I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Lucas’ POV •••

I felt my mate’s emotions going haywired. He was furious as he looked at the condition of the rogue she-wolf.

Even I felt angry with whoever treated this she-wolf until she looked like a stick.

Everyone present knew how much he cared for rogues, but this was not the time for him to get angry. He was pregnant, for Goddess’ sake! He needed to keep his emotions under control!

I kept my hold on my mate’s hand and kept mind linking him to calm down. I reminded him that he was pregnant and that fluctuation of emotions could harm himself and the babies in his belly.

My warning seemed to fall on deaf ears as his body trembled from his rage. I quickly changed my tactic and told him that his anger would frighten the rogue she-wolf, and those words worked in calming him down.

The rogue she-wolf, Ada, seemed to have gone through terrible things. She got frightened easily. And from her words, she was fed stale food or simply starved other than being raped and abused. It wasn’t a wonder that her mental condition was not good.

She was also reluctant to tell us who was behind her slavery. Could it be someone powerful? Someone the Night Shade Pack couldn’t afford to offend? But no one was brave enough to go head-to-head with the Night Shade Pack. So, who could it be?

“Can you tell us how you came into Solaris?” Aleena asked, and I saw Ada’s nervousness and fear disappear.

“Some of us tried to escape, but the rest was caught. I was the only one lucky enough to be able to escape. I walked aimlessly for days and hid in the forest. And I guessed you found me there,” Ada said.

“You are very brave, Ada. You were severely injured, yet you tried your hardest to survive,” Aleena praised her gently.

“How many of you were there?” Kyson asked.

“Around a hundred,” Ada said in a small voice and looked down at her hands.

Around a hundred? They enslaved a hundred rogues? That was too much!

Colton’s body began trembling again, and I felt his rage combining with mine.

Kyson looked at me, and I understood the meaning of his look.

“Colton, let’s go back first. Let Aleena and Kyson deal with this,” I told my mate. If he kept listening to this conversation, we were afraid he wouldn’t be able to control his anger.

“This is about the rogues. Don’t ask me to go away,” he hissed.

“Alright. But please remember to control your rage. Remember that you are pregnant,” I gave up on persuading him to leave and could only remind him of his condition again.

He nodded stiffly and kept his eyes locked on Ada.

“Can you tell us who did this to you,” Aleena asked softly.

Ada’s demeanor changed. Her face became pale again, and her body trembled because of her fear.

“Ada, we are here to help you and your friends who are still captured. I know it must be hard for you to say the name, but if you don’t let us know, we won’t be able to help you and your friends,” Aleena persuaded her in a soft and gentle voice.

“If… If I tell you, can you promise to protect me?” Ada asked timidly.

“Ada, you are now in the Night Shade Pack, the strongest pack in the world. And Aleena is the Alpha Queen. No one is stronger than her. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. We promise we’ll protect you,” Kyson said firmly.

Ada looked at each of us and must have seen that we were all on her side and trying to help her.

Her hands that were clenching the blanket tightly loosened up, and her body began to relax.

“It’s… It’s the… It’s the Reckless Banes Pack,” Ada said, and she became fearful once again.

“The Reckless Banes Pack?” Aleena was shocked to hear that. Heck, everyone was shocked to hear that pack’s name coming from Ada’s mouth.

“Were the pack members who enslaved the rogues?” Aleena asked.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Ada shook her head. “No… It’s the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, warriors, and guards.”

The room fell into silence. Dammit, this is indeed troublesome. It’s going to be tricky saving all the rogues if the Reckless Banes Pack is involved.

Can you… Can you help them?” Ada broke the silence and asked nervously. She should be feeling the same way as us. She should know it was gonna be difficult for us to save her friends.

“Don’t worry, Ada. We’ll find a way to save your friends,” Aleena smiled convincingly.

Aleena and Ada chatted for a while before we decided to leave and let Ada rest.

“Let’s go back to the study,” Kyson said once we stepped outside Ada’s ward.

We walked back to Aleena’s study, and no one said anything for some time. We were immersed in our own thoughts.

“The Reckless Banes Pack..” Aleena said and sighed.

“And it’s the important members who enslaved the rogues,” Kyson added.

“Fuck them! We have to save those rogues no matter what!” my mate suddenly yelled.

“We know, Colton. But it’s not going to be easy. We have to think about this carefully,” Kyson told my mate.

“If you don’t have the guts to face the Reckless Banes Pack, I’ll save them myself!” Colton said through gritted teeth.

“Colton Bell!” Aleena suddenly glared at my mate, and her Alpha aura rolled off in waves, making Colton stagger back. Even I, as an Alpha, and Kyson, as her mate and also an Alpha Lycanthrope, felt threatened by her powerful aura and nearly submitted to her.

Colton knew Aleena was angered by his words. She only called his full name whenever she was angry with him.

“Sister… I just want to save them,” Colton said weakly.

Aleena reined in her Alpha aura and sighed. “We know, Brother. But we can’t be reckless. This involves Alpha Tobias and his pack.”

The Reckless Banes Pack had a very close friendship with the Night Shade Pack. Alpha Tobias was a close friend of the previous Alpha King, Alpha Zane, aka Aleena’s and Colton’s father.

“For now, we could only send spies to check Ada’s story,” Kyson said.

“Kyson! How can you think Ada is lying?!” Colton yelled again.

“Colton, if you can’t keep your emotions in check, it’s best for us not to involve you,” Kyson said coldly.

The atmosphere became cold after Kyson said his mind, and my mate’s body began trembling again. I caught his hand before he could make a move he would regret.

“Brother, it’s not that we don’t believe her. But we have to make sure that the slaves are indeed at the Reckless Banes Pack. We can’t be sure they keep them in the pack, can we?” Aleena said hurriedly before Kyson and Colton threw punches at each other.

Aleena’s words seemed to relax Colton as his body stopped trembling and his anger dissipated.

“You are right, Sister. Sorry for losing control of my emotions,” Colton apologized guiltily.

“It’s fine, Brother. I know how much rogues mean to you,” Aleena said and gave him a gentle, understanding smile.

“So we need to spy on them, right?” Colton asked.

“Yes,” Aleena nodded.

“Leave it to me. My pack members used to do it when they spied on the Black Heart Pack. They are the best at it,” Colton said.

Aleena looked at Kyson to seek his approval. Kyson nodded, indicating he agreed with Colton, but added, “We’ll send spies from the Night Shade Pack and the Crimson Blood Pack as well.”

I agreed with them. This matter would implicate our three packs, and it would be best if we joined forces from the start.

“Alright. Then it’s decided, and this matter is settled for now,” Aleena said.

“Lucas, you will take Ada as your member?” Kyson suddenly threw me a question.

“Of course, we’ll take her,” Colton said without hesitation before I could answer.

I sighed helplessly. This mate of mine sometimes didn’t ask for my opinion and decided things for the pack as if he were the Alpha.

Not that I minded Ada joining us, but it was somewhat embarrassing for my Luna to decide things without asking me, the Alpha. I should have the most power in my pack, yet my Luna didn’t care to save my face in front of others.

I must’ve spoiled him too much. But guessed what? I didn’t fucking mind that he did that. I loved him and would give him anything he wanted as long as it didn’t endanger the pack.

“Alright. Go back now and bring the spies from your pack. We’ll let them meet our spies and tell them what they need to do and look out for,” Kyson said.

We all agreed with his suggestion, and Colton and I drove back to our pack.

“Lucas, how many spies should we send?” Colton asked as I was driving back.

“Two should be enough,” I told him after thinking about it.

“Two? Isn’t it too little?” he said.

“The Night Shade Pack and the Crimson Blood Pack will be involved, too,” I reminded him. “If there are too many spies, the Reckless Banes Pack will be alerted,” I told him.

“Okay. I know who to send,” he said.

I kept quiet, not even asking him who he chose as spies because I trusted him so damn much.
