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

“And also what about the road? We need to fill it up with something at least,” Rolandro pointed out. The road was badly damaged, and no car could pass as it is!

“Don’t fret. It’ll be taken care of. Let’s leave,” Phoenix said but the others still sported worried faces. He sighed, “My subordinates will help out to the best of their ability,”

“Subordinates?” Dante blurted out, eyes widened.

Lavana’s mate cocked a brow, “Is it that bizarre? I’m a person having underlings, okay? You guys just haven’t seen them. We can run back to the hotel. My mate and I just survived a tiring battle. We can’t really hold you all and fly. Sorry,”

“As long as you guys come back alive, that’s more than enough. Let’s use this chance to exercise,” Zyair took off his t-shirt, “I’ll run in wolf form. You two can sit on me to relax,” Zyair offered.

“No need,” Phoenix showed a rejection gesture, “Thanks though,” he smiled and Zyair nodded, putting his shirt back on.

“Alright, so let’s prepare. We’re gonna be sprinting all the way to our destination,” Phoenix stated as he and the others crouched, “On your marks, set, go!” he yelled and just as they started to run, a ball of dark magic dropped not too far from them, forcing them to halt in their tracks.

“Gosh! What’s this?” Oliver exclaimed as he panted. He was inches away from being hit by that disaster of a magic sphere. He looked at the couple in puzzlement. Isn’t that queen defeated?

“This isn’t the queen’s doing. She’s dead!” Lavana clarified.

“So this is another one,” Mel said, his eyes showing he was thinking.

“What’s with the wiz bloods today? Do they want to tire us all out? Why can’t they just mind their own f*cking business?” Dante complained while huffing.

“This person’s power is on a higher level than the queen’s,” Lavana divulged her observations.

“What?” the 5 cried out in astonishment.

“Lavana, you are fatigued by that old hag already. You’ve not even got a chance to rest and some stronger wiz blood is already coming? I wish I was stronger. I would immediately choke him to death!” Dante spat.

He knew that the wiz bloods coming after Lavana were from the evil wiz kingdom. The other wiz kingdom didn’t like meddling in other races’ affairs. He was disheartened that he couldn’t help out at all.

“Calm down,” Phoenix patted the heaving man’s left shoulder, “This wiz blood, Lavana cannot handle him at the moment,” he further affirmed what his mate earlier said.

“Then, let’s try running. Or… maybe you two find a way to escape. We’ll try our best to make it to the hotel. Let’s split!” Oliver proposed.

“No,” Phoenix shook his head, “All of us are this person’s target,”

The others sighed upon hearing this.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Olmpha, your friends will live if you step out to meet your end,” they heard a deep, masculine voice say.

“This one’s a man!” Zyair exclaimed. And judging by his voice, they could tell he was older than all of them.

“Old man, if I step out, you have to keep your word,” Lavana said in reply to the voice.

“Very well!” came the voice again.

“You are a sorcerer if I’m not wrong!” Phoenix suddenly spoke up.

A man attired in a hooded black robe with the upper part of his face masked, appeared behind them, “For an Alpha wolf, you are quite smart, or should I say, too knowledgeable,” he remarked, making the 7 turn around to look at him, “You will get a nice ‘reward’ once I’m done with that Olmpha,” the man said with a vain tone.

Phoenix stepped in front of the group, unhappiness etched on his face, “You aren’t touching my mate, old thing. I suggest you scram to wherever you crawled out from,” he warned.

In response, the man let out a mirth while slowly applauding, “Very funny! A mere Alpha wolf threatens me. What a day!” he suddenly wore a serious face, “Since you so much want to die, have fun with my men,” after he said this, 3 persons- one of them female- dressed in matching merlot attires materialised.

Unlike the man, they weren’t masked and they had vivid black lion tattoos on their necks. They surrounded the group, wearing devilish smirks.

“Master, we’ll handle the annoying six and play with them. The Olmpha is yours,” one of the men- a man with jade black hair and several scars on his otherwise handsome face- said with an alarming grin and the black-robed man immediately launched a ball of dark magic at him, instantly turning him to ashes. The other two looked unfazed as if this were everyday happenings. The idiot only had himself to blame for angering the master. However, Mel and co. were astonished. So easily, he… he turned someone into ashes? This was indeed a sorcerer. None of them was his match. What to do now?

“Olmpha, come out,” the man beckoned with an impish grin.

“Stay back and protect them, Lavie. I’ll deal with this stinky old fool,” said Phoenix as his feet left the ground, shocking the black-robed man, though he tried his best to hide it.

A flying Alpha wolf? That’s unheard of!

But still, even if this young man could surprisingly fly, that’s not sufficient to take on him, Antero Oswald! This Alpha wolf’s not even able to beat a Lycan, let alone harm his powerhouse self, an almighty sorcerer.

“Since you’re eager to perish so soon, go to hell first and wait for your mate at the gates!” the man spat, launching a dark magic ball at Phoenix much larger than the one with which he annihilated that unlucky subordinate just now. Lavana’s mate dodged the attack and several trees behind him, suffered the result, turning into ashes immediately.

At the same time, the other two subordinates who’d taken out their sceptres from their storage rings grinned as they stared at Zyair and co. as if they were finished. They, for now, wouldn’t kill the five men that were lower than the Olmpha but would torment them greatly. Their master said to toy with them until the Olmpha was dead and they would gladly do so. As for that stupid mate of hers, well, he’d be the first to go down and it’s an honour that he, an unworthy soul, died by their master’s hands.

Clothes ripped and bones snapped, cracked and rearranged as Rolandro and the other 4 pack mates shifted into their wolf forms, snarling and ready to pounce at the enemies. If they were really to go down, then they would take these scoundrels with them.

Lavana levitated and created two massive fireballs with her hands, “Phoenix, go on. I might be a little tired, but I can handle these nitwits!” she said telepathically to her mate and the latter nodded his concord.

At this juncture, the masked man cast another dark energy sphere towards Phoenix who didn’t even bother to elude. Rather, a thin, translucent golden shield appeared in front of him, absolving the attack.

“My mate is tired and I’ve been itching to meet you long ago. You’re not the only one with subordinates, old fool,” after Lavana’s mate said this, five men also materialised behind him, all of them tall, ripped, and attired in black leather robes with eburnean sashes tied around their waist. They all went to their knees while still in mid-air, hands across their chests with resolute faces.

“Greetings, Lord!” they saluted, with their heads slightly bowed. The wolves couldn’t believe what they were seeing. A magical shield and then 5 more people who can fly and also materialise and vanish as they wished- these were his subordinates? The two subordinates of the sorcerer were also astonished in their hearts. How come the Olmpha’s lowly mate had this kind of subordinates that even called him ‘Lord’? It didn’t make sense. As for Lavana, she was just awed by their appearance and wondered why they called him ‘Lord’ instead of ‘Master’ the way any subordinate would usually say. Still, she didn’t let her thoughts show on her face. The sorcerer was her mate’s to handle. If he needed her help in the end, then she would do so in a heartbeat, no matter how fatigued she was.

At Phoenix’s casual wave, the five men got back on their feet and assumed a fighting stance, facing the 2 evil subordinates.

“Quite a surprise,” the sorcerer crossed his arms with a look of interest, “you have ties with the wiz kingdom too. Unexpected, but, six against my two lovely underlings, it’s too unfair, right? Why not spice things up a little bit, huh?” he laughed, conceitedly doing a finger snap with his left hand.

Immediately 20 others- 6 females and 14 men of various shapes and heights- wearing the same merlot-coloured robes as the other two appeared.

“Let’s see how long they’ll last against my underlings,” the old man said gleefully, launching another deadlier attack- this time, a ball of black mist that felt oppressive.

Phoenix dodged this one and it hit another set of nearby majestic, tall trees, immediately turning them to ashes.

“Phoenix, will you be alright?” Oliver asked in concern telepathically. Yes, Phoenix can fly and vanish, that’s wonderful, but he doesn’t have magical powers like Lavana. And those subordinates of his… they can levitate and from the looks of it, they weren’t of wolf blood but wiz bloods. Is Phoenix being backed by one of the wiz nobles and these five men are his subordinates entrusted to him by the benefactor? If so, they were to protect him, why were they leaving their master defenceless instead and focusing on taking the 20 persons who just appeared head-on?

Everything was confusing to him and the other 4 pack mates, but still, this was time to fight and live!

“Lavana, you must rest. We’ll fight these two brats!” Rolandro said in mind link to Lavana who nodded. She was feeling a little more tired. It wasn’t like before. Just that she felt weaker and weaker with each passing second…

Widening her eyes, she gasped and yelled for the five wolves not to attempt pouncing at the smirking two bastards but it was too late.

The two who are obviously twins, vanished from their spot and appeared behind the five, launching the grey magic spheres at them in quick succession. The wolves were pushed by the force of magic balls into the deepest hole on the road.

The twins took out several long silver needles from their spatial rings and then let go of them. The needles went downwards and poked at the wolves’ butts while the twins laughed as they manipulated the objects, relishing in the frustrated growls and whimpers made by the 5 victims.

“Let go of my people!” Lavana’s eyes turned to that of a dragon and she let out her magnificent dragon wings, heading towards the two with swiftness.

One of the other twenty shot an arrow towards Lavana who evaded it and used an ice chain to bring the dismayed man closer to her, “Join your fellow,” she yelled, using her dragon claws to behead him. She let go of his headless body and threw the head towards the spot where the other nineteen were battling her mate’s subordinates. All the trees around them on both sides had been levelled down, with more space for them to battle.
