Chapter Nine – Law of forest. Two men shrieked as they saw a snake slid by. It was the third wildlife creature they were seeing that passed them without attacking. The forest and its river were called forbidden for a reason but Sylvester had still paid them to go into the forest to search for his nieces. They were so blinded by the huge amount he gave that they broke their own law of trespassing the forbidden forest. A squirrel ran through their legs while chasing after a nut and one of the men screamed his lungs out. The other looked horrified. “Why do these animals not act like animals? Snakes are supposed to attack. Squirrels would avoid humans as much as possible. What’s wrong with these forest animals?” they wondered to themselves. Well, the animals at that forest had an Alpha. An Alpha they believed wouldn’t let anyone hurt them. They were also bonded by a law not to hurt anyone from the village as well. It was the new law of the forest. “How can those girls be
Chapter Ten – A marriage for Lydia. The hunters were surprised to see the girls coming out from the forest like they owned the place. They looked healthy and strong except they had gloom faces. Before any hunter could speak Lydia dragged his net that had little squirrels. The fearful squirrels ran away for their life the moment they were free. “Isn’t this forest forbidden? Why are you catching animals from it?” Margaret pointed at the men. Lydia spared them no dialogue as she targeted their catch and dragged it away, setting the animals free. Some hunters tried fighting for their catch but one look at Lydia’s face made them realize she was meaning business. Evelyn just watched in silence. She was careful not to make an outburst as it would be rude to the hunters. They were just acting on their natural instincts, doing their jobs. It was rather their own fault for running to the forest. She now understood that the forest was forbidden for a reason. The girls stood in
Chapter Eleven – Can’t marry a classmate Her face looked like someone had splashed it with mud because before her was Mrs. Lara and her teenage son with a bouquet of flower. “Did you mistake here for an asylum? What are you doing here?” Margaret asked disgusted. “That’s no way to speak to an in-law or an elder” her uncle spears behind the visitors. “Wow. Margaret is getting married to that kid?” Lydia looked both amused and repelled. Sylvester invited Evelyn and Margaret to the dining room to talk on “important matters”. Margaret had given an evil smirk and followed them. Evelyn didn’t bother. She knew her sister would reject the boy. For his own sake. She collapsed on her bed and let the amazing scenery of Scott’s home fill her mind. She low-key wished she could go back. She was slowing drifting to sleep when Margaret barged into the room, laughing her head out. Evelyn glared at her with half closed eyes. “You won’t believe. That kid is actually getting married t
Chapter Twelve – The Price of his Freedom. Evelyn slammed her hands in the table abruptly. Her hands ached as it was a wooden table but her anger subdued her pain. “Stop messing with our brains. Where’s the dead-now-revived boy, huh!” she looked like she’d hit the old man. Lydia looked calm. Sylvester didn’t look threatened at all by her rage, he had the exact words for her. According to him, the acclaimed boy was now a servant of the priest. It was a Buddhist priest, more or less a monk, and the boy was a servant there. To retrieve the boy is only by adoption and a huge amount have to be paid. Margaret listened with anger but it soon fizzled out as she remembered it could be a prank. “If you think it’s a lie, then ask yourself why Han looks like Lydia?” Sylvester ended his explanation with a grin. He expected to see a sense of realization in their eyes but their eyes only emitted hatred. There was a pin drop silence. Lydia clenched her fists, she raised them to hi
Chapter Thirteen – Their reward. Margaret gazed down at her youngest sister and she could see the sadness and fear welling up in her. “It isn’t going to end this way” she said before stomping off. Evelyn followed her outside and noticed she wore forest boots. Meaning she could only be going one place. “But how can Scott help us now?” she wondered to herself. Margaret kept her hopes high as she ventured deeper into the forest. A howling nearby didn’t scare her but assured her she was getting closer. She knew that Scott was always with the wolves to make sure they didn’t get in trouble. A snarling was made right behind her and she turned with a smile. “Take me to Scott, please” she said politely. The wolf responded by growling loudly and then howling to his other pack members that he has found FOOD. Margaret immediately sensed this and began running. With her high pitched screams she hoped Scott would find her.*******(Galdrish. Camp of Galdrish Royal Soldiers) A high r
Chapter Fourteen – Marry Us.Margaret dragged Scott carelessly across the forest. She was scared as other animals came out from their holes, trees and caves to watch her. She was glad they didn’t attack, even if she didn’t know why. Didn’t Scott only control the wolves? She couldn’t speak or read animal language but with the ‘expressions' of the animals, they looked confused why she was dragging Scott. She calmed down and let him walk on his own. They still stared. “They don’t see humans all the time” Scott explained. Margaret wasn’t satisfied but she pushed the thoughts aside and focused on heading home. By now, Lydia would be making the marriage recitals. No matter how she rebellious she is, she wouldn’t want her sister making a marriage vow without keeping them. “So let’s go over your plan” Scott tapped her shoulders. She turned to him. “I’d tell your Uncle that I want to get married to all of you at once?”. Margaret nodded. “And he’d let me go with you three with
Chapter Fifteen – His Lunas They were back to the cave. Evelyn was still conflicted by Twisthat’s final words. They had explained to him that Scott was their friend who was just saving them from an abusive marriage. But then Twisthat said that to the world, they would be considered as married as their uncle would have to answer to the Chief of the village. Meaning they were officially married to Scott. They could only be free when they get married to their individual husbands and after divorcing Scott. Was this a case of ‘from frying pan to fire’? In a bid to rescue Lydia, they were all getting married to a wolfman. And why did Margaret demand that they all marry him? It was only Lydia that needed saving. Was she trying to avoid Scott marrying only Lydia? “And maybe their marriage becomes real?” Evelyn continued her thinking out loud. She clenched her fists. That Margaret must have been trying to marry Scott herself but couldn’t and had to use all of them. Now, they
Chapter Sixteen – Dark Dragon. The beds were amazing. As were the caves. Beautifully adorned with shells and stones. And it was looking like they’ve found a new life outside where they are used. Evelyn finally found an alone time with her sister’s with Scott away to get herbs for Lydia’s injury. She made sure he was far gone before starting her meeting. She first started with scolding them for their careless escapades and begging them to keep their adventurous spirit to a low. They were in a protective cavern. They must be a reason Scott was here. It was better if they didn’t leave it just because he told them how to unlock it. For their own safety. When she was sure they understand, she exhaled before starting the main problem in her head. “Margaret!” she started sternly. Marg looked at her with sober eyes. “I know you are excited to be his ‘Luna’ or whatever he called it but don’t get any silly ideas…”. “Luna? He called Lydia, Luna. What does it mean?” Margaret inte
Chapter Eighty-Nine – A Luna to All (THE END).Lydia left to help Scott drag the big boulder towards he and Mica. Mica stood up to help but Scott pulled her to sit, “Let her struggle”. Mica rolled her eyes. So she was in the middle on a couple prank? “Scott, right now, the people of Red Mountains are without an Alpha!”. Scott laughed, he had heard of how Red and ripped the kid apart. Jackson had added that he left him to it cos the boy was no threat. The boy’s plan was attack the Forest, he'd thought they’re were lots of warrior. It’s a big fail leaving them prey to Blue Moon's ambush. “Will you be your pack’s Alpha then?” Scott glanced at Mica and then at Lydia, she was getting closer to them with the boulder. Mica looked at her, sorry, that stone was heavy, “Can I? But I just became Beta few weeks back”. But it’d be amazing to unlock Alpha mode. “You have to be. Red Mountains would be added to trinity packs if we are certain they have a better Alpha.. Or it’d be extincti
Chapter Eighty-Eight – Lucasia.(Two Weeks Later)Mica reached the entrance of the forest, panting and holding unto her injured leg. Curse silver. Curse Craitan soldiers. Curse her pack. She wasn’t even part of her pack anymore yet they attacked her. Saying that they’re all animals. Didn’t they become allies recently. “Cursed Humans! I'd rip them apart next time. Shallow creatures. Shame of earth” she kept on shouting to the trees. She reached a river and fell at the bank, slurping down water. Small growl were behind her and she sighed, “Wait, please, not again”. She heard some a small voice behind her and she turned. A dark haired pretty girl who watched her with a careful look. The girl smelled of Luna energy so she stood up and bowed, “I am Mica, Luna, where’s your mate? May I meet Scott, Alpha of this pack?”. Lydia stared at her, astounded, who’s the dangerous looking girl? How’d she know she’s Scott’s mate. She just realized four days ago. She knew in the weirdest a
Chapter Eighty-Seven – Mother.(At the Forbidden Forest Entrance) Margaret nodded to Jackson to bring down his dagger. Jackson stared at her in disbelief. They tied her younger brother to a tree! “I am sorry, I actually saved him, you know!” Anya defended. She looked at her brother for support but he still closed his eyes, resting. “No thanks” Chan spat and stormed off. Jackson followed him, pulling Margaret with him, “Wait, I'd speak with them” she stopped him. Jackson let her go, look over at the King and Princess before taking Chan away. Anya groaned in dismay. Her whole plan failed. “Thanks for saving me and the kids. I just realized that’s your horse” she started. Gerard was still resting his head on a tree, eyes shut. He made no sound so his sister nudged him, You’re welcomed. I was sent to, actually” he referred to Anya. Anya smiled. “Well, I'd be thanking her then. My apologies”, Margaret shifted to the girl, “Thank you, Anya. And Chan didn’t really need saving”.
Chapter Eighty-Six – Greek Xena.(At Galdrish) The spearmen team and the archery team came back just in time to receive cheering and praises from the Galdrish people. They bowed and curtsied while hiding the legend from the people’s eye. Timothy felt someone grab his arm and pulled him to a hug. He would have punched whoever till he saw it was his father. His eyes look wet, “Son, you came back. I was so worried”. He rolled his eyes, the man was probably drunk. How could he be drinking while they were on war? And if he needed to run? His team leader pulled him back. He felt annoyed, having to be pulled about. She pointed at the palace and pointed at Xena, the legend. He nodded and gave his hand for Xena to come down with. He had let her use his horse to return home as she could not walk properly. But to his surprise, she jumped down without taking his hand, “Take me to the King. I need to rest” she spoke in English. Timothy did as he was told and ushered her to the King
Chapter Eighty-Five – Sisters Squabbles. Evelyn looked at the line of bodies that were being arranged at the forest. She hurried in, her eyes searching for her siblings. They shouldn’t be among the piles or someone had to answer to her. She made sprints searching till she came to their own cavern. She saw Margaret holding unto Han who had a wound on his left side. She stomped to him, yanking him by the arm, “Why did you leave?”. Margaret shoved her hand away, standing up to her, “Don’t you see he’s in pain? And he left cos he was told to? Unlike you who hid!”. Margaret received a slap on her face that shut her up. Han was lost of words while Evelyn was outraged, “Shut up! Where’s Lydia? Let’s pack”. She went ahead to find Lydia herself. Lydia was at Scott’s watching as Blue Moon’s pack doctor treated him. Sewing his wounds close. He reached out his hand for her to hold. She reached for it but dropped it when she heard Evelyn’s voice, “Um… take care. I’d be back”. “Lydia
Chapter Eighty-Four – A day of revenge. This had to be the worst decision of her life. She ran off, dodging another stroke of the Princess. Why was Walt not howling for help? She picked up a stick and threw at the princess, but she missed. She threw a stone and it bruised the Princess, but healed immediately. Lydia stood transfixed for a moment before running from her again. Was she a demon? Even werewolves don’t heal that fast. “Stop wasting my time, stand still so I’d kill you” Lena barked. Lydia scoffed, she wouldn’t dare listen to that. But then a low growl erupted behind her. Lena froze gritting her teeth in disappointment. Lydia glared at Walt, where had he been? Her eyes softened when she saw the hole at his sides, and it wasn’t healing. She turned at the silver in Lena's hands. This bitch had to taste it. Walt crawled in front of Lydia, barring her from Lena. “Awww, protecting your Luna? Is she your mate? Well, I’m sorry, sir, I have to take you with me. It’d b
Chapter Eighty-Three – Man on a black horse. (At the Forbidden Forest) Gerard stood at the border, checking for sounds of screeches or for burning tree tops. He found none. Surely his sister was here. He strolled past the landmark and stood few trees away, he could still hear nothing except for trees and growls of wolves. The war had started, “Anya, are you here? Let’s go back!” he called out. He didn’t want anything to do with this. Why couldn’t she understand? He went back and climbed his horse, heading deeper into the forest. At a slight sound, he unsheathed his sword and looked for it. As he came closer to a river bank, he could hear muffling sounds. And slight screeches. He found her. “You'd have to forgive me, Chan. How can you fight wolves?” he saw her scolding Chan, who was tied, hands, feet and mouth. “You are not serious” he sighed, dropping down his sword. She looked shocked seeing him there and stomped to him, shaking her head. “You are not taking me
Chapter Eight-Two – Craitan’s Strategy.Evelyn had goosebumps thinking of the war between Galdrish and Craitan. It was happening too fast. She would even add that it was very impulsive on Craitan’s part as they didn’t seem to have a battle strategy. All their forces were marching to Galdrish. While Evelyn had already heard that one third of Galdrish’s force will meet them at battle. Another one third would be backup. And the last part guards the kingdom. Also, all of the villages at the outside of Galdrish had been emptied into the city. After Craitan’s full force reaches Galdrish. Some selected spearmen and archers had been assigned to raid Craitan. Craitan had surely not thought of their own people. No protection at all for them. Spies of Blue Moon at Craitan even said that it was the Princess leading the war and not a general. They had no general. They were heading to an epic fail. It was certain. Unlike their allies, Red Mountains, who had more chances of winning
Chapter Eighty-One – To save his mate and hers.(Ancient Route of the Red Mountains) Mica couldn’t understand. Was it the same route those Alphas and their warrior followed to get to her pack? She doubted, this one was filled with wild wolves that she couldn’t handle. Their Alpha snarled at her, telling her to go back. She shook her head, “No can do, sir. I need to pass here. One of us have derailed. It’s my duty as guardian to mend this” she spoke to it. It seemed to understand as it came forward. She felt her mind link being broken into. Was this wolf trying to mind link with her? Was it a werewolf? “Mica, daughter of Red Mountains”. She gasped as she heard a hoarse voice in her head. Her eyes stayed fixated at the Alpha Wolf’s red eyes. “I am Alpha of the Sprit Wolf’s Pack”. It felt like a dream to Mica. Spirit wolfs? What did they want of her? To send her on an assignment? “For long, you killed our pack members. Now, we’d repay the favor” the link was disconnected
