227: SHE PLEASED CANE

SHE PLEASED CANE

"Having a few mistresses is good for you, alpha Cane, after all, you are the last from your bloodline," Archie, the king's advisor chimed in, which made all of the people in the table voiced out their demeaning opinion, urging Cane to take a mistress. 0

"There has never been a runt in decades, we don't know if she can get pregnant for real." Another voice came from one of the king's sons. They were so drunk and became so bold.

"I don't think alpha Cane will visit his mate's chamber often, she is alpha Gerald's daughter after all." It was Alan, who joined with the commotion. This was his favorite topic to be brought up whenever they talked about Cane. The crown prince held his grudges so well against him and his people.

On the other hand, Cane was silent, he didn't utter a single word and instead, holding Iris's hand, he put their clasped hand together on top of the table for everyone to see, yet they didn't think much about this gesture. For them, Cane was too reserved for a man. He should let loose a little bit.

However, Cane was in awry position. He couldn't openly defend Iris about the fertility, because things would escalate quickly if they learned he was the infertile one. After all, he used this reason to take down Mason from taking the position as the alpha.

The fact that Mason had been castrated and couldn't produce any heir was what stopped him from being appointed as the alpha of the Blue Moon pack and left the king and a few other alphas tongue- tied.

But, if they knew, the same reason would be slapped on his face and the next thing that would happen was; they would live in their nightmare again.

"You have met with Nala before," King Aeon spoke, he had his young queen on his laps, though queen Della didn't seem to enjoy her position, as the old king kept touching her body. "I am sure you can have something more with her."

Nala was the chief royal guard's daughter. She was the young woman that was thrown at Cane in the previous dinner and even though he showed no interest on her, the king thought otherwise.

And without waiting for Cane's respond, he ordered someone to bring Nala into the room.

Sitting next to Cane, Iris looked at the alpha. He still looked so calm, as he stared at their hand together, deep in thought, didn't seem to care about the provocation words that were thrown at him.

Iris didn't hear what other people said this time, as her focus was on him, until Cane raised his head, his eyes was ablaze with ire, he stared at the king directly.

The look made the king startled slightly. It was so rare to see someone was way more dominant than the sovereign itself, yet he was too old for being frightened so easily, especially when he held the highest power in the room.

However, despite the acrimony in his eyes, Cane's voice was actually so gentle and polite. "There is still one year and half before the due date. I will make sure to let you know about her pregnancy, since your concern about her fertility bothers you so much, my king." Cane smirked and then added. "She will get pregnant even before the rumor about the dark magic and the lycan are solved."

Cane said that in such joking way, but everyone went silent and the situation turned slightly awkward, since he brought the sensitive topic that the king was so adamant not to talk about.

The meeting that was held also about how to get rid of such rumor, instead of doing an investigation about the truth of it. King Aeon also dismissed the fact that the palace had been attacked by the monsters this morning, he immediately drew a conclusion the guards didn't do their job well, thus they were executed on the spot by the royal warriors.

All of these events wrapped so tightly.

Therefore, for Cane to bring up such topic would only antagonize the king. They thought the king would holler and punish the alpha, but he didn't do anything, yet rage was so clear in his eyes.

Little did they know, there were another deal behind the door between the king and Cane regarding the north kingdom and the Asturi stem, which made the king rendered cautious against him.

On the other hand, Lou watched everything unfolded, but his eyes fixed on Iris. He gauged her reaction and how Cane held her hand and this made him furrowed his brows. During this time, not even once Iris directed her eyes at him.

Thankfully, before the situation became even more suffocating than this, the guard came with Nala. She was a beautiful girl with hair as dark as the night sky and had a beautiful and sweet smile on her red lips, she waltzed into the room,

The way she carried herself made every man there in awed, as their focus was on her.

It was not only about an arrangement, if the king could put one more people beside Cane as his mistress, it would be a great thing, since the alpha gave a death sentence to Aria.

The news came as a shock for the king, since he didn't think Cane would be so heartless to actually get rid of her by killing her.

"I recall you have a good time with Miss Dmitri yesterday!" King Aeon guffawed, he slipped his hand into the queen's dress, though she tried to keep her dress down, so she wouldn't reveal her skin in front of many people here, yet she was helpless against the king's desire. "I am sure she will be a perfect mistress for you!"

Instinctively, Iris wanted to pull her hand away from Cane's grip. She didn't know what happened at dinner yesterday because she slept throughout the night, but she didn't feel comfortable to know this young woman pleased Cane.
