Cane stared at his sleeping mate, her lips were slightly apart and she snored softly, feeling content when she snuggled against his chest unconsciously, as if even in her sleep, she knew her mate was there and it helped her to become more comfortable and fell deeper into her sleep.
The alpha cradled his luna in his arms, he traced her spine gently, while her lips against his neck. Her soft and warm breath caressed his skin. She felt so soft and warm and everything he wished for, and she was pregnant... she would have their firstborn.
Cane still reeled with this news, he felt it was not real, especially when her body was still the same. His hand traced her waist, every curve on her body and rested on her flat stomach. His heart skipped a beat when he thought their baby was there. Nestled safely in their mother’s womb.
"Please be safe and strong..." Cane said softly, as he kissed Iris’s forehead and caressed her stomach. "I will do anything for you..."
Logically speaking, this was not the right time to fall pregnant, having a baby at this crucial moment was not a wise decision, but Cane would never condemn the timing. The baby was a blessing, his mate was a blessing for everything that he had gone through.
As long as Iris was willing to go through this pregnancy and was excited about it, he would handle the rest.
Even though it came as a surprised even for him, since deep down, he believed, it was a futile attempt to cure his fertility. He only didn’t want to give up and go along with the motion. At the very least, he tried with whatever he had, so he wouldn’t regret anything.
But, as it turned, he got a pleasant surprised.
"Please don’t get sick, don’t get yourself into trouble or danger..." Cane whispered again. He held her very gently, afraid to wake her up.
He stopped praying when he witnessed his pack members were being dissect and going through all the brutal things that you could imagine.
But right now, he started it again. He would do anything to ensure her safety, including ridiculous thing such as praying again.
"Please, be happy, even when I can’t give you that..." Cane felt there was this turmoil in his chest.
Today happiness with the announcement of her pregnancy was spoiled because of the news from the border and the northern kingdom.
Cane released Iris’s body from his arms, as she frowned slightly because the warm from her mate disappeared, but the alpha didn’t go anywhere, he only knelt down by her side and kissed her stomach.
Please, be well my child...
============================
What they feared the most happened, the ten thousand warriors started to make a move, as they marched closer toward Diandem pack.
Meanwhile, the first batch of reinforcement that reached Cane was from the Bloody Wolf pack, since they were closer, after that, warriors from Crystal Moon pack, which was led by Arthur arrived.
"If things get worse, bring my mate to the Crystal Moon pack, there will be a ship that will wait for her there, go to the Andelus continent, someone will wait for you there." Cane relayed this information to Aliana, so she could let the other seven warriors aware of this plan.
"Then, what will you do, alpha?" Aliana frowned. She didn’t like the plan, neither she would like the alpha’s plan for himself, but she could understand why he made this decision.
Currently, they were in the garden, while Iris and Celia were playing with Lil Thing. The bear still looked very lazy, as it let them to touch it. Actually, this creature looked like it enjoyed the attention, especially when it could be with Iris all the time. No matter what the bear was doing, it would follow Iris wherever she would go, but Lil Thing would scamper away once the alpha glared at it, for being too clingy to his mate in his presence.
"Will you stay?" Aliana asked this again, but Cane didn’t answer her question.
Because of the tension for the possibility of battle, things started to change around this pack, especially when there were a lot of warriors here and the pack house couldn’t accommodate all of them, thus they stayed in the inn in the town.
Cane stared at his mate, who was smiling and laughing freely. She started vomiting in the morning and hated a certain taste or smell, which he took a note and made sure those things were not around her.
"What do you mean they will not?" Lou narrowed his eyes. "Do you really think the alcohol tea will close the deal?" The merchant moved closer to him. "Or do you have another plan?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
