I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“Luna Aleena,” Colton made a gesture with his hand and stepped back, giving me space to face the crowd while Kyson, Witch Lily, Beta Liam, and Alpha Lucas stood back.

I moved the moon-like object to my palms and let the energy be transferred to the crowd in front of me. The process was actually quite beautiful – the energy looked like glowing threads that danced in the air, moving from my palms to each ball-like object each of them had.

‘Protect them at all cost,’ I commanded the spells in my mind.

“Does this mean we won’t be hurt?” one of the werewolves in the crowd asked.

“Those spells will help to minimize the harm any attacks will cause you. Try it,” Colton answered.

The werewolf who asked the question threw a punch at the one beside him, and one of the ball-like objects stopped his attack.

“That’s so cool!”

“We will surely win!”

The crowd murmured in excitement.

“Quiet. We still have one other thing to show you,” Colton said to the group.

I shifted and let Celia take control to show Celia’s true form with her silver eyes. This was the last step I had to do.

“Silver eyes!”

“She’s part witch!”

“We have a Lycanthrope and two witches!”

“Look at her size and color. Andre and his pack are doomed!”

I heard the excited clamor from the crowd again. This was the last group I helped activate their protective spells, and Colton’s pack’s members were much more enthusiastic than Alpha Lucas’s pack.

Some of Alpha Lucas’ pack’s members were still skeptical, thinking that Celia’s size was as huge as an Alpha because I had Alpha blood coursing through my vein – which was Andre’s blood.

It got me thinking. Am I really Andre’s daughter? Were all of Kyson’s words when he found out I was Andre’s daughter true? That Andre deliberately banished me for me to meet Kyson?

If it was true, how could he purposely set his only daughter up to be a spy? Just to gain more power? Does he need to go that far?

But I was nearly raped and killed. It was impossible for me to be his daughter. He wouldn’t go as far as getting someone to rape his daughter just so someone else would save her, or would he? That thought made me shudder. If he did, he was heartless for not even sparing his own flesh and blood.

I shook that thought away. I had severe all ties with him the moment he banished me. I wouldn’t accept him as my father anymore, even if I were his real daughter. Furthermore, I hadn’t made contact with anyone from the Black Heart Pack or other packs that worked with him. So, I couldn’t be a spy.

I shifted back once Colton’s pack’s members dispersed from in front of us and quickly wore my clothes with Kyson protecting me from wondering eyes. He had become more possessive since I came back from fighting the elemental beings.

“He’s in love with you now; I had no doubt about it,” Celia’s happy voice sounded in my mind.

I smiled at her words. I had been wanting to tell him that I loved him; how great would it be if he could say it back?

“I’m sure he will say those words soon,” Celia said.

“I hope so,” I told her. I was sure about it too, judging from the way he treated me – he never let my hand go, he was always by my side, he brought me along to wherever he went, and many more things. We were inseparable.

Life was great, but there was still something in my mind. I turned to Colton and said, “Colton, can I ask you something?”

“Of course, you can ask me anything, Aleena,” Colton was still as cheerful as his usual self.

“About your bloodlust… Is there any way for you to control it?” I dived straight into my question.

“Bloodlust? Why do you want to… Ohh… You also experienced it, didn’t you? You were in bloodlust mode when you saw us fighting the last time,” he started the fact out.

“Yes.” I nodded in confirmation. “Is there any way to control it? I nearly hurt Kyson when I sparred with him.” I blushed from embarrassment. Who else had attempted to kill their mates other than me?

True to his cheerful self, Colton broke into a roaring laugh. “You… You nearly hurt Kyson?” he asked in between his laughter.

“Shut up, Colton!” Kyson scolded him.

“You… You were nearly beaten up by her? For real?” Colton stopped his laughter and asked Kyson in disbelief.

“No, no! Kyson is strong. But I might hurt him if the fight lasted longer,” I quickly defended Kyson.

“You are that strong?” Colton asked me, still with wide eyes.

“Not strong, just uncontrollable,” I told him honestly.

“Well, I want to tell you there is a way, but your bloodlust will be triggered every time you face a strong enemy. It’s just the way we are,” Colton said at last.

“So there’s no way to control it?” I was dejected by the idea of not being able to spar with Kyson or Night anymore.

“You can’t control when you are in bloodlust mode, but you can control not to go into it. Every time you feel excited about a fight, you just need to tone the feeling down,” he told me a way to be in control.

“So I just need to control my excitement during fights?” I asked to make sure.

“Yep. As easy as that,” he said in confirmation.

“Alright, since it’s just about controlling excitement, we can practice it. It’s time to go home now,” Kyson spoke.

“See you soon, Aleena,” Colton and Alpha Lucas bade us farewell, and Kyson, Liam, Witch Lily, and I went to Liam’s car.

In the car, I couldn’t help but still have some doubts about my bloodlust. If it only appeared when I was facing strong enemies, how come I didn’t feel it when I was sparring with Colton? Or even when I was facing those elemental beings? Why did I only go into bloodlust mode when I was facing Kyson and Night? I even wanted to kill them.

I wanted to tell Kyson about this doubt, but I was scared. What if he really thought that I was a spy? I didn’t want him to change the way he was treating me. I didn’t want him to think of me badly. I loved him. If he knew and rejected me, I would’ve died from heartbreak.

“Aleena, are you okay?” Kyson’s voice shattered my thoughts. “You’ve been absent-minded ever since we got into the car. Are you still afraid of hurting me?”

I looked out the window and realized we had reached the Crimson Blood Pack.

“I’m just scared I still won’t be able to control it,” I half-lied as I got out of the car.

“Don’t worry, we’ll practice controlling it,” Kyson said as he took my hand and walked toward our house.

“Kyson, I want to practice my magic with Witch Lily,” I lied to him. I didn’t know why, but I felt at ease with Witch Lily since our fights with the elemental beings, and I trusted her with my thoughts.

“Alright. I just need to finish reading some documents. I’ll find you later,” he said, and we parted ways.

I went to Witch Lily’s hut and was about to knock when the door opened as if she had already been expecting me to come, as per usual.

“Aleena, you are here to ask about your bloodlust?” she asked as soon as I sat on one of the wooden chairs.

“Yes. No one knows this, but I felt it only appeared when I was facing Kyson and Night. I even wanted to kill them. I’m scared,” I laid down my thoughts.

Witch Lily came to me and circled her arms around my body. “I know it’s scary, but it is within your destiny.”

“Within my destiny?” I asked.

“Yes.” She nodded and rubbed my back.

I stayed in her arms for a while, feeling her motherly aura, which relaxed me.

If it is within my destiny, then no wonder I didn’t feel the bloodlust when fighting the elemental beings. I was supposed to fight fairly, just like Witch Lily couldn’t use any of her spells. This erased the doubts in my heart. Maybe I could learn to control it after all.

“When the time comes, remember that you have a choice,” Witch Lily said in barely-a-whisper voice.

I was about to ask her what she meant when suddenly I heard a voice through the pack’s mindlink.

“Alpha, we are being attacked! They have come for us!” the voice spoke fast.

WHAT?!

I quickly ran to the pack’s main house and went to Kyson’s study, only to see him and Beta Liam already planning to go to Colton’s pack.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
