The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 992

Chapter 992: BONUS Chapter: I LOVE YOU

It had been four years since the war and for these past four years, they really needed to focus on rebuilding the shifter kingdom, there were a lot of things that they had to take care of and with that came the sacrifice.

As the new king and queen, who carried the responsibility for the new reign, Cane and Iris had to sacrifice their time with their babies.

They tried their best to always be there for them, but of course, their time was limited and they couldn’t be with them as much as they wanted.

Therefore, after four years of so many sleepless nights and sacrifices, the kingdom flourished, they could start to see the significant change to a better future and their workload reduced as well.

In that case, Iris and Cane decided to celebrate their twins’ birthday lavishly.

Before, they would only celebrate Zander and Zenith’s birthday by gathering people that close to them, but this time, they went all out for their boys.

"Zen! Get up!" Zander climbed his bed and shook his brother’s body, so he could wake up. "Stop sleeping, wake up!"

"Go away..." Zenith pushed Zander off him, but his twin was persistence.

Meanwhile, Lil Thing perked his ear and saw this common commotion, but it chose to fall asleep again. There was nothing new. This was the routine in the morning.

Zander and Zenith were still sleeping in the same room, in different bed, but next year, they would be given their own room.

Iris wanted to keep them close with her for a little bit longer, but the boys were very excited to have their own room for them to décor. In Zander’s case, it was because he liked the idea of being able to have a big space for his own, but for Zenith, it meant he could sleep without his brother jumped on him every morning.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Zander bit his arm lightly, so his brother could wake up. "Today is our birthday!"

"No..." Zenith said grumpily, but when Zander bit him, he woke up and growled at him, yet the latter immediately dragged him out of the bed.

Poor Zenith had to keep up with his brother’s high spirit when all he wanted was some peace and quiet and a lot of nap.

When they went out of the room, Joel and Finn greeted them, congratulated them for turning four today. Zander thanked them, but Zenith pursed his lips, he looked grumpy.

"Mamaa... Mamaa...!" Zander knocked on the door, while Dean crouched down to talk to him to calm him down.

Dean chuckled to see how Zenith yawned, the little boy didn’t even have the energy to stand, as he squatted down, but Zander was still holding onto his right hand.

"Happy birthday to the two of you," Dean said cheerfully, so did Zephyr, who guarded the night with him.

"The king and the queen must be still sleeping. Do you need something?" Zephyr squatted down as well.

"Mama said she will take me to see the preparation for tonight banquet," Zander replied.

"But, this is still too early." Dean pointed out the sun that just appeared in the horizon. The sky was still bleak, because it was almost the end of the winter and the weather was still rather cold.

"But, I already wake up." Zander pointed at his twin brother. "Zenith already wakes up too."

Dean, Zephyr, Joel and Finn didn’t agree with Zander’s last statement, because Zenith obviously needed a few more hours to sleep. The four of them chuckled to see Zenith rested his head on his knees, using his left hand as pillow, while his right hand was still being held by Zander.

"I don’t think he is awake," Dean said.

"Why don’t you go with me and Finn?" Joel suggested. "We will see the preparation."

Zander frowned. "But, I want to go with mama..." _{freewebnøvel.com}

"But the queen is still sleeping," Zephyr coaxed him as well.

"I will wake her up," Zander insisted. He was beaming with excitement, thus it was hard to turn him down.

"I don’t think that’s a good idea..." Dean mumbled. He saw the queen was a little bit drunk last night when she returned with the king. Heaven only knew what happened afterward, since they knew how bold the queen could be when she had too much alcohol in her system.

Right at that time, probably because the commotion that he heard, Cane stepped outside. He was wearing thin clothes, seemingly didn’t get enough time to dress properly.

"Daddy!" Zander let go of Zenith’s hand and raised both of his arms up, asking to be picked up. Thankfully, Joel caught Zenith’s body first before he fell.

Cane picked up Zander, but he squatted down and picked up Zenith too, who opened his eyes and mumbled ’daddy’ before he snuggled against his neck and closed his eyes again.
