The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: JOURNEY TO THE HOWLING PACK (2)

Iris picked up a chunk of rock and gave it to Cane, after which he used his claws to clean the rock and get the magic stone out of it.

"Water magic stone," Cane said, as he looked at the stone in his hand.

On the other hand, Iris could see that she got the right stone. She needed to remember the feeling that she felt earlier. In that way, she would be able to distinguish between the elements of the stones.

"I found it," Iris said softly and then turned her body around to walk toward the carriage.

Cane didn’t follow her, but the young guard walked right next to her. Apparently, he was quite a chatterbox. "How did you do that, luna?"

Iris tilted her head because she felt the young man was talking to her. "What?"

"How can you find the magic stone?" He repeated his question. His eyes lit up with excitement, which made Iris feel a little bit taken aback. "Oh, I am sorry for being rude, Luna, I am Joel from the third unit under gamma Ethan."

"Oh, nice to know you, Joel," Iris replied.

"You are so amazing, Luna, how can you do that?" He was awed to see Iris’ ability. Before this, he had heard about how she managed to locate forty five magic stones, but then he didn’t truly believe it.

Yet, witnessing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t help agreeing that it was not just any random rumor.

"I don’t know, I just did," Iris replied, because she herself didn’t know how she could manage to do that.

However, instead of feeling like his enthusiasm was dampened, the young guard looked amazed by that. "That must be a gift!"

Iris laughed dryly when she saw his expression, but the genuine curiosity and amazement toward her were the things that softened her heart.

"Oh, Luna, I know that you definitely don’t know about me, but I want to thank you for what you have done." They stopped in front of the carriage and he looked a little bit nervous and timid. "I want to thank you for sending water to me when I was in the dungeon. I thought I would die when they starved me for two days after whipping me."

Iris flinched when she heard that. She didn’t feel it was right for them to be grateful for the little effort that she put in after they had suffered in the hands of her father.

However, she didn’t want to argue and prolong this awkward conversation, because she didn’t feel comfortable with people showing their gratitude openly like this.

"I am glad I can be of help for you." After saying that, she scurried inside the carriage, while Joel bowed his head respectfully.

The rest of the night was the same as yesterday, the sky was still gloomy, but the air was so dry. They said there would be a storm at night, therefore, they didn’t stop for lunch. They settled for having something while they kept moving, so they could reach the Howling Wolf pack right after sun down.

However, the plan didn’t go smoothly, because when the rain started pouring down the earth, they were attacked by monsters before they could reach the gates of the Howling Wolf pack.
