••• Aleena’s POV •••“Aleena, today we are going to Zalarus’ tomb,” Dad said as we were eating breakfast.I looked up from seeing my breakfast.“One of the witches told me it is getting more difficult to contain him. She said Zalarus’ aura is getting stronger, and it seems like someone deliberately wants him to awaken,” Dad explained grimly. “Someone wants to awaken him?” I was shocked.“Yes,” Dad nodded with a gloomy expression.“But who would want to awaken something dangerous?” I asked.“Someone who wants to conquer the world?” Colton said while munching his food.“Is it possible to awaken him?” Kyson asked.“It is possible. But he would need a vessel,” Dad said.“A vessel?” I asked. What kind of vessel?“A body. He needs to occupy someone’s body,” Mom answered.“But wouldn't the witches know the person?” I asked in confusion. The witches have been guarding the tomb. If someone deliberately wanted to awaken Zalarus, they should know about it or even be able to stop them, shouldn't
••• Aleena’s POV •••The room shook, and I prayed hard for it not to collapse, or we would all be buried alive.Thankfully, my prayer was answered, and the room stilled after long moments of shaking.The dust began settling, and once it settled, there was no more Uncle Cain. There was only Zalarus, the Demon King, in front of us. Zalarus had long black hair, eyes as black as the night with no white part, chiseled facial features, and tattoos all over his bare upper body. He actually looked mesmerizing, if not for the vicious aura surrounding him.“How weak and stupid. Pathetic,” he muttered to himself, and we all knew whom he was referring to.He swept his gaze across all of us and grinned evilly. Even his gaze caused me to be rooted in fear.“I have to thank your brother for reviving and giving me his body,” he told Dad lazily as if blowing Uncle Cain’s body up was nothing.“You won't get away with this, Zalarus. We will seal you once more and keep you here forever,” Dad said with a
••• Aleena’s POV •••“Aleena Luv, activate my protective spell!” My mates ordered through the mindlink, and I understood what he meant.I quickly channeled my energy to his protective spell, and it shone brightly before the entire body of my mate was covered in flames. I had forgotten all about the protective spells since they were broken during the war with the Black Heart Pack, but Kyson’s remained with him.“Aleena, your Dad’s protective spell!” I heard Mom’s urgent voice in my mind.Dad’s protective spell?I looked at Colton, Dad, Lucas, and Gamma Grey, and only then did I realize that besides Kyson, Dad also had a protective spell floating around him, which was red in color too!Could it be...I tried doing the same thing to Dad as I did to Kyson before, and sure enough, his wolf form was soon surrounded by flames. Yes! I heaved out a sigh of relief.With both Kyson and Dad in flames, Zalarus shouldn't have any chance to win anymore!Night and Dad lunged toward Zalarus, and for
••• Kyson’s POV •••“Hey, Kyson. Don't you think you look better now?” Night popped a question as I was standing in front of the mirror after taking a shower.Better? I looked into the mirror and studied my reflection. Not to be a narcissist, but I did look better with Zalarus’ tattoos over my arms and upper body, plus my hair that was now reaching a little past my shoulders.“You look cooler, don't you think so? Like a badass,” Night asked again as he also admired my reflection.“Of course, he looks cooler. It’s because of me. Because I’m handsome and cool,” Zalarus boasted and smiled proudly.“Will the tattoos show when we shift?” Night asked.“It’ll look better,” Zalarus replied with confidence.“Really? Kyson, let me take over. I wanna shift!” Night’s excited voice sounded, and he tried to push me away. I let him, and a few seconds later, he shifted.He stood there watching his reflection. Even I thought Night’s Lycan form indeed looked cooler. The black tattoos on Night’s dark
••• Aleena’s POV •••It’d been a few days since we were back at our old packs. I was nervous about how to tell my pack members about me being the next Alpha Queen.So now, I was in my study with Kyson, Colton, Lucas, Beta Greg, and Gamma Luis.“Beta Greg, Gamma Luis. There’s something I need to tell you,” I began. “My parents... My biological parents... They are alive.”“That’s great news, Alpha,” Greg and Luis said simultaneously. “You found them when you went to Solaris? Are they members of the Night Shade Pack?” Greg asked.I had no choice but to tell my Beta and Gamma where we went and what happened when they saw the changes in Kyson’s appearance, but not about me being the daughter of the Alpha King and Luna, aka Witch Lily.“Ummm… My Dad is Alpha Zane,” I told them shyly.The excitement on Greg’s and Luis’ faces changed into blank looks.“Aleena, can you repeat it again?” Greg said.“Alpha,” Kyson growled.“Sorry. Alpha Aleena, can you repeat what you said?” Greg said again.“M
••• Aleena’s POV •••“Alpha,” a passerby greeted me as Kyson and I were walking around Solaris.“Luna,” the same passerby greeted Kyson.Both Kyson and I gave him a smile and a brief nod.It had been two years since we moved to Solaris, and three months after I was crowned as the Alpha Queen.During the first month after Dad retired and I officially became the Alpha Queen, I got a lot of challenges from Alphas all around the world. They couldn’t believe that Dad passed the title to me instead of to Colton. Thus, they purposely challenged me to gauge my strength. They didn't know that I was a Lycanthrope and had magical abilities.When they witnessed my strength and lost to me, they immediately accepted me as their Alpha Queen, and soon the news of me being a Lycanthrope with magical abilities spread across all the werewolves population, and since then, no one dared to challenge me anymore.“You are now used to being called ‘Luna’,” I told Kyson with a teasing smile.“What can I do? Y
••• Colton’s POV •••“Fuck, yes, right there! Right there! Don't stop, Lucas!” I groaned as my mate was thrusting into me from behind.“Did I just hit your sweet spot?” he smirked.I really wanted to glare and smack this mate of mine for stating the obvious, but then he withdrew and slammed hard into me again, and all my fusses were gone into thin air.My arse was up in the air, and my upper body was down on the bed - that was his favorite position since I became pregnant.“Lucas, my cock.” I couldn't move my hands as he was pinning them above my head.“Your cock?” he took one of his hands away, yet the other still gripped my wrists and circled it around the head of my cock. I groaned as his thumb rubbed the tip of my erection.“Look how much you are leaking,” he smirked proudly as he bought his thumb that was wet and listening with my precum to my mouth.I opened my mouth and sucked it greedily.“Greedy little mate,” he chuckled as he kept thrusting hard into me.I kept moaning and g
••• Lucas’ POV •••I glanced toward my mate, who was sitting in the passenger seat of my car, as I drove toward Night Shade Pack.He was munching an apple and looking so damn cute. Who would have thought I would have a male as a mate and an Alpha at that?Never once in my life had I ever thought about having a man as a mate, but when I first saw him, my wolf and I went crazy at the sight and scent of him. If there was no one there at the time, we would have claimed and marked him right there and then. But he had the audacity to reject me. Fortunately, my body moved on its own to stop his rejection in time, or else I didn’t know what would happen.Did I ever regret accepting him as my mate despite him being male? Hell no! I loved him so much despite him being quite childish. But then he was the only one who could make me feel so patient, and I wanted to spoil him to no end, no matter how silly he was.The light turned red, and I took the chance to lean toward my mate.He stopped eatin
