Chapter 380: CLAIM THE BABY (2)
Cane was infertile and Iris knew that fact since the beginning. He wouldn’t have a baby on his own, though it had never been mentioned again and she had never thought about it too deeply, the King’s demand was always at the back of her mind.
In rare times, Iris wondered what kind of plot Cane would create to get away from it. What if the time was up and he was still without a child? Would he blame her for that? Iris didn’t think Cane would do that to her.
And now, Sofia came and everything was crashing down around her when the realization of what Cane would do sank in, the possibility of him even thinking about it crushed her broken heart.
The pain of what future held for her, the thought of her future self, where she had to keep up with another woman, while the whole pack praised her for giving Cane an heir, how those people would go back to seeing her as none other than Gerald’s daughter, scared her and now her fears had turned into anger and made her so bitter about anything... about everything...
This was an opportunity for Cane to be able to get away from the King’s demand and knowing him, he wouldn’t let this slide. Cane was an opportunist and both of them were well aware of that fact.
So, what was left for Iris? What would she become? She held his deepest secrets, but what could she do with those secrets? It didn’t look like she was capable of helping him with anything aside from calming the lycan.
People would see her as a failure because she couldn’t give the Alpha a child and all the fingers would be pointed at her. There was no way it would cross their minds the Alpha was the one with the problem and the truth would forever be buried.
If they were to learn about that fact or that secret came to light, it would ruin a lot of things, more so, it would do more harm than good.
Iris felt so worthless and dirty. She was so angry with herself and the situation. She had never felt such strong emotions before and she dreaded what the future held for her.
