The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 647: CANE’S GRAND SCHEME (2)

Chapter 647: CANE’S GRAND SCHEME (2)

No offense to Cane, but he was being really impulsive now to demand the Serafim’s presence. The title of Serafim was not something that you could take lightly.

But then, just like how Ethan knew the alpha, he wouldn’t do something without thinking twice or thrice. What the reason of trying to let other people learned about Iris’s identity now?

"Cane, seriously, you drive me crazy now!" Ethan looked very frustrated. He used to follow Cane’s order without making a fuss about it. Yes, there would be question here and there, but right now, he literally demanded an answer from him. "Tell me what is your plan?"

Everything didn’t feel right and this black rain made them anxious. It had been a few days now when the sky was as black as night, even when it was day, added to occasional black rain that poured down the continent and made you felt gloomy, this was not really a good combination. Everything made the gamma agitated.

Everyone felt agitated and had a short temper.

Cane turned around and faced Ethan. People’s mood had been very down lately. He could feel that.

"Iris is pregnant right now, don’t you think it will put her in danger?" Ethan shook his head. "I am sure you will not put her in that position, but why do you expose her?" He cared for Iris like a little sister and he was genuinely happy when they announced they were pregnant now, therefore, he didn’t wish anything bad befell on them.

Cane had thought about it carefully. After seeing this black rain, he knew the threat of Decratic was real. Whatever creature Decratic was, it was the creature, who had cost the life of the first Serafim and indirectly killed the lycan within him.

In the beginning, he didn’t think much about the relation between the first Serafim within Iris, the lycan that resided in him and the Decratic, Haco found his symbol in the Riverside pack, but after the encounter in the mountain with Cyan and Zeke, and learned they were able to control the royal warrior’s mind, the king’s mind, Cane started to think how serious this problem was.

The creature named Decratic, in his mind was an ancient creature, a gut- wrenching tragedy that could be called as myth, something that happened in the past, yet he couldn’t close his eyes anymore.

Even though, he was still in denial at first, since there were a lot of things that he needed to handle. His mind didn’t stop working and planning his next step even when he fell asleep. Most of the time, he felt agitated because things could go wrong and beat himself down to make things as perfect as it should be.

However, when this black rain started to pour down and the sun had not yet appeared for days, he knew it would be too late, if he kept denying the connection between the three of them.

In that case, he needed to get as much protection as possible for Iris, something that he realized couldn’t provide alone.

When you went into a battle, you needed to know your terrain and your enemy, while Cane couldn’t get the information he needed, unless it was from the Serafim herself. If things went well, the Holy Kingdom could provide the protection that Iris needed.

Not to mention there was still mystery about Iris’s birth and her power, whether she purified the dark magic, or she actually absorbed it, the latter would do no good for her...

"I have never thought about that..." Ethan’s jaw dropped when Cane explained everything to him calmly. He blinked his eyes in disbelieve because this was the first time the alpha explained everything in such detail to him, even when he could simply dismiss him and shut his mouth like usual. "I have never thought in that way..."

Cane did everything, risk himself for the sake of Iris’s safety. Things could backfire at him if the Serafim and the people from the Holy Kingdom learned about the lycan inside of him, yet he bet everything. There was nothing more important than the safety of his mate and their baby. He would do anything for them.

He would be doomed, if Iris had to go through the same thing like Leane. He had tasted the agony of losing his first mate and their firstborn, he wouldn’t go through something like that again with Iris and their baby.

"Red Claw pack is not safe. Their territory is located in an unfavorable place because the packs around them are supporters of the royal family, therefore, the only safe base for them is in the south. we should focus our attention here and defend the south first, before we can move further to take over the other pack with the help of the reinforcement that the Serafim had called."

That was why, Cane gave instruction to alpha Colter and Koda to make the Serafim wrote a letter, to inform the change of direction for the ships from the Holy Kingdom. They should dock their ships in the Crystal Moon pack, instead of the Winter Moon pack.

It was a good thing the south had their own harbor and the tunnel was ready now.

There was a heavy silence inside the tent and the pitter patter of rain could be heard very loud, filling the absence of the conversation between the alpha and his gamma, as latter tried to discern such information, while the former let him to get as many time as he needed to get a grip of the situation.

"I know it will come to this..." Ethan murmured to himself. "I really hope we can get a happy ending..."

Something that was very unlikely from their standpoint right now. War would bring the the most unpredictable situation, you could lose anyone...

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

Abby had just written a letter to the people in the ships to change their direction, she stared at the salamander in front of her. Her hand was shaking.

The five Holy Knights inside the room looked at each other, because they knew this salamander supposed to go extinct fifty years ago when the Serafim before Abby used them to defend the Holy Kingdom from the monster attack.

But, it appeared before their eyes now and what made them dumbfounded was the fact, this salamander belonged to the luna from the Howling Wolf pack, the same luna, who was rumored had a healing power, even though she was a runt. The same luna that they summoned to meet with the Serafim weeks ago.

Abby tied the letter around the salamander’s body and then put the creature inside the fireplace, where the flame turned into red color and a second later, the salamander disappeared.

Abby felt defeated, she was the Serafim, but it was someone else, who found the extinct creature from the Andelus continent.

"Serafim, are you alright?" Liam approached Abby, he looked very worried, but Cedric came forward and helped her to sit down, he gave Liam a warning look, because he made things very obvious between the two of them right now and it wouldn’t do any good.

"Call Koda. I want to talk with him." Abby waved her hand to dismiss all of them. "I want you to leave too, Liam," she said when Liam didn’t budge from his position and it was Cedric, who dragged him out of the room.

It didn’t take long before Koda came and the two of them sat down across from each other.

"Are you sure the salamander belongs to luna Iris?" Abby asked, she clasped both of her hands tightly to prevent herself from having a mental breakdown.

How could a runt from the shifter continent had the power to revive the extinct creature? How she could do it?

Abby always had this insecurity about her power, she was well aware of the rumor that said she was the weakest Serafim in history. She knew her power couldn’t be compared to her predecessor.

But, it was because they lost the map to the location of the five swords. These five swords were very important for the Serafim, because they had to visit the place frequently to purify any dark influences from them and the map had gone for five decades right now, at the same time when the attack from the monster that caused the extinction of the fire salamander, occurred.

That was why, the next generation of Serafim’s power declined greatly, which what happened to Abby right now, since she had never stepped a foot inside the Great Shrine, where the five swords were located.

"Yes, I have seen the salamander with luna Iris a few times. She has the creature for long time, I guess, but I am not sure," Koda replied, he looked curious with the reaction that the Serafim gave to him and all the people from the Holy kingdom.

Later he learned it was because the salamander supposed to be the creature that exclusively belonged to the Serafim.

"May I know what is the matter?" Koda asked carefully. He didn’t want to make his curiosity became very obvious.

"I want to know when luna Iris will come here." Abby really wanted to see that woman. She wanted to confirm what kind of woman she was to hold such power. Who was she?

"Just like what we knew, the situation in the south border is not good." Koda then proceeded to tell Abby the detail of the situation there.

"If she can’t come here, I will be the one, who comes to the south," Abby said impulsively.
