I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

As my surroundings changed again, I wiped my tears. I was heartbroken for my dad and mom but could do nothing about it. Instead, I looked around to see what Rose and Andre wanted me to see.

I was in a chamber with so many babies, and most of them were crying. This scene felt familiar. Suddenly, I felt the uneasiness I had experienced before. It was when I couldn’t remember my dreams but only remembered the cries of babies. Did I dream about this scene? Why would I dream about this?

I walked around and saw more than half of the babies were not breathing anymore. I gasped. They were only skin and bones and black in color as if their souls had been sucked out of them. Who… Who would do this to innocent babies? This is inhumane!

Is this what really happened to the newborn werewolves in the history where they said the Lycanthropes kidnapped them and caused the great war between werewolves and Lycanthropes? But Andre had ensured all the Lycanthropes were killed… except for Kyson.

This couldn’t be the work of the Crimson Blood Pack, could it? Did they do this as an act of revenge? If this was true, then… I shivered from dread. No, I shook my head, not wanting to believe that the Crimson Blood Pack would be so heartless. They wouldn’t do this just for Kyson.

Suddenly, I heard the creaking sound of the chamber’s door being opened. I looked toward the opened door and saw two people walking. I was shocked. No, I shouldn’t have felt shocked anymore, seeing how they heartlessly tricked all the werewolves into killing the Lycans. Andre and Rose – they were the definition of the devil incarnate.

But what was the point of them doing this?

“Let’s start. We can’t delay this much further. I need to find the were-baby,” Andre said, and they walked toward one of the crying babies.

Rose placed her hands on the baby, chanted a spell, and, as usual, the baby was enveloped in glowing yellow light. I kept my gaze on the baby and gasped as the yellow light disappeared. The baby had turned into skin and bones and was black in color, just like the many lifeless babies there! I was so furious I wanted to kill them right there and then.

My body trembled, and my canines and claws actually elongated even though I had no real body, but I quickly got a hold of myself and calmed down. There was no use in shifting and getting mad when I couldn’t do anything about it.

“Are you sure you are doing the right thing? We had experimented on so many were-babies, yet they all ended up dead,” Andre snapped at Rose.

“Calm down, Andre. You know there’ll only be one baby destined to kill the Lycan. It’s only natural for the rest to die. Only one baby can withstand my sealing spell, and that baby will be the chosen one,” Rose told Andre.

It’s only natural? IT’S ONLY NATURAL FOR WERE-BABIES TO DIE?! Monsters! Andre and Rose are monsters! I had never met anyone as monstrous as them!

They started to begin the same process on the next were-baby, and the next, and the next, until half of the lived babies ended up in the same state as the dead were-babies. They didn’t even blink or hesitate when they did the process. The only emotion shown was from Andre – he became more and more frustrated with each dead were-babies.

As they were moving on to the next were-baby, the door of the chamber was knocked on.

“Come in!” Andre yelled at whoever it was who was knocking on the door.

The door opened, and I saw two men I recognized – the Beta and Gamma of the Black Heart Pack. They were in this, too? They knew this was happening and joined in the operation instead of stopping them? Now I realized why they all belonged to the Black Heart Pack. It suits them to the core!

“Alpha, Luna, we bought another baby. We think this one is special. She’s the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Silver Shadow Pack, and her birthmark is different from the others,” Beta Erick spoke.

Luna? He already called Rose ‘Luna’? What about the real Luna of the Black Heart Pack? The one they told me was my mom and killed when she saved me from the rogues? Did this happen after she saved me? But what about the scene from earlier where my biological parents died to protect me?

And Silver Shadow Pack? I had never heard of that pack. What happened to the pack? Also, what about were-babies with a birthmark? What was so special about them? I was so confused at this time.

“Let me see,” Andre said and snatched the baby away forcefully from Beta Erick, causing the baby to cry hysterically.

Andre placed the baby on a table and examined her birthmark. I gasped when I saw the birthmark on the baby. The birthmark… It was… It was the same as mine! Suddenly, it dawned on me that the baby was me! And my parents were the Alpha and Luna of the Silver Shadow Pack! But why have I never heard of that pack? And no one seemed to know about it, too!

“Rose, look at her birthmark,” Andre said excitedly.

Rose went to stand beside Andre and examined my birthmark. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Let’s try her first. I think she’s the one. The chosen one will be able to use magic, and her birthmark is unique.”

Hearing her words, I began to feel dreadful. The chosen one… Magic… Those were the words I had heard from Witch Lily and Queen Neia. Could I really be the destined one who will kill Kyson Night? But I don’t want to… I don’t want to kill my mate!

“Quick, do your thing!” Andre was practically jumping in enthusiasm.

Rose quickly placed her hands on baby-me and did her spell. Instead of the usual diminishing light, a burst of blinding light came out of baby-me. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought the baby had exploded. When the bright light disappeared, baby-me didn’t turn black, and she was crying hysterically as if she was in great pain.

“Is she… Did you succeed?” Andre asked with a mix of fear and hesitation.

“Yes,” Rose answered and reached out to grab the table to steady herself as her body swayed as if her energy was drained.

“She is… She’s the one?” Andre asked in disbelief and joy.

Rose nodded in confirmation with her eyes closed and her body trembling.

“She’s the one! She’s the one!” Andre exclaimed and kissed Rose out of his excitement.

I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. No, it can’t be… I can’t be the one to kill Kyson… I can’t… I love him and Night…

Suddenly, I heard a loud bang, and Mom – the Luna of Black Heart Pack, Luna Angie, came into the room.

She gasped as she saw the scene in front of her. “An-Andre… What-What is happening? Are you… You were the one who kidnapped the newborn werewolves?” she stuttered with wide eyes.

“Seize her,” Andre commanded, and Beta Erick and Gamma Brad each took hold of Luna Angie’s hands.

“Andre, why are you doing this? This is wrong!” Luna Angie struggled to get free, but of course, she couldn’t match the power of the two werewolves holding her.

“Silence!” Andre snapped at Luna Angie, yet she kept struggling.

“Andre, you can’t do this! Rose, Erick, and Brad tell him he can’t do this! This is wrong! Stop doing this! They are innocent!” Luna Angie kept yelling at them, but they ignored her.

“Rose, are you alright?” Andre instead asked Rose and took her in his arms.

“I’m alright, Andre. Just my energy was drained,” Rose said.

Luna Angie’s eyes widened even more. “Andre… You… and Rose… How could you do this to me? I’m your mate! I’m your Luna!”

“Sit down first, Rose,” Andre kept ignoring Luna Angie and showed off his affection for Rose.

Even my eyes widened in disbelief at this moment. How could he do that in front of his mate? How could he break her heart with indifference?

“Andre…” By now, Luna Angie wasn’t struggling anymore. I could see the hurt in her eyes – hurt from seeing her destined mate betraying her.

“How long… How long has this been going on?” Luna Angie asked in a soft voice, and tears pooled in her eyes.

Andre pulled a chair and let Rose sit before turning to look at Luna Angie coldly. “I’ve never loved you. Rose is the one I love. I only kept you and didn’t reject you for saving face.”

Both Luna Angie and I gasped at his words. I knew how hurtful Andre’s words must be to Luna Angie. It might as well be a rejection from Andre.

“You… You can’t be serious. Andre, we’ve been together for a long time. You can’t be not in love with me.” Luna Angie wouldn’t want to believe him.

Even I wouldn’t believe him. From what I heard, Andre loved Luna Angie so much.

“As I’ve said, it was only for saving face. I have to look good in front of everyone,” Andre said coldly. His gaze was so cold, void of any love.

“Then reject me. Reject me, Andre. But let the babies go. They are innocent,” Luna Angie said.

Mom… I respected her for still thinking about the babies.

“Do you think I’ll let you go now?” Andre snorted.

“What-What do you mean, Andre?” Luna Angie asked, and I saw fear in her eyes. I was scared for her, too. Andre wouldn’t be so cruel as to…

“You know what Rose and I did to the babies. Do you think I’ll let you go?” Andre snarled.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Andre, we are destined mates. Just reject me and let the babies go. I won’t say any-” Luna Angie tried to bargain with Andre, but he cut her off.

“Kill her,” Andre ordered, and both Luna Angie and I gasped at his words.
