The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 13

Chapter Fourteen – Marry Us.

Margaret dragged Scott carelessly across the forest. She was scared as other animals came out from their holes, trees and caves to watch her.

She was glad they didn’t attack, even if she didn’t know why. Didn’t Scott only control the wolves?

She couldn’t speak or read animal language but with the ‘expressions' of the animals, they looked confused why she was dragging Scott.

She calmed down and let him walk on his own. They still stared.

“They don’t see humans all the time” Scott explained. Margaret wasn’t satisfied but she pushed the thoughts aside and focused on heading home.

By now, Lydia would be making the marriage recitals. No matter how she rebellious she is, she wouldn’t want her sister making a marriage vow without keeping them.

“So let’s go over your plan” Scott tapped her shoulders. She turned to him.

“I’d tell your Uncle that I want to get married to all of you at once?”.

Margaret nodded.

“And he’d let me go with you three without dropping marital gifts?” Scott looked unsure.

“Threaten him if he doesn’t” Margaret assured.

Scott flinched, “In case you haven’t noticed, I am not a wild or violent person. As your father figure, it is only right he gains marital gifts before letting any of you go for marriage”.

Margaret was touched by his gentleness more and more.

“You make it sound like it is right to trade gifts for a bride” she said.

Even though she wouldn’t mind being traded for some gifts to be his bride. She shook the thought off and walked faster to her home.

On getting close, there was a racket.

Scott stood far away, not wanting to get thrown by some pans or something. It was obviously women quarreling so pans could be among the weapons of welfare.

“I knew Evelyn wouldn’t let Lydia go that way. I only hope she has a better plan than mine” Margaret smirked as she rushed into the house to know what exactly was going on.

The first things her eyes landed on where the gold bars shining from a silver box. Her eyes attracted to them cos why not.

She diverted her eyes to the man besides her sister. He looked familiar. Was he someone willing to marry Lydia off as well?

“Well, we don’t need your gifts as we have enough riches to marry your son ourselves” Evelyn shot back at Madam Lara.

“Wayward girls, wayward ladies. That’s what you three are” Madam Lara shouted at the top of her lungs.

“No, that’s what you are. Do you think I’d let your son live if I were his wife, huh?” Lydia shouted back.

The men; Sylvester, Reuben and Twisthat stayed quiet as the three women rained abuse on each other.

Twisthat only told himself he’d react when they go physical. The time soon came and slaps began flying through people’s faces.

Still he didn’t have the courage to speak.

Reuben rushed to avoid Lydia punching on his mother but received it himself. Was that the wife he was about marrying?

“Your useless mother gave birth to girls she couldn’t even train. No man would marry any of you. I’d make sure of that” Madam Lara threatened before leaving.
