The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 889: THE SECOND DAUGHTER

Chapter 889: THE SECOND DAUGHTER

The second daughter of Elder Rose was only two years younger than Gabriel and because only a handful of people, who knew about her existence, thus when Rei didn’t return the second baby, no one made a fuss. There was no rumor about it as well, everyone involved, sealed their mouth and said nothing about this matter.

And for Elder Rose, it seemed, what happened to her second baby left a huge trauma on her, since she couldn’t confide this matter to anyone and she had to swallow her bitterness and grievances of losing her baby alone, especially when this baby was conceived out of love, not duty.

A mother, who lost their baby would understand what kind of hell that Elder Rose had to go through alone, therefore when she was being pregnant again in her not so young age, she detached herself from the baby instinctively, afraid the same thing happened again.

But, after one year, Rei returned the baby and said she was the next Serafim. That was it. There was no answer for whereabout of her second daughter or what happened to her.

"I didn’t know much. That’s the only information that I can read in her record." Of course, the third baby was Abby. Rei returned Abby to Elder Rose, but the latter had detached herself, so much so, she didn’t even think Abby as her daughter.

"What the relationship between Rei and Elder Dandolf?" Cane finally opened his mouth and asked about the thing that kept bothering him.

Abby was thinking about it for a while. "Elder Dandolf and Elder Rania are part of pure faction."

It did make sense now about why Elder Dandolf communicated with Rei. "Do you know Rei is on his way here?"

"What? Rei? No way. The last time I learned about him, he was badly injured because of something a few months ago and he did ’the ritual’." Abby felt uncomfortable to disclose this information, after all, Rei’s health was not something you could discuss with anyone, especially about the ritual.

Just because Abby was the Serafim, she had the privilege to access such knowledge.

"No. He will arrive within this week. If things went smoothly for him, he would be here in two to three days." Lou was the one, who told her that.

"No way." Abby frowned, from her reaction, it was clear that she didn’t like this Rei man as well. "What he is doing here?" Abby was clueless, but Cane and Lou had a few ideas about the reason why Rei came.

Lou glanced at Cane and got the gist how the alpha wanted to play this out. "That’s the same question we want to ask you." He feigned ignorance. "Why did he come here? Will he help with Decratic?"

Abby gave some thought about it. "I guess so." She bit her lip nervously. "He must have received the map to the Great Shrine and had learned about your existence." Abby looked at Iris. "I don’t think this is surprising. He must have learned about the first Serafim’s life essence within you, after all, you said it yourself that you met him before and because his intention is always to dedicate his life to the first Serafim, it’s only right if he came here to protect you when we fight Decratic."

That logic made sense, but Cane and Lou knew more than that. Rei’s motive to come here was deeper than that.

After talking about a few things more, Abby’s only demand was to keep her baby and her two protectors safe and after some discussion, their only solution right now was; for them to leave Holy Kingdom and never return to Andelus continent.

"Let’s think about more solution for this," Iris said. "I am sure, we will figure out something better later on."

And with that, Abby was about to leave the tent, but she stopped at the exit and turned around to face Iris. "What are you going to do with the protection around Winter Moon pack? Will you take it down?"

The reason Abby was here, was to convince Iris to take down the protection shield, therefore, Abby needed an answer for this.

However, it was Cane, who answered that. "Tell them to gather around the protection shield in two days."

Iris and Lou looked at Cane with a questioning look, but because Abby was still here, they didn’t ask him anything.

Abby frowned, but then nodded. "Okay. I will tell them about it." She needed to tell Elder Rose and Elder Xarex too about the arrival of Rei.

Yet, Cane stopped her. "Don’t say anything about Rei’s arrival."

"Why?"

"Just do as you have been told," Lou chimed in. He didn’t like this woman and he wouldn’t sugarcoat his word to someone he didn’t like.

Abby threw him a dagger look before she nodded and then left the tent.

"Why she couldn’t tell the elders about Rei? It seems, aside from Elder Dandolf, no one else knew about his arrival." Lou barraged Cane with question. "And what are you going to do with the protection shield? Are you going to make Iris to take it down? As her protector I objected that. You have made her pregnant, at the very least, you need to think of her first."

"I think because if the Elders learned about Rei’s arrival, they will question us about how we knew about it and Elder Dandolf will be alerted that we knew too much." Iris tilted her head at her mate. "Is that right? How do you know about his arrival?"

Cane smiled at his mate and kissed her cheek, making the corner of Lou’s mouth twitched. "Brilliant," he said gently.

"Can you stop with that? I am still here."

The alpha ignored Lou’s rambles, as he used black wisp to fish out a letter from his pocket and put it on the table in front of Iris.

"We interfered with the letter between Rei and Elder Dandolf."

"I was the one, who interfered the letter." Lou corrected Cane, he then sat down next to Iris. "You can’t just touch it, this letter laces with black magic, come, I will open it for you." Yet, Iris already touched it and Lou was about to freak out because she touched it with barehand. "What are you doing?! You can hurt yourself!"

But, Iris stared at him innocently, while opening the letter casually. "What is it?"

Lou stared at her hand. She was fine. There was no burning scar or anything and if he observed it closely, he would be able to tell that the black magic had been purified.

"Stupid me," Lou grumbled. He was worried for nothing. It seemed, he was the only one, who struggled to open the letter.

While Cane could neutralize the black magic by using the black wisp, Iris could purify it completely by only touching it and Lou, he had to exhaust himself only to read it.

Iris opened the letter and the crease between her brows deepened. She clenched her jaws tightly and when she was done reading it, she looked at Cane and Lou. "What is this? Is he really going to do this? What should we do now?"
