The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589: KODA’S PLAN

"What are you sad about?" Haco yawned again. He could sleep the whole day, and often skipped his meals. If it was not for Celia and Joel, who woke him up to eat something, he would go without eating anything at times.

Iris pulled her legs up against her chest and rested her chin on her knees. Her blue eyes dimmed slightly, while Haco resumed to fiddle with the herbs on the table. Though he often forgot about a lot of things whenever his memories collapsed, he would get mad if someone touched his herbs.

"I feel like a failure because I can’t get pregnant." Iris felt so bad to say that, despite the fact it was Cane, who had the problem, but as a woman, she felt so disappointed in herself.

"If you can’t get pregnant, it is Cane’s fault." Haco glanced at her, while doing his thing. "If he can’t impregnate you, he will not be able to get any women pregnant," he said as a matter of fact. He knew the truth about Sofia’s baby and thankfully, his mind was sober enough to hold this conversation with her, since Iris couldn’t talk about this with anyone.

Aliana was still unaware of Sofia’s baby’s father, or so Iris thought...

"Maybe because I am a runt, so my body is not up for the task." Iris felt even more depressed when she said it out loud.

"Nonsense. I think we have moved past ’the runt’ nonsense thing. You have the life essence of the first Serafim and haven’t we talked about the possibility that you are not your father’s daughter? Maybe you are not a shifter to begin with."

They had touched this subject in the past, but without enough information related to the topic at hand, they could only drop it and not make any assumptions to create more confusion, until they got more insight.

"My mind is not in the right place," Iris murmured. She hugged herself tightly, as if to prevent herself from falling apart. She was afraid to tell Cane that they failed again.

"Iris," Haco said her name gently, he finally stopped what he was doing and looked at her. "If it is meant to be, it will happen. If you were destined to become pregnant with his child, it would happen at one point in your life." Haco extended his hand and grabbed hers. "You need to stop being so hard on yourself. Sometimes, things that you really hope for, will happen when you least expect it."

Iris accepted his advice, but it didn’t help with her anxiety, especially when she remembered Grace was running out of the water magic stones and they needed them to continue making the concoction. The only place she knew where to get the water magic stones was in Lou’s guild in the Black Market.

She shouldn’t have drunk alcohol at that time, maybe, just maybe... they had a chance, but she ruined it.

Iris’ mind went so wild, she entered a rabbit hole...

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

"What now, grandfather?" Laluna asked Koda, her expression was so cold, as she held her son, who kept crying until his face turned so red. The pain must be so unbearable for the baby as his condition flared up again. "The Serafim can’t even heal him. What are we going to do now?"

Koda asked her to address him that way because he wanted to show the connection between him and the baby and how close they were as a family. Those people out there loved a story like this, it would gain their sympathy.

Koda had this hard expression on his face. He thought, with the Serafim here, everything would be fine and his great grandson would be able to be cured, but nothing happened, there was no progress and the curse was still torturing the baby.

He was afraid one day it would take his life and by then, there was no reason for them to go against the royals. Because the baby was their sole reason to fight for the throne. That was how important this baby was.

They couldn’t afford to lose him because everything would go down the drain and Alan wouldn’t be so benevolent to accept their pack back.

"I heard the luna from the Howling Wolf pack managed to heal their warrior, who was deemed to be unable to walk again," Koda contemplated. He heard this from his men.

It was not that hard to get the information, since the rumor about it had spread like wildfire among the warriors in the Howling Wolf pack. At first, Koda brushed it off as a mere rumor, but the recent information he got, proved how true it was.

"That runt has healing powers?" Laluna narrowed her eyes, she remembered her encounter with Iris when they were in the palace and how sickly she looked. She couldn’t even say she had the ability to be a normal human when she got sick so often, but now she had healing powers? That was ridiculous. "That’s only a rumor, grandfather. You know better than to believe that."
