I Am The Lycan's Luna

What will you do when you find out that everything you knew about your life was a big fat lie?

That is what's happening to me.

These are all the things they told me I was:

1. The Alpha of the Black Heart Pack's daughter - LIE!

2. Wolfless - LIE!

3. Tried to seduce the Beta - LIE!

4. Weak - LIE!

5. A Rogue - LIE!

6. My mom was killed by the rogues - LIE!

Which brought us to the last point: that I was a traitor for knowing that I was a rogue taken in by my mother, the Luna of the pack, and passed off as point no.1 (Which I swear I knew nothing of!)

LIES! LIES LIES! Everything was just BULLSHIT!

My life was basically full of LIES!!! Nothing I've ever known was true, not even one bit of it. Even the existence of my life seemed like a lie.

Ever since I was born, I was just a pawn for them to become the strongest. Scratch that - I was THE plan for them to become the strongest - not their pawn, nor their tool. For so long, they had been the strongest, yet there was only one person who could destroy them, and they made me their killing weapon.

Yeah, they had a good life.. That was until they banished me, then took me by force to return and shocked my wolf ass with the information they were giving me - information about ME that I never knew (which is why I stated that my life so far had been a big fat joke).

And all these lies embedded in me were brought to you byyyyy *drumroll please*... Yup, some of you might have guessed it right - the prophecy of a Witch!! (Yay to those who had guessed right!!!!)

The Moon Goddess did visit me once, and I did ask her about it. What should I do now that I knew I was just a killing machine to end my mate's life? She only had three words for me: Follow Your Heart.

My heart? How could I follow my heart when everything I knew all this time was lies? Such an easy thing to say, but a hard thing to do. She must feel like joking with me and I would have laughed if not for the dire situation we were in.

But it is inevitable with the battle nearing.. Tonight, I would have to choose my side - the Black Heart Pack or my mate, Kyson.

Oh, Kyson, I do love you so much. But how could I tell if what we have was just all part of the lies? Just all part of the plans they had set for me.. and you?

So tonight, it all comes down to these two difficult choices - a love that may be fakely embedded.. or a mission that had been planted ever since I was born.

Will you comrades believe in me, Kyson? Will YOU believe in me? Will I believe in myself to do the right thing? Will I still be with you after these all end, Kyson? Will I be the Lycan's Luna that I've been all the time I was here?

"Aleena, come to my study now," I heard Alpha Andre's voice through the mind-link.

"I need to go meet the Alpha now," I told my friend and waved goodbye at her as she nodded in understanding.

I walked fast, changing course from the ballroom toward the Alpha's study- more like rushing to. No one liked to keep the Alpha waiting after being summoned.

Reaching the study's door, I heard hushed voices of people inside, so I decided to knock, then I heard the Alpha asking me to wait for a while before I heard shuffling sounds of papers being hidden.

I couldn't care less about it, it wasn't my place to ask about the pack's matters.

"Come in," the Alpha's voice sounded from inside the room, and I reached for the doorknob to open it.

Opening the door, I saw the Alpha seated on his usual chair behind his desk, with Luna Rose on his right, and Beta Erick on his left.

Beta Erick then nodded to me in acknowledgment before passing me by to exit the room.

"Is there something wrong, Alpha?" I asked with my head down as a sign of respect and submission.

He barked out a laugh before saying, "You know you don't have to stand on ceremony when we are in private, Aleena. You are my daughter, after all."

My body relaxed at his words, and I lifted my head to see him.

"Father," I greeted him with a grin.

He stood up to his full height, and I involuntarily stepped back. Standing all tanned and bulky at 6 feet 5 inches, everyone would be intimidated by him, and I, as his daughter, was no exception.

"Still scared of your own father, huh?" he joked before coming to stand in front of me.

"Who wouldn't?" I countered back, and we laughed at our banter.

"Come give your old man a hug," he said with a silly grin on his face, and I gladly stepped into his arms.

We kinda looked like a giant and a dwarf. He was big while I was.. well.. tiny. I was even tinier than other she-wolves I'd ever met. No matter how much I ate or exercised, my body seemed to not be able to grow. You could mistake me for a 15-year-old female if not for my womanly curve - big breasts, tiny waist, and wide hips.

But I was so fortunate to have a father like Alpha Andre. He spoilt me rotten - giving me anything that I wanted, and was very affectionate in a fatherly way.

And all that despite my one biggest weakness. I had no wolf. Yup, you read it correctly - I'm wolfless. I had never heard any wolf voice in my head, and I was nearing 18 years old now.

With the way my body had stopped growing, wolfless and not even being able to cure any wounds, no matter how small it was, I believed there was something wrong with me. I might even believe if some people said I was a human instead of a she-wolf.

But in reality, I was still a she-wolf, albeit minus all the abilities a werewolf should have.. Except for mind-linking, I could do nothing else.

"Come sit with me, Aleena," suddenly, I heard Luna Rose's voice coming from the couch area.

I turned my head toward her and back toward my father, who nodded. I then strode to sit beside the Luna while my father sat on the single couch, which seemed to be too small for him and creaked under his weight.

"Have you thought about what you are going to do after graduation, Aleena?" I heard Luna Rose asking me.

Contrary to popular belief, despite being human-like, I was not shunned by my pack. My father doted on me while Luna Rose, his chosen mate after my mother, the rightful Luna, passed away, was polite to me. Everyone else in the pack was also polite toward me, although I knew it was because I was the Alpha's daughter. If I wasn't, I might have been treated differently, but I loved them for not shunning me for whatever reasons.

And also, my father and the Luna allowed me to be human. As in, doing all the human stuff except that I had to stay in the pack's ground, train, and attend school there. After high school, I was free to do whatever I wanted to do. Thank Goddess for that!

"Umm.. I'm still not sure about it, but I'd like something to do with the environment. So I might take a major along that line," I replied Luna Rose after thinking for some time.

"You DO always love nature. Sand, water, wind, even fire. I had to keep my eyes on you most of the time when you were little, in case you burned down the pack." Alpha Andre's barked out a laugh again while still sitting on that too-small couch which I feared might break at any moment.

I laughed at his words. I did love nature since I was just a little child. You would always find me dirty with mud, wet with water or even playing with fire. I was such a nature girl.

"Alright then, just tell us once you have decided on what you will do and where you will go. You can go and do your duty now," my father said and dismissed me with a wave, going into Alpha-mode again.

I stood up and nodded respectfully at him to bid him goodbye. "Alpha," before I then turned to the Luna to do the same, "Luna."

She nodded to me in return, and I left the room to go to the ballroom.

In all honesty, I couldn't wait to graduate and explore the human world, and lived with them. I wouldn't have to train or do werewolves stuff, just be an average adult female, and maybe find love the way humans did.

The current Luna, Luna Rose, was a witch. She predicted that I might not have a mate since I was a singularity amongst the werewolves population. But even if I had a mate, I was sure that he would reject me for being the way that I was.

I let out a hopeless sigh. That thought would always sadden me. How I wished I was a normal she-wolf. I should have even wished to be a strong Alpha she-wolf since I was the Alpha's child, but sadly, the reality was not as great as expected.

Just as I was thinking all that, I felt someone bump into me, and my lips curled into a smile. I didn't have to see who it was, I knew him - Greg.

"Where have you been?" he asked as he ruffled my hair.

"I know I'm small, but don't treat me like a child!" I huffed out and ran my fingers through my hair to tidy it out.

Greg was the same age as me, we were actually born on the same day. We had always done everything together. He was my best friend and my secret crush. I had always hoped that even though we were not destined mates, he would choose me as a chosen mate.

He laughed aloud at my reply and reasked his question.

"Alpha just called me to ask me about what I would do after graduation," I informed him.

"Still thinking of living in the human world?" he asked.

"Yeah.." I replied, and we both fell silent as we walked toward the ballroom.

"I'm gonna miss you, you know," he said after some time.

"I'm gonna miss you too. We could still mind-link and tell each other everything like usual," I told him calmly despite the way my heart was fluttering. He wouldn't know how sweet his words were.

He hummed in reply before asking me, "How are Alpha and Luna today?"

"Still the same as usual," I replied with a faint smile.

"Still the same cuddly wolf in front of you?" he asked.

This time I was the one who laughed aloud at his reply.

My father, Alpha Andre, was the strongest alpha as of now. He was feared by most werewolves. He chose a second mate, Witch Rose, after my mother died.

And the appearance of Witch Rose brought about the triumph of the Black Heart Pack to be labeled as the strongest Pack ever. With my father's strength, his ruthlessness, and the witchcraft of Witch Rose (which we called her 'Luna Rose' now), no packs would dare to attack, much less take over the pack.

So to see how the great Alpha Andre behaved around me, his daughter, was indeed amusing.

"He's my father, after all," I replied, and we fell into a comfortable silence after that.

"Has all the packs decided to attend the prom this time?" Greg asked as we crossed the threshold to another area of the pack.

"Yup. All five will attend for sure," I replied.

"Even the Crimson Blood Pack will attend. Shows how respected our pack is," he said with pride.

We all were actually quite shocked by the news. No one would have imagined that the Crimson Blood Pack would attend a social event. Even the invitation was sent out only as a courtesy of them being one of the packs here.

There were a total of six packs in this country - Silver Moon Pack, Spirit Shadow Pack, Glowing Stone Pack, Crimson Blood Pack, and on top of them all was ours, the Black Heart Pack.

We all had quite nice friendships and had businesses together, except for the Crimson Blood Pack. They were kind of a loner as their pack was situated far away from the rest of us. We all lived near forests, to not be seen by humans when we were in wolf forms, but they lived up the mountain, where even other pack members wouldn't see them.

And they wouldn't usually attend social functions if they had no important issues to be discussed by the Alphas, and thus the reason why we were shocked by their confirmed attendance.

"Oh my God, I can't believe the history we just learned," a girl's voice suddenly rang out in my ear as we passed by two small she-wolves.

Greg and I shared a look at her words and fell silent once again, each of us thinking of the history ourselves. I could imagine how amazed they must be feeling at learning the history of Werewolves vs Lycans.

Once upon a time, this world had not only humans, witches, and werewolves, but there were Lycanthropes too, aka the Lycans. Lycans were like us, but better at everything. They were the supreme wolves with better agility, power, and stamina, and were smarter than us. And we all lived in our own worlds with no wars between us.

But a few years before I was born, newborn werewolves suddenly started disappearing one by one until the numbers were too great to be counted. It turned out that the Lycans had been killing them, which led to the greatest war of all time - the Werewolves vs Lycans War.

There was said to be a prophecy from a witch that a child born from that year would be the end of the Lycanthrope, and they began killing the newborn werewolves to ensure that the prophecy wouldn't come true.

One of the witches (that was Luna Rose), told all the Alphas about it, and so the war began. Werewolves around the world banded with witches to upturn the Lycans, and with their help, the werewolves succeeded in driving the Lycans to extinction.

For me, driving the Lycans to extinction was a bit of an extreme gesture, but I wouldn't let anyone know of my thought as I would surely be labeled as a traitor.

Maybe they deserved it because they were killing newborn werewolves just because they were afraid of extinction. How ironic that their action in preventing it actually still led to their demise? Would they not have done it if they had known what would happen? Or would they wait and tried to kill that one werewolf alone to save their race?

"Why are you sighing?" I heard Greg's voice from beside me.

I hadn't realized that I was sighing, but although that history amazed me, somehow I felt a tinge of sadness too when I thought about it.

"Nothing.. Just thinking how great werewolves are," I half-lied. Well.. It was the truth. Werewolves were great, but I knew without the witches' help, they wouldn't win against the Lycans.

I stopped in my track and groaned once I realized what I was thinking. There it goes again - me thinking nicely about the Lycans. Something is seriously wrong with me!

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yup, good as new!" I said with a cheery voice.

"By the way, because of that great war, Alpha Andre was crowned as the strongest Alpha in this country, right?" he asked happily.

"Uh-huh.. I heard he killed the most Lycans together with Luna Rose then," I confirmed his theory.

"They must have been fated together since they worked so well since then," he replied with a dreamy look on his face.

I was sure he was imagining that battle scene of the Alpha and Luna working together, orrrr... he was imagining finding a mate and becoming like the Alpha and Luna. My heart fell at the thought.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that your mother and father are not fated together," he apologized suddenly.

Huh?! My mother and father? Ohh.. he thought I was saddened about that.

"No worries. You know I don't remember anything about my mother," I replied dismissively.

To be honest, I didn't have a great bond with my mother, the supposedly Luna of the pack, if she was still alive today. Not because she wasn't great or anything, but because she died when I was less than a year old. But I still wished for her to be alive, because I knew she was a great mother. She died while protecting me from being kidnapped by some rogues.

"Are you excited about the prom?" I asked him, deterring the subject from anything saddening.

"Yes!" he suddenly looked pumped up. Must be very excited about it, which actually made me excited too.

"We're gonna attend prom tomorrow and celebrate our birthday the next day. Double happiness!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, I know!" I laughed at how excited he was.

We were both turning eighteen in two days' time. My dad had suggested celebrating my birthday at prom, but I declined the idea. Of course, I wouldn't cut the cake at the event, and I had begged my father not to make a big deal out of it as I didn't want everyone to turn their attention to me, the wolfless Alpha's daughter. To feel embarrassed would be an understatement, it would be humiliating! Thankfully my father finally agreed after some hard begging on my part.

"How are you going to celebrate?" he asked.

"I'm not sure.. Luna had asked me permission to deal with it. So.. I guess it would be a surprise," I told him with a huge grin on my face. I loved surprises, and Luna was always kind enough to arrange them.

"How lucky," he chuckled.

"What about you? How are YOU going to celebrate?" I asked in return.

"Just with family," he shrugged.

"You don't seem to be so enthusiastic about spending your 18th birthday with your family." I raised an eyebrow at him, declaring that I was somewhat unhappy that he thought that way.

For me, spending time with my father was always the best time. So for him to be unenthusiastic because he would only celebrate it with his family didn't sit right with me.

He rolled his eyes at me. "You know what I meant."

I did know what he meant. It wasn't that he was displeased, it was just he wanted a larger family with sisters and brothers, but he was an only child, hence his reaction.

"I know. By the way, did your father say anything about the rogues?" I asked as I remembered the hushed voices behind the studies before I entered.

"No, why?" he asked with little interest in the subject.

"Nothing. Just thought there are problems again," I replied. We'd been having a little problem with the rogues. They had been around the area but didn't do anything else. I once heard Greg's father, Beta Erick, told my father that it seemed the rogues were waiting or looking for something.

"Let's talk about the prom, alright?" he suggested, and I agreed happily.

"Would the students feel that our theme is cliche?" I'd been wondering about this since it was first selected by the prom's committee.

"Rainforest?" He laughed.

"Yeah.. Forest.. Wolves.." I pointed out.

"I think they would be surprised at how life-like the decorations are." he laughed again.

At long last, we reached the ballroom building. It was situated in a different area than the pack members' houses, so it took a while to walk there.

"Ready to see?" he asked as he was about to open the double door.

I nodded, and he pulled open one of the doors. Today we were finishing the small touches, and as per his words, I was astounded while looking at the decorations. It felt like we had traveled to a natural rainforest.

The trees, animals and their sounds, the waterfall, and the ceiling was even painted as black as the sky with lighting as stars and moon.

"Do you think some would turn into wolves because of the life-like moon?" I blushed when I realized what I had just asked.

He laughed out so loud and hard until his eyes were teary. "Sometimes you are just too naive."

I rolled my eyes at him despite my blush.

We walked around the "rainforest," and I could feel that after I attended the prom tomorrow night and turned eighteen the day after, something big was going to happen to my life.
