I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“Aleena…” the familiar soft voice called me.

I lifted my head and saw Witch Lily on the other side of the dungeon’s gate. I was about to call her name when the memory of her being killed came to my mind.

“Who… Who are you?” I asked her instead and backed away further into the dungeon. Even though she had helped me a lot, even though sometimes I felt motherly love from her, her identity was unknown. She might be in cahoots with Andre and Rose.

“Who I am is not important at the moment. I can’t stay long, Aleena. All you need to know is that I will never ever harm you,” she spoke fast.

“I saw you died!” I exclaimed. What other important things could lead her here?

“I can’t explain right now, Aleena. Andre and Rose will come soon. I’m here to tell you one thing. You need to trust your heart. You need to trust your feelings and Kyson’s, too,” she said hurriedly.

“What… What do you mean? Are you saying that my feelings for Kyson are real?” I was still skeptical about her words because of her mystery.

Suddenly, I heard the loud clang of the main dungeon key being unlocked, and Witch Lily, or whoever she was, quickly said, “This is your fate, Aleena. Choose wisely. I need to go.”

“Wait!” I quickly got up, walked toward the gate, and stopped her from leaving. “Is Kyson here?” I grabbed the bars and hissed when my hands were burned by the wolfsbane.

She quickly chanted a spell to heal my wounds before saying, “He’ll be here soon.” Then she turned to leave again.

“Tell him not to come, please,” I begged her. “They are going to make me kill him if he comes.”

“This is your destiny, Aleena. “Remember, trust your heart,” she said and disappeared before I could say anything else.

Trust my heart… Trust my feelings… She said the same thing as the Moon Goddess. Does it really mean that my feelings for Kyson are real and not a product of Rose’s witchcraft?

“Yes, it must be true, Aleena. No one can create mate bonds other than the Moon Goddess,” Celia sounded excited, and I could feel her hope flowing through my body, too.

“Aleena,” an annoying voice came into my ears as I was pondering about what Witch Lily, Moon Goddess, and Celia had said, casting away the hope that was unfurling in my heart.

I backed away from the gate and sat back down on the floor.

“What do you want?” I asked Rose coldly.

“I’m here to bring you your breakfast. Aren’t I nice?” she asked with a fake gentle smile, creating goosebumps all over my body.

I glanced at the so-called breakfast. “You are so nice by giving me a piece of moldy bread and a cup of Goddess knows what, considering how I’m going to help you kill your enemy,” I mocked her.

Her expression became so ugly that I laughed out loud, seeing how I could almost make her lose control.

“You look so ugly. It wasn’t a wonder you only knew how to snatch someone’s destined mate away. I’m sure no one would want you except Andre, who’s as ugly as you,” I mocked her again.

Her expression turned even uglier, but then she took a deep breath, and her face turned normal, much to my disappointment.

“Someone seems to be in good spirits,” she said with fake gentleness.

I didn’t respond with my words but just glared at her.

“It seems you don’t take our words seriously. In that case, why don’t I show you the prophecy?” she taunted me.

I turned my head sideways, not wanting to look at her.

She chuckled and chanted a spell, and a scene appeared before me. It was different than the memories she had shown me before when I went into them; this was more like a movie playing in front of me.

I saw Celia’s wolf form and Night’s Lycan’s form standing on each side of a field with many werewolves fighting against each other. Suddenly, Celia lunged toward Night and…

“Nooo!” I shouted and closed my eyes.

My body trembled violently, my heart was beating wildly, and I felt suffocated.

Rose’s evil laugh sounded and echoed in the dungeon, making the atmosphere even eerier. “THAT is your destiny, Aleena.”

I shook my head, not wanting to believe it.

“You can’t tell me you don’t believe it when I had shown it to you,” she said evilly.

I couldn’t speak to refute her. It was too much. I felt like this was the last straw. I couldn’t deny it anymore. My destiny really was to kill Kyson and Night, my own mate.

“Eat your breakfast, and we’ll go up soon. I’m sure your mate will arrive soon,” she said and left the dungeon.

I kept looking at a spot on the floor, feeling even more helpless.

“Aleena, listen to me. It might be fake,” Celia’s voice sounded in my mind.

“But… But… You saw it… You saw us kill Kyson and Night,” I told her shakingly.

“Listen to me, Aleena. The Moon Goddess said you have a choice. Even if what Rose showed us is the truth, we might still be able to change the ending. Trust in the Moon Goddess, Aleena,” Celia tried to comfort and convince me not to give up hope.

The Moon Goddess… Yes… She said I had a choice. Witch Lily also emphasized that I should trust my heart. Follow and trust my heart.

With that thought in mind, my fear, confusion, doubt, and helplessness gradually disappeared. My head became clear – I love Kyson and Night. WE love Kyson and Night, our mates.

“That’s it, Aleena. We do love our mates,” I heard Celia’s relieved voice.

“I’m sorry, Celia,” I said guiltily. I should’ve maintained my cool and trusted the Moon Goddess.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“No worries, Aleena. We must remember that our feelings are real,” Celia said.

“Thank you… for helping me calm down,” I told her with gratitude. I was so grateful that Celia was with me. If I were alone, I wouldn’t be able to think straight and fall straight into their plan.

“This is what I’m here to do. After all, I’m your best friend. And don’t forget the fact that I’m the strongest female wolf,” Celia replied with cheery smugness.

I laughed hearing her words. “What’s you being the strongest female wolf has got anything with our situation? Don’t tell me you want to kill Kyson and Night.”

I felt her rolling her eyes. “Of course, it has something to do with our situation! We are going to kill Rose!”

“You are right!” Chatting with Celia nearly wiped away all my worries until suddenly, we heard the clang of the dungeon’s lock being opened again, and hurried footsteps were heard.

Andre and Rose appeared with malicious smiles on their faces. Rose opened the dungeon’s gate and yanked my arm.

“It’s time, Aleena. Your mate is here to save you, and you are to kill him,” Rose said gleefully.

I stiffened and tried to break free, but somehow I couldn’t.

“Tsk, Aleena. Didn’t we tell you that you are under her control? You can only obey her words,” Andre clucked his tongue.

Fear washed over me again. Kyson is here! But if I can only obey Rose’s words…

“Don’t listen to them, Aleena. We can turn this situation around. Remember what the Moon Goddess said,” Celia cut through my thoughts and reminded me quickly.

That’s right… They don’t know that the Moon Goddess has visited me and told me those words. All I could do now was to meet Kyson and save him. We can turn this around. I won’t kill him and Night!

I pretended to listen to them and follow them obediently. They brought me to the pack’s border, where I saw many Black Heart Pack members already on stand-by in their wolf forms.

I saw Kyson, Colton, and Lucas in their human forms while their pack members were already in their wolf forms on the other side of the field. This is what Rose showed me. This situation is similar to the scene where I will kill him. Am I really going to kill him?

I shook my head. No! I have to trust the Moon Goddess! I have to trust my feelings! I have to trust Kyson’s feelings, too! I steeled myself as I watched my mate. He still looked as handsome as he ever was. I missed him so much.

“I’ll open your mindlink so he can hear how you want to kill him,” Rose said, still gleefully, as if me going against my mate was something to be watched happily.

“Kyson?” I tried mindlinking him.

“Aleena?” came his response.

I heaved out a sigh of relief.

“Are you alright?” he asked before I could say anything.

“I’m okay,” I replied. “Kyson, they are going to make me…”

Suddenly, I felt something bubbling inside me, the same thing that happened whenever I sparred with him.

He’s Kyson Night. We need to kill him… Yes… We have to kill him… Kill him… Kill him…

“Aleena!” I heard Kyson’s voice through the mindlink again.

His voice cleared my mind. “Ky… son… They are making me…”

Kill him… Kill him… Kill him… Kill Kyson Night… He’s the enemy… He has to die!

Those words overlapped my consciousness, and I had a hard time taking control of myself.

“Kyson, go back! They are making me kill you!” I mindlinked him quickly before my evil mind took over again.

Kill him… Kill him… Kill him… Kill him!
