The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 437: HAVE HER OWN FAMILY

Chapter 437: HAVE HER OWN FAMILY

Grumbling, Haco left the two of them alone inside the bedroom. At the very least, the lycan would oblige Iris and there was nothing to be worried about.

Meanwhile, he would find someone to inform the Beta that the Alpha was already with Iris. Jace would understand what that meant.

Inside the bedroom, Iris tried to stop Lu kissing her face. He looked ecstatic for some reason. He didn’t cause any trouble, right? That was all Iris was concerned about because she didn’t want to deal with more trouble, since they already had enough on their plates and without Cane here, it would only complicate things.

"Where have you been?" Iris asked sternly, she looked at the lycan’s eyes, those were in the same color as Cane’s, but still, Iris couldn’t feel the familiarity when she stared at him at this moment.

"I went to meet that healer!" Lu was elated when he pulled out something from his pocket. He produced two small bottles, which he waved in front of Iris. "Look! Cane ordered the healer to make a concoction with the water magic stones for his fertility issue. He also ordered her to make one bottle for you, so you can nurse your health!"

"You went to see Grace?!" Iris was shocked, she was not sure whether the news about Lu going to see Grace was way more shocking than the fact he got the concoction of Cane’s fertility issue from her.

Iris knew Cane needed the water magic stones to fix his problem, but she was clueless that he had ordered Grace to do something like that, since Cane had never even mentioned anything about it.

"Yes!" Lu nudged the small bottle that contained blue liquid toward Iris. "Come! Drink this! Let’s try and see whether it will work or not!" He looked like a child, who was asking Iris to play with him. He looked so enthusiastic for her to drink the concoction.

However, Iris had other worries and she had even more important questions she needed Lu to answer.

"Lu!" Iris snatched the bottle from his hand, but she didn’t drink it immediately, like what Lu wanted her to do. "Tell me, what did you talk about with Grace? Tell me every detail of it!"

Iris’ heart pounded hard in her chest, she couldn’t imagine what would happen if Grace found something odd about Cane, but then Grace already knew about the lycan, but she was not sure how she would react if she really figured the Alpha was not actually Cane.

She and Jace had agreed not to let anyone else know about this and thankfully, Oliver had been entertaining Alpha Dristan and Sir Elijah at this moment, though the two of them kept questioning Cane’s absence.

"I didn’t hurt her."

"Okay." That was a relief. "And then? What did the two of you talk about?"

Lu kept staring at the bottle in Iris’ hand, pouting.

"Lu?" Iris softened her voice and then caressed his head, which made him purr at her touch. He started to talk about every single detail of the conversation between him and Grace, thankfully, he had a rather good memory.

"... She stuttered when she talked about it, so I finished her sentence with ’When I fuck her?’ and after that, I left. That’s all. I didn’t do anything at all." Lu frowned when Iris stopped running her fingers through his hair.

"Wh- what did you say?" Iris could feel the heat from her face and she really wanted to smack this lycan for saying such a thing to Grace. But, of course, that was only in her mind because the embarrassment was so unbearable.

"Said what?" Lu tilted his head, staring at Iris innocently, as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

"Y- you said..." Iris couldn’t even say the words. She really wanted to cry.

Lu frowned even more and then he had this moment of enlightenment when he finally understood what she wanted to say. "You mean when I said ’when I fuck her’?"

"Lu!"

Lu still had this innocent expression on his face when he explained it to Iris. "But, I was right. What is wrong with that word? You don’t allow me to use these people in the pack as sacrifice, thus the only thing I can think of is this." He waved the other bottle in his hand in front of her face and this really irritated Iris.

"Lu, be serious, please!" Iris was thinking of avoiding Grace for a while now and since what Lu said couldn’t be taken back, she would move on to her next question.

"I am very serious with you." Lu sat with his legs crossed. He looked just like a child who was being reprimanded. He was not sure why Iris was angry at him when he didn’t do anything bad. It was so hard to please her.

Iris closed her eyes and calmed herself down, trying to put what Lu said to Grace so blatantly in the back of her mind and when she opened them again, she regained a little bit of control over her emotions.

"Lu, can you explain to me about the things you told Haco? About me being a Serafim? How can you say that?" Iris asked him calmly, hoping he wouldn’t keep his lips sealed this time. "Lu?"

"You are the Serafim, how can you not know about that?" Lu stopped his childish act and actually looked a little bit serious right now, which made Iris relieved, because it meant they could communicate about this matter.

"I don’t know, Lu. Seriously, I don’t." Iris shook her head. "The idea is so wild. I can’t even think about the possibility."

"There is no possibility. It’s the truth." Lu then leaned over and stole a peck on Iris’ lips, which made her upset.

"Lu!"

"Okay, I will behave," he said sullenly and the sight melted Iris’ heart.

She took a deep breath before she spoke again with this unpredictable lycan. "Please, can we talk seriously now?"

"No kissing?"

"No kissing."

"So boring."

"Lu, I am very serious right now."

"Okay," Lu said in a defeated tone, but he cheered up a bit when Iris started to caress his head again, which reminded Iris that the lycan liked it when she caressed his soft fur every new moon, so did Cane.

"Lu, you must know about this, but I can hear you howling every new moon, while you know... I am deaf." Iris had been wanting to ask about this first before she jumped to the question about the Serafim. "How is it possible?"

Lu lifted his head and then looked at Iris intensely. He didn’t say anything and Iris started to wonder, whether he would even answer this or not.

But then Lu spoke very softly, though Iris wouldn’t know how tender his voice was right now. "Because my soul called for yours."

"How’s that possible?" Iris knew there was an explanation for that, but this answer only added more questions to her already long list.

"You were my mate." But then Lu corrected it. "You are my mate. Our souls can call for each other."

Iris bit her lips, trying to arrange the next question in her mind. "How is the relationship between you and the Serafim? What happened to both of you?"

Hearing that, Lu’s soft gaze turned cold, as he scoffed. "She was my mate, but I am her first complication as a Serafim."

"What do you mean by that?" Iris narrowed her eyes, but at this point, Lu didn’t want to talk about it anymore, his jaw tightened and he didn’t even want to look at Iris.

However, Iris couldn’t stop now. She wanted to dig more information, since the lycan was here and he knew a lot of things, he could answer many of the questions she and Haco had. "What do you mean that the first Serafim was the cause of your demise? Lu?"

Iris finally leaned over and pecked his cheek, which made the lycan look at her in disbelief.

"You said no kisses!" He said in an accusatory tone, while Iris was at a loss.

"I will give you a kiss if you answer my question," Iris tried to bargain, she felt so embarrassed to even suggest this. If it was really Cane, she would never dare to say anything like that.

"Five kisses for one question? And then can we end it with sex?"

"Lu! You are pushing too far!"

"Do we have a deal?" Lu asked her, excited.

"Why do you keep talking about sex?" Iris felt her face burn up as the tips of her ears turned red. Why was it the only thing in his mind? This lycan seemed like he had nothing in his mind, but how to impregnate her.

It was not that Iris didn’t want to carry Cane’s child, but they were not in a situation, where they could talk about this casually, there were a lot of things at stake here.

"Because only then you can get pregnant," Lu said in a matter of fact tone. He looked unfazed when he talked about this kind of thing, as if it was a normal topic.

"Why are you so hellbent on having a child?" Iris narrowed her eyes. It was not sex that he wanted, he was just adamant to have a child with her.

Lu stared at Iris deeply and this time, he extended his hand to caress her earlobe, which made Iris squirm as she swatted his hand away.

Lu smiled. "Because you were the one who wanted to have a child. You wanted to be normal and have your own family."
