Chapter Twenty-One – The Plan.
Lydia attempted to touch the wolf for the fourth time but it wriggled out of her hold.
“It doesn’t like you” Margaret spelt out.
Han chuckled but straightened out when Lydia frowned at him. She just wanted to be a bit friendly to it.
Since she has to live, for who knows how long, she might as well familiarize with her ‘husband’s’ pets.
Scott came back with some fruits in his bag so she stood up to help him get the bag down.
“No longer mad at me?” he asked as they brought down the bag. She scrunched her face. She couldn’t even remember being mad at him.
“If you meant my decision on my sisters and I staying away from the dwarfs, then yea. I still uphold that. Dwarfs are dangerous” she said, with a filtered British accent.
Scott smiled, “Well, too bad. He’d be visiting tomorrow”, Lydia flung her head at him. “With his ‘Dragon Queen’ of the Dark Dynasty”.
The last part was loud enough for the other siblings to hear.
“Dark Dynasty? The little girl who controls gigantic eagles? She’s coming here?” Han sounded excited.
Margaret pushed him down to the boulder to sit, “Why is the girl coming here?”.
The emphasis she put on ‘girl’ made Evelyn understand that she was being jealous, or insecure, or both.
“Yeah, why is the girl coming here?” Lydia had a more curious tone.
“Well, she’s the one sending the dwarfs. She needs something from me. And who knows, we could trap her here till the dwarfs hibernate” Scott said in a heartbeat.
The dwarfs hibernation period was coming. Not even a dragon can boss them around when they needed to hibernate.
The forest would be free at that point. That is, if the silly princess do not find another creature to enslave.
“So you think she’d come here, without backup, and you’d kidnap her till the dwarfs hibernate?” Evelyn’s face showed disappointment.
Scott pouted. He didn’t know how those things should go. He might have the information but not how to put the information. He wasn’t just an Alpha but a True Alpha.
Not to add that three full moons ago, he was just the Alpha’s Omega’s son. Combat and strategy would be new to him.
“I suppose you have a better violent-y kinda plan” he rolled his eyes. With her present aura, she’d need something more bloody satisfying.
Evelyn smiled contentedly and came forward to stand in front of them, pushing Scott away playfully.
“So, this Princess will not be alone, that’s for sure. She could be with an army as backup, laying ambush. Plan A, we’d lay ambush as well. Since we are protecting the forest, the forest will protect us. Wolves can also lay ambush around the soldiers. No matter what, those soldiers can’t a better formation than wolves, in their natural habitat. We surround her. You talk with her. While talking, Lydia would shoot her a drugged pin. Ask her for a walk deeper into the forest, and there we can kidnap her easy. Your wolves can have a meal from the dwarfs and soldiers. Plan B, if kidnap didn’t work, Margaret would release skunks to skunk-ify the whole please, we’d kidnap in the chaos”.
Evelyn spread her hands wide after her delivery.
Lydia started clapping, and nodding, “Love it. Especially the skunk part. I’d say we have it for plan A but no”.
Margaret also had a resolved look, she liked it. There was chaos, her middle name, she was in.
“You girls are really trouble. Your Uncle has been right all along” Han sighed.
Scott was still taking it all in. What did these girls think wolves were? Yes, they hunt and kill but to have a bloodbath on soldiers with weapons? It won’t be an easy feat.
“What do you think of your Lunas’ plan? Cool, eh?” Lydia nudged him, waking him from his trance.
His Lunas? Are they accepting the title now. He gazed at her for a while.
“What? You don’t like it?” Fury flickered in her eyes.
“I love it” he said slowly, not sure if he meant the plan or her gorgeous brown eyes he can’t divert his look from.
“Cool, then. We need to make the formation. And find skunks” Margaret clapped as she marched towards the exit.

The Cold Prince looked down at his injured little sister, crying on the ground.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
He clenched his sword tighter as he yelled, “Who sent you to assassinate the Drake Dragon Queen, you beast?”
The naked wolf man before him, with dirty brown hair and busted lips, only looked up to him and then his sister and brought his head down.
Cold Prince noticed his sister get up from the ground and charge towards him.
“Kill him, already. Why are you asking him questions you know he won’t answer. Kill him a already. Slit his throat” she shouted while attempting pulling her hair.
Some soldiers ran to her to stop her and helped her sit down back on the ground, despite her kicking and cursing at them.
A small chuckle from the wolfman, made Cold Prince to divert his stinging eyes away from his sister to him.
“You call that thirteen year old a Queen, Gerard? That trauma-driven bitch?” the wolfman suddenly spoke up. It was in a whisper.
Cold Prince stooped down to his level, “Who are you? And how’d do you know my name… and her age. Did the Alpha send you?”.
“What Alpha? We don’t have any Alpha anymore. My father was the last man to see him but now they two have disappeared. The Forbidden Land Pack is gone. And I came here on my own to exact revenge on our enemies”.
Cold Prince stood from his crouching position with a smirk on his face, “You must be the Beta’s son then. Without an Alpha, a wolf won’t live for long. And if your Alpha is possibly dead, then it means only that young werewolf boy knows the secret we need”.
The wolfman snapped his head to Cold Prince, “Young Wolf? Scott? Do not dare lay a finger on Scott. Or I’d kill you” he tried to free himself from the soldiers pinning him to the ground but failed.
Cold Prince burst into a humorless chuckle, before slashing the wolfman’s head off with his sword, cutting off a soldier’s finger in the process.
He didn’t care and wiped his sword with the hem of his cloak, “Saddle my horse. We have a boy to fetch”.
