Chapter 545: THE CHAOTIC MORNING (2)
"You disappointed me so much, Kaz, to the point I don’t want to look at you," Cane finally spoke, once Kaz stopped and his words were akin to a dagger that seared his heart deeply. "You degraded my luna so much, I feel like I want to banish you from the pack if it’s not for your contribution all this time."
"Alpha, you misunderstood the situation... when did I degrade the Luna? I will not dare to do so." Kaz was tearful and Cane’s eyes darkened.
"Should I start with the way you talk to her? Or should I start with the way you rally people behind you to create a hateful image about my mate?" Cane’s figure towered above Kaz’s right now and the old steward looked so dreadful, as the Alpha’s domineering nature overwhelmed him. "That’s an act of betrayal, Kaz."
Hearing that, Kaz shook his head vigorously, feeling very dreadful when Cane saw it in such a way. "I will never do something like that, Alpha! I will never betray you!"
Cane didn’t answer that, he let him ramble again, explaining things incoherently. He just waited for him to stop before he spoke with finality, because he knew there was no end to this conversation and even if he pointed out all the things that he had done wrong, Kaz would never see his errors, since he didn’t see himself in the wrong, so it was just a futile conversation in the end.
"Iris is the Luna of the pack and she is my mate, my equal. The offenses you committed against her are the same as you offending me and you feel no remorse for that, Kaz."
"Alpha..." Kaz looked so pitiful. "I can’t. I can’t see her that way... she is Gerald’s daughter and I can’t see her without being reminded of what her father had done to us!" Kaz said with bitterness.
"Even after everything she had done for us?"
"I know, it’s so wrong to hold her accountable for what her father has done, but... I still can’t accept Gerald’s daughter as the Luna of the pack..." Kaz admitted it openly. The pain of their slavery had engraved too deep inside him and it was hard for him to let it go.
Every time he saw Iris, he felt like he saw Gerald guffawing at them for taking his blood as the Luna of the pack, even after the fall of the Blue Moon pack. This was something that Kaz couldn’t accept.
That was why when Sofia came claiming she was pregnant with the Alpha’s child, he welcomed her with open arms, no questions asked.
