View MoreIt was back in the 1820’s. I lived in a little village on the coast of Norway with my parents. I had volunteered to go hunting that night for my father because I needed to let my lycan out. We were both stressed out and need to blow some of it off.
I had been out in the woods under the full moon for over an hour when I smelt something. My lycan pointed our nose in the air and started sniffing. There was a strong scent coming up wind, and we slowly started to follow it. Actually it was more like it was dragging us in. The closer we got, the stronger the scent of blood became.
“Hello? Is anyone out here?” I hollered out but got no response.
“Maybe it’s just another animal that was being hunted.” My lycan suggested.
“That wouldn’t explain the sweet scent of a fresh snowfall and chocolate.” I furrowed my brows in confusion while still taking slow steps forward.
Within minutes we found the source of the scents. She was lying there on the forest floor, beaten beyond recognition, and left for dead. She was completely unconscious. I could smell her wolf but there was also something else that I didn’t recognize.
“Mate!” My lycan shouted just as I touched her and sparks ignited from the skin-to-skin contact.
I didn’t waste another second. I carefully scooped her up in my arms and took her back home. My father was a surgeon and my mother was a nurse. They would know what to do with her. I hollered out for my parents as I came out of the woods into our back yard. The back door flung open and they were both standing there. I could see the shock on both their faces.
“Father help! I found her laying in the forest! Someone tried to kill her but she’s still alive! Please help her!” I pleaded.
“Do you know this woman?” My mother asked.
“No ma’am, but…” I trailed off as my father took her out of my arms.
“But what son?” He said walking back towards the house.
“I think she’s my mate?” I said more as a question to myself than them.
My parents stopped and looked at each other and my mother smiled. My father wasn’t one to show much emotion so it didn’t come as a surprise when he just continued on into the house. He laid her down on the kitchen floor and then started examining her body. My mother started taking notes of all her wounds. They commented on how some of them have already started healing thanks to her wolf. It wasn’t until my father pulled her eyelids up and saw the color before backing away slowly.
“Father what is it?! What’s wrong with her!?” I asked anxiously.
“Son, there is no easy way to tell you this so I’m just going to be blunt about it. She’s a hybrid.” My father stated as serious as could be while looking me dead in my eye.
“Hybrid? How is that even possible. I know she’s a wolf, I could smell it!” I was stumbling all over my words trying to make things make sense.
“Yes son, she is part wolf, but her other part is…” My mother started but stopped and looked at my father.
“Just tell me please!” I pleaded. “She’s my mate!”
“Vampire son. Her other part is vampire.” My father said.
My eyes went wide in shock. I was thinking a hybrid of werewolf and lycan. Inter-species mating is unheard of so how did this happen! I look down at my mate still laying on the floor unconscious. I knelt beside her and softly ran my hand over the top of her head, pushing some wild strands of hair out of her face. She had the face of an angel. She had long blonde hair and ivory colored skin. I looked over her body at all the wounds before my lycan let out a possessive growl.
“I don’t care what she is father. She is my mate. I will make this work somehow.” I said looking up at him.
“Son I do not blame you for your decision. I was hoping you would say that actually.” My father said causing surprise to show on my face.
“I thought you would be upset because of her other half?” I asked.
“Although it is not the ideal mate we had hope for you, she is still your mate son. You were paired for a reason and who are we to question the Goddess?” My mother said calmly.
“We will tend to her here, but you can not tell anyone about this.” My father said coming over next to me. “If whoever did this, finds out they failed, they could come back and try to finish the job.”
“I will kill anyone who intends to do any harm to her or you guys.” I growled.
“Calm down son. We know.” My mother said calmly putting her hand on my shoulder.
*Three Weeks Later*
My mate finally woke up and we were able to talk for the first time. When she opened her eyes they were grey but so beautiful. They would flash between grey and red there for a little while before she gained more strength to keep her vampire side down. She explained to me that her father was the vampire and her mother was the werewolf. Her blood lust wasn’t as controlling as it was for other vamps. She could manage her blood lust by feeding off wild animals.
The more we talked, the more I was falling in love. She told me her name was Catherine. She had a rough upbringing being what she was. She had to hide her vamp side since she grew up in her mother’s pack. We spent the next four days just sitting and talking. I would bring her food and help her wash up. It wasn’t long after she regained her strength that our little village was attacked and we had to flee.
We managed to sneak onto a ship heading to Scotland. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t survive the trip. I lost both of them together. Thank the Goddess I had my mate there for comfort otherwise I would have went feral. Once we docked in Scotland, I found an abandoned shack along the shoreline. We decided to sleep there for the night before pressing on tomorrow morning.
I was awoken by someone grabbing my arm and dragging me out. I could hear Catherine screaming and my lycan was going crazy. I started fighting back and knock two of the attackers out before I heard a voice bellowing across the beach to stop.
We all froze and look in the direction of where the voice came from. There was man walking towards us and I realized it was the King of Lycans. I knelt down immediately and bowed my head.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?” He asked me.
“Your majesty, my mate and I fled our village in Norway when it was attacked. We came here to seek refuge.” I said still looking at the ground.
“I did hear about that attack. No survivors from what I’m told. It was a great loss to our kind.” One of the guards said and the King hummed in response.
“You came seeking refuge?” The King asked.
“Yes your majesty.” I answered.
“Request granted. On one condition. You will serve in my army as one of the guards. After just seeing what you did to two of my best men, I think you will be a great addition.” The King said.
“Of course your majesty. Anything you want, I will do.” I said.
“Come. Let’s get you kids cleaned up and fed.” The King said.
I stood up and took my mate in my arms. We followed the King back into a mountain where he showed us our room and around the establishment. It was the perfect place to hide my mate from those who wished to see her dead because of her heritage. Or so I thought anyways.
*Five Years Later*
Catherine and I hadn’t had any children. We had tried countless times, and she blamed herself for it. She said it was because she was part vampire. The King eventually found out what she was and he ordered her death immediately. I begged and pleaded for her life. I asked that he just took her fangs instead of her life.
“Your majesty, when a wolf loses their canines, they lose their wolf. Can’t the same be done with the vamps?” I pleaded.
“I would think so. There is still a lot of unknowns when it comes to their kind boy.” The King answered.
“Take her fangs and spare her life. If you do this, I will take complete responsibility for whatever consequences come of this action and will do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation.” I said.
The King thought for a moment before finally agreeing to my terms. Catherine begged for me as they held her and ripped her fangs out. I tried everything to get to her, even though this was my idea, I still couldn’t stand the sight of her in pain. I was restrained back by shackles and four guards standing all around me. No matter what I did, I couldn’t free myself.
Not long after that, Catherine completely lost control. Her blood lust only increased and her wolf went feral. She was sneaking out and wreaking havoc on the human village at the bottom of the mountain. She had even went as far as killing woman and children alike.
The King told me that she was to be killed and I volunteered to do it myself. I knew this was my fault. If I hadn’t suggested taking her fangs this wouldn’t have happened. So I had to do the unthinkable and kill my own mate.
*Tabby’s POV*Tempestra was in an uproar. They had heard the story of the missing Dutchess who was brainwashed by the wolves and lycans. They heard of the dead, and almost dead bodies, that had been returned to our doorstep as warnings. The real facts have been twisted and turned so much, even I was questioning what was real and what wasn’t.I haven’t heard from Tegan in a couple of weeks, and the mother in me wants to just leave to go check on my babies. Nobody has even acknowledged my presence lately; I doubt they would even notice if I left. My dragon, Victoria, and I have been planning our getaway for the past few days now. We were leaving tonight. Tate has been busy with the warriors and planning out this attack, so he hasn’t shared our bed with me for weeks now.Victoria and I have gone back and forth with this. We are torn between our love, honor, and duty; between family and thunder. As a royal mother, it’s the hardest thing ever! It didn’t take very long to decide, and Victor
*Cheyenne’s POV*“BY WHO?!” I demanded from the small she-wolf.“Hunters! They’re at the borders and surrounding us!” She had tears streaming down her face.“Ok. Listen to me very carefully.” I walked over and softly cupped her face in both my hands while using my thumbs to wipe away her stray tears. “I need you to get all the defenseless into the safe houses. Do you understand?” I ask calmly.“Yes your…” She started.“None of that. Cheyenne is just fine.” I smiled at her, and she gave a small weak smile back. “Now go.” I escorted her back out of the room before closing the door.When I looked back at the men in the room, I could see them fighting with their wolves. They were ready to kill something.“Chelsea, you and Darian go to the safe house as well. You do your Luna duties to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Use your magic and do what you can.” I started issuing orders.“Will do. Ben, need I remind you that if you die, I will bring you back and kill you myself?” Chels
*Unknown POV*“Steph what did you find out?”“The wolves are preparing for a war against the dragons.”Laughter erupted all over the room. “I told you she couldn’t do this! Listen to her, dragons?! Is she serious? Everybody knows the sirens took them out centuries ago!”“I swear! The Dragon Emperor’s daughter is with one of the lycans. She claims that he is her true mate, but the emperor says that the wolves and lycans brainwashed her. She refuses to go back home. They’ve sent two of the emperor’s men back beaten as a warning, but then the dragons sent two more who just went back torn to shreds. Cheyenne is not playing around, and now they have two dragons on their side, and…” Stephanie looked down at her hands in her lap and started picking at her nails.“And what child!!!?” Her father bellowed, causing her to jump.“I think the vampires might be on their side too,” Stephanie said as fast as she could.“WHAT!!!!?” Multiple voices were heard in unison.“It’s kind of confusing but I’ll
***Cheyenne’s POV***“Original plan was just to observe, but it seems,” they paused as they looked at Teagan again, “seems like plans have changed.” They smiled.“Charlie get the women and children out of here.” Koa hollered out without taking her eyes off the intruder.“Let us go!” Pain and Panic were yelling from the ground.“What should we do with them?” Koa asked Teagan and Maggie.“Allow me,” Teagan said looking towards the men on the ground. “Excuse me, this will only take a second.” And with that, Teagan shifted right in front of us.The sight of the two sisters, fully shifted, next to each other was just breathtaking. Maggie looked like the twilight sky with sunset-colored eyes, while Teagan’s dragon was the exact opposite. She was a beautiful mix of greens and blues, with that metallic look as well. Her eyes were the perfect blend of the brightest yellow and green. One that looked like the end of the day, while the other reminded you of the meadows along the ocean in broad da
***Cheyenne’s POV***Gunner didn’t seem phased by it, so we kept going. It didn’t take long to find Chelsea. She was giving out orders to everyone. They were all still under the impression that this was just going to be a pack BBQ tonight. We hadn’t had one in a long time, so they weren’t thinking twice about it.“Oh thank god you’re here!” Chelsea seemed relieved to see us.“I’m going to go find Ben. You girls have fun, and don’t hurt anybody.” Gunner kissed my forehead and went in the direction Chelsea was pointing.“And make sure he’s got the ball pit set up!” She hollered out after him.Gunner just gave a thumbs-up as he jogged away. Chelsea was showing me everything they had set up so far and what still needed to be done. I looked at the time and reminded her that we still had 3 hours until the party started. I managed to calm her down by taking Darion and offering to go check on the guys. She kept thanking me over and over again. I told her to just relax, and the main thing was
*Alpha Nik’s POV*“Sir, the project is complete!” Cheyenne’s Dad’s voice came from the speaker on his phone.“Awesome! You think she’ll like it?” I was all of a sudden nervous. Why was I so nervous?“Sir, she is going to love it! Her mother was very specific on certain details of the décor. To be honest sir, I’m glad it’s over.” Her Dad chuckled in the phone.“You and me both. Ok, thank you for the information. I will get her out there later today before the pack party. You go home and rest.” I thanked him and disconnected the call.“Ben, I need you to figure out a way to get Gunner here without Cheyenne.” I opened the mind link.“How am I going to do that? You know those two go everywhere together.” Ben groaned.“Are you questioning your alpha son?” I was laughing to myself.“Seriously Dad?! You’re going to play that card?” Ben replied still whining.“Yep!” I was still smiling.“Fine. I’ll figure something out. How much time do I have to work with here?” Ben asked starting to turn th
*Cheyenne's POV*“Ok, first things first. We have no idea what the hunters are planning, much less when they’ll attack. Same for the dragons. Teagan said it’s been radio silent for a while. BUT what we do know is there is a party for me and Maggie on Friday. Also, when’s the last time anyone has seen Ben or Chelsea? Let’s go check on them and make sure Chelsea hasn’t killed him yet. Besides, Alida needs some baby time to help her chillax.” Tora suggested while smacking my ass when she walked by me to head towards the vehicles.“Hey! That’s my ass!” Gunner whined.“Oh come on! That’s my sister!” Ty moaned.“Tora…” I called out to get her attention.When she looked back at me, I slightly nodded towards the truck. Gunner always leaves the keys in it, so that wasn’t an issue. As soon as she turned, I bolted for the driver’s seat. There was that split second of shock on Gunner’s face before he realized what was going on.I jumped in the truck with Tora jumping in the other side and we quic
“Dad, I think I know what you’re talking about already. It’s the only thing that makes sense as to being short on the phone and pulling me away just now. What do you know about her?” I asked while picking at my own fingers.Gunner, having seen my nervous tick, reached over and grabbed my hands while giving me a calm wave of energy through our bond. I gave a small nod and a thank you smile to my mate and then returned my attention back to my dad.“I know she’s the daughter of the leader of the HOA. I know Tyler claims her as his fated mate. I know she says she has nothing to do with the HOA. I know she said her father is deathly sick, BUT…” my dad paused before continuing, “I also know that’s a lie!” my dad stopped talking and continued staring at the ceiling.“Wait, what do you mean? How do you know that’s a lie?” I asked in a hurry.“Your mom saw her father lurking around the borders the other day, and since your mom takes that witchy potion in front of me religiously, I know she’s t
*Cheyenne’s POV*I wasn’t exactly sure how to bring the subject up to Tyler that his mate was at our meeting, much less ask him why she would’ve been there, one that even he couldn’t be at. Do I just rip the Band-Aid off, so to speak, and just come right out and say it? Was there a way to even sugarcoat it to try to break it to him nicely? No, I couldn’t do that, because he would know then that something was up because that’s not me. It was only yesterday, and I didn’t get much sleep last night because of this. I knew Gunner could feel the turmoil going on inside of me through the mate bond and every time I tried to block it, he would tell me to let him back in.“That’s what a mate is for, to feel everything you feel and help you through it.” He kept saying.It was around 2:00 am when he finally pulled me into his body, letting the sparks erupt everywhere our skin made contact with each other. The feeling drove all other thoughts out of my head and allowed me to drift off to sleep fin
