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

“Lavana, are you feeling discomfort anywhere?” he asked in worry.

She nodded with gritted teeth. He quickly had her sit on the chair again.

“Ahh!” she yelped. A sharper pain had erupted this time. She opened her mouth, gasping for air.

“Lavana…” he called out in distress.

“Take me to the water.” she managed to say.

“Water?” Phoenix asked in confusion. Why was his mate requesting this when she felt this much pain? No, he can’t let her go on a second longer like this.

His left thumb ring lit up and a golden table made of oak wood appeared. Atop it was several bottles containing liquids of various colors. They each had a cork as their lids.

Phoenix quickly picked out one that contained a green liquid.

A glass appeared in his hand and he poured the liquid into the glass. It was filled to the brim.

“Mate, have this. It works well.”

“What’s this?” she asked.

“It’s a painkiller. It also has other effects good for the body. Here, drink it.” he encouraged.

She took the glass and had a taste of the liquid. Surprisingly, it tasted good and in no time, she finished the contents of the glass. The pain she felt in her body was immediately reduced by a lot. Now what she felt was just a dull pain in her belly. It was tolerable. By the time she returned the glass to her mate, the pain was totally gone.

Her face became rosy again and she grinned.

“Thank you so much, Phoenix. It really works. I don’t feel any pain now.”

“As long as you are fine, mate.” seeing that his mate was now okay, he sighed in relief.

“I have something to tell you.”

His ring lit again and another majestic chair appeared behind him. He sat on it. Now they were opposite each other, face-to-face.

“I’m all ears, Lavana.”

“Please promise you won’t get mad.”

“I won’t. Say it. I’m listening.”

“Okay.” She sighed and rubbed her palms together.

“Phoenix, I can’t accept you as my mate yet.”

Hearing this, he couldn’t believe his ears. She didn’t want to accept him. So she wanted to reject him? What in him did she not like? He can change for her!

“What? Why?”

“You are my second chance mate, Phoenix. You are a rejection pro, so you must know that both sides need to reject each other. My first chance mate was the son of the one who ruined my life. He rejected me and I escaped from there not long after. I will reject him during the competition.”

“The one that was postponed?”

“Yes. After that, I must avenge my parents and clansmen who died unjustly. Only then, can I complete the bond with you,” Lavana’s head hung on her shoulders and she played with her hair strands, biting her lower lip.

Phoenix sighed.

“Lavana, it’s alright. I will wait.”

“You’re not mad at me?”

“Nope. I can’t be mad at you.”

“Really?” she could not believe it. Phoenix wasn’t unhappy?

“Yeah. I’m not mad. Besides, who’s that bastard who hurt you from childhood and who is his son?”

“It’s the ex-Alpha, Blake.”

“The second-ranked ex-Alpha? Then the current Alpha is your ex-mate?” Phoenix asked.

She nodded, struggling to stop a tear from escaping her eyelid but still failed.

“Mate, it’s alright. I will help you take revenge on those two.”

“Not just them. I want every single one of them dead. Not even their newborns will be spared.”

Her tears now flowed freely.

“Lavana…”

“I will take revenge on them myself. That’s why I need to get stronger.”

“Mate…”

“Phoenix, I was so young but I had to see many of my kin dead. My favorite playmate, Austin… he was alongside his mom. She was pregnant. Do you know these bastards ripped her belly open? Her foetus was squashed to death. My parents could not even reach each other in their death. Austin had his heart pulled out. I was the only one left. I was taken to Ralton and served as a punching bag for over a decade. If I didn’t shift, I was destined to die there. Phoenix… do you know how often I had nightmares? I only saw my dead clansmen begging for revenge. I am alive. I must take revenge.” her shoulders were trembling at this point and her mate placed his hands on them.

“Lavana, calm down. You will take revenge but I’ll be by your side. I want to rip off Anita’s head with my bare hands. The crime she committed I will never forget it.” Phoenix’s eyes had changed to red and started glowing as he clenched his hands into fists.

“Are you saying she hurt you before?”

“Lavana, I’m a hybrid just like you. A perfect hybrid!”

“What?” Lavana was bewildered at his revelation.

“I am a perfect hybrid myself. That’s another reason I’m happy you’re my mate. I’m an Alpha wolf too.”

“Alpha?” she asked in shock.

“Yeah. But I’m a lone Alpha.”

“You’re a werewolf and wizard,” she muttered.

“I’m not a wizard. I’m a sorcerer.”

“Sorcerer?”

“I do hold the title of a wizard but I’m a sorcerer in truth. Wizards become warlocks after years of practising. Not all become one in their lifetime. But I’m a sorcerer, a rank higher than both and sorcerers isn’t something a wizard achieves. They are born. A warlock has to bow before a low-ranked sorcerer even.”

“So you’re a high-ranked sorcerer. Your family knows right?”

” Only the Wiz king knows. Besides, the fewer people know, the better. Sorcerers are as rare as perfect hybrids. According to the records, the last sorcerer appeared in the 14th century.”

“That’s…”

“We have a lot to talk about each other. We at least know that we have the same enemies. We are perfect hybrids and had a bad childhood.”

“What did that Blake’s wife do to you?” Lavana couldn’t help but ask.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“She destroyed my pack and sold the survivors to the human butchers. They ended up being killed for meat as they are weak and unable to return to their human form. Lavana, I witnessed her kill my mum and r*pe my dad while stabbing him in many places.

When she c*mmed, she stabbed my father’s heart. She forced me to watch everything and then she… she wanted to crush me down south but I was able to trick her and escape. I was hunted down for days until I accidentally met the Wiz king. He took me in and made me his prince.”

“That’s terrible. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

“Could that mean, Chase isn’t Blake’s son?”

“He is. They have resemblance don’t they?” he asked and she nodded.

“How old are you, Phoenix.”

“Would you believe me if I said I’m 40?”

“Nope. You don’t look like it.”

“Ok. I’m 28.”

“9 years difference,” she exclaimed.

“You’re 19.”

She nodded with a smile then he continued:

“My late dad was Anita’s ex-mate. He rejected her because he caught her cheating with someone two days after accepting her as his mate. She accepted his rejection and not long after, she found Alpha Blake her second chance mate. My dad then found my mum. She was a witch but he didn’t mind and neither did she care about people’s opinions.

But Anita didn’t have any kids after five years of marriage to Alpha Blake. Whereas my dad already had me. Out of spite, she came back to destroy my pack without warning. I and my uncle Robin were able to escape but he sacrificed his life to save me. I want to take revenge so bad but she has a black sorcerer behind her.”

“Black sorcerer?” she gasped.

“A black sorcerer’s just like a black wizard but more powerful. I don’t know how they came to ally but I can’t attack her without alerting that sorcerer. So just like you, I want to get stronger. You handle the ones who hurt you, I’ll handle that Anita.”

Lavana nodded. His eyes had stopped glowing the moment she touched his shoulders.

“Do the other two know you’re not their blood sibling?”

“Of course. My hair sticks out like a sore thumb and I won’t dye it. I’ve never. I told Peter and Beatrix myself at different times. They’d been thinking I was dying my hair.” he chuckled after saying this.

“But you’re so close. At least you met a family. And at least I also met the little angel. I’ve smiled with her a lot than all the time I stayed in that Ralton.”

“We’ll take revenge together and complete the mate bond. Don’t worry, the day is sooner than we think. We just need to get stronger.”

“Yeah. And by the way, someone says you should…” she couldn’t say the rest.

“Who’s that?”

“Pamela.. she says ‘prepare your waist.'” her face had turned red.

“Pamela? That’s the name of your wolf spirit? If that’s her wish, then I’ll work very hard for the awaited night.” he chuckled.

She blushed even more and managed to muster the strength to speak.

“I think you and your wolf spirit should talk to them for a while. I’ll be back”

She quickly closed her eyes and re-opened them after a few seconds. They had changed color now and were glowing.

“Hello, mate. Nice to meet you. I’m Pamela.”

“Nice to meet you too, Pamela. You must be Lavana’s wolf spirit?”

“Yeah. I’ll let you meet with the others. They are super anxious for this chance.”

“Okay. Take care.”

“Mmm!”

Lavana’s eyes closed again and then re-opened.

This time her eyes were glowing orange.

“Hello, Phoenix.”

He saw the voice had changed too.

“Hello. What’s your name?”

“I’m named Oceana.”

“Oceana. You’ve got a beautiful name. You are her other spirit?”

“Yeah. I’m her mermaid spirit.”
