The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639: CAPITAL CITY (2)

The capital city was a trade center and a place that was always busy and lively, filled with many people of various statuses and powerful backgrounds.

Where all the centers of activity on this continent mostly take place here, but right now this place was not much different from the Silver River pack, where famine occurs and rubbish piles up in the corners of the alleys, some shops that were usually busy have closed and there were not many people on the streets, where you can see bloodstains, which Cane assumes were the remains of people attacked by monsters.

The change in this place was very significant, it was baffling.

"They were not wrong when they accused you of the failure with the magical device. You failed indeed." Cane touched the stain of blood on the wall and was sure this blood came from goblin. He could differentiate it.

Black rain apparently poured down this area as well, but right now, the rain had stopped, yet the sky was still pitch black. Without the sunlight, it was very depressing to say the least. They didn’t know how long this phenomenon would stop, or whether someone was behind all of this.

But, Cane’s instinct inclined to the latter.

"I should have sent letter to the Howling Wolf pack about it." The same magical device was built in his pack and the tunnel was protected with the same magical device too.

However, Lou couldn’t accept that. "There is no way I failed!" he was hissing viciously. "There must be something wrong with the way they handled the magical device that I created!" he gritted his teeth.

Cane only glanced at him and continued walking toward the orphanage, which made the merchant annoyed even more.

"I am serious! We need to go to the great wall to make sure of that!" Lou was upset to himself because he was trying so hard to make Cane changed the way he was thinking of his work. Why would he care about what he was thinking!? This was annoying beyond words!

Why would he need to prove himself in front of him?!

"Hey! I am serious!"

"Be quiet, you are going to wake everyone." Cane gave Lou a warning glance, which made the merchant even more enraged, but he could only bite his tongue.

"Don’t you think this is weird there is no royal warriors whatsoever in this area?" Lou finally spoke after a long silence. He couldn’t stand this awkwardness, while Cane didn’t seem to bother at all.

Cane had noticed it the moment he walked in the main street. This place had been attacked by monster frequently, the letters that Joyce sent to Iris only grazed the surface of the situation here. In this case, the royal warriors and guards supposed to be stationed in every nook and cranny of this place, but after a few minutes of walking, he couldn’t find any of them.

The people inside the Capital City couldn’t go out, because when they tried, they would be killed, but inside the city, they were being attacked by the monsters too.

It was still a mystery why these monsters could be inside the city gates.

Cane didn’t doubt Lou’s ability and his magical device, because he was certain all of this absurdity happened because of what lady Cyan and her father had planned, but what the end goal of ruining the city? _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Now, being here and witnessed the situation with his own eyes, Cane could get the full picture of it. This alerted him even more.

"Hey, can’t you speak out your mind?" Lou was frustrated. He knew there were a lot of things that swirled in this alpha’s mind, but he didn’t let out a peep. "Share what you are thinking! Ugh! I can’t imagine how Iris is be able to stay with someone like you."

A glare from Cane was enough to shut him up, as they walked the rest of their walk in silence toward the orphanage.

Both of them were wearing hoodie that covered their faces, just in case someone would recognize them and it took a stern talk from Cane to make Lou dropped his tacky red cloak. What the point of covering their faces when he was wearing that crazily bright color?

Once they arrived in the orphanage, Cane narrowed his eyes. He almost did not recognize this building anymore.

"Are you sure the children are still alive?" Lou frowned to see the two buildings that supposed to be the place for the orphan children. The main building looked empty, there was no light at all, while the second building, which supposed to be the new building under the construction before Cane left, was abandoned. The construction on it had not yet done before it stopped.

Cane said nothing and pushed opened the rusty gates, which there was stain of blood there. It seemed the orphanage had been under attack by monster as well and whoever put the spell to protect this place had failed.

Cane gritted his teeth, as he walked into the main building. He sniffed the air and the putrid smell hit his senses, burned his throat. It was not a good sign.

He knew something horrendous might have happened here.

"Are you really going to go inside that building?" Lou frowned very hard. He didn’t want to go inside at all, but at this point, it was already too late for him, since he had this urge to stay close with this alpha. To be honest, the vibe this place had, gave him chill down his spine.

He was ready to get them out of here.

"Look for the children," Cane said, as if he was giving an order to Ethan or Dean.

"What? Why should I?!" Lou was enraged.
