Chapter 711: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (53)

Cane’s body was stiffened when he heard how surprised Grace was when she checked on Iris. His jaw clenched tightly, as all the negative thoughts invaded his mind.

He lost Leane and their baby when she was eight months pregnant and now, Iris was only seven months, somehow, he became very apprehensive the close she was to eight months. Of course, the two things couldn’t be connected, since the situation was very different, yet he couldn’t help, but felt restless, especially when he had to be away all the time.

Cane didn’t want to think this was not the right time to have a child, because it would sound like he didn’t want the baby. He wanted their baby, but he felt hopeless and guilty because he couldn’t give a better environment for Iris and their future child.

"What is it, Grace? Is something happened to my baby?" Iris asked, she held Grace’s hand. She also could feel Cane’s hand on her waist tightened, as his body became stiff. "Is there something wrong?"

Iris first thought was; Laluna managed to do something to the food she was eating. She couldn’t help, but having a negative thought about her. Ever since she wanted Cane and learned about her pregnancy, that possibility was something that could happen.

Seeing how worried Iris was, Grace immediately cleared her throat and smiled reassuringly at the two of them. "I am sorry, I make you worried with my reaction. This is not something bad." She smiled even wider. "This is actually something great! Really great!"

"Talk," Cane said curtly, which made Grace didn’t dare to put the tension and immediately let them knew.

"Congratulation, alpha! Luna! You have twin!" Grace clapped her hands. "Luna Iris is having twin!"

However, before Cane and Iris could give any reaction upon hearing that news, they heard someone had screamed, which startled them.

It was Aliana, she happened to enter the room because Iris said she wanted to eat something spicy and because she knew Grace was already inside, she didn’t knock and entered the room right away only to hear this great news! This was indeed a great news amidst the depressing situation.

"Twin! The luna is having twin!" Aliana couldn’t help, but announced it and they could hear the uproar from the outside when the warriors were freaking out with the news. "Congratulation, luna! Alpha!"

Aliana’s step halted when she saw Cane’s expression. It seemed, she had announced something that they wanted to enjoy for themselves for a while.

Sheepishly, Aliana backtracked. "I will put the food here, luna." She put the food on the table and scurried away from the room to celebrate it with the warriors outside.

"How are the babies?" Cane shifted his attention to Grace. "Will Iris be fine?" After all, she was carrying two lives within her.

Grace checked on Iris again, more carefully this time and told them Iris was fine. "I think this explains why the luna is easily exhausted and how her appetite increased." Grace smiled softly. "She is literally eating for three people."

And after making sure there was nothing wrong and took a note of what Iris needed to do and what she couldn’t, Grace left the room, leaving the two of them to savor this moment.

"Cane, we have twin..." Iris touched her belly and felt the movement of the babies. No wonder she and Cane thought their baby was very active, as it turned out, there were two babies.

Cane said nothing, he buried his face against Iris’s nape and hugged her from behind. He said nothing, but a whisper of ’thank you’.

The news about Iris was having twins spread in the pack house, especially around Howling Wolf pack warriors, they were excited to see their alpha and luna’s future children and for the first time, their faces beamed with happiness despite the never ending gloomy sky above them.

"Twin!?" Laluna gritted her teeth, she glanced at her son, who was trying to flip his body. Vemion was healthy now and he became more active. The baby had started to babble a few words, but it didn’t make Laluna happy. "They have twin?!"

Cane had twin sibling before and it was not common for shifter to have twin, thus for Iris to have twin, it felt like she was emphasizing the babies were really Cane’s.

"How that can happen?!" Laluna immediately realized how stupid the question was. Of course, that could happen because she was having Cane’s babies.

On the other hand, Koda watched Laluna was throwing a temper tantrum. He narrowed his eyes when he saw this woman was being restless upon hearing that news.

"Why are you so mad? You don’t need to be obsessed with their babies. It’s none of your concern."

Laluna stopped herself and tried to compose her anger.

"Why do you care so much about their babies? Do you like Cane?" Koda tilted his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Laluna’s expression, as she tried so hard to keep her calm.

Laluna picked baby Vemion from the bed and cradled him in her arms. "What do you mean I like him? I have my own son and he will be the future king. More so, alpha Cane already has his own mate."

"I don’t know." Koda shrugged his shoulders and then stood up, he approached Laluna and pinched her chin, so their eyes met. "Maybe you wanted to be his mate instead and put him on the throne, since Cane came from royal bloodline."

Laluna’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Did he know? Did Cane tell him about it? From what she knew, alpha Cane was not someone like that, moreover, after that night, they didn’t make any move on him. Alpha Cane wouldn’t be that petty, right? He should have let it go about that matter.

Koda took a step back and waved his hand. "I will visit you tonight, put your baby in the nursery room."

And with that, Koda left, leaving Laluna dreaded with all the possibilities that could happen, but after calming herself down, she decided it was only a coincidence, because knowing Koda, if he really knew about that, he wouldn’t let it slide.

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

"Can you stop avoiding me? What the hell with you?!" Aliana blocked Ethan’s path after he unloaded all the crates from the carriages that Cane brought with him. "You are being childish now, you know that?!"

The tip of Ethan’s ears turned when he saw Aliana came closer, he was about to run away, but she already blocked his escape route, while the other warriors walked away, as if giving them space to talk this matter through.

"This is what you will do for the rest of your life? Avoiding me?" Aliana crossed her arms in front of her chest, her sharp eyes fixed on Ethan, who refused to look back at him. "You kissed me so bravely the other day, but this is what you have been doing? Run away like a coward?"

Ethan knew it was his impulsiveness when he kissed Aliana. It was not even a kiss! It was only a peck on the lips! After he calmed down and realized what he had done, he simply couldn’t face Aliana. He didn’t know what to say or do at this point and now this woman cornered him.

"Can you tell me what happened with you? We will work together in the future and I don’t want to be in this awkward situation with you."

"I want you to leave. I want you to go back to the pack house."

Aliana shook her head. "You know that’s not possible. I don’t want to go back. I want to be here."

"You don’t know how I felt when I saw you under the rubbles, you don’t know how worried I am when I thought I was going to lose you, that you are going to die. You don’t know how scared I am!"

Ethan wanted to drop the matter, but then he gathered his courage and faced it head on. He lifted his head and reciprocated her gaze. "You know how I feel about you, Aliana. I refused to believe someone as smart as you not realize how I feel about you all this time."

Aliana was slightly taken aback when Ethan was being blunt with his feeling, but then she composed herself. "I know, Ethan. But, I am sure, you also know how I feel about you."

Aliana only thought of Ethan as her little brother and sadly, Ethan knew about that too.

"You are always be a brother for me."

Ethan clenched his jaw. "You have Jace as your brother, I don’t need you to be my sister."

"I know, but I am sorry, I can’t think of you as a man. We grew up together Ethan. You know my deceased mate and you were also there when I lost my baby. You will always be an important person in my life, but I can’t see you the same way you see me." Aliana stretched out her hand to touch his arm, which Ethan flinched by her touch, because he was very hurt by what she said. "If you need time, I can understand, but I hope we can return to the way we were someday."

Ethan hated it when Aliana gave him a sisterly look. "I want you to see me as a man." It happened so fast when he pulled Aliana and kissed her again for the second time.

"What do you think you are doing!!?" Jace snarled.
