The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty-Six – Meeting with the Cold Prince

Lydia 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 back to her, “Climb then. Don’t slow me down”.

She yelped in thrill and jumped on him.

“Are you comfortable up there?” Scott asked for the fourth time. Lydia made an “hmm” sound, holding unto his shoulders.

She was lying. She knew she’d slip from his shoulders when he’d run with his wolf speed but she decided to act numb.

Like she used to do years back. Don’t feel the wind. Just hope it’d stop. Try counting how many times his feet tap the ground.

Scott began running, at first, with small strides. Seeing her relaxed, he added speed and zoomed to the entrance of the forest. The wolf pack far behind.

Cold Prince was getting impatient. The noise wasn’t affecting the wolves and animals yet like it should.

He expected them to be in disarray, running out and him venting off by slicing them.

But only the birds reacted to the sounds by chirping loudly. Like they were calling into someone.

These cymbals do not work. The dwarfs were just being petty with him again.

“Stop the clanging, let’s move in” he bellowed to his army, with dark energy simmering in his eyes.

The first four men that crosses the landmark into the forest saw a shadow pass by them with lightening speed, red eyes and red hair.

That was their last sight before their souls seeped out of them as their necks were slit. The rest behind them hurried back.

Cold Prince smirked, “You are an Alpha, Scott. Judging on this knowledge, you either had killed your Alpha. Or you are a true Alpha”.

He jumped down from his horse, “To be honest, either reason makes me kind of hesitant to combat with you. So I’d ask nicely, release my sister”.

Scott appeared sitting above a tree branch. The tree was one that was a landmark for the forest.

“I don’t need your sister for anything” he peered deep into the Prince’s eyes. The Prince’s magic made his Alpha powers will not to work on him.

“Hmm, have it your way. Deal gone. I’m not promising your sister being in one piece” Scott snapped his hands.

Enraged by his words, Cold Prince made a strike towards him with his sword but Scott dodged it.

The snap was a signal to the wolves and wild boars as they soon creeped out with snarling teeth. Jumping on the soldiers who had unsheathed their swords, a full war broke out.

Using his dark magic, Cold Prince manipulated birds to attack Scott but as their Alpha they backed down.

Throwing his sword at Scott only for the latter to catch it made Cold Prince infuriated. He channeled his energy to a sprouting tree and began uprooting it.

Scott watched in horror. That was a young tree with a lot if life in it. He swiftly attacked the Prince, making him stumble and lose his concentration.

A wolf dived on the Prince to keep him down but was elevated by his dark energy. The sword rose up as well and slid into the wolf’s head.

Scoot eyes changed a subtle orange and he looked up, “Lydia dear, let down the cage unto this beast”.

“With pleasure” came Lydia's yelp. She had been waiting for his command.

Confused, Cold Prince looked up at the landmarked tree but a metallic cage came crashing down on him trapping him and finally laying him unconscious.
