Chapter 122
Reaching the costume hall, Lavana found the two ladies chuckling and counting money in their hands.
Seeing her enter, they quickly kept it and wore an elegant look. Lavana scoffed on seeing their face change, which was faster than a page flip.
She placed her friend on the rocking chair and forced the other two lingering staff outside. Now it was her, Zehelina and the two confused ladies.
“So I saw you two were very happy. Why aren’t you laughing now? Drop those innocent faces, I don’t need them.” the ladies retreated until their backs hit the wall.
“Tell me, what did you do to my friend? And who is behind this?”
“We only added itching powder to her juice. We didn’t think it’d be that bad.” one of them replied in fear.
This was the strong lady that nearly killed her opponent yesterday. They didn’t know what was her wolf rank but they felt she must be a Beta wolf and they were mere Omegas.
If they knew she’s come here, even having a lion’s guts wouldn’t let them remain here.
“So who was it?”
The taller one of the two replied, “It was one of the bodyguards of the 2nd-ranked Alpha. We didn’t mean to hurt her. He threatened to kill us if we didn’t do as he said and he promised us a handsome reward. So…”
Lavana interrupted, “Is the powder still available?”
The other female replied in a shaky voice, “No. We poured all of it.”
The taller one spoke up, “It was an accident.”
“Okay,” Lavana nodded. “Since you spoke the truth, I will make your deaths swifter.” she held the ladies up by their throats.
“Lavana, please, don’t hurt them,” Zehelina mind linked.
“Why shouldn’t I kill them?”
“Even if you did, they’ve already achieved what they wanted. We lost and will be disbanded.”
Lavana let go of them, and they weakly fell to the floor, holding their necks while breathing heavily, afraid to even cough. “You are lucky she interceded for you,” she spat before turning around. “Give her the best treatment. You know what I mean. I want her to look as energetic as she was before. If I come back and find the opposite, even your Alpha can’t save you.” Lavana walked out of the hall and shut it. No one could go in.
An Omega’s blood can get rid of those spots on Zehelina’s body. She didn’t care if those two used up all of their blood to cure it.
The assigned staff backed away after seeing how irate she was. They knew they couldn’t beat her.
“Kneel,” she commanded, and they both felt a force that made them kneel to their surprise. This made them doubt what her wolf rank was.
Storming towards the field, she saw that Alpha Francis was about to announce Hillian as the new Alpha.
“Stop!” a masculine voice was heard from the audience.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Phoenix. The other Blood Star members were dismayed.
“Phoenix, what are you doing? Sit down!” Zyair urged in a whisper.
No one has ever interrupted the announcement of the champion as Alpha and his coronation in history. It’s one thing that they lost and would disband, but why did Lavana’s mate want them dead by interrupting? Phoenix headed to the field, looking pissed.
“He will not be Alpha,” Phoenix said to Alpha Francis, whose eyes instantly turned red.
This guy was defying an Alpha so openly. He was so dead!
Phoenix ignored the Alpha and walked to Hillian. “Since ancient times, if one beats an Alpha, he can become Alpha.”
“But that doesn’t apply at this moment. Only when I become Alpha and after a week has passed before you can challenge me.” Hillian smirked.
“Challenge me then,” Phoenix said with arms folded.
“What?” Hillian thought this guy was idiotic.
“Are you hard of hearing?” Phoenix growled, and his eyes turned red.
Everyone gasped. Quite a number were moved to stand up, including the Alphas.
“I am an Alpha wolf in Bloodstar pack. Now I want you to fight me, Hillian. Only when you beat me can you successfully be crowned, or else, I will not allow it,” Phoenix declared.
Alpha Francis couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
So the Blood Star pack had an Alpha among in their midst all along? Why didn’t they just register and become a pack with an Alpha on the first day? Why go through all the stress?
“I didn’t want to be publicly known as an Alpha, so I wanted someone else in the pack to be, but you’ve forced me. The battle between my pack member and this rat was unfair, but no one pointed it out. Wasn’t there the rule of no cheating?” Phoenix asked.
“This…” Alpha Francis was tongue-tied. Of course, the red spots that were on Zehelina’s body after she shifted back to human, were proof that something had been done to her, and this made her lose so terribly- she even lost her tail!
Phoenix walked to Hillary and raised him up by the neck. The latter started struggling to get free from his grasp, but his efforts were not effective. The difference between the both of them was great.
“You are not worthy to become Alpha.” Phoenix twisted his neck and threw him towards his stunned pack members. This caused a stir!
“I have defeated that weakling. Gimme that!” he took the special liquid in a bottle from Alpha Francis and put it in his pocket. Whenever a victor materialises from the final match in every triennial competition, this liquid is consumed by the champ, and then his wolf rank upgrades to Alpha.
Phoenix looked at the Alphas in the VVIP section with a provoking smile. “If anyone of you up there is infuriated, come battle me.” he challenged. “If you don’t come, it means you are afraid. Why wait for tomorrow to watch the Alpha rankings change when it can be done today?”
Everyone was dumbfounded at the turn of events.
The pack that was supposed to dissolve suddenly had an Alpha, the one who was supposed to be crowned the new Alpha, as winner of the competition, was killed by him, and now, this Alpha was challenging the top three Alphas to a duel.
Was he crazy?
The Alpha of the 2nd-ranked pack unexpectedly was the one who jumped down from the VVIP section. He cracked his knuckles as he headed to the field, wearing a wicked smile.
“Man, you ruined the competition’s peace and want to cause more trouble. I will end your pathetic life for what you did.” Alpha Chase said in a baleful tone. On seeing the beautiful woman that he fell for, walking over to them, he felt happy.
So this strong woman had an Alpha for a mate, eh? But there was a difference in strength, and he would prove that.
“Dear, when I’m done beating your husband, I will take you as my second wife.” he laughed.
“In your dreams, Chase!” Lavana spat in ire.
Many were stunned again, letting out gasps. This woman was as daring as her mate. One challenged the top-ranked Alphas, and the other, called an Alpha King without his title. Really outrageous!
But they were surprised that Alpha Chase laughed, instead of getting angry.
“Hearing my name from your mouth makes me so excited. Geez! I can’t wait to do you.” his eyes scanned her body and he nodded in satisfaction. She should even be his Luna and have the position of first wife.
He was more than willing to demote that Jacinta to slave if need be. She was no longer enticing. This woman before him was the definition of a perfect wife. He even imagined how good-looking their children would be.
The pissed Phoenix was told by his mate to calm down and let her deal with this matter.
First of all, I will not be yours. Secondly,” she smirked. ” my mate won’t be fighting you, Chase.” then she pointed at herself. “I will,” she announced causing many to gasp again.
What’s with all these surprises thrown at them? They weren’t prepared for, nor told about any of this!
The competition didn’t turn out to be how they expected it.
No Alpha was crowned and now the ones to fight, one of them had now changed to a woman. Yes, she was strong but she’s not an Alpha wolf so she can’t beat him. Was she out of her mind? Like seriously, what was going on in this couple’s heads?
“You want to fight me?” Chase had a look of incredulity, “Would you even be able to take a punch from me?” he asked in arrogance.
She scoffed, “We’ll see. But first, I must do something that’s long overdue.”
“Oh, you want to kiss me?” Chase asked with raised eyebrows but seeing her frown deeply, he asked what it was she wanted to do first.
“You’re sure you can handle it?” she questioned him with a sly smile.
“I’m Alpha. I fear nothing.” he chuckled.
“Ok then,” she gifted Phoenix a peck on his left cheek.
“You’re doing that to spite me, huh?” Alpha Chase frowned.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Lavana’s eyes turned resolute before declaring with her right hand on the left side of her chest:
“I, Lavana Isla McKenny, heiress of the late Alpha Brandon McKenny of Moon Crest pack, also reject you, Alpha Chase of Ralton Pack, as my mate. May the Moon Goddess bear witness to this!”
