The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 888

Chapter 888: THE DARK SIDE OF REI

Iris remembered Abby’s reaction when she asked about Rei the first time, she looked terrified, as if there was a big, dangerous secret there, but what she told them just now it felt so shallow. Yes, that was also a big secret to know about the dark magic within the Holy Kingdom, but then it was not something crucial.

If that was the only secret, then Abby’s reaction at that time didn’t make any sense. She looked horrified and didn’t want to talk about it at all. It was not just a secret.

"You are trying to hide something. That’s not the secret." Iris stared at Abby closely. "You always give us a piece of information and then another piece when you are being cornered and then another piece. We don’t want your crumbs of information. You are here to ask for our help, but if you don’t even trust us, you better leave." Iris reminded her about her intention to come here in the first place and why they were having this conversation.

Lou stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes at Abby, he looked annoyed and Cane was still quiet, the alpha watched how everything unfolded and silently created his own place for this matter.

"I am not." Abby didn’t look convincing when she denied it, even she could hear it herself.

Iris didn’t talk anymore and stood up. "I am tired. I thank you for your information and let see what we can do to help you."

And that was it, Iris didn’t even try to persuade Abby anymore, she simply stood up and was about to enter the other room that was parted by a curtain inside this tent, but all of sudden Abby stood up too and she looked like she was being torn.

"I told you that Rei is a Holy Spirit. People in the Holy Kingdom, who knew about him thinking like that. They look up to him and respect him so much because he was the first Serafim’s protector, but..." Abby bit her lip, she picked on her fingers again. This was very hard for her to reveal this.

Iris turned around, she waited for what Abby was going to say.

"Can you stop wasting our time and start talking? You are really annoying," Lou scoffed. "If you asked a big favor, at least, gave the same value to us."

Meanwhile, Cane was still quiet, but he saw the way Abby picked on her fingers and how they started bleeding.

"There is a ritual." Abby was shaking. "Rei always has this ritual with the Serafim."

"What ritual?" Lou narrowed his eyes and bent his body forward, interested to know more about this person. He needed to know his opponent, especially when this person wanted to take his woman away. Well, he was her protector, right? It was only right for him if he got her out of harm way.

"It is black magic... something that you have never heard before." Abby was visibly trembling now and Iris came to her and let her sit down.

"What is it with the ritual?" Iris asked, she sat down next to her.

Abby took her time to gather her courage to let outsider knew about this. She caressed her stomach unconsciously and Iris saw that gesture. She felt sorry for Abby and everything that she had to go through.
