The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (20)

At first, Zale was having a hard time to breath and Zephyr was the first person, who noticed that. It was easy to say when the boy used to be very energetic and snarky, but right now he looked like a headless chicken.

"Come, you need to see the Serafim." Zephyr dragged the young boy to see Abby. He had been sleeping for half a day and didn’t come to the dinning hall for breakfast.

Because of the newly revelation about the black rain and under the Serafim’s instruction, all the training was stopped and as much as possible, they couldn’t expose themselves under the rain. People expected to be inside their house when it was rain.

However, there was another issue that followed, such as food. The winter had not yet come, but the famine and drought had already happened for months, added to this strange weather and the illness because of the rain, it was a recipe for disaster.

The ships from the Karam continent wouldn’t be here until next months and thankfully, they could hide the fact the four merchants were already dead and kept the news from spreading out was not that difficult when there were so many things that was going on. They would deal with that issue later.

"No. I want to wait for the luna to come, she will be able to heal me faster than the Serafim." Zale tried to struggle and ask Zephyr to put him down, but the warrior carried him with one hand around his waist, rendering him unable to fight back. He didn’t have the strength to do so after all. "She healed Joel, I want her to heal me too!"

Zephyr suddenly stopped walking, his body stiffened. "Shut up," he hissed fiercely at the body in his arm.

Zale frowned and when he followed Zephyr’s line of sight, he saw the Serafim, but he didn’t feel any guilt at all. He stared at her defiantly.

"That’s very disrespectful thing to say, don’t you think, warrior Zephyr?" Liam asked darkly. He could see how Abby’s expression turned ashen when she heard what Zale had been protesting.

During her time when she locked herself inside the bedroom and refused to meet with Iris, she had been indulging the thought of how the luna of a pack could be more powerful than her. Abby didn’t want to admit it, but what Iris had was divine power, the power that should only belong to Serafim, but she had it.

And what made things even worse for Abby was the fact, Iris’s power was way purer than hers. How could that possible to happen? She avoided to meet with Iris, because she didn’t want to look into it more deeply and accepted the undeniable truth that she was more powerful than her.

If she had to face it, it felt like a final statement for Abby that she was a failure of a Serafim and maybe there was an error when they recognized her as one, that was why, she was not as strong as the previous Serafim. Albeit people in the Holy Kingdom used to say it was because she couldn’t visit the five swords in the Great Shrine to purify herself, which caused the decline of her power.

"I apologize on his behalf, I hope you don’t take it to heart. He is only a dumb young boy." Zephyr pinched Zale’s stomach, forced him to apologize, but this brat looked for his own death.

"Ouch! What are you doing?! You are hurting me!" Zale exclaimed, which rewarded him a fierce glare from Zephyr, but he didn’t care. "No. I don’t want to be treated by her. I want to wait for my luna!"

Abby knew, this was not the right thing to do and as a Serafim, a symbol of peace and virtue, she shouldn’t act like this, but she was someone with feeling too and she had been very insecure with what Iris could do.

"If he doesn’t want me to treat him, you don’t need to force him." Abby nodded politely to Zephyr and then turned around to leave. "Let’s go, Liam." She wanted to see how long that boy would be able to endure the pain until he gave up and begged for her help.

Abby felt bad to hold a grudge against a young boy because he preferred someone else.

"You are going to kill yourself, boy." Zephyr clicked his tongue, he glared at Zale. "This is why the alpha is not allowing you to be close with the luna, because you will only bring trouble for her."

"How can I bring trouble for him?" Zale grumbled, but he realized how wrong his action was.

"The alpha taught you one thing about how to control your impulsiveness and think how to get what you needed, but you didn’t learn anything, did you?"

"The alpha didn’t teach me anything, he only gave me a rock to be sold to the merchant. How am I supposed to do that?" Zale complained.

"That’s how the alpha told you to use your head, boy! Same like what happened earlier, you should use your head first before you spoke."

"I only say the truth. I don’t want to be treated by her. I want the luna, because she is the best!"

"And how you will meet with the luna if you died first?!" Zephyr was frustrated and Zale pursed his lips, upset. He flicked his forehead. "Pray the luna will be here before you died, or else, thanks your stupidity you will never see her again."

Zephyr then brought him back to his bedroom, where Zale spent his time in agony, waiting for Iris to come. Being stubborn, enduring the pain...
