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

That explains why she was capable of flying! This means there are other abilities that this lass hadn’t shown her yet.

“You’re not the only one who can control trees, witchy,” Lavana spread her hands sideways and raised them up soon after. The heaps of fallen trees started levitating.

“Have a dose of your own medicine,” she made a pushing gesture, hurling them towards the queen who turned around and started to dodge. And those trees she evaded came back for her. A sneaky glance at Lavana showed that her enemy’s eyes had become those of a dragon’s, even the claws had appeared.

The exuded aura from her foe gave her chills for the first time. She required no one to point out that the last of Lavana’s tribrid identity was a true royal dragon. So her three forms were of royalty. How?

“Little girl, how about this?”

“Just shut up and calmly meet your end, witchy,” Lavana spat, making another pushing gesture after forcefully uprooting several more trees in addition to the ones already attacking the witch queen.

Having no other alternative, the spruce-haired woman put her book in her storage ring and tightly held her sceptre, “How about a draw today? None of us wins. We can battle another day,” she suggested with a thin smile.

Lavana didn’t respond, rather, her gemstone made an appearance on her forehead, gleaming. Mumbling inaudible words, Lavana disappeared and materialised behind the queen. She took the queen’s hat away with her left claws and tossed it far away, forcing the queen to gasp and turn around. One of the trees hit her back hard and Lavana vanished. After the first tree successfully hit her, three more from all sides hit her too, causing her to vomit blood as she dropped into the lake.

Lavana stopped controlling the trees and dived into the water, transforming into her perform but her dragon claws remained.

The weakened queen’s sceptre was healing its owner but Lavana launched an ice chain to it and pulled it into her right hand.”You… Arce…”

“Shut it!” Lavana launched a thick ice chain which wrapped around the woman’s neck tightly and she struggled to get it off to no avail. The sceptre in Lavana’s hands was vibrating, desperate to leave the grip of this foreign hand. But Lavana tightened her hold on it.

“You want to kill me. If I were weaker than you today, I’d be dead with an energy blast from you,”

“I…” The queen’s attempt to speak was cut off by her opponent.

“Although my mate wouldn’t let you,”

“He’s an Alpha… wolf,” the queen stated.

“And so? He shouldn’t attempt to protect me at all?” Lavana asked with a cocked brow.

“I…”

“I’ll ask you a few questions, if you answer well, I might let this battle end in a tie,”

The queen nodded. Anything for her life. As long as she survives, she’ll come for this bitch with great backup!

“Who sent you after me?”

“Anita Remmington,” the woman replied with difficulty.

“Okay. And you’re after me because I hurt that b*stard Chase?”

“Y-Yes… I mean not entirely. A greater part of me came after you because… I wanted to see how you’d fare in a battle against me as an Olmpha wolf,”

“Okay. Last question. Do you want to live?”

The witch queen nodded vigorously, “Please spare my life, my dear. I promise to never come after you again,”

Lavana nodded at the woman’s response, “I’ll spare your life but not your sceptre!” Lavana’s gemstone glowed and she vanished with the scepter.

“No…” The chains around the queen’s neck vanished too and she laboured to swim up to the surface.

She panted after managing to reach the shore. She took out a black mirror from her storage ring and tried to activate it, only for an ice chain to snatch it. She looked at the source and found Lavana still in her mermaid form but with dragon wings that helped her levitate.

“Please…”

“You wanna call for backup so soon,” Lavana stated as she held the mirror in her left hand.

“I…”

“Relax, I’ll spare your life but these two aren’t gonna be spared,” after saying this, Phoenix’s mate hit the mirror against the sceptre and it broke in two.

“No!” the queen cried out with her right hand outstretched, eventually dropping it in despair, “Please don’t ruin my sceptre,” she got to her knees and started to hit her head hard on the ground, “Please, I beg of you!” she cried.

Phoenix had once explained to Lavana that wiz bloods only have one sceptre for life, and if it is ruined, their lifespan will decrease by 30 years, in addition to other severe consequences that could lead to death. So that explains why the queen was so desperate.

But she wouldn’t become soft-hearted just because the queen now looked pitiful. If the roles were reversed, this woman wouldn’t even bat an eyelid before killing her.

“I’ll give you all my treasures, I can even be your spy and…”

“Not interested,” Lavana replied coldly, forcing the painite stone out of its place in the sceptre.

“No!” the queen shrieked as she witnessed her foe crush the gemstone to bits after damaging it with her dragon claws. The bits of the stone fell to the ground and the woman scurried to pick them up, trying to glue them back together to no avail.

“You!” she took out her spell book in great rage, “Both of us will go down!” she roared, as the pages of the now open book flipped to the one she was looking for.

As she hurriedly read the words on the page, Lavana cast a fireball at her, “Stubborn,” she muttered, vanishing and appearing behind the queen, hitting her across the face with her tail.

The queen closed the book and attempted to put it back in her storage ring but Lavana hurled an ice chain at the book, forcefully bringing it into her left hand, “Quite the weight,” she commented.

“Give it back!” the frenzied queen yelled, flying towards Lavana with swiftness, but Lavana simply teleported and appeared on the surface of the lake.

“Give me back my treasures!” the queen cried.

“You said I could take all your treasure, did you forget that?”Lavana questioned, wearing a phoney look of perplexity.

“Give it back to me!” the witch queen screamed, rushing toward Lavana who simply dived into the water.

“My book!” without hesitation, she dived into the water too but saw no trace of Lavana, “You child of a bitch! Return my treasures!” she cried after surfacing and seeing her foe levitating above the lake, with the drenched book and vibrating sceptre.

“Help me hold this for a while,” Lavana let go of the gem-less sceptre and it fell into the outstretched hands of the snivelling queen.

Lavana opened the book and it glistened, instantly becoming dry. “Wow! It’d be a pity to just ruin it. Do you fancy it, Phoenix?” she mind linked her mate.

“I don’t need that. But it can be kept as a trophy. Throw it to me!” Phoenix replied and Lavana threw the book in his direction with a lot of might.

“You…” the queen flew out of the water, wanting to head in the direction of her precious spell book, only for the dreaded ice chains to wrap around her neck once again, pulling her backwards quickly as she choked, struggling to liberate herself with no success.

“I believe, I didn’t give you permission to chase after it,” Lavana said, forcefully taking back the sceptre.

“Let…”

“Shh! I’m letting you go now,” the chains suffocating her vanished and she coughed heavily, clutching her hurting neck, her eyes still on the sceptre in her enemy’s hands.

“You’re worried about this? Remember, it’s no longer yours,” Lavana broke the vibrating sceptre in two. Even after doing this, she felt a force that was about to join the broken ends together. She looked at the woman and a smirk formed on her lips. Nodding sagely, she said, “I see. But you aren’t smart enough,” she launched an ice chain that bound the witch queen’s neck, tightening her grip and pulling the woman over to her.

“You know, these eyes of yours are very bothersome. I don’t think they should see tomorrow’s sunshine,” with that, Lavana poked her foe’s eyes with her claws, gouging them out as the queen let out a pitiful scream.

She put them in the queen’s mouth and forced her to swallow them. She then put the sceptre that was now in two parts in her hands.

“I’ve spared your life. If you want to keep it, is up to you, witchy. I told you, don’t laugh at me too early,” she used her tail to hit the queen, who had difficulty maintaining her levitation, into the water body.

After a few minutes, the queen did not resurface. She had taken her life by severally stabbing herself with the rough ends of the broken sceptre part in her right hand. It was no use trying to live, not when she knew the consequences awaiting her since her sceptre was broken, her beautiful eyes were gone… She couldn’t even see her treasured spellbook in her last moments. How cruel! But well, she couldn’t win against a dragon. Only a sorcerer or a high-ranked bird race called the phoenix (now extinct) could severely deal with a prideful dragon. It’s a pity she couldn’t relay her findings about the existence of a tribrid to anyone. It’s truly a pity…

Lavana returned to human, landing on the ground while exhaling deeply. This battle taught her a lot. One which was in battle, meet cruelty with cruelty. Clemency is not for everyone, certainly not for that witch queen. But since the queen was dead, there would be issues resulting from it. She heard applause behind her and quickly ran to hide behind a tree, poking only her head out.

“What?” her mate asked in amusement.

“You…” Lavana couldn’t find words to reply to her mate.

“Don’t be shy, I’ve seen it all. Err… excerpt one part. That will be on our wedding night,”

“You…” Lavana hid her face to hide her blush and pout.

Her mate shook his head and walked to the tree, taking out some female clothing made of silk. He then turned around, his right hand behind him with the clothes. “Come take them,”

“Promise you’ll not peek,”

He sighed, “I promise, Lavie,”

Hearing his affirmation, she took them and harrumphed before heading to the back of the tree. Stepping out a minute later, she asked her mate to turn around. Upon turning to look at her, Phoenix’s eyes sparkled, “Wow! They suit you well,” he praised. The white modest tunic that had double side slits really did justice to her. And the black ankle-length pants that were visible through the slits weren’t that loose on her.

“Thanks,” she shyly said, with her hands clasped behind her.

He inched closer to her and planted a peck on her forehead, “You did well, my dear” he said.

“But I took a long time in defeating her, didn’t I?” she asked.

“It’s your first battle with non-wolf blood. You did well,”

“Okay,” she nodded, “Uh, what do we do about these trees? I didn’t mean to…”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll ask my subordinates to clean this mess. And um… let’s go meet the others,”

She nodded her agreement, “Yeah, they must be worried.”

“Want to know one thing?” he asked as they both levitated.

“What?”

“Maybe next time, I’ll focus only on your face,”

“What do you mean?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It took a lot of effort to quench the lust. I had to take this,” he took out an empty bottle of which a bad smell wafted out.

She pinched her nose, “I think you should keep this information to yourself from now on. I haven’t complained about receiving the short end of the stick twice. You saw me nude and I haven’t…”

“If you want I can strip right now,”

“So why were you shy the other day?”

“That…” his lashes fluttered as his face and ears reddened.

“Look at you. Saying things you don’t have the courage to do,” she giggled.

“I can prove I’m courageous not only at fighting,” his eyes darkened.

“Husband, calm down,” she hugged him and he lowered his head to kiss her.

“Let’s make our kids 15,” he blurted after they broke the kiss.

“Eh? What do you think I am? A baby factory?”

“You said you didn’t mind having ten,”

“That’s the max. What do you mean by adding five more? Are you the one who’ll birth them?”

“Okay. Ten it is. I was just pulling your leg,” he laughed, lightly pinching her cheeks while she tried to maintain her angry face to no avail.

“What a cute bunny,” he tittered.

“What bunny? I’m a freaking dragon!” she hollered.

And so they engaged in a chase until Lavana caught up to her mate. Then they headed towards the road and found Rolandro and the others seated on the ground cross-legged.

On seeing that the couple was back, the 6 got to their feet and congratulated them.

“We were so worried,” Mel was the first to speak.

“But it’s all good now, isn’t it?” Phoenix asked in reply and the 6 nodded.

“So… how do we get to the hotel?” Zyair asked.
