Chapter 695: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (37)

Alpha Colter raised his brows when he heard that. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if telling Laluna to keep talking.

Seeing this gesture, Laluna became a little bit more confidence to elaborate what she meant with her suggestion.

"Do you really think Koda will still see you as the alpha once he is sitting on the throne?" Laluna hated and disgusted with herself for letting things went too far with Koda. The thing between them just happened and every time he touched her, she felt very gross, but then she had no one, she was not born into a high status family, therefore, she couldn’t ask for help to them.

The only one she had was her sick baby, in which couldn’t do anything to protect her.

"Alpha Colter, you need to see how Koda has been acting. He has been your beta for so long and when alpha Dristan died, you took him again as your beta when you reclaimed your position, but do you really believe once he is king, he will still be loyal to you? Do you really want to bend your knees to your former beta?" Laluna halted for a while, she was trying to gauge alpha Colter’s reaction and then continued. "I can’t say that you have treated him the best."

Every man had their own greediness and it became a few more folds when you were an alpha, someone with power. The moment you tasted power and experienced what power could offer to you, you would want more and there was no satisfaction in it.

For a moment, alpha Colter didn’t say anything and Laluna was exceptionally patient with him, waiting for his answer, this was already a good sign that he didn’t reject her idea right away.

"Alpha Colter, just like you can see, how dedicated alpha Cane to help us out of this misery. How he planned everything for you to get your victory." Laluna slightly raised her voice when alpha Colter wanted to cut her words. "Koda has told me everything. The plan that alpha Cane suggested about the people from the Holy Kingdom to the victory you can get from winning over the Golden Light pack."

"Koda told you everything?" alpha Colter was skeptical.

"Yes. Actually, it is pretty easy to make him speak." There was a tacit understanding between the two of them about what had transpired between Laluna and Koda, and it didn’t surprised alpha Colter, as if this taboo was a common thing now. "But, with alpha Cane..." There was this little smile on the corner of Laluna’s lips when she talked about him. "He is a righteous person, someone, who wanted to make a great change for the continent and more so, compared to my baby, he has all the right to be the king if you saw his bloodline. His mother was the real princess from the queen."

Alpha Colter scoffed. "Woman, do you want me to betray my beta?"

"I didn’t say that," Laluna spoke very gently, she knew this accusation would come and she was ready with an answer. "But, the baby is very weak, who can say he can survive even after Iris cured him? Who can guarantee there is no side effect? After all, we are talking about black magic and do you really want to put your bet on such uncertainty? But, with alpha Cane, he is alive and capable of doing a lot of things. The south belongs to him and he knows what to do with the Holy Kingdom."

"What benefit I can get if he became the king?" Alpha Colter weighed his option now and it was already enough for Laluna to intrigue his greediness.

"Convince him to take me as his mate and you can adopt me as your daughter." Laluna lifted her chin slightly. "Isn’t it better to be a father of the queen than a mere alpha from the west, who bowed down to his former beta?"

"You are talking as if you don’t care about whether if the baby is alive or not."

"Do you really care about the baby?" Laluna threw back the same question, which the answer was very obvious. "The baby can die from a lot of reason and complication after black magic, do you really want to risk that? What if one day we lost the baby? Koda as a regent will not have a strong footing to keep his position, but alpha Cane is different story."

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

"Under the rock, near Charmen flower. Under the rock, near Charmen flower. Under the rock, near..." Haco stopped walking. He stared blankly at the ground. "Near..." He furrowed his brows very tightly trying to remember. "Charmen flower... near Charmen flower..."

He managed to make a hole and got out from under the rabbles of rock, but the other three were still inside, though the air current was not a problem, but the little space that Haco had created was not stable. A little jolt could make the rocks collapsed.

"Under... under..." Haco fell to his knees, he needed to remember their location and look for help, but it was a challenge for himself with his messed up when his memories failed him again and again. "Under... under..." He hit his head so hard, as if it could help him to remember what he must not forget.

Haco growled and hit his fist against the ground. He remembered about Celia, because the little girl was the core of his memories, his promise to her brother.

"Under... the rock, near... Charmen flower. Howling Wolf pack warrior... look for Howling Wolf pack warrior." Haco was trembling, he could feel it, his memories slipped away from him.

Haco didn’t think he still had this memory intact when he finally met with one of the warriors, or managed to find help for them. He needed to find another way.

Not too far from him, he saw sharp stone and without a second thought, he grabbed it. He needed to do it fast, before he completely forgot about it...

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

The next day, Cane was woken up when he felt Iris wriggled away from his arms, though she did it very quietly and carefully, but she still ended up waking him up.

"Where are you going?" Cane still had his eyes closed, but he pulled Iris closer, until he kissed her nape. Outside, they could hear the pitter patter of rain.

"Sleep again, Cane. I will only see the diamond white tiger," Iris said softly. She had trouble to sleep, because she wanted to check on the white tiger first, but Cane was adamant for her to rest first, while Dean and Pax would look after the creature.

No matter what, the diamond white tiger was a shifter and he didn’t know how much his beast’s instinct controlled him. Iris could be hurt if she recklessly approached the little beast.

"No," Cane said, as he flipped her body and started to kiss her lips. "You wake me up," he said hoarsely and nibbled on her lips sleepily.

His kiss was always addictive for Iris, especially with a lot of things that happened and how thick the tension was. Iris was still worried about Aliana and the other, but no news was a good news, right? More so, she didn’t see their spirit, which was the thing she dreaded the most.

Therefore, Cane’s touch ignited the flame inside of her, this was not something that Iris could refuse. She let him hovered above her and pressed their body together, leaving no space, as they shared their warmth and their hearts beat as one.

"Ah," Iris squealed and Cane immediately pulled away from him, sobered up.

"What happened?" His sleepiness immediately evaporated into thin air, his eyes alerted. "Are you hurt?"

Seeing the panic in Cane’s eyes, Iris chuckled. "I think our child protested because you didn’t give space for the baby to move."

It slipped from his mind and he became recklessly because of how much he wanted to be close with his mate.

Cane smiled and lowered his body, he kissed her stomach, peppering small kissed across her belly. "I am sorry..." he said gently and there was a nudge as a reply, which made Cane chuckled. "Don’t you think the baby is very active?" He put his palm on top of her bump, which now had grown a little bit bigger. It would be hard to conceal her pregnancy for long now.

"I think the baby is excited," Iris chuckled, because it was ticklish when Cane drew circles with his finger when the baby nudged from inside.

"Because I am going to greet the baby?" Cane glanced suggestively at Iris, which made her face turned bright red.

"Cane!" Iris hissed. "It sounded so pervert!"

Cane hovered above her again, nibbling on her neck now, but this time, he was careful not to press his body against her. "It’s in your mind, Iris. I didn’t say anything remotely lewd."

Iris couldn’t say anything, as she mewled in his arms when he touched her. The rain was still pouring down from the gloomy clouds and the sky was as dark as usual, but inside this room, there was something else that burned aside from the fire from the fireplace, as the alpha and the luna threw themselves into throes of passion.

Their skin glistened with sweat and love.

"No... I feel uncomfortable... in this position..." Iris whimpered when Cane tried to enter her, knowing what she wanted, the alpha flipped their body and let her sat on top of him.

"Better?"

"Hm..."
