Chapter 642: A HEARTWARMING SIGHT

Cane watched how her mate nibbled on her food. Her cheeks puffed up when she stuffed the meat and potatoes into her mouth, she was not lying when she said she was famished.

This was great to see her eating so well, especially when she had light morning sickness. From what Grace informed him, Iris didn’t have any significant trouble during her early pregnancy, aside from mood swing and became a little bit more sensitive.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to take your food." Cane tucked strands of her hair behind her ear, while staring at her. This would be his new favorite thing to do and if he could, he wouldn’t get bored for doing this the entire day, unfortunately, he really needed to go back to the battlefield because the time that Dageus gave them was almost up. Alpha Nolan would also look for him if he and Lou were not there.

Cane was not sure what Lou was doing or whether he had returned or not from the Capital City.

"You need to eat too." Iris stretched out her hand and gave a piece of meat for Cane to eat, in which he obliged.

The next few minutes they spent in peaceful silence, as if there was nothing that could bother them at all and the messy situation out there could wait.

"Do you want anything else?" Cane asked, once Iris devoured her second plate.

"No, I am full." Iris leaned her back against the backrest of the chair and patted her stomach lightly. "I never thought, I can eat so much."

"You eat for two people, that’s understandable." Cane caressed her cheek, but Iris pouted her lips.

"Am I getting fat?" she asked, while staring at her flat stomach. She was curious about why she had not yet had bump, but Grace told her she was only around two months in, she would get it on her fourth, maybe three if you observed more. "My dress felt so tight."

"We will ask seamstress to make new one."

Iris lifted her head and narrowed her eyes at Cane. "So, you agree that I am getting fat?"

Cane was speechless for a moment. Iris had never very insecure with her body’s weight, but maybe because Lou and Redmond’s comment where they said she got chubbier it made her slightly self conscious about herself.

"You are not fat, Iris. You are pregnant. You are carrying a baby inside of you, a new life."

Cane leaned over and kissed her lips, until she forgot what she was going to say. He caressed her neck and nibbled on her chin, so she would know how much his desire for her and there was nothing to be worried about.

Iris mewled and melted with the passionate kiss and felt embarrassed when Cane stopped it and moved away from her, because she thought, they were going to do something more... she felt very lewd to think about it when they were in this situation.

"Later," Cane whispered to her ear, as if he knew what was in her mind and this made her blushed profusely, until the tip of her ears turned very red and she looked very adorable whenever she was like this in Cane’s eyes. "I want you too." Yet, he would be very late, if he gave in to his desire for her. A real war could happen out there and his plan that he started to build from scratch would be ruined again.

"O- okay... oh, no. I didn’t think about that!" Iris bit her tongue when she replied to him and reprimand herself internally. What kind of answer was that? Did she just admit it? Ugh!

Cane chuckled. "Why so timid when you used to jump on me in the middle of the night?"

"Cane!" Iris was mortified. She knew there was days when she had a high sex driven and she couldn’t control herself. Thankfully, Cane was very understanding when his sleeping time was disturbed, even though he didn’t have a lot of time to sleep and rest. But, he didn’t need to mention about it, okay?

Cane kissed the back of her hand and her stomach, before he stood up and took her hand. "Come, I am going to show you something."

Iris flustered when Cane kissed her stomach. She liked it. She felt her tummy became very warm to think he kissed their unborn child. She was excited to see their baby, whether their baby would look more like her or Cane.

"What is it? This is the surprise for me because you couldn’t get me the Golden Seed fruit?" Iris’s steps were so light, while Cane significantly slowed down his steps to accommodate her.

"Hm." Cane put his arm protectively around her waist, while some of the warriors looked at him with a frown, since the alpha should be two hours away from the pack house, but here he was in the early morning.

"Something delicious?" Her appetite was so good, so the first thing that came to her mind was food.

Cane chuckled when he heard that. Her scent became even more intoxicating for him and he wanted to bury his face on the crook of her neck. "I don’t think you want to eat them."

"Them?" Iris tilted her head in confusion.

It should be morning and the sun should be risen by now, but all they could see was a gloomy sky and dark clouds, which seemed to pour another round of black rain again. This strange weather was very depressing, thus to see Iris in good spirit really helped them to keep their mood in check.

Cane took Iris to Grace’s room, where Iris heard voiced from inside, there were children and baby there.

"I couldn’t bring you the fruit, but I brought them here." Cane opened the door and showed her the surprised he had for her and Iris gasped in disbelieve when she saw the four children and a baby inside, she recognized the children immediately especially her.

"Luna Iris!" Joyce jumped from the chair she was sitting and rushed toward Iris with opened arms, she was ready to hug her favorite luna, but Cane stepped in, so she would slow down and not to knock his mate over.

"Slowly, she is not feeling well, you might hurt her," Cane warned the little girl.

"Oh, I am sorry, alpha," Joyce said sheepishly, but Iris stepped aside from behind his back and then hugged her tightly.

"Heaven! You are here!" Iris’s voice was trembling because she was holding back her tears, which she couldn’t do it for long and they streamed down her cheeks when she hugged Joyce.

The other three children came to her and hug her too, seeing Joyce and Iris cried, they cried as well.

Outside of the room, through the open door, the seven Iris’s personal guard witnessed such heartwarming scene and how gentle their luna was and how she was very natural with children.

Now, they realized how thankful they were that Sofia didn’t carry the alpha’s first child, instead it was her. They could only imagine what kind of trouble that woman would bring if the baby was really the alpha’s.
