I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Kyson’s POV •••

I waited for the pain of being slashed or bitten by our mates, but it never came. Instead, I heard a shout from them through our mindlink, “Kyson! Noooo!”

My eyes flew open, yet I didn’t see Aleena. The next second, I heard a whimper coming from behind me, and I whirled around, only to see her drop to the ground and shift back to her human form. I gasped as I saw five gaping holes in different parts of her body.

Never had I felt such bone-deep terror in my life. How… Why… I dropped to my knees and reached out my hands to touch her, but I was afraid it’d make the wounds worse. I could only call their names softly, “Aleena… Celia…” My body was trembling, looking at her with that many wounds; even my voice was shaking, too.

“Kyson… Night… I’m sorry…” she said in a soft and broken voice and coughed out blood the next second.

“Aleena… Celia… Don’t… Don’t say anything… I’ll get Witch Lily to heal you,” I told her. Why… Why are her wounds not healing? I felt my eyesight become blurry. I had never cried in my whole twenty years of life, not even when I saw the memory of my parents getting murdered, but at this moment, looking at my mate dying, tears started streaming down my cheeks.

Her hand reached out to caress my cheek. “Handsome Kyson… We…” my mates said, but her hand dropped, and her eyes closed, and the continuation of their sentence could only be heard through the mindlink, “Love you too.”

And suddenly… SNAP! I felt our mate bond being broken. “ALEENAAAA!” I roared, and Night howled. It was painful… So painful… It was as if someone clawed out my heart and squeezed it, yet at the same time, letting me live, allowing me to feel the pain. It was too unbearable. It was better if someone tore my limbs away and killed me immediately. This was agonizing… Too agonizing.

I gathered our dead mate in my hands and hugged her tight. No… No… No… She can’t be dead. I was supposed to be the one who died. She was supposed to be my damnation. I was ready to die in her place. Why, why, why?! Why did she have to be the one who died?! WHY?!

“Aleena… Aleena… Aleena…” I kept mumbling as I hugged her and rocked our bodies gently. “You can’t die… Wake up, Aleena… You can’t die and leave me alone… I love you… I love you, Aleena… I love you… I can’t live without you. Please, Aleena…”

I kept holding her tight, not caring about the rest of the world, not caring about the war going on around us, or even caring if I looked crazy. I only hoped and wished she was still alive now. Or that I died with her. I felt Night’s willingness to live slipped away from him. He was feeling the same way as I did – as if half of our souls had died.

Died… Dying… Would it really be alright to die with Aleena? No! She wouldn’t want that! She would want us to kill Andre and Rose! At this thought, my fighting spirit was reignited.

“Night, we have to kill Andre and Rose. We have to seek revenge… Both for us… And hers,” I told Night firmly.

“Kyson…” Night’s voice was too soft. Too broken.

“Night, we have to snap out of this. Aleena and Celia wouldn’t want us to wallow in our grief!” I told him again, trying to light up his fighting spirit.

He was silent momentarily before replying, “You are right, Kyson. We must kill that son of a bitch, Andre, and his fucking mate!”

I looked at our lifeless mate in my arms. “Aleena… Celia… We are going to kill them for you… Wait for us here, alright?” I proceeded to place her body on the ground gently when suddenly, a bright light appeared from her body. I put an arm over my eyes to stop the light from blinding me.

“What’s happening? What’s happening? Kyson, what’s happening to our mate?!” Night’s panicked voice sounded in my mind.

The light disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, and I felt something I thought was impossible to feel – I felt the mate bond being snapped back again!

“Kyson, is she…” Night’s excitement blended with the excitement bubbling in my heart as I placed my arm down.

“Kyson…” I heard Aleena’s soft, melodious voice.

I looked at her and couldn’t help but pull her into my embrace. “Aleena. Aleena… You are alive. You are alive!” I buried my face in the crook of her neck, taking in her soothing scent, the scent of my mate…

“Are you really alive?” I mumbled.

“I am,” she laughed softly.

“How… How…” How is she alive?!

“The Moon Goddess revived me. She pitied you for agonizing over my death,” she replied to the question I asked in my mind. “Are you happy?” she teased.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Happy? HAPPY?! I nearly jumped in my spot due to my joy, yet I was in disbelief at the same time! Before I could comprehend what was happening, I felt a surge of emotions coming in full force in my heart, entangling with my own confusion and disbelief, making the mate bond feel different yet more fulfilling. It was hers… They were her emotions!

“She’s alive! She’s alive!” Night howled with excitement

“Let me up,” she said as she laughed, looking at my dumbfounded expression.

I quickly stood up and pulled her up along with me, not taking my eyes off her for even a second.

“We still have a war to finish, you know,” she teased me again. “Don’t you want to kill Andre?”

Andre… Andre! At the mention of killing that motherfucker, hatefulness surged through every pore of my body. I looked straight at that fucking monster who dared to use my mate as an experiment just to kill me.

I smiled smugly and mockingly, looking at his and his mate’s expressions. Never imagined that she would be revived by the Moon Goddess herself, huh?!

Now that my mind was back, I saw that the war was still going strong. Ace was being himself, helping to kill more werewolves than the others. Ah well, I’ll just let him be even though our aim wasn’t to kill them. Ace was Ace. No one could control his bloodlust once it was out. Serves them right!

“Witch Lily has been protecting us,” I heard Aleena murmur.

I looked around us and realized that we were in a protective bubble. No wonder no one came to kill us when I was mopping over Aleena’s death. I glanced at Witch Lily, and our gaze collided. I smiled with gratitude at her, and she gave me a gentle smile in return.

“Ready to kill Andre, Kyson?” Aleena asked.

“More than ready,” I grinned at her and shifted back to my Lycan’s form.

“Aleena, shift!” I ordered her. It annoyed me to see her still in her human form. She was naked for everyone to see, for Goddess’ sake!

She laughed softly. “You are still so possessive, Kyson. But wait, okay? I have something to do first.”

Before I could say anything back, she stepped out of the protective bubble and raised her arms. A burst of light shone from her palms, and I felt so many members trying to mind linked me.

I opened the mindlinks, and everyone’s voices came to my mind. They all said the same thing – the enemies’ protective spells had been broken!

And then other things began happening. The earth started to rumble, stones of different sizes floated, and tornadoes formed around us.

“Damn, she’s strong. She’s so hot!” Night howled and panted with his tongue lolling out of his mouth.

“Handsome Kyson, you are turning me on,” I heard our mate’s seductive voice through the mindlink before I saw her looking back and fixing her gaze on the bottom half of my body.

I looked down and realized I was hard! “Calm your hormones, Night!” I scolded him. This was neither the time nor the place to have a hard-on!

“She’s hot! She’s hot!” Night panted lewdly.

“Can’t you be less of a pervert?” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Look at her! Look at her!” suddenly, Night shouted.

I fixed my gaze on our mate and saw her shift. My jaw dropped as I saw her final form. Instead of shifting into a wolf form, which stood on four legs, she was standing on two feet. She is a… Lycanthrope?

“Oh my Goddess,” Night squealed like a teenage girl. “Kyson, she’s a Lycan! She’s a Lycan!” Night howled and panted again.

“Try to keep your testosterone in check, handsome Kyson. We’ll take care of it later on after we win the war,” she winked at us.

“Kyson, I want to fuck her! I want to fuck her!” Night continued to pant lewdly.

“Stop it, Night! Do you want her to battle alone, or do you want to help her?” I snapped out of my reverie and lashed out at Night.

My words seemed to be effective as I felt Night begin to calm down.

“Now I need to think of something to make my dick limp,” I grumbled at Night.

“We can dick-slap them,” Night said.

“You want others to touch our dick? You are so disgusting. I wonder what I did wrong in my past life to deserve a perverted wolf like you,” I snorted.

“I recall someone wanting to have me as their wolf again if we were reborn,” he replied happily.

“Fuck you, Night!” I growled. I must have been out of my mind to say those words to him.

“We can feel your emotions now, you know,” our mates suddenly said and laughed. “Behave now, and let’s kill them.”

“Hear that, Night? Behave!” I told him.

I felt him rolling his eyes. “Alright. Let’s go kill them!”

Now that the tide had turned, it was not the time for us to think of anything else; it was time for us to attack!
