Chapter 24 – Destined Mates
••• Kyson’s POV •••
Finishing my shower, I looked at the clock and saw it was nearly 7 am. I quickly donned my clothes and walked toward Aleena’s room.
“Do you think she’s awake?” Night asked.
“She should be. If not, we’ll have to ask Witch Lily to check her up,” I told him. Aleena had been sleeping for a whole day yesterday and was still sleeping when we checked on her at 1 am this dawn.
I opened the door to her bedroom slowly, not wanting to wake her up if she was still asleep, and I heaved out a sigh of relief when I saw her empty bed.
“She should be okay,” I told Night and closed the door.
“Maybe we still need to ask Witch Lily to check her. Isn’t it strange for her to sleep that long?” Night asked with worry.
“Or maybe we fucked her too hard yesterday,” I told him. After all, she was human-like, and maybe we tired her out.
“Let’s just see her first,” Night said, and I agreed silently with him.
I entered the elevator and pressed the ground-floor button, intending to go to the dining room to ask if Aleena had brought breakfast for us to the study.
Entering the dining room, I saw both the Betas and Gammas couples.
“Alpha,” they greeted, and I just nodded at them.
“Has Aleena come here yet?” I asked no one in particular.
“Yeah. You missed Luna by just a few minutes,” Liam said with a small smile as he sipped his morning coffee.
I rolled my eyes at him. Great, now everyone knows that I’ve marked her.
“Oh, and your breakfasts will be taken up to the study by an Omega. After all, a Luna shouldn’t do all those things,” he kept teasing me.
Ignoring him, I turned around and went to the elevator again to go to my study. Aleena should be there by now.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
As I exited the elevator, I caught the scent of soft floral – lilies and… something else, something calming… Lavender!
“Mate! That’s the scent of our mate, Kyson!” I heard Night exclaim in excitement.
Mate?
“Dammit, Night! We just marked Aleena yesterday morning, and now we found our mate?” Shit!
“Are you sure it’s not Aleena?” he asked.
“We didn’t smell anything off her every time we checked on her; how could it be her?!” I yelled at him.
“Please go to our mate first, Kyson. I wanna see her!” Night pleaded, seemingly forgetting about Aleena.
No matter how hard I tried to fight it off, her scent was too intoxicating to resist. I hastened my steps down the hall and saw the back of a tall and slender she-wolf with skimpy shorts that displayed the bottom curve of her asscheeks.
“Mate!” Night merged with me, and we growled.
Our mate turned swiftly toward us, and I strode fast toward her, slamming her to the wall and kissing her hard.
“Mate! Mine!” We stopped kissing her just to growl out those words before crashing our lips to hers again.
Her moans were like music to our ears, and our cock turned rock-hard in our pants.
We broke the kiss and went for her neck, inhaling her scent. Smells so fuckin good…
“Ky… son?” We heard her voice and jerked our head back up to see her.
“Aleena?” we asked.
“Yes…” she said as she still panted from our kiss.
Night separated himself from me as I looked at the beautiful she-wolf in front of me.
“She’s Aleena?” Night asked, as shocked as me.
I took a step back, gave her a once-over, and scrutinized her face. She looked beautiful with high cheekbones, big eyes, and full lips.
“Kyson?” I heard her call my name again, and I looked at her neck, where my mark should be if she were really Aleena, and it was there.
“Aleena is our destined mate!” Night howled happily in my mind.
“Aleena?” I had turned into a one-word man now. How could someone change so much in just a day? Not only had her face changed, but her body, too! Yesterday, she only reached my chest, and now she reached my ear! How the heck is this possible?!
“You seemed surprised,” Aleena said with an awkward smile.
Surprise? SURPRISE?! Who the heck wouldn’t be surprised if they witnessed what seemed like a miracle?!
“How did this happen?” I asked once I found my voice.
“I don’t know. I woke up like this…” she said, still with that awkward smile.
I reached out to caress every inch of her face, and I finally noticed the similarity between the new Aleena and the old Aleena – the same big dark brown eyes, straight nose, and full lips. But damn, she looked even more beautiful now, especially with her long limbs. She looked like an alluring woman.
“Kyson, Kyson! She has a wolf!” I felt Night nudging my mind.
“You have a wolf?” I asked the new Aleena.
“Yes!” Her awkward smile turned into a happy ear-to-ear grin as she nodded repeatedly.
“I’ll let you meet her,” she said, and I watched as her dark brown eyes turned into silver.
“Hi, Kyson Night. I’m Celia, Aleena’s wolf,” she said, and her eyes turned dark brown again.
Silver eyes? Only witches have silver eyes…
I wanted to ask her to change into Celia again when suddenly we heard a female voice, breaking the somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere between us. “Alpha, Luna… I’m here to bring you your breakfasts.”
“Let’s get to the study.” I grabbed Aleena’s hand and led them to the study.
“Liam, get Witch Lily to come to my study,” I mindlinked Liam and closed it before he could reply.
The Omega placed our breakfasts on the table as Aleena, and I took our seats.
“Eat while we wait for Witch Lily,” I ordered Aleena.
She seemed to have the same thought as me as she nodded easily in response, began putting food on her plate, and eating.
I did the same as her as I kept examining her. Her long black hair was let down, reaching her waist, her long slender legs were crossed over each other, and her clothes showed off her toned abs.
Her face kinda changed, her body changed, and she had a wolf. I wondered what other changes she had.
“What about her birthmark?” Night suddenly asked.
His question brought my attention to how she might be a witch. I stood up and sat next to her. She looked at me with question as she chewed her last bite of food.
“Turn to the side,” I ordered her, and she stopped chewing. Her cheeks pinkened, and I smiled at how cute she looked.
“What are you going to do?” She looked flustered as she asked me that question.
“What do you think I’m going to do?” I asked with a deliberate, seductive lilt in my voice as I slowly leaned toward her.
“Witch Lily is coming soon. You can’t do anything!” She tried to push me away, but I caught her hands and kept leaning forward. She leaned back and fell to the sofa, and I used the chance to seize her lips with mine, kissing her passionately.
“Alpha, Luna.” I heard Witch Lily’s voice, and Aleena started struggling, but I ignored them as I kept kissing Aleena for a few seconds more before breaking off the kiss.
I smirked as I looked at her flushed cheek.
Sitting back up, I pulled her with me.
“Witch Lily, I was just about to check Aleena’s birthmark,” I said as I turned toward Witch Lily. I really was just going to check her birthmark, but her shyness distracted me and made me want to tease her, which ended with me losing my self-control and kissing her.
“Did her birthmark change too?” Witch Lily asked with a knowing smile as she sat down across us.
“Turn to the side, Aleena,” I ordered her again.
“Oh. Ohh…” Her cheeks turned even pinker as she realized what I had wanted to do before. I chuckled, looking at her being embarrassed.
She quickly turned her upper body to the side and moved her hair to one side, letting me examine her birthmark.
“Did it change, too?” she asked.
I looked at it but didn’t notice any difference. “No.”
She let go of her hair and faced Witch Lily. I circled my hand around her shoulder and pulled her close to me, making her blush once again. How cute…
“Witch Lily, what brought her changes?” I opened our conversations and went straight to the most important question.
“Didn’t I tell you that you are the key to unlocking her full potential, Alpha?” Witch Lily said with a small smile.
I remembered when she told us that, but what…
“Marking her unleashed her full potential?” I asked, and Witch Lily nodded.
“Other than her appearance and having a wolf, are there any other changes?” I asked.
“You will see soon, Alpha,” Witch Lily said with that ambiguous smile of hers, which I started to hate.
“Aleena, I need to talk to Witch Lily alone. You are free to do anything you want today.” I released my hold on hers.
“Okay.” She stood up to leave, but I stopped her.
“Wait!” I went to my desk, opened a drawer, and took out a credit card.
“Here, this is yours. You can buy anything you want. And buy some proper clothing. I don’t want any other males to see you dressed like this.” It annoyed me to think how others would ogle her body.
Her eyes turned wide as she looked at the card. It was a black card, and I didn’t mind her using it.
“Thank you, Kyson,” She smiled and turned to leave the room.
“I’ll ask Beta Christine to accompany you,” I told her, and she nodded before leaving the room happily.
Turning my attention back to Witch Lily, I asked, “Now that I know she’s my destined mate and I’ve marked her, does it change the prophecy?”
“I’m afraid not, Alpha. Her being your mate is written in both your destiny,” Witch Lily replied.
“So, she might still lead to my demise?” I asked.
“Not if you both made the right choices,” she answered and stood up. “Alpha.” She nodded her goodbye and left the room. I didn’t even try to stop her, knowing she had finished what she wanted to say.
“Hear that Night?” I asked Night. “She might still be our damnation.”
“Not if you both made the right choices,” Night repeated Witch Lily’s words.
“What choices?” I asked as my irritation rose. Can’t Witch Lily speak without riddles?
“Fall in love and accept each other? If you both reject each other, you will become enemies, and she will surely lead to our demise,” Night made a valid point.
“I need to have a meeting with the Betas, Gammas, and also Lucas and Colton,” I told him and went to take my car key to see Colton.
