Chapter 589: KODA’S PLAN
"What are you sad about?" Haco yawned again. He could sleep the whole day, and often skipped his meals. If it was not for Celia and Joel, who woke him up to eat something, he would go without eating anything at times.
Iris pulled her legs up against her chest and rested her chin on her knees. Her blue eyes dimmed slightly, while Haco resumed to fiddle with the herbs on the table. Though he often forgot about a lot of things whenever his memories collapsed, he would get mad if someone touched his herbs.
"I feel like a failure because I can’t get pregnant." Iris felt so bad to say that, despite the fact it was Cane, who had the problem, but as a woman, she felt so disappointed in herself.
"If you can’t get pregnant, it is Cane’s fault." Haco glanced at her, while doing his thing. "If he can’t impregnate you, he will not be able to get any women pregnant," he said as a matter of fact. He knew the truth about Sofia’s baby and thankfully, his mind was sober enough to hold this conversation with her, since Iris couldn’t talk about this with anyone.
Aliana was still unaware of Sofia’s baby’s father, or so Iris thought...
"Maybe because I am a runt, so my body is not up for the task." Iris felt even more depressed when she said it out loud.
"Nonsense. I think we have moved past ’the runt’ nonsense thing. You have the life essence of the first Serafim and haven’t we talked about the possibility that you are not your father’s daughter? Maybe you are not a shifter to begin with."
They had touched this subject in the past, but without enough information related to the topic at hand, they could only drop it and not make any assumptions to create more confusion, until they got more insight.
"My mind is not in the right place," Iris murmured. She hugged herself tightly, as if to prevent herself from falling apart. She was afraid to tell Cane that they failed again.
"Iris," Haco said her name gently, he finally stopped what he was doing and looked at her. "If it is meant to be, it will happen. If you were destined to become pregnant with his child, it would happen at one point in your life." Haco extended his hand and grabbed hers. "You need to stop being so hard on yourself. Sometimes, things that you really hope for, will happen when you least expect it."
Iris accepted his advice, but it didn’t help with her anxiety, especially when she remembered Grace was running out of the water magic stones and they needed them to continue making the concoction. The only place she knew where to get the water magic stones was in Lou’s guild in the Black Market.
She shouldn’t have drunk alcohol at that time, maybe, just maybe... they had a chance, but she ruined it.
Iris’ mind went so wild, she entered a rabbit hole...
==========================
"What now, grandfather?" Laluna asked Koda, her expression was so cold, as she held her son, who kept crying until his face turned so red. The pain must be so unbearable for the baby as his condition flared up again. "The Serafim can’t even heal him. What are we going to do now?"
Koda asked her to address him that way because he wanted to show the connection between him and the baby and how close they were as a family. Those people out there loved a story like this, it would gain their sympathy.
Koda had this hard expression on his face. He thought, with the Serafim here, everything would be fine and his great grandson would be able to be cured, but nothing happened, there was no progress and the curse was still torturing the baby.
He was afraid one day it would take his life and by then, there was no reason for them to go against the royals. Because the baby was their sole reason to fight for the throne. That was how important this baby was.
They couldn’t afford to lose him because everything would go down the drain and Alan wouldn’t be so benevolent to accept their pack back.
"I heard the luna from the Howling Wolf pack managed to heal their warrior, who was deemed to be unable to walk again," Koda contemplated. He heard this from his men.
It was not that hard to get the information, since the rumor about it had spread like wildfire among the warriors in the Howling Wolf pack. At first, Koda brushed it off as a mere rumor, but the recent information he got, proved how true it was.
"That runt has healing powers?" Laluna narrowed her eyes, she remembered her encounter with Iris when they were in the palace and how sickly she looked. She couldn’t even say she had the ability to be a normal human when she got sick so often, but now she had healing powers? That was ridiculous. "That’s only a rumor, grandfather. You know better than to believe that."
"Why not? We need to try everything and not pass any chance until we get the baby healed." Koda approached Laluna and took the baby from her arms to put him in his crib.
The baby was still crying, but because there was nothing they could do to appease him, they chose not to waste their energy. It was good that he was at least crying because it meant he was still alive.
Koda put his hand on her shoulder. "This will be the right excuse to bring Alpha Cane out from the south, since he has been refusing to come here to discuss the matter with the royals more specifically."
Cane gave an idea how to deal with the people from the Holy Kingdom and how to get them to their side, but in the process, Cane made everything look as if he didn’t have any part in it.
Yes, the credit could go to Alpha Colter and Koda, but if things went south, Cane would be left unscathed, since there was no trace of his involvement.
Koda just realized it recently and he was so pissed, because he was being used, but at the same time, it was a fair game. None of them were innocent in this power struggle.
"How? How can you call Alpha Cane when he has been refusing to come out of the south?" Laluna looked a little bit excited when they talked about the possibility of Cane coming to the Red Claw pack. It had been a while since she met with him... "Alpha Cane couldn’t care less about Alpha Colter."
Koda caressed Laluna’s neck and traced his fingers alongside her jawline. "Yes, you are right." Koda’s voice turned into a whisper when he leaned over to kiss his late grandson’s mate’s ear. "But, the Serafim will be able to do the job," he said, licking Laluna’s earlobe.
Laluna closed her eyes, her heart skipped a beat when Koda’s hand caressed her breast. She was still breastfeeding, so her breasts were bigger than normal. She looked captivating.
"How... what will you do to make the Serafim call him here?" Laluna let out a gasp when Koda pushed her against the wall and pressed her body with his, as he started to grind himself against hers.
"No. The Serafim will call for his mate." Koda took off his pants and lifted Laluna’s dress up. He was already so hard, while the baby was still crying in the background. "Knowing how much he is infatuated with that deaf woman, he will come along too. Who would have thought such a runt would be his weakness?"
Koda ripped Laluna’s undergarment impatiently.
"Don’t do this... someone can come," Laluna said weakly, she didn’t try to push him away, because she knew it would only aggravate him.
"No one will come," Koda growled and pressed his lips against her, biting her lip and sucked on her tongue harshly.
Laluna let him do whatever he wanted with her, because there was no point in fighting him. Everything went nasty after Koda saved her from the palace during the battle against the royals. She stayed in his tent during their journey back to the Red Claw pack.
Koda then lifted her body up. Even though he was no longer young, he was still a warrior, a shifter, he had enough strength to match with her.
In one swift move, Koda was already inside her, as he thrusted into her deep and hard against the wall, while Laluna wrapped her legs around his hips and held onto his shoulders.
"Oh, you healed so well down there..." Koda growled, satisfied because it felt so good to be gripped so tightly. He pounded into her, while Laluna struggled to keep up with his pace, she started to feel the pain. She must be torn up again down there because of how rough he was. "It feels better than the last time."
Koda buried his face against Laluna’s breasts, as he kept thrusting into her relentlessly.
"Don’t make noise if you don’t want anyone to join us," Koda warned her when Laluna started to whimper. "Alpha Colter would love to have you in his bed too tonight, so be ready."
Laluna felt there was a lump in her throat when she heard that.
"Your mates will kill me if they found out about this," Laluna said breathlessly, she tried to endure it, while her son was still crying in pain.
Koda chuckled when he heard that. "Those women will not do anything, you should be worried if you don’t satisfy me..."
