The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: THAT WAS NOT HER BLOOD

It was too late for Lou to escape the attack, thus the only thing in his mind was to protect this red haired woman behind him. He turned around and hugged her, shielding her, as he got ready to take the brunt from the impact. He had his back against the monster.

He swore in his heart that if he managed to come out of this mess alive, he would kill Sabian!

However, Iris shuffled her legs and poked her head from his shoulder and looked the monster right in the eyes, as she cried out loud. "NO! STOP!"

She did that out of instinct, she could feel her heart lurch to her stomach when the monster swung its huge arm toward them, but then stopped only a few inches away from them. He stopped the attack mid air and blinked its small red eyes innocently.

Feeling something was not right, Lou turned his head to see the monster put down its arm and stand there looking all docile, as if the giant creature wouldn’t attack them anymore and this left both of them speechless.

"How did you do that?" Lou asked, his mind whirled rapidly, as he stared at Iris, who was dumbfounded as well.

"I don’t know..." Iris shook her head, but she felt this sensation and the scene was very familiar. It happened once in the past when the monster attacked the mines and she tried to protect Ania.

The monster, at that time also, stopped when she said so, but she thought it was only a fortunate coincidence and didn’t think much about it, after all, it happened only for a few seconds.

"Are you a magic user or something?" Lou furrowed his brows, he observed the girl, but he was pretty sure that she was not a magic user, his informant told him the same. She was a runt from what he knew. It seemed he had to dig deeper into this girl’s background.

On the other hand, Iris didn’t read his question, as her eyes were fixed on the monster before them. She was flabbergasted that the monster listened to her command.

However, a moment later, the monster let out an agony roar, as something pierced through its heart. It penetrated from its back and appeared on its chest, leaving a huge hole as black blood spurted out from the fatal wound.

A black beast pierced through the monster’s body and landed right next to Iris and Lou, its golden eyes fixed on the merchant, as its whole being radiated with killing intent. The black beast let out a dangerous, low growl, as if telling him to back off.

The aura that this best let out was so suffocating, which made Lou take a step back out of instinct, as he let Iris go from his embrace.

The Alpha was not happy to see his mate in danger, but even more so when he saw someone else hug her.

Behind him, the gigantic monster long dropped dead to the ground, sending snow fluttering in the air and the ground shook violently, which made Iris lose her balance.

Meanwhile the dozen royal warriors trailed after the black beast took care of the dead troll within a few moments.

Only after the danger had passed, did Cane shift back into his human form and approach Iris, who was sitting on the ground, which was covered in snow.

Cane’s eyes turned slightly darker when he heard that, but he didn’t show any reaction when he replied. "And how can I repay that?" _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
