The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726: EXCRUCIATING PAIN

"Don’t." Cane kissed her forehead to ease her pain and gave Iris a form of comfort. "None of it is your fault." He stared into Iris’s eyes gently, while holding her hand and caressed her forehead. She was sweating even in the winter. "I am the one, who have to be blamed for this."

He swore, he would protect them. He swore he would do anything to keep them safe. He swore he would throw his life without a second thought if it meant he could put them away from harm.

He prayed every night to any god for their safety, but once again, the god forsaken him. He had to lose his baby and put his mate and the other baby’s life in danger. He had harmed them.

If there was someone to be blamed, it would be him.

"You have done a great job, Iris. I want you to stay with me." Cane kissed her knuckles. He wanted to do anything to ease her pain. If he could, he wanted to shoulder her sadness and the feeling of devastation that racked her. Iris was already in so much pain, why would she be tortured again?

"I killed the baby, Cane... I- I am sorry..." Iris cried her heart out, she kept apologizing, she knew how much they waited for the babies only to lost one of them and probably them both.

"You did not. Decratic did." Cane wiped her tears and looked at her deeply.

Iris cried even harder. She was a mess, her curls, auburn hair stuck on her face as she kept sweating, the pain on her stomach tortured her, but the pain in her heart made her wanted to die. "What if we lost them both? I am sorry... I am sorry..."

"I want you, Iris. I want you to live." Cane was being honest here. If he had to choose between her and the babies, he would choose her. It broke his heart to lose his babies, but he would choose her without doubt. "Stay with me, Iris. Stay with me."

Not long after, Grace came with concoction, she told Cane that Iris needed to drink it in order to induce the early labor.

"Give it to me," Cane said, he took the bowl from Grace’s hand, as he held Iris upper body with the other. "How long it will take?"

"After the luna finished it, she will be in pain, we will see the development from there." Grace explained the procedure briefly to Cane, while Abby came closer and held Iris’s hand. She tried to alleviate the pain for her.

However, the black magic within her grew stronger and she had to suppress it before it could spread even more.

"Drink this, Iris." Cane gritted his teeth when he brought the bowl of the concoction to her lips and helped her to drink the nasty medicine. He felt like he was poisoning his mate right now, the feeling was awful enough, until Iris finished drinking the whole liquid and started to scream in pain. "What happened? You said you will ease the pain?!" Cane snarled at the Serafim.

He couldn’t care less if she were the Serafim or the king, he had suppressed his feeling and his growing frustration enough, his wrath slipped.

Abby flinched when Cane raised his voice at her. It reminded her of how useless she was and how people in the Holy Kingdom became very frustrated whenever they taught her.

"I am trying my best, but the black magic is amplifying the pain," Abby said, gnashing her teeth. She had given her all, but like all this time, it had never enough. It would never be enough.

"C- Cane! It’s hurt!" Iris was in so much pain, this excruciating pain made her vomited against Cane’s chest. She had never been in so much pain like this, she wanted to pass out, but Abby kept her awake and she had to be awake if she wanted to deliver their babies.

This pain was even more painful than when her brother lashed her back, or when the Howling Wolf pack stoned her. She was on the verge of giving up, but Cane kept saying to stay with him.

Iris didn’t know what he meant, but she was ready to go with her babies, this life was too painful and agonizing for her to keep going. She didn’t think her other baby would survive too at this point, so it would be better if she was gone with them...

Maybe she could be with them in a better world, where she wouldn’t be in pain and maybe she could have a peaceful life, a simple pray, a little compensation for what she had gone through.

"I don’t want to be in pain anymore, Cane... this is hurt... it’s very painful..." Iris cried, she felt her inside was churning, as if someone stabbed her with blunt knife, trying to cut her stomach opened. "Cane... please, make this pain go away..." Iris vomited again. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Cane took off his cloak and wiped her mouth with his hand. He tossed his dirty cloak to the side and kept holding his mate. He didn’t know what to say to her. He didn’t know how to console her and ease her pain.

"You are strong, Iris. You will be able to go through this... Stay with me, Iris." Cane kissed her cheek. "Don’t leave me... GRACE!"
