The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (30)

When Abby woke up, everything was over. The battled had ended.

They couldn’t say that they won this battle, since there were a lot of casualties on their side and the royal warriors were forced to retreat.

The reinforcement managed to find a way to go to the other side of the landslide, but when they got there, a lot of people had died. The shifters, the Holy Knights and the magic users. There were not many of them, who survived.

It was the third day and people built a few tents there, because of so many dead people that they had to bury, many children and older one that had fallen sick, as the result of the rain and a lot of things they had to rearrange, not to mention there were some people were missing.

Grace was a handful, she barely could rest when the sick people overflooded the tent, she didn’t have the capacity to heal them, only alleviated their pain for a certain amount of time, but not really got rid of it.

The Serafim was the only one, who could do it, but she was currently unconscious, even if she woke up now, she couldn’t immediately treat them, it would take her a few days to get her health back and during that time, there were more children would die because of the illness.

People prayed in front of her tent for her to wake quickly, while the Holy Knights restricted them from getting close to the tent. They couldn’t care less with the shifter. They were being civil with them because they were on the mission and the Serafim was here to help them.

Therefore, they needed to suppress their disliked toward these creatures of half human and half beast. Despite that personal feeling, they tried their best to help too.

Cedric sent some knights to look for the missing people, on the landslide. It would take them a while to get to the bottom of it, since it was very steep and deep.

While Eron and the other had been down there for days when the Holy Knights came, bringing food for them.

At this point, Eron had found seven of the royal warriors and five of their pack members, all of them were dead.

The three warriors from their packs were crushed under the rock and their body couldn’t be retrieved, they recognized the shoes they were wearing and one of them, his face was still able to be recognixed.

Two of the luna’s personal warriors died, Asher and Reed. Asher’s chest was crushed by a huge rock, while Reed died after being rescued, he was alive for a few hours, but because he sustained a lot of injuries, his healing ability couldn’t keep up.

Kian and Zephyr were alive, the two of them were badly injured, but from the look of it, they would be able to survive, though it would take some time for them to get them out of there, because they were barely able to move.

Meanwhile, Aliana, Haco, Joel and Celia were still missing.

They didn’t have any idea where they were, since they had searched the whole area, where they found the other people, but there was no sign of them at all.

The only reason it could happen was because... they were buried very deep under the rockslide, in that case, there was no way for them to retrieve their body, but if that was what happened, it was very certain that they were dead.

It was impossible for them to survive such misfortune.

"Should we continue?" Otis asked, he ate his food, but he didn’t seem to enjoy it at all. He ate because he needed more energy to deal with what was going on, not because he really wanted it.

How could you eat in front of your dead friends?

"Cedric said to go back, we need to move to the Riverside pack," one of the knights told them. "There will be more people, who came to retrieve the bodies. We will make a proper ceremony for the dead, but after that, we have to move and fortified ourselves within the Riverside pack."

Otis and Dyne looked at Eron, so did Arlen and Deca, the two of them wanted to return to their pack badly, but they couldn’t make the decision on their own.

Eron thought about it for a while. "Let’s look for one more day, after that, we will return." He saw how the knights groaned, dissatisfied with his decision. "There are still four of our pack members, who are missing and moreover, it’s not like you will start to move tomorrow, right? The Serafim is still not awake yet, isn’t she?"

Eron was right, they were waiting for the Serafim’s condition to be stable first before they decided to move.

"Very well." The knights didn’t have another choice, but to agree.

With that, they ate in silence, taking a rest for a few minutes and started to search for the rest of their pack member with the help of the knights.

And the result was still the same. They couldn’t find them...
