The frustration.
Despite weeks of countless s*x, Fiona has yet to exhibit any symptoms of pregnancy.
Her inability to get pregnant is becoming a major worry for Kane. He never bargained for this delay and frustration.
"What the f**k is happening? What's my offense? Is the moon goddess fighting against my freedom? But she suggested that I go find some teenage girl to break the curse. I don't wanna end up like my father and great-grandfather.
I need to put a stop to this. I can't continue in this pain and darkness. I need an explanation for this madness,” Kane muttered succinctly and called his maidens to summon Durella to his room immediately.
“You look tense. What's troubling you? You summoned my presence” whatever troubles you equally affects me.” Durella showed up, placing both hands behind him.
“How long have we known each other?” Kane asked sarcastically, narrowing his gaze on Durella.
"I've known you all my life. Even before you emerged as the Alpha. Why the questions?”
“Why did you choose to betray what we had? Do you wish death upon me?
It doesn't cost me anything to have you locked up for treason. It doesn't matter if I have known you all my life,” Kane yelled at his BETA as his utterances conveyed wisdom that was beyond Durrella's comprehension.
"I'll be a fool to harbor such an imagination in my head. I can't even hurt a fly. What makes you think I'd be capable of such?
You've known me all your life. We even grew up together. Have I exhibited some awkward behavior before?” Durella defended himself, still eager to fathom why Kane said that.
"Quit the pretense, you swine. I know you're trying to deny it.
Come up! Open up to me.
It's just you and me here. Of course, you know what I'm talking about. You were aware of my predicament, yet you made a travesty of my situation and brought me a logwood.
You brought someone that wouldn't solve my problem. I need answers, Durella.
Start talking now! That's a slap on my face. I should have dealt with you!”
"I'm still confused, my Alpha.
What has she done?”
"She's not pregnant yet, that's what I meant. Did you have anything to do with this? Did you plan this with that bastard Kelly Parker to extort money from me?
I lost count of how many times we've had unprotected sex.” He finally let it out with a scream.
"Patience, my Alpha. We need to give her time. She'll come around. Trust me. She's just a kid. Let's not lose all hope on this.” he assured Kane to allay his fear.
"Patience you say? How long will I continue waiting for her to get pregnant.
I want results!” I've lost all patience in me. I'm curious. I can't wait to see her get pregnant.
Why does it take so long?
I thought it was supposed to be easy. I'm tired of waiting for eternity. Did you plan this? Kane lost his cool and sparked outrage at his BETA.
Astounded by the Alpha's wrath, his BETA was mute and unmoved. For a prolonged silence, he was calm and carefully selected his words to avert the wrath of the Alpha.
"I've got an idea. Trust me, it'll work out. Should we seek the moon guardian's assistance?
She might find an answer to our situation,” suggested Durella after a prolonged silence.
"Take her name out of your f*****g mouth. She's got absolutely nothing to do with this. Just when I thought you had a better suggestion. Here you go again displaying your stupidity.
Don't you have shame? You know what? I want you to go call me Fiona. I have a couple of questions to ask her. She must provide me with some answers.” he commanded.
He doesn't believe his predicament requires the intervention of the moon guardian.
Somehow, he suspected Fiona might be responsible for her inability to conceive. He paced around his room for minutes, trying to wrap his head around the situation.
“Could she be barren? That's not even possible. She dares not. She must conceive. She was bleeding when I had s*x with her. That makes her a virgin right?” Kane ponders over the situation as he retorts.
"Here she is. You requested to see her,” Durella returned with Fiona a few minutes later.
Despite having s****l i*********e with the Alpha, she still considered him formidable, fearless, and quite possessive.
Alpha Kane's gaze flickered at her eyes as he leaned forward to pull her hair.
“Hey, stranger! I don't know what stunt you are pulling on me. But trust me, if you don't get pregnant soon, I'll feed your remains to the vultures.” he was furious due to the situation.
I am a man of few words. I don't entertain suspense either.” He shoved her to the ground and stiffed yet another sigh of frustration at his situation.
Still, on the ground, she shed tears from her sore eyes. So many questions plagued her mind.
Firstly, her wicked stepfather tricked and sold her to the cruelest Alpha. And now the Alpha is frantic about her inability to conceive.
"My inability to conceive isn't any fault of mine. Last time I checked, you met me as a virgin. Would a virgin be barren? I guess you know the answer to that question. Or is there something you are not telling me?”
Fiona clapped back, which resulted in a thunderstorm slap on her face from the Alpha.
