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

Mel stood behind Oliver and mind linked his buddy who was behind Zyair.

“Man, that was serious! You know that guy almost became Alpha back then. How did you beat him that hard in just one punch?”

“Well, that… I don’t understand.” Rolandro replied.

“That bastard has reason to boast since he’s stronger than normal betas. I thought Phoenix or Lavana would be the one to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, it was you?” Mel asked again.

“I don’t know why I’m that strong now, but isn’t it better? We have to win this!” Rolandro said.

5 minutes later.

A middle-aged man dressed in a yellow suit walked into the registration hall and headed straight to Rolandro.

“Please, what’s your name?” he asked.

“Why are you asking me that?” Rolandro asked in ire.

“I’m Waylen Sebastian of Earth vine pack.” the man introduced.

“I know that,” Rolandro said with a frown, his arms folded. He wasn’t gonna bow his head to this upsilon wolf just because he belonged to the 7th ranked pack. He’s a Beta, closest to an Alpha. He had his pride.

Waylen cleared his throat. “There are rules in this competition. One of them is that one can fight only on the second day. But you eagerly broke it and inflicted such a serious injury on another soul. Hence, you cannot take part in the events today. Your group is disqualified.” the man said coldly.

“What? Why? Who decided this nonsense?” Rolandro barked. Since when was there ever such a rule?

“Didn’t you check the facts first before deciding?” Mel questioned in ire.

“Tell me your names.” Mr Waylen demanded again.

“We’re not telling you anything.” Zehelina barked. She felt like slapping this evil man.

“Well, since you don’t wanna tell me your name, it’s fine. By the tattoos, you should be Blood star pack.” he took out a notepad and wrote the pack name on it. “You miserable lot can go home now.” the man turned to walk away but Phoenix suddenly put out his leg and the man fell to the floor.

“Which bast*rd dared?” the man barked as he rose.

“I did.” Phoenix spoke out with a smug face.

“You… who are you?” Waylen asked in a rage.

“I’m Phoenix, your father.”

“You… The stupid pack you joined has disbanded and you wanna take out your anger on me? Do you know who I am?”

“Of course. You’re my son.” Phoenix replied, causing the man to raise his hand to punch him.

“If you want to live past this hour, put back your hand in your filthy pocket,” Phoenix ordered.

The others in the line thought Phoenix would still get punched but to their surprise, the man retracted his hand and immediately kneeled, pressing his palms together.

“Oh, what a dutiful son. Now slap yourself till my soulmate is satisfied. Make sure it’s loud and powerful enough to make you bleed, or I’ll gladly help you out. The problem is, if you can survive one slap from me, my son.” Phoenix moved forward as the line was progressing. To everyone’s shock, the man started slapping himself loudly even though he looked very much aggrieved.

“Phoenix, you did well. I’ll say the word.” Lavana whispered.

Phoenix refused her offer. “Nah. I wanna carry you like this. You’re light.”

“Oh. You’ve become addicted to carrying me.” she mind linked him in amusement.

“Which man wouldn’t love carrying his mate?” Phoenix asked telepathically and kissed her forehead.

“Your face is red, mate. Means I’m doing a good job.” Phoenix nodded.

“Don’t you dare do that again.” she covered her cheeks.NôvelDrama.Org content.

He kissed her lips briefly before asking.

“I shouldn’t do what?” he mind linked.

“Don’t do it in public.”

“Oh, my mate’s embarrassed. Such a marvellous sight to see. You know, the wiz king told me 4 years ago that if I finally meet the love of my life, I need to make her blush often, that it’s good for her heart.”

“I don’t want that.” she started struggling and he put her down with a sigh.

“Having a feisty mate has its ups and downs.”

“Are you saying I’m a disadvantage?”

“Nah. With you, there’s always the advantage. I can’t wait to become your husband.” Phoenix said and she nudged his stomach.

“Ow!” he feigned being hurt.

“Stop pretending!” she poked his sides.

“Hey, you two, why are you being all lovey-dovey here? Can you be serious? You think you’re the only couple here?” the clerk asked angrily.

“Sorry.” Lavana apologized.

“Why apologize? Someone who hasn’t found her mate and has become an abandoned commodity is tired of eating vinegar.” Phoenix walked to the desk.

“What are you here for? Get back in line!” she yelled.

“I won’t. It’s boring to stand in line for so long. That’s not my style. You attended to those scum with no complaint. After all, they’ll give you something.” Phoenix took out a bundle of money from his pocket, causing the others to widen their eyes. The notes were 1000 dollars each! Alphaless packs were always on a budget because of the limited money they got from the werewolf association, but this guy was ready to drop this huge amount that would go a long way in a pack’s expenses just like that? Which pack was he from? The Blood star pack, right? Many recalled he was the one who made that Mr Waylen slap himself until now.

The clerk’s eyes revealed shock but she quickly comported herself and looked away. “I don’t need your money. Get back in line.” she spat.

“Okay.” Phoenix tore the money to pieces and threw it all over her. She immediately stood up in ire.

“Why did you do that?”

“Why did I do what? Are you angry because I threw the money all over you or because I tore this little money?” he asked smugly.

“You…”

“An out-of-date keeps acting like she’s something. Sit back down and register my pack’s name and members.”

“But you guys are already disbanded. So it’s better you lot leave here this instant before I…”

“We’re not disbanded.” Phoenix interrupted her.

“I say you’re disbanded. You ugly man and your mate who looks worse than a scarecrow…”

“Don’t drag my mate into this,” Phoenix warned.

“What will you do? You’re just…”

She couldn’t continue her words coz she got a slap from him, causing everyone to gasp. Everyone saw that she now looked disfigured and was even bleeding from her ears and nose.

She wanted to scream but he raised his hand again, causing her to shut up.

“Now will you do as I say?” he asked as he sat on the desk, wiping his left hand with a white hanky which he then threw at her.

She nodded, with tears flowing down her cheeks. Lavana ran over to him with the others.

“Phoenix, why did you do that?” she asked.

“She deserved it. Favoring some group over another and putting her nose in what doesn’t concern her. Clearly, we haven’t been disbanded but she’s even unwilling to register us for the competition. Most importantly she insulted you. She should be glad I didn’t hurt her too much coz she’s a woman. A mere Omicron dares trample on our pride like this. How can we face those hoping to see us on screen back home? Whoever acts as an obstacle will be ruthlessly cleared off.” Phoenix spat.

“Just tell me your names.” the lady said grudgingly while holding her hurting left jaw.

They told her their names and she penned it down. Then she handed them jade plaques.

“Miss, I’m sorry for what my mate did but you had it coming. Don’t play favourites next time. Make sure to treat yourself and rest.” she handed the lady a small pearl secretly before leaving with the rest.

As for Waylen, he kept on slapping himself even though his face was already bloodied for 10 more minutes before he could finally stop. He tried to stand but ended up falling to the floor in exhaustion. He’d fainted.

The clerk called for help and two youths rushed in and took him away. She cleaned off the blood from her face and ears and managed to register all the people waiting for her, even yelling angrily at those who wanted to cut the line.

When she was done, she immediately rushed out of the hall, covering her face with a shawl, amidst chuckles from others..

When she reached a private place, she took out the pink pearl from her purse. This was a very rare pearl that would make her rich! Even her Alpha’s wealth can’t compare to what this pearl would fetch her. For a slap, she got this. It was worth it.

Thinking further, she reasoned that if she showed this pearl to her Alpha, he would even dump that ugly luna of his and make her the Luna instead. She would show him from whom she got this pearl and have that Phoenix and his group eliminated.

“Haha, Amira, you’re a genius. She complimented herself and rejoiced at the certain doom that awaited the Blood stars. They deserved it. She laughed hysterically but quickly stopped as her jaw really hurt. Yes, she was healing being a werewolf but her healing couldn’t be compared even to a gamma wolf. hence she needed to see a doctor to heal better and not leave any scars on her beautiful face.

As she turned around to leave, she suddenly gasped and retreated.

“You… how did you get here? How long have you been here?” she asked in fright.

“I can’t let an evil soul get hold of my mate’s precious things. You don’t deserve it, you despicable woman.”

Amira watched in shock as her purse opened by itself and the pearl flew out into his hand.

“If you dare let others know about this, know that you’ll die in that minute.” Phoenix threw a black pill into her open mouth and made her swallow it.

“Alright, I’m done here. Have a nice day, blobfish.” he vanished.

Amira fell to the ground. She couldn’t believe it. That Phoenix was a Beta wolf, right? But why could he make things levitate and even disappear? She just got a great opportunity to become Luna, but the pearl got snatched from her and she couldn’t even resist.

She immediately fainted from pain of heart.

Meanwhile, Phoenix’s clone that was in the male bathroom suddenly vanished after the real Phoenix appeared. He opened the door of the stall and exited after washing his hands.

He headed to where the others were seated in the stadium-like area. This was where today’s events would take place.

“Phoenix, you’re back,” Lavana said as her mate sat beside her.

“Yup. Did you miss me?” he asked with a smile.

“Nah,” she replied.

“Bad liar. Look at your cheeks.” he pointed out.

“But I’m not blushing.” she touched her cheeks.

“I didn’t say you were, kitten.” he touched her nose.

“You two be serious.” Rolandro chided.

“Jealousy isn’t good,” Phoenix said before pecking his mate’s cheek. Rolandro looked away. He shouldn’t bother with this shameless couple or he’ll just bring unnecessary headaches to himself.
