Alpha's Lost Luna Returns With His Twins-Chapter 142-Why Are You So Stubborn, My Mate?

Iris:

"If you have nothing to say, we will leave," as I pressed, he finally opened his mouth.

"I heard the water speak to me," he replied.

"What did you say?" I asked Kash, pulling my eyebrows together.

Kash quickly gestured to Walkin, telling the kid to step away a little while we sat on the grass.

"I heard someone speak to me," he repeated, watching my face while plucking at the grass, as if waiting for my reaction.

"Are you sure that wasn’t Lara?" I asked.

The minute I said that, he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Can we stop joking about that? It’s a very old joke now," he remarked.

I began to groan at him. Honestly, I did not know what he wanted from me. What he was saying felt strange.

"Kash, I was there, and I did not hear anything. Maybe it was just the wind. It was howling," I told him.

I tried to make sense of his experience, but he seemed adamant. He shook his head again, this time more vigorously.

"Iris, she said my name," he replied.

As soon as he said that, I realized it was a she.

"Oh, it was a she?" I asked, raising my brow.

The minute I did that, a small smirk appeared on his lips.

"Okay, no need to be so smirky. I was just... okay, fine. Whatever. Just focus on the issue at hand," I muttered.

"So you heard someone speak to you. What was she saying to you?" I asked, quickly changing the topic before he thought I was jealous of some monster from the water.

"She was telling me that she knows me and that she wants to speak with me when I go there alone," he explained, and every word he said gave me goosebumps.

"Are you sure you heard that?" I asked him again, not because I wanted to call him a liar or say his experience was wrong, but because I was so shocked.

"I told you for the fifth time," he grunted, sounding annoyed that I was not believing him right away.

"No, okay, I believe you. But why? Why would she speak with you only?" I asked, and he shrugged, having no answer.

"So what are you going to do now?" I questioned him, and he started to look around.

"Do you think if I could go alone to speak with her, I would have gone just to grab water?" he commented, and I nodded.

"Earlier, you told me that someone from my family is giving Lara information on my whereabouts. What did you mean by that?" I asked him.

Remembering that one comment, I realized I had been so stunned the entire day that I had forgotten to simply be myself.

But now, as I slowly watched my kids play and realized that life had to go on, I began to question everything I had not before.

"Yeah, so I heard a little conversation between Lara and her father last night. She was talking about someone informing her that Colin is sick and that we need the water," Kash relayed smoothly, as if it were nothing, but I blinked hard at him.

Not only because of what he heard Lara saying, but because it happened last night, probably after he left, while I suffered.

"Oh," I stated, looking down anxiously and tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Are you going to tell me what happened last night after I left or not?" he pressed.

I guess he had asked before too, but now we were alone, so he started to bombard me with questions.

"Nothing happened. Okay. I was just embarrassed that we did all that. That’s all," I replied almost too quickly. "It was my mother."

After a brief silence, I said the word, and I watched him narrow his eyes at me.

"What?" he questioned. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Did your mother do something to you?" he asked, and I shook my head, realizing what I was doing.

"What I meant was that I think it is my mother giving Lara information," I corrected myself, and he began to stare at me.

"Scarlett told me that Lara came to the guest house and my mother had drinks with her. They were talking about us and the mate bond and everything," I explained, watching Kash stare at me with a blank look on his face.

"What exactly is the problem with your mother? She acts like she’s on your side, but I don’t think you two are even siding with each other," he began, not holding back anymore.

I cleared my throat. It was odd that he was so close to the truth, yet so far away.

"Why won’t you just stop your fiancée from interfering in my life?" I asked, changing the subject again and putting the blame on him, because I knew at this point that he was the only one who would not attack me, at least physically.

"And well, Lara is in favor of giving us water. She was trying to convince her father, but he obviously was not in favor of it," Kash explained, and I began to get up from the ground.

The grass was itching me.

As I stood and dusted my clothes off, Kash followed after me.

"I think I can make Lara help me sneak near the blue river water," he remarked.

As he said that, I straightened my posture and looked at him.

"She might ask for something in return," I said, and an awkward silence filled the space between us.

I guessed I should not have asked. It seemed like he was already considering it.

"I get it," I replied, taking a deep breath and looking away.

"That is the only way," Kash uttered, and I nodded, still not looking at him.

"I mean, it’s not like you two have never been intimate before," I uttered, acting as if I were busy watching the kids. I wasn’t.

"I’ve told you, I was drunk that night," he replied.

I stared at the kids, remembering the horrifying incident from last night.

"And I’m going to figure out what happened last night," he added suddenly, slipping that information in.

My head snapped toward him. I tried to stop him, but he had already started to walk toward the children.
