The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 24

Chapter Twenty-Five – Little Queen’s threats.

Her chest was pumping up and down in unfiltered worry and determination, fear and anger.

She was the last dwarf Chief’s daughter. Her act made other dwarfs muster up courage and stepped out.

Lu tried holding them back but shame made him let them go. They’d all die without gaining a thing.

“If this isn’t the most touching thing, I don’t know. Staying true to one’s dignity, epic!” Cold Prince remarked blinking to let go of a fake tear.

Before the female dwarf could scoff at his actions, his sword had gone flying in the air. Six strikes below and one strike above.

What thudded down were the left arms of six dwarfs and the head of an elderly dwarf.

Blood splattered on his face. He nonchalantly wiped them off in disgust.

The victims flumped unto the ground and groans filled the room. Lu looked at his people in horror.

The others ran towards the door banging it loudly to free themselves.

Cold Prince strolled towards them, playing with the sword, “My verdict; Work in my farms and pens for three months, then I’d give you death you look for. As for the old dwarf, I respect old folks, so I granted his request. Bury him well”.

He threw the sword back to the boy. The boy bowed down, a pleasured grin dancing on his face and he looked down on the female dwarf.

“If you are in too much pain then… kill yourself” he flipped his hair to the side, making his dark eyes more visible.

He tarried his eyes on the female dwarf's black hair before reminding himself that he had another black haired female to punish.

He bounced out of the court room with the young boy behind him. Lu rushed besides the Chief’s daughter as her breathing slowed down.

Murder any from of murder – suicide, homicide, genocide – was a taboo in the dwarf tribe. Or else he would have taken away her pain.

But Lu swore in his heart that he must break that rule. He had to spill blood if he’s people would survive. And he had to avenge his people and ancestors.

A young dwarf held close to her the old dwarfs head. He was the oldest, before Lu. And he had just died for nothing.

(At the Cavern)

Scott tied the rope triple times to ensure the wimp didn’t run off again. She sent glares at him and he matched them with his.

She was rudely stubborn and didn’t look guilty. She looked scared. He could feel her fear. He tried his best to suppress his urges to enjoy it.

Han held his hands when he tried tying the rope the fourth time, “Stop. Her hands would break. She can’t escape now”.

Scott let go, returning his fiery eyes back to normal, they remained on the girl.

“Your brother is one stubborn ass to stomp his way into my forest” he grunted. “With soldiers. Giving me dead bodies”.

“You are lucky he didn’t find you or he would have…”

Evelyn slapped her, shutting her mouthpiece. Han looked offended and shuffled back into their caves.
