Chapter 33 – She’s Amazing
••• Kyson’s POV •••
“Kyson, don’t you notice?” Night asked.
“Yeah, I noticed it.” It looked like there was something helping Lucas. My attacks couldn’t even hit his body.
Could it be…
I glanced at our mate from the corner of my eyes. She was moving her hands around as if she was the one blocking the attacks.
Naughty little mate… I smirked.
“She’s able to manipulate Witch Lily’s protective spells?” Night asked in disbelief and wonder.
“It seems like it.” I continued attacking Lucas, and they were all stopped just a few inches away from him until suddenly, I managed to hit him.
I took a quick glance at our mate again and saw her talking with Witch Lily.
“Aleena, concentrate!” I mindlinked her to make sure that it was really her doing.
She turned her attention back to us, and I began attacking Lucas earnestly while she moved her hands again, and the same thing happened. It felt like I was hitting an invisible shield.
I looked at Lucas and gestured for him to stop, and he nodded in understanding. We walked toward Aleena, with Colton joining us.
“It really was you.” I sat beside her and looked at her in amazement.
“What do you mean?” Colton asked in confusion.
“Didn’t you see Kyson’s attacks being stopped mere inches from my body?” Lucas directed his question at Colton.
“I saw, but I thought it was Witch Lily’s doing. It was Aleena?” Colton’s eyes went wide, and he became slacked jaw.
“Try it again. I wanna see more!” Colton was so excited at the thought that he was jumping in his spot.
I looked at Aleena, who was laughing. “Okay,” she agreed with Colton’s demand.
Lucas and I went back to the training ring and began sparring again. I kept my gaze locked on our mate from the corner of my eyes.
She stretched her hands out, and suddenly, a bright light burst out from her palms. It was so blinding that Lucas and I had to stop sparring and shield our eyes with our arms.
“Please continue, Alphas,” Witch Lily said, and I delivered a straight punch to Lucas’ face, only for it to stop just a few inches from his face.
“Lucas, try hitting me,” I told my sparring partner as a thought occurred to me.
Lucas went straight for my face, and the same thing happened.
“Again.” I stood still while looking at our mate, not caring about Lucas’ attacks. Aleena didn’t move her hands, but not surprisingly, Lucas’ attacks were stopped in the same way.
“She’s able to control the protective spells Witch Lily put on both of us.” I could hear the astonishment in Lucas’ voice.
We walked back to Aleena, and Colton was even more restlessly happy now. He couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Kyson, hit me. Hit me. I wanna know if I have a protective spell on me, too.” He gestured with both hands for me to attack him.
I rolled my eyes at him, yet I still threw a punch straight at his face. As we had expected, my punch couldn’t reach him; it hit the invisible barrier instead.
Colton waved his hands around, trying to touch the protective spell with a huge grin plastered on his face like a kid who had just gotten candies.
“Is there any way I can see and touch it?” Colton asked, still with the same excitement.
I caught Witch Lily’s smile before there was a light coming from her staff.
“They were balls?” Colton squealed.
I looked at Colton and saw three small glowing balls floating around him – One in front, two at each side of his body.
I threw another punch at his face, and at the same time, Lucas threw a punch at his back. Before my punch hit him, the ball in front of him moved upward toward his face, successfully blocking my attack.
So they were balls, not a thin layer of protection…
“You don’t have to use your hands anymore?” I noticed she didn’t wave her hands around after the blinding light burst out from her palms. I looked at her, and it turned out the light came from the ball hanging above her head.
“No, I transferred my energy, and they moved automatically to block each attack every time you are about to get hit,” she explained with a proud smile.
“She’s amazing,” Night gushed out.
She was. Her power was way more than I expected. She didn’t even need training; it came to her naturally.
“Is there anything else you can do, Aleena?” I turned to look at our mate, who was smiling joyfully.
“Umm… I’m not sure. I haven’t tried anything yet,” she furrowed her eyebrows, thinking about my words.
“What about the elements of nature?” I turned toward Witch Lily, directing my question at her, wanting to know about the significance of Aleena’s birthmark.
Witch Lily was quiet for some time before she spoke in her soft voice, “Aleena, try to move the small rocks around us.”
Colton looked at Aleena expectantly while Lucas and I were more patient.
Aleena looked down and concentrated on a small rock on the ground in front of her. She waved her hand, but nothing happened. She tried again, and still, nothing happened.
“I can’t do it,” she sighed dejectedly.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m sure you will be able to do it with the help of Witch Lily.” I patted her head to console her.
Her eyes lighted up at the mention of Witch Lily. “Witch Lily, can you train me to use my power?”
Witch Lily just smiled softly and nodded her head.
“Yay!” Aleena jumped in excitement with a wide smile. She looked so cute that I grabbed and kissed her hard, ignoring all the other people present.
“Get a room, guys,” I heard Colton groan, and I was 100% sure he was rolling his eyes at us.
“Kyson…” Aleena whispered and buried her face in the crook of my neck.
“You are my mate. I can kiss you anytime and anywhere I want to,” I smirked, looking at her hiding her face due to embarrassment.
“Hey, Witch Lily, why is Kyson’s protective spell red?” I heard Colton ask.
His question caught our attention. I hadn’t noticed it, but now I could see what he was talking about.
Lucas and Colton had a yellow glow, but mine was red… fiery red.
“They changed color?” Even Aleena was surprised by it. “They were the same color as the ones on Alpha Lucas and Colton before.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“I’m not sure about it. It changed to red when Aleena used her power,” Witch Lily’s voice was barely a whisper. It seemed pointless to ask her about it.
“Can you control the other pack members’ protective spells too?” I asked my mate.
“She has to transfer her energy first,” Witch Lily answered, still in her barely-a-whisper voice.
“Will it be dangerous for her?” I was concerned that she would drain her energy if she kept transferring it to other members, especially since Lucas’ and Colton’s pack members would be joining us, too.
“At first, yes. Her energy would be depleted when she transferred that much amount of energy,” Witch Lily looked at Aleena intently as if she was thinking of something else.
I pondered about it for a while. “We can do it, group by group, like when we showed them the truth.” I wouldn’t want her to tire or, worse, faint when she was transferring her energy. A small group of pack members per transfer should be the perfect solution.
“Truth? What truth?” Aleena looked confused.
“That Andre was the at fault for the extinction of the Lycan’s population,” Colton said dryly.
“Ohh.” Aleena nodded. It kinda surprised me that she didn’t ask too much about it.
“She trusts you; that’s why she didn’t ask further,” Night said to me. His words tickled my heart.
“Happy? You should be. I’m happy that she trusts you. She’s gonna fall in love with you soon,” Night sighed happily.
Love… Something that I dared not think about before. My mind was too full of revenge before I met Aleena. It was always cold, yet Aleena brought warmth to it. Maybe it was time for me to think about love.
“Aleena, you are amazing! We can surely win if you can control the protective spells on all our allies!” Colton’s voice shattered my thoughts about love.
He was so thrilled by the idea that he literally jumped toward my mate with open arms.
Lucas and I growled, knowing what he was about to do. He was too friendly to be around Aleena; I felt like tearing his arms away whenever he wanted to hug Aleena.
Pulling Aleena’s hand, I held her next to me as I glared at Colton, wishing my look could kill him. He simply has no boundaries!
Lucas pulled Colton behind him, sheltering Colton from my vicious glare. I rolled my eyes at him. Not like I’m gonna kill Colton; he makes a great ally with his uncontrollable bloodlust.
“You can’t touch me anymore, Colton. My mate will kill you,” Colton peeled from behind Lucas and smiled smugly.
I ignored him, not wanting to banter childishly when there were more important things to think about.
“Aleena, there will be a full moon in less than two weeks. We should train you to strengthen your body for your first shift,” I told my mate.
“You and Witch Lily also need to activate our pack members’ protective spells before activating Lucas’s and Colton’s packs.” I still needed to show them the truth before Aleena could activate their protective spells.
“She always needs to train with me,” Witch Lily added.
I let out a heavy sigh. My mate needed to do so many things, and it worried me. “Aleena, if it is too much, just tell me. We’ll think of other solutions for how best to do everything.”
“No, I can do it. I will do it,” she said with the determination I’d come to love.
“Imagine how much more amazing you’ll be! With you and Witch Lily on our side, we’ll surely crush Andre!” Colton’s bloodlust started seeping out, and his smile turned wicked.
We couldn’t wait for Aleena to unleash all her potential and for the war to come.
Enjoy your remaining days now, Andre. Your time will end soon…
