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

A lot of preparations had to be made in the palace, and some vital rites had to be performed on the couple’s part before the big day.

Lavana also planned to inform Rome of her upcoming wedding. He had to be present in any way because he helped her and Beatrix find safe land. There was also Carl Smith, the restaurant owner who fed and housed them for free back then.

Alpha Zehelina Mockridge was learning excellently from those sent to teach her the ways of Alpha by the werewolf council. It wasn’t easy but she was resolved to prove that she wouldn’t be relying on the Olmpha’s might and fame to take the Blood Star Pack to new heights.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Blood Star pack was also busy as they’d gotten new land and properties to control and manage until their Alpha’s return. For now, Mel and Rolandro were in charge.

•••

2 weeks to the wedding…

Phoenix and his mate were above a water body, close to land. He was clad in only a blue swimming trunk, leaving his upper body bare. Lavana wore a slightly loose white gown with pale pink floral patterns at the hem.

“So this is where you and Beatrix came out from,” Phoenix stated.

She nodded, “Yeah. I wonder if he’ll be able to recognize me,” she voiced her concerns.

“I’m sure he would.,” Phoenix assured.

“Okay. Let’s get in,” she urged.

Holding hands, both cancelled their flying ability and dropped straight into the seawater.

Now underneath, they stopped holding hands. He quickly cast a transparent bubble around his head down to his neck. It allowed him to see clearer and also talk underwater without feeling suffocated.

He watched as light covered his mate entirely and by the time it faded, in place of her human form was her beautiful mermaid self.

His mate’s ears had become like an elf’s and her pink gemstone had made its appearance on her forehead.

Lavana’s red hair had become an amethyst colour with silver ends and it concealed her melons from his sight. Her eyes were now a tea rose colour and her lips a pale blue.

Her right shoulder sported a gleaming blue scallop shell tattoo. A few purple scales could be seen on her arms and belly. Her purple tail had silver spirals for adornment and large pink tail fins.

“Lavie, you look amazing as always,” he complimented.

“Thank you, baby,” she did a spin for him and then swam around him twice, eventually touching the sensitive spot on his waist.

“Stop it,” he whined but didn’t show any resistance.

She tittered, “I won’t tease you anymore, dear,”

“Where should we head?” he questioned as he looked around him.

Yeah, the view down here is indeed amazing and there was calm too. It made him wish he could be here forever to watch the beautiful sights the sea had to offer.

“We’ll come more often with Beatrix,” she reassured.

“Um, I want to see what all the water bodies in the world have to offer,” he exposed.

“For a start, we can go on an adventure underwater as our honeymoon,” she suggested and he responded with a nod.

“Newlywed wiz bloods are allowed three months off work to enjoy their honeymoon. Mom and Dad being royalties had six months off. They put his trusted aide in his place temporarily and he didn’t for once have any thoughts he shouldn’t have,” Phoenix disclosed.

“Oh,” she nodded sagely, “I see! How many months will Dad let us have then?”

“A year off,” he smilingly answered.

His mate’s eyes widened in shock, “What?”

“I’d like a year off to travel the world with you. I don’t want to go on any dangerous missions in our first year. I also want to see the birth of our first children, if possible. And I’ll give you the best pampering when you’re pregnant,”

“Em, that’s nice. Don’t think ahead too much. We’re not even married yet,”

“I know but in two weeks, I get to bed you so…”

“Let’s just go. Set your mind on other important things, Sullivan,” she sheepishly laughed.

“Ok, darling,” he held hands with her and she began swimming at a fast rate until they reached their destination half an hour later.

And there he was- Rome! He still looked as scary as ever but she knew he was a kind one underneath the scariness.

“Hello, friend! We meet again,” she smilingly announced to the large black fish with a few large golden scales scattered around its body. It had numerous fins, even on its head.

The sleeping Rome suddenly opened his glowing red eyes to see a beautiful mermaid and a magenta-haired human male swimming over to him.

“Lavana, is it you?” he questioned. Her voice was indeed familiar and even though she had a lot more meat now, her hair, tail and gemstone gave her out.

“Yeah, Rome, It’s me!” she replied excitedly.

“It’s a conscious sea monster. Actually, it’s my first time seeing one to be honest,” Phoenix said to his mate via mind link.

“Oh really!”

He nodded, “Yeah. This one’s high-ranked,”

“He’s got a name,” she corrected.

“I know. I just feel he’s capable of walking on land,”

“Really? He can use his tail fin to move on land?” she questioned telepathically her mate with a look of surprise.

“Hey, you two, I’m still alive, you know. And I can hear you,” Rome suddenly spoke with a tone of annoyance, “You disturbed my precious sleep and now you’re ignoring me? Not fair!”

“Sorry about that, Rome,” Phoenix apologized.

“Call me Lord Rome,” the fish insisted.

“…” His mate didn’t mention that this conscious fish was eccentric.

“You don’t want to? I’m going back to sleep,”

“Oh mighty Lord Rome, don’t be offended. We didn’t mean to ignore you,” Phoenix said with palms pressed together.

Rome harrumphed before white light covered him

By the time it faded, in place of the big fish was a white-haired, handsome young man with blue skin, grey eyes and pale red lips. His body had several golden sea shell tattoos that enhanced his beauty.

And, he was naked.

Unlike werewolves who were gifted with blurs by the moon goddess, this guy’s nudity was plain to see.

Lavana immediately turned away while her mate took out some clothes from his storage ring and swam over to the young man to hand them to him.

“Thank you,” Rome politely said after accepting the clothing.

When he was fully clothed, he told Lavana to turn around which she did immediately.

“Lavana, it’s good to see you again,” in the blink of an eye, Rome was in front of the mermaid. He didn’t dare hug her though. He wasn’t ready for a fight.

He swam around her as he made an inspection, often nodding his head.

“You look a little different,” he pointed out, “But I’ll still recognise you anywhere,”

“He’s your mate?” Rome asked, pointing to Phoenix who was now seated on a rock close by.

“Yeah, he is,” she smilingly replied.

Rome sagely nodded, “It’s good. Hey, you sitting on the rock!”

“I have a name and it’s Phoenix,” Lavana’s mate replied sulkily.

“Okay, you Phoenix guy, come over here, let me take a good look at you,”

“You don’t get to order me around, young man,” Phoenix scoffed. Who was this man putting on airs for?
