Chapter 86 – Alpha Queen Aleena
••• Kyson’s POV •••
“She’s angry because you asked her not to hold back,” Night laughed.
“And yet she couldn’t help but still use 75% of her strength on Gamma Grey,” I chuckled.
Aleena came to us and fussed over Gamma Grey’s injuries. Once Gamma Grey assured her he was fine, he diverted the attention to Colton.
It was time for Aleena’s and Colton’s fight. The crowd was buzzing with excitement. They thought this was a fight between siblings for the title of Alpha King or Queen.
Colton dragged Aleena toward the center of the training ground, where they would begin fighting.
“Sister, use your elemental magic on me,” Colton said.
Aleena raised an eyebrow at him and asked arrogantly, “Are you sure you want to fight me while I use my elemental magic?”
“Why? Can’t do it? Are you only able to use it during the war, and now it’s gone?” he taunted her.
I saw Aleena roll her eyes at Colton and smile sweetly at him, “As you wish, Brother.”
I smirked. For once, Colton was smart. He purposely asked Aleena to showcase her magical ability, so everyone knew of her true power.
Not long after Aleena said it, the earth shook; many rocks were floating, tornadoes were forming, and she even let out her water whips.
As expected, I heard the murmuring of the crowd. They were already in awe when Aleena won easily against the warrior and Gamma Grey, and what’s more, now when they saw Aleena had magical abilities.
“Scared, Brother?” Aleena grinned at Colton.
“This is more like it. It’ll be my honor to defeat you when you are using all your strength,” Colton grinned, and I knew he was enjoying this.
“Then let’s begin, Brother.” Just as Aleena said those words, I saw the rocks move and attack Colton.
Colton was able to block them, yet the rough surfaces of the rocks still managed to graze him and leave him with small gashes.
Then came the water whips, which were more troublesome. At the same time, Aleena also used the tornadoes. When Colton was about to dodge the water whips, the tornadoes would block his way.
I smirked again. Aleena had gotten better control and understanding of her elemental magic.
I was enjoying looking at Aleena just standing there doing nothing as the tornadoes, water whips, and rocks attacked Colton when suddenly all her attacks ceased. The tornadoes and water whips disappeared, and the stones fell to the ground.
“Why did you stop?” Colton complained.
“I think it’s better if I fight you using my own hands,” she shrugged as if using her elemental magic to attack Colton was boring.
“Are you sure you can take me heads-on, Sister?” Colton grinned.
Aleena raised her eyebrow and said, “You will be the one having difficulties facing me head-on, Brother.”
Damn. Her confidence and arrogance made her even hotter.
Colton laughed and said, “As long as you use your maximum speed and strength. I don’t want to face you with less, like when you faced your last two opponents.”
Colton had gotten smarter, and I smirked. He was letting everyone know how Aleena didn’t use 100% other abilities.
When the crowd heard Colton’s words, they began murmuring again.
“She didn’t use her maximum speed and strength before?”
“And she could defeat Drax and Gamma Grey easily.”
“She’s strong!”
“This will be an interesting match to watch.”
“Colton is stronger than Drax and Gamma Grey.”
“Could she face Colton’s bloodlust?”
And many more comments.
I couldn’t help but smirk again. They didn’t know the brother and sister were similar. They both would turn into bloodlust mode when facing strong opponents and toyed with their prey.
But I agreed with them. This would be interesting to watch.
“Ready, Sister?” Colton asked with a grin.
“Bring it on, Brother,” Aleena grinned back.
In a split second, they both made their first move – delivering a punch straight to the other’s face.
“Did you see that?”
“They were so fast!”
“I couldn’t see their movements, especially Aleena!”
The crowd’s disbelief voices rose.
With both Aleena’s and Colton’s speeds, ordinary werewolves might not be able to keep up. If Aleena and Colton didn’t stop their punches inches away from each other’s faces and stood still in their stance, people wouldn’t be able to see what was happening.
“Not bad, Sister,” Colton said with a grin as he retracted his hand.
“You are not bad yourself, Brother,” Aleena said with a smile as she, too, retracted her hand.
“They are enjoying the fight!” someone in the crowd said, and this caused another discussion among the crowd.
Oblivious to the crowd’s chatter, Aleena and Colton began fighting again. Their movements were fast, even faster than before, but Colton was still slower, being a werewolf, while Aleena was a Lycanthrope.
Five minutes passed, and they were still fighting intensely. Neither dodged the other’s attacks. They blocked and attacked. This was really a head-on fight.
Colton began showing his bloodlust as the minute came near minute ten when they would stop their human-form fight and shift into their wolf form.
“Kyson, did you notice Aleena’s movement become slower?” Night asked.
“Yeah,” I replied. I noticed it at the last minute. Colton was able to inflict injuries on Aleena.
Is her stamina not good? Is she feeling tired already? But she still looks calm.
“Stop!” Suddenly, Alpha Zane ordered, and we all knew the ten minutes was up.
Colton was grinning evilly as his bloodlust took over. Without waiting for Alpha Zane to order them to shift, he had shifted into Ace.
Aleena looked at her brother calmly and began shifting, too.
The crowd gasped as they saw her final shifting form.
“She’s a Lycanthrope!” the crowd shouted.
“A lavender Lycanthrope?”
“I had never seen one!”
“She’s so special!”
I ignore their voices. This was not the first time I saw or heard people shocked by Aleena’s Lycan’s form. Instead, I focused on my mate, trying to see if her injuries were affecting her speed and strength. But no matter how I scrutinized her, it didn’t seem likely. So, what’s with the decrease in her speed and power?
It didn’t take long for Ace to begin his attack. He lunged toward Celia and slashed her upper arm. Even though Celia’s movements were slow, shouldn’t she be able to dodge or even block it? She was still as fast as Ace. This puzzled me.
What game are you playing, Aleena and Celia?
Ace was now in full bloodlust mode. He had an evil smirk on his face and was toying with Celia. Every time he attacked and injured Celia, he would jump back as though giving Celia a chance to counterattack, and it seemed like Celia was falling into his trap.
Before long, Celia showed signs of fatigue. Her movements became even slower, her attacks were not as powerful, and she was panting.
“Kyson, what’s happening? Why is she so easy to be defeated? Why is she allowing Ace to injure her?” Night’s anxious voice sounded in my mind.
Night’s words caught my interest. Allowing Ace to injure her… A thought snapped in my mind, and I couldn’t help but smirk.
“Kyson, should we stop the fight? Ace is getting more and more dangerous. He might kill her in his bloodlust mode,” Night said anxiously again.
What Night said was true. During bloodlust, Ace saw his prey as his enemy, regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
It might have made me nervous if I didn’t know what Aleena was doing.
“Night, did you not realize Aleena’s style of fighting Ace right now?” I asked him calmly.
“What do you mean? She’s definitely on the short stick now,” Night was still anxious, and I could even feel him fidgeting.
“She allows Ace to injure her,” I pointed out using his own words.
“Yes. Why…” Night suddenly stopped his sentence as though he had a light-bulb moment.
“She’s like you!” Night said in disbelief while I kept quiet.
“She’s toying with Ace in the same way you are toying with your enemy!” This time, he sounded excited.
I laughed as Night recognized my way of toying with my enemies – letting them think they would win before counter-attacking when the enemies became too full of themselves, thinking that he would win.
Ace jumped toward Celia, and Celia fell on her back with Ace pinning her down.
Ace jumped back with a malicious grin, and Celia seemed to have difficulty standing up.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Oh no, Colton is going to kill her.”
“Why aren’t Alpha Zane or anyone else stopping the fight?”
The crowd became anxious, looking at Ace, consumed by his bloodlust. He was going to deliver his last move, presumably biting Celia’s neck and taking a chunk of her meat.
“She’s gonna retaliate,” I smirked and told Night.
As Celia was still struggling to get up, Ace struck again. He jumped toward Celia just like before, but instead of looking helpless and weak, Aleena’s aura changed.
She squatted down and raised one arm. Ace couldn’t dodge Celia’s claws as he was in mid-air. Celia finished him off with the same move I used against Ace the last time he and Aleena sparred – she buried her claws in Ace’s chest and dragged her hand forward, causing Ace to have huge gashes along his chest down to his abdomen.
Ace fell down and whimpered before shifting back to his human form.
Celia stood up and dusted herself. Gone was the fatigue and helplessness on her face. She looked down at Colton with calmness.
I saw her shift back, and I ran toward her while ripping my shirt. I quickly wrapped her with it, not letting anyone see her naked body.
“Sister, how could you toy with me like that?” Colton whined while still lying down. That one strike from Aleena was enough to immobilize him. The wounds Celia inflicted were deep and ugly.
Aleena laughed. “You were toying with me too, Brother.”
“You are as worst as your mate!” Colton complained.
“She wins hands-down,” I smirked at Colton.
Colton glared at me before looking at Aleena again. “Fine, you win!” he sulked, but his gaze was tender.
Alpha Zane, Witch Lily, Uncle Cain, and Gamma Grey came to us.
“Great job, Aleena,” Alpha Zane praised his daughter.
“Thank you, Dad,” Aleena blushed at the compliment.
Uncle Cain and Gamma Grey helped Colton stand up and hold him on either side in case he fell down.
Alpha Zane turned to look at the crowd and said calmly, “Now, all of you have seen Aleena’s strength. I hope no one will doubt her when I make her the next Alpha Queen.”
A second after Alpha Zane spoke, the crowd dropped to one knee and bowed their heads. “Alpha Aleena,” they all said in unison.
“I’m not… I’m not your Alpha yet,” Aleena spoke to the crowd with a blush on her face.
“You will be sooner or later. I’m thinking of retiring early,” Alpha Zane told her.
“Damn, our mate is recognized as the next Alpha Queen,” Night said in awe.
“Congratulations, Aleena,” I told her and planted a kiss on her forehead.
She kept quiet, but her blush deepened.
I was pleased for her. Who knew my mate was going to be this powerful? I was glad Night stopped me from killing her when I first learned she was Andre’s so-called daughter.
Everything seemed to lead to a happy ending, and now there was only one problem for us to solve – stopping Zalarus from reviving.
