The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 12

Chapter Thirteen – Their reward.

Margaret gazed down at her youngest sister and she could see the sadness and fear welling up in her.

“It isn’t going to end this way” she said before stomping off. Evelyn followed her outside and noticed she wore forest boots. Meaning she could only be going one place.

“But how can Scott help us now?” she wondered to herself. Margaret kept her hopes high as she ventured deeper into the forest.

A howling nearby didn’t scare her but assured her she was getting closer. She knew that Scott was always with the wolves to make sure they didn’t get in trouble.

A snarling was made right behind her and she turned with a smile.

“Take me to Scott, please” she said politely. The wolf responded by growling loudly and then howling to his other pack members that he has found FOOD.

Margaret immediately sensed this and began running. With her high pitched screams she hoped Scott would find her.

(Galdrish. Camp of Galdrish Royal Soldiers)

A high ranking official in black full amour walks into an old dusty library with another junior ranked soldier.

They both climb a ladder to bring down a book holding files of their past soldiers. A young girl runs into the library shouting “father”. The high ranking official glared at her making her retreat, sadly.

“General, you haven’t been home for a while. Why don’t I handle this rewards while you go to your daughter and wife?” the junior soldier suggested.

The General acted like no one had spoken and carried down more books from shelves. When he had enough he goes to a seat and sat down.

“It is almost fifteen years. I don’t want to forget this man’s family like I forgot them before” the General said as he swiped through the pages of the book.

His junior sat beside him checking the other book he had brought down, “The soldiers Scarface and Xena?”.

The General nodded.

“You didn’t forget Scarface and Xena's children. It was reported that Scarface's elder brother, Sylvester, took them. The benefits were for children of dead soldiers with no other family. The girls still had their uncle so they’d live well”.

The junior nodded as he spoke.

The General disagreed, “They deserved the reward as they lost both parents in the war. Scarface had said his kids didn’t know his brother before as they didn’t like each other. The kids deserved all the help we got and I won’t wait till fifteen years to give them this pension reward”.

The junior nodded again. His superior had made up his mind so nothing can be done about it.

“I'd find Sylvester’s location and send the reward there” he saluted.

“Give it to Evelyn, Scarface’s eldest daughter. Scarface next of kin after his wife, Xena, was Evelyn, not Sylvester. Remember that. She is an adult now so can handle the money” the General said.

His junior saluted again and left.

“I hope you’d forgive me my dear Scarface for neglecting your children when you gave your life to save your village and General” the General mourned.

Margaret was still panting. Scott waited for her patiently to catch her breath before asking what in the hell brought her back to the forest.

“Lydia is about getting married” Margaret struggled to say. There was no visible surprise in Scott’s face.

“You have to help us. Role-play as someone trying to marry her. But…” she paused to catch her breath. Her breath hitched when she remembered that Scott needed money to marry Lydia. No man could marry a girl at their village without having loads if gold.
