Chapter Sixty-Four – Hunters in the forest.
(At the Forbidden Forest)
This was wrong in every way. Evelyn heard another gunshot and she held Timothy's neck tighter. Lydia kicked him on impulse.
“This forest isn’t for hunting! What part of that didn’t you understand!!” Evelyn yanked his hair till some dark strands laid on her hands.
Timothy winced trying to fight off her hands but his was tied behind him.
Chan ran back, breathing heavily, “The hunters had scattered in. I’m even scared of going close so they wouldn’t gun me down”.
Lydia slapped Timothy. Evelyn frowned at that but her little sister didn’t mind.
“You are just as horrible as your father, I’d tell you!” she yelled.
The young man pouted. He didn’t expect this. He had wanted to annoy Jackson, yes. But he didn’t bring all the hunters.
He just called a friend to help him catch that doe. He had a hunter’s pride that never left him let any lost catch go unfound.
But that friend had called all his team when Timothy had promised that the forest wasn’t dangerous. There was another gunshot.
“Scott would kill you when he comes back. As many animals that'd dead, you’d die as many times” Evelyn let go of his hair and went back to the cavern.
She shouldn’t bother herself too much about the animals. They’d still be hunted by their predators. She should worry about her sick brother.
“Chan, watch him. Lest he cause more harm” Lydia ordered Chan pointing at Timothy. Chan bowed in response.
He looked at himself wondering what made him bow. Lydia sprinted out of the cavern.
“Is it me or is Lydia feeling scary?” Timothy mumbled to Chan.
Han who was watching them sighed. Lydia had to be Scott’s mate. It confirmed everything. She was always getting his aura from time to time.
“Tim, that's a bad move. Just hope Scott is in good mood when back” Han joked. Timothy looked at him, eyes filled with regret.
Lydia sighted a pregnant wolf, hiding away from a hunter. It was the mother of the wolf pup who played with her.
She had never seen the wolf before but knew just by sensing. What’s with her?
She came in front of the hunter just when he wanted to cock his gun.
“This animal is under protection. Tell your men to leave this instant!” she commanded pointing towards the exit.
The man smirked holding up his gun to shoot past her, “I don’t usually listen to women. Why should I listen to one trying to steal my catch?”.
Lydia clenched her fists, shooting daggers from her eyes, “Listen to me, my dear. Or you’d never leave here alive”.
The hunter smiled till it began to fade when he saw Lydia meaning business. The aura coming from her made him lower his gin.
“Look, I don’t… want trouble. I’m just a… hunter” he stuttered.
