The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 435: THAT UGLY CHILD IS NOT MINE

Chapter 435: THAT UGLY CHILD IS NOT MINE

Sofia was having a hard time finding Cane. For one, he was always unavailable while the second reason was her pregnancy. She got used to sleeping for longer hours and that added to the difficulty.

But right now, when she saw Cane for the first time after the breakfast incident, she was so relieved, but then the death of Jemma hit her again so hard. They had been together for years and now she lost her companion.

The reason why Sofia didn’t stop Jemma was because that was how they usually acted in the Moon Dew pack. As Alpha Gallot had a lot of mistresses, they would fight over everything and Jemma would always be the aggressive one, while Sofia would keep up a front.

However, this was not the Moon Dew pack and Jemma messed up with Iris at the wrong time. She would have left unscathed if she had faced the timid Iris from the past, who didn’t suffer any of those horrendous things that happened to her in the past six months.

"Alpha Cane! She killed my friend! She killed my personal maid! I want justice for her death!" Sofia screamed between her cries, while Maria was trying to calm her down and remind her about the baby in her stomach. She was worried Sofia would collapse again.

Maria was trying to console Sofia when she accidentally heard Jemma had died, thus she took her for a walk. They went to the garden, but Sofia did not feel good and kept crying, thus Maria was about to get her to see Grace and it was when they met the Alpha.

"Alpha Cane! Please, deliver justice for my friend!" Sofia cried so hard, her face turned red.

Meanwhile, Lu simply scrunched his nose up, disgusted by the sight before his eyes.

What was this? Runny nose? So disgusting. Why was her saliva all over the place? Didn’t she realize that? Couldn’t she wipe her face first before talking?

Lu didn’t like this sight. He wanted to find his Iris and give this concoction to his mate. He couldn’t understand why Cane had to wait, they had arrived in this pack for five days already, but he had not yet told Iris about it at all.

Yes, and within those five days, a lot of things had happened.

"Alpha Cane!" Maria approached Cane and she gathered her courage to block the Alpha, to stop him from leaving, while Sofia leaned against the wall, feeling all the emotions rack her body all over again. "Alpha Cane please, what Jemma has done is so wrong, I know, but death is too much of a punishment."

Lu stopped walking, he narrowed his eyes, trying to recall who this woman was, but he couldn’t remember. He should have paid more attention to Cane’s surroundings, apparently. "Why does it have anything to do with me?"

Lu suppressed the urge to push this old woman out of his way, but he knew if he did so, even though he was lethargic now, he would end up hurting her and he didn’t want to be reprimanded by his mate again.

"Alpha, you have not heard about this?" Maria was shocked when she realized Cane didn’t know about what happened to Jemma and what the Luna had done to that girl.

"Get to the point and scram!’ Lu growled. This woman annoyed him so much.

Maria jumped a little. She was so scared by the Alpha’s harsh tone. "Th- this early morning..."

She told Cane everything that had happened between Jemma and Hanna, and even though she didn’t back Jemma attacking Hanna, the punishment was too harsh and now the girl had died. "Alpha, Sofia is very sad, Jemma is her best friend and I am worried something might happen to your baby."

Lu was half day dreaming as he heard Maria’s explanation, but his eyes shone a little bit darker when he heard the last statement.

"My baby?" He almost growled at that. How could he have a baby when he was still trying to fix this body?

"Yes, yes, Alpha..." Maria nodded her head vigorously, though it was so odd to see Cane surprised to hear about his baby. He should have known about this, right? But, the fact the Alpha was finally interested in his baby made Maria brush it off. "Sofia is carrying your firstborn, Alpha. She is very sad now, why don’t you go over and console her a little?"

Maria didn’t feel bad for pushing the Alpha to be together with Sofia, but she was really afraid of the current luna and her already partial judgment made her lean more toward Sofia now. Everyone was sympathizing with her, especially when she had to go through this when she was pregnant.

"What did you say? My baby?" Lu frowned, he looked over his shoulder and found that the runny nosed woman leaning against the wall was caressing her bulging stomach, which was a blatant sign that she was pregnant.

"Yes, your baby, Alpha, your firstborn," Maria said, probably a little bit excited, because right now she really wanted Cane to walk over and talk to Sofia a little. "I don’t want anything to happen to your baby, Alpha, the baby will be your first child, your flesh and blood."

Curiosity got the best of Lu, as he walked over and stood in front of Sofia, as he stared down at her stomach, as if this was the first time for him to see a pregnant woman.

Seeing this gesture left Sofia thrilled. Finally, finally he noticed her.

"Alpha..." Sofia whispered, her voice was trembling, but she didn’t dare to move. She didn’t even dare to breathe a little bit louder when the Alpha trained his focus on her pregnant belly. She even covered her mouth when Cane raised his hand and caressed her swollen stomach.

Meanwhile, Maria felt this elation in her heart, seeing Cane and Sofia right now, she felt like she was seeing Cane with Leane, his destined mate.

Probably, this was what the whole pack wanted. They still couldn’t look past the shadow of Alpha Gerald over Iris. Some of them managed to do that, but some of them surely couldn’t and with nightmares still haunting them and the scars from the slavery still marring their minds, it was so hard for them to see Iris with Cane.

Her existence was a grim reminder of what her father had done, even with everything Iris had done for them, they still couldn’t help it.

Sometimes, there were feelings you couldn’t control.

"Alpha, this is our baby..." Sofia choked on her words, she was so elated and happy to finally get some recognition from Cane. She had tears in her eyes when Cane leaned over and pressed his ear against her stomach. If Jemma was still here and Iris didn’t kill her, she would be the happiest person in this world.

However, the next thing Cane said left both Sofia and Maria stunned.

"This is not my baby," Cane said, as he straightened his spine, the corners of his lips curled into a disdainful smile. "How could this ugly baby be mine?"

Ugly baby...

The Alpha actually called the baby in Sofia’s stomach ugly?

Sofia and Maria were mortified by what Cane said, thus they didn’t know what to do when Cane walked away from them, whistling while carrying the bottles in his hands. He sniffed the air to look for his mate, he waltzed in the hallway, feeling happy, not knowing he just crushed someone’s heart.

"What... what did the Alpha mean by that?" Maria stuttered. She frowned, as she stared at Sofia. They indeed treated Iris unfairly, but they had this undying devotion to their alpha.

Sofia cried harder this time as Cane rejected her and the baby, which made Maria come over and console her again.

"How could the Alpha not recognize the baby, there is no way I will pass another man’s child as his?" She hadn’t been intimate with anyone after her night with Cane, she really hoped for herself to get pregnant, so she could get away from Alpha Gallot’s clutches and the Moon Dew pack.

She was so happy when all the people in the Howling Wolf pack accepted her and thought her life would finally be easier now.

A woman would rely on their mate and son and she grew up with the same notion.

But now, the man had rejected her blatantly and refused to acknowledge his child.

"Why does the Alpha hate me so much? I didn’t do anything to deserve this..."

"It’s okay, it’s okay... the Alpha might be upset because the Luna is angry right now. He will come around once you give birth to the baby. Don’t cry..." Maria hugged Sofia gently.

"He confirmed you are the Serafim, Iris," Haco said in the end, he told her everything about the conversation between him and the lycan earlier. "But, vaguely, I got this idea from the way he talked about the first Serafim. It seems the first Serafim was the cause of his death, though not directly. I am not sure about this, but that’s how I see it."

"What?" Iris narrowed her eyes. All this Serafim thing still seemed odd to her.

Serafim was not just anyone, she was a respected figure in this realm and for someone like her to be the Serafim, while there was another person, who was known throughout all the continents as one, didn’t make sense to Iris at all.

But then, Haco had pointed out everything for her, including the lizard in her arms.

"Haco, you know people from the Holy Kingdom will arrive half a month from now, right?"
