Chapter 729
The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 729: ITâS OKAY TO GRIEVE Cane had been staying with Iris and he turned to his taciturn self, as he kept taking care of her and the baby all the time.
Though both of them managed to survive the gruesome labor, but it didnât mean iris and the baby were completely fine, both of them still needed to be nursed back to their health, especially the baby, because she was born premature, Grace found some complication and had to pay close attention to her.
Rora. They named their baby that survived after Caneâs late sister and the older daughter Crystal, after Caneâs late mother.
fгeewebnovÑl.com "I want to see her..." Iris said weakly after she breastfed her baby, who was currently sleeping, Grace was with them inside the room, just in case, something happened with the baby, the healer needed to be near.
Cane understood, who Iris meant. She wanted to see their other daughter, who occupied the room next to them. The same room where the white diamond tiger stayed, but right now Ezra was with Zale and stayed with him.
"Okay," Cane said, he leaned over and carried Iris in his arms, both of them walked out of the bedroom. He didnât object her request, or telling her to take some rest, because both of them knew they needed to see their baby. It was not fair to leave her alone.
Iris rested her head against Cane chest and squinted her eyes slightly when the bright sunlight came to her sight, as the door was opened by Zephyr.
This was the first sunlight after so many months being in the dark. The cold light of sun in the winter season.
People cheered when they finally got to see the light of the sun again, but the heavy tension in the air and devastation of losing someone dear to them lessened their joyful feeling.
They thanked the Serafim for her miracle, assuming she was the one, who made it happened, since the Sylph belonged to her.
However, Abby said nothing and the people from the Holy Kingdom had their own thought about this matter and what actually had transpired, especially the black wisp that came from the alpha. Yet, because the alpha and the luna were still mourning the lost of their baby, they had not yet brought up this matter.
When Iris and Cane entered the next room, Aliana was there too, she looked like she had been crying her eyes out, as she stared at at the baby on the crib.
Iris had tried her hardest to revive her baby, but even when she had the life essence of the first Serafim, there were still things she couldnât do. She couldnât revive the death and that was an absolute law of nature.
"Put me down, Cane..." Iris said, she wanted to walk toward her baby.
Cane obliged, but he still wrapped his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling down, as he escorted her to the crib.
Aliana nodded politely at the alpha and luna before she left the room, giving some time for the two of them to see their baby.
"She is beautiful..." Iris said, as she stared at her baby.
"Absolutely," Cane replied.
There was no word that was shared between the two of them for long time, as they mourned the lost of their first daughter.
Iris touched Roraâs cheek and gleam of light appeared.
Once again, she tried to get her little one back, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnât revive her baby. She could purify the black magic from her, but she couldnât bring her back to life.
Iris tried and tried, while Cane let her tried. There was no point of telling her to stop, because he didnât want her to think she didnât do enough.
This reality was hard to be accepted, but this was what they had to face.
In the end, Iris stopped trying and simply stared at her baby, kissing her every now and then and sang for her, in small and weak voice. Her voice was shaking when she told her how much she loved her and how sorry she was for not being able to protect her.
They stayed like that for another hour...
"I donât want her to be buried here..." Iris said finally after a long and depressing silent.
Golden Light pack was too far from their homeland. Iris couldnât imagine to have her daughter to be buried away in this strange land, away from the place they supposed to be called as home.
"Lou will create a portal to Howling Wolf pack. We will leave tomorrow, early in the morning and prepare a funeral for her," Cane explained.
He had been staying with Iris, but it didnât mean, he didnât take care the aftermath of the sudden monster attack. He didnât presence for the meeting, but Jace was there on his behalf and all the idea to move forward came from Cane.
Even now, Cane didnât allow himself to breakdown, he shed no tear and moved like normal.
There were a lot of things he needed to take care of. He kept his emotions at bay, putting them on the back of his mind and suppressed them to stay there for as long as he could, because he couldnât afford to be irrational right now, or indulged in devastation.
"We will bury her in our packâs grave, inside our familyâs."
Even though, Cane said âourâ, but Iris still didnât feel she belonged to that place, yet she didnât talk about it, since this was not the time for that.
"Okay."
They stayed for another hour, until it was time for them to leave. Aliana had prepared everything and Rora had been sleeping throughout the afternoon. They had to pay close attention to her and because she was born a month earlier, yet things became more complicated when the baby took after Iris so much where Grace couldnât use most of her healing ability to her.
Iris felt like she was dying inside when she carried Crystal in her arms, kissing her cheeks, forehead and nose before she left her in this room to check her other baby. She didnât have a chance to breastfeed her, nor heard her cry.
When they stepped outside, people looked happy to be able to enjoy the sunlight again and to see the clear sky, they talked how nice to see the light again and how the Serafim had finally casted away the darkness.
"The gloomy sky has not left my heart, Cane..." Iris said when Cane carried her back to their bedroom.
"I donât think it will leave anytime soon," Cane replied.
In the distance, they could see the warriors and knights basked under warm light of the winter sun, they looked relief because everything went normal now with the sky.
However, for Iris and Cane, there was nothing that would be normal. Their lives would never be the same ever again and the gloomy cloud would forever weigh their mind and heart down with the death of their first daughter.
Later that night, when Iris finally fell asleep and their baby was with Grace in different room, Cane went out of the bedroom, knowing his beta had been waiting for him there to give him the report about the whole situation.
"Alpha," Jace greeted Cane. The beta felt bad to weigh him with more trouble when he was mourning for the death of his daughter, but he didnât have any other choice.
He reported about the gist of the meeting earlier with Koda, alpha Colter and the Serafim.
The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter ï¤Chapter 728: THE REFUGEES IN THE HOWLING WOLF PACK Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System ï¤Chapter 284: Rewards and a New Plan The Serafim would ask for more reinforcement from the Holy Kingdom once the ice melted and the sea was no longer frozen, so the ships could go through it, but it meant, there would be another three more months until the reinforcement arrived here.
For the Aggeverya road, during the monster attack that happened in the Golden Light pack, there was an attack from Winter Moon pack that joined hand with Moon Dew pack, but thankfully, the attack was not fatal and it didnât cause many victims. The Aggeverya road still under their control.
"Koda and alpha Colter are still not aware of the Decraticâs influence and the Serafim still refused to explain about what actually happened."
Koda and alpha Colter knew about Decratic because Cane mentioned it when they wanted to get the Serafimâs interest, but they didnât know the extent of danger this creature would cause.
"Cane, the Serafim wanted to see you. I am sure itâs regarding the black wisp that they saw yesterday." Jace didnât need to say this, he was certain Cane was not ignorance about this matter.
"I am still mourning," Cane said. He turned around to walk toward the next room, where his death daughter was resting and Jace couldnât say anything anymore.
Aliana was there to accompany the little one, she immediately stood up when she saw the alpha.
"Thank you, Aliana," Cane said. He was grateful because she kept his daughter company.
"Anytime, alpha." Aliana stood up, she was about to leave the room, giving Cane private moment with the baby.
The Serafim had done something to preserve the little oneâs body, so she looked like she was sleeping, her lips were no longer purple.
"Alpha," Aliana called for him before he left the room, she looked hesitant, more so when Cane didnât respond to her, but she knew he was listening.
"Itâs okay to grieve and show your pain, itâs actually terrifying when you look so calm."
Cane didnât respond to that.
