him, as he stepped away from Redmond, just in case, he was serious with his threat, while the Alpha couldn’t care less about these two people, who were going to kill each other.
The commotion from these two finally woke Sofia up and she screamed when she saw the two of them inside her room. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"What are you doing here?!" Sofia shouted at the two of them, which essentially stopped them from going for each other’s throats. "Get out! Get out! Aargghh!"
However, neither Redmond, nor Ethan moved from their positions, as they watched how Sofia screamed at the top of her lungs with emotionless expressions, as if they were waiting for her to stop and be calm enough to talk.
Sofia only stopped screaming when she finally saw Cane. She looked mortified. "Al- alpha! I don’t know why the two of them are here! I didn’t do anything with them! I don’t know why they are here!"
She looked so afraid fearing she would be accused of something she didn’t do. And maybe because she just woke up with a start, her mind wasn’t yet working properly, so she couldn’t tell Cane had been there watching everything and the three actually came together.
"Al- alpha Cane, please believe me, I didn’t do anything with them! I just woke up!" Sofia looked panicked. She tried to get Cane to talk, but he only stared at her. He only spoke when she stopped rambling, not knowing what else to say to make the Alpha believe her.
"I am only going to say this once, so listen carefully." Cane’s expression was devoid of any emotions, so Sofia couldn’t tell what he was going to say. "The baby in your stomach is not mine, it was not me who had sex with you that night."
Sofia put her arms around her belly out of instinct, she looked very defensive. "Alpha! How can you say something like that!?" Sofia screeched, she fought back her tears, as her voice cracked. She looked so hurt hearing the accusation. "I have never had any intercourse after that night we spent together. I can assure you the baby is yours! The baby is definitely yours!" Sofia was adamant, she missed the other detail of what Cane said.
"How can you prove the baby is mine?" Cane looked unsympathetic, as he asked Sofia callously.
"You are from the royal bloodline, when the baby is born, the baby will have golden eyes just like the members of the royal family," Sofia said. Alpha Gallot had told her about it.
Though it was not a secret, such knowledge was not something that Sofia had ever heard beforehand, so Alpha Gallot had prepared her for the answer.
Cane probably was not really aware about how many people’s hearts he had won. His good name spread so far and wide. People would use him as an example for a good leader, while the woman would gush over the fact he didn’t have any mistresses and how well he treated his luna.
Even more when he chased after the lycan to save his mate. Without even waiting for any back up, he looked for his mate alone.
Fighting the lycan by himself to get back his mate was, by any means, a suicidal attempt, but the Alpha didn’t care about that. He still went to rescue his luna.
He didn’t know how many women would kill to get such attention from their mate. He did something that no alpha had ever done, he went to extra lengths for his soulmate.
And Sofia couldn’t be more proud of him when she heard how Cane distributed food for the members of the five packs, the food that their alphas had amassed during winter, which caused a lot of deaths.
Sofia flaunted to the people in the Riverside pack how she was carrying the Alpha’s child, that very alpha, who people talked about.
The Alpha only had his eyes for his luna, that was what people said, but then with this baby, she would be the only mistress for him, right?
Sofia painted a beautiful image of her future in her head.
But now, Cane said this baby was not his? She refused to believe that!
"No, Alpha... don’t do this to me and our child..." Sofia whimpered softly, she bit her lip to stop herself from crying, her heart ached so badly when she saw there was no warmth in the way Alpha Cane looked at her. "Please, don’t abandon me and the child."
"Listen carefully." Cane didn’t seem to care about her tears. He looked so callous and calculative at this moment. "You can work for me and I can keep you alive, or you can continue to work for Alpha Gallot and I will make sure your death will be near. Once the baby is born and it has no golden eyes, you will be hanged even before the baby is bathed."
