I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

How dare he kiss me to daze me and go away without allowing me to reject his idea again? I can’t believe that Kyson is a cunning man!

Celia laughed, looking at my reaction. “It’s your fault for not being able to withstand his kiss.”

I blushed hearing her words. “He shouldn’t have done that.”

“Don’t worry too much, Aleena. We have to trust him. Colton is strong, and Lucas is strong, too. Their packs aren’t so bad, either. And with our mate by their side, they should be able to win easily,” Celia comforted me.

“I know. I just want to be with him,” I told her.

“Look at you being so in love that you can’t part with him even for a second,” Celia teased me, and I blushed again.

“Well, now we just need to be a good girl and wait for them here,” Celia chirped.

“Are you not worried?” I asked her.

“Not really. He’s an Alpha Lycanthrope. Even Andre is weaker than him if Rose is not by his side,” Celia shrugged.

She made a point. Being a Lycan was already strong; what more, an Alpha of a Lycan? Maybe I did worry too much.

“Kyson Night, be careful,” I mindlinked him. It was the only thing I could do now.

“We will,” he replied, and I smiled in relief.

I walked toward the kitchen to grab something to eat, only to realize it was nearing dinner time, and the Omegas were busy preparing dinner. There was no point in grabbing some snacks to eat, then.

I decided to go back to my room and took a shower before having dinner with the rest of them.

“They shouldn’t come back too late, right?” I asked Celia as I was showering. Should I wait for him to come back and then have dinner together?

“I think you should have dinner first. It takes time to go there and back here, and that hasn’t included the time for him to deal with the enemies at Colton’s pack,” Celia answered my thought.

“You are right,” I couldn’t help but agree with Celia. I would’ve fainted from hunger by the time Kyson came back.

I stepped out of the bathroom and had just worn my clothes when suddenly I felt a sharp, piercing pain on the back of my thigh. What…

Before I could react, I felt the same pain in my other thigh, and my legs weakened under me, causing me to fall. My energy seemed to be drained… Wolfsbane?

I turned around and saw the most despicable person I had ever known – Andre.

“What… What are you doing here?” Why didn’t my protective spell help?

“Hector, Andre is in my room,” I mindlinked the Gamma quickly, but there was no response. I mindlinked Beta Christine, Gamma Lisa, and the guards, even the Omegas, but no one responded. This was just like the last time. Did they really use some kind of mindlink blocker?

“It’s no use to mindlink anyone, Aleena. It won’t work. As to why I’m here… Of course, I’m here to take you back,” he said in a relaxed manner, as if taking me back was something normal.

I tried to stand up but saw two more werewolves stepping fast into my room and throwing a net at me. The moment it touched me, my whole body became limp. My eyes became heavy, and I fought hard to stay awake, but the net was heavily laced with wolfsbane – it sucked out all my energy.

“Take her away,” I heard Andre say, and I saw one of the werewolves with him – Greg.

“Greg… Don’t… do… this… to… me…” I managed to say before I lost consciousness.

I felt weak… My knees hurt… My wrists hurt…

Opening my eyes, I saw my eyes; I realized that my surroundings looked familiar – it was one of the dungeons in Black Heart Pack. My hands were chained, and I was on my knees. This reminded me of the time during my judgment, and I couldn’t help but shudder.

I tried to free myself from the restraints, but my arms were weak. They had laced the chain with wolfsbane. The clanging sound of the chains as I tried to free myself caught the attention of the two guards outside.

“Why are you doing this to me? Let me go! Or Kyson will kill all of you when he comes to rescue me!” I tried to threaten them, but my voice sounded hoarse and weak.

The guards laughed as if I was making a joke. “Go on, then. Call him. It’ll be good if he comes here to rescue you.”

What does he mean by that? A thought suddenly flashed across my mind. They purposely took me to lure Kyson! “Kyson, don’t come here! It’s a trap!” I tried hard to mindlink my mate, but there was still no response, and my heart sank. Why couldn’t I mindlink him? Arghhh… This got me frustrated!

I saw two figures approaching me, the two people I hated most in this whole wide world – Andre and Rose.

“What do you want for me?” I yelled at them, not caring that once I treated one of them as a father.

“Aleena, is that how you greeted your father?” Andre asked with the gentle tone and smile he usually spoke to me with when he was still doting on me as his daughter.

Maybe before everything that had happened, I would’ve thought he was sincere, but now…

“Which father would banish his own daughter and leave her to be raped and killed?” I sneered.

“Aleena, we did it for your own good. It was so that you could fulfill your destiny.” He looked sad and wronged, as if I had accused him of doing something terrible.

“My destiny is to be Kyson’s mate. You must be deluding yourself if you think otherwise. You must want me back because you knew I had changed and become stronger, right? You want me to help you during the war? Dream on! I am the Lycan’s Luna. I won’t betray my mate!” I sneered.

Both Andre and Rose looked at me as if I was a crazy person sprouting nonsense before they let out boisterous laughter.

“Oh, child. You are so naive. You are indeed stronger than we imagined. But everything that happened to you was within our plan,” Rose laughed evilly, shattering the image of a beautiful witch.

“Within your plan? To get me raped and killed?” I sneered.

“No, no, no.” Andre shook his head and continued, “To make Kyson save you.”

“Yeah, right. Like you’d know he’d save me,” I snorted. Did they take me as a fool?

“Of course, he’d save you. Didn’t we say that it’s your destiny? To meet Kyson, unleashing your true power, and the end of the day…” he purposely passed his words.

“What? Kill you?” I sneered.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He chuckled lightly, but I could see the malicious glint in his eyes. “Not to kill us. We set and planned everything up for you to kill Kyson Night, as per your destiny.”

At this moment, I felt like I was struck by thunder. My destiny… My destiny is to kill Kyson?!

“You lied!” I roared. I can’t kill Kyson, no matter how many times they said it or if it were within their plan, I would never kill my mate!

“Don’t you ever wonder why your true power was suppressed? You were weak, wolfless; even your body didn’t change when you were here. But after you met him, everything changed. It was our plan to let you and Kyson believe that you are destined mates!” Rose looked gleefully evil when she said those words.

“No, no, no.” I kept shaking my head, not wanting to believe them. It was impossible! “You can’t make anyone feel the mate bond! I feel the mate bond with Kyson! You are lying!” I kept trying to find a reason to rebuke him and make myself feel sane.

“Can’t we?” Rose chuckled easily.

“You can’t! Only the Moon Goddess can!” I replied stubbornly.

“Oh, child. I’m the strongest Witch around. I can do anything that no one can’t, including black magic.” Rose shook her head and looked at me as if she was disappointed that I didn’t want to believe them.

“Have you ever felt the need to kill Kyson?” Andre asked with an evil smirk.

His question nearly stopped my heart. I… I had, hadn’t I? Twice! Whenever I fought him, I felt like I wanted to kill him.

“That’s because of bloodlust!” I still stubbornly refused to believe them.

“Bloodlust? Bloodlust occurs every time you meet strong enemies. Have you ever felt bloodlust other than when facing Kyson?” Andre chuckled again.

Have I? The answer made me feel scared. I had never felt it with anyone else, not even when I was fighting Colton, who was strong. Were my doubts about my bloodlust actually valid?

“You know the answer in your heart, don’t you? No matter what, your destiny is to kill Kyson,” Rose smiled smugly as she saw me looking scared and unable to retort.

“Why don’t we show her the truth?” Andre asked Rose.

The truth? The truth that Kyson had never divulged in detail.

“It must be the werewolves’ fault, right? The werewolves were at fault during the Great War between werewolves and Lycanthropes!” That much I knew. I had deduced it from the words Kyson and the others had told me.

“So you knew. Then let me show you everything, from the beginning till the end, and you’ll see your destiny with your own eyes,” Rose said, delighted to show me those truths.

Before I could retort back, Rose chanted a spell, and I was surrounded by a blinding yellow light that caused me to close my eyes.
