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 Seventeen – A dead squirrel. Scott looked around the hole for the last time before concluding that it was dead. A shiver ran down his spine but he tightened his fists and walked away. Some animals came to him but he just moved like he didn’t know what happened. A small bird perched on his hair, trying to call his attention, but he brushed it away. They’d be all the curious on what killed the squirrel. It was a normal thing to die in the forest but not in this case. Whatever killed the squirrel was surely not a normal animal. The squirrel was old and weakly and such animals are usually left to die before eaten. It was among the Alpha’s law of the jungle. So whoever did that was an intruder. And could possibly not be an animal as there isn’t even footsteps or carcasses left. Scott looked behind him carefully to be sure he wasn’t being followed before going into the hidden cave. The last thing he wanted was anyone finding his last hide out especially now he had
Chapter Eighteen – Her size“None of your business. And you better not have killed the squirrel!” Margaret yelled at Han. He retreated back behind Lydia and Evelyn surprised, slapped Margaret on her shoulders. “What’s with you? Yelling at your brother cos of your silly crush on a wolf man. Why, is it his red hair? Or good looks? Han didn’t kill anything. We brought him from the temple ourselves” Evelyn pointed at Margaret who was looking down at her hands. “Yeah. If any of us had killed any squirrel, it would be you” Lydia added, making both Evelyn and Margaret face her. “Of course, you might have stepped on it with your 90kg size without knowing” Lydia added, rolling her eyes. Margaret eyes twitched, “Are we back on you mocking my size?” she roared. Han came in front of Lydia but she pushed him back. “Truth be said, you need to work on your size. Especially now we are in a forest so you won’t kill lesser animals with that size” Lydia snapped back. “Lydia, can you stop…
Chapter Nineteen – Dwarfs.Margaret didn’t feel the pressure much but Scott and the wolf seemed like they were in pain. “Wolves have better hearing this could be worse for him” She quickly calculated. His ears began bleeding, confirming her calculations. She dragged him up and placed him over her shoulder. The little wolf folded himself around Scott’s legs and together they all dragged themselves to the cavern. “Those dwarfs! Why didn’t I think of this?” Scott moaned. Dwarfs? Margaret nearly dropped him on hearing such. Dwarfs were around the forest? Then she and her sisters had to run away. Those were one species in the world that they couldn’t handle. The rowdy disastrous nature of dwarfs beat reasonable solutions. “We are almost there” Margaret assured Scott as he was losing strength. She punched the button on the rock and it sped open. She sped inside and it shut. Due to the strong rocks and walls, the sound of the cymbal wasn’t heard as loud as before. Scott ran to
Chapter Twenty – Dwarfs in the forest.(At the Cavern) Scott tried his best to explain the threat of the dwarfs but Lydia, for some reasons wasn’t listening. She only spoke of ‘fleeing’. “Lydia, for the one hundredth time, we can’t leave the animals and flee. Scott is responsible for them. And if the dwarfs come to the village?” Margaret countered for the hundredth time. Evelyn whispered to Scott to hold them or they’d have a repeat fight. Han chuckled to that but Scott wasn’t finding anything funny. “Lydia, please, let me put it this way. The dwarfs are after me, I have something they need. They’d come after me wherever I go” he exhaled Her face scrunched, “So, it shouldn’t concern us” she was calmer. “We are his Lunas, we are in this together” Margaret snapped. Evelyn gave her a face but didn’t revolt. Scott looked embarrassed by her remark. He placed his head down and shook his head “What is Luna again?” Han asked, the second time. They all fell silent. “Well, if
Chapter Twenty-One – The Plan. Lydia attempted to touch the wolf for the fourth time but it wriggled out of her hold. “It doesn’t like you” Margaret spelt out. Han chuckled but straightened out when Lydia frowned at him. She just wanted to be a bit friendly to it. Since she has to live, for who knows how long, she might as well familiarize with her ‘husband’s' pets. Scott came back with some fruits in his bag so she stood up to help him get the bag down. “No longer mad at me?” he asked as they brought down the bag. She scrunched her face. She couldn’t even remember being mad at him. “If you meant my decision on my sisters and I staying away from the dwarfs, then yea. I still uphold that. Dwarfs are dangerous” she said, with a filtered British accent. Scott smiled, “Well, too bad. He’d be visiting tomorrow”, Lydia flung her head at him. “With his ‘Dragon Queen' of the Dark Dynasty”. The last part was loud enough for the other siblings to hear. “Dark Dynasty?
Chapter Twenty-Two – Sneak attack.The forest was just as he had seen it last. Cold, empty, and oddly coordinated. Cold Prince turned to his sister, who had stubbornly persisted on following him. She swung her blonde hair left and right with her blue eyes watching her surrounding. “You should have stayed back. You need rest from that attack” he sighed dragging his eyes off her tired face. His stomach still churned on the earlier incident. Rushing from his mother’s deathbed on news that his younger sister had been abducted by a wolfman who needed to see him before killing her. His blood had ran cold as he rode back, what if she was dead by the time he came? He’s mother had barely a month to live and his stubborn sister was the last family he had in his life. If he hadn’t outsmarted the wolfman to retrieve her, his mother would have buried her youngest child before her death. “I am the Dragon Queen. Don’t underrate me. I gave you the honor of killing that wolfman but I’d
Chapter Twenty-Three – A little dragon queen.He’d surely live to meet her again, she’d regret their next meeting. He hoped she’d like his surprise. The young woman turned and looked at him, “Wait, you’re the Cold Prince, eh?” she had a heavy voice. One that the cold prince couldn’t believe sounded nice to him. He said nothing so she shrugged and ran off. While his eyes were still on the path Margaret had disappeared to. A wolf jumped on one of his soldiers snapping off his head off. He drew back his sister and started fending off the animals. Margaret had never left. She stayed back making sure that these strangers were killed off. But how did those wolves become less vile? Or was the prince too much for them? She’d never seen a prince so she stayed back to see this one. From the stories she had heard, he didn’t look so princely. Unless the rather well built body and stoic face. The young man with his brown long hair was surely skilled in sword art. His moves were
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
