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

“Damn it!” Duke punched a tree and it fell to the ground with a loud thud. “We’ve combed this damn forest and still haven’t found a trace of her.” he said to the unhappy duo before him.

“We had just this chance. This was a grand chance to become vampire kings and we just blew it like this. Unbelievable!” Martelio said in between pants.

“Maybe we should keep searching again?” Brian suggested.

They were close to the seashore and they recalled that the girl wanted to head to a water body before they could grab the chance to capture her at her weak moment.

Maybe she’ll surely come here?

They need not think for too long as they could hear the sounds of fast running.

“Seal your smell, brothers,” Duke ordered and the others obeyed. Now all three had hidden their rotten scent and hidden behind high shrubs.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Not long after, a running figure slowed down. It was Lavana, who was still carrying Beatrix on her back. The little girl opened her eyes at this moment and got down to stretch her legs.

“Hun, we made it. Look, there’s the sea!” Lavana exclaimed in excitement.

Words couldn’t describe the happiness she felt right now. She could finally get out of here. Hurray!

“Are we going to swim?” the little one asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Sure! I guarantee you that I’m an excellent swimmer.” Lavana said with pride.

Beatrix sized Lavana up in skepticism and sighed.

“It would be a fortunate thing if the currents do not sweep you to some dangerous place.”

“Are you doubting me, kiddo?”

“Nope. Just stating the facts. I also wouldn’t want to board a ship that, err… forget it. If you say you can hold up against the currents then it’s so. ,” Beatrix replied with a shrug.

Lavana thought it was because of her thin frame. Indeed, Beatrix, though slim, had more meat on her body than her. How unfair was life! Anyway, once she had settled among humans, she would slowly have more meat.

Just as they were about to walk forward, they perceived a rotten smell and it just got stronger by the second.

“Ew!” Beatrix spat on the ground while Lavana’s eyes widened in realization.

“Get on my back, quick!” she whispered, quickly going on one knee.

Beatrix didn’t ask questions. Either way, she had no desire to stay in this place with a rotten smell ruining the fresh air. Gah!

Lavana started heading towards the shore. The three vampires looked at each other and nodded.

They started running after them, easily overtaking them in less than 2 seconds.

“Hahaha! We finally found you, girl.” said Duke with a triumphant smirk.

“And you got a little witch for us. A witch’s blood is good too. Well done, ‘Lia’.” said Brian with insincere applause.

“You guys smell bad.” Beatrix blurted before covering her mouth. Gosh! These bastards smell terrible.

“Come with us. We have good work for you.” Martelio ordered.

Lavana sighed and whispered to the little one.

“Hug me tighter.”

“Ok!”

Doing so, Lavana turned to face the sea and ran towards it.

“You a’int escaping this time, young lady.” Duke ran after her, only for her to suddenly stop.

Duke wondered why she did so. Was she surrendering herself and the witch since she couldn’t swim?

Martelio, however, had a bad feeling.

Water suddenly rose from the sea and formed several long ice chains.

Duke’s eyes widened.

He’d forgotten how terrible those ice chains were. Now that she was by the sea, she had an endless supply of water to form ice chains that could strangle them until their life force was extinguished.

“Buddy, run!” Martelio shouted.

He turned around to escape with Brian, only for ice chains to wrap around their feet. They fell and tried to grab onto something, but the chilliness emitting from the ice chains seeped into their bodies till they had no strength to do anything.

Lavana used the chains to drag all three of them.

More ice chains were formed from the sea water and wrapped them from neck to feet.

They could only stare at her in terror.

“I can’t dirty the water and your blood is a disgusting thing to the ground. So I’ll just take your lives in a better way.” Lavana chuckled. Being in control was really good. That water she drank was also good too.

“Save it. We are immortal!” Martelio yelled. He was displeased at being unable to struggle free.

“Immortal?” Lavana asked with a raised eyebrow and broke into mirth.

“Hahaha, that is… so long as you aren’t exposed to heat or daylight, you’ll remain immortal. Everything has its own weakness, not even the strongest creature has one. You guys are pitiful and I feel that you need to experience the warmth a fire can give and the happiness of seeing the sun. I promise, you’ll ‘enjoy’ the feeling.” Lavana smirked and caused more ice chains to wrap them up. She stopped making ice chains and made the trio fly towards the sun.

They began to shriek and beg for leniency.

“I’m burning. Miss Lia, have mercy.”

“We promise not to disturb any of you ever again!”

“Mercy, Mercy! Ahh, I’m dying. My skin’s become rigid…”

The heat and light weren’t welcome to them, alright!

“Miss Lavana, please let them burn to ashes.” Beatrix suggested, after getting off Lavana’s back.

These bastards don’t deserve to live. If they let them go, they would harm other innocent people and once they became vampire kings, killing them would be out of question. Better to snuff out the evil from the root!

Lavana nodded.

“I suffered a lot because of them. Of course, I must pay them back.” she let them fall down to the ground hard and caused the ice chains to melt away. When they struggled to rise; she launched lightning balls at them, causing them to lie back down.

“We only chained you not torture you. What do you mean by this?” Brian spat, coughing out black blood that smelt so bad that Beatrix started retching. Lavana frowned and launched ice chains at his neck with one hand. She then pulled on it, causing him to try to loosen the chain.

“Let me go!” he managed to speak despite choking.

“I thought you begged for mercy last time. Is this the attitude of a beggar?” Lavana asked and tightened the ice chain even more. His partners on the ground had no energy to even raise their hands, say less of watch their friend’s plight.

“Just kill us if you want to. We aren’t interested in your torture. Just burn us to death, okay?” Martelio spat. He’s had enough of this.

“I suddenly don’t have the heart to kill you guys anymore. How about… cutting off your limbs. This is a better option, right Beatrix?”

The little girl simply gave a thumbs up while covering her mouth and nose with her left hand.

“Alright, let’s start,” she set fire to their clothing. While they were distracted and thinking how solve this problem, Beatrix cast a spell that made one feel like a thousand ants were eating their body from the inside.

Lavana gave Beatrix a baleful look as blood trickled down the corner of her small lips.

“What did I tell you?”

“That I could use my scepter whenver I want..” Beatrix replied.

Lavana rolled her eyes and caused water from the sea to rise and drench the trio. The fire had extinguished and before they could sigh, she launched several lightning balls at them. Their shriek of agony was piercing and she thought she almost went deaf.

“Bastard!” Beatrix spat and wanted to summon her scepter again, only for Lavana to smile meaningfully at her.

“Want a taste of these?”

“I was just joking,” the little one smiled so brightly that Lavana nodded.

“I’m not sadistic.”

She launched ice chains at their knees and tied them all together at a nearby tree.

“I wonder if I can make an ice sword.” she thought and decided to put her idea into practice.

She looked at the sea and raised both hands before clapping once with force. Immediately, the water rose and formed a small ice sword.

“Perfect!” she muttered before using it to cut off the vampires’ hands and feet.

“I decided to show you mercy. Beatrix, let’s go.” Lavana signalled to the little one who ran up to her and held her left hand.

“Get in the water.” Lavana commanded.

The little one sighed.

Seems she was really bent on swimming. Whatever, as long as they can get out of here, it’s fine.

She let go of Lavana’ s hand and ran into the water. When it was deep enough, she activated the underwater spell and dived in after a magical barrier surrounded her from head to toe.

Lavana looked at the trio. Their cut off limbs were regenerating fast to her shock. This was never in the records. Maybe that’s why they were immortal. She summoned another ice sword and used it to cut off their heads in three clean swipes while looking away. When she heard thuds on the ground, she braced herself to look back one last time to make sure she had really done the deed.

The three heads were indeed on the ground. Their eyes were wide open in shock.

Their headless body spasmed before laying flat on the ground.

She used another ice chain to bind their bodies together close to the fallen heads and sighed.

This was her first time killing. She felt a mix of emotions- happiness, doubt, sadness and relief.

She launched a big fireball to the corpses and watched them burn to ashes at a fast rate.

“This is what you deserve,” she muttered and steadied her mind.

They truly didn’t deserve to live; sparing them was wickedness in itself.

She looked at the forest once more and flashed a small smile.

She turned around and headed into the water. When it was deep enough, she dived in and swam forward for a while before finding Beatrix ( who was covered by a magical barrier all over) seated on a rock with folded arms.

“Shall we leave, miss Lavana?”

“Wait!” Lavana swam to hide behind another larger rock.

Beatrix’s eyes widened in realization.

“She could hear and talk underwater without a magical barrier?” she muttered in shock.

Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.

She turned around to see an orange-eyed, beautiful lady with a pink gemstone on her forehead, scales on her neck, cheeks and arms.

Her purple long hair covered her boobs, her blue lips were full and tempting the more she looked at them.

She looked down and saw a purple tail with silver spiral designs and large fins.

“Such a beautiful mermaid!” Beatrix thought in awe.

“Hello again, Beatrix. You like the new me?”

“Eh? You know my name?” Beatrix looked confused.

“Yup, dear. I’m Lavana.”

“What? You are miss Lavana?” Beatrix asked in disbelief and sized her up again.

That couldn’t be true. The miss Lavana she knew was skinny. But this one was slim but had more meat. How could one say the two of them were the same? Also, didn’t Lavana tell her she was an Omega? Many thoughts race through her mind.
