The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (3)

The ominous feeling that Iris felt thickened, it almost felt like the dark sky had turned even darker and the rain came down in torrents.

For Sofia, she could hear the name of the king was being mentioned here and there, though she was not sure what the context of the conversation, but she knew the king was here. This heavy rain made it harder for her to know how many warriors that had been surrounded them.

However, there was not yet a fight out there. Was that a good sign? Or the warriors that came with them had been killed silently?

No way. No matter how great the royal warriors were, they wouldn’t be able to kill all the warrior from the Howling Wolf pack within a second and was being quiet when they did that.

"What do you think happen out there?" Sofia asked Iris. She didn’t address her by her title, neither she called her by her name only, because she knew how inappropriate that was and because it was only the two of them inside the carriage, Iris must know she was talking to her, right? "Hey."

Iris had been staring into the distance, but then her eyes turned sharp, as she lifted her head to look at Sofia, who immediately cowered away from her. "Stay in the carriage."

"Wh- what? Where are you going?" Sofia grabbed her hand. "Aliana said to stay inside the carriage. You can’t go out."

"You. Stay. Inside." Iris emphasized every word she said and this made Sofia released her hand, as if she burned her.

"Okay." She hugged her baby and minded her own business. She wished they would be able to survive whatever it was.

With that, Iris went out of the carriage and let the rain poured down on her body, it was colder than she expected, but she managed to keep walking. There was something not right. Everything was not right, but this time, it was very disturbing.

"Luna, you need to go back to the carriage." Zale rushed behind her and tried to persuade her to go back to the carriage. "Don’t go out, luna, it’s dangerous. Let’s go back." But, because Iris didn’t pay attention to him, he grabbed her hand and tried to stop her from walking toward the commotion, near the first carriage, which the four merchants occupied.

"Let me go, Zale." This was not the usual tone that Iris used when she talked with Zale, her voice was a little bit darker.

"But..." Zale was hesitated, but when he loosened his grip on her hand, Iris immediately pulled her and continued walking away. The young boy followed closely to her.

There, aside from Aliana, all of the warriors that escorted them had shifted into their beasts and the four merchants were kneeling down in front of the last person they thought, they would meet here, especially alone.

It was Alan.

"My king! It’s them! They are the one, who has captured us! We have nothing to do with this!"

"They imprisoned us and demanded our grain!"

"They didn’t let us go, they kept us like a prisoner!"

"We have nothing to do with the fight between you and alpha Cane! We are not on his side! The alpha has robbed us!"

It was predicted for a merchant like them to change their side whenever it was convenient for them to save their ass. It was not even surprising anymore.

However, it was weird to see Alan was alone here. The fact he was here was already questionable. They all knew how coward this man was. There was no way he would come near the battlefield, let alone by himself.

"Step back," Iris said, her eyes fixed on Alan, who lifted her head from the merchant, who begged him. The sight of them was akin to an amusement for him.

"Luna, what are you doing here?!" Aliana asked, she was shocked to see Iris. The rain made her senses rendered useless. The sound of thunder was too loud and the noise from the rain made it harder to hear clearly, not to mention the fog limited their vision.

Despite all that, Iris could see Alan’s eyes. Those eyes were eerily familiar. The sight that she had seen in the past, the look that could send chill down your spine.

"Go back to the carriage!"

"Step back!"

Iris ignored Aliana’s warning, instead, she was talking to the four merchants.

"Step back all of you!" Iris roared. This restless feeling amplified when she saw the look on Alan’s eyes. It was not him. Deep down she knew it was not him.

"Luna, go back to the carriage!" Aliana tried to push Iris away. "Zale, take the luna back to the carriage!"

Zale had tired and Iris didn’t want to go back. "Luna doesn’t want to go back," Zale said, despite how Aliana could be very scary when she was angry, the young boy didn’t step back. He took an order from Iris, not someone else.

"Luna..."

"He is not Alan," Iris said, she cut Aliana’s complain.

"What?" Aliana furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"

"He is not Alan." Iris repeated what she said and this person that looked very similar like that coward man, smirked, wickedness clouded his red eyes, which only lasted for a second before it returned to its original color. "Decratic."

Iris breathed heavily, she felt like someone just stabbed her heart when she said the name, as if it was forbidden for her and all the ominous feelings overwhelmed her, while fear gripped her heart.

"What?" Aliana was not sure what Iris was talking about, because she didn’t have any idea about this. Only a handful people, who knew about it. "What is that?"
