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

She kept tapping her right foot on the floor with her hands folded while seated on the chair.

Peter was just seated on the floor cross-legged. He was reading a large, ancient-looking pink with intertwined vines on the cover. Its pages were glowing a little. He did this in a bid to take his mind away from the matter at hand.

Suddenly, there was a bright light that appeared close to the table. This attracted their attention and both hastily rose and looked at the light with expectation. And they weren’t disappointed as two figures appeared and the light faded.

“Big sis!”

“Brother!”

The worried two called out at the same time. They ran to the one they were bothered about.

Before the light had faded, Phoenix already used a spell on his face.

He didn’t want many questions about why his face had altered or how he got those marks on his face. No, he wasn’t ready for that. It was better to look the way his siblings could easily recognize.

“Big sis, are you okay?” Beatrix asked in concern.

“I’m fine, Rixie,” Lavana responded.

“He didn’t renounce you, did he?” the little one inquired what was on her mind while glancing at Phoenix.

“You make a guess, baby girl,” Phoenix replied with a mischievous smile before his mate could say a word.

“Big sis, you tell me.” Beatrix did not want to speculate on such a vital issue. She just wants the truth!

“We’re still mates, Rixie,” Lavana replied as she squatted, bringing the little girl into a hug.

“So big sis, you’re also now my sister-in-law? When is the wedding date? Hehe, I’m very good at dancing. I’ll prepare the most outstanding dance the world has ever seen. And I’ll as well…”

“Baby girl, the wedding date isn’t that soon but it will happen. Surely!” Lavana interrupted her.

“Eh?” the little one exclaimed in bewilderment. “So you guys won’t get married yet. Is there a problem?”

“You are being too nosy,” Lavana replied before heading to the bathroom.

Now it was the siblings left in the room.

Phoenix sat on the bed and crossed his long legs. The peacock fan appeared in his hand and he began examining it.

“Eldest brother…” Beatrix whined.

“Nope! You won’t get a word about it from me. Now, climb onto the bed. I’ll read you a story. Early to bed, early to rise.”

“Then you should sleep too. Practice what you preach.” she harrumphed and folded her hands, turning around so he could only see her back.

Phoenix sighed.

“It’s great then. Someone will not follow me to explore the Peaky cave next month. I feel so relieved.” he stretched his body after placing the fan on the bed.

“Peaky cave?” she spun to face him and wore a big, bright smile.

“Hehe, I’m going to sleep now, eldest brother.”

In a jiffy, she had already climbed onto the bed and let Peter tuck her in.

“So you still have your days, eh? I feel avenged.” Peter said with a mocking chuckle.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing this, Beatrix nodded, wearing an all too familiar pitiful face. She sniffed with red eyes. It seemed her tears would drop at any point.

“Eldest brother, you see when you and big sis weren’t around, big brother… he…”

“Hahaha, we played a nice game and had fun for a while. But we soon got bored. It’s no big deal.” Peter quickly said while covering Beatrix’s mouth.

Why did she plan on using her killer move tonight? Is she that pissed?

“Peter…” Phoenix called.

Peter’s heart started beating twice as fast. He’s definitely going on another annoying mission again.

“You just read a story to her. And when my mate’s out, tell her I had an emergency; I’ll come back for her as soon as I’m done with the thing. I’m off!”

“Eh? Where are you going?” Peter could not believe his ears. His punishment was to read the little Riri a story? More like a blessing instead! He wanted to jump up for joy but knew to maintain his calm.

“I have some other vital matters to attend to,” Phoenix replied and got off the bed, picking up the fan.

“Eldest brother… you’re leaving me with him?” Beatrix couldn’t believe what was happening.

“Um… I’m sorry but I really have to go. Let Peter take my place, alright? I’ll make it up to you.”

“Big brother…”

“Ssh! Cute girls are compliant. That’s when they become likeable.”

“But how docile is mum?”

“She is a lady and she is obedient. And don’t casually add to or deduct from a matter. I’ll make it up to you later.” Phoenix walked to Beatrix and kissed her forehead.

“Are we good?” he asked.

Beatrix nodded.

“Yes, eldest brother. We are good,” she replied.

“Alright then. Love you, Riri.”

“Me too,” she smiled. Her eyes were red. It wasn’t because he was leaving. It’s coz of something else.

“Ok. Be safe, big bro.” Peter said with a small smile.

“Hmmm,” Phoenix nodded. He walked to the table and waved at them before light covered him and he vanished.

Now that he was gone, Peter’s smile vanished. He turned to face his little sis.

“I’m gonna read you something very intriguing.”

He sat beside her on the bed and took out a red book written in a strange language. Seeing the book, she immediately sat up.

“You’re not gonna read me that, are you?” she asked with a shaky voice.

“What’s wrong with hearing about the history of the Wizs?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

“No. I want something else. History is too boring.” she grumbled.

“Ok then. I do have another choice for you.” he took out a black book with red vines on the cover.

He smiled as he showed the book to her.

“This is your second option.”

“No third alternative?”

He shook his head.

“Nah! No third option, Riri,”

Beatrix gulped. The title of the second book was ‘The troublesome flowers’. It may seem like an interesting book about beautiful ladies and romance but really it’s not. It was a horror story. Half a page of this book that she glanced at last year made her have sleepless nights. This book served the purpose of building the heart’s strength and courage. A wizard or witch from time to time would go on missions. None of them was a stroll in the park. If one was not valiant, he/she wouldn’t be able to do so.

But she was still a babe. How can he read this sort of book to her? Is he truly her brother?

“History it is then. Just read it to me.” she sighed and rested her back on the bed.

“You are not allowed to fall asleep until I’m done reading the first 20 pages,” Peter warned. Beatrix felt like crying.

“Big sis, come rescue me.” she wished in her heart.

As if her prayers just got answered, the door to the bathroom opened and Lavana came out.

Peter was already reading from the first page of the large book.

“King Eraticus, the first king of the wiz…”

“Hey, Beatrix doesn’t want to listen to all that bland stuff. You can go. I will read her bedtime stories.”

“But…” Peter was unwilling and unhappy.

“You want me to cook you for dinner?” she threatened.

“My meat is not tasty. Don’t eat me.” he feigned being scared for some seconds before dropping the act.

“Last time, I was surprised; that’s why you could do as you please. Now I’m all set.” his golden scepter appeared and started glowing.

“You wanna have a try with your measly fireball?” he asked mockingly.

“Dumb.” Lavana walked to him and pushed him aside. Then she sat on the bed and brought Beatrix closer to her, putting her hands around the little one’s shoulders.

“Don’t be afraid. Big sis is here,” she whispered and Beatrix nodded with a bright smile.

“I’m not afraid. But he bullied me.” she pouted.

“I can see that. What do you want me to do to him, Rixie?”

“Hello, ladies, I’m right here. Be done quickly with your unneeded fluffy scene and let me do my job, alright!”

“Your job? Bedtime tales. That’s what you’re supposed to read to a kid. Who reads horrors or history? Are you insane?”

“I won’t mind that you’re my brother’s mate. Who are you to lecture me?” Peter snapped.

“Exactly as you said. I’m Phoenix’s mate,” she replied with a smile.

“You don’t even look as pretty as our servant girls. How can he accept you as his mate? Maybe he has other plans?”

“I’m not pretty?” Lavana asked.

“You aren’t. Look at how skinny you are and your tanned skin.”

“What’s wrong with tanned skin?”

“Nothing. The problem lies with the one wearing it.”

“Big brother, don’t say another word.” Beatrix couldn’t help but warn him. Lavana was pissed here.

Peter thought she had just the firepower and so he wasn’t scared. But he doesn’t know her big sis is a tribrid. He would be toast if she was angered more than this. But this dumb big brother didn’t take the warning.

“My brother’s standards must have fallen really low, or maybe you bewitched him? What’s there to like in you? You have no flesh…”

“That’s it!” Lavana stretched her right hand but Beatrix quickly embraced her tummy.

“Big sis. Don’t mind him. He’s a dummy, alright. Don’t lower yourself to his level.” Beatrix beseeched but Peter, who didn’t comprehend what was going on, became unhappy that Riri just called him a dummy.

A certified wizard was a dummy?

In battle, a werewolf was crafty but wiz bloods are dangerous. They unleash their all and are craftier than all shifters. He has never failed any mission given to him until now. That shows how strong he was both in heart and physically, though Phoenix was thousands of miles above him.

“Beatrix! You call me a fool?” he asked glumly.

“Don’t put words in my mouth. I said you’re a dummy, a blockhead.”
