The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 32

Chapter Thirty-Three – His Mate.

(At the Cavern)

Margaret paced around. They wasn’t nothing to do. No Scott. And the wolves were staying protecting the border.

She either stayed inside, and when inside they’d be no where else to go but out, and when out, same thing.

“You miss him already? Ha! You’re not a long distance friend then? I had this friend from Craitan I only saw per year. We survived” Evelyn laughed at Margaret's miserableness.

“Is it Scott making her that way?” Lydia looked cautiously at Margaret. Margaret slumped down at a chair. She fiddled with her hair while biting her nails.

“Before, all she did was try support him. Now he’s not here, she got nothing to do. She looks in love, IMO” Evelyn laughed louder.

Lydia was blank with a little pout but it seemed blank too. Hasn’t Margaret been the one who fell for boys first? It wasn’t new and won’t last.

Their marriage was arranged. None of them should add their feelings unto it, despite Scott being a whole package.

It was still an arranged marriage. They’d have normal lives after this. They deserved it.

“Look at you all being trapped in a marriage you can change gears” Han strolled into their midst. Margaret sighed.

“You sigh but I make sense. The monks then warned me not to get involved deeply with the Prince. My friend, Chan, had already been promised to their Queen by then” Han threw a stone into the river while reminiscing on the past. “I wonder how’s he’s doing with all this now. Maybe dead” he swallowed down the lump his throat was forming.

“Stop whining, Han. Scott isn’t bad. And that Prince, is just confused. The Kid get power and want everyone to know about it” it was Evelyn.

Margaret snickered on her use of ‘Kid'. She suddenly remembered that Evelyn was probably older than her husband, Scott.

She wondered if she was older than Scott as well. She never asked. Would it change the way he treated her?

“This would end in war. Blinded by greed, confused, whatever. But he won’t stop. And we shouldn’t get involved” Han said with finality.

Lydia seemed to have thought on his words for a bit. She was always the one advocating to stay out of trouble.

She’s well aware she’s in one but is unwilling to leave. To be honest, she felt doesn’t need much of their help.

He was strong and it’s really surprising to know he has two other packs he could always ask for help.

As a child, she always thought he was a orphan who played with her to combat loneliness. They were the ones who needed him.

She left to the cave and brought out red scarves, stones and shells. Those were what she had seen underneath Scott’s bed that made her realize their connection.

Their creations as kids. Lots of young promises were within those items. One that she involuntarily broke when she was taken away from him by her Uncle. Causing her head damages when he had fought back.

“You won’t be breaking any promise if we leave” Lydia turned to the voice that spoke behind her. It was Margaret having a done look.

She chuckled a little before falling on her bed, “It didn’t take much to realize that Scott was your childhood friend. After recognizing those stuffs, you know. Why didn’t you tell me?”.

Lydia shook from her frozen state and smiled in relief. She worried about telling Margaret. Margaret was one who easily misunderstood.

“Scott is just my childhood friend. And you have an obvious crush on him. I feared you’d misunderstood” she admitted.
