Chapter Fifty-One – A Beta’s daughter.
(Ancient route of Red Mountains)
The family had bought the excuse of looking for ortis nearby the red Mountains.
They even added extra advice on going round the mountains to obtain the plant as the Beta’s daughter was always on watch at the border.
But the trio where heading towards the mountains so the advice wasn’t needed. They could already see the mountains.
They were covered in green and red shrubs. It was once covered in only red shrubs but it seemed they learnt farming as means of survival.
“The Beta’s daughter” Kyle pointed at a tall tower in the middle of the road, “Do you think she’d let us pass?”
Scott frowned. And why wouldn’t she? He hastened his steps towards the tower. An arrow directed at him made him make two cat wheels yack wards to save his life.
“She is attacking?” Alpha Red sighed. Kyle came in front of him, his eyes changing brown.
“Who are you three!” she roared jumping down from the tower with blood on her face. She held an arrow and it was readied to shoot.
“Alpha of the Blue Moon lack. Alpha of the Forbidden Forest” Aloha Red introduced, painting at himself, then Scott.
Scott wasn’t sure if he should be called the Alpha of the Forbidden Forest, he wants to hope his Alpha is alive. But he went along with it.
Alpha Red’s eyes flashed red, he trod towards the girl. Her knees weakened and she fell to the ground. Scott wanted to atop him, but Kyle held him.
“And you little one, would take us to your Alpha. We came here on serious business” Alpha Red continued.
The girl glared at him with hate as her own eyes flashed brown as she jumped up from the ground.
Alpha Red was taken aback when she kicked him backwards with her legs before climbing unto her tower.
“And if I refuse taking you to my Alpha?” she asked, daringly. Alpha Red clenched his fists in anger.
“Wait, we mean no harm. Just take us to him. It’s about the dark dynasty kingdom!” Scott declared.
She studied Scott cautiously before jumping down from her tower again, “Go forward. I’d use the mind link so he’d know you’re coming”.
“All of us are coming. Please, it’s important” Scott pleaded.
She frowned at Alpha Red and Kyle, her eyes glowed brown again, “Fine. But someone would be watching those two for me”.
Scott thanked her while pushing Alpha Red and Kyle forward. The two kept glaring at the girl while she didn’t mind, picking her arrows.
“She could resist my Alpha power? How?” Red gritted his teeth.
“She is a Beta’s daughter. A warrior. And descendant of the Red Mountains. That’s how” Scott reminded.
They were finally getting audience and shouldn’t jeopardize it. They’ve done so much to get here and have to make breakthrough.

Dwarfs had tendencies to enter into their inner spirit and cause destruction around.
They were noisy chattering careless creatures. And Jackson couldn’t believe he was dining with one.
When Evelyn had promised him she’d make fish soup for him for working hard all night creating pills from Han.
He was excited about it but now the greedy dwarf was already gulping half of the soul.
“This is so good, you’re a beautiful cook” Lu complimented.
Evelyn found herself blushing from the remarks. All the time she cooked in her uncle’s house. He never complimented her.
Timothy was always to busy and she saw her sisters’ compliments as being nice. This time she was elated.
“Oh, thanks” she shrugged casually.
Jackson sighed. And now the dwarf was making impressions on his mate, “What exactly can you help us with?”.
Lu slurped the remaining soup on his plate and wiped his mouth, “Everything. Weak point of army. Time to attack. Backyard routes. All”.
Margaret nodded. That was resourceful enough. A good sneak attack would need those details.
“Do you know anything about Chan?” Han coughed, staggering out of the cavern. The sisters rushed him and helped him to a seat.
Evelyn checked his temperature. He was hotter than normal, hotter than he had been yesterday. He wasn’t getting better but was just sustaining.
“Chan? That little devil. I didn’t want to rescue him from prison but I did. Still he didn’t even move” Lu shook his head.
The sisters looked each other and asked in unison, “Chan is in prison?”.
The dwarf nodded, “He was accused of deceiving the King on some blah blah. I don’t like that kid. His sword killed my clan”.
Han’s shoulders dropped, “Would he be killed? Maybe it’s because he let I and Margaret go that day. I knew the King would know”.
Lu shrugged. He didn’t care. He was actually really glad that division was happening between the Palace figures already.
“Look, you have to help us rescue that boy. We need him to save my brother’s life” Margaret explained to Lu.
Lu gazed at her like she had spoken Spanish. Why would he help them save the boy’s life? And why does their brother need him?
Lydia made a sort summary of Han’s condition. Han was displeased with a stranger knowing about his weakness before knowing him well enough. But he needed all the help he can get so didn’t complain.
“The boy didn’t leave when I tried helping him out. You’d need to go yourself to convince him” Lu said that being sure they wouldn’t go there.
Margaret looked at Han, swallowing some life sustaining pills. They weren’t life sustaining enough. He’d die in few days if he went on like that. Someone needed to bring Chan to him.
She shifted her gaze to Lydia. Lydia was mentally sick and if she encountered any problems, she’d just breakdown.
Evelyn had to stay behind to take care of Han.
Jackson couldn’t go as he said the King could sense werewolves. It was left to her alone. At least the boy had seen her before. And she knew what he looked like.
“I’d follow Lu to the Dark Dynasty to bring Chan to Han” Margaret stood up to announce. Lydia frowned at her dragging her down but she stood her grounds.
“You are crazy. If the King catches you, you’d be dead meat”. Lu screamed. And he wasn’t going back there after barely coming out alive.
“If Chan doesn’t come Han would be dead meat” Evelyn interrupted.
She looked at Margaret, “I don’t plan to trade a sibling for a sibling. But if you’re sure you can bring Chan to Han, please do it”.
Jackson stayed quiet, thinking off all the odds. This was one girl the Queen put a bounty on, if things go south, she wouldn’t be coming back.
“Don’t worry, I’d come back” she assured Han, holding his hands tightly.
