Chapter 66 – Isn’t It Ironic?
••• Aleena’s POV •••
“Goddess, to be able to feel their emotions is quite distracting,” Celia said.
I laughed. “I know, right?” Right now, we could feel annoyance combined with happiness and teasing. It was like Kyson and Night were teasing each other, and it didn’t help us to focus.
“Night…” Celia purred.
“Oh, stop it, Celia. Don’t give in to temptation when we are in the middle of a war,” I laughed at her.
“It’s their fault,” she placed the blame on them.
“Focus!” I told her, and then I felt giddiness again from Kyson and Night’s bantering that I was sure of.
“We can feel your emotions now, you know,” I told our mates and laughed again. They are so cute when fighting and teasing among themselves. “Behave now, and let’s kill them.” If they kept arguing, there would be no end to this war.
This was our chance to turn the situation around. Andre and Rose still looked dumbfounded at us and couldn’t do anything. Who could blame them? I was suddenly revived and turned into a Lycanthrope. If I were them, I would be stunned, too.
“Handsome Kyson, I have a surprise for you,” I mindlinked our mates.
“A surprise?” he asked with interest.
Remembering how his protective balls are red in color, I had in mind that his protective spell is different from the others. I channeled the energy from my moon-like object to him and glanced back to see him covered in flames, just like the fire elemental being.
“Damn, Aleena Luv. This is so cool,” they said. “And you don’t even need those small balls to activate it.”
I laughed, hearing his words. It must be Night who said those words.
“Kill Andre first while I toy with Rose, handsome Kyson. I’ll take care of Rose. I want her to experience the feeling of losing her mate before I kill her,” I told him. Andre had felt it when he killed the Luna of the Black Heart Pack before, and now it’s Rose’s turn to feel it.
“As you wish, Aleena Luv,” came our mates’ reply through the mindlink.
Attack! I commanded the rocks and tornadoes to attack the enemies.
I focused my attention on Rose now that Kyson and Night would take care of Andre. Kyson had charged toward Andre, and I knew he wouldn’t last long facing a Lycanthrope, no matter how strong he was.
Seeing Kyson charging toward him, Andre seemed to snap out of his trance and shifted to his wolf form. I stood by and shook my head, watching my mate toy with Andre. Maybe killing him mercilessly was too good for them.
Rose looked panicked as she tried to cast protective spells on Andre. I laughed mockingly, looking at her futile attempts.
Rose seemed to notice our killing intent as she abandoned her attempts at protecting Andre and looked at us instead. The more panicked she looked, the more pleasure it brought us.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She didn’t have a chance to attack us with so many stones and tornadoes approaching her. She could only try to defend herself now, and my smile grew wider.
“She’s not as strong as I thought she was,” Celia murmured.
“That’s because we have advantages,” I told her calmly. She was shocked seeing my Lycan’s form, and also, everything didn’t go according to her plans. I was still alive and didn’t kill Kyson. She must be confused. This, in turn, made her unable to be calm.
“This is not fun,” Celia whined.
I laughed at her as we kept approaching the scared witch. “Seeing her scared and desperate like this is fun.”
Celia harrumphed in response. “Don’t worry, we’ll kill her with our bare hands,” I told her, and she became excited once more.
Stop! I commanded the stones and tornadoes that were attacking Rose. The rocks dropped, and the tornadoes changed course to help our allies.
I saw Rose’s panicked look change into one of smugness. Does she think she can win if I don’t use any spells?
Rose began chanting spells, and I saw vines coming from the ground. That spell was the one she used to kill Kyson. She’s stupid if she thinks she could kill me with the same spell.
The vines began attacking me, and Celia and I managed to evade all of them easily. “Is that all you got? Come on, give me all you’ve got,” I taunted her.
Her expression changed, and I saw more and more vines popping from the ground and also lightning bolts coming from her staff.
With our Lycan’s speed, it was as easy as one two three to dodge them. She became more desperate, and I saw her fear flashing through her eyes again.
“Our turn, Celia,” I told Celia.
“Here we go,” Celia grinned evilly as we kept strolling step-by-step toward Rose.
Without any warning, we used our full speed and rushed toward her, curling our hand around her neck.
Her eyes widened for a moment, but she then smiled smugly. I felt a swish of air from behind me, and I smirked, knowing what she wanted to do.
I stayed still while I waited and feigned ignorance for the vines to jab my back. Her eyes turned triumphant as she thought I would lose soon.
Just before the vines reached me, I jumped sideways with my hand still around her neck, and those stupid vines stabbed her instead.
Hah! I didn’t realize she was this stupid to actually fall for a simple trick.
“Aww… You actually fell for it? Didn’t you see me die because of the same trick before?” I mocked her.
Her eyes turned wider; I thought they were going to pop out of their sockets.
“Rose, isn’t it ironic? You did everything you could to ensure that I became a killing machine to kill the last Lycanthrope in existence, but in the end, I became a killing machine to kill you,” I smirked.
I saw her hands and lips move to cast another spell, but I was tired of playing games with her anymore. I snapped her neck with my Lycan’s strength, and as expected, she became lifeless instantly.
I heard Andre roar in pain the next second. I turned my head to look at him and saw him in his human form. The pain must have forced him to shift back.
“That was too easy,” I heard Celia whining again.
“Let’s tear her limbs apart,” I suggested.
“Let me do it,” Celia said, and I unmerged from her. Celia was different from her usual self. I felt her evil intent as she grabbed both of Rose’s arms and tore them from Rose’s body. Next, she did the same to Rose’s legs and didn’t even spare Rose’s head. It was pretty gruesome.
“Happy?” I asked her.
“Not quite, but better than nothing,” she shrugged.
“You are evil,” I teased her.
“She deserves it,” she replied with a smug smile.
I turned my attention back to Kyson but saw him still strangling Andre, so I looked around instead.

••• Kyson’s POV •••
“Kill Andre first while I toy with Rose, handsome Kyson. I’ll take care of Rose. I want her to experience the feeling of losing her mate before I kill her,” I heard our mate’s voice.
“As you wish, Aleena Luv,” we replied through the mindlink.
I saw the floating rocks and tornadoes begin to move toward the enemies, and I charged toward the still-dumbfounded Andre.
Andre gained his mind back and shifted to his wolf form. I saw Rose trying to cast spells out of the corners of my eyes, but I ignored it, knowing our mates would deal with her.
I kept taunting Andre with my movements, deliberately making him think that he would be able to hurt me. Even though he was strong, he was still not a match for a Lycanthrope.
“He’s weak,” Night whined.
“I’ll let you play with him,” I told him and unmerged from him.
Night’s way of toying with an enemy was different than mine. While I made them believe that they would be able to hurt me, Night way was to slash or bite them, jump back, and then attack them again when they thought they could get away. He was instilling fear in the enemy.
Suddenly, Andre roared in pain, and I saw our mates’ hand curled around Rose’s neck. Rose’s neck was twisted at a strange angle. Aleena had killed her.
I moved my attention back to Andre and saw him in his human form with a hand over his chest.
“Let’s finish him, Night,” I said and merged back with him.
I dashed forward and did the same thing as our mate – curling our hand around Andre’s neck. He tried to pry away our fingers, but he was too weak from losing his mate.
“Didn’t think your plan would backfire, did you?” I smirked at him.
“Let’s claw out his heart,” Night said, and we buried our hand in his chest in one swift move.
Andre’s eyes widened, and he coughed out blood. We squeezed his heart and were about to pull back our hand when that motherfucker suddenly smiled.
“Do you think I’m the only one behind this whole thing?” he asked with a taunting, bloody smile.
I felt my heart grow cold. “What do you mean? Who else is behind this?” I growled.
He coughed again and whizzed out, “Someone powerful… Someone you can’t afford to kill…”
“Tell me!” I growled threateningly.
He spoke two words before the life in his eyes dimmed out.
“Fuck!” both Night and I cursed.
I pulled back my hand that was still gripping his heart and squashed it. Next, I tore off all his limbs from his body with so much force to release my anger.
“Do you think he told us the truth?” Night asked.
“I don’t know. But it should. He wouldn’t be saying nonsense on his last dying breath,” I growled out.
“If it’s true…” Night didn’t finish his sentence.
“I know. Let’s finish up here first, then tell the rest,” I told him before turning away to join Aleena.
