I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“But alas, Andre’s underlings caught news of it, and they hunted us down. I was near death, but fortunately, the Moon Goddess saved me and brought me back to Solaris,” my dad explained.

If the Moon Goddess saved him, maybe…

“But what about Mom?” I asked him. “Is she still alive too?” I hoped the Moon Goddess had saved her too and that she was somewhere in this mansion and would appear anytime soon.

Dad was about to answer my question but was interrupted by the knocking on the door. Without waiting for his command to come in, the door was already opened, and I saw a beautiful lady whom I recognized instantly. I was shocked that she would appear in the human realm.

Dad and I stood up to greet her.

“I see all the main characters are her,” the Moon Goddess’ enchanting voice sounded.

“Moon Goddess, you are here,” Dad greeted her with respect.

“Moon Goddess,” I greeted her, too.

She looked at Dad and me and nodded in acknowledgment.

“Now that you are all here, I want to clarify some things,” she said.

My heart began thumping wildly. Is she going to tell me that my Mom is still alive?

“Calm down, Aleena,” she laughed as if she could sense my anxiety and excitement.

I blushed and gave her a sheepish smile while trying to reign my impatience to tell her to spill everything instantly.

Moon Goddess took a seat on the L-shape sofa near Colton and Lucas.

“I believe some of you haven’t met me yet. Let me introduce myself. I am the Moon Goddess,” she introduced herself with her soft, alluring voice.

Colton, who never could hide his emotions, was gawking like a teenage boy who had never met a beautiful woman.

“You are so beautiful,” he blurted out.

The Moon Goddess laughed her tinkling bell laughter, which made Colton blush.

“Thank you, Colton,” she smiled enchantingly, and Colton’s face grew even redder.

“Alright, let’s start with Andre,” she said. “Andre was supposed to have a great future. He was supposed to be one of the most powerful Alpha in this world, but alas, Rose got into his head and manipulated him.”

“He was supposed to help Aleena and Kyson, but he did it in the wrong way. Once he fell into Rose’s hand, there was no turning back for him. Greed for power consumed him,” she continued.

“To let all of you know, no future is set in stone. There will always be choices for all of you, and it depends on whether you want to take the right path or the wrong path. Unfortunately, Andre took the wrong path. He believed in Rose and did all those horrible things. To tell you the truth, he could gain power and became powerful without the need to annihilate the Lycanthropes,” the Moon Goddess added.

“It was true that a Lycanthrope would kill him, but that Lycanthrope was evil. But because of Rose’s words, he believed he should kill all Lycans to save himself, which was not the case. If he followed the right path, he would be able to kill that one Lycanthrope who was going to kill him, and from then on, he would live peacefully,” the Moon Goddess continued explaining about Andre.

“How… How was he supposed to help Kyson and me?” I asked her. It was unbelievable that he would help us, but if what the Moon Goddess said was true and he didn’t turn evil, I wanted to know how he would help us.

“I’ll get to it later,” she said with a smile, and I had to stop myself from pressing her to tell me about it for the time being.

“Let’s talk about your father,” she said. “When you were hunted because of the birthmark, your father tried very hard to save you. But with so many witches under Rose, he was still hurt. Or you could say that he was nearly killed. When I saw what was happening, I quickly saved him. After all, he is the Alpha King and has his own destiny. I couldn’t let him die just like that. I brought him back to Solaris and let him recuperate there with the condition that he wouldn’t interfere with Andre’s plan for you.”

At this point, we were all too engrossed with her story to ask about anything, just letting her tell us of her plans.

After a pause, she continued again. “I also work together with the stronger witches. Rose didn’t know that many witches were not on her side. They just pretended to obey her, and when Rose ‘killed’ them, they were prepared for it. Those who were working with me had already cast a spell on themselves to protect them from Rose’s attack. In the end, they just pretended to be dead so as not to arouse her suspicion.”

So what Witch Lily told us before was true.

“But the werewolves still killed all the Lycanthropes,” I heard Kyson say with bitterness.

The Moon Goddess turned to look at Kyson with a sad expression. “I’m sorry about that, Kyson. They were blinded, just as Andre was. But after that war, the witches showed them the truth. They were remorseful and wanted to kill Andre and Rose, but I couldn’t let them.”

“Why wouldn’t you let them? They annihilate my kind! I was left alone!” Kyson started to become furious, and I quickly held his hand and mindlinked him, “Kyson, I know you are angry. I’m angry, too. But let’s calm down and listen to the Moon Goddess’s explanation first.”

Kyson took a deep breath, and I felt his anger simmering down.

“Because Kyson, If I let them, Aleena wouldn’t be as strong as she is now, and your relationship with her might not be as it is now,” the Moon Goddess said.

“You mean Aleena wouldn’t be my mate?” his anger spiked up again.

“She would still be your mate… But…” for once, she hesitated to say what was on her mind. After a few minutes, she seemed to make up her mind to tell us. “If the werewolves were to attack and take revenge on Andre and Rose, Aleena, who they had captured, would be killed by Rose. She would be collateral damage as she was still a baby. Knowing they couldn’t win and knowing that Aleena was the daughter of the Alpha King, they would take her life with them. If that happened, then…” the Moon Goddess didn’t finish her sentence, but we all knew what she meant.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

My body trembled, and I felt my blood drain from my body. If it happened, I wouldn’t get to meet Kyson, and he wouldn’t have a mate. Tears started to pool in my eyes at that thought.

Suddenly, I felt myself being enveloped by my mate’s body. “Don’t think about it, Aleena. What matters is that we are here right now,” he whispered.

“But if it happened, you’ll be lonely your whole life,” I sobbed. The thought of me being killed didn’t sadden me. I was saddened by the idea of him living by himself, with no mate and maybe no happiness, since he would be the only Lycan left in existence.

“I’m here, aren’t I? And you are here too. I’m happy now. Don’t think of things that didn’t happen,” he said. “Don’t be sad for me. Don’t cry. It pains Night and me when you cry.”

I tried to hold back my sadness. Yes, we are here now. We are happy now. I took in his scent to calm myself down.

“You okay now?” he asked after a while.

“Yes,” I nodded. “I won’t go anywhere. I’ll stay by your side. You won’t feel lonely. You’ll always have me,” I promised him.

He smiled and kissed my forehead, and I could feel his love for me.

“Am I allowed to continue now?” the Moon Goddess teased.

“Sorry,” I said sheepishly and pulled back from Kyson’s embrace, only to feel his hold around my shoulders tightened, and I had no choice but to lean on him.

The Moon Goddess started to speak again after she saw I had calmed down. “Other than Kyson losing his mate, the world would turn chaotic if the werewolves were to take revenge on Andre and Rose.”

Chaotic? I was about to ask her what she meant, but she continued before I could say anything.

“Of course, that was only one of Aleena’s futures. Since Andre and Rose wanted to use Aleena to kill you, Kyson, that would be Aleena’s other future,” the Moon Goddess told Kyson.

She then turned to look at me. “Aleena, you must remember that during Rose’s experiment on you, it was quite hard for her to succeed.”

I nodded in confirmation. Rose had difficulty creating my mate bond with Kyson.

“At that time, I was contemplating whether to let her succeed, but since it would be beneficial to you, in the end, I had to let her do it,” she said.

Beneficial? How was that beneficial?

“I let Rose transfer her magic to you ‘accidentally’. And as expected, it only made you stronger, “she said with a twinkle in her eyes.

“So I was supposed to know magic with or without Rose’s experiment?” I was shocked. I didn’t think I would have magical ability if not for Rose.

“Did you think your birthmark is just a decoration?” the Moon Goddess laughed. “You are destined to be able to use one magic, but because of Rose and what happened, you could be considered as half-witch now and are able to use more magic,” she added.

“It wasn’t easy for me to ensure that you will fulfill your destiny with so many external forces trying to lead you astray, but then I’m the Moon Goddess. No matter what, no one can rewrite the destinies I had written for my children, except if they were swayed and chose the wrong path. Furthermore, I was sure Aleena would abide by my words and follow her heart,” she said with a smile.

Her words made me embarrassed. “It was thanks to Kyson and Night. If they didn’t tell me they loved me at that last minute, I wouldn’t be able to escape my killing intent.”

“Your mate helped you, but if you didn’t think of him at all during that time, or if you didn’t believe that you love him, his words wouldn’t be able to pierce through your mind,” she said gently.

“This is all quite difficult to swallow, isn’t it? Andre and Rose had changed everything, yet in the end, everything still went according to my plan,” she suddenly let out a soft laugh.

It is indeed difficult to swallow. There is just too much information to be thought about.

“Now, let’s talk about you and Kyson, Aleena. Let’s talk about your destinies, which are greater than anything else. Both of you are fated to save the werewolves and the world,” she said.
