The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (13)

Redmond knew that Dark Magic could do the unthinkable, but to revive someone that supposed to be dead... wasn’t that against all the nature?! How was that even possible?!

"How?! You are supposed to die!"

Redmond was sure Aria was dead. Everyone saw her, everyone witnessed it when she was being hanged. There was no trick. She was dead. Thousand of people confirmed that.

But, right now, she was very much alive, aside from her red eyes, there was nothing much that change from her.

Redmond still disliked this woman, dead or not.

"I can see how happy you are to see me," Aria said, as she sat down on the sofa in front of Redmond casually, her movement was very smooth.

"Worms must have eaten your brain if you see me happy to meet you." Redmond knew how to piss someone off, dead or not.

"Sit down." Aria nodded at the chair across from her, acting as if she was the person in charge here, but she couldn’t do that to Redmond. The man would choose to stand on fire rather than did what she told him to do. "Since, we are on the same side now, shouldn’t we be civil with each other?" Aria suggested. She clicked her tongue to see the stubbornness in Redmond.

"I don’t want to be close to a ghost, people said, they can eat your spirit."

Aria squinted her eyes and let it go, as she continued to speak. "So, we will meet with Cane in the Black Market? Why don’t we discuss about it?"

"We?" Redmond narrowed his eyes. He didn’t like the sound of it and was still weirded out to see this woman was actually alive.

Heaven! Couldn’t she die for real? Like dead dead?

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

The first thing that worried Iris the most was her baby. She was not sure how long she had lost her consciousness, but she remembered what the caused of it and the memory of her encounter with Decratic etched clearly in her mind.

However, Aliana reassured her that she and the baby were fine, Penny also came to check on her and say the same thing.

Only then, Iris drifted her attention to the woman with red hair before her eyes. She had seen her and the Holy Knights, but because her focus was on her baby, until she got the assurance both of them were fine, she was not going to put her focus on someone or something else.

The tension between the warriors and the knights were slightly subsided and after some pleasantries and a brief introduction, Abby asked alone time with Iris.

"I don’t think it’s a good idea, Serafim," Aliana said. "You just arrived from a long journey and you must be tired, our luna too, need some rest."

"It’s okay, Aliana," Iris said. She touched her arm and could feel her worry for her, which she gratefully appreciated.

However, just like Abby, there were a few things that she needed to talk alone, only the two of them.

In the end, after some back and forth, all of them had to leave the two women alone, since they were the one, who called the shot, no matter how they were being outnumbered by their worried protectors.

"They can be a little bit fussy, don’t you think?" Abby said gently, as she sat down on the bed, beside Iris.

"I agreed." Iris was still surprised to see the Serafim, but somehow, she felt familiar with her, as if they were not a stranger. There was some connection between them that the two of them couldn’t explain... yet.

"Are you sure, you are fine to have this conversation?" Abby didn’t dare to touch Iris, she was still reeling on what happened earlier.

"I am fine." Iris’s concern was on her baby and when she got the assurance that she needed, where her baby was fine, she wanted to have this conversation with Abby.

"Okay." Abby then pulled out something from inside her white robe and then placed it close to Iris’s hand. It was the lizard. The creature was currently sleeping, but when Iris touched it, it perked it head and then snuggled against her palms. "I think the salamander belongs to you, so I need to give it back to you."

"Thank you." Iris smiled.

Salamander... the man in the Black Market said the lizard was the Salamander, one of the Serafim’s mythical creatures and now, the Serafim confirmed that.

"Serafim..."

"Abby, please. Just call me Abby."

"Abby." Cane’s straightforward personality must have rubbed on Iris, because just like her mate, she didn’t talk in roundabout manner, as she addressed the main issue in this room. "Earlier, I absorbed your power, didn’t I?"

Absorbed her power.

That was what Iris really did earlier when Abby touched her. She felt her power was being sucked out of her body and... she could tell?

Abby’s silence confirmed that.

"Do you have some explanation why it happened?" Iris asked, she was unconscious, but her subconsciousness could tell what happened, the feeling was similar when she used her power. The feeling when she realized she had Na’s life essence inside her body.
