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

“Oh, so Lavana can shift into both a beautiful wolf and a sexy mermaid. Wow!” he gave a thumbs up while smiling.

“Hehe. You’ve got a sweet mouth. We all liked you from the moment you appeared. I like that instant you swore to the moon goddess and accepted us. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. It’s what I ought to do. I finally found my ideal mate, of course, I’ll do the right thing.”

“Okay. I’m retreating. Someone else is itching to speak too.” Lavana closed her eyes.

Phoenix thought he was about to hear Lavana’s angelic voice soon only for her eye to open and glow a different color. He was tongue-tied.

“Another eye color change?” he exclaimed, standing from his seat with an expression of disbelief.

Didn’t that mean that his mate was a…

“Hello, boy. Sit back down. I like talking to people eye to eye. Sit down.”

The voice this time was like that of a child but it held so much power. Subconsciously, he sat back down.

“Are you surprised? You don’t know all the facts and you just concluded Lavana’s a ‘perfect hybrid’. How dare you exclude me and not acknowledge my existence?”

“I… I…” he stuttered.

“Did I ask you to speak, Mr man?”

“Sorry.”

“Shut it. You know how fortunate you are?”

He nodded and then shook his head. He was confused. He wasn’t at all prepared for this.

“Lavana, is it fun? Why didn’t you tell me you had 3 spirits and that the third one is this eccentric?” he thought. He had no tears to shed.

“If you’d forsaken Lavana, do you know what would have occurred to you?”

He shook his head.

“Oceana intended to beat the vitality out of you. Pamela would cook you for dinner if she took over. And guess what I designed?”

“You’ll just kill me with one slap?” he said with a meek voice.

“Boy, you’re wrong. I intended to rid you of that third leg.”

Hearing this, he shuddered.

“I’m glad I made the right decision. Thank you for thinking so favourably of me.” he managed to say.

“Who thinks highly of you? Boy, don’t get ahead of yourself.”

“Yes, yes. What may I call you?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Thora. Call me Boss Thora.”

“Boss Thora.”

“Good boy. I’m withdrawing. Just know if you upset Lavana, you’ll hear from me. Am I clear?”

“Yes! Yes, Boss Thora.” he nodded vigorously.

“You are more compliant than Lavana herself. Come closer, boy,”

Phoenix obeyed.

“Get on your knees!”

Phoenix did not argue and just did as this Thora desired. He saw Lavana’s fingers turn into long claws. Thora told him to close his eyes and he did so.

The next thing he felt was pain in his forehead and under his eyelids. He gritted his teeth. Thora must have used one of the long sharp claws on his face.

After a short while, the pain subsided until it was completely gone. But his face felt a little hot.

“All done. Now open your eyes.”

He did so and saw her smiling with satisfaction.

“Take a look at yourself in the mirror, boy.”

Lavana’s eyes closed and when they re-opened, it was normal human eyes. Lavana was now in control. Seeing Phoenix’s face, she gasped and blood flowed from her nose.

“What happened?” Phoenix quickly rose in concern.

“No, nothing.” she turned to look away from him.

“Mate, you are bleeding.”

“It’s not a big deal. You should do as Thora said.”

Phoenix sighed and his ring glowed. A mirror appeared in his hand.

What he saw shocked him. Who was looking back at him? Is that him or maybe the mirror itself was playing pranks? His ring shone again and another mirror appeared in his hand after placing the first mirror on the table.

But he got the same result. The face looking back at him had a red moon mark on his forehead and four small circular purple marks each under his eyelids. He looked ten times more handsome than before.

“Lavana, what’s your third spirit?”

“You’re not mad at me for not telling you I’m actually a perfect tribrid?”

“A little but I’m not now. What’s Thora, I mean Boss Thora?”

“She’s a Millennium-old Dragon spirit,” Lavana replied with a sigh. She’d already cleaned off the blood that escaped her nostrils. Phoenix already knew why she had a nosebleed.

He had a face that would even make men turn gay!

“Okay, so you can shapeshift into a wolf, a mermaid and a dragon.” he remarked and she nodded.

“Okay. You only surpass me with one. Besides, having her means it’ll be easier to take vengeance.”

“Each comes with powers,” she disclosed.

A fireball appeared in her right hand.

“This is from Pamela.”

“Okay. Then I guess Oceana should be water?” he tried to speculate.

An ice chain appeared in Lavana’s left hand.

“Oh, ice. But you can still work with water.”

“Yeah, in a water body, I can launch many ice chains,” Lavana replied.

Both the ice chain and fireball were extinguished. She opened her mouth and spat out a ball of lightning. Phoenix dodged, somersaulting before landing again.

“Hey, you could have cautioned me!”

“Sorry.” she apologized.

“Fire, Ice, Lightning, that’s amazing. We make the best couple.” he smiled and brought her into a warm hug.

“We have a long way ahead of us. There’s still time to discover about each other.” he whispered while petting her hair.

“Mmm!” was her only reply as she enjoyed his petting.

“Do you think my siblings will still recognize me?”

“They should. We’d better go back before they worry to the point of illness.” She suggested.

“Yeah. But gimme a kiss first.”

“I don’t know how to.”

Phoenix broke the hug.

“I’m not saying you should kiss my lips though I know you very much want to.”

“Don’t assume the wrong things.” she turned away with heated cheeks.

“Okay, okay. If you don’t have the courage, you can let me kiss you.”

“I’ll do it myself.” she turned to look at him. He’s wearing that annoying smile this time.

“What? You don’t have the courage?”

“Who says so?” she tip-toed and planted a kiss on his forehead.

“Ah, I didn’t feel that.”

“You…”

“Are you yourself satisfied with it?”

“I…”

“Permit me to kiss you.”

“I…” she looked at his lips and it reminded her of strawberries. Of course, she wanted a taste but…

“Enjoy,” he said.

“W-What?” she asked in puzzlement.

The next thing, he put his hands around her waist and crashed his lips on hers. Lavana wanted to resist but soon stopped, wrapping her hands around him. They stopped minutes later to catch some air.

“How was it?” he asked.

“Amazing!” she replied without thinking but then turned away.

“You’re blushing harder. I don’t need to see your face to know that.”

“You meanie.” she turned around to point at him but this time his eyes had changed color to gold.

“Hello, little mate. I’m River, Phoenix’s wolf spirit.”

“Hello. You have a nice voice.” She commented.

“Thanks. I’m flattered, mate. Until the bond is complete, I won’t speak too much. And one piece of advice, add a little more meat. Coz on that special night, you’re gonna be thankful you had it. See ya sometime.”

Phoenix’s eyes closed and re-opened. His normal eyes could now be seen.

“Your wolf is a flirt.”

“So are all your spirits. Besides, Boss Thora is so terrifying.”

“She can hear you.” Lavana reminded.

“I know. But don’t let her take control unless it’s crucial. I nearly pissed my pants.” Phoenix confessed, causing her to laugh.

“Hey! Don’t laugh, this is a serious matter.”

“I know. It’s funny too. Okay, I heard you. Phoenix, while waiting for the day I can accept you officially, you know you have some work to do right?”

“Not just me. You do too. Just like the humans, courtship, dating. The marriage comes before the special night.”

“Must you think about that night?”

“It’s the day we become closest to one another.”

“You men only think with your crotch.” Lavana kicked him off the mountain. He flew back up with messy hair.

“Lavana, catch up with me if you can.”

“You…”

Dragon wings sprouted from her back and she started flying after Phoenix.

“If you win, I’ll play dress up but if I win…”

“You wanna beat this dragon?”

He heard a childish voice and knew he just shot himself in the foot. In a minute, she was ahead of him by a lot of metres. He suddenly turned around and yelled:

“I’m racing back to the mountain.”

Then he flew with all his might back to the mountain, only to find Lavana already seated on the chair she sat on earlier, with legs crossed.

“Dress up beautifully tomorrow when you visit. Remember, you must be beautiful.” she laughed.

“So I should look beautiful, uh? Noted, mate!” he nodded.

Earlier when he yelled he was going back, Thora who was in control suddenly stopped flying and used teleportation. In no time, she was already seated on this chair.

“Cheaters never win!” she giggled as she rose.

“I know. I was doomed to play dress up, the moment Boss Thora took control.” he soughed and his right index finger’s ring glowed. The chairs, table and mirrors disappeared.

“Let’s go back,” he said, taking hold of her right hand.

She nodded with a smile and both vanished from the mountain.
