Chapter Forty-Eight – He’s flirting.
(Ancient route of the Red Mountains)
This was the third attack that day on the same road. The first had been ugly looking birds. The second were scratching rats. Now were vicious wolves.
“Scott, try subduing them. You’re the only Forbidden Forest wolf here” Alpha Red shouted to him, they had been separated by a fallen rock.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Scott quickly took off his robe and Walt came tearing out the remaining clothes. The wild wolves charged at him.
He threw one to a rock and bit the neck of another. The rest ferociously came forward. He slapped one to another and tore it’s head out.
Walt’s eyes shone red as he began growling, emitting his Alpha’s energy. The wolves stopped running, grunting and snarling at a slow pace.
“It’s working” Kyle murmured to his Alpha helping Red to be free from the boulder on him.
Just as the wolves were almost sitting still. Walt charged at them, tearing them apart and biting their heads out. He threw them at themselves burying his teeth at any wolf that came closed to him.
Kyle looked confused. The wolves were already submitting. Why didn’t he just let them be?
The last wolf that attempted running off was not spared as Walt pounced on it, choking it to death. It’s eyes popped out.
He growled angrily, his eyes flaming red looking for his next prey.
“Is he okay?” Kyle whispered.
Walt shook his head continuously till his eyes went back to their original color. He ran back behind a boulder and wore his robe with some shorts underneath.
“Are you okay?” Alpha Red consciously came from behind the rocks.
Scott nodded sternly buttoning his clothes, “I killed them cos they couldn’t be controlled. They’re under the dark energy. Those scums are controlling wolves too”.
He picked his nag and began stomping ahead.
“Dark dynasty are controlling wolves too?” Kyle couldn’t comprehend.
“Yes. Seems they want to add wolves to the animal slavery like they did to dragon bird. Scott would be really mad now. Don’t offend him”.
Alpha Red patted Kyle after the explanation and they followed behind Scott.
They ran out of water after going two days long with no streams. Only mountains. Hence the name. Kyle was literally sleep walking.
Alpha Red fiddled with a locket from time to time, whole holding unto Kyle so be wouldn’t fall.
“I bet your mate gave that to you. It seems important” Scott smirked.
Alpha Red smiled, “That woman can be flirty and annoying but she catches me off guard when she becomes romantic. I want the war to end, for her sake”.
Scott nodded understandably, pushing the empty backpack upwards. He wanted the war to end too, for his Lunas sake.
A small fire going up to the sky made Scott get more strength on his legs. It seemed like a farm pen with a small house besides it.
Two young girls chased themselves while playing with water from a bucket. Kyle looked at the water tastily. Offended it was being wasted.
“We’d stop there for tonight” Alpha Red announced, going down the mountains. Scott wanted to revolt. How’d they stay there?
Would they chase the owners of the house? But with seeing Alpha Red’s confidence and Kyle’s faith in his words, he followed along.
Alpha Red got there and started with a dramatic cough, to call their attention, followed by hair flip.
He stared with his dark eyes into the oldest sister’s eyes, “Hello, beautiful, we are travelers from Galdrish. Can we know where we are?”.
Scott shook his head. What’s he doing? Seeing the girls blush and compete for who’d stay in front of Alpha Red, Scott’s mouth dropped.
Kyle helped him push it back up. It wasn’t his first time seeing his Alpha’s flirty side. The youngest girl ran back into the house.
The oldest girl signaled for Alpha Red to follower her into the house. He, in turn, told Scott and Kyle to come in, with a proud smirk.
“It’s what he can do to get us a room. That’s why the moon goddess paired he and the Luna. They flirt, in different levels” Kyle chuckled.
The family welcomed them and gush about how they rarely see people passing by. They gave food and clean room and more water.
Scott still watched Alpha Red brooding the relationship between he and the oldest daughter. The girl smiled naively on his every word.
The proud wolf head finally sat down besides Scott and Kyle to eat, the family gives them privacy.
“I would surely not be telling your mate about our journey here” Scott sighed.
Alpha Red grinned while throwing food in his mouth, “Don’t tell her. I’d tell her. She’d laugh at how I’m naïve the girl is. Believe me”.
Scott felt terrible for his words. Yeah, when two players marry they talk about all their wins. He just ate silently.
“Breaking her heart before it is even grown. It hurts, Alpha” Kyle shook his head. Alpha Red rolled his eyes throwing more food.
“So, we don’t have any strategy to suggest to the Red Mountains. Should we just let them strategize?”. He looked at Scott and Kyle.
“They specialize in strategizing. Let’s just introduce them to our common enemy” Scott answered.
His strategy didn’t work last time. It almost did to the cursed queen arrived. It made him accept his poor strategical thinking.
“I’d kill the little Princess myself” Scott interrupted Alpha Red speaking. He turned apologetically at him, he hadn’t being listening.
“Well, they’re all dying. Have her then” Alpha Red shrugged.
They all three ate quietly for a while till the oldest daughter came in with three cups of fresh milk. Scott was amazed by the gesture.
Alpha Red was about giving a flirty thank you when her sister rushed in calling her attention outside.
“Stubborn goats again! I’d be back” the way her angry tone in the first sentence changed to a softer tone in the second made Scott eye roll.
“Help them with the goats. You maneuver animals. Oh, and don’t kill them this time” Kyle reminded.
Scott jumped from his seat to help. It was the least they could do for this family that had been blindly helping them.
The mother of the girls dragged a big horned goat towards it’s pen but it fought back to escape. It’s kid had already ran off.
Walt came closer to the surface and began radiating Alpha powers to the rowdy goats. He was careful for it not to affect the family.
The goats bleated in fear and ran back to their pens. The mother was shocked to see the big horned goat pulling itself to it’s pen.
“Thank you for the meal” Scott waved to her. She waved back and went back to milking a mother goat.
