The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 649: ’MOTHER’

Chapter 649: ’MOTHER’

"How is the situation in the border?" Iris asked, she straddled Cane, as she refused to sit on the bed. Lately, she liked sitting on his lap like this, while Cane didn’t mind it at all and play with her hair. He leaned his back against the headboard, staring at his mate.

"Not many things have changed." Cane leaned over and pecked the tip of her nose. "You don’t need to worry about this." He caressed her neck and Iris leaned against his touch.

"You start to close yourself off again," Iris pursed her lips. She put both her palms against his chest to steady herself.

Cane chuckled. Iris remembered the first time she saw Cane chuckled, since he didn’t do that very often in the past, but now he did it more naturally and frequently.

She used to imagine how it sounded like to hear him chuckling and now, she could hear it, she loved it. One of the most grateful things about being able to hear was being able to hear her mate’s voice.

"I am not." Cane ran his fingers down her jawline to her collarbones. "It’s because there are not many things have changed. Everything still the same and I assumed those warriors have not yet received an order to proceed an attack."

"What about alpha Nolan? You invited five thousand warriors from the Winter Moon pack, is it okay?" Iris knew about the Winter Moon pack actually joined hand with the royal family. Based on alpha Nolan’s personality alone, he could double cross anyone, as he saw it fit.

There was also a chance, alpha Nolan would betray the royal family once he saw the situation was not in their favor, for now, that nasty alpha only wanted to see, which side had the biggest potential to win, because he didn’t want to be on the losing side.

"You don’t need to worry about that, I have everything under control," Cane reassured her and started to kiss her lips, as he caressed her back, Iris liked it whenever he did it and usually, it was enough to distract her.

Cane loved this rare moment, where they could be together alone. Because of the border warriors didn’t back away, they couldn’t put their guard down, they were in constant alert.

However, this time it didn’t work, because Iris pushed Cane away and glared at him. She was trying so hard to look intimidating, but there was nothing scary about his adorable mate.

"You can’t change the topic by kissing me, Cane," Iris said sternly. After all this time, Cane used the same method over and over again. There was no way Iris didn’t learn anything from that.

This time, Cane laughed to see his angry little mate. "Okay, but you need to stop worrying so much. You and the baby will be fine."

"I want you to be fine too," Iris said with a frown. She wanted him to be safe too and she meant it. If it was up to her, she wouldn’t mind the situation was at stalemate like now, but she knew, sooner or later there would be a battle and war that broke out.

The thought of losing the people that dear to her now she had some she could call as friend and family scared her so much. Iris had been overthinking about everything lately.

Cane supported her body when he leaned over and laid Iris back on the bed, as he hovered above her. "You are worrying too much again." He smoothened the crease between her brows.

"This uncertainty scared me," Iris confessed. She had been playing all the worst thing possible that could happen in her mind for some time now and every scenario scared her so much, especially when they would have their baby, she realized how many people would use their child to get a hold of Cane, if they couldn’t take him down, they would use such alternative.

Iris had familiarized herself with a few schemes and tactics, as Cane had exposed her to such plan, so she could learn and now she couldn’t help, but getting anxious.

"It’s okay, Iris, everything will be fine. I will make sure everything will be fine." Cane lightly brushed his hand over her breast and caressed her ribcage, which made Iris squirmed uncomfortably, as she tried to focus on the conversation, but a soft moan escaped her lips when Cane casually rubbed his palm against her nipple.

"But..." Iris wanted to continue their conversation, she had not yet gotten the answer she wanted from Cane, but the cunning alpha knew where to touch her. "What are you... going to do with alpha... Nolan?" Iris asked breathlessly when Cane grinded himself against her. She could feel him...

"I will wait for the cue..." Cane whispered, as he licked her earlobe and Iris took a sharp breath, she tried to get away from him, yet she was trapped.

"Wh- what cue?" Iris was not sure her mind was in the right place, neither she could concentrate with Cane’s answer.

However, as if the timing couldn’t be worse, someone knocked on the door and Ethan’s voice travelled into the room, disrupting their rare intimate moment.

"Cane! Lou is making a fuss, he wanted to see you!" Ethan shouted from the other side of the door. He sounded frustrated after being annoyed by the merchant. "He said, he has something important for you to know."

Cane growled, annoyed. He almost forgot about his intention to come to the pack house, but it didn’t mean he was happy to be reminded about it.

On the other hand, Iris was not happy as well. "Why do you always take him with you?"

"Next time, I will tie him somewhere." Cane reluctantly pushed himself away from his mate and then got off the bed.

"Wait, I want to come with you too!" Iris said, she quickly got off the bed too and grabbed Cane’s arm. The alpha frowned with that suggestion.

"You need to rest."

"No. I have rested enough, more than this I will feel like I am another version of Lil Thing." And currently, the white bear was sprawling on the ground, in front of her door, lazily. "I want to come with you. You are here, why do you spend your time with Lou without me?"

This pregnancy made Iris became very clingy to Cane, but she couldn’t fulfill her desire to always be with him, because of their current situation, therefore, while he was here, she didn’t want to spend a second away from him.

More so, Iris could fill her curiosity about what was going on, by listening what Lou would tell Cane. It was a win win solution, right? Well, at least for her...

"I am going with you." Her stubbornness resurfaced.

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

"Hallo, mother." Decratic smiled at Aria. He watched how the realization finally dawned on her and she let out a shrill scream.

"Monster!" Aria roared, she tried to get away from him, but the only way out was the door and this man that looked like Alan,

"Aria!" Dexter reprimanded her, he was afraid she would offend Decratic. Aria should have died during the labor, but then she was already dead to begin with during her pregnancy.

It was Dexter, who was very stubborn to bring her back to life, despite anything else, since he was very fond of her.

"It’s okay. You can go out, wait for me outside," Dexter said in his light voice. He waved his hand to dismiss Dexter, so he could have a private talk with his ’mother’.

Currently, they were inside Aria’s room. This was the first time she saw the baby she gave birth too, but it didn’t mean she wanted to see it.

Yet, how could that baby had grown so much after only less than four months? It was impossible. It didn’t make any sense at all!

"Mother, calm yourself down." Decratic leaned against the wall lazily, his eyes fixed on Aria.

"Don’t call me that! That’s disgusting!" Aria roared angrily, but Decratic didn’t seem to be affected. There was something ominous from him, which could make you shivered in fear, as if this monster would suck the life out of you.

"Mother... I know you have liked Cane for so long, ever since your former missy was his mate. The only reason why Leane had never known about it, because you hid your feeling so well. You were so jealous every time you saw them together, even though you knew very well that Cane was your missy’s mate."

"Shut up! I was not like that!" Aria growled, her whole body was shaking.

"So, I am wrong? In that case, my offer to let you see him again will not work then?" Decratic tilted his head.

Aria was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

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

"If you want to be like that, do it somewhere else!" Lou was extremely annoyed with the sight before his eyes. If he was not very exhausted, he would have kicked Cane away!

Well, it wouldn’t happen though, since Lou didn’t have the ability to do so.

"You make me unwell all over again!" Lou gritted his teeth.

In front of him, Cane was sitting on a chair, while Iris sat down on his lap, resting her head against his shoulder, being comfortable without care about her surroundings.

They were very shameless!

"Go ahead, I will not interrupt your conversation," Iris said innocently. "I will be quiet."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Nala was seething too.
