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

“They don’t know I was the dragon…”

“Don’t interrupt my lecture. You aren’t strong enough to face those strong villains out there. So you must be careful. Those people have seen your face and believe you live in the water and that the dragon who took them to land was your ride. No one will believe them if they say they saw and rode a real dragon or that they encountered a beautiful mermaid. There were other choices you could have made and still gotten the result of taking them to safety.”

“Building a raft?” Lavana asked.

“No. But you must know your safety is important.”

“Oceana… I’ll do better next time.”

“You did a great thing no doubt. But you must remember the consequences of your identity being leaked out. There’s a reason you are a tribrid.”

“Mind telling me?”

“When you’ve finished with the most urgent matter, you will know.”

Oceana retreated to slumber while Lavana sighed. She started to ponder on what Oceana had said.

There were indeed other ways to achieve the result without letting them know about a dragon’s existence. She could have ‘borrowed’ a boat from that inhabited land and taken it back to the island. Then just say to the Greys that she found it on the island mysteriously, get the family on it and shift to her mermaid form, attach ice chains to the boat and swim since she knew the way to the inhabited area.

She would dissolve the ice chains once they neared land.

This would save her from all that stress of dragon transformation. The family’s already honored to see her mermaid self. Why show them her dragon self? Though it’s kind of nice but…

Fear of Beatrix not finding her when she wakes up and the resulting ruckus it could cause in Blood star pack, maybe that’s why she acted that way.

In the end, she got tired and woke up past the time she’d planned and what she feared to happen in the pack should already be happening now.

She sighed.

There were plenty of chances to think twice in the future. And as long as that family keep their promises, it should be well. She’s done here. It’s time to go back!

She sighed and finally closed her eyes.

“Bloodstar pack. Teleport!” she shouted and pink light covered her. In few seconds, she had vanished from the water.

Opening her eyes again, she found herself outside the window of their room. She wanted to sigh in relief only to fall to the ground. Geez!  She forgot she was still in her merform!

It was daytime already and the birds were happily singing. She sat up and made herself invisible. She couldn’t let anyone see her like this. How to explain why a mermaid that supposed to be in the water is seated on the ground in a wolf pack?

After returning to human form, she rose and stretched her body a bit before entering the room through the open window. She recalled closing it last night. Since it was open it meant the little one was up. Upon entering the room, she saw Beatrix seated on the chair with hands folded, her expression unreadable.

Lavana felt pangs of guilt. She had made the little babe worry again. She should be more responsible! She decided to first wear some clothes before making herself visible again. Who knew she’d kick her foot again against the water bottle that was in the way in the process of hurrying?

This immediately alerted Beatrix as she immediately rose from her chair.

“Who’s there? Show yourself!” she demanded while assuming a fighting stance.

“Sigh. Baby girl it’s me.” Lavana replied, cancelling her invisibility.

“You…” Beatrix pointed at Lavana with widened eyes before harrumphing and seating back on the chair.

Lavana took a gown and threw it on. Then she walked to Beatrix and sat beside her.

“Humph!” the little girl looked away, this time crossing her legs.

“Rixie…”

Beatrix still didn’t look at her and she sighed.

“Beatrix, I’m sorry.”

At this, Beatrix turned to look at her big sis.

“You know how worried I was? I couldn’t sleep all night!” she lashed out. Lavana felt even more guilty. She even robbed her little sister of sleep!

“Rixie, I’m sorry. I wasn’t on purpose. I didn’t mean to stay out this long.”

“But you did!”

“This wasn’t my plan. If I knew I’d make you worry like this, I shouldn’t have gone out at all.”

“You went out to blow off some steam?”

“Eh?”

“Pixie in the story, was it you? You made up a different ending for me?”

Lavana did not reply but her expression revealed the fact.

“Big sis…”

“It’s a happy story and it got you to sleep, at least.”

“But it was at the expense of making your emotions unstable.”

“Look Rixie, let’s not talk about the story. I have made you worry. I’m sorry. I will make it up to you, I promise.”

Beatrix nodded and Lavana hugged her, sighing in relief internally. How did this babe figure out Pixie was herself and she made up a different story?

When they broke the hug, Beatrix rose and stretched her body.

“So mind telling me your escapades last night? Did you fight with some villain and who won?”

Lavana chuckled.

“I didn’t fight any villain. But I did win.”

“You won without fighting? How? What exactly did you do, big sis?” a now curious Beatrix sat back on the chair.

“It’s like this…”

****

Some minutes later.

Beatrix clapped in excitement.

“You saved a whole family from drowning and took them to safety? That’s a big win. You saved lives. That’s the job of a hero.” Beatrix hugged her big sis. She wasn’t so pissed about losing some sleep anymore. If her big sis didn’t go out and mysteriously teleported there, that family would have died! So her big sis went out and did a great thing. That’s good to hear.

“Big sis, you say you can teleport?” Beatrix asked, after recalling this fact.

“Yes! The pink gemstone on my forehead as a mermaid helps me with that. It also serves as a lamp in dark places underwater.” Lavana replied.

“Oh!” the little one nodded in understanding.

“So that makes it five unique powers you have?”

“There are actually 6. My wolf comes with fire and invisibility.”

“Then your mermaid form comes with ice powers and teleport. As for your dragon form, you can naturally fly. It comes with lightning and …”

“I haven’t reached the point of using it yet.”

“You’re this mysterious. What exactly is the 6th one?”

“I’ll show you when I can finally do it. It’s a vow I make today. The stronger I get, the closer I’ll be to fulfilling my promise of today.”

Beatrix shrugged. “Okay. I’ll wait then,”

Lavana headed to the training hall and found Mel already waiting for her.

“Girl, you are late,” he stated.

“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry.” Lavana bowed her head.
