The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022: SIDE STORY (WILL): IN THE MOUNTAIN

"How can you get injury every so often?" Penny asked, she furrowed her brows because Jace was being reckless again on the monster hunt.

"I am not reckless, I took a bunch of young warriors, who have never been on a monster hunt before," Jace replied, he folded his sleeve and showed Penny the wound on his arm. There was a monster that had poison in their fang and his healing ability was not enough to heal the wound quickly.

If he let it be, the wound would fester and he would be in so much pain for the next few days until it healed, thus the quickest way was to have Penny to look after it. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

"They should assign more full fledge warriors to accompany you," Penny said with a sigh when she saw the wound.

"All of them were busy. We have our own assignment, you know."

The monsters in the Goffa mountain were not as abundance as in the north, but still, they had to do the ’clean up’ every now and then, because they couldn’t have the queen to do it all the time. The king would have killed them if they even suggested that.

Especially when they just have their daughter.

In the past, the king wouldn’t have imagined that he would have a child at all, because of what happened to him, but right now, he had a twin and an adorable daughter. Of course, people wouldn’t forget about their twin daughters.

"Yeah, still..." Penny said sullenly, as she cleaned up the wound and put an ointment, she also used her healing ability to make the process faster, yet Jace needed to come to her again. "You need to come see me two days from now, okay?" Penny bandaged his wound and patted his shoulder. "You can go now."

"Thank you, Penny."

Jace then went away, but he took a second glance at her before he left the room.

What he said was right. In the past, alpha Gill had this crazy idea to make all the women conceived, so he could have so many young children in a few years to help building a tunnel to the harbor, which resulted there were so many babies that were born in that year.

And now, those babies had grown up and the little children at that time had reached the age, where they could join the training, some of them had become a young warrior now.

Therefore, all the full fledge warriors were busy to train these little ones and the young one.

It was nice to know that they grew in number, since more than half of their population had wiped out during the war.

Well, at the very least, they could take an advantage of alpha Gill’s notorious method now.

The next time Jace went to Penny’s study room because the healer said so, Ania told him that Penny had gone to the mountain to gather more herbs, because they were running low of some of the herbs here, since there were so many young warriors and the children, who injured during the training.

"I think she forgot about that. Do you want to wait?" Ania asked, she was here to help with Penny along with the other girls.

Jace furrowed his brows. "Did she go alone?" he asked and didn’t like the answer.

"Yes, she went alone. She used to go alone to collect the herbs."

Jace knew about this, because Penny had done this a few times, but he always warned her to take some warriors with her when she went to the mountain, it was not really safe to go alone.

"Thank you, Ania," Jace said, he shifted into his beast and then headed toward the mountain.

Ania chuckled when she saw this. Penny actually didn’t forget about her appointment with Jace, she had told Ania to tell Jace to meet her in the evening, but the girl conveniently forgot to relay the message to the royal beta, thus it caused this.

"Sorry," Ania said to no one in particular, but she didn’t look sorry at all. She hummed, as she continued what she was doing.

And for Jace, it was not difficult to find Penny, because he knew the spot where she would visit and moreover, he could catch her scent from afar when the wind blew.

"What are you doing here?" Penny was surprised to see Jace.

"You forgot about the appointment," Jace said after he shifted back into his human form and pointed at his arm.

Penny furrowed her brows. "No. I didn’t." She shook her head. In her hands, she was holding a basket that filled with so many herbs. She only needed to find two more items and then she was done. "Didn’t Ania tell you to meet me in the evening?"
