The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 956

Chapter 956: THE FINAL BATTLE (22)

The mark that connected her with Cane had gone, which only left the connection between her and Decratic. The bond between the Serafim and Decratic. The balance between light and darkness.

Iris felt like she was being drawn, but she was too lazy to save herself. She was too tired. Her anger, pain and misery made the silence in this darkness became very therapeutic, something that she needed.

She was spent because of the rage she felt, the never ending battle, which resulted the death of so many people she held so dear. Probably, this was her sign to stop trying and let everything happened as it was.

This was very quiet here, very peaceful. It was the opposite of what was going on out there. Too many deaths, too many pain, too many gut- wrenching cries... she didn’t want that anymore when she was finally being in peace.

She watched from behind a murky veil how the world collapsed, how people died, the red smoke that spread throughout the land of this continent had consumed so many souls. They died without being able to fight back.

And right now, out there, if she was stepping out from this quiet place, she would watch the man that she loved being brutally murdered. Iris could see how much in pain Cane was when the bond between them snapped and vanished.

She was also in the same pain.

The connection that she built so hard for months in order to reach to him in his deep illusion, was destroyed when Decratic got rid of her mark.

She was in the dark now.

Meanwhile, in the reality that Iris didn’t want to face, the ground was spilt, the air was contaminated, world crumbled and the lycan was in agony...

The four of Iris’s protectors reached the lycan in time and created a barrier around them, as they helped the lycan. Aside from the pain from the mate bond, the cursed creature had breathed so much poisonous miasma, in which soon enough Cane was forced back into his human form.

"Are you alright?!" Lou asked Cane, he knelt down beside him. "Hey! Talk to me!" He needed to shout because the howling wind was very crazy.

Cane gritted his teeth, but he stood up and looked at Decratic with Iris. His mate was right before his eyes, but he couldn’t reach him. What made his blood boiled was the fact Decratic had his arms around her body.

However, there was one thing that gave him a mixed feeling, that was when he saw she was still pregnant. It was very obvious now their babies were due within a few weeks.

"The luna is pregnant!" Jace was surprised. He and Ethan had shifted back into their human form too.

"You don’t know?" Ethan frowned at him.

"You know?" Jace was even more shocked when he saw Ethan didn’t seem to be surprised. "The luna has been pregnant all this time and you know? Am I the only who didn’t know about this?" He looked around and watched that Lou and Redmond didn’t seem to be surprised, while Cezi and Cedric only had a mild reaction, while Zale looked excited.

"They wanted to keep it a secret." Ethan patted his shoulder.

"Even from me?"

"Don’t you think this is not the right time to mull over that?" Redmond frowned at Jace.

The beta was speechless. He was not sure why he would be the last person, who received such news? Though Redmon was right, he was still annoyed.

"What are you going to do now? Do you have any plan?" Lou approached Cane. He looked at him closely.

"Can you make an opening for me to get close to them?" Cane asked, while Decratic smirked at him, as if he watched their useless attempt to retaliate as a mere entertainment.

"Not sure," Lou said.

However, before the conversation could continue, Decratic had used his power to send thunder against Cane small party, scattered them and widen the distance between them.

Yet, that was not only it, because aside from countless thunder, there was these black bees that emerged from the fissure of the ground.

They didn’t have any idea how deathly this little creature was, but sure enough, they wouldn’t risk their life to find out.

The bees appeared in colony, at the very least, there were seven to eight colonies of bees. It moved so fast and aside dodging the thunder, they needed to dodge it too. Thing didn’t look good on their side.

"How is it? Do you like it? Will it ease your pain?" Decratic caressed Iris’s cheeks, while she didn’t respond to her.

"Damn these bees!" Lou roared, as a retaliation, he burned a few colonies of bees, creating fire surrounded him and the other, which was not put off even under the rain. The flames were so bright, it reflected on the dark night sky. "Cane, go! We will cover for you!"

Cane shifted into his beast and then charged forward, followed by Lou, who climbed onto Ethan’s beast, Zale, Jace, Redmond, Ethan and Cedric on Zephyr’s back.

Lou created an opening that Cane needed, as he gladly burned those bees from coming after them and the other created a shield around them, but a thunder was enough to break it, thus they needed to move faster than this.

It was not easy, especially when the ground kept shaking and splitting, while vomiting these bees.

Cane used the black wisp and killed one colony of it, but he could feel the broken mate bond impacted him. The lycan was not stable. He could feel the cursed creature clawed within him, wanted to be unleashed. The anger and the pain caused Lu to go feral.
