I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

I was jittery. My heart and mind were filled with excitement and fear. Today, Kyson would finally introduce me as his Luna, Luna of the crimson Blood Pack, to all the members. I truly hoped that they would accept me.

“Don’t worry, Aleena. They will accept you.” Kyson kept comforting me with the exact words since last night. But no matter what he said, I still felt nervous.

“Eat your breakfast, Aleena. I wouldn’t want the members to see a Luna suffering from hunger. They would think I was bullying you,” he teased me.

I had been moving my food around on my plate, not even taking a tiny bite of it.

“Please don’t worry, Luna. We will stand behind you, showing our support,” Beta Christine’s voice sounded.

I looked at the Betas and Gammas, who were smiling encouragingly at me, and I was grateful for them.

“Okay.” With them supporting me, my fear and doubt slowly began to dissipate. I started eating my food, and my stomach was full before long.

“Ready?” Kyson stood up and offered his hand for me to take. I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his, letting him pull me along with him.

Reaching the main pack grounds and seeing all the pack members gathering together raised the fear inside me again. I felt Kyson’s hand grip me tighter; his warmth gave me comfort and assurance that my fear and anxiety were simply unfounded.

Yes, the most important people in the pack are by my side; I have nothing to worry about, I kept retelling myself.

Kyson and I stood in front of the pack members while Beta Liam, Beta Christine, Gamma Hector, Gamma Lisa, and even Witch Lily stood behind us, silently showing them their support.

“As you all know by now, I am the Alpha of this pack, the Crimson Blood Pack,” Kyson said with authority.

“At this point in time, there are no more secrets in our pack. And without further ado, I would like to introduce you to my destined mate, Aleena, the Luna of the Crimson Blood Pack.” Kyson stopped his words and gazed through all the pack members, scrutinizing if any of them would object.

When the pack members stayed silent, hopefully in agreement and acknowledgment, Kyson nudged me forward gently to give a speech.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down before stepping forward and straightening my body.

“I know I might not be what all of you had expected. I used to be weak, but I promised to stand by your side when the war comes. I will get stronger for all of you, as it is my duty of being your Luna. I will do everything in my power to protect you.” I said with all the confidence I could muster, looking at each of them, conveying my sincerity.

Most of them nodded and looked at me in awe. Their perception and the way they treated me had changed since I helped them with their protective spells.

“Is there anyone who disagrees with my decision?” Kyson asked the members.

When they all stayed silent in agreement, I breathed out a sigh of relief, but my feeling of ease didn’t last long when a female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

“I disagree!” the female loud voice sounded from otherwise the silent group.

I looked at the source of the voice to see none other than Gia, who had spoken up. Who else would it be other than her? I wasn’t surprised by it.

I saw the members around her trying to talk to her, to stop her from talking nonsense. Even the Omegas who had hated me before were holding her hands, trying to hold her back.

But Gia was determined to stop me from being their Luna. She shook off the hands that were holding hers, turned a deaf ear on all those who tried to stop her, and stepped forward in front of all the pack members.

“She needs to show us that she’s capable of being our Luna. And thus, I challenged her for the position of the Luna of this pack!” She said arrogantly.

A roar of voices came from the group. Some were in disbelief that she was laying down a challenge, saying she was out of her mind; some were persuading her to stop her arrogant act, but she ignored all of them.

“Isn’t it within the law to allow pack members to challenge for the position of an Alpha, much less a Luna?” She smiled arrogantly as she folded her hands in front of her chest.

To be honest, with her confident and arrogant attitude, she indeed would make an excellent Luna.

“Or are you afraid to take on my challenge?” She raised her eyebrow and mocked me.

“Yes, there is.” I nodded, not backing away from her taunting words.

“Since she has agreed, then we shall proceed. I’ll fight for the Luna position with my human form and wolf form,” she said as if she was already the Luna of the pack.

I looked at her calmly, not bothered by the challenge at all.

I felt Kyson’s hand around my arm as he pulled my back slightly.

“Aleena, are you sure you want to do this?” His intense gaze fixed on my eyes.

I let out a laugh. “Kyson, are you worried that I’ll lose? Don’t you have faith in me?” I teased him.

“I know you won’t lose in your human form; you can match Colton’s and my speed, which very few people can.” He kept looking at me intently.

“But…?” I asked. I knew he was worried about something else.

He kept silent. I knew he was hesitant to tell me the rest of his words. “But you only had only shifted once. You were in agony last night during your first shift, and we don’t know Celia’s strength yet.”

“Are you worried about me, Kyson?” I teased him again.

“You are my mate; what do you think?” he nearly snapped at me, yet I laughed in response.

“Thank you for worrying about me and Celia, Kyson. You are the best mate! But try not to underestimate Celia’s strength. She told me that she’s the strongest female wolf in the world.” I grinned. I believed in Celia.

“I’ll ask you this one last time. Are you sure, Aleena?” This time, I heard the concern in his voice.

“I’m sure.” I nodded without hesitation.

“Alright. If it gets too much, just admit defeat,” he told me.

Admit defeat? Even if I’m dying during the challenge, I will never admit defeat!

“Do you want Gia to be your Luna?” I asked him.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He was shocked by my words. Did he not think that if I admitted defeat, then Gia would be his Luna instead of me?

“Never!” he said firmly.

“Then I’ll win for you.” I winked and planted a kiss on his lips. “Trust me, Kyson. I won’t let you down. I’ll never let anyone be your Luna except me!”

He sighed helplessly, but I saw the corner of his lips lift into a small smile, and his eyes were shining with delight when suddenly he pulled me into his arms and captured my lips with his, kissing me passionately for all to see.

“You are hot when you act all arrogant and possessive,” he smirked.

I blushed but told him, “Trust Celia and me.”

He turned toward the pack members and said, “As per the rule, the challenge will be divided into two parts. The first will be a fight in the human form, and the second will be a fight in the wolf form. Each fight will be ten minutes, except if one admits defeat before the ten minutes is up.”

Gia and I stepped forward while the rest of them stepped backward, giving us space to fight.

“Oh, before that, I want the protective spells on us to be deactivated,” Gia said. All the pack members were now able to see the floating balls, courtesy of Witch Lily.

I smiled and waved my hand. The protective spells around both of us suddenly exploded and disappeared.

“Is that enough for you?” I smiled calmly.

My calmness seemed to enrage Gia as she suddenly delivered a kick straight at my face. I dodged it easily before delivering a kick at Gia’s right waist. My kick was fast and precise, giving Gia no time to block it, and she was sent to the ground by my one attack.

“Don’t be so arrogant just because you can hit me once,” Gia snarled at me.

She threw a hook at my right face but withdrew a second later before delivering a left hook. I was able to block them effortlessly. Thanks to the sparring sessions with both Kyson and Colton, her punches felt like slow motions.

I kept standing calmly, just waiting for her to attack me. She kept throwing punches and kicks, and I did nothing except than blocking them.

“You are so weak. You can’t even retaliate,” Gia sneered arrogantly.

Oh, Gia… You didn’t know that I was just letting you have your fun…

“Five minutes before shifting,” I heard Liam’s voice.

Five minutes… This is my time.

I threw a punch straight at Gia’s abdomen before she realized what was happening, and then another one at her face, sending her backward from the force. I twirled on my spot and delivered a flying kick straight at the side of her head before she could recover from my previous attack.

She couldn’t even block or evade any of my attacks as she gasped and fell to the ground. I heard the crowd murmuring in awe.

“Still want to go on?” I smirked at Gia, who was still lying on the ground.

Gia shook her head to get rid of her daze state and stood up with a trembling body. “This is not the end yet.”

She began attacking me recklessly, leaving so many spots open for me to attack. I blocked and evaded her attacks, successfully hitting her after each of her attacks. It was too easy.

“Time’s up! It’s time to shift!” Liam’s voice was heard again.

Gia had so many bruises on her body, yet she smirked as she wiped the blood on her lips with the back of her hand.

“You might have the upper hand in your human form, but I’ll crush you with my wolf,” she said with so much smug and arrogance.

I heard the cracking of her bones being broken as she started to shift, while I still smiled calmly without even trying to shift yet.

“Aleena, be careful. Gia’s wolf is one of the strongest in our pack,” I heard Kyson’s worried voice through our mindlink.

“Thank you for worrying about us, Kyson, but trust me. You have nothing to worry about.” I smiled.

I saw Gia transformed fully into her wolf. Her wolf was dark brown in color, looking quite big and menacing.

“She’s smaller than us, and she still had the audacity to say we’ll lose,” Celia snorted in my mind.

“Come on, Aleena, let’s show her who the Luna is,” Celia said, and I began my shifting process.
