The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853: RED MIASMA

The lights came from her power and when Iris was done, the lights would fade away and disappear, but strangely enough these two lights remained, floated around her playfully.

However, Iris didn’t have time to think about it too much, she still had a lot of things to do and think about.

"How is she?" Iris asked Cedric about Abby. She didn’t look well, but this was a better result than the last time she tried to absorb the dark magic from Ethan.

"I don’t think she can continue." Cedric gave her his honest opinion.

"I can..." Abby said stubbornly. She wanted to get up, but it was obvious that she didn’t have any strength left in her to keep going.

But, Iris could understand Abby a little bit better now after she saw her memories. She was able to grasp what kind of feeling she felt right now. The urge and obsession to prove herself that she was not useless and weak, but time and time again, the universe failed her, proved her that she was indeed unable to meet other people’s expectation.

"Bring her back to the carriage and let Grace check on her." Iris could see that Abby wouldn’t be able to handle more fight after this, even though she was still conscious.

"No, I can go on..." Abby was adamant, stubborn tears welled in her eyes.

Iris wanted to say that she would only hinder them, since it was already so hard for Abby to move, but it would sound too harsh on her. Therefore, she softened her choice of word.

"Abby, I assumed you have not yet taken the potion." Iris watched her reaction and believed she was right. "Let Grace check on you." And the baby too. That was the hidden meaning behind Iris’s word.

And this time, Abby didn’t refuse anymore, she let Cedric to carry her back to the carriage.

Meanwhile, another battle happened inside the fortress. But, needless to say, it was not something that Iris and the rest should be worried about, since from the sound of it, their people had the upper hand in this battle.

Yet, Iris still felt uneasy before she could find Cane.

"Luna, I bring Lil Thing here!" Zale jumped down from the bear’s back. "You can ride it when you entered the pack, so you will not get tired!"

Lil Thing yawned, it was being dragged here when it took a nap. The lazy bear was actually having its own free time, while Iris and Abby absorbed the dark magic.

Ethan frowned. "When did he leave to get Lil Thing?" This young boy sure enough ran errand without being told.

"Thank you, Zale." Iris smiled softly at the young boy and he beamed to find himself useful for her.

See? It was a complicated feeling and was hard to explain about why people tended to try to prove how worthy they were to the point it destroyed themselves like what happened to Abby.

And for Zale, it might be only a simple ’thank you’ for Iris, but the warm feeling would last for days for this young boy.

Lil Thing nuzzled her arms and rested its big head next to her lap. Iris then scratched the back of its ear out of instinct. She needed to stay for a while before she was ready to enter. Just a little bit more...

Iris was sure, Lou and Jace would be able to find Cane.

Meanwhile, inside the pack, everything went so well. The warriors, the knights and the magic users worked together and it was not hard to defeat their enemies, since they were already disorganized because of the shockwave earlier.

However, it was not easy when they reached the spot where Dexter and Zeke fought against the lycan and the four elders faced the scary little boy.

The air became very tensed and it suffocated them, as if the closer they got the more they couldn’t breath, thus they could only stay outside the invisible circle that marked the battle ground for the eight of them.

Rooftops had been thrown away and houses had flattened to the ground, while trees had been uprooted, dirt and debris swirled in the wind.

It was hard to see clearly inside this invisible circle. But, one thing for sure, they saw the lycan’s black wisp that attacked Dexter and Zeke viciously. The two dark sorcerers looked like they were having a hard time to fight back and put the lycan under control.

The lycan moved too fast for them to follow and the black wisp was harder to handle than they imagined.
