The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 832

Chapter 832: PUNISHMENT FROM THE ALPHA

When Cane said that Abby was having a romantic relationship with Liam, Iris was surprised, but she felt like she already knew about this. She picked up Cane’s habit and had her own observation. The news was surprising, but it didn’t really shock her.

However, it was not the same when Cane told them about Abby’s pregnancy. Iris was utterly speechless, because this was the first time she heard about this.

Even though Grace couldn’t do much with Abby, since her constitution was the same like Iris, but at the very least, she could check on her and tell them that she was doing well and her body was in progress of healing.

That was the time when Grace discovered Abby was pregnant, a month long when she learned about it, which meant now, she was almost two months long.

At first, Grace was going to tell Cedric and Liam about this, but then she went against it because this piece of information was valuable and the alpha could use it for his own advantage, especially when the secret of the lycan was laid in the open. Cane needed every piece of card that could benefit him.

Despite fighting alongside each other for the past few months, the shifters and the knights were not really standing on the same side. They had their own opinion and differences.

That was why, Grace didn’t tell them immediately and bring this piece of valuable information straight to the alpha, in which Cane asked her not to say anything.

From that information Cane could deduce what happened between Abby and Liam and this strengthened his theory about the father of the Serafim’s child.

"You are lying!" Abby screamed. She backed away, tears welled up in her eyes when she stared at Cane, as if the alpha was going to kill her or hurt her, but all she could see was the alpha’s stoic expression.

"You can call the healer if you want to make sure of it," Cane said calmly, he stood up and looked at Cedric and Liam, the two knights were pale. They were not able to utter a single word.

"The healer? The healer from your pack? Can you guarantee that she will not lie to my face?" Abby hissed her words became more hostile, as her body was shaking. She was overwhelmed with emotions and didn’t know how to navigate her feeling. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"That, or you can wait until you are showing." Cane didn’t look flustered when he was facing the angry Serafim. "You can wait for another two months."

Cane remembered when Iris pregnant with their children, her stomach started to show a little bump around that time, but because she was wearing thick dress, people wouldn’t be able to tell.

Abby balled her fists, her face turned very red, just like her hair and a tear streamed down her cheek. It was not sure whether she was angry with Cane or she was only confused of what to do, but these emotions were like a broken dam and she didn’t have any idea of how to handle it.

Seeing how the conversation turned out and how it deviated from the main topic, Cane excused himself and Iris.

"I think you need time to think about this matter carefully, I will let Grace knew if you needed her professional advice." He took Iris with him when he walked out of the room.

With this, Cane could buy time to think his next step of how to deal with the people in the Holy Kingdom carefully. He could use this piece of information to strike a deal with them, but for now let the information sunk in.

"Why didn’t the healer tell me since the beginning?" It just clicked in Abby’s mind when she saw the shocking look on Cedric and Liam’s faces, which meant they didn’t know about this too.

Cane glanced at her over his shoulder. "This good news should be informed to the mother, not to be relayed to someone else." He then added. "No matter how you feel about this, I want to say congratulation for your pregnancy."

Cane was not mocking Abby when he congratulated her.

And after saying that, he walked away with his mate, whose became very silence, she didn’t utter a single word until they went to the carriage that had been waiting for them to take them to meet with alpha Derick and Cezi.

Cane dropped the report that he was reading because he could feel how gloomy Iris was and caressed her earlobe to get her attention. Iris shook his hand away, but still didn’t say anything.

"What it is in pretty head of yours?" Cane tapped her forehead with his forefinger. "What is bothering you?"

Iris avoided his eyes, she looked struggling to voice out whatever thing in her mind right now and Cane patiently waited for her to open up.

But when she didn’t seem wanting to talk about it, Cane gave a little bit push.

"Is it about the baby?" Cane asked this carefully, this was a sensitive topic for both of them and albeit Iris looked like she was doing fine, he didn’t know how much she could handle to talk about this topic with him.

"Cane." Iris lifted her head and looked at him in the eyes.

"Yes?"

"What if I couldn’t give you another child?" she asked.

From the sound of it, Iris felt guilty for not being able to protect their children and more so, there would always be this gnawing feeling of responsibility to give birth to the alpha’s child, despite Cane told her over and over again that the blame was on him, because he was the one, who had problem of fathering a child and got her pregnant in the first place.
