The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 8

Chapter Nine – Law of forest.

Two men shrieked as they saw a snake slid by. It was the third wildlife creature they were seeing that passed them without attacking.

The forest and its river were called forbidden for a reason but Sylvester had still paid them to go into the forest to search for his nieces.

They were so blinded by the huge amount he gave that they broke their own law of trespassing the forbidden forest.

A squirrel ran through their legs while chasing after a nut and one of the men screamed his lungs out. The other looked horrified.

“Why do these animals not act like animals? Snakes are supposed to attack. Squirrels would avoid humans as much as possible. What’s wrong with these forest animals?” they wondered to themselves.

Well, the animals at that forest had an Alpha. An Alpha they believed wouldn’t let anyone hurt them.

They were also bonded by a law not to hurt anyone from the village as well. It was the new law of the forest.

“How can those girls be in this forest?” one of the men sighed tiredly.

He knew that the trio were always looking for trouble, but this was looking for death. Anything could happen at such a dark place.

“And you know how Sylvester is, what if he did something to them for them to run away?” the other added.

They looked at themselves. It wasn’t looking like a good idea bringing the poor girls back to their ruthless Uncle.

But the money he had offered, blinded them again. They held up their fire torches higher for better visibility. If they had to burn down the trees then they would.

No matter what had happened between the girls and their Uncle, they didn’t have to hide in the forest. Or worse could happen.

Evelyn was surprised that she could have one comfortable night at a forest, with no creatures creeping on her.

She opened her eyes rather to ray of sunlight. She shouldn’t have slept directly below the hole. But the rays gave her strength.

She ran outside to feel the morning breeze but was startled to see Scott outside the cave.

He had his chest opened and strange marking were on his spine. He turned and Evelyn quickly hid behind a tree.

He dipped something into the stream that separated his cave from theirs. The object looked like a calabash and had a small letter inside.

He played with the water for a while before his dog came out and cuddled him.

“I bet he thinks this place is his home that’s why he could stay without clothes” Evelyn grumbled.

She peeked at Scott and found he wasn’t there. She found him later on walking into his cave.

She scrutinized the letter in the calabash, it had blood stains. It made her blood run cold.

Scott acted too innocent to be bloody. But she couldn’t forget how he had controlled the Killer Wolves to let them go earlier.

Or how he had allowed his pet dog chase after Margaret and only appeared to save it from death.

No matter what, he was wild and no matter how sweet or harmless he seemed, they didn’t know him. Anything could happen.
