The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: THE ALPHA WAS BEING PETTY

King Aeon only glanced at Iris for a brief second and after that, he paid no mind to her, as he kept looking around to find a certain someone. "Where is that woman?" His tone was cheerful and light.

"What woman do you mean, My King?" Cane asked, playing a fool.

"The woman who is carrying your child," King Aeon said with a click of his tongue because he had to explain the obvious.

"You must mean Sofia, one of Alpha Gallot’s mistresses." Cane’s voice was so calm when he mentioned that one unnecessary detail about Sofia.

"Yes, that woman," King Aeon said, disgruntled. "You should have brought her with you to greet me. After all, since she is your favorite mistress and is currently carrying your child. She is part of your pack."

Cane didn’t falter at all when he spoke again. "My King, I don’t know what rumors you have heard, but I have never said anything about her being my mistress."

King Aeon frowned. The rest of the people became very quiet, as they could feel how unhappy the King was as tension swirled thick in the air.

"You put her in the Luna’s bedroom, what do you mean she is not your favorite mistress now?"

There was this harmless smile on the corners of Cane’s lips, but his eyes were sharp enough to kill someone if a gaze alone could do the job. "Your observation and awareness are very excellent, My King, for already learning about the information that I only knew when I reached the Howling Wolf pack less than a week ago." Cane subtly implied to the spy that the King had put within his pack.

King Aeon narrowed his eyes, he looked annoyed by Cane’s statement, while Alpha Dristan frowned. Was it wise to provoke the King when he just arrived? He wondered what kind of game that Cane was actually trying to play.

"What? Do you want to say she is not pregnant with your child?"

King Aeon’s voice was rather loud, as he raised his tone and the people behind Cane could hear that clearly, as they became anxious at the same time. They heard the rumors about the Alpha rejecting Sofia and the baby being someone else’s, from who overheard the conversation, but then, the Alpha letting her stay in the Luna’s bedroom sent a mixed interpretation to them.

Some of the Alpha’s actions contradict one another...

It confused not just the members of the Howling Wolf pack alone, but right now, the King as well.

"I never said anything like that, but before the baby is born and there is no doubt that the baby is indeed mine, I will not assume or claim anything."

King Aeon gritted his teeth when he heard that. "Do you want to deflect your own child?"

Jace grimaced when he heard that, if he didn’t know any better, he would be confused as well with Cane’s actions and the way he was implying the situation, thus he could feel the King and the rest of the members of the pack.

However, the Beta was so relieved it was Cane here, who was facing the King, or else, he didn’t even want to imagine what kind of disaster the lycan would have left for them to deal with.

"My wise king, I am very honored that this matter concerns you so much." Every time Cane praised King Aeon, the latter felt like he was being insulted instead. This irked the King and the Alpha knew it, thus he was very generous with his compliments. "Our Majesty, you don’t need to worry about this matter. I have faith the baby is mine, or else, it will cause a huge discord and conflict between the Howling Wolf pack and the Moon Dew pack, because it only means Alpha Gallot is trying to deceive me. I hope if worse comes to the worst, you will be on my side to uphold justice and this matter will still be your concern."

King Aeon was vexed, he felt like he was walking straight into a trap without him realizing it. "You are thinking too much into that, Gallot will not do such a thing." He waved his hand, as if trying to get rid of the annoyance he felt right now.

Meanwhile, Cane was still smiling harmlessly. "Yes, there is no way Alpha Gallot will pull such a trick, right? After all, the punishment for defrauding the royal family is heavier than simply deceiving an alpha."

There, Cane smoothly connected the issue to his royal bloodline.

"I want to see Hanna," Iris said when they walked in the corridor, where they met an intersection. She would need to take her right if she wanted to see Hanna. "I have not seen her since yesterday." And this bothered her. Even though Hanna was fine and she probably had healed by now, Iris wanted to see that her wounds had healed with her own eyes. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
