I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Aleena’s POV •••

“Kyson. I think this is a bad idea. I don’t think I can do this,” I swallowed nervously.

The crowds in front of me were much more than I expected. There were even cameras and huge TVs everywhere that would broadcast my so-called fights so everyone at the back and those at home could see my fight clearly.

Looking at them and the arrangement, my confidence level started to dwindle. It wouldn’t be a wonder if, in the next few minutes, my confidence would go ‘POOF!’ and disappear into thin air.

Kyson circled his arm around my shoulders and said, “Don’t be nervous, Aleena. Remember our training yesterday. You could even match my speed and strength, and I’m the strongest Lycan in existence,” he tried to comfort me and give me confidence.

But I was too nervous. I didn’t believe I would be able to perform well.

“Just remember everything you’ve gone through. You were once so small and weak, but what happened after that? You could match Colton when sparring with him, and you know he’s strong too. Don’t forget that you beat Gia with minimal effort, and you were able to kill Rose easily,” Kyson reminded me.

“Yes… But there are so many werewolves here watching me,” I began to fidget because of my nervousness.

“Just focus on the fights and forget about them, just like when you killed Rose. You didn’t think about the onlookers then, did you?” Kyson kept on encouraging me.

“You can do it, Aleena! You are strong! You beat five elemental beings, remember? And Queen Neia and the Moon Goddess approved of you!” Celia joined in to encourage me.

I felt a pair of strong arms circling my waist before a deep husky voice sounded in my ear, “Aleena Luv, be confident, alright?”

I looked up to see that Kyson had merged with Night.

With my wolf and mates encouraging me, I didn’t feel so nervous anymore.

They were right. I’d been through so much, and those experiences made me stronger!

“Show them your best!” Celia encouraged me.

“Use 100% of your strength and speed, Aleena. Don’t hold back. You have to show them who you really are – the daughter of the Alpha King. Show them your strength,” Kyson said, and I naturally understood what he meant. The daughter of the Alpha King should be powerful, and this was my chance to show them my true strength, or it would be embarrassing for Dad.

“Aleena,” Dad called me.

“Go on, Aleena Luv. Show them you are worthy of being an Alpha Queen,” Kyson Night pushed me gently while encouraging me.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down before stepping next to Dad.

“This is Aleena, my long-lost daughter. I’m sure you all have heard of her. The reason why I gathered all of you here is to show you that we, the King family, have chosen her to be your next Alpha Queen,” Dad said, and I could hear the murmuring of the crowds.

I had no doubt they were either doubting me or were against the idea. Dad’s words must have shocked some of them… Or maybe all of them. They needed someone strong to be their Alpha, and I didn’t blame them for doubting me.

Furthermore, they all knew about Colton. Colton was a man. He should be the next Alpha King, but instead, Dad chose me, a female.

“I know all of you have doubts about her strength, which is why I gathered you here to witness how great she is. Aleena will fight with Drax, our strongest warrior, and then with Colton, her brother. If, by the end of their fights, everyone doesn’t think she’s worthy, then she won’t be the next Alpha Queen,” Dad said.

I loved how eloquent Dad was. He let the pack members have their opinions, too, so no one would think they were forced to choose me.

“Are you ready, Aleena?” Dad asked, and I nodded.

Gone were my nervousness or doubts about myself. It was replaced by excitement and another emotion. I wanted to make Dad, Mom, and Kyson proud. They believed in me, and I would show them that they were not wrong about me.

I stepped into the training arena, and the next thing I saw was a huge werewolf stepping after me. He was taller than 2 meters, and his muscles were bulging. If I were still the old me – the weak and tiny me, I would be scared shitless looking at him. But I’d changed. I had gone through many trainings and a war. Thus, looking at him didn’t affect me much. I was calm as I assessed him.

“This is Drax. He’s our strongest warrior. Drax, this is Aleena. We are here to gauge her strength, so don’t go easy on her. We need to see if she is qualified to be our next Alpha Queen,” Dad introduced us to each other, not forgetting to tell him of the purpose of our fight.

“Got it, Alpha,” Drax answered.

“The rule will be as usual. There will be two rounds. Ten minutes of fighting in human form, and the next ten will be in wolf form,” Dad told us the rules.

I nodded, and Dad stepped out of the training ground.

“You may begin,” Dad said.

The moment Dad let out those words, Drax came toward me and threw a punch.

Too slow… His movement was too slow. I ducked sideways and gave him an uppercut, which sent him flying a few meters through the air and landing heavily on the ground.

I quickly went to him to check his condition, only to find out that some of his teeth had been knocked off, and he was unconscious.

I looked toward Kyson and glared at him, but he just shrugged as if this had nothing to do with him. He asked me to use 100% of my strength, and now I had hurt the strongest warrior of the Night Shade Pack. I had no intention to hurt anyone, so this was his fault!

“Well, well. It seems the future Alpha Queen is stronger than I thought,” suddenly, I heard a chuckle and a gentle voice.

I looked up to see a man whom I’d never seen before.

“Aleena, this is Gamma Grey,” Dad quickly introduced him to me.

I scrutinized him. He looked gentle and had a gentle voice. Do all important members of the Night Shade Pack look gentle? Dad, Uncle Cain, and now Gamma Grey.

“Mind if I spar with her?” Gamma Grey asked Dad.

Dad looked at me as if seeking approval.

“Okay,” I replied. I also wanted to know the strength of the core members of the Night Shade Pack.

He was shorter and less burly than the warrior before. I shouldn’t use 100% of my strength, should I? Maybe 50%? I wouldn’t want to hurt him too badly.

“You may begin,” Dad said once again.

Just like Drax, Gamma Grey didn’t waste time attacking me. He was faster than Drax, as could be expected from a Gamma. But he was still not as fast as Kyson or even my Lycan speed. Thus, I felt he was still slow.

His attacks were precise, not wasting any moment or room for me to attack back. It was easy to block all his attacks, however. I kept blocking him with my hands and arms, and when he directly threw a straight punch at my face, I grabbed his arm and landed a kick on the side of his head.

He staggered sideways, but he was resilient. He was able to get his bearing back, straightened up, and threw a hook punch to the side of my head. I acted quickly and punched him straight in his face with my Lycan speed before his punch landed on the side of my head. My punch successfully sent him flying a few meters back and caused him to land badly on the ground, just like Drax.

Ooppsss… I had forgotten to use only 50% of my powers.

I quickly went to check on him and apologize. It wasn’t my intention to hurt him badly.

“I’m so sorry, Gamma Grey. Are you okay?” I asked with guilt as I saw his nose broken with blood gushing out from it.

He stood up with my help and chuckled, “I conceded defeat.” He then turned to join Dad and the rest.

I heard the crowd murmuring, but I didn’t pay any attention to them. I was too embarrassed because I had injured both men badly.

I walked to where Kyson, Dad, Mom, Colton, Lucas, Uncle Cain, and Gamma Grey were standing and gathered together at the side of the training ground.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to use that much strength,” I apologized guiltily. They didn’t answer, which made me feel more awkward. “Ummm… Gamma Grey, do you want me to bring you to the infirmary?” I asked. After all, I kicked his head with such force and punched his face. I was scared he might get a concussion because of it.

“Don’t worry about me, Aleena. This won’t injure me that much,” Gamma Grey chuckled and added, “You still have one more fight to go through.”

At the mention of another fight, my eyes went straight to Colton, who was grinning.

“My turn, Aleena,” he said, still with that grin on his face.

“Brother, you seem happy at the thought of fighting me,” I teased him.

“You know me. I love fighting with a strong opponent,” he winked.

“Let’s go!” Colton took my hand and dragged me back to the middle of the training ground.

“Sister, use your elemental magic on me,” he said.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Are you sure you want to fight me while I use my elemental magic?”

“Why? Can’t do it? Are you only able to use it during the war, and now the ability is gone?” he asked with playful arrogance.

I rolled my eyes and smiled sweetly at him, “As you wish, Brother.”

I willed the earth to move, and soon, many rocks were floating, tornadoes were forming, and I even let out my water whips.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Scared, Brother?” I grinned at him.

“This is more like it. It’ll be my honor to defeat you when you are using all your strength,” he kept grinning like he was enjoying this.

“Then let’s begin, Brother,” I said and let the stones attack him immediately.
