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

“Ooh, you think we’re age mates?” in a flash, Rome was already in front of Phoenix, frowning, “You dummy, I’m old enough to be your grandpa. If you don’t treat me with respect, I’m going to spank you,”

Phoenix glowered, “What sort of fetish is that? I’m a grown man!”

“Who cares?” Rome asked with a raised brow.

“Okay, let’s not argue anymore,” Phoenix got off the rock and sighed, “I’m sorry for offending you, Lord Rome,” he said with a low tone.

Rome harrumphed, “Lavana, your mate needs to work on his attitude and temper,”

“Look who’s talking!” Phoenix fired back.

“Lavana, are you seeing this?” Rome looked aggrieved.

“I am. You two get along so well. You can spend time bonding, I’ll go find something delicious for us all,” with that, she swam away at breakneck swiftness.

“Okay, now she isn’t here anymore. I’m not going to hold back. Phoenix or whatever you are, why do you think you are qualified to see me? Don’t give me the reason of being her mate,”

“I don’t want to fight you, Rome but if you piss me off, I’ll make you bald,” Phoenix warned.

Rome scoffed, “Ha! I’ve been looking for a worthy opponent for so long. Why don’t we battle? For Lavana’s sake, I won’t injure you too much,”

“You’re too confident,” Phoenix sneered.

In a flash, he was behind Rome and his peacock fan was placed near his neck.

Rome looked stunned for a short while but quickly recovered his calm, “I see. You’re Savage Lord, a prince, huh? But that still isn’t enough. How am I sure you won’t betray my Lavana’s trust? You don’t look reliable,”

“I will never do that to her, Rome,”

“Then make an oath. Swear that if you ever betray Lavana you will go blind for the rest of your life,” Rome said in a serious tone, “Marine folks take the mate stuff very seriously,” he disclosed.

Phoenix smiled and swore, “I, Phoenix Sullivan Atlantes, swear on this day with the honourable Lord Rome present, to never betray my mate. If I ever do that, may I go blind and die prematurely,”

At that, Rome smiled, “Good! I’m happy with you now. Let me take you to my cave. I’m sure you’ll like it. There’s also this new gemstone I found in the deepest trench. Maybe you might recognize it? It’s really good for wiz blood sceptres. I’ll give it to you as a gift if you like…”

…

An hour later,

Lavana and her mate left the cave with an enthusiastic Rome waving at them.

“Don’t worry, darlings, I’ll definitely be present for the wedding. Just prepare enough fish and fruit for me. Make sure they’re extra delicious, okay?”

“Sure, we will. Take care, Lord Rome!” Phoenix waved back and then held hands with his mate before they swam away.

At the surface, both were seated on a large rock. It wasn’t sunny, rather fresh air caressed their skin. A part of Lavana’s tail was in the water, fiddling with it.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“So what do you think of Rome?” she inquired.

“Um… he’s eccentric but I like him,” Phoenix replied, “I look forward to visiting him again actually. He knows quite a lot of things and I love learning new things,”

She nodded sagely, “That’s good then,”

“Who else would you like us to visit today,” he questioned.

“Um, we don’t really have to see the second person face to face.

When Beatrix and I came out, we stole some clothes from a house and wrote a note that we’d compensate in the future.

I just want to gift the person something as compensation along with a note of thanks. And after that, we’ll visit a human named Carl Smith. He fed and housed me and Beatrix for free. You think he can come to our wedding?”

“He knows about you both not being human?” he questioned with a cocked brow.

“Yeah. I had just recently become a tribrid back then. My body was still unstable. He wanted to take me to the hospital when I fell ill, but we insisted on the opposite. To stop him from doing as he wished, Beatrix had to show him proof that we weren’t human. Besides, when we left, he was terrified because he nearly died when my spirits surfaced. I want to apologise to him and then invite him to the wedding,”

“You know that’s risky, don’t you?”

“I do. But just this once, darling,” she pleaded.

“Okay. But he’s got to show some sort of effort if he’s attending,”

“Thank you, dear,” she planted a peck on his left cheek.

“After you turn back and you’re clothed, please wait for me here,” he got off the rock and levitated.

“Where are you going?” she inquired curiously.

“Um… I need to relieve myself,” he responded, “I need to pee,” he clarified.

She nodded in understanding, “Okay. Be back soon,”

He smiled, “Sure, babe,” with that, he flew away.

***

Four days to the wedding.

5 pm.

The couple were seated in the royal garden in a chosen pavilion that had only two chairs and a small round wooden table.

“Here, have this,” he fed her an Ah-Kilse fruit from the white bowl in his hand.

They were both relaxing after going to see a lot of vital officials of the kingdom to do a simple chore or two for them as the law required.

Ah-kilse fruit had become Lavana’s favourite now, so Phoenix got it for her.

“I’m a bit nervous. From my rough calculation, a lot of people will be present at our wedding. And for many of them, it will be their first time seeing me,” Lavana expressed her worry.

He stroked her hair, “Mate, I’m nervous too. It’s normal to be so. But things will go well and we can finally go on our honeymoon. Put those thoughts aside for now, dear. Just take in the fresh air, and the beautiful sight before you, and my manly scent,”

“You…” Lavana became amused.

“Have another, my princess,” he fed her another fruit and then planted a peck on her forehead.

“I love you, Phoenix,”

“Me too, darling,”

A few minutes later, Phoenix rose from the chair, “I suddenly feel a great urge to answer the call of nature,” he divulged and she nodded.

“Go on, dear,”

Phoenix walked a bit further from her sight and then after finding a good spot, lowered the front of his white pants and underwear to pee. As he was relieving himself, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

‘What’s happening?’ he thought in puzzlement but the pain suddenly increased and spread quickly all over his body to the point he was unable to move any part of his body.

He tried hard to grit his teeth but was unsuccessful.

“Ahhhh!” he let out a pitiful cry instead.
