The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460: A TRAP (2)

Iris could feel a lot of black magic stones once they entered the mountain area, the deeper they went inside, the stronger the feeling was. It was almost suffocating.

At first, she thought Haco did something, since he spent some time in the mountain, though Iris was not sure what he was doing here, but then the amount of the black magic stones was too much. There was no way Cane would give access to that many magic stones to that sorcerer.

"How many?" Cane asked, his voice was stern, but his expression was devoid of any emotions.

Meanwhile, the King and Lady Cyan rode ahead of them, they were talking to each other, as the King complained about a lot of things and the mistress listened to all that rubbish.

"Thirty... forty... I am not sure." Iris furrowed her brows deeply, feeling a little bit agitated with this ominous feeling.

Cane nodded, but he didn’t say anything. He fell quiet, something that he would resort to whenever he was deep in thought, even the air around him became so reserved.

"How strong are the black magic stones? Can you tell?" If they were really black magic stones, Iris should be able to handle them, as long as they were not very deadly, like the ones Haco had created the last time.

"I am not sure..." Iris replied honestly, aside from those magic stones that Haco had created for her to practice on, she had never touched a black magic stone created by any other sorcerers. She didn’t even know how many she could handle.

Iris took a mental note to ask Haco to teach her more about the power she had. She didn’t have time to ask about that because the sorcerer had been pretty busy nowadays and so was she, especially with the matter of the members of this pack and the lycan. Those things drained her energy.

"I don’t think those stones are that deadly, but there are so many of them..." Iris explained, she could only say that much using her own ability.

"Okay." Cane nodded and became very silent again.

Meanwhile, Alpha Dristan frowned at the conversation between them. He couldn’t hear anything, as the two of them spoke in particularly low voices, they were literally reading each other’s lips, something that he couldn’t pick up.

This large group went deeper into the forest and Iris was right when she said they were going straight to where she could feel those black magic stones.

"My King, why don’t we take a rest for a while here?" Cane suggested when they crossed a brook. They were in a clearing, where there were not many trees.

The King stopped his horse and then gave his attention to Cane, after ignoring him the whole time because of his tardiness.

"Why don’t we take a rest for a while, My King? Luna Iris looks unwell, if something really happens to her, Alpha Cane will be distraught." Lady Cyan smiled to calm the King. _{freewebnøvel.com}

"Did you bring it with you?" Cane asked Iris when he helped her to get off the horse, as the King begrudgingly granted them a break of ten minutes.

"Yes." Iris patted her pocket, where she could feel her lizard squirm inside.

It was not a wise choice, but Cane needed all the reassurance to keep his mate protected, more so, this little creature was docile enough once you fed it.

"And the other?" Cane asked and Iris patted her left hip, where her silver dagger rested. "Good job," Cane said, leaning over to kiss her lips before he pulled Iris to sit on a big rock.

But, they barely had time for themselves when Alpha Dristan came with his new mistress, looking all distressed. "I have sent someone to ask for help, but I am not sure if he managed to get out of this mountain, there are a lot of royal warriors, who could stop him on the way."

Cane was aware of that, but he was sure, Avid could find a way, he was familiar with the terrain in the mountain. Meanwhile, Eron and Dyne hovered close to them, ready to take Iris away if things went south.

"But, the last mindlink I received from my warrior is suspicious. , he said, he saw your men marching toward the mountain, did you manage to call them? Did you know this beforehand?"

"My people?" Cane frowned, his expression became rigid. Something was completely wrong. It was too quick for Avid to get out of the mountain and charge back with the Howling Wolf pack’s warriors.
