The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 227: SHE PLEASED CANE

Chapter 227: SHE PLEASED CANE

"Having a few mistresses is good for you, Alpha Cane, after all, you are the last in your bloodline," Archie, the King’s advisor chimed in, which made all of the people at the table voice their demeaning opinions, urging Cane to take a mistress.

"There has never been a runt in decades, we don’t know if she can get pregnant for real." Another voice came from one of the King’s sons. They were so drunk and became so bold.

"I don’t think Alpha Cane will visit his mate’s chamber often, she is Alpha Gerald’s daughter after all." It was Alan, who joined in the commotion. This was his favorite topic to be brought up whenever they talked about Cane. The Crown Prince held his grudges so well against him and his people.

On the other hand, Cane was silent, he didn’t utter a single word and instead, holding Iris’ hand, he put their clasped hands together on top of the table for everyone to see, yet they didn’t think much about this gesture. For them, Cane was too reserved for a man. He should let loose a little bit.

However, Cane was in an awkward position. He couldn’t openly defend Iris about the fertility, because things would escalate quickly if they learned he was the infertile one. After all, he used this reason to take down Mason from taking the position as the Alpha.

The fact that Mason had been castrated and couldn’t produce any heir was what stopped him from being appointed as the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack and left the King and a few other alphas tongue- tied.

But, if they knew, the same reason would be slapped on his face and the next thing that would happen was; they would live in their nightmare again.

"You have met with Nala before," King Aeon spoke. He had his young queen on his lap, though Queen Della didn’t seem to enjoy her position, as the old king kept touching her body. "I am sure you can have something more with her."

Nala was the chief royal guard’s daughter. She was the young woman that was thrown at Cane in the previous dinner and even though he showed no interest in her, the King thought otherwise.

And without waiting for Cane’s response, he ordered someone to bring Nala into the room.

Sitting next to Cane, Iris looked at the Alpha. He still looked so calm, as he stared at their hands together, deep in thought, and didn’t seem to care about the provocative words that were thrown at him.

Iris didn’t hear what other people said this time, as her focus was on him, until Cane raised his head, his eyes ablaze with ire. He stared at the King directly.

The look left the King startled slightly. It was so rare to see someone who was way more dominant than the Sovereign himself, yet he was too old to get frightened so easily, especially when he held the highest power in the room.

However, despite the acrimony in his eyes, Cane’s voice was actually so gentle and polite. "There is still one year and a half before the due date. I will make sure to let you know about her pregnancy before anyone else, since your concern about her fertility bothers you so much, My King." Cane smirked and then added. "She will get pregnant even before the rumors about the dark magic and the lycan are solved."

Cane said that in a joking way, but everyone went silent and the situation turned slightly awkward, since he brought up the very sensitive topic that the King was so adamant not to talk about.

The meeting he held that morning was also to discuss how to get rid of such rumors, instead of doing an investigation about the truth of it. King Aeon also dismissed the fact that the palace had been attacked by the monsters this morning, he immediately drew a conclusion the guards didn’t do their job well, thus they were executed on the spot by the royal warriors.

All of these events were wrapped so tightly.

Therefore, for Cane to bring up such a topic would only antagonize the King. They thought the King would holler and punish the Alpha, but he didn’t do anything, yet rage was so clear in his eyes.

Little did they know, there was another deal behind the doors between the King and Alpha Cane regarding the north kingdom and the Asturi stem, which rendered the King cautious against him.

On the other hand, Lou watched everything unfold, but his eyes would always come back to Iris. He gauged her reaction and how Cane held her hand and this made him furrow his brows. During this time, not even once Iris directed her eyes at him.

Thankfully, before the situation became even more suffocating than this, the guard came with Nala. She was a beautiful girl with hair as dark as the night sky. She had a beautiful and sweet smile on her red lips as she waltzed into the room.

The way she carried herself left every man there awed, as their focus was on her.

It was not only about an arrangement, if the King could put one more person beside Cane as his mistress, it would be a great thing, since the Alpha gave a death sentence to Aria.

The news came as a shock for the King, since he didn’t think Cane would be so heartless to actually get rid of her by killing her.

"I recall you had a good time with Miss Dmitri yesterday!" King Aeon guffawed, he slipped his hand into the Queen’s dress, while she tried to keep her dress down, so she wouldn’t reveal her skin in front of so many people here, yet she was helpless in the face of the King’s desire. "I am sure she will be a perfect mistress for you!"

Instinctively, Iris wanted to pull her hand away from Cane’s grip. She didn’t know what happened at dinner yesterday, because she slept throughout the night, but she didn’t feel comfortable knowing this young woman pleased Cane.
