The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: DARK MAGIC

"There is a shard of magic stone there." Iris lowered her eyes, she stared at the exact spot she could feel the shard was at. She couldn’t determine from what element the magic stone was. All she could sense was how ominous the feeling it gave off was.

"A shard of magic stone? Are you sure?" Will asked, but then he tapped on Iris’ shoulder because she was focusing on Cane’s shoulder. He repeated his question when he got her attention.

"Yes, I am sure. There is a shard of magic stone there, here." Iris pointed at the spot, exactly how she pinpointed the location of the magic stones when she was in the mines.

Will and Ethan had witnessed her strange, but useful ability. They didn’t doubt her, but how could a shard of magic stone be found there?

"How can a shard of magic stone be there?" Ethan frowned. "Is that harmful?" Aside from mining the stones and knowing those precious gems could be used by healers and magic users, they literally didn’t know anything about them.

As shifters, such information was of no use for them.

It was Will who took the initiative to go and call Grace over, because he thought this was something that was related to Cane’s sudden sickness. "I will go and get Grace." He rushed out of the room immediately and returned with the healer less than half an hour later.

Grace looked pale, as she asked Iris anxiously. "Are you sure it is a shard of magic stone?" Her eyes widened in fear.

"Yes," Iris replied, nodding her head to emphasize her answer.

Meanwhile, Grace immediately took a seat on the edge of the bed on Cane’s left side and looked at him more carefully now, but she couldn’t sense what Iris felt. She neither had Iris’ ability, nor was she a magic user.

"Can you point it out for me?" Grace asked again, her face was full of concentration. She didn’t doubt Iris when she said she sensed a magic stone, because she had heard how she found forty five magic stones in less than an hour and also the water magic stone that saved Ania’s life during their journey back to the Howling Wolf pack.

"Here." Iris showed her the same spot that she had shown Ethan.

Grace checked the spot with so much concentration before she finally felt it. It took her more than ten minutes to feel the strange power there. Without Iris pointing it out for her, she would never be able to find it at all.

"This is not good," she said in a trembling voice, which alerted Will and Ethan.

"Why? What happened?"

"How can a shard of magic stone be buried in his flesh?"

Both of them asked simultaneously, but Iris paid close attention to Cane’s complexion. She still heard the howling of the beast and this left her restless. The mate bond between them had started to grow, thus she could feel his pain through the bond.
