Page 16 of His Fierce Lycan Luna

“Because he is an illegitimate child to Garret’s brother. Plus, Kyson always held out hope Azalea was alive and that one day he would find her. He refused to believe she was dead until he had proof,” Gannon tells me.

“What do you mean?”

“The Landeena’s kept her a secret. Kyson knew he would be betrothed to any daughter they had, but for some reason, they never told anyone she was born. We never knew until we heard of their slaughter.”

“So why did he think she would be alive?”

“Because Landeena's blood is special. When we learned there was a child, and we couldn’t find her, we at first thought the hunters took her.”

“But if hunters killed them, why would they want to keep the child?”

“Because Landeena’s are venomous,” Gannon says, and my brows furrow. I look at him, and he sighs.

“Landeena blood is more potent than even the King’s,” he adds.

“I am not sure what you are saying,” I confess.

“They were the only ones that could make a human a Lycan. Lycans like me, can turn a normal werewolf into a Lycan, but the Landeenas could change a human into a Lycan.”

His words shock me. “Wait… Does Azalea know this?” I ask, and Gannon shakes his head.

“And you can’t tell her, Abbie. Let Kyson do that.”

“I am not going to lie to her.”

“I’m not asking you to. I’m just saying don’t mention it unless she says something; just don’t deliberately mention it. Give Kyson a chance to tell her first.”

“Why are they different, though?”

“Because they were the first Lycans. They were created by gods, or so the story goes anyway.”

“So the Moon Goddess?”

Gannon nods.

“But if hunters wanted to get rid of Lycans, why would they want to become one?”

“Same reason anyone would, to gain immortality. Landeena and Azure blood is the only blood that could make humans immortal. We believe that is why her parents kept her hidden from everyone except those in the castle.”

“They were worried someone would try to take her,” I state with a sigh.

“And they did,” Gannon says.

“So what, she just has to bite them?”

“Yes, there is more to it though. For me to change you, I only have to mark you and….” He pauses for a second, but I note his hesitation when he changes what he is going to say. “It is part of the reason Kyson wouldn’t do it. You could sire to him and basically become an extra mate. It’s rare for that to happen when you already have a mate, but it has happened in the past,” Gannon explains.

“Can Azalea do it?” I ask thoughtfully. Gannon clenches his jaw but nods.

“Yes, but I would rather change you myself.”

“I know, but-”

“You think you aren’t worthy of me, but you are. I am the one not worthy of you, Abbie. I want to be with you. I don’t care about your past or the shit that has happened. I told you I could wait for anything more as long as I can have you as mine. The rest we can figure out. Just let me love you. That is all I am asking for,” he says, cutting me off. I can feel his anger simmering below the surface.
