The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 732

Chapter 732: NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GRIEVE

People in the Howling Wolf pack greeted her and was actually happy to see her, but somehow, Iris didn’t feel anything, she felt numb.

She asked herself; wasn’t this what she wanted a year ago? To be recognized and to be welcomed? To have people, who would be happy to see her? Now, she got what she wanted she didn’t feel happy at all.

Those smiling faces didn’t give her comfort. Those words of welcome sounded like a buzzing sound in her ears. She couldn’t bring herself to smile at them or see them right in the eyes. She only wanted to go to her bedroom and curled herself with the baby, while Cane prepared for the funeral. She needed every ounce of strength to go through her own daughter’s funeral.

Iris didn’t want to see them happy, why they were happy when her heart was being shredded into pieces? Why they only welcomed her now when she returned with babies? Would they abandon her again when they learned one of the babies was dead? Would they be disappointed because she gave birth to a girl and her little one was not a shifter? Grace had confirmed this...

Would these people, who cheered for her would treat her and her baby coldly when they learned about all of those?

Iris didn’t know what to think and why she poisoned herself with a lot of negative thoughts and worries, but her mind only kept replying the worst case scenario in her mind. Going back to this pack only heightened her anxiety, where she was not in a stable mental to begin with.

Everything exhausted her and she only wanted to have some peace with her baby and mate.

Yet, the commotion around her upset baby Rora, as she was startled, woken up by the loud noise around her, she pursed her lips and started crying, her small face turned very red when she snuggled closer against Iris’s chest, looking for comfort from her mother.

Hearing the baby cried, finally they calmed down, talking in low voice in excitement, as they craned their neck to be able to get a glimpse of the baby in their luna and alpha’s arms.

"Luna Iris!" Kaz greeted Iris when he saw her entered the pack house, he rushed toward her with Maria beside him. "I am so pleased to see you!" Kaz was excited to see the baby in Iris’s arms.

However, Aliana blocked him and Maria from coming closer to Iris. "Luna needs to take some rest. Don’t bother her."

Kaz looked at Iris and then the baby in her arms, who was crying because of the commotion, he looked apologetic and then stepped back. "I am sorry, luna. I am just very excited to see you again and..."

"Kaz, come with me," Cane said, cutting off whatever thing he was going to say.

Kaz was immediately stiffened when he heard that, he had not yet showed the luna the nursery room and talked to her about forgiving him for his mistake in the past and how they needed to open a new Chapter and get rid of all the negative feelings between them. Let go of the grudge.

Meanwhile, Maria recoiled when she heard her name was being called too, while the alpha handed baby Crystal to Grace and approach Iris when they were already in front of their bedroom.

"I will come to see you soon," he said, kissing her forehead gently.

"Okay." Iris didn’t seem to hear what he said, as she went into their bedroom, trying to get away from this noisiness that made her baby cried.

Aliana came into the room with Iris and baby Rora, while Grace took baby Crystal somewhere. Iris stared at Grace’s back.

"Where Grace will take my baby, Aliana?" Iris asked, she had not yet entered the bedroom, while Cane had taken Kaz and Maria to his study room to discuss about something. "What if my baby needed me?"

Aliana pressed her lips when she heard that. "Grace will take care of her, luna. You don’t need to worry." She then nudged Rora’s cheek. "I think she is hungry, luna."

Iris’s attention finally shifted toward baby Rora and she hugged her tighter when she entered the bedroom. "I am sorry, sweety..." She apologized because she was spacing out earlier.

Aliana arranged the pillows for Iris, so she would be more comfortable when she breastfed the baby.

"Aliana..."

"Yes, luna?"

"I forgot. Have I breastfed the other baby before Grace took her?"

Aliana felt there was lump in her throat and she couldn’t find the answer for that. With a lot of things that was going on and their current situation, there were a lot of emotions that needed to be suppressed and the pressure for being back in this pack, messing with Iris’s mind somehow.

More importantly, Aliana didn’t think neither Cane and Iris had been given enough time to grieve for their baby... they needed some peaceful moment and got some rest. However, the movement from their enemy did not allow them to do so.

"I want you to arrange for funeral."

That was the first thing that Cane said to Kaz and Maria the moment they entered the study room. The two of them had been wondering what the alpha was about to talk to them.

Kaz thought, Cane would question why he was still in the pack house when he had been instructed to leave the place after six months.

However, Cane didn’t budge. He waved his hand to dismiss them. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
