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 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
