The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 40

Chapter Forty-One – Only his catalyst.

Chan had been attempting for the last hours to leave through the main gate but soldiers keep watching him like they were sent.

He hoped the princess hadn’t ratted him out. He took a bold step and speed walked past the gates but was stopped by the guard.

“The Queen wishes to see you” he stared down coldly at him.

“But I have been walking around here. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” he responded with slight shaky voice.

“Well her orders where if you passed through the gates I should bring you to her. Should I bring you or you’d go?” he chuckled darkly.

Chan gulped down air. The man was hanging from two feet’s above him. Very usually huge.

Chan saw King Gerard sitting with his mother inside the courtroom. He bowed to them and sat at the seat the Queen pointed out for him.

He was sure he was in trouble. The Princess had ratted him out surely. Even the King wasn’t looking at him.

“Chan, do you know why we need Margaret with us?” the Queen sighed.

He shook his head. All he knew was she was his catalyst. He didn’t know why she would be. He’d never met her.

“I understand that Scott’s Lunas and Han, as your family but you also swore allegiance to our course” she rose from her throne.

Han shifted uncomfortably on his chair. He swore to protect innocent people. Innocent people including his family.

“I placed a bounty on Margaret's head and I’d like you to know, it is your fault” she continued.

She chuckled on seeing his stunned expression, “I overhead your talk with my daughter. It’d would have been better if you’d given the girl to Gerard that time at the forest”.

Gerard shot a glare at Chan, “And you told me you shut at a squirrel”.

Chan staggered from his seat. He didn’t need to be ratted out. The Queen was a witch herself that heard all conversations.

He began breathing heavily, “How'd I know you’d not kill her? What good is she to you as a catalyst?” he dropped the honorifics.

He didn’t regret it even if the King fumed.

“As a catalyst, she would increase his powers. The job of a mate to a werewolf is the same as a catalyst to him” the Queen declared.

Both Gerard and Chan snapped their heads to her.

Gerard shook his head. Margaret was like a mate to him? She was beautiful and attracted him but why does his dark energy crave her?

She was wicked and not his type. He preferred girly sweet women not one that could kill him at night. Being his catalyst was enough curse already talk less of mate.

“You can’t stop us from getting her. I’d keep you away. For the mean time” she snapped her fingers and some soldiers dragged Chan away.

“Leave my sisters alone. The Prince can have other toys, leave them alone” Chan shouted as he was dragged away.

Princess Anya ran into the courtroom, “Mother! Why is Chan being dragged away?”.

“Silence Anya or you’d be punished as well. He lied to his King. It’s the least punishment so don’t complain” her mother bellowed.
