Chapter Twenty – Dwarfs in the forest.
(At the Cavern)
Scott tried his best to explain the threat of the dwarfs but Lydia, for some reasons wasn’t listening. She only spoke of ‘fleeing’.
“Lydia, for the one hundredth time, we can’t leave the animals and flee. Scott is responsible for them. And if the dwarfs come to the village?” Margaret countered for the hundredth time.
Evelyn whispered to Scott to hold them or they’d have a repeat fight. Han chuckled to that but Scott wasn’t finding anything funny.
“Lydia, please, let me put it this way. The dwarfs are after me, I have something they need. They’d come after me wherever I go” he exhaled
Her face scrunched, “So, it shouldn’t concern us” she was calmer.
“We are his Lunas, we are in this together” Margaret snapped.
Evelyn gave her a face but didn’t revolt. Scott looked embarrassed by her remark. He placed his head down and shook his head
“What is Luna again?” Han asked, the second time. They all fell silent.
“Well, if I am allowed to keep talking. Dwarfs being after Scott shouldn’t endanger us. Dwarfs being after the animals shouldn’t affect us either” Lydia rolled her eyes. Scott raised his head up and glared at her.
“Lydia, let’s help him. We are not leaving. We owe him” Evelyn interrupted as Scott wanted to say something.
It was settled. They wouldn’t leave the cavern. Only Scott is expected to. He could hear farer and could tracks the dwarfs.
He would inform the wolves pack alphas. And would inform his Werewolf Alpha later.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
The girls were surprised to know that Sarah, their friend that had once eloped with a wolf man, was the ‘mate’ of the Alpha Werewolf.
The more Scott referred to her as Luna Queen the more envious they became.
The whole village had mocked her for claiming to be a mate to some wolfman.
Well, it seemed she was actually having more fun than half the girls in the village.
“She has two sons!” Evelyn had to scream when Scott added. Sarah was really having a good life.
“To be honest, the Alpha isn’t at the forest now. But no one should know, especially the animals or they’ll grow worried” Scott added.
Lydia rolled her eyes. So she should be worried about animals getting worried?
“We’d stay in here and be conscious of any movements. We got it” Margaret assured.
Scott smiled at her which made her cheeks burn, “I’m really glad someone understands me” he said before leaving.
Margaret smiled stupidly till Lydia’s smug smile wiped her smile away.
“What? At least one of us is being a Luna to him?” she snapped, feeling proud.
Han was about asking the meaning of Luna for the third time when Margaret screamed at him, “Wife. It means wife”. He fell silent and just nodded.

Lu carefully came down from the dragon’s bird back. A little wolf was drinking water from a stream ahead of him.
If he could follow the wolf around for a while, he’d be sure that the wolf would meet up with the werewolf boy.
“Lay low” Lu patted the dragon bird’s beak. It made a small sound as response. Lu grabbed his small knife from his boot and crawled towards the wolf.
A bird had perched on the wolf and flew away, flapping it’s wings aggressively. This made the wolf run away.
Lu sighed tiredly, he looked up to see the bird perch back at it’s next high up at a tree. Had the bird communicated with the wolf?
“These animals act like they are under one community” he sighed as he climbed atop the dragon bird.
He stopped the bird from moving as he heard small footsteps. He flew down as he told the dragon bird to hide behind a boulder.
He peeked to see a red haired young man striding down towards the stream. He took in the man’s appearance for a while.
His flying red hair, muscular arms exposed by his sleeveless jacket. His small eyes and straight nose also brought defined features to face.
He didn’t gave an intimidating aura like an Alpha. He rather had a pretty innocent aura.
Yet, Lu knew this seemingly harmless boy can slit him in half. He was a werewolf, he had that aura alright.
He looked back at the dragon bird that looked like it was dozing off.
He tapped it’s head to bring it back to consciousness but it was a wrong move as the bird screeched angrily.
“Dang” Lu cursed as he ran away from the damned animal.
Scott stopped on his tracks and turned to where the screech sounds came from. He had heard the Dwarf and his ride arrive but he was too lazy to engage. But now…
“Shit, if I don’t die now. I’d surely kill that bird” Lu ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. He looked down on the ground skipping boulders and tree stumps.
Dust flew up into his eyes making him stagger, two black boots appearing on the ground before him. Of course, wolf’s speed.
Looking up, stretching to see the almost six foot figure before him, he groaned in anticipated pain.
“Kill me already, I’m guilty” he knelt down.
“Who sent you and what’s your name?” a sound of howling drowned Scott’s questions. Lu began fidgeting but Scott held his shoulders to prevent him from running.
“Those wolves sound hungry. You better answer fast” Scott’s eyes went a shade of red orange.
Lu stumbled to the ground, “The Dark Dragons. The Queen and Cold Prince. My name is Lu. Please let me go for I am only a servant!”.
He was beginning to feel an aura from the young werewolf. The man came closer to him and raised his head to meet his eyes.
“Let you go?”.
Lu’s eyes widened as he could hear the young man’s voice in his head. Only Alpha’s could do that. But this young man didn’t have a pack yet.
Dwarfs could get a pack link from werewolves and that was one gift they had.
“Return to your Queen with this message; if she wants to see me, she should bring her tiny self here. I’ll be a good host.
And Cold Prince; he should bring a sword for two”. Scott tossed the man backwards.
He looked up to find the dragon bird but it had long flown away.
“Guess you’d have to walk..” he looked down and didn’t see the dwarf. The way those creatures scurried and hid always surprised him.
Well, now he would be expecting guests. He needs to put his house in order and prepare refreshments.
