“Hey! How dare you say that?” Phoenix barked, and Lavana suddenly let go of his ears.


    “Lavana, did you have to exert that much strength? What did I do to you?” he whined.


    “What did you promise me?”


    “To filter my words.” Phoenix replied, looking at the floor.


    “And what did you do now?”


    “The opposite.” Phoenix said meekly.


    Dante tried his best not tough but couldn’t help it. He covered his mouth as his body trembled. Here he was thinking Lavana would be pitiful in this rtionship. Who knew it was the opposite? Rndro himself was stunned too. He could never associate the meek, shy Lavana of the past with the one he was currently seeing. He hadn’t seen her in one day and she’s changed so much. But it’s also a good thing that she can tame this bad-mouthed mate of hers.


    “Man, you’re lucky today or I’d have taught you a lesson.” Phoenix whispered as he passed by Rndro.


    “*scoff* I’m not afraid.” thetter replied.


    “But you almost pissed your pants, man. I’t’s not good to lie. Haha.” Phoenix chuckled as he walked ahead.


    Lavana followed after him carrying a nylon containing food. She would eat these along the way.


    Rndro sighed.


    At this rate, if they even arrived at the venue early morning, it was already good. By then, they’d be exhausted. How were they gonnapete in that state when they barely had rest? As they all got in the vehicles, Phoenix mind liked his mate that was in the other jeep.


    “Lavie honey, I n on applying a little magic here.”


    “You wanna make the vehicles move faster?” she replied telepathically.


    “Yup. They won’t notice. Besides, I don’t want our grouppeting in an awful shape.”


    “Alright.” Lavana nodded. “Just be careful.” she reminded.


    “It’s a simple thing for me, mate.” he replied.


    “Mind linking your mate, huh?” Dante asked as he turned the page of a magazine he found in Zyair’s bag.


    “Mind your business.” Phoenix hissed.


    “Seems he’s upset about not being allowed to sit with his mate.” Zyair mind linked Dante.


    “But they can mind link at least and looking at him, I don’t think he’s upset.” Dante replied telepathically.


    “Whatever. Our destination is 10 hours away.”


    “Which means so long as there isn’t any stopping or traffic or any other emergency, we’ll arrive at the venue at 2:am. Sigh. I’ll sleep. If you’re tired. Please tell me so I can take over.” Dante offered.


    “No. I’m not, Dante.”


    “Okay. I’ll sleep first. If you’re tired, please tell me, me.”


    “Noted. Now, you can go tond.” Zyair said before Dante closed his eyes.


    “Girl, I’ve decided.” Phoenix mind linked his mate, who was about dozing off.


    “Wha…. What have you decided?” she asked.


    “I’m going to shorten the distance by 8 hours.”


    “That…”


    “Don’t worry.”


    “Okay. As for me, I’m gonna sleep.”


    “Sorry for disturbing you, my dear.”


    “No, you didn’t disturb me.” she replied before closing her eyes.


    Phoenix looked at the sleeping Dante and Zyair, who was focused on driving.


    He closed his eyes and pressed his palms together. “Clone.” he muttered and then vanished. In his ce, a sleeping clone was left. The real Phoenix appeared above the jeep.


    “Now this is way morefortable.” he sat cross-legged and gathered a ball of golden light. His eyes glowed and two golden bracelets appeared on his wrists.


    “By mymand, speed up.” he muttered and both vehicles’ speed increased.


    “What’s happening?” Zyair eximed.


    He turned his head and saw that both Dante and Phoenix were asleep. He was the one driving and he’d been driving at 150 kph. Now though he was holding the damn steering wheel, it seemed the jeep was out of his control but surprisingly moving in a straight line and even so fast? What the heck was happening?


    Those in the other jeep were worried too.


    “Zehelina, what are you doing?” Mel asked in worry.


    “It’s not me. I swear. I can’t drive like this. You know me.” the female pack warrior said in distress.


    “Then this is strange. Is the vehicle possessed?” Rndro asked. He turned his head and saw that the jeep behind was as fast as theirs.


    “Look. It’s not just us. Even the other jeep is facing this situation.” he pointed out. Mel turned his head and eximed in shock.


    “This is serious.” Mel said in rm.


    “What’s happening?” Lavana asked after opening her eyes.


    “For some reason, the vehicle is out of my control. I don’t know why it’s like this and Rndro says the jeep behind is also facing the same issue. It’s like the two vehicles are possessed.” Zehelina said worriedly.


    “Oh,” Lavana closed her eyes again, stunning the others.


    “She really closed her eyes to sleep? Is there something we don’t know here?” Mel asked.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    “Rx. We’re safe.” Lavana muttered.


    “Rx? Lavana, how can you say that? We’re gonna die without even reaching the venue and you’re telling us to rx?” Rndro scolded.


    “What is the mystery?” Zehelina asked.


    “Don’t you wish we get there on time and have a good rest before tomorrow?” Lavana asked with her eyes still closed.


    “Of course. But what’s this?”


    “Zehelina, stop trying so hard. You guys should simply rx. We’ll be there soon. Trust me.” shsaid before closing her eyes again.


    The vehicles’ speed increased again and this made them frightened. They became jealous of the sleeping Lavana. She wasn’t even worried and snored! How hateful!


    ….


    30 minutester.


    The two jeeps suddenly came to a halt and the people inside all came down to vomit.


    They saw that the couple were still sleeping.


    “I’m afraid gto drive. Mel please take over.” Zehelina said after puking in the nearby bush.


    “Fine. I’m confused, How the heck did our vehicles exceed the 360 limit and still not crash into anything?” Mel asked as he clutched his gut.


    “I dunno. If this wasn’t our only means of getting to the venue, I really don’t wanna enter.”


    “This Phoenix is snoring so loudly.” Danteined while coughing. “I want to switch cars.”


    “Nah. That’s not possible.” Zyair said. “Unless you mean the two should sit together again.”


    “We don’t know what’s wrong with the vehicles.” Zehelina said with a shiver.


    “Lavana knows something. That’s why she’s rxed. I guess this must be Phoenix’s handwork.” Rndro said.


    “Phoenix? But he’s snoring so loudly.” Dante protested.


    “So? He can fake it. I need to search him.” Rndro walked to the second jeep and opened the car door.


    “Hey, Phoenix. Wake up!” he said, lightly hitting Phoenix’s face.


    Thetter opened his eyes and all felt a murderous aura.
