The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: INCIDENT

Lu slouched his shoulders upon hearing their harsh rejection of his brilliant idea. Why could they accept Cane’s opinion and follow his every order blindly, but wouldn’t even consider his at all?

"Why not?" Lu looked at Iris sullenly, because she looked so mortified when he suggested that, even though this idea would benefit her as well. "You don’t want to have a child with me?"

Once again, Iris was not sure how she looked, but she didn’t want to look at her own reflection in the mirror right now. She knew it wouldn’t look great.

"You don’t even like those people, so what’s the problem here? Instead of getting rid of them and wasting such good resources, it will be great if we can make the best out of them."

"By... sacrificing them?" Ethan asked foolishly, as he was too shocked to hear such an idea coming out of Cane’s mouth, despite knowing it was not their alpha who was voicing it.

"Of course."

If there was one similar thing between Cane and Lu, it must be how they saw value in the people around them, but this lycan took it to a whole new level, radiating a different shade of darkness with this suggestion and his simple way of thinking.

"Luna... I don’t think we can deal with him..." Jace shook his head, as he massaged his temple. His voice sounded so exhausted, albeit him just sitting there while the day was still too early.

Iris held Cane’s hand, it was so cold to the touch, as if he had been holding a bunch of ice cubes. "No, no. We will not resort to anything involving dark magic, you are not going to perform any dark magic. Okay? Promise me."

"So, not fixing my penis? Which means no child?"

Iris really wanted to cry now, how could he talk about such a thing so freely without feeling any embarrassment at all. This was one topic that Cane wouldn’t talk about out loud, even the people around him, who knew about what happened, would be careful enough not to bring up the topic of him siring a child in front of him.

"No. No fixing it for now." Iris shook her head and then changed back the topic to dark magic. "No dark magic, no sacrifices, okay? Promise me, please."

Lu narrowed his red eyes. He didn’t say anything and only stared at Iris.

"Lu?"

"You are still going to make me promise the same thing again? No, I don’t want to. The last time I did, it cost me greatly." He turned his head to the other side, so he didn’t need to look at her pleading eyes, because it would falter his resolve.

Iris frowned. "When did I ever ask you to promise me something?" She shook his hand, but he refused to look at her.

Lu was determined to not answer her and ignored her completely now and because Iris kept holding his hand, which made his resolution falter, he moved to the sofa and lay down there, sleeping again that he was full now.

"The King will arrive tomorrow, what should we do?" Jace looked at Cane helplessly. "Can you do something to bring Cane back before the royals arrive?" He looked at Iris with expectation evident in his eyes. "Can you tell us again in detail how the lycan took over Cane’s body, probably we can figure out something to bring Cane back."

Iris bit her lip nervously, her guilty feelings resurfaced. She pulled at her hair in an attempt to calm herself, but it didn’t seem to work.

Thankfully, Ethan and Jace still didn’t suspect her and Haco was there to deflect the topic.

"Why don’t we check the preparations for tomorrow’s welcome party, maybe we can figure something out by the end of the day. I will stay here with the lycan..."

But, as soon as Haco finished speaking, Lu snapped at him from the sofa, glaring at him with his red eyes. "I don’t want to be with an old man like you."

"Damn it, Lu! You have used me for five decades and this is how you treat me now?" Haco glared back at the lycan.

For a moment, they threw dagger looks at each other. There were some occasions where Haco would be scared of the lycan, but he knew him better to know that this creature wouldn’t hurt him.

"Fine." Cane closed his eyes again, as if he was sleeping, but they couldn’t be sure about that.

With that, they went about their day and the sorcerer stayed in the study room with the lycan.
