578 STAY AWAY FROM THIS

"What have you done to her?" Alianawidened her eyes when she saw Cane carried Iris in his arms, as he headed toward the carriage. They were going to leave to Diandem pack now. 1

It was afternoon and probably they would arrive the next day.

Because of the additional warriors from the Bloody Wolf pack, their entourage looked so massive, it would be a stupid thing to do for the Silver Warrior to launch the same attack like days before, especially after they lost so many men during that event.

"Why does she look so lethargic? Is she stillsleeping, or is she passing out?" Aliana couldn't stop her question, while the other seven warriors tried to listen what kind of reply their alpha would give her.

They heard what happened last night and wondered what kind of punishment their alpha would give to those seven warriors for failing their duty and let the intrudersneaked into the bedroom.

Thankfully, the alpha was awake at the right time and killed him. Unfortunately, the intruder died right away without them being able to interrogate him, but they were very certain, the intruder was from the Silver Warrior, since it was only them, who knew about the pack house very well.

Ignoring Aliana's question, Cane entered the carriage with Iris still sleeping in his arms and put her down on the bed before he closed the door and instructed them to move right away.

"Nice try," Ethan said with a snicker, heapproached Aliana, who was still standing next to the alpha's carriage. "Do you really think Cane will answer your question?"

"Oh, shut up!" Aliana growled, while thegamma laughed at her annoyance expression.

"Nah, you don't need to ask the alpha aboutwhat had happened, you should have known what had happened for Iris to be so lethargic like that." Ethan shrugged his shoulders.Aliana stopped walking away and Ethan almost bumped onto her, if he didn't stop in time. She turned around abruptly and their faces were so close, which made the gamma startled and took a step back.

"Wh- what?!" Ethan shrieked. "I almostbumped onto you, walk properly!"

Yet, Aliana couldn't care less about it, as she leaned her body to speak in quiet tone."Do you think the luna will be fine?"

Aliana remembered how Aria used to say it was so hard to please the alpha, because he could last for long, you could die if you didn't have the stamina and the strength to endure it.

That was how Aria gloated that she was the only person, who could make the alpha got his climax, that was why she was the only woman in his life, therefore, it was understandable she got really upset when Iris was the one, who managed to get the position as the luna of the pack. The position Aria thought was within her grasp.

People in the pack used to see her as one too, because the alpha had never been withany other woman aside from Aria after they managed to free themselves from the slavery.

In that case, Aliana was a little bit worry, since she knew Iris was not up to the challenge. She was a runt and used to get sick pretty often from what she heard.

"Don't worry, she will be fine later, or else,do you think she will be alive now? After months they were sleeping in the same room in the palace?"

"They have slept together since then?"Aliana was a little bit surprised, she thought, their relationship had not yet developed that early. She still remembered when they left for the capital because the king summoned Ethan for attacking prince Alan.

"Of course! What do you think they weredoing when they were alone in the bedroom? Playing cards? Of course, they played with each other!" Ethan looked so smug, as if he was the only person, who knew everything about the relationship between the alpha and luna.Aliana walked toward her carriage, while Ethan walked with her. They were ready to leave, but the two of them were still engaging in an interesting conversation.

"But, why... you know, the luna has not yetwith a child?" Aliana lowered her voice, because she didn't want anyone to hear this, since it would create another trouble for Iris. The rumor about her being infertile was already in everyone's lips back then when they were still in the pack house. They believed, because she was a runt, thus her womb must be defected as well.

Due to this reason, Maria and Kaz supported Sofia so much. 1

On the other hand, Ethan grimaced when he heard this, because Aliana was still clueless, Cane was the one, who was the problem if Iris had not yet with a child.

"But, the alpha only been with Sofia onetime and she got pregnant immediately."

"Well, I don't know... I am not there whenthey did it, right? How should I know? Maybe the alpha used different method when he was with the luna and thatwoman."

Aliana frowned and Ethan became a little bit uncomfortable under her sharp gaze.

"That's the most ridiculous excuse I haveever heard..." Aliana narrowed her eyes, she knew this man so much to tell he was hiding something. "Ethan? You know something that you didn't tell me, right?"

"I-I need to go..." Ethan would spill thebean, if he stayed a little bit longer, but Aliana grabbed his hoodie, which preventing him from leaving.

"So? What is it?"

"The alpha will kill me if I let you know thissecret," Ethan said in whispery tone, as if Cane, who was inside his carriage in distances away, would be able to hear him.

"I will tell the alpha all the secret that youtold me, including how you used to curse at him behind his back, whenever he didn't want to explain things to you."

Ethan wanted to cry when he heard that. "I thought you like me..." he wailed.

Aliana let out a devilish grin, as shebeckoned him with her finger. "Now, what is it?"

Didn't have any other choice, in the end, Ethan spilled the bean after he forced her to swear not to breath a word about it.

Ethan whispered to her ear, but because she was so close, her sweet scent distracted his line of thought and he had to clear his throat and repeat his words a few times before he got the story straight. 1

In the end, Aliana was left speechless. "Heaven..." she was so shocked to knowabout Sofia.

Ethan only revealed about Sofia, because she was almost due and sooner or later, Aliana and all the people would learn the baby was not the alpha's.

However, about the alpha's condition, it was something that he couldn't tell Aliana no matter what, unless the alpha said otherwise...

"How is it?" Lia m asked Abby, who just cameout of the nursery room. She looked tiredand a little bit pale.

"I don't know..." Abby said in small voice. "Iam so useless..."

"No, don't say that. Never say somethinglike that..." Liam reprimanded her lightly.

Abby had been feeling down ever since she couldn't cure the baby. All she could do was to reduce the pain, but not completely cured him.

The baby was sleeping now after his rash flared up. Today was the third time it happened and Abby felt like a failure when she heard the baby was crying out loud because of the pain. Somehow, she could feel how Laluna gave her a judgmental look.

"I can't cure the baby... what the use of mefor being a Serafim when I can't do anything?" Abby felt like she wanted to cry and Liam immediately hugged her to give her some comfort.

Abby sighed deeply and buried her face against his chest, but right at that time, Cedric appeared, he was one of the five Holy Knights, who supposed to be with the Serafim all the time and protected her withtheir lives.

Cedric stopped in his track when he watched the scene before him. "Serafim, alpha Colter wanted to talk with you," he said in stern voice. "He is waiting in his study room."

Abby startled, she immediately freed herself from Liam's arms and then nodded hastily, as she wiped her tears and ran away toward the alpha's study room.

"There is something I want to talk with you,"Cedric said, he stopped Lia m from leaving.

"You can talk later, our duty is to protectthe Serafim." Lia m swatted his hand away from him.

"Someone else is waiting to escort herthere. We need to talk." Cedric didn't leave any room for negotiation, as he cornered Liam.

"What do you want to talk?" Liam didn'tneed to ask, he already knew what this k night would tell him. This was not the first time he caught him and Abby together and ever since then, he became suspicious about the relationship between the two ofthem.

"You know it is not appropriate for you tobe so close with the Serafim." Cedric's voice was so heavy and filled with warning. "You will be removed if the words about it got out."

Liam stared at Cedric. "If the words about it got out, I will know, who had spread it." He gave him a look, indicating it must be him, if those people knew about this.

"Liam!" Cedric raised his voice.

"Listen, Ced," Liam spoke firmly. "You needto mind your own business and stay away from this."
