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

Lavana found Beatrix in their room and they discussed a lot of things. After much persuasion and promises from Lavana, Beatrix finally agreed with her big sis’ decision. Lavana hugged her tight.

“Thanks, little sis. You are a darling. When Phoenix visits, I’ll let him know so he can take you home. I was supposed to do that personally but this came suddenly.”

“It’s alright, big sis. I wish you success. This is a nice pack and I really don’t want it to disband, especially now that the two ladies are pregnant.” Beatrix sighed.

“I’ll do my best. I will make sure this pack doesn’t dissolve.” Lavana swore.

“I believe you, big sis.”

They broke the hug and the little one asked a serious question.

“Big sis, your hand-to-hand combat skills…”

“I know. They are lacking and I don’t have technique. I haven’t been trained for long and this thing came up suddenly. I must not miss this event.”

“So what then do you plan on doing? You said you already asked both men to spend quality time with their family.”

“I… I’ll ask your eldest brother out.”

“Phoenix is a wizard? How can he help you train?”

“He can. He can fight pretty well, so he can teach me a thing or two.”

“Okay.” Beatrix nodded in understanding.

There was suddenly a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Beatrix asked.

“It’s Carmelia.”

“Aunty Carmelia?” Beatrix whispered. She quickly got off the bed and ran to open the door.

“Aunty…” she hugged her leg.

Carmelia rubbed Beatrix’s head and then carried the little one with her left hand.

“Lava, get ready. We’re going out,” she proclaimed.

“Out? What are we going to do?”

“Don’t worry. You’ll know when you get there. But here’s a hint, you’re about to be treated like royalty. Beatrix and I will wait for you in the parking lot.” with this, Carmelia left the room, not giving Lavana, any chance to speak.

She did not forget to close the door behind her. Now only Lavana was in the room. She couldn’t help but sigh.

*****

Minutes later, Lavana met both of them in the parking lot as said and Carmelia told her to get in the jeep.

Lavana obeyed. She sat with Beatrix in the backseat while Carmelia sat in front, in the driver’s seat.

“Fasten your seatbelts,” Carmelia reminded.

Beatrix helped Lavana do so after doing hers.

“Alright, we’re good to go.” Rolandro’s mate announced before driving out of the lot and finally out of the pack.

&&&&&

Lavana couldn’t believe her eyes. For the first time, after 15 years, she was in a beauty home- not just to stand and spectate- but to get herself fixed. And she didn’t have to pay a dime! A tear slid down her eyes after being greeted by the staff of that beauty salon.

“Lava, anything wrong?” Carmelia asked, seeing Lavana so emotional.

Before she knew it, Lavana had hugged her.

“Thank you. Thank you so much,” she said in a hoarse voice.

“No probs, honey. We are a family. Come on, let’s get you to glow. You know, you have a mission here. What do you think that is?”

“Be obedient as they do their work?”

“Nope. You are here with a wonderful mission. Take their breaths away. Now go on. Let these huns take good care of you. Beatrix and I will go visit some places. We’ll be back in no time.” Carmelia said while holding the little one’s right hand.

“Yeah. Big sis, don’t worry. We’ll be back soonest. Have fun.” she blew kisses at Lavana before walking away with Carmelia, giggling.

*******

Some 2 hours later, Carmelia and Beatrix had returned and they sat on the waiting couch. Soon they heard footsteps and quickly fixed their attention on the staircase.

Two of the staff, one male and one female, were holding her hands on both sides while they climbed down. Lavana’s face down to her hands were covered by a black veil so no one could see what she is like. But they could see the purple gown and silver heels that she was wearing, along with the several thin silver bracelets on both wrists. When they finally brought Lavana to stand in front of the expectant two, the staff smiled before joining hands together to slowly remove the veil.

The moment they did so, both of them rose from the couch and gasped.

Beatrix walked to her big sis and touched her hand. She wanted to be sure this is a person standing before her.

“How do I look?” Lavana asked.

Up till now, the staff hadn’t let her see her face yet.

One of the two who’d taken her downstairs clapped once and some other staff brought a long and wide mirror. Lavana turned to look at herself and gasped.

“Who… who is this?” she couldn’t help asking as she pointed at the mirror.

“Honey, that’s you,” Carmelia said with a smile.

“Miss, you’re so beautiful.” one of the staff praised.

Lavana’s hair was packed up in a bun with a few strands left at the front. Her neck was bare of any jewellery but a pink tattoo could be seen on the back of her neck.

“Did you guys paint it on her neck/” Carmelia asked the staff but they shook their heads.

“‘You didn’t?”

“Ma’am, this tattoo was on the back of her neck when we started doing our job.” another staff replied.

“Really?” Carmelia couldn’t help walking to Lavana and inspecting Lavana’s neck. She suddenly gasped.

“What? Ma’am, is something wrong?” Lavana asked. She herself was confused as well. Her tattoos only appear when she shifts to her mermaid form and she’s pretty sure that there’s none on her back.

“Nothing. I just felt it was cool. I mean, it’s very beautiful. You have a tattoo of a wolf. Why you never showed it to me? Maybe I should get one. Haha!” Carmelia chuckled.

Lavana still did not feel convinced.

“Big sis, you are a goddess,” Beatrix finally brought herself to comment. Her big sis looked so beautiful. If the former her and her current self were to stand in one place, no one would believe the transformation. She only had one thing for this beauty home- 5 stars!

“Alright, you two go ahead and get in the jeep. I’ll join you soon.”

Lavana nodded and took Beatrix out.

Those who saw her gasped. Especially those judging her terrible she looked amongst the trio when they first alighted from the vehicle. Now seeing this same girl come out and glowing, they couldn’t believe it at all.

A guy who was walking hit a pole before he became once again focused on the way ahead.

“Big sis, look how you’re making them stunned.” Beatrix pointed out with excitement.

“Eldest brother will be too stunned to speak when he sees you.”

“Alright, alright. That’s ok. Let’s get in. I feel awkward with all this attention.”

“Big sis, get used to it. In the competition, thousands will stare at you and you must show them confidence. The ones staring at you don’t even count as an audience.”

“Alright. Let’s get in first honey.”

&&&&&

Some minutes later, Carmelia exited the beauty house and entered the car.

“Lavana, you took my breath away when I first saw you- even now, I still can’t believe it’s Lavana I’m staring at.” Carmelia commented.

“I still don’t believe it’s me too but the facts remain. I’m Lavana,”

“So about that tattoo; where did you get it? I clearly recall your neck is bare always and has no tattoo.”

“This… I don’t know. I’m confused here.” Lavana replied.

“You don’t know? How old are you, honey?”

“You know that I’m 19.”

“Yup. Just wanted you to state it. You are a late shifter, aren’t you?”

“Yeah,”

“Alright. I won’t be nosy anymore when the person is as confused as I am.  Let’s go shopping!”

“Sh-Shopping?” Lavana thought she’d heard wrong. That word had never applied to her since the day she was captured into Ralton pack.

“Yeah. We’re gonna get you and your little sis, lots of stuff.”

“You think I’m strong enough to carry them?” Lavana asked.

“Yup. You have a Beta’s strength.” Carmelia replied. Lavana didn’t refute that. Mel must have told her and Rolandro.

*******

2 hours later, they returned to the pack. Lavana stepped out of the red jeep with Beatrix and stood, waiting for Carmelia.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Carmelia soon alighted and closed the door. Then, together, all three of them walked out of the parking lot. The pack members present gasped.

Who was that hot lady in the middle of this trio?
