I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Kyson’s POV •••

I looked at Aleena as she transferred her energy to Witch Lily. She had changed a lot since I first saw her. No longer was she the small, wolfless, weak, human-like, shy little girl, but she had turned into a beautiful, alluring, confident, and powerful Lycanthrope.

Looking at the crowd’s glassy and dazed looks, I was sure they were watching some memories – the truth. They were watching the truth.

Now, all that was left was for them to be able to accept it and tell the rest of their packs about it. Even if the rest of their packs won’t believe it, we still have many who believe the truth and can convince them.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and yet their eyes were still glassy. Honestly, I didn’t know what Witch Lily was showing them. From what I heard from Aleena, I guessed she must be showing them the scenes where Rose told Andre about the prophecy of a Lycan killing him, how they twisted the fact and made the werewolves believe that the Lycans were going to eradicate the werewolf race, the scene when Andre and Rose killed those were-babies and the former Luna of the Black Heart Pack… And maybe more.

Looking at Aleena again, I realized she had been through so many hardships. Losing her parents, being made into an experiment to kill me, her own mate, her power being sealed, and she even had to see all those gruesome scenes.

Yet it didn’t dampen her spirit. Instead, it made her into someone fit to be a Luna. A Lycan Luna. My Luna. I reached out, pulled her into my arms, her back to my front, and buried my face in the crook of her neck.

A small, satisfied moan escaped my lips. Her unique scent always soothed me and got me hard at the same time.

“I love you,” I mumbled those three words against her skin. I hadn’t known how much I loved her until she nearly died. It wasn’t just because of the mate bond. That bone-deep terror I felt as I watched her ‘die’ was not something I wanted to experience again.

Aleena turned her head slightly to look at us. “I love you too.” Her loving gaze was more than enough for me to seize her lips with mine into a gentle and slow kiss.

“How are you?” I asked her.

Her gaze flickered for a second, and her expression turned sad. “I’m… tired, I guess.”

I kept quiet, waiting for her to continue.

“Not physically, just… emotionally. I wonder if any part of my life is real. It seems everything is a lie,” she sighed and leaned back against my body.

I tightened my hold around her waist. It was careless of me to have forgotten to ask about her mental state. To think that she saw everything that they had done to her. If I saw what she saw… My hands clenched involuntarily at the thought.

“I’m your mate; that’s not a lie,” I comforted her with the only thing that came to my mind at the moment.

She chuckled softly and nodded. “Thank Goddess for that.”

Yeah… It was a blessing that the Moon Goddess gave me Aleena as my mate.

I felt so complete with her in my arms and her unique scent surrounding me. I wished time like this would never end… Unfortunately, if Andre’s last words were true, we wouldn’t have a peaceful time in the near future.

“Hey, why are you guys being all romantic while we are in the middle of something serious?” a voice suddenly sounded, breaking the peaceful atmosphere between Aleena and me.

Aleena and I looked at each other before she laughed, and I rolled my eyes.

“Aren’t you doing the same thing?” I chided that stupid Alpha of the Rogue, who was in the same position as Aleena – being held by his mate.

“We are different from you. This matter is related to you and Aleena; it is not related to us, so we can be romantic in this situation,” Colton replied with a smug smile.

His reply made me speechless. What kind of logic is that? I rolled my eyes at him and was about to retort, but suddenly, an angry voice rose from among the crowd.

“This is bullshit! You are trying to brainwash us with lies!” Alpha of Spirit Shadow Pack roared, denying to accept the truth. This Alpha Lane… How blind could he be?!

I suppressed my urge to lash out at him when I saw Witch Lily twirl her staff and chant a spell again.

This time, only Alpha Lane was blanketed with the warm glow. After only less than a minute, he groaned and clutched his head as if his head was going to explode.

“That, Alpha Lane, is what happened when I showed you a lie,” Witch Lily said calmly.

As I was about to step forward, Aleena beat me to it.

“When a witch shows you lies, you will have a headache. Did any of you experience any headaches?” she asked as her gaze swept through the silent crowd.

“No? Then what about when Rose showed you those so-called truths?” she asked, her voice and stance brimming with confidence, as a Luna should.

No one replied, not even Alpha Lane, who was adamant in refusing to acknowledge that what Witch Lily had shown them was the truth. I could see them accepting the truth after Aleena spoke.

Alpha Oscar, Alpha of the Glowing Stone Pack, stepped to the front and said, “Alpha Kyson, Luna Aleena, we are sorry to have been blinded by Andre and Rose.”

“It’s okay, Alpha Oscar. They were too evil and scheming. I, myself, was blinded by their so-called truth,” Aleena said before I could reply.

“Thank you for sparing our lives.” Alpha Oscar continued humbly.

“Don’t worry about it. As long as you guys believe the truth, we should be able to live harmoniously.” I nodded curtly at him.

“We’ll return to our pack now and tell the rest the truth.” He gave a slight nod to us as a sign of respect, and his pack members followed by bowing down slightly before they left.

“Luna Aleena,” Alpha Lane looked at my mate in embarrassment.

“As I’ve told Alpha Oscar, it’s okay,” Aleena said with a calm smile.

“We’ll… We’ll get going and do the same as Alpha Oscar.” Alpha Lane and his pack members bowed down slightly to us before they got going.

“Wow, Aleena. I can’t believe you could make Alpha Lane bow down to you,” Colton whistled.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“They accept her as our Luna,” Night howled happily in my mind.

“Of course. She’s my Luna,” I told Colton with pride.

“Yeah, yeah. Imagine if you really rejected her last time.” Colton rolled his eyes and smirked.

I glared at him. I knew he was thinking of what would happen if I had rejected Aleena and was rejoicing at my stupid thought at that time.

“Aleena…” A weak male voice suddenly sounded.

We all looked toward the man, and I saw him reaching out his hand toward Aleena. I growled and grabbed his hand forcefully, nearly crushing his bones. How dare he try to touch my mate!

The man winced from the pain my hand was inflicting.

“Greg…” Aleena replied with a sweet smile.

“Who is he?” Night growled dangerously in my mind. “Why is she smiling sweetly at him?”

“I… I’m sorry. I have misunderstood you. We all have,” the man, Greg, said.

“No worries about it, Greg. It doesn’t matter anymore. Now you know the truth,” Aleena replied, still with the same sweet smile. “How are you?”

Who the fuck is he?! Looking at them talking with ease, my body began trembling with jealousy.

“Kyson, calm down. Let him go.” I felt her hand cover mine that was going to crush Greg’s bones.

Her action made me more furious. She’s actually siding with him?!

“Kyson. He’s my friend. Calm down, okay?” she stepped forward, circled her arms around my waist, and gave my lips a peck. “You are the one I love.”

Her words decreased my jealousy slightly. I let go of Greg’s hand but glared at him in a warning.

“I’m sorry, Alpha Kyson. I was out of line,” Greg said as he rubbed the spot I had gripped. “We were best friends when Aleena was in our pack.”

“Luna Aleena,” I growled. He should call her ‘Luna Aleena’.

He smiled apologetically and addressed her as I wanted.

I suppressed my anger and said, “Go back to your pack and discuss with them who should be the next Alpha.”

After thinking for a while, I added, “Or you can merge with one of the packs if they accept you.” it would be the easiest solution for their pack right now.

“Alright, Alpha Kyson. We’ll go back and discuss the pack’s future. See you next time, Luna Aleena.” He bowed, and the rest of the Black Heart Pack members followed him.

“Who is he?” I growled and pulled Aleena into my arms.

“I’ve told you. He’s my friend,” Aleena said.

I snorted. As if I believe her. There must be more to the story from how she smiled at him.

“Okay, okay. I was in love with him,” Aleena confessed.

Love? She was in love with him?! Jealousy consumed me again, and I couldn’t help the growl that escaped my lips.

“Oh, come on, Kyson. It’s in the past. Not like you don’t have any fault yourself,” Colton suddenly joined in our conversation.

“Colton’s right. We met a few times, yet you didn’t even glance at me,” Aleena glared at me before I could retort.

“And he didn’t want you as his mate. He was going to reject you!” that stupid Colton fan the flame.

“Yes, yes. He even wanted to kill me. If not for Night stopping him, I’d be dead right now. And he didn’t believe me. He threw me to the dungeon and asked someone to torture me,” Aleena spoke again.

“Yeah, you were a dick to her,” Night snorted.

I became speechless after their ‘attacks’, and guilt started to spread across my heart. They were right. I was a dick to Aleena. I was harsh on her.

“I’m sorry,” I apologized sincerely to her.

I thought she was going to scold me further, but she laughed instead. Even Colton and Night laughed with her.

“It’s so much fun to guilt-trip you,” Colton gloated.

I glared at him and Aleena.

“Alright, alright. It’s time for us to go back too,” Lucas saved his mate from being punched by me.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. It wasn’t the time to quarrel childishly with them.

“Follow me to the study first. There’s something I want to tell you guys,” I told them.

I needed to tell them about Andre’s last words.
