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

Occasionally, they stopped to either answer the call of nature or refill their tanks. Lavana’s stomach grumbled so much during the journey and they had to stop at a restaurant.

“Babe, I see you’ve eaten just some snacks along the way. Now we’re in a good place. So you can eat as much as you want. We might not get a place as good as this until we arrive.” Phoenix said.

“Okay. But I can’t read what’s on the menu.” Lavana said with a sigh.

“I know that. But there are pictures in it. So look at them. What are you allergic to?”

“Phoenix, none of them will give me an issue.” she replied.

“Great. Waiter!”

“Sir!” the waiter beside them answered.

“Everything on this menu, prepare them. Lavana, can you eat a plate of each?” he asked.

“Um… there are 20 dishes on the menu. A plate of each… maybe we can share them. You take ten, I take the other.”

“Girl, that tribulation on that island made you stronger and if I’m right, you eat a lot at this rate. So don’t be polite. I’m also accompanying you. Waiter, we need 3 plates of each. This table is large and can accommodate all. Also, I want to order a dish that’s not on the menu. Here.” Phonix gave him a piece of paper.

“Alright, sir. We’ll do our best to serve you.” the waiter said with a smile before leaving.

“Hey,” Dante walked over. “Phoenix, seriously? Didn’t you see the price tag? Simple looking as this restaurant is, the food here is very expensive. Look, the cheapest food here cost a 100 dollars.”

“It’s quality. You know it too.” Phoenix replied with arms folded.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Of course. But don’t you forget. We are on budget. We didn’t plan for this kind of meal along the way.”

“Well, that’s your problem.”

“It’s fine if you ordered 2 plates each. We’ll manage. But how can you go ahead and order 60 plates?” Dante questioned unhappily.

“61 actually.” Phoenix corrected.

“Man, are you trying to make us poor before the competition?”

“No. I don’t plan on making you poorer than this.”

“You…”

“Don’t worry. Tell Rolandro that the bill’s on me. You guys can order whatever you want.”

“You’ll pay?” Mel asked as he walked over.

“Yeah. Order whatever you really like. Take this as my apology for being rude earlier. What do you think?” Phoenix asked with a smirk.

“Alright. Waiter. Get me and my 5 buddies the most expensive dish you have. A plate each for each of us.”

“Yes, sir.” the nearby waiter responded.

“Thanks, Phoenix.” Mel smiled.

“It’s nothing. We’ll be one soon anyway.” Phoenix waved and Mel went away to join his buddy.

“Thanks!” they heard Rolandro say from his seat.

“You guys will be able to finish all the dishes you ordered?” Dante asked.

“Yeah. Why do you ask?” said Phoenix.

“Well, I thought even though we’re, um… *whispers* werewolves, two people can’t possibly finish that amount of food.

“It seems you don’t know Lavana.” said Mel as he patted Dante’s back.

“She’s the food lover here. Come on, man. Let’s go.” he pulled a reluctant Dante away.

Minutes later the waiters brought them their food. Dante watched as Lavana started eating. In minutes, everything on the table except two plates of food that Phoenix held were emptied. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked. A waiter even dropped the tray he was holding. What were they seeing? A super food lover!

“Mate, I thought I was the best glutton. Who knew you were the real deal?” Lavana’s mate planted a kiss on her face.

“Are you full yet?” he asked.

“I’m full already. The dishes were amazing.” Lavana licked her fingers clean.

“You’re sure?”

“Yeah. That other dish that you gave them the recipe was the best.” she gave him a thumbs up.”

“Anything for my mate.” he said with a smile.

“Um… I need to touch my make-up.”

“But you didn’t wear any.”

“Can you not point that out?”

“If you wanna relieve yourself, just say so. No need to be shy. Let me escort you.”

“No need. I don’t think men are allowed there.”

“Okay. Go on. I’ll settle the bill.”

Lavana walked to a waitress and asked where the restroom was. The waitress gave her directions with a smile and Lavana skipped away.

Phoenix rose after finishing the two dishes on the table. He called for two waiters to come clear the table, then headed to the counter to settle the bill.

“Sir, in total, your bill is…”

He interrupted the female chasier. “I want to see your boss.”

“My boss?” the cashier asked, looking slightly afraid.

“I want to see him.” Phoenix repeated.

“Well, he’s in his office upstairs. Do you want me to…”

“Nah, don’t worry. I’ll go see him myself.” he headed towards the stairs.

“Sir…” the chasier called out worriedly.

“I’ll take responsibility. He won’t blame you, dear.” Phoenix reassured with a smile and ascended the stairs. Upon reaching his destination, he kicked the door of the office open and entered.

“Who dares… Ah, Savage Lord!” the middle-aged man who owned the restaurant quickly ran to Phoenix and knelt before him, hands across his chest.

“Reymond greets you, Savage Lord!” the man said with trembling.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to punish someone. Get up.” Phoenix chuckled.

“Yes, yes. Thank you for your grace, my lord.” Mr Reymond quickly rose.

“I won’t spend much time here. Me and my buddies came over to eat and we um ordered a lot of food. I don’t have enough cash on me. However, I do have this.” Phoenix took out a fist sized glwoing white pearl. “I hope you can manage this.”

“Ah!” Reymond fell to his knees. “No, my lord. I can’t take this. This pearl can only be possesses by royalty.”

“Relax. This is not the royal pearl. Just take it. I can’t eat without paying. If my mate knows, she’ll skin me alive.”

“Eh? My lord, you have a mate now? This… Congratulations my lord.” he did obeisance.

“Get up. And here.” Phoenix put the pearl in his pocket. “It’s already with you. I won’t take it back. And um… sorry for how I treated your wife that day.” he said in a low tone.

Reymond thought he was seeing things. Was this really the wiz prince or a fake?

“I shouldn’t have had her stripped and thrown into the market square in this town. I should have just cut off one of her limbs and let her go with pride and honor.”

Reymond shivered. Yes, that was indeed the scary wiz prince not a fake.

“Hahaha, my wife did wrong. She deserved it. Thank you for showing mercy to her that day. You are the wisest, savage lord. Um… Please if you don’t mind. Can I see your mate?”

“My mate? You still need your eyes?”

“Hahaha. Of course, of course.” Reymond laughed nervously.

“Then, don’t cross the line. Also, delete the footage of me and the others who entered this place. I’ll come to check in a few days if you hid anything. I’ll surely reward you when I find out,” Phoenix smiled.

“Hahaha, trust me, my lord. I always obey till the end. Thank you for visiting me today. I feel honored.”

“No need to escort me out.” Phoenix said before leaving as Reymond waved.

Seeing that the scary figure was gone, Reymond sighed in relief. He was once a criminal but Phoenix spared him and even helped him escape and establish a business here that’s florishing. But his stupid wife cussed at Phoenix just because he visited without permission and disrupted their romantic monment. So Phoenix had her thrown in to the market square without clothing.

He immediately sent her to a remote village with no electricity to reflect on herself. She almost got him killed because of her impulsive actions. And after she came back a month ago, he made her a receptionist. He promised that if she behaved well, he would take her back with open arms. And she indeed didn’t cause trouble for him today. Also, he now knew Phoenix had a mate. This mate must be really good or else Phoenix won’t be so protective. He has a lot of enemies out there and if they find out, they might wanna capture her if he isn’t there.

All 8 of them had left the restaurant. Dante thanked Phoenix profusely. “So you’re this rich. You spent so much on us. I’ve never been this spoiled. Of course, this can’t compare to my mate. She spoils me the most.” Dante said with beaming eyes and Phoenix shook his head.

“If you’re missing that big-boobed woman that much, you can be on your way back right now.” Mel said.

“Hey, bro. It hasn’t come to that. This is to give myself motivation.” Dante hugged Mel from behind. “Don’t drive me away. Please!”

“Get off me.” Mel warned.

“Okay. I obey.” Dante stood behind Zyair.

“Motivation indeed.” Phoenix as he put his hand around Lavana’s waist.

“Well, you still won’t get her to sit with you for the rest of the trip.” Rolandro notified.

“You… But I paid the bill.” Phoenix exclaimed.

“And so?” Mel asked with folded arms.

“Oh, I see. You men are jealous of me…”

“Phoenix!” Lavana pulled at his ear.

“Hey, that hurts!” he sucked in his breath with one eye closed.

“You know what to do. Then I’ll let your ear be.”

“Rolandro, I’m sorry. I won’t speak out of line again. Please forgive me.”

“Lavana, just let him go. He’s born with a bad mouth. I’m used to it.” Rolandro said.
