The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656: A VICIOUS SMIRK

If they needed to leave this place, they needed to do it quickly, because the warrior from the Winter Moon pack had started to besiege the whole area, they closed the gates and used the pack member to threaten Cane and his people to back off.

Meanwhile, the remaining warriors inside the gates tried to fight them off with no avail, since they were being greatly outnumbered.

At the same time, small groups of warriors that Cane had assigned, started to move as well. Cane had expected this, but the scale of chaos was bigger than they predicted.

Inside the pack house of Diandem pack, there were two secret passageways that would be used by those groups, Cane had formed, to escort the people out.

The first group would be the seven warriors that protected the luna.

However, they stuck here because of these people blocked their way. Not all warriors from Diandem pack betrayed Cane, but definitely the former beta and gamma along with the other fifteen warriors shared the same sentiment about fighting against their new sovereign.

Alpha Nolan would be behind all of this, because these people wouldn’t be brazen enough, to go against Cane without any back up.

"Hand over the luna and I will let all of you go!" Argean said in loud voice. He took a step closer, but Zephyr, in his beast form, snarled at him. The beast was ready to tear him apart.

Meanwhile, Zale looked very vicious, he was full of a killing intent, even for his age.

"Do you really think you can leave unscathed from this kind of betrayal?" Aliana narrowed her eyes. "The alpha will definitely kill you once he got a hold of your neck."

"Only if he is alive to do so," Grory scoffed. "Do you know your alpha is in dire situation? Currently, he and his people stuck between the Winter Moon warrior and the Royal warrior. He can’t bring his people to take shelter inside Diandem gates because alpha Nolan has conquered this pack. Do you really think he can survive?"

All of them were seething and Iris was fuming. Her hand that held Zale’s tightened without her knowing it when she did what she needed to do.

It happened so fast and none of them realized what was going on when Grory let out a shrill scream in the end of his nasty speech, he dropped to his knees and clutched his chest tightly, as if his life was being sucked out of his body and he was having a hard time to breath.

It was excruciatingly painful. The warrior had gone to a handful battles and sustained some serious injuries, but those experiences were nothing compared to this. The agony was slow and harrowing, as if he was being shredded to pieces, while still alive.

Grory felt it happened for long time, while in fact, it only happened for a mere few seconds.

"What is going on?!" Argean fell on his knees as well, as he watched in horror how Grory’s face turned blue and fresh blood oozed out of his mouth. Something was extremely wrong with him!

Grory didn’t die right away, but he kept bleeding and his eyes dimmed, as if his life left his body, even though he was still alive. That was when you knew the spirit beast inside of the shifter had died...

"Black magic... Black magic..." Argean mumbled to himself when he watched Grory’s current state. "This must be dark magic!" he roared angrily. "Someone must have cursed him!" He stood up and glared at the warriors that surrounded their luna. "One of you must be a dark sorcerer!"

On the other hand, Eron, Aliana and the other warriors were dumbstruck, they didn’t even expect something like this would happen. They didn’t even know what was going on and what the cause of Grory’s pain.

They were utterly speechless when Argean accused them for using dark magic when there was no magic user among them.

"Kill them! Kill them all! There is dark sorcerer among them!" Argean roared his order to the other fifteen beasts, who took his side and shared the same craziness like him to betray Cane. "Kill them all!"

Grory current condition frightened Argean, as he wanted these pests to be killed, just in case it would be his turn next.

And just like that, it was indeed his turn, because a second later, he let out a wailing sound, as if he was being slaughtered when he fell to the ground, his body convulsed wildly, while fresh blood came out of his nose and mouth.

All of them watched in horror upon what happened to Grory and Argean. By the time Argean stopped wailing, fresh blood still came out of his mouth. The two of them were still very much alive, you could see from the way their chest moved when they were breathing, but there was no sign of life in their eyes. They were dead inside.

"Wh- what’s going on...?" Aliana was dumbfounded, this was the first time for her to witness this disturbing sight and her first instinct was to cover Iris’s eyes, so she didn’t need to witness it.

Yet, when she looked at the luna, Aliana’s heart skipped a bit, as she saw there was a little smirk on the corner of her lips, her eyes glinted with malice, almost like she enjoyed this horrid sight.

Did she just see thing?

And miles away, another sword had broken...

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

"If you really want to fight them, can’t you do it properly?!" Nala growled at Lou, she chastised him for his failed attempt to kill the warrior and now, they were being hunted down by two angry beasts.

"Can’t you stop talking for at least a week? You give me a headache!" Lou pulled Nala into one of the rooms and locked the door behind them. He tried to push a cabinet to block the door, but he simply didn’t have enough strength to do so. "Use your energy for something useful and push this cabinet to block the door!"

"How can you ask a woman to push something heavy?!" Nala asked incredulously.

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

It was Zale, who initiated the first attack, while the rest of the warriors around him were flabbergasted upon seeing what just happened before their eyes.

The young boy pulled his hand away from Iris when she loosened up a little bit and then shifted into his beast, which snapped them out of their shocked and the fight broke out.

Technically speaking, they were being outnumbered, but somehow, it was easy enough for them to kill their enemy, even Zale managed to kill one.

Meanwhile, Aliana stayed close to Iris, just in case there was a beast that managed to escape from the protection of the warriors, in this position, it allowed her to observe Iris a little bit more closely and she was sure, the luna had something to do with how easy their enemy were killed.

Something was off with the way she watched everything unfolded before her eyes without even blinking. Aliana used to know her as a timid person and hated violence, but right now, Iris looked very indifferent...

It didn’t take long before they managed to kill the fifteen beasts, especially when Joel and Finn joined in.

"What’s going on here? Weren’t they the warrior from Diandem pack," Finn asked, bent his body politely toward the luna.

"Luna, are you, okay?" Joel immediately approached Iris to see if she was harmed. "You look a little bit pale.

"It’s okay, I am fine," Iris said gently, she smiled to reassure the young warrior. He got even taller now.

"Let’s go, we need to move now." Zephyr shifted into his human form and Reed took his role to stay in his beast form.

"Why don’t you go also?" Iris asked when she saw Joel and Finn fell back, she held Zale’s hand tightly again now, afraid this young boy would run off again like before.

"We- we will go after you," Joel replied, a little bit stumbling with his words.

"Why don’t we go together?" Iris insisted and saw the reluctance in their eyes, but it was Aliana, who let her knew.

"They are tasked to protect Sofia and her baby, luna. It will be inconvenience for you if the two of you in the same place.

As if on cue, they heard a soft cry from a baby.
