"Having a few mistresses is good for you, Alpha Cane, after all, you are the last in your bloodline," Archie, the King’s advisor chimed in, which made all of the people at the table voice their demeaning opinions, urging Cane to take a mistress.
"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 in 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’ hand, he put their clasped hands 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 an awkward 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 lap, 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 in her, the King thought otherwise.
And without waiting for Cane’s response, 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 hands together, deep in thought, and didn’t seem to care about the provocative 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 ablaze with ire. He stared at the King directly.
