••• Kyson’s POV •••Looking at our mate, Night and I couldn't help but be amazed.“Cool?” she asked.“More than cool.” She was amazing. Those whips looked kinda like Medusa’s snakes, hanging in the air, ready to strike any moment.“Are they really made of water?” Night asked.I stepped toward one of the whips and poked it with my finger, ensuring that it was indeed made from water.“I can attack you with them at the same time,” Aleena said smugly.For real? How would those whips harm me if my finger could go through it? Even though the ends of the whips were shaped like spears, would they really be able to hurt me?I walked back to my original spot and hooked my fingers, signaling her to attack.“Wait, let's not use the protective spell,” I said before she could attack me. There was no point in using the protective spell if I really wanted to see her strength.“But you might get injured.” How cute; she was reluctant to hurt me.“It’ll be good practice for me too. Rose will surely use

••• Kyson’s POV •••“Kyson, you’ve been so busy with Aleena; the business is going to suffer if you keep going like this,” Liam teased as he handed me a stack of documents.I rolled my eyes at him. “What do I need you for, then?” I appointed him as my Alpha stand-in while I kept busy with the plans to attack Andre. Everyone knew him as the Alpha of the Crimson Blood Pack, even though I was still the one making some major business decisions.“You’re right. Now our plans are as good as completed. When are we gonna carry it out?” Liam was calm, yet the vicious eagerness I felt when I thought of killing Andre was evident in his aura too.“Soon.. Very soon..” His enthusiasm was rubbing on me too. How I wished I could teleport to that motherfucker Andre’s pack right now and tear his limbs away, but I still needed to wait for Aleena to be ready. Once she mastered her elemental magic and was confident about it, then we’d attack. About her bloodlust.. It might be good for her not to be able t

••• Aleena’s POV •••When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in the Black Heart Pack’s dungeon anymore.Instead, I was in Andre’s study, but it looked.. different than the last time I was there. It didn't look as grand. Andre was sitting in his usual chair behind the desk while Rose was standing beside him.Did they move me here? “Andre, I saw a vision where you’ll be killed by a Lycanthrope,” Rose told Andre. What does Rose mean that Andre will be killed by a Lycan? Do they know Andre'll be killed by Kyson? Have they found out about Kyson’s plan to wage a war with them? Somehow a surge of pride coursed through my body when I thought of my mate killing him. Serves you right for being heartless!“And you’ll be killed by me!” I said smugly at Rose, but she ignored me. No, it was more like she couldn't hear me. How dare she ignore me! I reached out to grab her shoulder, only to realize that my hand went straight through her shoulder. I was aghast. Have I died and become a ghost?What is happen

••• Aleena’s POV •••As my surroundings changed again, I wiped my tears. I was heartbroken for my dad and mom but could do nothing about it. Instead, I looked around to see what Rose and Andre wanted me to see.I was in a chamber with so many babies, and most of them were crying. This scene felt familiar. Suddenly I felt the uneasiness I had experienced before. It was when I couldn't remember my dreams but only remembered the cries of babies. Did I dream about this scene? Why would I dream about this?I walked around and saw more than half of the babies were not breathing anymore. I gasped. They were only skin and bones and black in color, as if their souls had been sucked out of them. Who.. Who would do this to innocent babies? This is inhumane!Is this what really happened to the newborn werewolves in the history where they said the Lycanthropes kidnapped them and caused the great war between werewolves and Lycanthropes? But Andre had ensured all the Lycanthropes were killed.. excep

••• Aleena’s POV •••My eyes widened in disbelief, and my heart seemed to stop beating. It can't be.. My hand moved automatically to touch the side of my neck.“Look at the mark on her neck,” Rose said proudly and pointed to baby me.“What about it?” Andre asked in confusion.“That mark belongs to the Lycan. It will appear when he marks his mate,” Rose explained, still with a proud smile on her face.No, it can't be.. How could it be.. But that mark.. The mark on baby me was the same as Kyson’s mark on my neck - Night’s head with their initials. How could it be? How was Rose successfully creating a fake mate bond and defying the Moon Goddess’ wish?Am I really not Kyson’s destined mate? Is everything really a lie? My feelings.. His feelings.. Is everything really just an illusion created by Rose’s ancient dark magic?“Is that true?” Andre asked with doubt and suspicion.“You can see it for yourself. The Mark will disappear in a while and will reappear when he marks her. Coincidentally,
