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

“For today’s occasion, as conveyed by the four beautiful banners we have here, 4 packs will contest, and today, the new Alpha will emerge. I trust that today’s battles will be eye-opening and thrilling. Here are the rules: No cheating! There is no restriction like the other days. Death can be featured. No matter how often one is thrown out of the ring, he can climb back up and fight the opponent. It’s only when one of the fighters is unconscious, or dead, will there be a victor among them. Body parts can be amputated. Shifting is allowed and even if you’re stronger than your opponent, you must give it your all. In previous triennial contests, we choose the ultimate fighter to battle from each contesting pack, this time, you packs get to select the warriors who’ll battle. All members belonging to the 4 packs, please step forward,” he commanded.

Hearing this, the members of the4 packs walked to the field. He then resumed speaking, “In each of the groups, I’ll appoint the one who’ll nominate the warrior to compete, blindfolded.” as Alpha Francis said this, a voluptuous, tall, pale-skinned, barefooted young lady who had chocolate cherry hair styled in a wolf cut, and wearing a black face veil and black sexy gown, climbed up to the platform, holding a small golden bowl containing pebbles in her left hand and a blindfold on her right.

She knelt before him and bowed her head with her hands raised.

He took the blindfold and put it over his eyes. Then he took a pebble from the bowl and threw it towards the first group. It hit the thigh of a petite black-haired female of the Storm Riders pack.

He picked up the second pebble and threw it also. It hit the gut of a tall brown-haired man in Erion pack’s group.

He picked up the third one and threw it again. It struck the feet of a short man in Wild Fangs pack group and the last pebble he threw hit Lavana’s left arm.

Then he took off the blindfold and asked the ones who were hit by the pebble to pick it up, which they did. The lady put the blindfold handed to her by Alpha Francis gently on the bowl and bowed before rising and leaving the platform in an elegant manner.

“Now I’ve appointed the first 4, the final 4 will be nominated.” said the Alpha as 4 men walked to the field, wearing matching red and white striped suits. They stood behind the four holding the pebbles and covered their eyes with both hands.

Alpha Francis then ordered the members of the groups to switch spots. These four will select another pack’s warrior, so there would be no case of favouritism.

After the groups had changed spots, Alpha Francis commanded the selected four to throw the pebbles which they heeded according to his counts of one to four. Once this was done, the four men in striped suits walked away.

Those who got hit by the pebbles stepped out from the groups and stood with hands clasped behind them. The earlier selected four people returned to their rightful groups.

“Alright, the fighters for today have emerged. The rest of you, please, head back to your seats.” he requested.

“Aye, Alpha king!” the 4 packs’ members chorused and hastily left the field, retiring to their seats, now wearing worried faces.

“Now the fighters can go prepare for the battles,” Alpha Francis declared.

Four ladies, wearing their identical peach blond hair in a mid-length curly shag hairstyle, headed to the field, garbed in matching ankle-length bodycon yellow gowns. They took the right hand of the warriors and led them away- two facing east, and the other two, west.

Now there was only the Alpha on the platform once again. He smiled at the audience. “Let’s welcome ‘Excellia’ troupe to grace our sense of sight.” as he descended the platform, many in the audience applauded.

A minute later, 14 men wearing animal skirts ran to the field, blowing war horns and accompanied by another 5 men, also clad in animal skins, beating their drums as hard they could.

Soon two groups each having 20 men and women ran into the field carrying ancient weapons. They let out howls before pointing their weapons at each other wearing hostile expressions.

3 male teens dressed in animal skin shorts with a sash tied around their heads came to the field with flutes in hand. Two of them took their places behind the two hostile groups while one stood between those blowing the horns. At his signal the other two joined him in fluting, those beating the drums did so even harder while only one person was blowing the horn.

Meanwhile, Lavana was staring at the clone with a frown. No matter how many questions she asked him, all he did was smile. Then she realized the truth- this was a copy of her mate!

Where the heck was her mate, and why did he send a clone to leave the forest with her? She saw the clone suddenly rise from his seat and leave. She quickly followed and found he was headed to the male bathroom. She stayed outside and turned invisible.

Soon, she found a Phoenix walking out of the male restroom, hands in his pockets.

She walked towards him and pulled his ear.

“Ow, Ow, Ow! Lavana, I’m sorry,” he implored. He knew she was the one even though he couldn’t see her.

“Where have you been, and why did you send a clone to leave with me instead?” she questioned.

“Please, let’s go somewhere private, alright?” he beseeched, and she harrumphed before taking him somewhere secluded, where there were no cameras or someone to spy on them. She turned visible, and he saw how deep her frown was.

“Phoenix, you’re done for.” his wolf spirit remarked.

“No, we’re both dead meat, ok?” Phoenix answered him in his head.

“Hey, don’t drag me into this, Sullivan. I didn’t ask you to clone yourself. Seriously you thought you could trick her?”

“But I had to do that coz it was an emergency.” he defended.

“I understand, but does she? You better explain yourself to her. As for me, I’m out!” River quickly went into slumber.

“Disloyal spirit!” Phoenix thought. Who was the one who said they’d go through thick and thin?

“You even have time to zone out. You aren’t taking me seriously, Sullivan.”

“Lavana, I’m sorry. I… It was an emergency, and I didn’t want you to worry.” he replied.

“I thought we shouldn’t keep secrets?” she questioned, pinning him to the oak tree.

“This… I went after a villain.”

She creased her eyebrows on hearing his response, “A villain?”

He nodded, “Yes, mate, a villain.”

“The person was after you?”

“No, but you, Lavana.”

“Me? Why?” she asked in puzzlement.

“A pair of siblings from the almost extinct crow clan planned on getting your powers for their own benefit. I have dealt with the sister. The brother knows my identity.”

“That you’re a perfect hybrid?” she asked in unease.

“Both of them knew that, and they planned on getting me too. They’d been investigating you and had deciphered two of your identities, but, they don’t know your third form yet, and if they found out, they’d proceed with the plan B. Mate, I couldn’t help but try to solve this matter.”

“So you killed the sister?”

He responded, “That…. she’s still alive. However, she won’t be able to cause any harm to us, and I gave her brother the chance to come and get her in the place I left her. I did torture her for a bit, with her brother watching through a magical mirror.”

“You hit her with a whip?” she asked in curiosity.

“That’s child’s play. I simply put her in a pot of boiling hot water and then plucked all her feathers. I even… fried her wings and roasted her legs, and then I forced her to consume them. That was all I did before I left.”

“You protected me from scheming people, but did you have to go that far? Plucking out her eyes and cutting off her tongue was enough.”

“Mate, you’re right, I should have done that. I guess I got too carried away. It won’t happen next time, I promise.” he vowed.

She harrumphed before letting him go.

He smiled, “Thank you, mate.”

“If you can break through my chains, then I’ll forgive you.” saying this, she launched an ice chain that fastened itself around his neck. She launched another which coiled around his waist. As he laboured to get them off him, she launched another two, which bound him from feet to neck. Then she launched another two that bound him to the tree.

When she was done, she grinned. “You mustn’t use your sorcerer skills for this, or I’ll torch your clothes,” she warned.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Okay.” he nodded and tried to free himself from all the chains, using his Alpha strength. When he managed to break one chain, she launched another one to replace it. He looked at her with wide eyes, “Seriously?”

“Phoenix, do you know what happened after I and that clone of yours got to the venue?”

“Um… they chose the fighters to battle from the 4 packs?”

“It was done in a different way, mate. I chose another pack’s warrior to compete. And another pack chose our warrior. Tell me, if that pack member chose your clone who’s just really skilled at smiling at my questions, what do you think would happen? Huh?”

He replied, “That… um… although my clone doesn’t talk, fighting is a yes. My clones are half as good as me.”

“Hmph. When you’re free, come join me.” she turned invisible and exited the place, leaving Phoenix to sigh. Only then did his wolf spirit resurface.

“Oh my! She bound you to a tree.” River snickered.
