I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

The room shook, and I prayed hard for it not to collapse, or we would all be buried alive.

Thankfully, my prayer was answered, and the room stilled after long moments of shaking.

The dust began settling, and once it settled, there was no more Uncle Cain. There was only Zalarus, the Demon King, in front of us. Zalarus had long black hair, eyes as black as the night with no white part, chiseled facial features, and tattoos all over his bare upper body. He actually looked mesmerizing, if not for the vicious aura surrounding him.

“How weak and stupid. Pathetic,” he muttered to himself, and we all knew whom he was referring to.

He swept his gaze across all of us and grinned evilly. Even his gaze caused me to be rooted in fear.

“I have to thank your brother for reviving and giving me his body,” he told Dad lazily as if blowing Uncle Cain’s body up was nothing.

“You won’t get away with this, Zalarus. We will seal you once more and keep you here forever,” Dad said with a sharp tone.

I was too nervous and scared for everyone’s safety to think about why Dad could also talk in his wolf form.

“Well, I’d like to see you try. Bring it on then,” Zalarus replied and grinned again as if he was enjoying this. It was apparent he was confident of his strength. Even I became scared of not being able to seal him perfectly.

Dad charged toward Zalarus heads-on, baring his canines and stretching out his claws, only to be blocked easily by Zalarus.

“Weak,” Zalarus sneered as he pushed Dad away.

Ace and Lucas quickly lunged toward Zalarus simultaneously, attacking him from both sides, but just like Dad, their attacks were blocked easily, and Zalarus even managed to injure both of them.

As Zalarus was busy attacking Ace and Lucas, Night moved with his Lycan speed and slashed him right on his chest.

Yes! I cheered for my mate in my mind.

Zalarus looked stunned for a split second before throwing Lucas and Ace aside and jumping back away from Night.

“Not bad,” Zalarus grinned evilly, and I saw his wounds closing up.

He could heal himself?! Now, what should we do? I became more anxious and scared for everyone.

“Aleena, calm down and help them,” I heard a soft feminine voice in my head.

“Mom?” I looked at Mom, who was chanting a spell.

Yes, this is not the time to be scared or nervous. I have to be brave to help everyone!

“Mom, how are we supposed to seal him?” I asked through our mindlink.

“We need to back him into his coffin and seal him inside,” Mom’s urgent voice sounded.

“We can do that?” I asked. I thought we needed him to be sealed inside a body? But the thought of Uncle Cain’s body swelling up and blown away gave me chills. It seemed no one would be able to contain him. Then Mom’s suggestion would be the best!

“Yes. Let’s help them,” Mom said, and I saw rocks of different sizes flying toward Zalarus.

Dad, Night, Ace, Lucas, and Gamma Grey worked well together, attacking Zalarus from all sides, yet their efforts seemed futile. Only Night was able to injure him, but each time he was injured, the wounds closed up just like before. It was frustrating!

“Night, Mom said to back him into his coffin! Once he’s inside, close the lid, and I’ll seal him off!” I mindlinked my mate.

“Gotcha, Luv,” Night replied.

“Celia, we have to help them,” I told Celia.

“Okay,” she replied, and I shifted. If Night and Kyson are able to hurt Zalarus, shouldn’t I be able to hurt him too?

I charged toward Zalarus, and my attack caught everyone by surprise, especially Zalarus. I had managed to hurt him in the same place Night had wounded him. This caused him to stagger back a few steps.

Will his wounds heal this time? Not much to my surprise, they did. Then there was nothing we could do except to back him into his coffin, just as Mom had said.

We all worked together, with Mom aiding us using her magical ability from a distance. Before long, Zalarus got overwhelmed. After all, he didn’t have anyone helping him while there were so many of us attacking him.

We strategically attacked and pushed him toward his coffin without him realizing it. The moment we got him near his casket, Night slashed him on his chest, leaving deep gashes, and Dad and Gamma Grey flanked him and pushed him back into the coffin. Colton and Lucas had shifted back into their human forms and quickly closed the lid.

My hands and lips moved as I chanted the sealing spell the Moon Goddess had imprinted on my mind, and the symbols on my mind started glowing on Zalarus’s coffin.

Everyone waited with bated breath as I was sealing Zalarus, and before long, I finished chanting the spell, and suddenly the room fell into an eerie silence.

I didn’t even dare to breathe as I looked at Zalarus’ tomb. Did I seal him successfully?

We all waited, and after long moments passed with no signs of the coffin moving, we breathed our relief.

But our relief was short-lived as we saw the coffin explode, and the Demon King appeared as if nothing had happened to him.

“Tsk,” he clicked his tongue. “One of you could actually use the sealing spell. But unfortunately, it won’t be of use anymore.” His evil grin emerged again, and it was even more malicious than before.

Before anyone could make a move, Zalarus suddenly appeared in front of me, and his hand grabbed my neck, strangling me.

“It’s you, right? You are the biggest threat here,” he snarled.

I reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist while my other hand chopped down on his arm, causing his arm to break.

He groaned and jumped back. “Not bad at all,” his sinister smile grew even wider. I had a feeling he was going to toy with me if given a chance, and my body shuddered as I coughed out and breathed in a lung full of air.

That scene happened only in a few seconds. Everyone realized what had happened after Zalarus jumped back.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Aleena!” They all rushed toward me.

“I’m fine,” I assured them. Zalarus’ strength was so great that if I hadn’t managed to react quickly, my neck would have been snapped away by now.

“Look at you guys being so worried about your precious princess,” Zalarus mocked us.

I looked at him and realized that his broken arm had healed. Goddess, what should we do now?! We couldn’t kill him, nor could we seal him.

“Aleena, stand back. We’ll keep him away from you. We’ll find a chance to flee this place, and maybe you can seal the whole place with him inside,” Kyson said, mindlinking me.

“Okay,” I nodded before mindlinking Mom and telling her about Kyson’s plan.

“That might be the best we could do,” Mom replied.

My sense of hopelessness vanished after hearing Kyson’s plan. At least now, there was a chance for us to seal him. We would face the consequences when the time came, whether the plan would work or not.

“Giving up already?” Zalarus taunted us.

Dad, Gamma Grey, and Night rushed toward Zalarus again. Colton and Lucas shifted back into their wolf forms and joined the fight.

This time, the fight was even more intense. Everyone’s speed and strength seemed to double, with Night still in the lead. There was only one goal in everyone’s mind right now – to hurt Zalarus as severely as we could to at least keep him from being able to move so we’d have a chance to flee.

Mom had even shifted into her Lycan form and began chanting spells. Her spells became more powerful after she shifted. I was in awe, looking at Mom. She could do many spells at once. She could attack Zalarus at the same time she protected Dad, Kyson, Colton, Lucas, and Gamma Grey.

I couldn’t possibly stand still with everyone doing their best, could I? I quickly gathered my energy into my moon-like object and started attacking Zalarus with the rest. I unleashed all the elemental magic I knew, and the room shook vigorously.

I wasn’t scared of the room collapsing anymore. If it happened, then Mom and I would use protective spells, and maybe we could bury Zalarus under the ruin and seal him off.

All sorts of stones and rocks began floating and flying toward Zalarus. I used the tornadoes to block Zalarus from moving, and the water whips to injure him.

A long time had passed since we arrived and began fighting. The room started to be a shamble. Even the floors, ceilings, and walls had cracked due to our fights.

Every time any of us showed signs of fatigue, Mom would chant a healing spell on us. Her magic might not work in healing the wounds inflicted by Zalarus, but it replenished our energy.

Zalarus became more erratic as he felt himself at the end of the short stick, and he lunged toward Mom when there was an opening for him to do so.

“Mom!” I jumped in front of her and blocked Zalarus’ attack with my arm. The wounds I received from him nearly tore my arm in two.

“It’s you again,” he snarled.

Night acted fast and flung Zalarus away from Mom and me before he could make any other move to hurt us further. At that time, Zalarus was hurled against the wall, and a flaming torch fell and hit him on his arm. He hissed from the pain, and my eyes widened as I saw what was happening.

The burn on his skin didn’t heal. Does it mean fire is his weakness? To think of it, none of the other elemental magic could hurt him. I mean, they hurt him, but the wounds would always be healed. But this time…

“Aleena Luv, activate my protective spell!” Suddenly, I heard Kyson’s and Night’s voices through our mindlink.
