Chapter 31 – I’m Your Alpha
••• Kyson’s POV •••
“Is this the last group?” I asked my Beta, Liam. We had begun preparing for our war with Andre and his cronies.
Witch Lily had started to show my pack members the truth of what really happened before the great war between the werewolves and the Lycanthropes, the real cause behind it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
It was not a short process. We had to show them group by group so as not to rouse chaos among the pack members. Both Betas and Gammas would always be present during this process to help if any members couldn’t take the real truth. Lucas and Colton were also present today to show the pack members our unification.
“Yes, this is the last group, Alpha,” Liam said.
“Alright. Go ahead and show them the real face of that motherfucker Andre,” I told him and took a few steps back.
Liam stepped forward and looked at the confused group of pack members in front of us.
“As you all know, we’ve been training you harder than before. The reason behind this is…” he stopped for a while as he scanned the pack members to show them how serious this matter was before continuing, “We are soon to be in a war with Andre.”
Once he had finished speaking, the usual happened – the group fell into silence before the roar of their voices was heard. I knew what they were thinking.
“But… Why, Alpha?” One of the pack members asked Liam.
“Because of the truth,” Liam answered him.
“The truth?” I could hear the confusion among them.
“I’ll let Witch Lily show you all.” Liam stepped back, and Witch Lily stepped forward, taking his place.
Witch Lily twirled her witch’s staff with her hands and began chanting a spell, and soon, a yellow light shone and blanketed the whole group.
I shut my eyes, clenched my hands, and gritted my teeth as the memory of when Witch Lily showed me the real truth came back to me. It was on my tenth birthday.
My adopted parents, the Alpha and Luna of the Crimson Blood Pack, had always told me that the Lycans weren’t at fault for the great war, but when I saw the truth, rage coursed through my whole body, and since then, my hatred toward that fucking piece of shit Andre only grew stronger.
I opened my eyes as I looked over the pack members in front of me. Their eyes were unfocused, and they were in a daze as the memory flooded their minds.
The process lasted for more than fifteen minutes. So far, none of the pack members from the groups before them had caused us any trouble after knowing the truth. None has betrayed us, and none had difficulties in believing Witch Lily.
I watched as the yellow light dimmed and disappeared, and the eyes of the pack members refocused.
“What… was that?” One of them asked in disbelief.
“That was the truth, the cause of the great war,” Liam answered.
“Alpha Andre and Luna Rose really did… THAT?!” I heard a few of them ask in shock.
“Does any of you doubt Witch Lily’s power?” Liam asked the group, and they all fell silent. Liam’s question wasn’t a question, per se. It was more of giving them a chance to leave the pack on their own if they didn’t believe what they just saw.
I stepped forward, looked at them, and began shifting. No one had seen my Lycan’s form yet except if they had already known the truth. I had always kept to myself, and for all they knew, I was wolfless, never practiced or trained with them, and never ran with them.
When I finished shifting, I heard their loud collective gasps. “Beta Kyson is a… a Lycan?”
“I’m your Alpha.” I released my full Alpha aura, and they looked down in submission.
“What Witch Lily showed you all just now is the truth. I am the last Lycan in existence, and I’m going to take my revenge,” I told them in my Alpha tone.
I could practically smell their fear after I said those words. They were afraid of Andre.
“Andre has the Silver Moon Pack and the Glowing Stone Pack behind him, but we also have allies. Alpha Lucas of the Spirit Shadow Pack will work with us, as does his mate, Alpha Colton of the Rogue.” I gestured to the two lovebirds who were holding hands behind me.
Another collective whisper was heard from the crowd. They must have had the biggest shock of their life today. From learning the truth and having a Lycan as an Alpha to hearing that the rogues had an Alpha.
“I am giving a chance to anyone who doesn’t want to be involved in the upcoming war to speak up now.” My Lycan’s eyes swept across the group to show them the seriousness of my words, and as expected, no one spoke.
I shifted back to my human form, put on my pants, and turned to look at them again. “Feel free to ask the Betas and Gammas if you have any questions.”
After saying that sentence, I left with Lucas and Colton, leaving my Betas and Gammas to deal with the group.
“They must be shocked!” Colton spoke in his usual cheerful tone.
“They still don’t know that Aleena is your mate?” Lucas asked at the same time.
“Not yet. I haven’t personally introduced her.” I chose to answer Lucas’s question.
“Does Aleena know the truth?” Lucas asked as we walked back toward the pack’s main house.
“I told her that it wasn’t the Lycanthropes’ fault, but it was, in fact, Andre’s,” I told them.
“You talked to her!” Colton seemed happy that I’d finally talked to Aleena.
“Yeah,” I said simply.
“She must be on our side, right? She’s still here, so she must want to take revenge too!” Colton started to become excited.
“Why are you so happy and excited that she’s on our side?” I asked.
“The girl in the prophecy siding with us is indeed a happy thing,” Lucas answered for his mate.
I rolled my eyes at them and saw their marks on the other’s neck.
“So you finally become a Luna,” I smirked at Colton.
“I’m… I’m not!” Colton shouted with embarrassment.
“You’ve marked each other. You are his Luna,” I kept smirking at him.
“I’m not! I’m the Alpha. Tell him, Lucas!” he turned to Lucas and pointed his finger at me.
“Alright… Alright. I’m the Luna. You’re the Alpha, just like you said,” Lucas told Colton affectionately.
I nearly tripped on my own foot. Lucas, the giant, scary, and bossy Alpha, is indulging his mate? This is not something you’ll see every day… Or will it?
“You should be like Lucas to our mate, too,” Night chimed in. I should indulge and be gentle to our mate? Dream on, I snorted.
“You have such a huge ego,” Night grumbled.
“I have you to do it,” I pointed out. I do not think I can act that gently; it’s not in my blood. Furthermore, Aleena likes me the way I am.
“Hear that, Kyson? I’m the Alpha.” Colton smiled smugly.
This Alpha is really childish…
“By the way, how come Witch Lily didn’t show Aleena the truth?” Lucas asked.
“Witch Lily said she can’t do it. Aleena’s mind is protected by Witch Rose,” I explained.
“Witch Rose seems to be much stronger than Witch Lily,” Lucas said, and we all fell silent.
If that’s the case, then Aleena might have difficulties killing Witch Rose.
“But she’s able to get away from Witch Rose. Might not be as weak as we thought,” Colton said cheerfully. He always had a positive attitude about everything.
“Kyson, let’s spar,” suddenly Lucas spoke.
Spar? I raised an eyebrow at him.
“You hurt my mate last time,” he shrugged as if sparring with me all of a sudden was a daily thing to do.
“Lucas will fight you for ME!” Colton said in a smug and arrogant way while pointing at his own chest.
“You asked him to?” I was surprised that Colton would ask Lucas to fight for him.
“No, he thought about it himself. That’s why I love him,” Colton said still smugly.
“So the ruthless Alpha Colton has fallen in love and become a Luna,” I smirked.
“No… No! I told you I’m not a Luna!” he yelled with a red face, and Lucas and I laughed at him.
“Let’s wait until you get pregnant with his pups, then tell me you are not a Luna,” I kept smirking at him.
“You! Lucas, see. He’s bullying me!” Colton turned toward Lucas and whined like a girl.
What the heck… He changed so much. I never expected Colton to behave that way. I couldn’t control my laughter anymore, and I laughed until my stomach hurt.
“Alright. Let’s spar.” I changed course and headed toward my personal training ground.
Checking the time, it was time for Aleena to have breakfast. She was still asleep when I last checked. She should be awake right now.
“Aleena?” I mindlinked her, and there was no answer.
“Night, try checking on Celia,” I asked Night to mindlinked Celia.
“Aleena is still sleeping,” Night replied after some time.
“Ask Celia to tell Aleena to come to the training ground when she’s awake and has eaten her breakfast,” I told Night.
We reached the training ground, and Lucas and I faced each other.
“Go, Lucas! Kick his ass!” Colton cheered for his mate.
“Like he can.” I moved swiftly and kicked his right side, sending him a meter away from his initial position.
“Not bad, Lucas.” He was able to block my surprise attack.
“Kyson, you stupid cheat! I haven’t even told you guys to start!” Colton yelled, defending his mate.
Seriously?
I rolled my eyes at him. “Okay, then. I’ll wait until you say start.”
Lucas dusted his body and walked toward me again.
We took our stances, waiting for that ridiculous Alpha of the rouge to say start.
“Start!” he yelled, and both Lucas and I moved swiftly, attacking each other.
