••• Kyson’s POV •••
Sitting on her bed, I recalled what just had happened. Dammit! Even after twice being pumped by her, the rut didn't subside. Do I really need to fuck her? What if I fuck some other she-wolf?
“Fuck other she-wolves, and I won’t appear anymore,” Night growled threateningly.
I snorted. Not like I wanted to fuck other she-wolves too. Remembering the feel of her soft hand around my cock, pumping me, I felt my body heat up again. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! I need something to distract me!
“Come on, Kyson. Just admit that you want her. You won't even let her go anywhere without you,” Night pointed out.
Not intending to reply to him, I stood up and went to the bathroom door. “Don't take too long, Aleena,” I told the girl in the bathroom. Even my voice was still raspy.
The door opened a few seconds later, and Aleena appeared. My gaze turned intense and lustful again, thinking how good she looked with my cum all over her face. My cock, as usual, hardened in my pants again.
“I’m ready,” she said shyly while avoiding my gaze.
Her shy look somehow made me want to do unspeakable things to her.
Ignoring my rut, I took her hand and pulled her along to Witch Lily’s place.
She lived in a wooden hut not far from the pack’s main housing.
I knocked on the wooden hut while still holding Aleena’s hand with the other, and Witch Lily opened the door.
“Alpha, Aleena,” Witch Lily greeted us with a slight nod and moved sideways to let us in.
I sat down on one of the dining chairs, and pulled Aleena along, placing her on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her waist, not allowing her to sit elsewhere. Damn! I even won't let her sit far from me!
Witch Lily placed two steaming mugs of coffee in front of us and sat down across us with a faint smile on her face.
“Witch Lily, I’m here to ask for your help,” I looked at Witch Lily and began retelling what Lucas and Colton had told me.
“Would it be possible for us to break their defensive spells?” I asked.
Witch Lily didn't answer me but kept her gaze locked on Aleena, who now seemed content sitting on my lap while sipping her coffee. My lips curled up into a smile, looking at her accepting being close to me.
“I, alone, might not be able to help as their numbers are larger than us. But..” she purposely stopped her sentence.
“But?” Aleena asked her with interest.
“But with your help, we could train them to use their defensive skills to the maximal,” Witch Lily said while looking at Aleena.
And for a moment, there was silence in the room.
“Me?” Aleena squeaked with her widened eyes, breaking the silence. “But I’m useless.”
Even I couldn't believe Witch Lily. This girl is human-like. How could she help?
“Your potential will be unleashed soon, much sooner than I expected,” Witch Lily said with a gentle smile.
Potential? What kind of potential?
“She‘s going to be our salvation,” Night howled in excitement.
“Or our demise,” I retorted.
“Think about it, Kyson. If we make her our chosen mate, she’ll be on our side. And she’ll help us, which will lead to our salvation.” Night reasoned.
The thought crossed my mind too, but still, I tried denying it. “What if after we made her our chosen mate, she turned against us?”
“She won't, except if you both reject each other. And I’m sure you won't reject her, nor will she reject you,” Night pointed out.
“How are you so sure that I won't reject her?” I snorted.
“You can't even keep your hands off her, how can you reject her?” Night said smugly, and I cursed him for stating the obvious.
“Aleena, you have a birthmark, don't you?” Witch Lily asked before I could retort Night.
Birthmark?
“Yes, I have,” Aleena said as she moved her hair to one side, revealing her fair right shoulder, which had a birthmark on it.
I caressed the birthmark, and it appeared to glow for a split second. Did I see it correctly? I caressed it again, but it stayed the same - no glow, no nothing. My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
“You are the key to everything, Aleena,” Witch Lily suddenly said in a serious tone, but the gentle smile was still playing on her lips.
She’s the key? Of course, she’s the key, I snorted. She would affect the end result of our war.
“Aleena, could you wait outside for a while? There’s something I need to speak to Witch Lily about.” I lifted her off my lap, which somewhat made me feel a loss, yet relieved. My cock had been poking her entrance ever since she sat on my lap, which didn't help me to focus on the subject at hand.
“Oh, okay.” She went to the door, clutching her cup of coffee.
Heaving a sigh of relief, I turned my attention to Witch Lily.
“Witch Lily, are you sure she’s really the key? She’s so small and weak,” I voiced out my doubt again.
“She won't be soon,” Witch Lily said ambiguously.
“Did you not notice her birthmark?” she continued.
“I noticed it,” I nodded in confirmation.
“We'll have to awaken her true potential,” Witch Lily said.
“How?” I inquired.
“You are the key,” Witch Lily said without explaining any further.
Now I’m the key too? The key to her unlocking her true potential? This confused me more than giving me the answer I needed.
“It all depends on the both of you,” Witch Lily stated ambiguously again.
“Could it be the reason her birthmark glowed when you touched it?” Night pondered in my head.
“Her birthmark glowed when I touched it,” I informed Witch Lily, in which she nodded as if it was a natural occurrence.
“Maybe we should train her just as Lucas suggested?” Night proposed.
“Would it be a wrong move to train her?” I directed my question to Witch Lily.
“No. We need her to be strong. I’d advise you to start training her just as Lucas suggested,” Witch Lily said as her eyes glazed white, indicating that she was having a vision.
How did she know..
“Her birthmark will play an important role in our war,” Witch Lily said in a deep and booming voice before I could ask about it.
“If she can make use of the strength of her birthmark, she might become our strongest ally,” Witch Lily continued, still in her vision voice.
How could a simple birthmark play an important role? This confused me even further.
I saw Witch Lily close her eyes, and they had turned back to silver when she opened them.
“Just go with the flow, Alpha Kyson,” she said in her usual gentle voice and gaze.
“She’s Andre’s daughter,” I bit out. No matter how much I wanted her, she was still the enemy’s daughter.
“Oh please, Kyson. As I’ve told her before, don't blame each other for something others did,” Night rolled his eyes at me.
“She will become your foe if you want to, and she’ll become your ally if you allow her to. It all depends on the both of you,” Witch Lily said in a barely-a-whisper voice.
I waited for her to explain further, but she kept quiet while having a far-away look. I knew it was time for me to go. She wouldn't say anything else, even if I asked her questions.
I stood up, thanked her, and went out the door, nearly colliding with Aleena, who stood right in front of the door.
Looking at her, I still couldn't believe that she was the key, being so small and weak.
“Have you ever trained before?” I asked as I took her hand and pulled her along.
She placed the cup she had been holding on a chair and followed me hastily.
“Yes, I always trained with weaker pack members last time,” she nodded in confirmation.
“From tomorrow on, you will begin training here after you finish doing your tasks.” I glanced at her as we walked back to the pack’s main residence.
Her eyes widened, and fear flashed in her eyes.
“But I’m weak,” she said in a small voice.
“The more reason for you to train. I’ll pair you with our weakest Omegas,” I told her.
It was compulsory for all our pack members, including Omegas, to train together so as to be able to defend themselves and help during the great war.
I wanted to see how Aleena perform, too, to ascertain how weak she was, and from there, I could put together a training session for her.
“You are starting to accept her,” Night said happily.
“You heard what Witch Lily said. And I don't want her to be a burden when the time comes,” I gave my reasons, which sounded like an excuse.
“You are not afraid that she’ll be our demise anymore,” Night jumped around happily at the thought.
“Just go with the flow,” I told him, even though I wasn't sure training her and making her strong would be the best choice.
What if she turned against us after she became strong? Should I really make her our chosen mate so she wouldn't betray us? Those thoughts popped into my mind again.
Letting out a heavy sigh, I thought of Witch Lily’s words again.. Just let it flow.
