I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“Aleena, Kyson was so worried about you that he left everything behind and came back as soon as he could.” Celia was happy that Kyson worried about me that much while I was ridden with guilt. I had disrupted his plans, and now it might take longer for him to prepare for the war with Andre.

I stood next to him while he, Beta Liam, and Gamma Hector talked about how best to protect me. I didn’t feel the need for them to go that far. The intruders didn’t really do anything to me, and they fled so fast. If they really wanted to harm me, they wouldn’t have escaped. I still think that their target was Kyson and not me.

But I didn’t say anything to Kyson since I knew they were all worried about my safety, their Luna. I accepted when Kyson decided I would have three guards following around when he wasn’t here.

“Alpha, Luna, we need to talk.” Suddenly, we heard Witch Lily’s soft voice.

We all turned to her and watched her walk away. Kyson and I followed her to her, but I realized Colton was tagging along happily as he pulled Alpha Lucas along with him.

“Why are you following us?” Kyson asked Colton.

“You know I like to know about everything,” Colton said in a happy voice while Alpha Lucas just shrugged helplessly as he had no choice but to follow Colton.

“You are such a busybody.” Kyson rolled his eyes at Colton but let them follow us.

I loved looking at and hearing their bantering. They had a great bromance going on between them.

We all entered Witch Lily’s hut and sat down. The small hut felt even smaller with the presence of three Alphas inside it.

Witch Lily went to look out her window, and we waited for her to speak.

After five minutes or so, she turned toward us and said, “In light of what had transpired this dawn, I suggest for Luna to depart as soon as possible.”

I felt Kyson’s body go rigid. “Didn’t you say you still need to gauge her potential?”

“Alpha, we all know their aim last night was the Luna, don’t we?” Witch Lily spoke softly.

My eyes widened as I felt shocked by her words.

“Their target was me? Not Kyson?” I couldn’t believe it. Why would they target me? Andre’s problem was with Kyson and not me.

Is Andre trying to make Kyson lose all his rationale by asking his people to kill him? But the intruders didn’t try to kill me. So why?

“Aleena, you are Kyson’s mate. If something happened to you, Kyson would go crazy and go on a rampage, disregarding his own safety,” Lucas spoke, confirming my thoughts.

“I won’t let anything bad happen to her,” Kyson growled dangerously.

“Hold on, what do you mean by Aleena needing to depart as soon as possible?” Colton asked Witch Lily.

“Aleena needs to go to a place to fight element beings to activate her witch power,” Kyson told Colton.

“Elemental beings?” Colton’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Can I go with her?” He was such a strange werewolf. Others would feel afraid or doubtful, but he seemed excited at the thought of fighting unknown and dangerous elemental beings.

“Nope, only those with witch’s abilities are able to enter the island,” Kyson told him.

“Awww… That’s too bad. I really wanna see and fight elemental beings,” Colton whined and pouted. I still couldn’t believe this was the same ruthless Alpha I had sparred with.

“So Aleena is going alone?” Alpha Lucas changed the subject calmly.

“No, Witch Lily will be going with me.” I glanced at Witch Lily, and she gave a slight nod.

“By the way, what will Aleena gain after she fights the elemental beings? I mean, what will she be able to do?” Colton spoke again.

“Once she defeats them, she’ll have their powers,” Witch Lily answered me.

“What kind of power?” Colton asked.

“Wind, earth, water, and fire.” This time, Kyson was the one who answered.

Colton’s eyes widened, and he started bouncing with excitement. “I can’t wait to see Aleena using those powers. It will be interesting, and poor Andre and Rose will have difficulties with her by our side.”

“Calm down, mate,” Alpha Lucas pulled Colton into his arms, and Colton happily wrapped his arms around Alpha Lucas’ body.

“She is gonna be powerful,” Colton said to Alpha Lucas softly.

“She is,” Alpha Lucas agreed with Colton.

While everyone was optimistic that I would be able to defeat those elemental beings and become stronger, I was pessimistic. I wasn’t sure if I could beat them. I didn’t even know what they looked like, much less how to defeat them. How does one defeat elemental beings?

“Alright, I think we need to return to my pack now,” Alpha Lucas said. His pack members must be confused since I was sure their Alpha and Luna suddenly went away with Kyson in the middle of telling the truth. Now I felt guilty again.

“I’m sorry to have worried you all,” I apologized to them.

“It’s no worries, Aleena. You are Kyson’s mate, and Kyson is my best friend. You don’t have to apologize for making us worry,” Colton replied in his cheerful tone.

“Thank you,” I said helplessly. Being Kyson’s mate seemed to be a double-edged sword. It was nice to have so many people worried about my safety, but at the same time, it made me feel guilty that they had to abandon whatever they were doing just to check on me.

“I can’t wait for you to come back. I want another sparring session with you when you have defeated those beings,” Colton said with excitement.

The thought of another sparring session with Colton and Ace excited me, too!

“I’m sure I can defeat you by then,” I grinned at him.

“Can’t wait for you to defeat me,” he winked. I guessed we were both alike, just as Celia had said. We loved to spar with someone powerful.

“Alrighty. We need to go now. Bye, all.” Colton and Lucas bid their farewells while Kyson and I stayed with Witch Lily.

“Witch Lily, when are we going?” I asked her.

“Tomorrow…” she said softly.

Tomorrow? That soon?

“Witch Lily, is it really necessary for Aleena to go?” Kyson began to worry again.

“It is, Alpha. It is necessary if she wants to kill Witch Rose,” Witch Lily said.

All my worries and doubts disappeared after the mention of killing Witch Rose.

“We’ll go tomorrow. I need to be the one who kills Witch Rose,” I said with determination.

Kyson sighed, knowing nothing, not even him, could change my mind.

“I need to prepare for our journey,” Witch Lily said, and we knew it was a cue for us to leave.

When we reached Kyson’s bedroom, he pulled me toward the bed and let me sit on his lap.

“Aleena, you don’t have to go. You are strong enough now,” he said softly.

“I know you worry about me, Kyson, and I thank you for it, but I need to become stronger than Witch Rose. And I can only do it if I go,” I replied softly, looking deep into his eyes, hoping he would understand.

He buried his face in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent. “Why do you hate Witch Rose so much? Shouldn’t you hate Andre more? He was the one who slandered and banished you.”

“Actually, it was all because of Witch Rose. She read my mind but twisted the truth. Andre might not banish me if she had told everyone the truth.” A bitter smile crept onto my face at the memory again.

Kyson didn’t say anything but just hummed in response.

“If I hadn’t been banished, I don’t know what would have become of me in that pack. They accused me of so many things; they might make me into a slave or, worse, kill me,” I whispered and shuddered at the thought.

Kyson’s hold on my body tightened, and his body began shaking. He was angry at the thought of me being a slave or being killed.

“But I’m thankful to be banished. If not, you wouldn’t have noticed me or realized I’m your mate,” I whispered. It was true, wasn’t it? If I was still in the Black Heart Pack, I might meet Kyson, but we wouldn’t know we were mates. Even if he knew, he would reject me for being Andre’s daughter.

“Now I got everything I always dreamt of. I have a wolf, I’m not weak, and I have a handsome and powerful mate, an Alpha Lycan no less,” I laughed softly.

My words calm him down. His grip on my body loosened, and his body started to stop shaking.

“I’m sorry for all those cruel things I did and said to you,” he apologized as he gazed deep into my eyes.

“It’s all in the past. I’m happy now. I’m at the happiest moment of my life right now, and it’s all because of you.” I smiled sweetly at him.

He smiled back and pecked my lips.

“Aleena, why didn’t you mindlink me when you saw the intruders?” he suddenly changed the subject.

“I didn’t want to interrupt your sleep, and I’m not sure if it would reach you. My mindlink didn’t seem to work that time.” Now, I wondered about it again. Why didn’t it work then when it could work now? I had tried mindlinking some pack members this morning, and it worked fine.

“Could it be because of Witch Rose? Do you think she put a spell on the intruders that might have affected my mindlinking ability? Kinda like a signal-blocker?” I asked him. It seemed like the only possibility.

“It might be…” Kyson stopped his sentence as he seemed to ponder something. “But if it was the case, then she is stronger than we think.”

Yeah… If she was able to do it, then she was no doubt powerful. She had many tricks and spells up her sleeves. I knew Witch Lily couldn’t do it. But Witch Rose was known as the strongest witch; it was not difficult to imagine her having so many spells.

“Aleena, you don’t have to force yourself. We can kill Witch Rose. We have many werewolves helping us, and Witch Lily is on our side, too,” he began to dissuade me from going again.

“Kyson, I NEED to do it. I need to go. Just like you want to be the one who kills Andre, I want to be the one killing Witch Rose, too.” I had made up my mind to kill Witch Rose with my own two hands, and no one could discourage me from doing it.

He sighed as he felt my determination again.

“Help me to prepare for tomorrow.” I stood up from his lap and pulled him toward my bedroom to pack.

He helped me pack, and that night, we slept together in his bedroom with our arms wrapped tightly around each other’s waists.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
