Heir to the Moon (GxG)

Capitulum 55

~Kena POV~

My eyes kept glancing at the clock, Azalea wasn't back yet and it was slowly starting to worry me. I was having a hard time concentrating on the new training schedule to prepare most of our warriors to what we were facing. Rogues we could handle just fine, but the Lycans that served under Cyllene were a different kind of enemy. An enemy just Brynn, me and the still unconscious private guard knew about. I guess Azalea knew too, I sighed focusing my attention back on Rieka and Nienna as they explained their group training. Alora sat quietly in the corner, her heart was slamming against her chest and she looked feverish.

'Are you alright Alora?' I let my gaze run over her body, goosebumps covered her skin. Which was weird to me since we didn't get cold at all, Nienna stood placing the back of her hand on her forehead. 'You are heating up, and not your heat kind of way.'

'I am fine, promise.' Alora spoke, but her face said otherwise. I sighed, standing up. 'Nienna open the door for me, and please don't tell Azalea I carried her best friend out bridal style.'

'What? Put me down,' She protested, but nevertheless she was too weak to even fight me. I mind-linked Aita that we were on our way. Even though Alora had protested in the first place, she seemed to enjoy the heat I was providing her.

Aita rushed towards us, stethoscope ready in her hands as I placed Alora on one of the empty beds. Aita did some quick exams, she frowned as she wrote some things down. 'What do you think?'

Aita sighed, 'In all honesty, I have no clue. I'll have to take some blood and run some tests on it to know more.'

I sighed, 'Please inform me when you do.'

'Of course Alpha.' With that Aita rushed off, Nienna eyed me. Her gaze landing on my fresh mark. It was taking a little longer to heal than I anticipated, but I figured it was because Azalea was a Lycan now.

Suddenly the door burst open and a fuming Brynn stood in front of us in her Lycan state. I growled and her eyes snapped towards me, 'Shift Brynn.' I commanded, I saw the small hesitation in her eyes as she tried to fight my command. Another growl rumbled through me, a hand on her back caused her to calm down as she shifted back.

She bowed her head towards me, 'My apologies Alpha, my mate is in distress.'

I narrowed my eyes at her, crossing my arms. I wasn't too happy with Brynn her new behavior of fighting my every command. I was still her Alpha whether she liked me or not. I dipped my head in the direction of Alora, giving her silent permission to leave my sight. I glanced over my shoulder as I watched her stand near her mate.

Sparks erupted on my arm, my eyes meeting the silver ones from Azalea. I was glad she managed to calm down. I wrapped my arm around her, 'I am glad you are back.' I kissed the top of her head, inhaling her scent. Her hair burned my mark and I took a step back. 'What is wrong?' Her eyes shot to my mark, she grabbed my hand as she lead me to the empty chair next to Alora her bed. Pushing me down, 'What are you doing?' I asked warily.

Azalea didn't answer as she took a deep breath, shifting into her Lycan state. Instantly a growl rumbled through me, a growl I hadn't recognized yet. It actually kind of surprised me. 'What are you doing little wolf?'

She smirked, 'Tilt your head to the side.'

I sighed, 'I am not in the mood to have some heated make out session to speed up the healing session in the middle of the infirmary.'

Brynn laughed, 'Just listen to her woman.'

Azalea her Lycan form towered over me, but she kneeled down in front of me as I obeyed tilting my head to the side and brushing my hair back. A shiver ran down my spine as her Lycan tongue ran over the mark, it wasn't an unpleasant feeling but it was something I had to get used to. Within seconds the mark stopped burning and it actually looked kind of normal.

'How the hell did you do that?' I asked her, in awe as I stared at my mark in the mirror. Azalea shifted back, resting her chin on my shoulder as she eyed me with pure adoration.

'I read Lycan saliva can heal wounds, only their mates though. I figured I'd give it a try.' She shrugged, placing a kiss on the back of my neck. I bit my lip as I fought the moan, I wasn't going the moan in public. Although Azalea could smell my arousal from miles away.

'Can we speak privately?' She asked me, her silver eyes as innocent as they could be. I frowned, 'Of course we could go to our room.'

The walk to our room was silent and it was kind of freaking me out. I opened the door for her and closed it behind us. She sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to her. I reluctantly sat down, 'Have you been feeling.. odd? since I marked you.' She asked.

'Where is this coming from?'

She sighed. 'When Alcione marked Leto in her wolf form she didn't just trigger my Lycan gene. In the past few days things have been explained to me in ways I will explain to you in a minute. But I need you to answer the question first, please Kena.' Her voice pained me as I heard the underlying sadness.

I sighed, had I been feeling weird? I wasn't sure. I felt the same, I had a little more energy and I felt our bond growing stronger with each passing day. I just figured after the major impact it took, it was only growing stronger from now on. 'Weird in what way?'

'Protective.. high-sex drive.. stronger.. faster.. extremely emotional?' She named a few things.

'I guess I have a little, I just figured it's because I almost lost you.' I admitted. A soft smile played around her mouth, 'explain love.'

'Okay, okay. You have a far hidden Lycan gene and I apparently triggered it by marking you as a Royal Lycan. One emotion could give you the final push.' She admitted in a soft whisper.

I took a deep breath, 'Alright.' I mentally slapped myself for not coming up with another word. It was hard to wrap my head around the fact I was part Lycan. Alcione snickered in the back of my mind, enjoying my struggle. It hit me that she already knew, she had known from the beginning.

'I am sorry I didn't tell you before.' Azalea whispered, I pulled her flat against my chest. Kissing the top of her head. 'It is alright love, we are both still figuring out your history and I mean, just imagine the amount of spicy, hot sex we will be having when we both have the endurance of a Lycan.'

She smacked my arm, but I couldn't help but laugh. 'Little wolf, there is something I want to ask you,' Nerves forming themselves in the pit of my stomach as her silver eyes met mine. 'I don't care if I am a Lycan, or a dang bird. As long as I am with you, you are my queen and I'll choose you again and again. At the start and finish of every single day. I choose you knowing there are still roads we need to discover, or mountains we need to climb. But I will gladly do all that, as long as I am with you and you are with me.'

I stood, grabbing her hand as I got down on one knee. 'Everything in my life has led me to you, so would you please do me the honor of marrying me?'

My heart slamming against my chest as I awaited her answer, tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. When her hands captured my face, pulling me into her, connecting our lips into a passionate kiss, the love exploding through our bond.

I chuckled, pulling back slightly. 'Is that a yes?'

She laughed, 'Of course I'll marry you.'

I smirked, pushing her down on the bed as I towered over her. She smiled softly at me, and I leaned down to kiss her lips. She instantly deepened the kiss, wasting no time. I couldn't help but smile against her soft lips, I had my mate, my Luna, my queen next to me. For the rest of my life and I wouldn't want it any other way.
