Seriously, after all that yelling and wriggling on the ground, what he transmuted into was just a fugly, giant pitch-black wolf with one half-meter-long tail?
“I’ve seen unsightly wolves, but I’ve never seen one this ugly. Geez!” Phoenix said with disdain.
“I second that,” his mate chipped in.
He headed to the chair his mate formerly sat on, picked up the bowl of popcorn and sat down with legs crossed, “Dear, I’m rooting for you,”
She nodded before letting out just one tail. It casually moved about as she walked towards the massive black wolf snarling and set to pounce on her.
“Alpha Blake, don’t be so worked up. How about we talk before the fight?” she suggested with a grin. She got a vicious growl as an answer and nodded sagely, “I see, let’s battle then,”
She commenced running towards her opponent, her tail stretched forward in readiness to handle the foe. The black wolf let out a battle howl before rushing at her.
As they collided, the black wolf was slightly pushed back. Nonetheless, he wasn’t going to raise the white flag so fast. Growling, he headed for his opponent again. This time, she just stood in her spot, arms crossed with a lax look while her white tail gave the opponent serious lashes from many angles, despite being swift, the foe couldn’t elude any of the pestiferous hits.
Soon the black wolf fell to the ground, after missing its footing in an attempt to dodge her tail that was about to hit his back legs, but to his ire, the tail ultimately changed direction and hit him on the head.
Damn, this Olmpha!
Lavana’s foe undeterred, still got his feet, looking more sinister than before. Letting out a ferocious growl, he charged at his enemy with increased swiftness, confident that this time he’d eliminate her. The hits of the white tail no longer bothered him and he was able to dodge some of the lashes gifted by that pesky tail of hers.
In seconds, he’d closed in on her with his mouth wide open, ready to bite her.
Ultimately, she uncrossed her arms and raised her right hand.
Slap!
Her hand connected with the left part of the wolf’s face, sending her adversary flying backwards. He ended up in the ruins of his once mighty residence.
She walked majestically to her opponent who, despite losing some teeth and being wounded from falling into this pile of ruins, was still determined to attack her the moment he got to his feet.
Reaching the spot where the Alpha wolf was, her tail wrapped around his neck and raised him high up in the air. With a thought, her tail tautened its grip on the wolf’s neck.
He struggled frantically for a while but eventually gave up resisting due to the choking.
Her tails let go of the foe who had returned to human form.
“Alpha Blake, after frittering my time, this is all you can offer me?” she questioned with arms folded, a smirk on her face.
Notwithstanding being unable to move any of his limbs, the Alpha began to laugh queerly.
“Don’t be complacent too early, Lavana,” he cautioned before resuming his wild laughter. Although, he wondered how this Lavana’s mate suddenly changed from the ugly black-haired man he saw on screen days ago to this stunning man who didn’t hesitate to cheer for this cursed heiress and even throw some popcorn at him whenever possible, he, Blake Remmington wasn’t afraid. Even if there was another Lavana here, his heart wouldn’t waver. It was time to use his trump card and take down the rascals in one fell swoop.
“Get up and fight, or you can save me time by committing suicide,” Lavana proposed.
“Dream on, Olmpha! Hahaha!” with the energy he could muster, he took out a transparent bottle containing blood from the storage ring and downed the content quickly. Then he rose to his feet, looking at the female as if she was already deceased. Not that his opponent felt intimidated by any means. If anything, there was just perplexity on her face.
“What blood did he drink?” she questioned her mate telepathically.
“Well, I don’t really know. Still, no matter what he becomes, he can’t harm you,” her mate replied while eating popcorn.
“I know that,” she responded telepathically with her eyes still focused on her foe.
“Hey, what race’s blood is that?” she couldn’t help questioning the enemy.
“Easy. An Olmpha’s!” Alpha Blake replied with a snotty look, “Whatever I drank earlier when combined with your dunderhead father’s blood… Hahahaha!” he spread both hands as he laughed uncontrollably.
Without a heads-up, he began to increase in height and size. His eyes turned celadon and his fangs made their appearance, longer than that of an Alpha’s. Prominent black veins made their appearance all over his body in different patterns.
His red hair lengthened to almost his waist and his nails elongated, turning into red claws.
He looked down at her now that he was so many heads taller than her.
She shook her head with a sigh before increasing in height and size too, until she was a head taller than the opponent who wasn’t too shocked. If he could grow, so could she. But that wasn’t something to be scared about- the fact that she was a head taller.
“You thought I wouldn’t be able to do that?” she scornfully questioned with a cocked brow.
He gritted his teeth and balled his hands into fists, sweat forming on his head. His foe wondered what was wrong with him. Unexpectedly. tails shot out of his body one by one, numbering nine. And this time, unlike his son’s four tails at the triennial contest’s battleground that served as mere adornments, his tails were roving about!
Seeing his accomplishment, Alpha Chase chuckled evilly.
“Shocked, aren’t you?” he asked cockily before turning to Phoenix,” And you with magenta hair…”
“Mister Remington, I’m her mate,”
“I don’t care who you are, crackbrain. You’ll watch me tear your stinkpot of a mate into pieces, and I’ll have you eat her heart,” he declared conceitedly.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Alpha Blake, I’m just a spectator. Why’re you involving me in your issue?” Phoenix complained, rising from the chair with a glower.
The latter harrumphed vainly as a response.
“You’re fortunate,” Phoenix levitated and continued to eat the snack. The Alpha King was dumbfounded. What was he seeing? A flying man?
“Is he an Olmpha?” he questioned Lavana. That could be the only explanation.
“Why do you care?” Lavana’s mate asked with a lax tone, throwing some popcorn at the uneasy Blake. “I’m just an onlooker, like I earlier said. This is your matter, so you two settle it. Lavana my dear, care for some?” he asked, flying towards his mate to offer some of the snack.
“Nope,” she shook her head, “But a kiss is very much desired,”
“Naughty one,” he planted a kiss on her lips before flying higher, “Do your thing, I’ll watch from elsewhere,” he said before flying away fast, heading east.
Blake had a lot of unanswered questions in his heart but still, he couldn’t look wimpy in front of his sworn enemy. By all means, he had to destroy her and then find a way to send her mate down to hell, to accompany her.
“So you’re proud of those nine tails, just because they can move about?” she scoffed and her feet left the ground, “Can you do this?”
“Can you do this too?” she added as she formed two massive fire spheres.
“Are you capable of this?” she turned invisible and then visible again.
Her questions were like a bucket of cold water poured on him. Yes, the potion and Olmpha’s heart blood that he drank made him bigger, and stronger and surprisingly even gave him nine tails, the exact number that his enemy had. But still, it was clear the differences between them. The gifts that come with being a royal Olmpha were something he couldn’t get, no matter how much Olmpha blood he drank.
“You cursed McKenny’s seed, if you have the courage, fight me without any of those bonuses!” he said with a virulent tone. As long as she consented, he could send her straight to her loving parents!
“Ok, I agree,” the fire spheres in her hands dissipated and she stopped levitating, “Also, I will fight you with just this tail,” she added with an overweening look, her white tail lazily moving about.
