The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 490: FAREWELL

Chapter 490: FAREWELL

It was weird, but at the same time, it did make sense when the white light that appeared in her palms actually scattered into hundreds of light quanta until it almost looked like specks of dust under the sunlight. It was beautiful and dazzling. Each speck of light went to each spirit, consumed them before the spirits finally disappeared from Iris’ sight one by one.

The sight of it was so devastating, Iris couldn’t describe it in words and because she was the only one who could see them, it was even more heartbreaking for her. As the living warriors and even Cane, couldn’t see them for one last time.

Cane had never said it, nor had he ever shown it, but he cared so much about and loved his people dearly. He was rather lenient with them.

"They are disappearing one by one..." Iris said in a whispery tone. She stared blankly at the last twelve warriors and all of them were very young, probably around Joel’s age. They must be his friends. "They are so young..."

Oliver and Eron lowered their heads, they could hear the sadness in Iris’ voice when she whispered to the wind, chanting her final goodbye to the dead warriors. They couldn’t see them, but knowing a battle had happened back in the pack and hearing Iris say there were spirits half of the warriors there, they realized how many people they had lost.

These people were someone they had shared their pain and joy with, they shared their food with each other and treaded dangerous moments together, someone they had known for years and so dear to them, but now, they lost them and they couldn’t even be there in their final moments.

"Farewell brave warriors, you will always be remembered..." Iris whispered when the last young warrior disappeared from her sight. It was only an empty spot now, with trees before her eyes and grass beneath her feet. The wind carried the flowery smell from the north.

Tears trickled down from Iris’ eyes and if it was not for Lu, who was standing behind her and still holding her closely, she would have dropped to the ground in a whimpering mess.

She didn’t know them closely, but she had so many reasons to be sad right now, she mourned the loss of those warriors. They only tested the freedom they always dreamed of for less than a year, but now they lost their lives...

"Their souls will rest in peace now," Lu said from behind her, he nuzzled her neck with his nose in an attempt to give her comfort.

The forest fell very silent, as if it also mourned the brave souls of the Howling Wolf pack.

Iris wiped her tears roughly and in a hoarse voice, she asked, "How do you know this? Could you see them?"

Iris could feel Lu shaking his head against her shoulder. "No. But, I have seen you do this a few times before."

She understood who Lu was referring to. It must be the first Serafim, since this power belonged to her. Lu must be the only person, aside from Rei, who knew how the Serafim’s power worked.

After a long moment of silence, Lu growled when he felt someone walk closer to them. It was Eron.

The warrior approached the Alpha and the Luna carefully, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a dangerous growl from his alpha, not sure why he was growling viciously at him.

And when Lu turned around and Eron saw his red eyes, he was stunned and took a few steps back.

"Stop it, Lu," Iris said, she squeezed his arm to warn him not to scare Eron and the lycan obliged. He looked sullen, but he did stop threatening the poor warrior.

"Lu... luna... I think we should go back to the place where we promised to meet with Dyne and Dean. They must have returned to provide a report regarding the situation in the pack." Now that they had found Cane and Iris, they needed to go back, so they could rejoin Dyne and Dean, and learn what happened in the Howling Wolf pack.

Eron kept glancing at the Alpha and was sure it was not Alpha Cane.

After what they had witnessed and how the explanation had not been provided, since the situation did not allow it yet, they still had this uncomfortable mixed feeling with so many questions that consumed their minds.

On the other hand, Oliver narrowed his eyes, his shoulders were so tense, as he pressed his lips tightly. His alpha being the lycan that had been terrorizing the entire continent for the past few months was something he didn’t expect at all, even in his wildest dreams.

It didn’t go unnoticed by Oliver as well when Iris succeeded in calming the lycan. How could she tame the lycan? A runt like her could control the cursed creature?

Oliver had a different point of view from the way Eron saw what was going on right now...

"Hm, let’s go..." Iris was so exhausted. Her mind was tangled, she was overwhelmed with so much information and new questions at the same time. A long discussion was needed, but before that, their top priority was to take a rest before they went crazy and their heads exploded...

Haco watched how Iris could use the first Serafim’s power, he wanted to have a conversation with her and there were a few things he wanted to let her know, but it was not the right time. He needed to wait until everything was sorted out.

"Can you give me Cane back?" Iris asked. She held Cane’s hand that was so cold to the touch. She wanted her mate back, but didn’t want to offend the lycan that had helped her.

Lu sulked, but it was Cane’s face that was pouting in everyone’s eyes. Oliver and Eron almost stumbled when they saw their alpha making such a face.

"He is tired, he can’t play with you. Why don’t you play with me? Why do you always ask for him? You don’t like me?"
