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

Meanwhile…

Narfi finally reached Khaton forest and located his sister near a cliff, just as Savage Lord had earlier said. He saw that she was still in bird form on a table made of maple wood which was stained with her blood. The pot and other utensils with which his sister was tortured were on the table too. Glinda was barely respiring and couldn’t open her eyes. Each time she tried to exhale or inhale, it was very painful for her.

Seeing this, his eyes reddened.

“Glinda…” he muttered as he slowly brought himself to touch her head with his trembling right hand. “Sister… I’m here,” he whispered, struggling not to let any tear fall.

“Brother…” she mind-linked him weakly, “don’t look at me. I’m… I’m not beautiful anymore. I’m not sexy. Don’t let… my appearance… s-spoil your eyes.”

He shook his head, “No, Glinda, how can you ask me to do that? I’m so sorry… If only I were strong enough. But he’s Savage Lord,” Narfi disclosed in a quavering voice.

Telepathically, she chuckled bitterly, “I see. I’m really unlucky to meet him. I thought I could fight him or even flee from him at worst, but who knew he could clone himself? I couldn’t tell which of him was real and which was the copy,”

“Glinda…”

“Brother, I know you were forced… to applaud. Brother, I have not much time left.”

He carried her from the table and sat on the ground with her placed gently in his arms, “No Glinda, you have to hold on, please! Don’t leave me.”

Glinda feebly changed back to human form. She had no arms or legs and her unclad body was bloodied. “Promise me, you’ll take revenge for me. Go through with plan B, and live for me. When you find your mate, bring my finest framed picture to the wedding at least, so I can be present somehow. Promise me,” she managed to say with her mouth.

He could only whisper, “Glinda…I…”

“Promise, Narfi. Promise me!” she wept.

He nodded his head, pursing his lips together, while trying as hard as he could to hold back his tears. After a while, he found the strength to talk, “Yes, I promise you, Glinda. I’ll avenge you, and I’ll take down that despicable couple, even if it’s the last thing I do. I pledge to you, sister.”

Hearing this, she managed to smile and open her eyes with great difficulty, “That’s… really great to hear, Narfi. Don’t ever forget my love. Don’t ever forget me, okay?”

“I won’t dare to,” he responded. The reality that his sister couldn’t be saved pained him so much. He’d arrived too late.

“Brother, I’m leaving first. Be sure to visit my tomb from time to time, okay?”

Narfi nodded, “I will,”

“And… I really wish I could touch your face like they do in those movies,” she dryly laughed. “It’s a pity,”

Narfi shook his head, gently wiping off her tears, “Glinda, don’t talk anymore, ok? I… I recollect there’s a family recipe that can save you. So…”

“It’s too late, Narfi. Take… care…” No more words were heard from her. Her skin turned a grey colour and her eyes were closed… forever!

Seeing that his sister had expired, Narfi looked towards the sky, the tears that he’d forcefully restrained finally got the liberty they desired and eagerly slid down his cheeks. His lips kept trembling and he didn’t blink for a while as he recalled their memories from childhood till date. When he finally blinked, he looked at his deceased relative after hesitating for half a minute.

The reality hit him in the face again. His sister was truly no more. She’d never smile again, never tease him, never sing nor dance, or even make him riled again. Glinda’s bird spirit, Glinda, was no longer unified with his sister, which is why her skin instantly turned grey.

Narfi brought his right hand to stroke her now cold face.

“Savage Lord, I’m coming for you and your tribrid mate. I swear, you’ll regret ever harming my sister. I’ll get back at you. You’ll pay for this Phoenix, you’ll pay!” he yelled in heartache.

Back at the contest’s venue.

VVIP section.

“Do you plan on doing anything? ” the 3rd-ranked Alpha, Dmitri asked.

“Nope. I just wish to watch this drama. You know, I was really getting bored until that Phoenix guy revealed himself to be of Alpha blood,” replied the 1st-ranked Alpha King, Marcus with a thin smile. He added, “So, I’m taking no action. The Lycan King that’s present didn’t even make any attempt till now. It means that just like me, he’s interested in this drama.”

Alpha Dmitri nodded his like-mindedness and said: “I wonder if they have any more secrets to unravel. Like that Phoenix, since he’s of Alpha blood, I wonder which pack he hails from. And that heiress’ beauty is indeed unmatched.”

Alpha Marcus nodded his concord, “True! The best part is the blows that she gifted that dunce. I bet he didn’t expect the one he fell for to be his ex-mate and enemy.” he chuckled.

On the platform, Alpha Chase could hear the other two high-ranked Alpha kings mocking his predicament, and one even called him a dunce and senseless fly, he glowered at the two in the VVIP Section and saw the 3rd-ranked Alpha King sticking out his tongue at him, while that hateful 1st-ranked King was blowing a raspberry. It’s also hateful that those on screen can’t see their acts because all the unseen cameras were focused on the platform.

Everyone was seeing him- a high-ranked Alpha King- rejected and almost about to collapse from his ex-mate’s spurning. And this vile Lavana had escaped the pangs by accepting her second-chance mate on the spot, officially sealing their mate bond while he languished. Now this obnoxious couple in front of him was grinning provocatively at him.

No, he couldn’t accept the endless humiliation like this. He won’t take it!

And so, with malignancy in his eyes, he spoke loudly, “So what if you’re the heiress? Your useless pack is gone forever. So what if you rejected me? I will still send you and this ugly mate of yours to join your clansmen. My father showed you mercy by not ending you and even giving you a purpose to live. But you’re an ungrateful bitch. This is how you repay Ralton.”

“Chase, you just said your dad, the ex-Alpha, gave my mate a life?” Phoenix questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“Ha! He did. And just to remind you, she was my mate first and I rejected her first.” Alpha Chase highlighted.

“But she’s mine, now and forever. Thank you for giving me the rare pearl and loving the fish eye you call a mate at home,” Phoenix smirked.

“You’ll pay for your words!” Alpha Chase yelled, and Phoenix left his mate’s side and walked over to Chase who subconsciously backed away until he fell from the platform.

“Oh, you fell. Need my help?” Phoenix stretched out his right hand, wearing that annoying smile.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t need help from my enemy!” Chase spat and struggled to stand up but ended up falling several times. Many in the audience couldn’t help it any longer; they burst out laughing.

This was a rare sight. An Alpha King being so clumsy and humiliated like this. Even those in the VVIP section were laughing while pointing toward the humorist.

Alpha Marcus even clutched his chest as he giggled, “Oh my gosh! This is too funny, my chest! Alpha Chase, please, have mercy on us, will you? Hahaha!”

Alpha Chase stubbornly tried to get back on his feet, but each time, he fell more miserably than the last. Now he was even bruised. His grim face was a pleasure to watch.

“Sullivan, you’re a bad guy,” Lavana mind linked her mate.

“Of course, I am, dear. This Chase is a good clown.” her mate replied.

Lavana laughed, “Sure he is.”

The exasperated Chase sat on the ground, refusing to get up, because, no matter how hard he tried, he would always end up on the ground. He was weary.

“Chase, although your show isn’t top-notch but I appreciate it.” Alpha Marcus said to him in mind link. A pissed Chase growled as he looked towards the VVIP section. He saw the contemptible Alpha king blowing raspberries at him.

This was too much!

He wouldn’t take all this lying down. He quickly took out a small black bottle from his pant’s right pocket, removed the cork, and poured into his mouth all its contents in one go. Then he gulped the liquid down despite the bitterness and the feeling of wanting to retch. After successfully downing everything, he threw the now empty bottle towards the audience and it hit an unlucky woman’s forehead which started to bleed.
