The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451: THE DINNER

"I am so happy, Maria." Finally, Sofia felt a little bit better after Jemma’s death. She had been very depressed ever since she lost the only person who had been with her through everything.

While Sofia would play a nice and docile mistress when they were in the Moon Dew pack, it would be Jemma, who had done all the dirty work for her behind the scenes.

Being one of the mistresses of Alpha Gallot was brutally hectic, because the threat never came from the Alpha himself, but his other mistresses. Therefore, Sofia was not unfamiliar with her and Iris’ situation right now. She was used to living like that. Thankfully, Alpha Cane had no other mistresses.

"I can see it on your face," Maria replied, she looked ecstatic too. Though when Sofia wasn’t looking at her, she felt this doubt that started to creep in her heart about the whole thing regarding Sofia.

Now, without Kaz, who put Sofia on the high pedestal and tried to make her look like the most important woman in the pack, because she was having the Alpha’s first baby and with Iris acting aloof toward them and only interacting with a handful of people that were close to her, everyone was in a weird mood.

"Of course, you will be able to see it on my face. I must be blushing so much right now," Sofia giggled, as she let Maria scrub her skin. She wanted to look perfect tonight for Alpha Cane.

Even though she didn’t attend the dinner arranged for the King, she looked forward to what would happen after that.

Usually, by this hour every night, she would fall asleep, but she didn’t think she would even be able to sit still because of the excitement.

"Your father will see us, baby. I am sure, he will be elated to meet you for the first time," Sofia said softly, as she caressed the baby in her stomach, which moved a few times, as if it could feel her excitement too.

Catching this sight, Maria’s eyes softened.

It was a beautiful picture after all to see how a mother loved her child.

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

Despite the music and the entertainment, one could tell that the King was not happy with the party. This was not a party that was up to his standard at all, after all, without women and endless alcohol, how could one call this a party? This was only a normal dinner with boring music and wasted performances.

Sir Elijah sat with Leon Dmitri, while Alpha Dristan sat next to Alpha Cane. It was not clear when he found a woman to accompany him, but right now there was a young woman, who just arrived this morning and told them she was Alpha Dristan’s new mistress from the Riverside pack.

It seemed, aside from his job to help Lou build the magical devices in the Riverside pack, he had time to find a woman to keep the Alpha from feeling lonely.

The girl looked so young, probably around Iris’ age. She looked like she wanted to be anywhere, but here. The presence of so many sovereigns, such as the Alphas and the King, made her fidgety. After all, she didn’t have a good experience with people in power.

Meanwhile, Alpha Dristan kept touching her here and there. It was not something inappropriate, but enough to say, the girl was not comfortable with such affection.

Sitting next to the King, Lady Cyan looked so calm and harmless. The air around her was so serene, as if she was someone who couldn’t even hurt an ant.

The welcoming party for the King looked so lifeless.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with this, since Iris had planned it meticulously with so much scrumptious food and good music, it was just their expectations were something a little bit wilder than this.

Meanwhile, as the Alpha of the pack, Cane didn’t even seem to be interested in entertaining the King or making the situation less depressing, knowing how much his guests were bored out of their minds with this extravagant dinner that he called a welcoming party for the King.

Right now, the said alpha was way more interested in feeding his little luna, as he cut more and more meat for her. He pushed the alcohol out of her reach though, which made Iris give him a look. She tasted the wine before and she seemed to like it.
