Sofia was having a hard time finding Cane. For one, he was always unavailable while the second reason was her pregnancy. She got used to sleeping for longer hours and that added to the difficulty.
But right now, when she saw Cane for the first time after the breakfast incident, she was so relieved, but then the death of Jemma hit her again so hard. They had been together for years and now she lost her companion.
The reason why Sofia didn’t stop Jemma was because that was how they usually acted in the Moon Dew pack. As Alpha Gallot had a lot of mistresses, they would fight over everything and Jemma would always be the aggressive one, while Sofia would keep up a front.
However, this was not the Moon Dew pack and Jemma messed up with Iris at the wrong time. She would have left unscathed if she had faced the timid Iris from the past, who didn’t suffer any of those horrendous things that happened to her in the past six months.
"Alpha Cane! She killed my friend! She killed my personal maid! I want justice for her death!" Sofia screamed between her cries, while Maria was trying to calm her down and remind her about the baby in her stomach. She was worried Sofia would collapse again.
Maria was trying to console Sofia when she accidentally heard Jemma had died, thus she took her for a walk. They went to the garden, but Sofia did not feel good and kept crying, thus Maria was about to get her to see Grace and it was when they met the Alpha.
"Alpha Cane! Please, deliver justice for my friend!" Sofia cried so hard, her face turned red.
Meanwhile, Lu simply scrunched his nose up, disgusted by the sight before his eyes.
What was this? Runny nose? So disgusting. Why was her saliva all over the place? Didn’t she realize that? Couldn’t she wipe her face first before talking?
Lu didn’t like this sight. He wanted to find his Iris and give this concoction to his mate. He couldn’t understand why Cane had to wait, they had arrived in this pack for five days already, but he had not yet told Iris about it at all.
Yes, and within those five days, a lot of things had happened.
"Alpha Cane!" Maria approached Cane and she gathered her courage to block the Alpha, to stop him from leaving, while Sofia leaned against the wall, feeling all the emotions rack her body all over again. "Alpha Cane please, what Jemma has done is so wrong, I know, but death is too much of a punishment."
Lu stopped walking, he narrowed his eyes, trying to recall who this woman was, but he couldn’t remember. He should have paid more attention to Cane’s surroundings, apparently. "Why does it have anything to do with me?"
Lu suppressed the urge to push this old woman out of his way, but he knew if he did so, even though he was lethargic now, he would end up hurting her and he didn’t want to be reprimanded by his mate again.
"Alpha, you have not heard about this?" Maria was shocked when she realized Cane didn’t know about what happened to Jemma and what the Luna had done to that girl.
"Get to the point and scram!’ Lu growled. This woman annoyed him so much.
Maria jumped a little. She was so scared by the Alpha’s harsh tone. "Th- this early morning..."
She told Cane everything that had happened between Jemma and Hanna, and even though she didn’t back Jemma attacking Hanna, the punishment was too harsh and now the girl had died. "Alpha, Sofia is very sad, Jemma is her best friend and I am worried something might happen to your baby."
Lu was half day dreaming as he heard Maria’s explanation, but his eyes shone a little bit darker when he heard the last statement.
"My baby?" He almost growled at that. How could he have a baby when he was still trying to fix this body?
"Yes, yes, Alpha..." Maria nodded her head vigorously, though it was so odd to see Cane surprised to hear about his baby. He should have known about this, right? But, the fact the Alpha was finally interested in his baby made Maria brush it off. "Sofia is carrying your firstborn, Alpha. She is very sad now, why don’t you go over and console her a little?"
Maria didn’t feel bad for pushing the Alpha to be together with Sofia, but she was really afraid of the current luna and her already partial judgment made her lean more toward Sofia now. Everyone was sympathizing with her, especially when she had to go through this when she was pregnant.
"What did you say? My baby?" Lu frowned, he looked over his shoulder and found that the runny nosed woman leaning against the wall was caressing her bulging stomach, which was a blatant sign that she was pregnant.
"Yes, your baby, Alpha, your firstborn," Maria said, probably a little bit excited, because right now she really wanted Cane to walk over and talk to Sofia a little. "I don’t want anything to happen to your baby, Alpha, the baby will be your first child, your flesh and blood."
Curiosity got the best of Lu, as he walked over and stood in front of Sofia, as he stared down at her stomach, as if this was the first time for him to see a pregnant woman.
