The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 456: HE TOOK CARE OF THEM

Chapter 456: HE TOOK CARE OF THEM

There was no hesitation in the Alpha’s tone when he talked about how he would kill Sofia right off the bat when they learned the baby had no golden eyes. Probably, she would be dragged out of the bed, still bleeding and would be hanged in a precarious state.

Sofia started visibly trembling when she heard such cruel words from Cane.

Some people tended to forget what kind of hell this alpha had survived. Just because he was being so affectionate with his mate, it didn’t mean, he would treat all the people the same. Absolutely not. And Sofia was one of the few who forgot about that fact, especially after hearing how all the mistresses and women around her gushed over their dreams to become Alpha Cane’s mistress one day.

Even Ethan was being reminded again of how calculative and callous Cane could be when it came to his plans. He wouldn’t hesitate to kill and make an extreme decision in order to get what he wanted.

Incidents with Prince Vemion and the five alphas were the latest examples and they absolutely wouldn’t be the last.

Just because he had been affectionate with Iris and looked more approachable whenever he was with her, it didn’t mean such tender actions would erode his cruel side.

"No. I don’t believe you, the baby is yours," Sofia mumbled to herself, as she shook her head. She kept caressing her stomach, her bad mood agitated the baby too and you could see its movements from inside through her transparent night gown. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, while she hugged herself. She looked so pitiful.

The sight of Sofia gave mixed feelings to Redmond, he frowned deeply and his jaw tightened. It was not his place to talk about the matter, but he felt like his heart was being stabbed to see how distraught Sofia was. He could see the movement of the baby too and this didn’t make him feel right.

Meanwhile, Ethan could sympathize with Sofia’s current situation and imagine how the statement from the Alpha shattered all her dreams. She was only a tool that Alpha Gallot wanted to use and get to Cane. Sofia didn’t have a say in this matter and if you put all the plots and schemes aside, her wish to be with the father of her child was innocent. She didn’t have any ill intention, aside from letting Alpha Gallot use her.

However, it was not enough to make him talk on her behalf. In this cruel world, where the powerful ones wouldn’t even blink an eye to beat you down, you need to play the same game as them. It would be so stupid of you if you thought you could win this game with kindness. You must be living in a different world if you thought things could work that way.

This was a critical moment. Sofia needed to choose not only for her own life, but also for the baby in her stomach.

"No... no way... the baby is yours..." Sofia lowered her head, she sobbed pitifully, her whole body was trembling when reality hit her so hard. "The baby is yours, Alpha... I have never slept with anyone else after that night..." She felt so alone.

Sofia raised her head and looked at Cane, hoping to see some kind of mercy. She hoped to be able to see that he was lying to her, but aside from a cold gaze, she got nothing else.

The baby was not his...

There was no way the baby was not his...

"Can you stop begging him to say the baby is his?" Redmond said in an angry tone. "I was the one who was with you that night. Why do you think you were blindfolded and drugged?" He clicked his tongue, he didn’t even pretend to hide his annoyance with this situation anymore. "His mate was right there. Did you really think he would let her watch how he fucked you, while she was standing on the side? You are fooling yourself if you think the Alpha would have done that after you saw how affectionate, loving, caring, tentative, protective and devoted he has been with his mate."

Ethan frowned at Redmond when he heard that. He didn’t think the last detail was necessary. Cane also gave him a dirty look.

However, the warrior was so riled up to scold Sofia harshly. "The baby is mine and you are going to kill yourself if you insist on saying otherwise."

After all, the Alpha had told her that she would be hanged once the baby was pushed out of her body without the golden eyes. So, there was no point in him sugarcoating his words, since he knew Cane would go through with what he said.

"I will give you three days to think about it." After saying that, Cane didn’t waste his time and breathe anymore, as he walked out of the room to go to the room next to them, where his mate was still sleeping peacefully.

Once Cane went out of the room, Sofia cried so hard, she curled her body, while hugging her stomach. She was in so much pain, the revelation shattered all the beautiful dreams in her mind. The very dreams of a family she could have and the life she always wished for.

In the end, there was no god to answer her prayers. She felt so devastated after the daydream she had got destroyed and now she came crashing down with reality.

"Do you want to stay?" Ethan asked when he saw that Redmond didn’t move to leave the room. He thought it would be good to leave this woman alone, because it was impossible to talk with her right now. She was still in so much shock. It would take hours if it was not days for her to recover. There was no point in being here.

However, Redmond didn’t seem like he was going to leave, he didn’t budge.

"I will be here for a while," Redmond said, but it sounded like he was grumbling. He thought Ethan would taunt him for his decision, but to his surprise, the Gamma only shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and walked away, leaving him alone with Sofia, who was crying, curling her body with her back to him.

The Gamma was considerate enough not to say anything about his situation with Sofia right now and it was rich coming from him, who sometimes didn’t think twice when he spoke.

In the end, Redmond stayed there for a whole day and night, he even brought food for her to eat, though he kept talking to her harshly and telling her to stop crying, because the sound of it was annoying, but he stayed there and didn’t go anywhere.

"I care for the baby, not you."

That was what Redmond said to Sofia and to himself, though a day before, he didn’t even want to recognize the baby as his own. He refused to be a father, but right now, he practically took care of the baby and its mother.

Meanwhile, inside the room next to this, Iris was sleeping soundly. Her slightly parted lips invited Cane to have a quick taste of her before he had to face the King. He would have breakfast with them and after that, he needed to find that damned sorcerer, who refused to say anything about what happened last night.

He would be busy and probably wouldn’t be able to return to have lunch with her.

Cane snuggled on the bed closer to his mate, as he held her quietly. And as if she knew who was with her, subconsciously, Iris nuzzled her head against Cane’s chest, as she continued sleeping. She even snored softly, feeling content.

However, when Iris finally woke up, she found herself alone. Cane was long gone. This room looked so big without him here.

Iris rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. Her body felt uncomfortable. She stared at the ceiling for a while, as she gathered her thoughts and sighed deeply.

"I think I missed breakfast with the King," Iris talked to herself. Cane would have woken her up if it was very important for her to be there, but the fact he let her sleep throughout the morning, until afternoon, only meant he got everything under his control.

In that case, Iris decided to go see Hanna. It was lunch time and she wanted to have lunch with her. After all, the last time she went there, Hanna was sleeping and they didn’t have a chance to have a conversation.

However, before that, a thought flashed in Iris’ mind, as she immediately sat down and looked around the room.

"Where is that thing?" Iris frowned, trying to remember. And when she got off the bed, she wobbled and held the bed pole for support because her legs almost gave away. "Ugh! Why do I feel so weak?" She grumbled to herself.

She tried to remember where she put those two bottles that Lu showed to her, the ones he got from Grace. He said Cane had ordered something for her... she blushed at that thought. Didn’t she look so eager at this point to do the deed with Cane? She pulled at her hair anxiously, feeling so embarrassed by how dirty her mind was.

But then, it didn’t stop her from searching for those bottles.

"I am sure, those bottles are here... I kept them here..." Iris talked to herself. She rummaged through the drawers next to the bed, where she remembered putting those two bottles.

However, when she was in the middle of her hunt, she felt someone behind her and when she turned her head, she could see Cane’s face so close to her.

"What are you doing?" Cane asked, kissing her shoulder.
