The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

After all, Rei was the founder of the Holy Kingdom. The idea came from him about the appointed five knights and the insignia on their swords, instead of the birthmark that would only be carried by the real Serafim’s protectors.

This was the relation between the five swords that Iris saw in her dream, the five appointed knights for every Serafim and the symbol. And there was more deepest meaning in between.

"What the meaning of this?" Elder Xarex blinked his eyes. He had never seen Rei knelt down before someone. He was a haughty man, who wouldn’t let his knees touched the ground and the only time he lowered his head was when he was scheming his opponent, appeared to be delicate and gentle.

However, he took this too far.

"She is the Serafim, the real Serafim that the pure faction and I will acknowledge." Rei lifted his head and looked at Iris right in her eyes. "I am at your service, my Serafim."

Cane stepped in, blocking his line of sight at his mate. Livid was an understatement of what he felt right now, even his beta and Redmond could feel the anger that rolled off his body.

His declaration sounded like a warning in Cane’s ears. He was going to stick with Iris no matter what with the excuse of being her protectors.

"I refuse," Iris said. "I don’t accept you."

"It doesn’t matter whether you accepted me or not, but you have chosen me centuries ago and I will always pledge my loyalty to you."

"You said you are my protectors, but then you hurt the other protector." Iris stepped aside and glared down at Rei. "Lou is my protector, he bears the mark, yet you hurt him."

Rei raised his brows and shook his head. "I don’t know about that. My apologize, luna."
