Chapter 19: THE EVIL ALPHA’S DAUGHTER
The girl tugged her close, she buried her face in Iris' chest and Iris could feel her body trembling in fear.
On the other hand, Iris' eyes widened when the monster started to jump to the ground from the huge rock he perched himself on earlier.
The monster lurked closely, tilted its huge head, as if assessing its prey.
Iris felt her heart beating in her ears, as she hugged the little girl tighter.
The monster opened its mouth so wide, and Iris assumed it must let out a loud, vicious roar. She couldn't hear it, but she could feel the roar shake the ground beneath her. This monster was, at the very least, three times the size of a grown man.
Its four arms raised up and its expression was vicious when he charged forward, ready to kill them both.
"No! Stop!" Iris wanted to close her eyes and accept her fate, but she was unable to do so because she was too terrified. "STOP!"
She was mortified, but what surprised her was the fact that the monster stopped only two steps away from her. It shouldn't have stopped, they were predators, they wouldn't stop until they got the prey they wanted.
Yet, this monster seemed to hold itself back, its red eyes were fixed on Iris, as he whimpered. He was in pain, but the anger in its eyes softened a little bit. The murderous intention went away.
