The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013: SIDE STORY (REDMOND) HAPPINESS

Rye was nine years old when he shifted for the first time and Redmond was there to guide his son through the entire process. He was very patient and comforting when Rye was having a hard time in his transition.

"Mama, is Rye in pain?" Lucia asked, she looked like she was about to cry, because she didn’t want her sibling to be hurt.

"It’s okay, your father will make sure he is fine."

Sofia and Lucia stood by the side, watching the two of them, while the little girl held her mother’s hand tightly.

Lucia was not the child that Sofia gave birth to, but she was part of the family and Redmond was fine to have her as his daughter. He treated her as if she was his own.

However, Lucia was well aware that the two of them were not her biological parents. They would take her to visit her real parents in the beautiful part of Goffa Mountain every now and then.

"Oh, Rye shifted!" Lucia clapped her hands when she saw Rye finally managed to shift swiftly. He has the same fur like their father, grey in color. "I want to touch him!"

Lucia let go of Sofia’s hand and rushed toward her brother and father. She giggled when the little grey beast licked her finger and nudged her.

Meanwhile, the big one approached Sofia and nudged her hand. "What? Do you want to be stroke also?" Sofia laughed when the big grey wolf licked her hand. "Don’t act cute, you are not cute at all."

Sofia then shifted into her beast too, as the four of them spent their time in the hill behind the pack house, until evening came.

"There are children here," Sofia said, she pushed Redmond from her when his kiss started to be more intimate.

"They are sleeping."

"Redmond..."

Redmond groaned. He got off from Sofia’s body and rolled to the side. His two children were tired after spending their time playing and now they were sleeping soundly and it left to them to carry them back to their home.

"Let’s go back, it’s getting cold here." Sofia stood up and wanted to carry Lucia, but Redmond stopped her.

"I will carry them both."

"Owh...!" Sofia teased him. "I can see how strong you are."

Redmond rolled his eyes, he then carried his children in each arms, as they hugged him. He never imagined that he would have this little family. It felt very normal and comforting when every time he went away, there would be these people, who waited for him to come home.

His children would jump into his arms when they saw him, making him to feel welcomed and Sofia would greet him with a kiss. She made their house feel like home.

Once they arrived at their house and put the children on the bed, Redmond immediately bothered Sofia, kissing her and teasing her.

It was a beautiful night, a simple day and a meaningful one. He hoped, his every day would be like this and when Redmond thought back of what he had gone through, he was very grateful for today and all the day he spent with his little family.

He would be so greedy if he asked for more, but life gave him more than he asked for when they figured out Sofia was pregnant again.

Today was the day when Lucia shifted for the first time, she was so scared, but her father and brother were there to help her during her first transition. Her mother was there as well to encourage her.

And finally, Lucia managed to shift into her honey brown beast. Her fur looked like gold under the light of the afternoon sun.

Lucia was eleven and she nipped on her brother’s ear, as they playfully played together under Redmond’s watch, while Sofia looked a little bit lethargic. She had been feeling unwell, since this morning.

"Mama, are you, okay?" Lucia asked when they walked back home. She looked at her mother with a furrow between her brows. Their little girl was very sensitive, especially when it came to her mother and Sofia was grateful to have her. A slap from Aliana was really worth it.

"I am okay, honey." Sofia smiled.

"You need to see Penny," Redmond said. "I will take you there." He looked worried too.

"It’s okay, I will go there if tomorrow I am still feeling unwell."

Unfortunately, the next day Sofia still felt under the water and she took her two children with her to see Penny, but the healer couldn’t figure out why she felt unwell. It was not every day to find a shifter to fall sick.

However, by chance, Iris was also there, she smiled at Sofia and greeted Rye and Lucia.

"Good morning, my queen!" Lucia and Rye looked happy to see the queen. They used to play with Zander, Zenith and Zaya.

"Good morning, Lucia, Rye." Iris caressed their head and gave them a kiss on the cheek. She then walked over toward Sofia. "Don’t worry, Sofia. It’s normal for early pregnancy."

The relationship between Sofia and Iris was not as stern as before, especially when she gave up her dream to be Cane’s mate and now when she thought back about that, Sofia felt very ridiculous to have such thought to be with Cane.
