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

“Look, Mr Carl…”

“I don’t need any explanations.” he interrupted her, throwing a bank card on the couch.

“My money’s all in there. You can take it. Please, just go. I swear on my life not to reveal your existence.” he begged.

Lavana sighed.

“We don’t need your money. We were going to leave, anyway. That ring in your hand; if you try to spill the secret of our existence, you will die.” Beatrix spat.

“Big sis, let’s go.” she ran out of the apartment.

Lavana looked at the fearful Carl.

“Whatever we did to make you pissed, I apologize and thank you for the clothes you bought for us and the food and for sheltering us. I will always remain grateful for your kindness. I understand how you feel. Don’t worry. You won’t see us ever again and that ring… don’t worry about it. She’s just threatening you. I trust, though, that you’ll keep your promise. Once again, thank you for everything. We’re leaving.” Lavana bowed and walked out of the apartment.

She found Beatrix waiting for her.

“Big sis… I’m sorry. I got us kicked out.” she apologized.

“It’s okay. We’ll survive,” she whispered, rubbing the little one’s hair.

She nodded and hugged Lavana’s thigh.

“Let’s go.” Lavana took her by the hand and they walked towards the stairs, climbing down slowly.

When they got to the last stair, they heard a manly voice.

“Wait!”

The voice was familiar. nIt belonged to Carl.

What did he want?

“Big sis, let’s go.” Beatrix urged.

“Let’s wait for him; after all, he’s the one who housed and fed us with delicious food. Waiting for a few minutes won’t hurt, alright!”

“Okay.” Beatrix nodded.

Soon Carl got close to them but he kept some distance. He was away from them by 3 staircases.

“If you don’t want the card, then at least take this. I’ll keep my promise and if by chance… things don’t go too well for you… you guys can come to my restaurant and eat for free.” he said.

“No, Mr Carl, you’ve done enough. We don’t need it. Thank you for everything.” Lavana said.

“No, I insist. Please!”

“She said no need. Don’t you get it?” Lavana’s eyes had changed color and her voice was different.

An ice chain was immediately launched at Carl. He couldn’t dodge it. The ice chain wrapped around his neck and started to tighten.

Beatrix was stunned.

She knew about her big sis’ ice ability but had never seen her voice change. The temperament and aura were different from the normal Lavana that she knew.

“Big sis…”she called out in uncertainty.

“Beatrix, once you get home. Lavana has to take her own path. If it’s destined, you guys can meet again. And you, Carl…”

The ice chains immediately vanished as Lavana gained control.

“Gosh! Mr Carl, I’m so sorry. I…”

“Just take it and leave!” he threw the money at them and then ran up the stairs hurriedly, coughing as he did so.

“Now I see why he’s more determined to throw us out. Who would want to live with the fact that he could be strangled anytime? He doesn’t have the courage. Big sis, it’s a waste to leave the money here.”Beatrix bent down to pick it but Lavana prevented her from doing so.

Instead, she launched a small fireball at the money on the staircase.

“I don’t think we should take it. We will survive,”she said.

“Alright. Anything you say.”

*********

3 hours later.

They’d trekked along the road for such a long time. There was no cash with them and they were hungry.

“I told you we should have taken that money. It would have helped us a great deal.” Beatrix complained.

“It just doesn’t feel right to me,”Lavana said as she held her rumbling tummy.

“How about we try the ‘Dine and Dash’ method?”

Lavana poked Beatrix’s head.

“Why’s that the only thing in your head?”

“How about we eat and wash plates like we did last time?” the little girl suggested again.

“No. Let’s see if there’s any vacancy for work. I will work. You can just stay close to me. When they pay the wages, then we can eat.”

‘Then, where do we sleep?”

“Well, that…”

Suddenly, a car splashed water at them. That spot on the road was bad and so contained muddy water.

“Hey! Are you blind? Look at such enormous space on the other side, you are intentional. I’m gonna…”

“Eish! Your temper is too hot. Maybe the person wasn’t intentional.” Lavana chided.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Hmph!” Beatrix folded her hands and her stomach grumbled loudly.

“I’m sure that it’s not just the water splashed on us that’s making you mad.”

“So what? A hungry person is an angry person.”Beatrix defended, unfolding her hands.

“I beg to differ. I’m hungry too but am I angry?”

The car that had splashed water on them reversed and the driver came out. It was a black-haired, tall lady wearing sunglasses, a blue chiffon gown and 4-inch silver heels.

“Hello, um… I’m really, really sorry. It wasn’t intentional. I got distracted somehow…”

“Beatrix… run,” Lavana said and the two immediately started running.

“What the…” the lady was so shocked that she took off her transparent glasses.

Why did they suddenly run away while she was apologizing? Was she that scary? Was anything on her face?

She took out a mirror from her gown’s pocket and checked her appearance.

There was nothing out of the ordinary… wait! What was that smell?

Her eyes widened and she looked at the two whose figures had almost disappeared.

The older one was an Omega. How could she not know it immediately?

What was an Omega doing out here in the human territory? Did she have a tragic backstory like maybe… she escaped from a pack? Her pack needs more people and she was willing to recruit this Omega before she turned rogue. Rogues are mostly not willing to join a pack considering their experiences. Instead, they want to destroy packs. She took off her heels and started racing in the direction that the two had fled.

She didn’t know about the younger one. Maybe a normal human girl or a little unshifted Omega but she’s got to rescue these two before they fall into the wrong hands.

Lavana had carried Beatrix on her back so she could run faster. She was like a blur.

She turned her head for a moment and gasped.

That lady was about to catch up to them? No, she couldn’t allow it to happen.

She’d escaped from Ralton pack. She didn’t want to go back there again until she was strong enough to ruin them all.

So she had to run!

But no matter what detour she took, the lady was still behind her. They got into a lonely road and she was checking constantly to see if there was anywhere she could enter. A water body would have been best.

“Stop there!” a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, causing her to halt.

She saw it was the lady that was on their tails.

When did she get past them?

“You two…” before the lady could say another word, Lavana turned around to flee but she quickly held her hair, causing her to stop.

“Leave us alone,” Lavana yelled in frustration.

“You are an Omega. Why are you two out here all alone? Do you know how dangerous it is?” the lady asked.

“Stop pretending to be kind. I know your intentions. If you don’t let go of my hair this instant, I will burn you to the death.” Lavana spat.

“Hey, Hey. Calm down, honey. I’m not out here for your life. I’m here to protect you instead. How about this? I swear to the moon goddess that I have no bad intentions in my heart. If otherwise, may I be struck by thunder.” she vowed with her hand on her chest.

“Is that enough to convince you?” she asked.

“No. I don’t trust you. It’s better to be alone.” she refuted.

The lady sighed.

“How about I treat you guys to a meal? There’s a restaurant nearby,” she asked, trying out her luck.

Hearing the word ‘Meal’ from the lady, their stomachs grumbled and the lady chuckled.

“Seems your stomachs trust me,” she commented.
