The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957: THE FINAL BATTLE (23)

They could hear the roaring sound of the monsters and this was too close for them to be outside of the fortress, therefore, there must be some of the monsters that managed to go through the fortress or worse... Joel and Finn failed to activate the device and now the monsters ravaged this place.

Whatever it was, they needed to go and see what was going on.

"Four of you! Come with me!" Aliana said. She handed back Abby’s baby to her. She kissed the baby cheek and reminded Abby not to go out and keep the place safe. "Hold down for as long as you can."

Abby bit her lip and nodded. "Please, be careful."

"I will." She shifted into her beast and went out of the protection shield.

With that, Aliana went away with the other four warriors and they immediately greeted by a Vermeyes and a Geromine.

She also spotted Finn and Joel’s beasts, they were struggling to move, an indication that they were breathing the poisonous miasma.

It didn’t take long for Aliana and the other to attack the two monsters. They had enough experienced with the monsters and knew what to do.

But, their real problem was the poisonous miasma, as the device from Lou could only hold back the monsters, not the red smoke and the barrier that was created to prevent it was only available around the pack house.

Aliana gestured to two of the beasts to take Joel and Finn out of this battlefield, as they could no longer fight anymore.

They obliged and took the two young warriors away from there, leaving Aliana and two warriors to deal with the two monsters.

The other two warriors would return again later to help with the fight, because they really needed to end this and return to the pack house before the poisonous miasma reached them.

However, a few minute into the fight, the ground was splitting and it swallowed the two monsters, leaving the three beasts in trepidation, as they rushed to save themselves.

Soon enough the poisonous miasma had reached the pack house.

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

Iris was in pain, she was in this dark place, watching how everything unfolded before her eyes, but everything looked blurry, as if she was staring from under the water.

She was consumed by the darkness. Her body was there, standing next to Decratic, but her mind wandered. It almost felt like you were not yourself anymore.

You didn’t know the direction, up and down, or time, everything felt useless, even breathing was a labor.

She wanted to sleep.

She wanted to just let it go and stop fighting it.

However, amidst that confusion, uncertainty and vagueness, Iris saw these two little lights came to her. One of the lights swirled around actively, but the second light was calm as it approached her and rested on her shoulder.

Iris stared at the one on her shoulder and then nudged it. Upon closer look, she could see watch how it changed its shape.

At first, the two lights were only the size of a snowflake, but then it grew, she watched the two lights grew in size and took a shape of wolf.

They were her babies’ spirit wolves.

The one that on her shoulder nuzzled her neck, as it curled it body comfortably close to her, while the other chased its own tail around her legs. This one seemingly couldn’t even stay in one place for a second.

Iris had tears rolled down her eyes when she closed them and saw the light, but when she opened her eyes again, she found herself was no longer engulfed in the darkness, instead, she was in this beautiful place that she held so dear in her heart.

The place where she took Cane when he was trapped in an illusion and now, her babies took her here too.

The grass was white and the waterfall and the flowers were exactly like she remembered. She was sitting there under the shadow of the tree, while Cane was taking a nap, using her lap as a pillow. His face looked peaceful.

Iris stared at Cane’s face in disbelief, as she stretched out her hand and brushed away his hair. He snored softly, he seemed to put his guard completely down, which was so unlike him.

But then, Iris realized why. There was this barrier around them, which most likely, she was the one, who put it.

"Mama! Mama look!" There was this a little boy, around the age of four or five, running toward her with a bunch of flowers that covered his face.

He stumbled when he got close to her and Iris stretched out her hands out of instinct to catch him, but he was giggling mirthfully, as he gave the flowers to her.

"For you!" His voice was like a breeze of wind in the morning, it was very refreshing to hear and make you smile with your eyes close, just to enjoy the moment.

And when he dropped the flower, Iris could see the clearest blue eyes that she had ever seen. He had this cute curl that similar to her, but with black hair.

Iris found the smile on his face warmed her heart.

"Mama, why are you crying?" The little boy frowned. He put his small hands on each side of her cheeks and kissed the tip of her nose. "He is there."

At first, Iris didn’t understand what he meant, but the little boy pointed out something behind her and when she turned her head to see what it was, she saw another little boy, curling his body against Lil Thing, both of them took a nap.

In this moment, Iris didn’t know whether she wanted to laugh or cry.

Was this a dream? Was this a future?
