The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931: MANIPULATION AND THE TRUTH (4)

After Rei had taken away Elder Dandolf before he could give any information about what happened to her mother, Iris was left inside this empty hall, where she felt a strong black magic from a certain direction.

She didn’t have any idea where she was right now, but her instinct told her there was a massive mishap somewhere. Rei managed to manipulate the situation, yet was it really only her?

Where was Cane? He was supposed to be here.

She was not inside the abandon house and now she wondered whether that house was really existed in the first place.

Her little lights fluttered around her. One of them rested on her shoulder and then moved slowly, while the other was spinning above her head.

Iris raised her hand and the little light perched on her finger. "It’s okay, baby. It’s okay." She smiled softly, but there was this nagging feeling in her heart that told her to find the source of the black magic she felt right now.

Iris looked around her. She was not sure where the exit was, whether how she could get here, thus she followed the only guide she had; the black magic, which led her to go through a dark tunnel.

Having locked inside the dark attic very often, Iris developed this fear of a dark place, but her little lights shone the path for her and there was one more thing that she noticed; despite she was being alone, she didn’t feel scare at all.

Technically, she was not alone, she had her babies with her, who would always accompany her.

"Do you want to go there?" Iris talked in soft voice. "Okay, let’s go."

The tunnel was dark, but her little lights made it easy for her, even the lazy one was trying to keep up with the other light. They were already as big as her thumb right now and started to shape.

This tunnel was very long, it seemed this was located under the ground, because Iris had to exert an effort, since the ground started to go uphill in some part.

But, when she finally saw the light in the end of this tunnel and emerged from there, she saw something that made her heart dropped to her stomach.

Iris had never been in the Red Claw pack’s magic stone mine before, but she was sure this was the place, because she could feel that she was surrounded by countless fire magic stone. She didn’t feel it earlier because of the ominous feeling she felt that came from the black magic, but when she was literally standing on top of thousand magic stone, the feeling became palpable.

However, that was not Iris’s main concern right now, since she saw Cane was standing on the edge of a cliff, he was ready to jump. He walked slowly toward the edge and there was no sign he was going to stop.

"Cane!" Iris called him on the top of her lungs and started to run toward her mate. "Cane! Stop! What are you doing?!"

To her horror, Cane didn’t look like he was hearing her voice at all. He kept going and Iris felt like her heart dropped to her stomach when Cane was only two steps away from falling.

She didn’t know how high this cliff was, but from the wind that was howling around her, she knew the altitude of this place would make you met your demise once you fell.

"CANE!"

Iris ran as fast as she could, her heart was beating painfully and her lungs demanded more air, yet Iris didn’t heed her body’s scream for her to slow down, instead she ran faster. Tears started welling up in her eyes when she was thinking the worse, where she was being very late.

There was no time to think and when she finally could reach him, Iris hugged him from behind. Her touch purified the black magic that controlled Cane. How was he able to be controlled by the dark magic when the lycan was with him?

However, Iris didn’t have time for the question. She only wanted to drag her mate to a safe place.

"Iris?" Cane’s voice was hoarse, but it managed to soothe her anxiety and a moment later, he had carried her in his arms and took both of them to a safe place. He looked confused, but his grip on her body was very firm.

He looked around and it seemed, only now it registered to his mind what he was going to do if Iris didn’t stop him in time.

"What happened, Cane? What did you see?" Iris asked with concern in her voice, because she could feel how his body was currently trembling, not because with the fact he almost jumped off the cliff, but something else. Iris could tell that.

"Nothing." Cane’s response was very curt and he didn’t give any room for Iris to ask further. "Where are they? What actually is happening?"

He led thousands of forces to enter the Red Claw pack, but right now, they were already in their territory, but there was no one else here aside from the two of them.

It reminded Cane of the spies that mysteriously disappeared without any trace.

"I am not sure," Iris said in small voice and then started to recall her encounter with Rei and the grip on her body became more protective. "Where do you think we are, Cane? I can feel a lot of magic stone here. Are we in the magic stone’s mines?"

"Yes." Cane had been here before, though he was sure this was their mines, but a lot of things had changed here.

"We need to go to find them," Iris said hastily, she was worried about the other people and how they were right now. She couldn’t imagine if the people that dear to her went through the same thing like Cane and there was no one to stop them from jumping.

"Can you find them like how you found me?"

"I will try."

Cane kissed her forehead, but his protective arm around her waist didn’t move an inch. He was being very alert toward his surroundings and any potential danger, even Iris could feel how his body was very tense.

"Cane, are you sure, you are okay?"

"I am."

Iris then didn’t pry further and then pointed her finger at a certain direction where she felt the black magic and both of them started to walk away.

But, Cane turned his head and looked over his shoulder to a spot where Leane was standing only a few minutes ago. The woman that he prayed he could meet with her once again...

They were indeed inside the Red Claw pack, not only that, they were already in their magic stone mines.

"How can you find me?" Cane asked Iris when they walked together, the sky had turned red and the sun was almost set. The alpha was on high alert. His hand on her waist tightened, which made Iris frowned.

"I felt the black magic from you," Iris replied with honesty, as she tilted her head and looked at him. "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Once again, Cane denied to explanation what he actually felt.

"Cane?"

"This place is very vast." Cane looked up, the sky had turned dark. He was less anxious compared to when Iris found him the first time. "You need to get us out of here," he said to Lou. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
