The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 871

Chapter 871: FEAR

Cane remembered very clearly the time Iris gave birth to their twin daughters, the smell of blood that was thick in the air, the warmth body of their dead little baby, how her lips had turned purple and they didn’t even have a chance to hear her crying. The heaviness in his arms when he had to carry their dead daughters. The moment she buried them.

Everything...

The emotions came flooding back and this time it hit Cane thousand folds harder, as he remembered how Iris had suffered through the lost of their babies. The emptiness in her eyes. The way she said she hated him. How much tears that she shed when she lost them. How they hearts were bleeding, the pain that they had never imagined. The anger, the cries, the loneliness and the helplessness...

Those feelings and moment still engraved in Cane’s mind and he would never forget it. There was no way he would be able to forget it.

How his sadness turned into anger. He was angry at everything, but mostly to himself.

"We can’t afford to have the baby now." Cane was firm with this decision. The moment Grace confirmed Iris’s pregnancy. He knew this would be a hard conversation he would have with her. But, Cane determined not to have them.

It broke him, but then they would break even more if something happened. Hope was a cruel thing and the price for it was too high.

"We are not in the situation to have the baby." Cane gritted his teeth. He rarely showed his emotions, but he was on the verge of having an outburst right now. His veins bulged, showing how much control he needed to keep talking with Iris calmly. "We need to let the baby go."

Iris was mortified. Among all the reaction she thought Cane would have, never once she imagined he would outright reject their babies. He literally said it to her face that he wanted her to get rid of their children. "No."

Instinctively, Iris placed her arms around her belly, as if she was protecting her babies.

"Why did you do that without consulting it with me? This is my body, you should know better to ask for my permission to do something to me!"

This must be the first time for Cane to raise his voice against her after they were being honest with their feelings and this startled her, which made Cane came to his sense and reign his anger the best he could. Still, he couldn’t.

"I am very angry with you, Iris," he said that through his gritted teeth. "We will talk about this later."

After saying that, Cane got off the carriage. He couldn’t stand Iris right now, most importantly, he needed space to think about the whole things thoroughly.

He was mad at himself for losing it, the sight of Iris when she startled at his outburst bothered him so much. He regretted for raising his voice and scared her, but didn’t for the context of what he said.

They really couldn’t afford a child right now!

Cane shifted into his beast after he told Aliana to bring the food to the carriage for Iris and then stormed off.

"What happened with him?" Ethan approached Aliana. He could see Cane was not in the right mood. "You said Cane has returned? Why he acted like a ferocious beast? Is there another soul inside him?"

Aliana noticed that too. The alpha was fine this morning, but what the cause of his sudden anger?

"I think something happened between him and the luna." Aliana best guess was the alpha was having an argumentation with the luna, because no one could affect him so much aside from his own mate.

"I am going with you," Ethan said. He took the tray from Aliana’s hands and carried it. The two of them went to the carriage. Aliana knocked, but there was no respond from inside. "Why don’t you open it? Cane is not inside, we will not get a shocking scenery."

Aliana rolled her eyes at his comment and then opened the door to the carriage only to find Iris was crying inconsolably.

"Luna? What happened?!" Aliana and Ethan immediately rushed inside and closed the door, so no one would hear them. "Why are you crying?"
