418: YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE

YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE

"You put that woman in the luna's bedroom and now you told everyone to call her a 'lady'?"

The question came as a statement instead. At this point, all of them could see how livid the alpha was for having someone pronounced a woman as his mistress. 

Kaz was once again dumbstruck by Cane's reaction. He couldn't understand why the alpha was so different, or maybe he simply didn't know his alpha enough to begin with. 

"Alpha… she is…" Kaz swallowed his saliva with difficulty, as he glanced at the alpha briefly, but he regretted it, since he lost his words. The sight of Cane's expression right now was so terrifying. 

"You did that?" Cane emphasized every question. 

"Y- yes, alpha…" Kaz stuttered, he stole a glance at Iris, who said nothing the whole time. What was this? Was this because of the luna complained to the alpha about something? What she said to make the alpha was very mad at them?

If Jace was having a hard time to understand Cane's affection toward Iris, even with the help of Ethan's explanation and warning, let alone these people, who saw their alpha as a cold and calculative man. 

It never crossed their mind that their alpha would genuinely care about the daughter of Gerald, especially when he and Iris just arrived for four days and both of them were so busy with a lot of things. 

"Lady Sofia… she is pregnant with your child, alpha… she is blessed by the moon goddess to carry your heir." 

And then, Kaz made a huge mistake by glancing toward Iris's direction. It was very subtle, but when someone as observant as Cane was paying his full attention at you, such gesture wouldn't go unnoticed by him. 

His anger turned his eyes into golden color, which made all of them knelt before him, begging for his forgiveness, though some of them was not sure what the exact reason of his anger. 

Amee was mortified, because she could understand what Kaz was trying to imply. She had warned him to not think that way because there was no proof the baby in Sofia's stomach was Cane's child. She knew it was not Cane's, but she couldn't tell anyone about it. 

Yet, Kaz was very sure, his argumentation was; the alpha didn't reject the woman and didn't say anything about it. 

Yes, the alpha didn't reject the woman, but he completely ignored her existence. 

Amee had warned Kaz, but the old steward didn't want to listen to her. 

"Throw him to the dungeon!" Cane was livid beyond words, something that Kaz did triggered him when he implied how Iris was not able to conceive his child. 

It was him. The problem in this matter was with him, but Iris was the one, who took the brunt, and here she was, saying nothing about it when they disrespected her in such a way. 

Had they done it in front of her? Talking to her directly about it? 

And the fact no one was suspicious about his infertility was a proof that Iris didn't say anything to defend herself. 

"Alpha!" Kaz lifted her head, he was dreadful by the order. 

"Throw him to the dungeon and the four of them as well!" Cane was seeing red. He couldn't control his anger at this point. He felt the anger and humiliation. 

"Alpha! Please, forgive me! Forgive me!" Kaz pleaded with Cane, so did Aira, Jill and the other two omegas, who confronted Iris, while the rest of them were trembling in fear. This was the first time for them to see this side of their alpha. 

Because all this time, the alpha was a kind and caring person, someone, who would protect them and they would follow blindly. 

And now Cane's harsh decision sent a mixture of emotions within them. They were afraid of him more than ever. 

His golden eyes were a clear evidence how livid the alpha was right now. His beast came to the surface, which was the caused of his golden eyes, it would happen only for the royal bloodline when they showed a deep emotion and at this moment, it was anger.

"Alpha! Please! Luna! Forgive me!" Jill and Aira so did the other two omegas called for Iris, but soon they realized, it was a waste of energy, since their luna was deaf, she didn't see them and couldn't hear them. 

"Alpha, I am sorry! Please, not the dungeon! Not the dungeon!" 

The dungeon was not a simple punishment, but it brought back a lot of traumas for all of them. A place that didn't want to visit, and now the alpha was being so cruel to throw them there for a simple matter. They didn't even hurt the luna!

Avid and Stone were having a hard time to haul five people, who refused to go, thus Jace called ten more guards to help. 

The beta grimaced to see this sight, but of course, he was wise enough not to question Cane's decision and plead with them for him to reconsider. 

As the commotion grew, Iris stood up, she felt so suffocated to be there a little bit longer. She didn't even touch a cup of tea that Cane brew for her.  0

Seeing that, Jill and Kaz immediately approached Iris, as they knelt down in front of her, gripping the hem of her dress. 

"Luna, please! This is a misunderstanding!" Kaz wailed. "You are so different from your father, you need to tell the truth to the alpha that we didn't do anything outrageous!"

"Luna! We didn't do anything to harm you! This punishment is too cruel."

Iris stared at them, but she didn't show any emotions when she finally spoke. "You never think of me as your luna," she stated and took a step back, so they could release her dress. "I don't think of you as my people too."

Her statement shocked everyone there, including Cane. 

After saying that, Iris turned around and left the kitchen.
