Falling For The Alpha King novel Chapter 4

“This area is a forbidden forest. You and Lisa shouldn't be here. Maybe Jessy has the same curiosity as you. Young people do have a great curiosity. This forest has been closed and forbidden to enter since a dozen years ago. It all started with some strange events that we initially thought didn't make sense. Many of the victims died in horrific conditions, their bodies were torn apart, like a wild beast attack. And the victims were found in this forest," said Sheriff Webb.

"Then?" Sean asked curiously as he looked at Sheriff Webb and his father in turn.

Sheriff Webb looked at Bruce, and vice versa. Then Sheriff Webb sighed and resumed his explanation.

“Some people saw wolves roaming and passing through the forest. However, the horror did not stop there. The residents work together with the police team into the forest to hunt down wild wolves. At first, we all thought it was a wild wolf. Until finally, some of us saw the transformation from a human to a werewolf, but unfortunately, they couldn't see the human form of the werewolf. The shapeshifting was terrifying and the wolf's size was much larger than the size of a normal wolf. When he found out where we were, he chased and hunted us. Several of us were injured and killed on the mission. Since then, the mayor has closed this forest and we call it the forbidden forest. For a dozen years, this forest has been untouched by humans, until tonight's incident made us fear and reminisce about events in the past," said Sheriff Webb.

“Then, how is my sister in there? Will she be all right?” Sean asked frantically as he got up from his chair.

Bruce approached his son and hugged him. Both hug each other. Then, Bruce said, "We'll find her, I promise you."

Sean didn't answer, he hugged his father and rested his head on his shoulder. Then Sheriff Webb asked Sean and Bruce to calm down and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning the search will resume.

That night, it rained very hard, lightning struck several times. Everyone had drifted off to sleep, except for Sean who was still awake. He was very worried about Lisa. If Sheriff Webb's words were true, his sister would likely be in danger if one or more of the wolves found Lisa in the abyss. He didn't even dare to imagine something bad happening to his sister.

While holding back the gust of cold air that entered the tent, Sean hoped that God would protect his sister. Not long after that, he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, deep below the abyss, to be precise in an old, run-down house. Lisa woke up several times because she heard the sound of lightning striking several times and a gust of cold air that made her body shiver. She wanted to wake up and see the situation outside, but her body couldn't move at all.

She turned her head to the side and was surprised to find Scott looking at her with an inexplicable look. Fear and curiosity arose, courageously, she asked, “I thought you were still asleep. Is there something wrong with me that you're looking at me like that?"

For a while Scott remained silent and didn't answer, then he sighed and replied, “I woke up to the sound of thunder and felt cold. There's nothing wrong with you, I'm just trying to make sure you're okay. That is all."

Lisa smiled, then replied, “Thank you. I don't know what will happen to me if you didn't help me. Hopefully, they will find us soon.”

The handsome man was silent, then turned his face towards the window where he can see a strong wind blowing outside.

Lisa felt that the man's eyes seemed to imply something mysterious and kept something that could not be expressed. Their togetherness that night was quite mysterious to the girl.

Lisa also looked out the window, she regretted everything. If only she had not asked Jessy to take her to this forbidden forest and take her brother and friend into the forest, of course, things would not have ended like this. Then, she began crying. Scott who heard the sound of crying turned his head and asked the girl, "Why are you crying?"

“I-I regret something,” she answered quietly.
