I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

I woke up with a gasp.

“Aleena?” I heard Celia’s concerned, sleepy voice in my head.

“I’m okay, Celia. Just some bad dreams,” I told her.

“Are you sure, Aleena?” she asked worriedly.

“Yeah…” I answered her.

“But you are trembling,” she pointed out with concern.

Am I? I looked at my hands, and they were indeed trembling, as did my body. Not only that but I was also covered in sweat.

I took my phone from the bedside table to check the time. It was only 2 am.

“Aleena, what kind of dream did you have to leave you trembling this badly?” she asked.

“I can’t really remember,” I half-lied. “Don’t worry about it. Just go back to sleep, Celia,” I told her.

“Are you sure, Aleena? I can accompany you,” she said. I was glad to have a wolf. Before Celia appeared, I had no one to talk to except Greg. But Greg was a man, and there were things I couldn’t talk to him about. Now I have Celia, to whom I can talk about everything.

“I’m sure. I’m going to bed soon, too. It’s still too early,” I lied again, not wanting to worry her.

“Okay then,” she said. I felt her going to the corner of my mind and heard her soft snore.

‘My heart and mind were filled with uneasiness. It was just like the time after Kyson had marked me. Only this time, I could remember something, just a minor detail – the cries of babies.

I tried hard to recall my dreams, but no images came into my mind. All I could remember were the cries of babies. Is it related to the past when the Lycans kidnapped new-born werewolves? But why would I dream about it? This was too confusing for me. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself, but the uneasiness I was feeling didn’t lessen, much less disappear.

I got off from my bed and walked toward the elevator, intending to feel the night air to calm my nerves.

The pack’s main house was quiet during this time of night. During the day, it would be bustling with many Omegas present to do their duties, but they left during the night as only Kyson and I stayed there. Now I was all alone in this big house. I miss Kyson…

Stepping out of the house, I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath. The air was crisp and clean, bar for the pack members’ scents, which strangely brought calm to my mind and heart.

The night was eerily quiet when everyone was asleep, and yet I didn’t feel an ounce of fear because I knew I belonged there and there was no danger lurking around. I walked around the pack and didn’t even encounter a single soul, but I knew there were guards around the border of the pack.

Looking up, I saw the black sky was clear with many twinkling stars and the still-full moon visible. The ambiance of the night calmed me down.

Going back to the pack’s main house, I saw three men standing in front of it. I froze on my spot. They weren’t members of this pack; they had a different scent than the Crimson Blood Pack members.

I steeled myself and asked, “Who are you guys?”

They turned around, and I still didn’t know who they were. All their faces were unfamiliar to me, but something about them shocked me. They had a small ball in front of them like those protective spells Witch Lily had put on the Crimson Blood Pack members.

I became alert. They were intruders with protective spells. They must have been sent by Andre. The protective spell must be Witch Rose’s doing.

“Who are you, and what are you doing here?” I asked them with narrowed eyes. How did they get past the guards?

They glanced at each other before smiling maliciously.

“You are Aleena, the Luna of this pack,” one of them said.

How did they know? I was shocked but hid it from them, maintaining a calm expression on my face.

“Who are you, and what do you want?” I asked them again.

They didn’t answer me but took steps forward.

I instinctively activated my protective spells, and they looked stunned. They are able to see my protective spells?

They seemed hesitant to approach me once they knew I had a protective spell on me, too. They each only had one ball, while I had five. They must be scared, or so I thought.

But suddenly, one of them charged forward and tried to attack me. I began attacking him back, not caring to block or evade since I knew my protective spells would block all his attacks.

All my punches and kicks successfully landed on him, wounding him, and his two friends joined the fight, knowing they would lose if they attacked me one by one.

I mindlinked the guards and Gamma Hector, but no one replied. Where are they? Why didn’t they respond and come to help?

Fortunately, their movements weren’t as fast as Kyson’s, and they couldn’t hurt me.

They shifted into their wolf forms once they knew they couldn’t defeat me.

“Celia!” I shouted in my mind to wake Celia up as I shifted into my wolf form, too.

“What’s happening? Who are they?” Celia’s voice sounded instantly in my mind.

“Intruders,” I explained with one word, and Celia merged with me.

The wolves in front of us seemed to freeze as they took in Celia’s appearance.

We snarled at them and began charging toward them. Just as we thought they were going to attack us, all three of them fled away from the scene in different directions.

We tried to run after them, but since they scattered away, it was impossible to catch up with them.

We stopped in our tracks and looked around when suddenly we felt another presence behind us.

Turning swiftly, we saw five wolves different than the three before. We were ready to attack but recognized that they were guards of the pack.

I shifted back to my human form, and they followed suit.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Luna, what happened?” one of them asked me.

“Intruders,” I explained in one word again since I didn’t know the purpose of the intruders in coming to the pack.

“Intruders? We didn’t see anyone passing through the border.” They were as confused as me as to how the intruders were able to escape their watchful eyes. All the guards in the Crimson Blood Pack were strong and highly trained; it was impossible for them not to see if any outsiders tried to sneak in.

“Are you alright, Luna? Did they manage to injure you?” One of them asked without looking at me. Well, I was naked, as they were. Ever since Kyson growled at the male members at the training ground, all of them wouldn’t dare to look at me in my naked form.

“No, they didn’t manage to hurt me,” I told them.

“Why didn’t you mindlink us, Luna? We would’ve taken care of them then,” one of them said.

“You didn’t hear my mindlink?” I was puzzled. I did mindlink them, didn’t I?

“No, Luna. We knew there was a danger when we felt your aura leashing out,” one of the guards explained.

That was strange… My mindlinks should’ve worked, but they said they didn’t hear me. Are they lying to me? Were they the ones who purposely let the intruders in?

I kept my gaze on them, scrutinizing them to see if they were lying, but their confused and concerned expressions weren’t faked.

Well… They wouldn’t betray Kyson, would they? They would’ve run away with the intruders if they crossed him because Kyson would surely kill them for betraying him. But then, how did the intruders get in without anyone noticing?

“Is there any other way to get into the pack other than through the border?” I asked.

“No, Luna. As you can see, the pack is situated on a mountain; there is no way for them to get in from other ways, except if they could fly,” one of them answered.

Okay, flying was out of the question. No matter how strong Witch Rose was, she wouldn’t be able to give them wings or make them fly.

“You should check if any of the pack members are injured and return to your posts after that,” I told them. There was no use in them loitering around the pack’s main house anymore. It would be best if they guard the border.

They all shared a look with one another before one of them said, “There are many guards around the border; three of us will stand guard here lest they come back.”

I didn’t prevent them from doing so. I knew they needed to protect me, their Luna. “Alright then. I’ll go back to sleep now.”

I turned around and entered the house, going to Kyson’s bedroom instead of mine. I took a quick shower and wore one of his shirts. The incident didn’t scare me, but I just wanted to feel him. I decided to mindlink him and tell him what had happened early in the morning since he was surely asleep now.

I went to his bed and lay down, pulling the blanket around me. It smelled like him, and I felt like I was hugged by him.

My mind went back to the incident. Why did the intruders run away? Were they scared of Celia?

“Celia, what do you think?” I asked Celia.

“I’m not sure, Aleena. But I don’t think they were going to harm you. They didn’t attack your vital points,” Celia said.

If they didn’t plan to harm me, then what were they doing in front of the house?

“Is Kyson their real target?” I wondered about it; that was the only thing I could think of.

“Maybe not. Andre would have been the one coming here if their target was Kyson,” Celia said.

Celia’s words made me think about the bad blood between Kyson and Andre, and I somehow agreed with her. If their target were Kyson, Andre would be the one killing Kyson. He wouldn’t ask anyone else to do the task.

There was no point; it would be best to ask Kyson about it. Smelling Kyson’s scent calmed me down, and soon, I began to drift off to sleep.
