Chapter 578: STAY AWAY FROM THIS

Chapter 578: STAY AWAY FROM THIS

"What have you done to her?" Aliana widened her eyes when she saw Cane carrying Iris in his arms, as he headed toward the carriage. They were going to leave for the Diandem pack now.

It was afternoon, so they would probably reach there the next day.

Because of the additional warriors from the Bloody Wolf pack, their entourage looked so massive, it would be a stupid thing to do for the Silver Warriors to launch the same attack like a few days before, especially after they lost so many men during that event.

"Why does she look so lethargic? Is she still sleeping, or did she pass out?" Aliana couldn’t stop her questions, while the other seven warriors tried to listen to what kind of reply their alpha would give her.

They heard what happened last night and wondered what kind of punishment their alpha would give to those seven warriors for failing their duty and letting an intruder sneak into the bedroom.

Thankfully, the Alpha woke up at the right time and killed him. Unfortunately, the intruder died right away without them being able to interrogate him. But they were very certain that the intruder was part of the Silver Warriors, since it was only them who knew about the pack house very well.

Ignoring Aliana’s questions, Cane entered the carriage with Iris still sleeping in his arms and put her down on the bed before he closed the door and instructed them to start right away.

"Nice try," Ethan said with a snicker, as he approached Aliana, who was still standing next to the Alpha’s carriage. "Do you really think Cane will answer your questions?"

"Oh, shut up!" Aliana growled, while the Gamma laughed at her annoyed expression.

"Nah, you don’t need to ask the Alpha about what had happened, you should have known what had happened until Iris was so lethargic like that." Ethan shrugged his shoulders.

Aliana stopped walking away suddenly and Ethan would have bumped into her if he didn’t stop in time. She turned around abruptly and their faces were so close, which left the Gamma startled who immediately took a step back.

"Wh- what?!" Ethan shrieked. "I almost bumped into you, walk properly!"

Yet, Aliana couldn’t care less about it, as she leaned her body to speak in a quiet tone. "Do you think the Luna will be fine?"

Aliana remembered how Aria used to say it was so hard to please the Alpha, because he could last really long, one could die if they didn’t have the stamina and the strength to endure it.

That was how Aria gloated that she was the only person who could help the Alpha reach his climax, that was why she was the only woman in his life, therefore, it was understandable she got really upset when Iris was the one, who managed to get the position of the Luna of the pack. The very position Aria thought she had within her grasp.

People in the pack used to see her as one too. After all, the Alpha had never been with any other woman aside from Aria after they managed to free themselves from the slavery.

As such, Aliana was a little bit worried, since she knew Iris was not up to the challenge. She was a runt and used to get sick pretty often from what she heard.

"Don’t worry, she will be fine later, or else, do you think she will still be alive now? After all these months of them sleeping in the same room in the palace?"

"They have slept together since then?" Aliana was a little bit surprised. she thought their relationship had not actually developed that early. She still remembered when they left for the capital because the King summoned Ethan to punish him for attacking Prince Alan.

"Of course! What do you think they were doing when they were alone in the bedroom? Playing cards? Of course, they played with each other!" Ethan looked so smug, as if he was the only person who knew everything about the relationship between the Alpha and the Luna.

Aliana walked toward her carriage, while Ethan walked with her. They were ready to leave, but the two of them were still engaged in an interesting conversation.

"But, why... you know, the Luna is not yet with a child?" Aliana lowered her voice, because she didn’t want anyone to hear this, since it would create another trouble for Iris. The rumor about her being infertile was already on everyone’s lips back then when they were still in the pack house. They believed, because she was a runt, her womb must be defected as well.

Due to this reason as well, Maria and Kaz supported Sofia so much.

On the other hand, Ethan grimaced when he heard this, because Aliana was still clueless, Cane was the one, who was with the problem that Iris had not yet had a child.

"But, the Alpha only has been with Sofia one time and she got pregnant immediately."

"Well, I don’t know... I was not there when they did it, right? How would I know? Maybe the Alpha used different methods when he was with the Luna and that woman."

Aliana frowned and Ethan became a little bit uncomfortable under her sharp gaze.

"That’s the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard..." Aliana narrowed her eyes, she knew this man so much to tell he was hiding something. "Ethan? You know something that you are not telling me, right?"

"I- I need to go..."

Ethan would spill the beans, if he stayed a little bit longer, but Aliana grabbed his hoodie, which prevented him from leaving.

"So? What is it?"

"The Alpha will kill me if I let you know this secret," Ethan said in a whispery tone, as if Cane, who was inside his carriage in the distance, would be able to hear him.

"I will tell the Alpha all the secrets you told me, including how you used to curse at him behind his back, whenever he didn’t want to explain things to you."

Ethan wanted to cry when he heard that. "I thought you liked me..." he wailed.

Aliana let out a devilish grin, as she beckoned him with her finger. "Now, what is it?"

Being left with no other choice, in the end, Ethan spilled the beans after he forced her to swear that she would not breathe a word about it.

Ethan whispered into her ear, but because she was so close, her sweet scent distracted his line of thought and he had to clear his throat and repeat his words a few times before he got the story straight.

In the end, Aliana was left speechless. "Heavens..." She was so shocked to know the truth about Sofia.

Ethan only revealed about Sofia, because she was almost due and sooner or later, Aliana and all the people would learn that the baby was not really the Alpha’s.

However, about the Alpha’s condition, it was something that he couldn’t tell Aliana no matter what, until the Alpha said otherwise...

===========================

"How is it?" Liam asked Abby, who just came out of the nursery room. She looked tired and a little bit pale.

"I don’t know..." Abby said in a small voice. "I am so useless..."

"No, don’t say that. Never say something like that..." Liam reprimanded her lightly.

Abby had been feeling down ever since she found she couldn’t cure the baby. All she could do was to reduce the pain, but not completely cure him.

The baby was sleeping now after his rash flared up. Today was the third time it happened and Abby felt like a failure when she heard the baby crying out loud because of the pain. Somehow, she could feel how Laluna gave her a judgmental look.

"I can’t cure the baby... what is the use of me being a Serafim when I can’t do anything?" Abby felt like she wanted to cry and Liam immediately hugged her to give her some comfort.

Abby sighed deeply and buried her face in his chest, but right at that time, Cedric appeared, he was one of the five Holy Knights that were supposed to be with the Serafim all the time and protect her with their lives.

Cedric stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene before him. "Serafim, Alpha Colter wanted to talk to you," he said in a stern voice. "He is waiting in his study room."

Abby was startled, she immediately freed herself from Liam’s arms and then nodded hastily, as she wiped her tears and ran away toward the Alpha’s study room.

"There is something I want to talk with you about," Cedric said, stopping Liam from leaving.

"You can talk later, our duty is to protect the Serafim." Liam swatted his hand away from him.

"Someone else is waiting to escort her there. We need to talk." Cedric didn’t leave any room for negotiation, as he cornered Liam.

"What do you want to talk about?" Liam didn’t need to ask, he already knew what this knight would tell him. This was not the first time he caught him and Abby together and ever since then, he became suspicious about the relationship between the two of them.

"You know it is not appropriate for you to be so close with the Serafim." Cedric’s voice was so heavy and filled with warning. "You will be removed if a single word about it gets out."

Liam stared at Cedric. "If a word about it does get out, I will immediately know who spread it." He gave him a look, indicating it must be because of him, if those people knew about this.

"Liam!" Cedric raised his voice.

"Listen, Ced," Liam spoke firmly. "You need to mind your own business and stay away from this."
