The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 86

Chapter Eighty-Seven – Mother.

(At the Forbidden Forest Entrance)

Margaret nodded to Jackson to bring down his dagger. Jackson stared at her in disbelief. They tied her younger brother to a tree!

“I am sorry, I actually saved him, you know!” Anya defended. She looked at her brother for support but he still closed his eyes, resting.

“No thanks” Chan spat and stormed off. Jackson followed him, pulling Margaret with him, “Wait, I'd speak with them” she stopped him.

Jackson let her go, look over at the King and Princess before taking Chan away. Anya groaned in dismay. Her whole plan failed.

“Thanks for saving me and the kids. I just realized that’s your horse” she started. Gerard was still resting his head on a tree, eyes shut.

He made no sound so his sister nudged him, You’re welcomed. I was sent to, actually” he referred to Anya. Anya smiled.

“Well, I'd be thanking her then. My apologies”, Margaret shifted to the girl, “Thank you, Anya. And Chan didn’t really need saving”.

The girl looked down offended, “I guess my mom said that to make me happy. He’s not my mate at all. She wasn’t under any influence when she said that” she muttered.

Margaret only made out ‘mate', her cheeks flushed, she suppressed the feeling and turn to Gerard, “Did you help me cos we’re mates?”.

His eyes finally opened, “Are we?”, Margaret raised a brow, weren’t they, “If we were, we both would feel a connection. Do you feel anything?”.

She exhaled, she'd thought too far, like if they weren’t. She didn’t feel anything, exactly. She didn’t love him, what’s she supposed to feel?

She didn’t meet his gaze, while shaking her head, “I feel nothing. Just I’m not scared of you and you can be fun. But what am I to feel?”.

The King didn’t know also, “Come around my kingdom sometimes. We’d find out” he threw his sister behind his horse.

“What?” was that an open invitation? What’d they do to find out. Her jaw clenched, “And your dark energy won’t hurt me?”. He shook his head.

She peered at his retreating figure, “Well, I don’t know. Evelyn wants us to leave. Maybe, I’d try” she rapped.

She felt embarrassed immediately agreeing to come over to his place. But she brushed it off and headed back home.

(At the Cavern)

Lydia packed the last badge of clothes in the bag. Where was Margaret? She needed her strong arms to lift the big things.

Evelyn marched into the room, surveying everything, she gave an approving nod then went to check Han’s temperature.

“Evelyn, Margaret, Lydia!”.

Evelyn froze. What was Timothy doing at their forest again? Scott was at his Vern when he heard Timothy’s voice. That man was back.

Scott’s voice was crooked, from arguing with Evelyn all afternoon, and he couldn’t walk as there was still in a healing hole in him.

Still, he dragged himself out. Jackson had once said Evelyn hunted in Timothy being the reason she wanted to leave. Was he here to take them with him?

He saw the man out, on a pretty white horse, the horse had the royal designs of Craitan, atop the horse, behind him was a lady.
