The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 951

Chapter 951: THE FINAL BATTLE (17)

"Cane, I think you really need to get some rest first." Jace looked at the alpha and was very concern about his condition. He just woke up after months of being unconscious. It must have taken a toll on his body, seeing how his wounds didn’t heal yet.

However, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to find a way to deal with the situation. The beta felt so uneasy, lest his condition worsened. He could see the impact of his presence to the moral of the warriors.

If he fell, they would lose hope again. Jace knew very well how atrocious it was to be given hope only to be taken away, leaving you in deeper misery.

"Where is them?" Cane ignored Jace concerned. He didn’t want to wait at all. He had kept her wait for months.

"Them? Who?" Jace turned around and watched all the people, who followed Cane here.

"Come here," Cane said. He gestured for Lou, Cedric, Cezi and Zale to come closer to him. The four of them understood what he intended to do.

"Alpha Cane, if we used the divine power to try to break the shield again, they will come to us. Decratic will send his mind controller after us," Cezi tried to explain the situation to Cane. "The last time, we lost fifty three people on our side."

"I have told him about that," Lou said. "He didn’t want to listen."

"Try it again," Cane said. He stared at the shield. He could tell this was a strong one, even when he didn’t know much about magic.

"Alpha, you will put the people in danger if you..." Cedric wanted to make it clear that it was not an option and they had tried it, but Cezi put his hand on his shoulder to stop him.

Meanwhile, the merchant was already folding his sleeves. "Well, if you insisted. Let’s go brat!" He patted Zale’s shoulder, but more like he hit him, because it was too harsh and the boy stumbled forward.

"I have a name, you tacky man!" Zale growled at Lou, pretending the hit didn’t hurt at all.

Seeing this, Jace knew there was no negotiation. He backed down and ordered the warriors to prepare themselves. They had fought the mind controller before, so they knew what they expected.

Ethan watched Cedric, Lou, Cezi and Zale took their position with a frown. Why he was not part of them? He was still annoyed about that.

On the other hand, Cane gave his undivided attention to the impact that the four of them could pull against the shield.

His eyes flickered in red color. The lycan within him was enraged, so was he.

=============================

"You can’t be here."

A young, lanky man came out of hiding. He looked a little bit older than Joel, but from his figure, Iris could tell that he was not a shifter. He was not a magic user, but he reeked of black magic. She had seen him a few times, following Dexter or Kellan.

The two of them couldn’t do any harm on her because of Decratic’s order, but they also couldn’t get close to her because Iris wouldn’t be polite.

"You shouldn’t be here," he said.

"Why not?" Iris asked. She tightened her grip on Annie’s hand, while the little girl tried to hide behind her back. The other fifteen little girls looked terrified. They backed away to the shadow.

"Prince Kellan will be so mad," he said. "I came here to get her. Annie, come with me. Sir Kellan wanted to see you."

"No. No. I don’t want to go!" Annie started sobbing.

"You look so dirty. Someone will clean you up. Prince Kellan will be mad if he saw you like this." He furrowed his brows. He didn’t want to do it, but he couldn’t disobey the order.

"She will not go anywhere. She will come with me." Iris narrowed her eyes at him. "Back off, Letto."

"Luna Iris. I can’t leave without her. Prince Kellan wanted to see her. Please understand," he said apologetically. "You can see Annie after."

"Tell him to fuck off." Iris didn’t use to curse before, but after months lived in this hellish place, she was accustomed to it now.

Letto grimaced when he heard her. "Luna, Iris. Please..."

Iris gave Letto a dagger look, but she didn’t heed his plea, instead she turned around and instructed Annie to get her other friends to come with her as well.

"Go, get them," Iris said softly. She caressed her head. "Don’t worry. I will protect you."

"You can’t protect anyone, luna," Letto said sadly. "You are here because you are not strong enough to even protect yourself." He didn’t say it out of malice, but he was sad to see Iris’s current condition. He felt bad for her.

"Go, Letto." Iris could see that he only wanted to help her, so she wouldn’t get herself into trouble, but the fact that he said was hurt. She didn’t even want to think how many people had died because of her backlash.

Did it reach the area where the shifters were? It was a good thing that they didn’t come with her and Cane through the second fortress, or else, she would have killed them all without a doubt.

However, did they survive?

Iris didn’t even want to make a guess.

"Luna Iris. You only troubled yourself. Sometime, you need to turn blind eyes," Letto persuaded her. "It will be easier for you too."

"I know hardship, Letto. I grow up with it. Life has never been easy or kind to me lately. But, I will never choose an easy path for my own comfort." Iris took a step closer toward him. "I know life has never been easy to you too."
