All Chapters of The Ruthless Alpha Queen.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

At the sight of the small fires outside small tents, Carlyle couldn't be pleased any more than he was at the moment. He had feared that he wouldn't find them there anymore, but there they were, like a beacon of hope, in the middle of nowhere.He reached for his doublet with his right hand to make sure he had brought the arrow with him. It was soon a panic session as he couldn't find the arrow that he was to use as his exhibit."No way..." he searched more vigorously and was about to bring in his left hand to join in the search. But then, he realized that his left hand had been a bit numb as it had been clinging to something so desperately. He looked to see the arrow in his left hand and realized that he had hidden his left hand in the long cloak the moment he had taken up the arrow. "Goodness..." he breathed a sigh of relief.With that sorted out, he confidently made his way towards the tent. He had been readying his words since he had set out on the nightly voyage to an unknown land

"What's happening here?" Lucian asked angrily with his brows furrowed at the both of them."What do you mean?" Anna asked back, wondering why he had shown up there and then, and why he was so curious to know what they were doing there.She had to had to admit that Roth had stepped a bit unusually closer to her, to help her perfect her posture, but then why was he getting so worked up about?"I meant..." Lucian's voice softened a bit, as he seemed to realized that it was awkward for him to get worked up in that scenario. "What are you both working on?"Anna looked on in slight embarrassment, as she felt some shame for him. He had probably come all the way down there to talk to her, most certainly, about their last uncannily romantic encounter, only to be met with the sight of her with another. With that scenario, it was becoming just a little clearer, what his intentions were for her."Sorry, I was just trying to help her fix her fighting postures and all that." Roth replied Lucian as

It was morning. Yet again.Anna couldn't recall waking up and feeling that great. She sat up in bed with youthful vigor. She no longer cringed at the thoughts of Lucian, and that was a good sign. In a flash, she reminisced on the feeling of his lips on hers. It was so smooth, so crisp, so effortless, so titillating, perhaps too titillating to be the first thing to be thinking of immediately after she got up. But then, his words had breathed some life back into her.Getting up to her feet, and seeing the dim lights of the early hours of the day, she recalled why she had woken in the first place. Someone had been knocking on her door.“No way…" she muttered to herself. There was no way it could be Lucian. He wasn't that idle and also wasn't that keen on expressing his passion. She hoped it wasn't Roth as she made for the door.“Barbara?” Anna had her eyes on the last person she expected to see so early in the morning. She was Barbara, and she could be awkward at times, but why was she s

The pain at the back of Anna's head woke her before the surrounding voices did. The voices were unclear and indistinct, as the faces were blurry. The sun had almost left the horizon completely when she opened her eyes, which had her wondering what was happening.Her memory was quick in recollecting the rapid progression of events that had led to her current state. But then, she didn't recall holding anything in her hands when she had been knocked out.She sensed what felt like an arrow in her right hand, and what felt like a bow in the other. How did she end up with such items? It all felt like some dream she was waking up to.Perhaps, she had fallen asleep at the stream side while waiting for Barbara. Perhaps, she thought, if she shut her eyes and opened it, everything would go back to normal with her, sitting by the stream side waiting for Barbara to come join her.She shut her eyes in hope but opened them to the same sight. Something was desperately off with the whole scenario. She

"You can't go see her now," Roth said to Elsa, as she was about to step towards the door. "You'll have to wait a bit longer.""Why's that?" Elsa asked with furrowed brows, wondering if there had been a new development in Anna's predicament."Lucian is still with her." Roth's mood seemed a bit down as he made mention of that. He had obviously run into Lucian while he had gone to see Anna."Oh..." Elsa expected that. Lucian had probably been having a hard time dealing with all that was going on. She regretted not going in to encourage him, as she was sure that her quietness at the meeting on the night before had probably given him a good impression of her. "It must be a really tough time being an alpha in this sort of situation.""And it must also, really be a tough time being a stray wolf in a new clan," Roth spoke with a disposition that depicted compassion if not grief."You believe she's innocent, don't you?" Elsa sat on her bed, wondering how long it was going to take Lucian to be
