The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655: HAND OVER THE LUNA!

Sofia saw the commotion outside and knew it was the cue for her to leave. Someone had told her something like this would happen and she needed to prepare herself and the baby.

Rye. Redmond was adamant with that name before he left and Sofia actually loved the name too, but she fussed over it a little bit, didn’t want to admit that.

And now the baby was staring at her with curiosity in his eyes, which took after Redmond. Maybe it was only her petty side, but she was a little bit annoyed because the baby took after Redmond so much, as if to declare and shred the last bit of hope for him to be another man’s baby.

’I carried you for nine months, but you come out look exactly like your father.’

That was the best Sofia could complain about her baby, but everything else was perfect. He was a bundle of joy for her.

Unless he was hungry and needed to be cleaned, he wouldn’t be fussy.

Sofia knew Redmond went out for a mission from alpha Cane, a mission related to alpha Gallot and the fraud he did against alpha Cane about the baby, but not only that, the situation in this pack couldn’t be said as safe. She didn’t know the detail, but she knew the upcoming battle against the royal and it happened now.

Someone knocked on the door in the middle of her preparation.

"W- who is that?" Sofia immediately took Rye from his crib and held him tightly, her instinct sharpened, as she tried to sniff the air, just in case this was not someone from Cane’s pack.

"This is me, Joel." Joel knocked on the door again and Sofia recognized his voice and scent. She was too preoccupied earlier and didn’t realize him sooner. "Open the door, we need to leave now."

Sofia immediately opened the door and saw the young warrior, he looked taller than the last time he came here to warn her about what might happen.

Joel was not alone, he came with another young warrior from Riverside pack. They looked like the same age, but Joel was taller than him.

"Are you ready? Don’t bring unnecessary thing," Joel said. He disliked Sofia for what she had put Iris through, but then he was commanded to escort her to the safety, more so, he respected Redmond enough to not show any hatred and hostility toward this woman and the innocent baby.

Joel learned that it was Redmond himself, who had killed Lyle, his second in command during the battle in the Howling Wolf pack and how he stood up and fought against his own pack member, his own warriors, who turned against him.

"I need to bring that bag." Sofia pointed a bag that laid on the floor, which she was just done prepared before Joel knocked on the door.

"Finn, take that bag and let’s go." Joel shifted into his beast form and led the way, while the other young warrior stayed in his human form.

"Do you want me to carry the baby, so you can move faster?" Finn asked Sofia politely.

"No, it’s fine. I will carry him." Sofia thanked him for his nice gesture, but she would be more at ease if she held Rye close to her.

Finn nodded and they continued moving toward the safety.

Aside from the Luna’s warriors, Cane had created smaller groups of warriors to escort some people if things escalated this far.

Two people would escort Sofia to the safety, because Cane had promised Redmond about his woman and his child’s safety. Even though Joel and Finn were young, but the two of them were the best warriors in their age and often times, their enemy would lower their guards down, thinking about an inexperience young shifter like him.

Meanwhile, Arthur, Mal and another three warriors would escort Haco, Celia, Zale and the other four orphan children.

"Where is that young boy?" Arthur asked. He counted the children, but he missed one more.

"Zale went to see luna Iris. He must be with them," Joyce replied. She saw him brought a bucket of flower, something that he used to do.

"Okay, let’s go," Arthur said. If Zale was with the luna then he must be fine, because the luna was protected by the best warriors.

One of the warriors helped Haco to stand up, but the old sorcerer couldn’t even walk.

"He is very sick. You need to carry him," Celia informed the warrior sadly. She was very sad to see Haco like this. It almost felt like he died before her eyes, but the process was very slow and painful.

The warrior bent his body and and carried Haco on his back. This old sorcerer was very skinny now, he weighed nothing.

"Come, I will carry the baby," Arthur stretched out his hand to ask the baby from Joyce’s arms and the little girl handed him over. "We need to move now."

Mal and the other two warriors shifted into their beasts and led the way, as the children followed them and Arthur and one more warrior brought the rear.

Meanwhile, there was the last small group that Cane had created to help Lou escaped if things went south, since the merchant was not in good shape. It would be a lost for Cane if Lou died, when he was still useful.

Clad and Leros looked for Lou, but they couldn’t find him in his bedroom, but they found a strange pool of black blood on the floor.

"What is this?" Clad frowned, as he touched the blood. It smelled like one, but it didn’t look like it. It was thicker than normal blood...

Miles away from the chaos in Diandem pack, a certain red hair was going to bore to death when he had been locked inside this nice bedroom for days. He felt like he was going to go insane, if he had to wake up to this boring gloomy sky, which made it so hard for him to track down time, whether it was day or night.

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

Zephyr, Eron and Dyne growled, as they sensed the intruders, they picked their scent first because they were in their beast form, while the rest sensed this intruder later on.

"Stay behind me, luna," Aliana said, she stood in front of Iris, while Reed, Kian and Asher circled her, they put Iris and Zale in the middle because Iris felt the need to keep this young boy close to her, her instinct told her to protect him, since he was only a child in her eyes.

Iris ignored his attempt to take the role of protector like the other grown up warrior. She didn’t want something bad happened to him.

"What are you doing here, Argean?" Aliana asked. Argean was the gamma of the previous alpha of Diandem pack. "You should be out there, aiding our alpha."

"He is not our alpha." Grory emerged from behind the tree, he stood next to the gamma. "You are very naïve to think I will be glad to serve someone, who had killed my alpha as the new leader of the pack."

"Your alpha is very stupid to think so," Argean chimed in.

None of them looked surprised with this, since they watched closely the way Cane didn’t trust them both, thus they followed their alpha and now it was proven right.

Iris narrowed her eyes when she heard that. She was unhappy with the way they talked about Cane, but only then they realized, it was not only the two of them, but there were more warriors, who rebelled against Cane.

At the very least, there were fifteen warriors, who shared the same thought like the beta and the gamma. They crept closer toward Iris’s little group, in their beast form.

"Do you really think you can use our secret escape route for yourself without us knowing it?" Argean asked in cocky tone. "This is our pack. We know better about this place than you do."

That was right, they were born and grew up in this place, they knew every nook and cranny of this pack.

"Great if you knew this place better, like you should. Now, move out," Aliana said in boring tone.

"We will let you leave if you handed the luna over!" Argean spoke loudly, while the beasts that surrounded them growled threateningly.

"You can move away now, or we will kill all of you!" Zale snapped back at Argean, which made the gamma’s face turned ashen.

"Good job, kid." Reed rubbed Zale’s head, but the young boy swatted his hand away, because he didn’t like to be treated like a little child.

At the same time, Iris was very calm. She could see their wolf spirits and felt them. These spirits were so fragile.
