The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter-Chapter 942: THE LAST BATTLE (8)

Cane could tell there was something more when it came to Rei. This man full of bullshit and mystery, which unfortunately, it was hard to discover.

"You need to stop this," Rei said. He looked fine now, even though a few second ago he was greatly wounded by Cane. His healing ability was insane. "I am not your enemy. I am here to help you to destroy Decratic. If you kept attacking me, do you think you can do it without me? Look around and you will know."

This time, Rei talked to Cane. He hated the sight of how he put his hand around Iris’s waist. He wanted to cut his hand off. But, he couldn’t do it now. There would be the right time to do so.

"You are still very much alive. Stop whining and tell me what is your plan," Cane replied, he didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy. He acted like what he had done was no more than a slap on the wrist.

Rei looked very upset, but he masked it very well. If that was how Cane wanted to act, he would follow suit.

Right at that time, something white rushed toward them, Rei would have knocked to the side if he didn’t dodge it in time and this big fur ball made a bee line toward Iris.

"Lil Thing!" Iris was happy to see this lazy bear. It seemed, it had gone through rough fight against the monster. It would have covered in blood and dust if it was not for the rain that kept pouring down.

Iris was grateful Lil Thing was alright. She hugged it, while the bear nuzzled her face, wiggling its little, almost non existence, tail.

"We will enter their second fortress," Rei said to get the attention back to him, since from the look of it, no one paid him any mind when this white bear came. "You will not be able to enter the second fortress without my help."

Seeing their current situation, Rei was right. They needed him for his power. They wouldn’t be able to go through these monsters without his power to turn the monster on his side. He controlled them by using illusion.

Meanwhile, if Cane wanted to use the same method, he would need Iris to purify them from dark magic first before he used Lu’s ability to control the monster. But the step where Iris had to purify so many monsters under the black magic that Cane didn’t want to take.

It was already a miracle that their babies were still fine even after everything that Iris went through, probably because the fact their babies were shifter this time, thus they were rather stronger, even when they were still in their mother’s womb.

"You took us to their mines earlier, why can’t you do the same thing now?" Iris glared at him when she asked this question.

Rei shook his head. "You injured me, Na. Remember? I can take you and I through the second fortress, but without any forces, it will only be a suicide move." More so, Rei used his power for something else.

"I am not Na."

Yet, Rei didn’t listen to that. He turned deaf ear whenever Iris corrected him.

"Come, we will go through the second fortress and see what behind it. The monsters under my control will breakthrough soon, I am sure Decratic is behind the second fortress." Rei waved his hand and a dragon landed beside him.

The presence of this gargantuan creature shook the ground and Iris almost lost her balance if it was not for Cane, who steadied her.

"Come with me. I will take you there," Rei said, once again stretched out his hand for Iris.

Cane looked at his gamma. "Take Aliana to the south, you will meet with the other there."

Thankfully, Lil Thing was there, so this white bear could help with Aliana and Ethan. But, it came for Iris, only to be away from her again.

Ethan shifted back into his human form. "Come on, Lil Thing, help me."

Lil Thing whimpered. It nuzzled Iris’s stomach and after a few scratches behind its ear, it went away to follow Ethan.

Rei narrowed his eyes at this creature. He didn’t notice it before, but now he was interested in Lil Thing. "Come with me, Na." Rei shifted his attention back to iris, asking her to take the dragon with him.

However, Iris had different idea, so did Cane.

The alpha shifted into his black beast and Iris naturally climbed on his back, sitting down comfortable, while holding onto its soft fur. She looked like an expert when it came to this.

"You really wanted to make things difficult," Rei said under his breath, as he watched how the black beast dashed forward, using its black wisp to clear the way.

It wouldn’t be too hard for Cane to reach the second fortress if he only needed to dodge the monsters, but the black wisp was needed in order for him not to make a sudden movement to avoid the monster and risked Iris from falling off its back.

It was not as efficient as riding on the dragon’s back, but neither Cane nor Iris wanted to have any interaction with Rei. It would be very stupid of them if they trusted this man, even though they were fighting the same cause.

Above them, the dragon cleared the way, by breathing fire at the monsters in front of the black beast, made it easier for them to go through.

Meanwhile, the pure faction and the monsters under Rei’s control brought up the rear, charged forward toward the second fortress.

Aside from the black beast, you couldn’t see any shifter in sight. All the warriors had retreated and as per Cane’s instruction, they had to stay away from this until further notice.

On the black beast’s back, Iris noticed something moving behind her and when she tilted her head to see what was that, she saw her lizard. It seemed, this lizard had been with Cane and they didn’t notice it.

Iris remembered that the previous Serafim used this lizard during a war against monster too, more than fifty years ago, thus its presence right now would be help them.

Iris reached her lizard and kept it saved under her cloak.

Soon after they could see the second fortress and by using the Nefilim that stood close by to propel itself up, the black beast used the dragon as its second stepping stone to jump over the high wall.

Rei hissed in annoyance to see this.

Meanwhile, Iris was fine. She glanced at Rei on the dragon’s back and her lips lilt into a mocking smile, because she knew what Rei must be thinking right now.

Not so long, they could hear the loud crashing sound, as the monsters under Rei’s control fought against the other monsters, they stood by the fortress, while the magic users and knights entered the second fortress.

These monsters became a canon fodder to hold back those monsters that kept appearing from the huge crack on the ground. But behind the second fortress, there was something more that had been waiting for them.

Alpha Dex and the warriors from the Red Claws pack, along with a few black magic users were there to greet them and also Dexter.

Dexter led his own black magic users with him. His eyes fixed on the dragon and suddenly this magnificent creature writhed in pain and crashed to the ground, thrown Rei away.

"How dare you to take my dragon?" Dexter said menacingly. He looked scarier than the last time they met. It seemed, all the hatred and black magic he had within him combusted and he was nothing, but the epitome of the devil.

Dexter waved his hand and the dragon was free from the illusion, as it turned around to attack Rei.

However, by this time, Rei had stood up and he was ready for this. He raised his hand and clenched his fists.

At the same time, the dragon burst, as countless spiderlings emerged from its body.

"This creature is not bad," Rei said under his breath to see the look of shock on Dexter’s face, which later turned into rage because the last dragon had been destroyed.

The black beast moved back to avoid the spiderlings that crawled on the ground. This creature was very small, only as big as your thumb, but there were thousand, if it was not million of them, as if the dragon’s flesh had turned into it.

Iris grimaced, she felt like she wanted to vomit. She was not afraid of spider, but after all of this, she was sure, she would develop this fear. She felt like they were crawling on her skin.

Meanwhile, the lizard jumped down from the black beast’s back and breathed fire on these little disgusting things, burned them all. But, of course, it was not enough.

Iris immediately snapped from her repulsion and created shield of protection around them, so the spiderlings couldn’t come nearby.

They would be dead once they touched her shield, since they were filled with black magic.

The rain slowly stopped and iris got off the black beast’s back, as her lizard went back toward her. She cradled the creature, while Cane shifted back into his human form.

"Are you, okay?" Cane asked. Concern dripped in his voice when he caressed her cheek. His mate drenched from head to toe and he was worried about her condition.

"Yes, I am fine." Iris caressed her stomach. She could feel the babies were moving actively and one of the little lights nipped on Cane’s ear, while the other moved around. They looked more than fine.

If anything, Iris was grateful that they were shifter, since she heard shifters were stronger, even when they were fetus.

Cane gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to take her here and exposed her to danger, but at the same time, Iris was the main point to end this craziness. They were not be able to do it without her.

"Stay close with me, okay?"

Iris nodded. She clasped her hand with his. "I will. I will always be close to you. Together, we will see the end of this."

Iris felt better. She was scared, but she knew she would be able to go through this if Cane was with her.

On the other hand, Rei created a chaos within Dexter’s rank when the spiderlings started to drill into their bodies, in which Dexter tried to prevent it.

It didn’t take long before the fight started. This was not the fight that you had ever experience before, because both Dexter and Rei were strong magic users, while their followers fought against each other.

Alpha Dex found his way to Cane, while his warriors fought the knights.

"I see you rely heavily on the people from the Holy Kingdom," alpha Dex taunted. "What happened with you? I have never imagined that you will one day succumb into their hand. Are you trying to relive your slavery day?"

Cane stared at alpha Dex, but he actually looked past him. He tried to find a way to go through this commotion and went straight to find Decratic.

"Come with us and join us. You know that you will not be able to win this war." Alpha Dex tilted his head. "I see there is no warrior with you. Where is your force?"

Cane narrowed his eyes, he found it an opening.

"Noisy." Cane used the black wisp to slash alpha Dex’s face and then shifted into his black beast.

Out of instinct, Iris immediately climbed on its back and together they penetrated the crowd. The black beast moved swiftly among the beasts, the knights and the magic users.

Seeing this, Dexter followed the black beast too, his main target was Cane, because of what he did to Aria. He would kill this alpha!
