Next day.
Imperial palace.
Beatrix's room.
5:30 am.

Lavana walked out of the dressing room garbed in an ankle-length, plain light yellow gown made of the best silk. Despite being a little loose, it didn't hide her curves. Her hair had been braided into a single ponytail. She took off the flip-flops and changed into black low flats.
She saw the little girl was still sleeping and sighed. She didn't want to wake her up. She seemed to be enjoying her sleep.
Phoenix said he would be here by 6. Well, since she was already prepared, she should just spend the last few minutes with the little girl. She climbed onto the bed and lay beside Beatrix, hugging her from behind while gently stroking her hair.
....
Phoenix had appeared in the room and gently tapped his sleeping mate on her right shoulder. She opened her eyes and turned her head to see that it was Phoenix. He's dressed in a black t-shirt that stopped above his belly button, white crop jacket and white pants with white converse to top it all.
She flashed a smile and quietly got off the bed. "Sullivan, good morning." she greeted.
He smiled. "Morning, darling. Did you have a good sleep?" he pecked her forehead.
She nodded and then mind linked. "You?"
"I slept well."
"Um.. Please, can you help me write a letter to her?"
"A letter?" he took out paper and pen from his storage ring. "So what do you want written down?"
"You aren't shocked that I can't read?"
"What's there to be shocked about? Being in your situation in that damn pack all those years with no access to books or even a friend, that's understandable. After the competition, I will teach you, Lavie. So back to the topic. What do you want me to write down?"
"Um..."
"Oh wait. I think this option will be better. She can hear your voice all over again if she wants." he took out a strange device that she'd never seen.
"Alright, say what you wanna say." he placed the device on the table.

She began. "Um, my sweet little sis, Beatrix. I love you so much. If you're hearing this, I might've already left.for the competition. I'll miss you a lot, baby girl. But I must go. Phoenix will accompany me and we'll return with the victory. I want you to take good care of yourself. Don't spend the nights sleepless and eat healthy, do some bodily training, enjoy nature. I will return to you like a thief and surprise you."
At this point, Phoenix walked to Lavana and placed his arm around her shoulder.

"Baby girl, we'll be back soon. Do as your big sis said. I want to see a happy little girl full of life when I return. " he then kissed a stunned Lavana briefly and faced the device again.
"Sullivan..." she called out in a whisper, wearing a puzzled face.
"Oh, this device can also let her see us too." he clarified.
"Really?" her eyes widened and she arranged her clothes. "Do I look good now?"
"You always do. Even if you become a skeleton, you'll be a goddess still."
"Hey, who's a skeleton?" she pulled his right ear.
"Ow! It's me. It's me!" he wailed.
"Hmph!" she let go of his ear, dropped her frowning face and smiled at the device. "Beatrix, when we return from the competition, our wedding will be very close. Nah, don't practice that amazing dance yet. Wait till we return with the good news."
Light covered them as they waved and both vanished.

Not long after, Beatrix got out of bed and ran to the device. She pressed a button and a holographic image of Lavana showed.
She'd been pretending to be asleep as she was afraid she won't let Lavana leave. After seeing and listening to what was recorded, she smashed the device in two.
"Big sis, Eldest brother, I will wait for the good news. Watching this all over again will only make me do the opposite." she whispered before going back to bed.
The servants will soon be here to help her bathe and do other stuff.
...
Meanwhile, Phoenix and Lavana, who had appeared at a distance outside the room, watched Beatrix's actions through the open window with a puzzled face.
"So she wasn't sleeping? And why did she smash that device?" she couldn't help but ask her mate.
"For a good reason, dear. You told her not to have sleepless nights."
"Then a letter would still have been the best."
"She'd still destroy it, especially since it's not your handwriting."
"That girl..." Lavana sighed.
"Well, she's got an excellent memory and can play it over and over in her head. Come on, let's go. We have to catch up with the Blood stars." he urged and she nodded in agreement.
*****

Greuston suites.
Jygane city.

Alpha Chase was seated on a rocking chair close to the private pool that came with his lodged residence. He was holding a glass of red wine while on a phone call.
"Hold on. You're telling me that Rox Frost cannot even find a pathetic omega wolf after four days? I wanted her found before yesterday but nah, I got no news. Now you call to tell me this gibberish?" he barked.

"Please rein your anger, Alpha king Chase. I assure you, we are doing our best."
"Your damn best isn't good enough!" Chase barked. His eyes had turned red.
"Alpha Chase, I've been wanting to ask you. Are you sure that the person we're looking for is really an omega? Coz if she was, we'd have found her in a maximum of 2 days no matter where she wants to hide in this world. This is the first time we encounter such a case of not finding a simple omega wolf you claim she is."
"She is a bloody omega. Forget it." Alpha Chase cut the call and threw the phone elsewhere in rage. His chest heaved up and down as his look turned even more sinister.

"Lavana, Lavana. You must feel so great, huh? You're being secured by the strong person you met with. That's why they can't find you. I'm pretty sure you've become an Olmpha by now. But so what? In my eyes, you're still that pathetic omega. If you know what's good for you, don't attend the competition to challenge me or you'll surely regret it." he thought with gritted teeth. In his pocket was a bottle containing a black liquid. The black sorcerer behind his mom, Anita, had given in case he encountered the Olmpha. A normal Olmpha has four tails- 3 more than an Alpha. So this liquid will let him assume that identity for 8 hours. There was a repercussion though. That's why it was a last resort if he saw she was too dangerous for his wolf form to beat.

He had grand ambitions to rank first in this competition and he wasn't gonna let anything stop him.
His mate, who had been swimming with only a see-through pink bra on in the pool, got out and suddenly took off the bra. She wore a smile as she walked to him. Chase's face no longer looked that sinister now. His mate was really good; she had become pregnant with his child. She was going to give brith to a son- his heir! He brought her along because she was very eager to see what the triennial competition was like, as she'd never gotten to attend.

"Chase honey, you wanna see if the baby will let you in?" she asked with a grin. Without waiting for his answer, she turned around so he could see her back view. She bent over and spreading her legs apart to reveal her tempting c*nt.
"If you like what you see honey, come on in and eat this delicious meal in front of you." she beckoned.
"I'm not hungry," Chase replied with a frowning face. This bitch of a mate!
Can't she tell he's unhappy here? He's seen that hole thousands of times. He's not even in the mood. An Olmpha is out there on the loose that could threaten his position and here she was, showing that hole to him? Doesn't she have any other skills? This mate of his does whatever she likes, commanding others to do the simplest of things after becoming Luna. He somehow started to get fed up with her but then she told him she'd become pregnant and it was a boy.
His mate straightened her body and asked him why he responded that way.

"I have no appetite, honey. I have more pressing matters to attend to now." he replied.
"But you can release your anger in this c*nt of mine," she whined.
"If it weren't because you were pregnant, I would have spurned you right away. Get out, you annoying fly." he barked while pointing toward the exit.
"Chase... you..." she was too stunned to say another word.
"The only thing you know is how to open your legs to please me. But do you know how tiring it is to have to f*ck one damn p*ssy all the time with the same familiar moans? Even while on your period, you still beg for it. Now you're pregnant and you can see I'm in a bad mood. Instead of asking what's wrong or even massaging me, you just bend and show me that same hole that I've lost interest in?"
"Chase..." Jacinta could not believe what she was hearing.
"Shut it. Get out of here this instant."
"I'm your Luna." her voice showed how hurt she was by his words.
"So you think you're equal to me now, huh? Just because you've seen my nakedness, my scars and even know my weakness. That makes you the second ruler of my pack, huh?"
"Chase!"
"Get the heck out of here now, Jacinta. I won't repeat it again."
"Chase, so I mean nothing to you?" she asked with her hands placed on her chest. Tears were flowing down her eyes.
An irked Chase immediately rose from the chair and rushed at her at a great speed. He held her by the throat and tightened his grip.
"You stupid girl. Do you think I have time to play with you?"
"Chase.... let go..." she managed to say while coughing.
"You say you want it so badly, huh?"
"I wanna leave. I don't... want it anymore." she mind linked him in reply.

"Well, I want it now. You are my mate. Your duty is to serve me and make me happy. You wanted to see if our unborn baby would let me in? Even if he doesn't want it, he has to put up with it." he pinned her to the floor and took out his huge member with a wicked smile. He spread her legs apart.
"I'm tired of pounding just one hole. Let's see what the other one has in store for this king."
Hearing this, her eyes widened. He was going to do her in her a*shole? No, she wasn't ready for this. His member was too big. She might not survive it. She vigorously shook her head while begging him telepathically to stop. She would do anythbing he asked.
Chase, however, did not listen to her.
"You brought this upon yourself, dear. Remember that, Jacinta." he laughed as he suddenly forced his shaft in her a*shole, causing her to scream. Chase slapped her hard in annoyance.
"Shut it. You sound like some pig being slaughtered. I want you to moan for me or else I won't mind showing you how cruel I can be." his hips started moving back and forth quickly. Jacinta could not do as he asked coz she was in a lot of pain. She was questioning her life at this moment. Was this her mate who was very gentle on their first night together?
.....
30 minutes later.
After kicking his unconscious mate into the pool, he left through the entrance/exit door. He then ordered the pack warrior who had been standing guard outside the door to take his mate to their lodged residence while he headed towards another suite. He had made the hotel staff evacuate whoever was residing in there. That bitch of a mate can have the suite they lodged all to herself!
"Lavana, when I find you, I'll make you beg for death!" he swore as he slammed the door shut. He lay on the king-sized bed sprawled.
Lately, he'd been frustrated by his wolf spirit, Ivan. Whenever he has s3x with his mate, it's that cursed Lavana's face that appears in his mind. An improved version of Lavana who wasn't skinny with a body that made Jacinta's body look less tempting. His temper was worsening.
Even just now, when he forced himself on Jacinta, all he saw was Lavana's face. His wolf had refused to speak to him since the day he rejected Lavana. He didn't understand what this bastard saw in that lowlife to become enemies with him.

&&&&&&&
Blood star pack.

The chosen elites who were to partake in the triennial competition had just left in 2 jeeps. They were now 30 minutes away from the pack territory. They departed late at 6:15 because of some unexpected delays. The journey ahead was a long and tiring one. But no matter what, they must arrive at the competition venue tonight.
Rolandro and Mel were seated at the back of the grey jeep that was at the front while two pack members were at the front with one of them, a female driving.
"That Phoenix guy is so unreliable. We've driven for so long but didn't find him and Lavana along the way." Rolandro complained, with arms folded.
"He's not." Mel objected.
"Eh? *furrow eyebrows* What makes you say so?" Rolandro asked his friend with a perplexed look.
"They are ahead waiting for us." Mel pointed forward and Rolandro looked forward. He saw the both of them. He instructed the one driving to stop.
Then they got out to meet the two.
"Hello, Rolandro, Mel. We meet again." Phoenix greeted with a smile, his right hand extended for a handshake, but Rolandro didn't take it, unlike Mel.
"Why did you take her away?" Rolandro queried. It made them so worried before they saw that text on Me's wife's phone.
"Where is Beatrix and how did you all manage to leave without even a fly in our pack noticing? How also did you even get Mel's mate's number?"
"First of all, I'm her mate..." Phoenix got interrupted by Lavana, who cleared her throat after stepping on left foot.
"Rolandro, Mel. I'm so, so sorry for what I put you guys through."
"Girl, a simple letter left on the table would have done a lot of good. You know that?" Rolandro scolded.
"Em... I didn't have time to do so. I'm sorry for all the problems I caused." she bowed her head.

Rolandro sighed. "It's all right. *points at Phoenix* And you.... I don't care whether you are stronger and smarter than me. All I know is that you should have a sense of responsibility."
"*rolls eyes* Says the one who abandoned his wife at home." Phoenix said with folded arms while looking away.
"Sullivan!" Lavana stepped on his foot again.
"Hey, stop stepping on my foot, Lavie. Do you want me to become paralysed before the competition?"
"What did you promise me?" she asked with a frown.
"To be a good boy." Phoenix replied and dropped his hands. Then he turned to face the two men and apologized.
"Phoenix, how can you say he abandoned his wife at home?" she scolded.
"I already apologized."
"You need to watch what you say, mate..."

Rolandro facepalmed and sighed. This shameless bickering duo! None of the questions he asked were answered but here they are, bickering about language. Oh, look, they're even talking about who is taller when Lavana is clearly shorter than her mate. Sigh. Life really loves to mess with someone!
He just turned around and silently headed back to the jeep to sit. These two will not give him a headache. Ah, he was missing his mate even more. At such times like this, her excellent massage would put him at ease along with her encouraging words. If not for the vital competition and the state of their pack, he didn't want to leave his pregnant wife at all. He prayed things would go well this time.
Mel joined him after discussing a bit with the couple. He took facepalmed upon getting in.

"This Phoenix needs a beating." he was forced to confess while his buddy sniggered.
"You're the one who decided to chat with them for longer. That Phoenix is a weirdo." said Rolando as he opened a can of beer.
"But he is strong. That's a fact that can't be denied." Mel remarked.
"I don't know if he's strong enough to beat an Alpha."
"He would already be one if he did." Mel stated before taking out his phone. He entered his gallery and started looking at pictures of his wife and him together. Ah, he's missing that mate of his so much. He won't be able to see her belly slowly protrude!
Rolandro patted his back to comfort him.
"Don't worry, buddy. Things will be alright." he comforted and Mel nodded after sniffing. "Yeah, it will. I have faith. We'll make it!."
...
Phoenix and his mate got into the back seat of the second jeep. They greeted the two who were seated at the front.
"Lavana, you really got us worried yesterday. The party couldn't hold when we found you were missing. Everyone ditched what they were doing to look for you and Beatrix." the red-haired pack warrior in the front passenger seat said.
"It's my fault, guys. I'll make it up to you." Phoenix apologized and the two pack warriors harrumphed.
"You'd better." the one seated on the driver's seat who wore a white hat said before igniting the engine.
"I'm called Phoenix. May I know yours?" Phoenix asked.
