Spurned Luna’s Return: On Your Knees, Alpha Chase

“Alright, try it if you don’t want your head intact with the rest of your body anymore.”

“You…” Rolandro was rendered speechless.

“Go to sleep. I’ll be out soon.” Phoenix did not say another word and Rolandro miserably turned around. With a sigh of defeat, he headed back to the bed and sat, still pinching his nose.

“Gosh! Phoenix, why is your poop this smelly?” he muttered.

“Rolandro, if you can’t bear it, please wait outside.”

“Outside the room? Phoenix, I want to sleep and you’re doing this… *grunts* You just wanna frustrate me, don’t you?” Rolandro said unhappily.

“So what? If you can’t bear this, how can you dream of beating an Alpha?”

“Is inhaling the terrible smell of poop related to defeating an Alpha? Phoenix, you clearly wanna get on my nerves.”

“I already am, Rolandro.”

“Phoenix….” Rolandro gritted his teeth.

****

10 minutes later, Phoenix came out in a black bathrobe, holding a transparent bottle (containing black liquid) in his right hand.

Rolandro, who had managed to close his eyes and sleep less than a minute ago, was forced to awaken after the pungent smell struck his nose. It was 10 times worse than before!

“Phoenix, what did I do to you? Why are you intent on causing trouble?” he asked in ire after sitting up on the bed.

“I’m causing trouble?” Phoenix asked with an ‘innocent’ face. “I just took this out of the bathroom. Have a look.” he threw the bottle at Rolandro, who immediately dodged. It fell onto the bed, causing Rolandro to get off the bed.

Phoenix shook his head in pity. “Blind. You’re truly blind. This is something many would kill to get, but here you are, actively rejecting it. Ignorance!” he shook his head again.

“Thank you. I agree that I’m blind. Just find somewhere to conceal it. Where did you even get this thing from?”

“It’s not a thing, Rolandro. How I got it is also none of your business.” Phoenix picked it from the bed and walked closer to Rolandro, who retreated until his back touched the wall.

“This is good stuff for bathing. Don’t mind its smell. Once you use it, you’ll like it. Here, you can have it.”

“I don’t want.” Rolandro looked away. The smell of this thing was too strong. He could faint any moment.

“Sigh. Guess you have to experience what I mean.”

“You… What do you wanna do?” Rolandro asked in alarm. He had a bad feeling.

“Since you’re so ignorant. Why don’t you go bathe again?” Phoenix suddenly poured the contents of the bottle onto Rolandro’s hair, face and arms.

“Stop it.” Rolandro growled.

“Relax. Don’t you dare faint here or you’ll have to drink it. Now go and wash, then come back and sleep.”

“You… I won’t let you off.” Rolandro said as he rushed into the bathroom.

“Ignorance.” Phoenix chuckled and kept the bottle in his storage ring. “Hey, man. Don’t use any of the stuff in that bathroom. You’re not gonna like the results tomorrow morning. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” he said loudly.

“Gahh!” he heard Rolandro yell in frustration at the bathroom and Phoenix smirked.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Minutes later, Rolandro walked out with a sulky face. Phoenix was already asleep on the couch. Rolandro curled his fingers into fists and gritted his teeth. It was very annoying that he couldn’t use any of the things in the bathroom coz he was afraid of looking terrible tomorrow morning. And the smell in the bathroom almost killed him. Despite showering again, he still didn’t feel clean and felt uncomfortable. He’s really unlucky to be end up in the same room with this man. Why wasn’t he paired with Dante? Afer causing trouble, this nuisance is here sleeping peacefully with an angelic-looking face.

“Just you wait. I’ll teach you a lesson when I have the chance.” he swore in his heart. He headed to the bed and threw down the bedsheet in ire before lying on it. To him, the bedsheet was already contaminated since the cursed bottle came in contact with it.

He lay on the bed but kept awake coz of the smell. The air freshener in the room had done nothing to help. It was like a candle compared to a wildfire.

….

Next morning.

6: 03 am.

The door was being knocked hard severally by someone.

An annoyed Rolandro who just managed to get 30 minutes of sleep after staying awake the whole night woke up. He got off the bed and grudgingly walked to open the door. He saw that it was Zehelina.

“What is it? Can’t you see someone’s trying to get some sleep here?” he asked unhappily. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked like he wanted to kill someone. Still, the anxious Zehelina ignored that.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you but I have no choice.”

“No choice? *folds arms* What brought you here?” Rolandro asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“It’s Lavana.”

“Huh? What happened?”

“I think Phoenix might be needed more after all they are mates.” said Zehelina.

Hearing this, Rolandro immediately gave way and pointed behind him. “Go inside and wake him up. I’ll go see her condition first.” he instructed.

“O-Ok.” she rushed inside while Rolandro headed to room 1709.

Opening the door, he rushed in to see a levitating Lavana with glowing eyes.

He stood in his spot with eyes and mouth open.

What was he seeing? A flying Lavana? Maybe it was because he didn’t get enough sleep. Haha, that must be it. He rushed into the room’s bathroom and washed his face. Then dried it up with his shirt before coming out again. He still saw a flying female!

This time, however, it wasn’t the skinny Lavana that he’d earlier seen. It was a lady with much more meat on her body and taller. Her red hair was ankle length and she had really long claws. These were wolf claws, but he’d never seen anyone with those kind of claws, not even in his dreams or the records!

Just then, Phoenix and Zehelina rushed in. Zyair, Mel, Dante and Oliver came in seconds after.

All were shocked at the sight.

“Who’s this? Where’s Lavana?” Zyair asked.

“This lady has our pack’s tattoo. Is she Lavana then?” Mel asked.

“But how come? Lavana is skinny and not that tall.” Dante pointed out.

“How, then, do you explain the tattoo?” Zyair questioned.

“Gosh! This is confusing.” Oliver yanked his hair.

“Phoenix, is she your mate?” Oliver asked. All turned their attention to Lavana’s mate. It’s easier to confirm this lady’s identity with Phoenix here. Mates don’t deny each other even if they’re quarrelling.

“She is.” Phoenix replied.

” Alright. Tell us what’s going on with her then. Why is she looking like this and flying?.” Rolandro queried, with arms folded.

“This… I dunno,” Phoenix replied with worry. He then walked to his mate.

“Lavie honey, what’s wrong? Why’re you like this? What occurred? Did you encounter a powerful enemy?” he asked softly.

Lavana stopped levitating and her feet touched the floor. She looked at Phoenix, her eyes still glowing.

“Sullivan…” she whispered and started weeping bitterly.

“Come, come sit, my dear.” her mate urged softly. He made her sit on the bed with his hands placed on her shoulders. Then he also sat beside her.

“Dear, tell me what happened. Who made you like this? I’ll beat him for you.” he whispered.

Lavana’s cries increased and her body trembled. “Why? Why? Just why?”

“What happened, dear?” Phoenix asked again.

“Why both my parents had to die? They couldn’t even hold hands in their death. Austin and his pregnant mom, all of my people, were wiped out and I ended up at that damn Ralton pack as punching bag for 15 good years.” Lavana said with gritted teeth..

“Ralton?” the others looked at each other.

She was a slave in that evil pack? No wonder she was so skinny. This poor girl went through all that!

“That bastard rejected me. Why didn’t I have the strength and courage to do the same too at the time? Pamela even had to bear the pain for me.”

“Your wolf spirit? She really did that?” Phoenix asked.

“She did that. And they all helped me escape from that pack. Even though they give headaches a lot but I never hated them. But why? Just why?”

“Dear, what really happened? Did you have a nightmare?” her mate asked.

“A nightmare isn’t real, right? This is more than a nightmare. I lost them all. I lost my spirits, Phoenix. I lost them. They’re gone. They’re gone!” she wailed.

“What do you mean?” Phoenix asked in confusion.

“Phoenix, my spirits are dead. Dead!” she shrieked and rose from the bed, levitating again. Phoenix was thankful that before he entered the room, he had secretly set up an array. Nothing happening in this room could be heard by others.

“Lavana, calm down. You just had a nightmare. Come, rest on my lap. I’ll pet you. It’s not real. I’ll let you have beautiful dreams. Ok?” he whispered.

“Beautiful dreams. Sullivan, don’t you get it? I am a being without spirits. Nothing! Why?” she yelled.

“Lavana, calm down. We’ll go somewhere private and talk.”

“I’m gonna kill somebody,” she growled.

“No, you’ll not. Get down.” Phoenix requested.

“No. That stupid Alpha and his pack have to go down today,” she shouted.

“Stubborn,” Phoenix muttered before levitating, causing the onlookers to gasp. He’d decided that since they’d seen his mate was capable of flying, letting them know he could wasn’t that much of a big deal.

“He can fly too?” Dante asked in shock.

They’d seen many things today. Lavana’s eyes can glow, her hair can lengthen and change color, her claws are very long, she is not skinny as they thought, and Phoenix can fly just like her. And there were more secrets to unveil. As far as they knew, werewolves cannot fly or do any of the things Lavana just did. What the heck was going on?

“Guys, you must not worry too much. Go to the competition grounds. We’ll be back soon. Then I’ll explain to you all.” Phoenix said before holding his mate’s right hand and a golden light covered both of them. In seconds, both had vanished!

Zehelina fell to the floor in shock.

“B-Both of them vanished just like that?” she asked with trembling.

“This is unbelievable. Those two are actually power couples!” Zyair exclaimed.

“Rolandro, were her claws that long when she transformed in the training room?” Mel asked.

The latter shook his head. “Nope. Although her wolf is bigger than most Omega wolves, actually the size of a Delta wolf, her claws were normal.”

The others were stunned.

They’d been wondering how why this weak-looking Lavana was allowed to join their group to compete when she was an Omega. The fact about her wolf being the size of a Delta wolf already proved she was special.

“If her claws weren’t that long then, why now they’re that long?” Zyair asked in bafflement.

“Phoenix promised to explain when he returns. He is in the best position to help her right now. So we should do as he said. Focus on securing a spot for our pack in the competition today and when we return, we can get answers. Is that ok?” Rolandro asked with hands in his pockets.

“Noted.” the others replied. Oliver helped Zehelina to stand and then they all left the room.
