The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960: THE FINAL BATTLE (26)

Aliana took Abby’s baby, because she looked like she was going to faint. They had run for hours now and they couldn’t afford to fight a monster, even more if there was a horde of them.

Abby also was not in a good condition, she ran out of strength and the magic users were rather useless without the magic stones and the Sylph.

This wouldn’t do, they needed to find a way out, but where they had to go? At this point, there was nowhere safe for them.

"I think, we need to keep heading south, Aliana," Joel said. "The red smoke spread from the Capital City to Red Claw pack and then Golden Light pack. If we kept heading south, I think we can avoid the poisonous miasma."

"You are right," Aliana said breathlessly. Her head was spinning. The poisonous miasma had not yet purified completely from her body. She looked around. She was rather familiar with this area because they set a base here when they fought alongside Red Claw pack warriors against the royal. "Let’s go here."

Aliana led the way, as the rest of them followed. The scouts went ahead to inform them whether the path was safe or not, with that, they could avoid an encounter with monsters and took another way if the poisonous miasma blocked their path.

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

"I can’t move..." Zale protested. He laid down on the ground, staring at the night sky. After the storm and everything that happened, the sky looked clearer now. "I am so exhausted..."

After more than five hours purged Decratic’s body, all of them felt out of strength.

"Even in his death, he still managed to make other people miserable." Lou stretched his body. He then walked toward Cane, who was still cradling Iris in his arms. He didn’t move at all, until Lou thought he and Iris had turned into statue. "How is she?"

"Sleeping," Cane replied without lifting his head to look at the merchant.

Lou then crouched down and took Iris’s hand to check her condition. The alpha frowned when he touched his mate, but he didn’t say anything.

"She is fine. The babies are fine too." Lou tilted his head. "She overused her power and now she is sleeping to recover her energy." He didn’t want to inform Cane directly, thus he spoke as if he was talking to himself.

With this proximity, no matter how faint he talked, Cane would be able to listen to him. After that, Lou stood up and walked toward Redmond. He frowned at the warrior. He should be the one that had Kellan’s head, while Kellan’s body was with Zephyr and Dean. It was still moving, but barely, since the two of them tied it tightly.

"Where is that head?" Lou looked around. Redmond was sitting alone here.

Kellan stopped cursing hours ago, where Lou thought he finally got tired, but he couldn’t see him anywhere.

Lou didn’t want to deal with his body. He wanted to hear his scream when he destroyed him.

"There." Redmond nodded at his feet and stomped his feet on the ground. "I buried him. Too noisy. If you wanted him, you can dig him out."

Lou scowled, but Redmond refused to dig the head from the ground. He chose to lay down and close his eyes. "I am too tired for extra labor," Redmond said.

The merchant couldn’t believe that. He was the one, who had been working for hours, but this warrior had the audacity to say he was the one, who tired.

However, Lou knew better that Redmond wouldn’t do it, thus he dug the head himself, cursing in every movement, but for Redmond it was akin to a lullaby.
