I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Kyson’s POV •••

“Shit!” I cursed again as I saw our mates in front of us.

“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!” All I could hear from the mindlink were those words.

“Aleena! Celia!” I shouted their names through the mindlink, but it seemed useless. Her consciousness was gone, replaced by her bloodlust and killing intent.

Those beautiful silver and dark brown eyes had long gone, replaced by blood-red color, and they dripped blood. The combination of bloodlust, killing intent, red eyes, dripping blood, and evil smile gracing Celia’s form was so demonic. If I weren’t an Alpha Lycanthrope, I would be scared shitless looking at her appearance now.

I saw Liam, Colton, and Lucas rushing toward us out of the corner of my eyes. “Stay back! Don’t come near!” I shouted at them.

“Liam, go for Andre. I’ll take care of Aleena,” I mindlinked my beta. Liam changed direction and looked at Andre. Before he was able to lunge toward Andre, Ace moved first. As he charged toward Andre, I saw a blurry movement, and suddenly, Ace was thrown sideways – Aleena had headbutted his side!

I heard Andre’s loud, mocking laughter. “You won’t be able to kill me without killing Aleena. I’m her master!”

Ignoring him, I saw Ace regain his footing and growl toward our mates. “Ace, stand down! Aleena is my problem!” I shouted at him. But no matter how many times I yelled at him, there was no turning back once he was provoked. Even Lucas was growling at our mates to protect his mate.

“Shit!” I cursed as I saw Ace lunge toward our mates. I quickly stood in between them and met Ace’s attack head-on. Circling my arms around Ace’s body, I gave him a little squeeze before throwing him back. “Stand down,” I growled and unleashed all my Alpha aura as I looked at Ace and Lucas at the same time.

No matter what, an Alpha Lycan’s aura was still stronger than those of regular werewolves, and Lucas, Liam, and Ace froze as they felt it.

“Don’t forget our mission! Help with the rest first!” I told the three of them. I didn’t know when, but the war had begun. Werewolves were now fighting against each other, and many were injured.

Rose was casting spells, and I saw small rocks and vines attacking our members. Witch Lily was also casting spells but was no match for Rose. Coupled with the protective spells the enemies had on them and the fact that we were outnumbered, it was clear that we were at a disadvantage.

I turned toward Aleena and saw her attention was fixed solely on me, just as I had expected. Her evil smile grew wider as she saw me, a strong enemy.

She lunged at me out of the blue, and her speed seemed to increase even more. It was on par with Night… No, she was even faster than a Lycanthrope. It was hard for us to keep her away without harming her.

Night and I kept trying to dodge her attacks, but we both knew it would be fruitless to do so soon.

“Night, what to do?” I asked him. I didn’t want to use my entire strength to face her.

“Damn it! She looks like she won’t stop until she kills us!” Night was exasperated as well.

My stomach churned as I heard his words. It was a kill-or-be-killed situation, and only one of us would survive in the end.

“Are you willing to attack and hurt her?” I asked him as we kept jumping around to dodge her attacks, leading her away from Ace and the rest.

“Fuck you, Kyson! I’d rather die than harm her!” he yelled at me, and we both fell silent.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you know what to do now, Night?” I asked him.

“Yeah…” he replied weakly.

“Well…” Even though I had decided on the outcome after seeing Aleena and Celia like this and knew what we needed to do, it was still difficult to say goodbye to the wolf who had been with me all my life.

“It was nice being with you,” Night beat me to it.

I chuckled. “Yeah, it was nice with you around.”

Our mates lunged toward us again, and this time, we caught them and threw them back far away from us, but not to the point of harming her.

“I guess this is it,” Night said.

“Yeah… Goodbye, Night. May we be together again if we were reborn,” I told him.

“Goodbye, Kyson, and amen to that!” he agreed with me.

“Liam, remember our mission,” I mindlinked him and closed all mindlinks except for the one with Aleena.

We watched as our mates growled in annoyance and excitement and pounced toward us again. I mindlinked our mates, “Aleena… Celia… We love you.” I shifted back to my human form, closed my eyes, and waited for what was to come.

For the first time since accepting the fact that she would be my damnation, I hoped and prayed to the Moon Goddess that the mate bond was really fake. With that, she wouldn’t need to feel the heartbreak of losing her mate.

••• Aleena’s POV •••

Kill him… Kill him… Kill him…

We lunged toward the Lycanthrope we wanted to kill in front of us and felt his arms around our body before we were thrown back. His action surprised us since all these while he had always been evading our attacks, but this increased our bloodlust toward him.

After regaining our footing, we didn’t waste another second to pounce at him again. This is it! This is the scene Rose had shown us before. Us, him, and those vines ready to attack him from behind. We are going to kill him… We are going to kill him!

Suddenly, his voice pierced through our minds. “Aleena… Celia… We love you.” He then shifted into his human form.

Suddenly, something seemed to jab our hearts as we heard his words and saw him standing still like a chicken, ready to be slaughtered. “Ky… son…”

Kyson Night… He’s our mate! Our consciousness came back to us, and we saw those vines behind his move to stab him.

“Kyson! Noooo!” Celia and I moved fast toward his back, and the next second, we felt sharp pains in different parts of our body. We whimpered as we felt those vines stabbing us retracted away from our body, and we dropped to the ground.

“Aleena… Celia…” We heard our mates’ trembling voice.

“Kyson… Night… I’m sorry…” It took all our strength to say those words. We coughed and blood sputtered from our mouth.

“Aleena… Celia… Don’t… Don’t say anything… I’ll get Witch Lily to heal you,” our mates said. Tears were streaming down his handsome face. We knew this was our end. No one would be able to stay alive with injuries like ours.

We reached our hands to caress their handsome face. “Handsome Kyson… We…” Celia and I started saying, but the darkness pulling us was too strong for us to fight. In the end, we dropped our hand and finished the rest of the words in our mind before succumbing to the darkness.

The gentle breeze and smell of lavender woke me up. I knew where I was before I even opened my eyes.

“Aleena…” I heard the Moon Goddess’s bewitching voice.

I didn’t want to wake up to face reality, but with the Moon Goddess calling me, I had no other choice.

I opened my eyes, stood up, and walked toward the long bench where the Moon Goddess was sitting.

“Sit with me, Aleena,” she said softly as she patted the empty space beside her.

I obeyed and sat down. “I’m dead, aren’t I?”

“Yes, Aleena. You died from saving your mate,” she said. I knew the answer in my heart, but to hear it from the Moon Goddess herself was disheartening.

“Do you regret saving him?” the Moon Goddess asked when I didn’t say anything after a period of time.

Do I regret it? “No,” I replied firmly. “It’s just… Now I can’t see him anymore,” I sighed. That was the only regret I felt, not to be able to see Kyson and Night anymore.

“I have a surprise for you,” the Moon Goddess said.

I looked at her. “A surprise?”

She nodded. “Didn’t I tell you that you can choose your destiny?”

“Yes…” I replied slowly.

“Well… Ever since Rose and Andre tried to tweak your destiny, you had two choices. Either you killed your mate, or he killed you,” she said, which made me confused.

Neither of those two options happened… So…

“Yes, neither of those two options happened, but you chose the right one. You followed your heart and saved your mate,” she said as though she could read my mind.

“So…?” I was still confused.

“Your mate bond with Kyson is real, Aleena. I was the one who created it,” she smiled gently.

Our mate bond is real? I felt joyous hearing it, but my joy was quickly replaced by sadness. There’s no point now; I’m still dead.

“Do you remember when I told you that when you make the right choice, you will see your true self?” she asked with an ambiguous, cheeky smile.

I nodded. She did tell me that.

“Since you decided to follow your heart and sacrificed yourself, it is time for me to show you your true self… Your true form,” she said and stood up before adding, “I’ll send you back now. Your mate is agonizing over your death; it’s not good to keep him waiting.”

“You are going to revive me?” I asked with wide eyes.

“You can say that,” she chuckled, and I felt my body begin to float. I looked down and saw my body had become transparent.

“Wait! What’s my true form?” I asked the Moon Goddess.

“You are…” I couldn’t hear the rest of her words, but I could read her lips before a blinding light surrounded me.
