The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 43

Chapter Forty-four – Only Hope.

Walt growled inside him, scratching his insides. Scott gulped down the bitter substance again. His face squeezed in distaste.

“Good, right?” Jackson asked, with a nudge.

Scott rolled his eyes. Must he also tease him on such bitter times? And why was punishment of failing a game be taking three shots of alcohol?

And why where they even playing a game when Alpha Red had said he had something to tell him? Wasn’t it urgent?

“Hmmm. Nice move. But my Queen just killed you” Alpha Red snickered before moving his Queen across the board.

Scott made a bored grunt, “I am a replacement to your late Omega aren’t I?”.

The two wolf heads nodded cheerfully, making Scot eye roll again. This wasn’t fun especially if he kept on failing.

“I have a sick boy to tend to. Can we talk on the ‘something’ please?” he moved his King carelessly hoping to get eaten and end the game.

Alpha Red brought out a poster, handing it over to Scott, “Here. And aha, I killed your King” he roared in victory.

Scott looked at the poster intently. Was it an invite to some party? He had always dodged such for long.

The poster had a face he couldn’t quite fathom and it wasn’t an invitation.

“This kinds looks like Margaret?” he looked at the Alpha, happily gulping down alcohol. Scott winced his face, feeling bad for the man.

“Look properly, it’s a bounty on her head. I was surprised to see her today and realized it was one if your Lunas” Alpha Red shook his head.

Scott perused the poster again. Whoever drew this portrait of Margaret had surely never seen her before.

The portrait was smaller than Margaret's actual size. And she looked rather too feminine.

He wasn’t surprised to see it was set by the Dark Dragon Dynasty queen.

He was only confused on why? And why not all the sisters if she was trying to get back at him?

“How did you get this?”.

“I have a spy in that place. It’s good they aren’t in the forest alone. Something could have happened. That bounty is good” the Alpha responded.

“Then why does he need Margaret? And only Margaret?” Scott probed further.

Alpha Red shrugged. Not even his spy could answer him when he asked. It was just pasted around the kingdom.

Scott made a random guess that it could be because the Prince had met Margaret when she had captured his sister.

He never saw the other sisters and only had a vague memory of Margaret. It could also be why he came to the forest.

To exact revenge on her and her sisters. Walt scoffed on the thought. That prince would have to go through him to touch any of the girls.

“Thanks for this. Can they stay here for now?”.

Jackson began nodding immediately to Scott. It was an absolute blessing if he’s mate would be staying longer than a visit.
