Chapter 57
Peter had returned to the room not too long ago. The Tv was already switched off as Beatrix found it so displeasing. How can she be feeling worried but they are showing a comedy series? What nonsense! Was this the moment to giggle?
Angered, Peter took his scepter and pointed it at Lavana.
“I’m gonna teach you a lesson today, Lavana,” he yelled but at this moment, he saw her eyes turn orange.
He became confounded. How is it possible for a werewolf to have this pair of eyes? They didn’t even look like they belong to a wolf either. Was it because of her wolf that had firepower?
“So, you want to teach me a lesson, eh?” as she said this, ice chains came out of her hands and wrapped around Peter’s neck. They weren’t tight but the chill emanating from these chains around his neck spelt danger!
He opened his mouth in stupefaction. Didn’t she have fire powers? How come she can make ice chains too? What exactly was his brother’s mate?
“You say I’m undeserving to be your brother’s mate? I’m hideous? Lower than your servants?”
Lavana rose from the bed. A fireball appeared in her left hand. Peter’s eyes widened. What kind of Omega specie is this? It’s not even in the records!
“I’m gonna make sure you learn how to speak properly. If you are still obstinate, I can borrow your tongue.” more ice chains were launched at his neck and all the chains began to tighten.
He started choking. His scepter glowed brighter and launched fire at Lavana but she simply smiled. All the fire the scepter launched at her was absorbed into her fireball which became bigger. Peter’s eyes widened in shock.
If he were not choking here, he would love to slap or pinch himself to see if he was dreaming.
“I cautioned you, big bro,” Beatrix said before getting off the bed.
She walked to Peter and touched the ice chains on his neck. She cringed. The chains were so cold! Her brother’s skin was changing to blue slowly. If this continued…
She was thinking of how to calm this pissed Lavana when the fireball in her big sis’ left hand extinguished. The ice chains that were shrinking around Peter’s neck, vanished.
Beatrix looked at Lavana with a puzzled face.
The latter just sighed and sat back on the bed.
“Peter, if you don’t leave here his instant, I swear, I’ll make you 8 on my killed persons list,” Lavana said as she rubbed her palms. She no longer looked threatening but Peter knew she meant every word. Beatrix couldn’t believe what she was hearing. So the three vampires she killed that day made it 7 persons.
Her stupid big bro here was about to become next if she did not stop herself in time.
“La… Lavana,” Peter stuttered while clutching his neck.
“You are disobedient.” she stretched out her right hand and his radiant scepter flew into her hand.
Peter knew that she could hold his scepter without any repercussions. So he didn’t bother to resist.
He quickly rose from the floor and bowed his head in apology to Lavana.
“I’ll take my leave,” he said before vamoosing through the window.
“Hmph, I want to see how you can claim the scepter.” Lavana placed Peter’s scepter on the cupboard and told Beatrix to climb on the bed. She then covered the both of them with the blanket and sighed as she rested her head on the pillow.
“Rixie, did I frighten you? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I would not harm your family.”
“I know. You just wanted to teach him a lesson.” Beatrix replied in understanding.
Lavana nodded and rubbed the little girl’s head. Having a smart babe was very cool.
“Big sis, you said you’d read me bedtime stories. But you can’t read.”
“Er… that was to fend him off. I have promised to read you bedtime stories but I can’t. But I can tell you a story of a little girl then.”
Beatrix nodded happily. Reading bedtime stories and telling good tales have the same effect; the only difference was a book in hand with pictures.
“I’m all ears, big sis.”
“Alright.” Lavana cleared her throat.
“Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful girl named Pixie. She lived in a small community with her mom and dad. She had a wonderful playmate called Austin. His mom made very nice cakes. Pixie loved to go play with him every day. They went to the same school and sat close to each other. Austin can tell really great jokes and made Pixie very happy. Her dad once went to a show dressed like a princess with her. Her mom’s really pretty and a brilliant dancer. She also loves to travel when there’s a chance and she’d take Austin along for the journey…”
Minutes later.

“Austin and Pixie waved goodbye to each other. She also waved her parents goodbye. She followed the fairy godmother into the fantasy world. Occasionally, she would pay visits. She attended her parents’ marriage anniversaries, she attended Austin’s marriage, got married in the community and always… always…”
Lavana looked at the little one and saw that she was already asleep.
She smiled as she caressed her head gently, placing a kiss on Beatrix’s forehead before slowly leaving the bed.
Peter’s staff was still there, glowing as ever.
She looked around the room and walked to the window. Then she opened a part of it.
She looked at the starry sky and a tear slid down her right eye. She made a happy ending for a story with such a horrifying ending. None of the characters was even alive. Only Pixie was alive, only her. Someone robbed of a happy childhood and gifted terrible memories.
She clenched her hands into fists.
Alpha Blake!
Ralton pack!
Alpha Chase!
She must get stronger and take revenge.
She recalled that the little one was sensitive to aura changes and didn’t want to wake her up.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She scaled the window and closed it back gently. She looked around before walking to a large tree, hiding behind it. Her eyes soon changed color and dragon wings sprouted from her back. She flew upward to the sky with speed and headed south. Away from the pack.
She had nowhere in mind. She just wanted a place to let off some steam. She couldn’t trouble the sleeping Beatrix.
Thankfully, she saw a river after flying for over an hour.
She headed downwards, diving into the water body with a big splash. She looked around in the water. Her eyes had already changed to orange.
Her wings retracted and she hissed as her legs fused and transformed into a purple tail with large pink fins. The pink gem appeared on her forehead and the tattoos appeared on her belly and back.
She took off the remnants of her ripped clothing before starting to swim. This was no time to admire the view. She could do that some other time. She started swimming as fast as she could in the water, occasionally launching ice chains at annoying aquatic life that tried to get in her way. She continued racing until she no longer felt unhappy.
She slowed down and began to admire the life teeming underwater. Some were sleeping, some were awake and moving about. She grinned and waved at them before twirling around. She returned to her human form and stood on the riverbed. She closed her eyes for a moment and then re-opened them.
“Girl, you’re calm now. You want to learn how to dance?” Thora, who’d woken from slumber, asked.
“Dance?” Lavana scoffed. “I don’t want to dance. I want to practice some fighting moves instead.”
“Underwater? *chuckles* I suggest you dance instead. The moves that I know can only be taught when your dancing skills are medium level.”
Lavana sighed.
“What does dancing have to do with fighting?”
“Girl, you underestimate the power of dancing. If you’ve seen the battle dance, you’d change your mind.”
“Well, I have nothing else to do tonight. I’ll take your suggestion then.”
“Good. I’ll teach you the basics. But before that, let’s test how flexible you are. Last time, you were nothing to write home about. Since you’ve received some training from that Rolandro and also found our mate, there should be some improvements.”
“Er… before we commence, I have something to ask.”
“Ask away,”
“The moment Phoenix acknowledged me as eternal soulmate, I indeed felt this magical feeling for a short while, then pain was the next thing that greeted me. Tell me, what was that?”
“Oh, don’t you recall?”
“It’s the third dragon transformation phase?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
