I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“Aleena Luv, activate my protective spell!” My mates ordered through the mindlink, and I understood what he meant.

I quickly channeled my energy to his protective spell, and it shone brightly before the entire body of my mate was covered in flames.

I had forgotten all about the protective spells since they were broken during the war with the Black Heart Pack, but Kyson remained with him.

“Aleena, your Dad’s protective spell!” I heard Mom’s urgent voice in my mind.

Dad’s protective spell?

I looked at Colton, Dad, Lucas, and Gamma Grey, and only then did I realize that besides Kyson, Dad also had a protective spell floating around him, which was red in color, too!

Could it be…

I tried doing the same thing to Dad as I did to Kyson before, and sure enough, his wolf form was soon surrounded by flames.

Yes! I heaved out a sigh of relief.

With both Kyson and Dad in flames, Zalarus shouldn’t have any chance to win anymore!

Night and Dad lunged toward Zalarus, and for the first time since I saw him today, his expression was no longer smug or confident – there was fear in his black eyes.

Zalarus tried to dodge, but Ace, Lucas, and Gamma Grey rushed toward his side, trapping him. Even though they wouldn’t be able to hurt him, it was enough to stop him from escaping Night’s and Dad’s attacks.

Sure enough, we got the upper hand soon. The wounds inflicted by Dad and Night didn’t heal, and Zalarus’ movement became much slower.

Dad bit Zalarus’ neck and ripped away a part of his flesh while Kyson tore one of his legs out from his body.

Zalarus roared in pain, yet he remained standing. No matter how many wounds he suffered, he wouldn’t die.

Now, what to do? His coffin was gone; how am I going to seal him?

Suddenly, I heard Mom’s voice through our mindlink: “Aleena, try to seal him now!”

Now? I looked toward Zalarus and saw Dad knock him down before everyone jumped away, leaving the heavily wounded Demon King slumped on the ground alone.

I quickly chanted the sealing spell, and Zalarus’ body suddenly stiffened before he struggled. It was as though there were invisible chains wrapping themselves around him.

Once done, I held my breath. Did it work this time?

Much to my and everyone’s dismay, Zalarus laughed and said, “Your little trick won’t work on me.”

His sinister laugh and wounded, bloody appearance sent shivers down my spine.

“What are we to do?!” I shouted anxiously through the mindlinks between Dad, Mom, Kyson, and me as I saw Zalarus trying to stand up.

Before anyone could react or say anything, I saw Night rush toward Zalarus and wrap his arms around his body.

“Aleena Luv, seal him!” Night shouted at me.

My eyes widened in shock before I refused, “No!”

I wouldn’t allow Zalarus to be sealed in my mate’s body!

“Get away from me!” Zalarus roared and tried to escape from Night’s strong hold.

“Trust us, Aleena Luv.” This time, my mates said through the mindlink.

“But…” The image of Uncle Cain’s body being blown apart popped into my mind, and I didn’t want Kyson to suffer the same fate.

“Seal him, Aleena. Quickly!” Mom commanded me.

I looked at everyone, and they all looked at me with anticipation.

Is this the only way?

“Trust us, Aleena Luv,” Kyson and Night told me again through the mindlink.

“Let’s do it, Aleena. Our mates are strong enough to contain him.” Even Celia was thinking the same way as everyone else.

Despite my reluctance, I had no choice but to chant the sealing spell again while praying to the Moon Goddess that this time, we would succeed and nothing would go wrong.

This time, both Kyson’s and Zalarus’ bodies emitted a yellow glow, and once I chanted the last line of the spell, the yellow light burst out, causing everyone in the room to be blinded by it.

It took me a few moments to be able to see everything clearly once more. The room was now free of Zalarus’ dark aura, and there was only one figure standing in place of Kyson and Zalarus.

He was standing with his back toward us, his bare upper body was covered in tattoos, and his hair was neither short nor long. A black aura surrounded him, but it didn’t feel as dark or as ominous as Zalarus.

“Ky… son?” I asked nervously.

Did I succeed? Is the man Zalarus or my mate?

The figure turned around, and my heart nearly stopped as I saw his black, bottomless eyes.

Oh no! Did Zalarus overtake Kyson’s body?

“Ky… son?” I tried calling him again hesitantly. Please let it be Kyson and not Zalarus; I kept praying in my mind.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they looked normal, with the white part around the irises visible and the dark aura surrounding him disappeared.

He opened thin lips, and only one word sounded in my mate’s voice, “Aleena…”

••• Kyson’s POV •••

We all jumped back to give way for Aleena to seal Zalarus as Witch Lily had ordered.

But the expected happened. Zalarus was still alive and not sealed after my mate chanted her spell.

“Your little trick won’t work on me,” Zalarus laughed sinisterly.

Dammit! Why is it so hard to seal this fuckin Demon King?

“Kyson, remember the Moon Goddess’ words?” Night suddenly asked me.

“What?” I asked him as I thought of a possible way to cripple this damn Zalarus. Would clawing his heart out work?

“We are the only one who could contain him,” Night replied, and my train of thought suddenly stopped.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You sure we won’t be blown up?” I asked him. Not that I doubted the Moon Goddess, but still, I wouldn’t want to end up like that fucker Cain.

“The Moon Goddess is never wrong,” Night said.

“Let’s do it, then,” I instantly made up my mind.

“What are we to do?!” I heard my mate ask through the mindlink. Her anxious voice increased my desire to quickly subdue the Demon King.

“Let’s go!” Night said, and we lunged toward Zalarus, trapping him in our arms.

“Aleena Luv, seal him!” we shouted at our mate.

Just as we had expected, she refused our order, “No!”

“Get away from me!” Zalarus roared and struggled. I smirked. “You think you can get away with one leg?” I whispered and mocked him.

“Trust us, Aleena Luv,” we mind linked Aleena.

“But…” she hesitated. She must have the same thought as me – she was scared of me getting blown up.

“Seal him, Aleena. Quickly!” Witch Lily shouted before I could say anything.

“Trust us, Aleena Luv,” we told her again.

I felt her reluctance before my body suddenly felt warm and then hot… in a bad way. Zalarus must be feeling the same way as we did as he began struggling like crazy.

We gritted our teeth to endure the pain and tightened our hold around Zalarus’ body.

The more the spell was chanted, the more painful it was. “Hold on, Kyson!” Night shouted in my mind.

Just like every other spell, by the time it was completed, a burst of light was emitted from our bodies.

I groaned and closed my eyes as I felt myself go through what felt like the fire of hell.

“What the heck?!” Zalarus shouted and tried to push me away, just like Night every time he wanted to take control of my body. I knew then that Aleena had successfully sealed him inside me.

“Ky… son?” I heard my mate call my name nervously.

I turned around and looked at her. She looked nervous, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

“Damn it, let me out!” Zalarus kept yelling and tried to take over my body

“Ky… son?” Aleena called my name again.

I closed my eyes and shoved Zalarus away. Hah, it was even easier to control him than to control Night.

“Aleena…” I called my mate slowly. I knew my appearance had changed slightly, and this might scare her.

“Kyson? Is that you?” she asked with hesitation and anticipation.

“Yeah, it’s me,” I said and walked toward her.

I stopped just inches away from her, and she looked at me as if making sure I really was her mate. I pulled her and buried my face in the crook of her neck, taking in her scent. “It’s me,” I reassured her.

“Kyson!” She wrapped her arms around my body and hugged me tightly.

“You did well,” I told her.

“You are not going to blow up?” she asked, and I laughed. Somehow, her words sounded silly to me.

“No.” I shook my head.

“Thank Goddess,” she said, and suddenly I felt her body became limp.

“Aleena!” I shouted anxiously and picked her up before she fell to the ground.

“Don’t worry, Kyson. She’s just exhausted. The sealing spell took a lot of energy, and she used it more than once. It’s normal for her to faint,” Witch Lily’s voice sounded in my ear.

I looked around and saw that everyone had shifted back to their human forms. Everyone looked exhausted, and they had many injuries that hadn’t healed yet.

“Let’s go back first. We all need to heal and rest,” Alpha Zane said, and all of us left the chamber to go back to the Night Shade Pack.

Alpha Zane and Witch Lily had the least injuries, so now they were the ones who were driving.

I looked at my mate, who was sleeping, making sure that she was really alright. I breathed in relief as I saw her looking only slightly pale, and her breathing was strong and stable.

Once we reached the pack, we quickly went to the hospital to get treated.

“Kyson, you have to be healed and rest, too. Aleena will be alright,” Witch Lily said as we watched my mate sleeping peacefully.

In all honesty, I felt so damn tired, and once I laid down on the bed next to my mate, I surrendered to the darkness that had tried hard to pull me in ever since we arrived at the pack.
