Chapter 143
“Mum, Dad, the orc trials begin today. Queen Mala has invited everyone to come along to watch,’
Oh, ore trials?’ My mother says, raising an eyebrow.
‘Yeah, they wrestle to see who is the strongest amongst them,’l explain.
see. I guess we can come along,’ my mother shrugs.
‘I know wrestling isn’t your cup of tea, but you might enjoy it a little?’ I smile.
She nods.
T’ll see if the rest of the pack wants to come along,’ I say, standing up and leaving the house.
Everyone who wants to attend meets near the portal.
“I just have to find Magnus and Alec,” I say to Flint and Josie.
‘They were heading towards the river over there not long ago,’ Josie says.
‘Thanks,’ I say and ‘Skedaddle Dash’ towards them.
As I approach, I see them both sitting by the river, talking like best buddies.
‘Unbelievable,’ I mutter under my breath.
They both stop talking and see me approach with a not-too-impressed look on my face. I halt in front of Alec and Magnus and cross my arms.
‘Hi, babe,’ Magnus says nervously. The scowl on my face intensifies.
‘My Queen,’ Alec also says nervously. I’m now scowling at Alec.
They give each other a guilty look.
“Honestly, you two are unbelievable. Do you both know that?’ I huff.
‘Unbelievably handsome,’ Magnus says with a wink. Alec gives him a hi-five.
And don’t you encourage his behaviour,’ I say to Alec.
They both stare down at their hands with obvious guilt.
‘Next time you decide to get into a fight with each other, at least be more discreet about it,’ I say, raising my hands in defeat. Anyway, are you both ready to return to Moon Crest Castle?’
As they nod, a pair of beautiful fairy wings in the nearby garden grabs my attention.
‘Quinn!’ I growl and give chase after her. She looks back and frets when she sees I’m gaining on her. ‘Get back here, you little brat!’ I yell.
Her wings pick up speed, and I see her scurry and hide behind her cottage. I quietly creep up and slowly scan the area, Finally, I see her toes sticking out from behind a large bushy potted plant.
“Gotcha!’I say, about to pull her out from hiding, but instead, I trip and fall flat on my face. Quinn bursts into laughter and runs across my back.
et out a growi and shift into my wolf and give chase. I lunge and gently tackle her to the ground and shift back. We roll
around a few times.
‘You drugged me willi fairy dust!’I growl.
‘It’s your fault for being so na?ve,’ she giggles.
glare at her as we roll around in the vegetable garden. ‘Oh, have you spoken to the flowers lately?’ she asks, laughing even harder. I blush with embarrassment, remembering Sir Hugo having a good laugh at my expense from talking to the flowers in the window and being under the effects of fairy dust. ‘I thought you would fall for that old nutshell,’ she smiles.
