Chapter 49 – Kill Them!
••• Aleena’s POV •••
“Aleena, tell me what happened during the two days you were uncontactable,” Kyson said as we were having breakfast, and I saw both the Betas and Gammas looking at me with interest because of his words.
“I’ll tell you when no one is around. It’s a secret,” I quickly told him through our mindlink.
“Never mind, you have to eat first. You must be hungry,” he diverted the topic smoothly and quickly, not even giving out a hint that I had mindlinked him not to ask about it in front of many people.
“Luna, tell us, what kind of elemental beings did you fight?” Beta Liam asked with a smile.
As long as I didn’t tell them about the Elven Kingdom, then it was a question I could answer.
“Well… I had to fight four elemental beings with the characteristics of each element. The first element was earth, and the elemental being was golem…” I began recounting my experiences with Witch Lily and how I beat each being.
“And now you are able to use the elemental magic?” Beta Liam asked with amazement after I had finished recounting my tales.
“Yes, I can.” I nodded and grinned at all of them.
“You might be even more powerful than Kyson,” Liam joked, and we all laughed, but his words actually caught my interest.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
I turned to look at my mate. He was strong; he was a Lycanthrope, for Goddess’ sake! But would I be able to beat him, or at least be on par with him? If that were the case, then that would be great! This thought psyched me.
“Kyson, I want to spar with you!” I told him with excitement. I wanted to see how much stronger I was and who could best help me gauge my strength other than a Lycan?
“Calm down, Aleena,” he said on the surface, but secretly mindlinked me, “You still need to tell me why I couldn’t contact you.”
“Okay. Let’s go back to my room first; I have something to show you,” I agreed with him, and we finished our breakfast.
I quickly pulled him to the bedroom and asked him, “Would you believe me if I told you that Elves exist in our world?”
“Elves?” He looked shocked. “Did you meet elves?”
“Not only that, but we also went to their kingdom! It’s so beautiful…” I began telling him about the elves and their kingdom, as well as everything else, including details on my fights with the elemental beings and how I could come back so fast.
“So the Elven Queen gave you a dagger?” he asked as I finished my story.
“Yes! I’ll show it to you.” I went to the bedside table and showed him the Elven dagger. It was still beautiful and silver in color, with the carvings on the handle still intact, but it didn’t look like a regular knife; it had changed into an ordinary blunt dinner knife.
He took the dagger cum dinner knife and examined it closely. Then he flicked his wrist, making a swishing sound as if the air were sliced by the blade.
“Give me a piece of paper,” he said before I could tell him how cool his action was.
I quickly took a piece of paper and gave it to him. He casually threw the piece of paper into the air, turned in his spot, and lifted his arm, slicing the paper in half with the knife.
“That’s a good dagger,” he said casually.
I was dumbfounded and amazed looking at my mate. He could slash a mid-air, floating paper with a dinner knife?
“Kyson, you are so cool!” I squealed and threw myself at him, hugging him tight.
“You could do it too,” he said with a faint smile.
“Teach me.” I picked up one of the torn papers and copied his movement, but the paper didn’t get slashed; it was thrown away from the force.
“Use your speed, Aleena. It’s all about speed,” he told me.
I used more speed, yet the result was still the same. It frustrated me, but I didn’t want to give up; I wanted to be able to do it, too. I picked up the paper again and closed my eyes, channeling all my concentration on my speed.
Opening my eyes, I threw the paper in the air and straightened my arm as fast as I could, and the paper was sliced in half. I did it!
“You are great, Aleena,” Kyson said.
“Let’s go to the training ground.” The euphoria from being able to slice a paper with a blunt knife made me more excited to spar with him and gauge my strength.
I pulled Kyson with me, and we arrived at his personal training ground fast.
“Do you want to see my earth magic?” I asked him with an eager smile.
He just stood still and nodded with a smile on his face.
‘Up,’ I commanded the rocks around us, and they floated right away.
“That’s cool,” Kyson said.
Cool? Wait for more.
I let out the water whips from the moon-like object and grinned as I looked at my mate, looking surprised.
“Cool?” I asked him.
“More than cool,” he said as he stepped toward one of the whips and poked it with his index finger. I giggled as I looked at him, trying to make sure that it was indeed made of water.
“I can attack you with them at the same time,” I told him and felt slightly smug.
He returned to his original spot and gestured with his hand for me to attack him.
“Wait, let’s not use the protective spell,” he said before I could command the whips and rocks to attack him.
“But you might get injured.” I was reluctant to make his protective spell disappear. I didn’t want to hurt him.
“It’ll be good practice for me too. Rose will surely use spells during the war,” he reasoned.
His words made me realize that it was indeed the truth. Witch Rose would use spells, and they would even be more powerful than mine. She was an actual witch, after all.
“Okay,” I agreed with him even though I was still reluctant.
I made the protective spells on both of us disappear so as to balance our fight. “Ready?” I asked him.
“Go ahead,” he said.
‘Attack him,’ I commanded the floating rocks and water whips, and they charged toward my mate. As can be expected, he was able to dodge the water whips and block all the small rocks.
‘Keep attacking him,’ I commanded, and I couldn’t keep myself from feeling more excited to fight with him.
I wanted to join in the fight, so I charged toward him together with the rocks and water whips. No matter how I kicked, punched, and used both magic, I was still unable to inflict any harm on him.
‘He’s strong… Strong… I have to defeat him. I have to defeat him no matter what…’ Those thoughts suddenly popped into my mind.
I used all my speed and kept hitting him. More rocks floated in the air, and more water whips were created. His speed increased as he kept dodging and blocking all my attacks, making me command the rocks and water whips to attack him from the sides and behind him while I attacked him from the front.
The more he was able to evade and block my attacks, the more excited I became. It was exhilarating. There was nothing on my mind except that I really wanted to be able to defeat him.
I shifted into my wolf form and merged with Celia.
“Can you feel it?” I asked Celia.
“Yes. I want to defeat him,” Celia’s voice sounded in my mind. Her voice was different than usual. It was full of evil intent, yet I wasn’t against it. In fact, I was feeling the same as her.
Seeing me shift, Kyson followed suit. He shifted into his Lycan form, and we began our fight again. Celia and I used all our speed and power, both physically and magically. We clawed him and tried to bite him, and yet, despite all our efforts, Kyson and Night were still able to remain unscathed.
But the more he remained unhurt and showed us how strong he was, the more we wanted to defeat him. No, not to defeat him, but to kill him.
We looked at the Lycanthrope in front of us, who was so strong and speedy. Kyson Night… Yes… He is Kyson Night… A strong Lycanthrope… The last Lycanthrope in existence.
“I want to kill them,” Celia growled menacingly.
“Yes… We should kill them,” I whispered in a vicious voice.
‘Kill them… Kill them… Kill them…’ That thought kept popping up in our minds.
I created more and more water whips, as much as I could.
“Aleena! Celia!” We heard Kyson’s and Night’s shouts in our minds, but we ignored them. Soon, their voices were replaced by another, and we couldn’t hear them anymore.
“Kill Kyson Night…” the voice inside our minds kept repeating that one thing.
We lunged toward them, and there was only one thing in our mind – KILL THEM!
