Chapter 74
His eyes suddenly glowed red and he tried to take off his clothes to no avail. They ripped off as his bones cracked and reformed. Soon, a majestic black Alpha wolf appeared. He shook his fur and stretched his legs. Then he turned east and began sprinting.
“Lavana, wait for me. Your Phoenix is coming. You must hold on.” he repeated in his heart.
“Don’t you worry. The moon goddess has shown us a sign. We will rescue her from the hands of death.” his wolf said.
“I don’t want her to be in pain anymore. It’s breaking me, River.”
“Me too, Sullivan. Me too.” his wolf replied with a sigh. No more words were heard from him as Phoenix chased after the glowing butterfly that the moon goddess had provided.
He must not lose track of it as he would never find his Lavana.
…
Bloodstar pack.
****
Everyone was apprehensive. They’d discovered that Beatrix and Lavana were missing with no clue to locate them. Mel was at the spot where Lavana last stood, wearing a nonplussed face. Even if she was kidnapped, at least, the smell should linger on outside of the pack but her scent abruptly ended here. He had never encountered a thing like this.
Her mate in particular was nowhere to be found either. What sort of temptation was this? By now Lavana should have sworn publicly and acknowledged being a member of this pack. Tomorrow, they were supposed to leave for the competition. Now all plans had to be put on hold!
He returned to meet the others who were still clueless. Rolandro took out his phone to make a call.
“Who are you calling?” his curious wife asked.
“Rixon.”
“That organization’s gonna milk us dry. I don’t think it’s gotten to that. Maybe they went out and will return.” a pack member chipped in.
“Stop dreaming. They are missing. Plus without her and her mate, our odds of even winning is super low. If we are destined to disband, so be it. But I’m not gonna let it happen with one person missing. If you were in danger, wouldn’t you hope to be saved?” Rolandro asked.
“Yes of course. But her mate in question, we’ve never seen him. What if he took them out?”
“Lavana wouldn’t leave without even a note.” Regina chipped in.
“Hey look. I just got this text from an unknown number. It says ‘Don’t you be worried. Lavana and Beatrix are with me at my place. We’ll meet you guys over there. There’ll still be enough time to acknowledge her into the pack. So relax.'”
Hearing this message all were relieved and also pissed at the same time. This mate of Lavana’s deserves a thrashing. How can he do this without even letting Mel or Rolandro know? How was he even able to leave the pack without any of them detecting it? And why did he text only now? Made them all worry for nothing!
“Alright. You can all retire to your homes to rest. Thank you for helping out.” Mel said with a smile.
When it was just Rolandro, Mel and their partners left, they all sighed.
“Regina, please pass me the phone.”
“Here, Darling.” she handed it to Mel who critically looked at the message with a sceptical face.
“It’s weird. We all just saw that guy for the 1st time when she introduced him to us. So how then did he get your number?” he asked, not understanding how it was possible.
“I don’t know. It’s baffling too.” Regina shrugged.
“That guy is not simple,” said Rolandro and the others nodded in agreement.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“So since Beatrix and Lavana are with him and he’s made a promise that he’ll join us there…” Carmelia got interrupted.
“Although I can’t fully trust him and don’t like him, he is her mate. Since he accepted her I want to believe that he won’t harm her and her sister. If it is otherwise, I’ll make sure to deal with him.” Rolandro said with a murderous aura.
“Hey baby, calm down. Let’s go arrange things. Hopefully, he’ll be there with her. But it’s not too safe to bring Beatrix there.” said Carmelia in anxiety.
“Maybe he has made arrangements? Sigh. We’ll meet tomorrow and then we’ll know.” said Mel.
“That guy needs to be punished for putting us all through this.” Regina chipped in.
“Well, we’ll know what to do tomorrow. Let’s split for now. We don’t want to forget anything we need for the trip.” said Rolandro.
“And how to pacify Pedro? After all his playmate just disappeared without saying a word of goodbye.” Regina questioned.
“Well, let’s get home first. We know what to say.” Carmelia responded with a smile.
…
Phoenix could not believe his eyes. Right before him was a vortex. This wasn’t some ordinary vortex for teleportation. This is the legendary type of vortex that led to another domain.
He’d read about it in books but never really encountered one. But here it was in front of him and the butterfly had vanished after reaching the spot he currently stood. That meant one thing.
To find his mate, he had to get into that vortex. The pain he was feeling, doubled and he almost knelt. He changed back into human and examined the vortex before him. Unlike normal teleportation vortexes that required a pass, this one here required a lot of energy to open and there could even be a possibility that this was a supreme vortex. This sort of vortex would not let outsiders in. The way to the kingdom of the wizards/witches was hidden behind an invisible array. Only one with power can get in. This vortex here was different from an array.
He sighed as he levitated from the cliff and flew slowly towards the vortex.
When he was 3 feet close, the vortex launched huge ice chains at him. He managed to dodge them by a hairbreadth retreating back to the cliff. The ice chains then turned to nothingness. Seeing this, Phoenix fell into despair. This was indeed a supreme vortex. Since he was an outsider, he couldn’t get into the domain behind it. He felt useless.
His mate was in there, suffering so much pain, but here he was stranded just outside of it, unable to do a thing. Unable to even see his mate! He fell to his knees and started weeping while clutching his chest.
