Chapter Twenty-Five – Little Queen’s threats. Her chest was pumping up and down in unfiltered worry and determination, fear and anger. She was the last dwarf Chief’s daughter. Her act made other dwarfs muster up courage and stepped out. Lu tried holding them back but shame made him let them go. They’d all die without gaining a thing. “If this isn’t the most touching thing, I don’t know. Staying true to one’s dignity, epic!” Cold Prince remarked blinking to let go of a fake tear. Before the female dwarf could scoff at his actions, his sword had gone flying in the air. Six strikes below and one strike above. What thudded down were the left arms of six dwarfs and the head of an elderly dwarf. Blood splattered on his face. He nonchalantly wiped them off in disgust. The victims flumped unto the ground and groans filled the room. Lu looked at his people in horror. The others ran towards the door banging it loudly to free themselves. Cold Prince strolled towards them,
Chapter Twenty-Six – Meeting with the Cold PrinceLydia was both infuriated and oddly excited about her findings. She wasn’t sure why she followed him but she needed to see him confirm it and not give her a guilty look. She caught up with Scott as he petted an injured wolf. “Why are you here? It's dangerous” his eyes shook. She hesitated before speaking, “You kept those secrets all those years. Why? Cos you felt guilty?” she folded her arms. He looked away, “Whatever. Just go back”. He hated having to remember that. It hunted his dreams. Seeing the blood all over her head and watching her being dragged away from him. Yes, he felt guilty. He heard her sigh. “I wanna help. And don’t stop me. Margaret had tricked the Prince and brought the girl. If I don’t help somehow, she’d keep bragging about this”. Scott sighed too, “And you’re still stubborn” “Why, would you prefer your childhood friend to have changed much?” she strutted towards him. He looked away and faced his bac
Chapter Twenty-Seven – He raised her.It was supposed to be a happy reunion. Bringing back the Cold Prince to the cavern. To be with his little queen but the little queen didn’t like the gift and rained abuses on them. It wasn’t to be not expected anyway. “Don’t cry. Your brother isn’t dead” Han tried consoling the little queen. He looked up to Lydia for an assurance and she nodded. Lydia could swear she saw hints of anger and hate in younger brother’s eyes. She didn’t know if it was because of holding the two royalties or maybe for she ignoring him and running off to meet Scott. She had vaguely explained to Margaret that she ran after Scott cos she wanted to help. Evelyn help add that she wanted to set a record like her. “You won’t imagine the amount of blood I saw. Scott gave me ear muffs so I can’t hear the slashing but I didn’t see the spilling”. Lydia shuddered every word as she leaned on Evelyn while her legs were on Han's. “You can brag that you helped kidnap t
Chapter Twenty-Eight – The Queen lives.He was confused on how to resolve this. “Wait” he pulled his sister behind him as a young woman passed him. “Han? Han, where are you?”. Cold Prince thought she looked smaller than the black haired that tricked. Though her size fit the figure of the one who caged him. “She’s the youngest” His sister confirmed. “Let’s kill her for a start” she added.Cold Prince shook his head. He needed to escape first. Know the fate of his army. And then return now he knew the topography of the forest. He would come unannounced to create his loud anger. He sneaked behind the trees, crawling behind every stone. Weirdly, his sister was keeping up without noise. “Han! Margaret wants to arm wrestle with you?” The youngest walked closer to them, making them halt. His eyes turned gray involuntarily and he began whispering some words. His sister hit him making him come back to himself. “What was that? You’re whispering. She’d hear you” she frowned
Chapter Twenty-Nine – You’re family.Han couldn’t meet Lydia’s gaze so he stared at the ground. Disappointment and disbelief filled her sighs. He didn’t bother check the eyes of his other sisters. Or Scott. They’d probably be full to the brim with hate. “So they’ve been your friends for a while. That’s why you saved them?” Scott asked while nonchalantly playing with a stick. Han moved backwards while Lydia tore the stick from Scott's hands. Giving him a bruise. “Stop scaring him. Do you really wanna hit my brother with that?” Lydia seemed to be throwing her anger on him. He raised his hands in surrender. He hadn’t thought of hitting the boy. Why should he? He played with the stick to loosen tension. “They are going to be back. And we are on their kill list. You know?” Evelyn spoke up after a longtime. Han nodded sheepishly, “Sorry…”. “Sorry doesn’t cut it. I brought the girl. They fought to bring the Prince. We’re negotiating peace but you let them leave like that” Ma
Chapter Thirty – They’re spelled. Cold Prince sat down besides the only available chair besides his mother. Her eyes turned back to normal and she smiled widely. “You shouldn’t be using your abilities. You just recovered” he smiled back. It had been a long time he had a casual conversation with his mother, he missed them. He did know this one won’t be casual. But a sequel to her earlier suggestion of him being coronated King. He’d like to. The ministers had talked to him about it while the last three years but he wanted his mother awake by then. “I can’t help myself. And about you being King, you know you need a Queen. By tradition” she went straight to the point. He smiled wider, “Damned tradition. The same tradition stopped us from inhibiting the dark magic. Are we still following that?”. She sauntered towards him, moving her head like she was in deep thoughts. They were indeed some traditions that they had ignored. For their protection. Inhibiting the dark
Chapter Thirty-One – The Gem.It had been three days since the Dark Dynasty Prince and his sister were captured. Only to be released by Han. Han and Scott relationship hadn’t improved since then. “Any other idea on repaying Han's mistake?” Evelyn enquired from her sisters while they were spending the afternoon, resting. Margaret raised her hands. “Ideas not including storming the dynasty. He has a large army and magic. We’d be toast” Evelyn dismissed the idea immediately. Margaret dropped her hands. “I have another idea” Lydia rolled in her stomach and faced her sisters bed. Evelyn sighed, wondering if it would be to run away from the forest. She quickly remembered that Lydia wouldn’t want to run anymore now that Scott turned out to be her childhood friend. “Okay…?” she rested her head back on her pillow ready to hear whatever wild idea her youngest sister would come up with. Lydia's ideas had come off as good at first but Scott had another story. The forbidden forest
Chapter Thirty-Two – Crowned King.(At the Cavern)“And that’s bag three” Scott rolled his eyes. One thing he never realized about having three Lunas was that they'll want you to respect their three decisions when you need one. He didn’t plan on taking Evelyn’s suggestion on staying at the Blue Moon Pack for a week. Before he could revolt, Margaret had helped him pack clothes. Evelyn packed supplies and Lydia packed fruits. In different three bags! Did they know he owned no horse or was he supposed to carry all these and still run? “Not to be insensitive to your efforts but he is just informing them about something. He isn’t staying too long to plan a war” Han looked briefly between his sisters. Scott knew he was coming from a different direction but it still made sense. He carried two bags back to his cave and began unpacking, despite their sulking. “Women are so demanding” Han came in with the last one. “And I have three Lunas” Scott said rather proudly. The thud
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
