Chapter Sixteen – Dark Dragon.
The beds were amazing. As were the caves. Beautifully adorned with shells and stones. And it was looking like they’ve found a new life outside where they are used.
Evelyn finally found an alone time with her sister’s with Scott away to get herbs for Lydia’s injury. She made sure he was far gone before starting her meeting.
She first started with scolding them for their careless escapades and begging them to keep their adventurous spirit to a low.
They were in a protective cavern. They must be a reason Scott was here. It was better if they didn’t leave it just because he told them how to unlock it. For their own safety.
When she was sure they understand, she exhaled before starting the main problem in her head.
“Margaret!” she started sternly. Marg looked at her with sober eyes.
“I know you are excited to be his ‘Luna’ or whatever he called it but don’t get any silly ideas…”.
“Luna? He called Lydia, Luna. What does it mean?” Margaret interrupted. Lydia face palmed but she was curious on what it meant to.
“It means wife. He said we were all his Lunas so I guess it means wife” Evelyn answered.
Margaret exhaled, “At least he sees all of us as his wives”.
“But none of us actually are” Lydia admonished.
“Yes, Margaret don’t lose yourself. When the right man comes, you’d get a divorce and settle down. If not, we stay here single though married. He’s a wolfman, don’t forget” Evelyn emphasized.
Margaret sighed tiredly. Why couldn’t her sisters see this man as the overflowing husband material he was.
Immediately, Scott came back with the herbs. Evelyn ordered another meeting so that he too would get some things straight.
She knew it was pathetic to live off in the forest with a man but she’d plan something out. Her life was too precious to waste away.
“Oh, so this is like a contract marriage?” Scott summarized, after Evelyn’s warning-like-explanation. Lydia and Evelyn nodded. Margaret couldn’t unhear the sad tone in his voice.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“We’d be visiting you when we leave. So you won’t be lonely” she added out of impulse. She just wanted his face to brighten up, he obviously had been living a lonely life.
He smiled at her, “If you’d be leaving, you’d be leaving to your husband’s home. I don’t think you’d becoming back here again”. Margaret looked down.
“… ever” he continued, staring at Lydia.
She shrugged, “People come and go. Treasure the memories”.
Scott gave a small smile and left their midst.
Margaret eyed her sisters. They had to tell him they were in a fake marriage.
They should be grateful to him for rescuing them and act like his wives for a bit. Breaking his heart before a day as his wife was so uncalled for.
(Dark Dragon’s Forest)
A dwarfed man sneaked into a slim hole made by two rocks.
A shrill screech in the sky made his blood pump. He ran as fast as his short legs could carry him, panting words of prayers.
The shrill sound came again and he hid underneath a tree where the bird wouldn’t see him. He thanked the God for his height.
Unfortunately the bird landed and he knew his luck was running out. It’s gigantic claws dug through the ground and it’s wings brushed away leaves from trees.
His mouth dropped for he was seeing the legendary seven foot eagle called “Dark Dragon”. It’s owner never accepted it was just a very big eagle and called it a ‘dragon’.
The bird began catching a sent make the dwarf scurry to a small lake.
“Dark dragon, where are you?” a small voice called out. The dwarf tried hard to push the lump in his throat. If his Queen catches him, he’d surely be dead.
A young woman in a pink and black dress walked to the bird and patted his wings. The bird screeched loudly. It was intimidating with it’s height but the young woman smiled.
“Don’t worry about that dwarf. I know he is here somewhere” she smiled at the bird. The bird lowered it’s feathers and made small sounds.
“I know, you must be hungry. You’ll eat something else, okay?” she rubbed the birds head. She was speaking with the bird.
She raised a small necklace and turned around the forest to track the dwarf. She saw a little peony flower and got distracted.
“Oh, look dark dragon, a flower” she giggled like a child.
The dwarf rolled his eyes. Why was he running from this deluded little girl.
If not she was Queen of all the dark dragons and the heir to the dark dynasty, she wasn’t even capable of defending herself. And depended on her necklace to help her sense things.
The dwarf raised his head a little above the lake to breathe in air. He dived his head back in before she saw him but she already sensed him.
“Lu, my cute little dwarf, you know you can’t swim well. I’d say again, find me enough information about the boy’s new Luna. You found him away from his hiding place being dragged to the village by a girl. She must be his new obsession, his new weakness. You hear me, Lu?” the girl barked.
She became scary and squeezed the peony she had once been happy about.
The dwarf hurriedly came out from the lake and bowed to the girl, “Yes. My Queen. She doesn’t stay with her father anymore and people in the village say she has sisters. I’d find them all. I won’t disappoint you” he said with tiny stammers.
The girl smirked, “You better not. My pet dragon is hungry. He’ll always be. Don’t disappoint me” she climbed atop the bird and it carried her off to the sky.
It sent its shrill screech to the sky, making Lu’s body shiver.
He had to find information on the young werewolf boy. The boy is the only way to getting to his Queen’s arch enemy, The Alpha.
He won’t disappoint again. Or he’ll be a bird’s meal and he wasn’t ready for that.
