Chapter 38: Two Schemers Are Better Than One

I look at the bloody mess in my bathroom and am thankful the maids paid attention when I demanded no one enter my room. Before leaving, I had made sure to lock the doors behind me for extra measures.
I take a small cloth and begin wiping the blood on the walls. I open a tap and try to wash the one in the sink down the drain. Damn it. This particular move had really cost me a tooth. How else would I have made my attack believable? Pulling out my tooth had been excruciating.
After I am sure the bathroom is clean and disinfected, I start washing off the makeup on my face and the fake blood from my hair and body. I wince when the towel makes contact with an open wound. The makeup had tied the whole look together, but I had to actually cause my body harm in case a doctor took a look at me.

*Thelma*“Rosehip seed oil will make your skin glow while the lavender oil will make you smell great,” Hilda says as she rubs the mysterious oils onto my skin. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror that’s close by and grimace. I know the elderly woman is only trying to help, but I am already looking like a generously basted turkey.“Are you sure I won’t slip out of his grasp?” I ask. She throws her head back and laughs.“Not at all. Since long ago, women have always prepped themselves with the finest essential oils,” she replies.I nod. I wonder if I should tell her my fear that I might slide off Kyle’s huge four-poster bed. Not that it was a bad thing, as I honestly wanted nothing but to run away from this distressing situation.She takes a silk gown and helps me put it on. Although the gown's length is up to my feet, and covers most of my nude body, I still feel naked. I wish I could put on some type of underwear, but when Hilda caught me trying to put on panties after my bath,

*Thelma*(Three months ago)“Whenever you are ungrateful for anything you get in this life, remember: Kwaad will come and take your little soul and trap it in the dungeon in his dark castle. He will torture you for the rest of your days!” Uncle Fernandez finishes by raising his hands in the air and waving them around for a dramatic effect.The four little children sitting around his rocking chair look at him in shocked silence; they look like they have just seen a ghost. Roy looks like he is about to cry.I chuckle as I put a small bucket under the leaking ceiling. The rain is coming down hard and the old farm house is barely managing to keep us dry.I straighten my back, trying to stretch my poor muscles that are already worn out after my busy shift at the diner.“Rest is for the rich!” I whisper my usual mantra to myself to give me some mock courage.I remember this story giving me sleepless nights and the most vivid nightmares as a child. Kwaad is our family’s ‘Boogeyman.’“I think

*Thelma*I wake up to find a little box on the small bedside table. The white envelope underneath the box is addressed to me. I attempt to rub the sleep out of my eyes with the back of my hand, before getting up and retrieving the envelope and opening it.‘I can’t imagine my life without you. My sunshine, my angel. Happy birthday to the world’s best daughter. Love, Mom.’I smile as I open the little box. In it is a gold chain necklace with a blue pendant.“Thanks, mum,” I whisper to the empty room.I know that my mother can’t afford to buy me many luxuries, or throw me an expensive twenty-first birthday celebration, but this necklace was something I would treasure more than diamonds or platinum.I wonder what time it is; a quick look at my phone tells me that it’s half past seven. I’m surprised to see that Roy isn’t still sleeping, and after a quick shower, I make my way down the creaky stairs to the kitchen.“Happy birthday, dear,” my mother cheers in a sing-songy voice as I walk in.

*Thelma*I gulp. How did he know my name? Had Rebekah requested for the taxi in my name instead of hers? Am I being kidnapped? What the hell is happening?As all these thoughts swim in my head as I start looking around the taxi. The passenger door is locked. The taxi is moving very quickly and I’m not sure if I would rather risk jumping out of a moving vehicle or just brace myself for whatever awaits me.I try the handle, but the door doesn’t budge. With very little options, I contemplate if I should squeeze myself through the window. I’m small enough but I have no idea how to open the window. It seems this taxi was designed purposefully to trap people inside.Maybe I could reach over to the front and strangle the driver, but then that would just make him lose control of the car causing us to crash. I worry my bottom lip as I attempt to cook up an escape plan.“Child lock,” the driver says as if reading my mind.Why would he put a child lock on the passenger door of a taxi? Who was th

*Thelma*I open my eyes at the sound of loud voices stirring outside. What the heck was going on? Also, how in the world had I gotten home last night after a night full of binge drinking? Did Martin drive me back?“You can’t do this!” I hear my mother yelling from outside.I try to lift my head from the pillow, and feel like multiple hammers are having a hip-hop dance party in my head. With a groan, I lie back down. I had never drank alcohol before, but yesterday I remember downing one glass after another of that sweet pink creamy beverage. Rebekah had warned me to slow down, but the drink had been so sweet and tasted like berries; it was like having shots of strawberry milkshakes.Why does everything that’s dangerous look and taste so good….I put my hand to my forehead and close my eyes; they feel like they have shards of glass in them. My mouth feels like I was munching on some sandpaper.‘I will never drink again,’ I think to myself as I will the pain away.“Leave me! Don’t touch

*Kyle*My bed feels like it’s spinning, despite keeping my eyes closed. I can hear Yasmeen’s feet shuffling around the room, as she tries forcing me to drink water, telling me how it could help with my hangover. I am tired of explaining to her that I didn’t drink any alcohol last night; regardless, no amount of alcohol could ever make someone feel this terrible.“I squeezed a bit of lime into the water just in case plain H2O is making you feel nauseated,” Yasmeen says.I groan and open my eyes to look at her. She has her blonde hair up in a sleek tight ponytail, and I wonder if it feels uncomfortable. She smiles down at me as she shoves the glass of water in my face. Yasmeen rarely smiles, and the tilt of her lips looks forced and somewhat painful.“I’m not thirsty,” I tell her, annoyed by her persistence.Her eyebrows come together as she regards me. I can’t believe how she has grown. I took her in when she was just a rogue pup who was going around causing trouble. I knew that she wo
Hybrid Alpha's Spell Binding Surrogate Chapter 7: The Freak
*Thelma*There had to be a logical explanation for everything that had happened yesterday, right? A person can’t levitate…they just can’t.The room is silent except for the sound of the ticking old analogue clock on the bedside table. I keep scrolling through social media on my phone, looking for anything that could explain about what transpired yesterday. Maybe something in the air? Maybe some crop circles were spotted somewhere? I hope so, because this is all like a horrible nightmare.To make matters worse, Roy won’t even look me in the eye anymore. When I move close to him, he retreats and hides behind the nearest person or object. Ma has been trying to act as if nothing happened, but I can tell by the way she is distancing herself from me, that she is spooked merely by my presence.However, Uncle Fernandez made a sound in his throat at the time everything had occurred, as if he’d been expecting this for some time now.On the other hand, River’s eyes looked like saucers as she sta
Hybrid Alpha's Spell Binding Surrogate Chapter 8: Can It Get Any Stranger?
*Thelma*If there is anything about Ma that I have learnt over the years, it’s the fact that she isn’t good at bluffing. When Ma lies, she blinks rapidly and her voice becomes very high-pitched.“There is nothing wrong with you, Thelma. What are you talking about?” Ma squeaks as her eyelids rapidly move and she averts her gaze from mine.I know she is well aware of what I am talking about, yet I decide to retell the events anyway, in case she suffered some form of mild amnesia.“I levitated yesterday, Ma. My eyes look more vomit green than their usual golden mix,” I start by saying.Ma raises her hand and waves it in dismissal, “That is nothing, dear. Don’t worry about it. We will figure everything out soon.”Nothing? Had she just dismissed the fact that I could levitate…equating it to something as mundane as having two hands? I flew…I fucking flew.Ma had shown more concern when I had started my period. She had fussed over me like I was going to bleed to death. Ma had taken me to the

*Thelma*What? Tobias attacked? By whom? I turn and run after Kyle wondering if whoever was trying to attack me is who attacked Tobias. I pray not; Kyle told me this place was safe and protected. How or where did Tobias run into danger?I smell blood as four men rush into the corridor with a wounded man on a stretcher. A pained sound comes from the man, who I hardly recognize as Tobias, is bleeding and both of his eyes are swollen shut. I push past Kyle and kneel beside the stretcher.“Tobias, are you okay?” I ask.The man struggles to open his swollen eyes; his cheekbones and jaw are bruised purplish-blue. Tobias rests shirtless on the stretcher that has been placed on the floor. It looks like someone whipped him mercilessly…repeatedly. The shredded f

*Kyle*The scotch I’m drinking feels great as the spicy liquid goes down my throat. I feel it as my Beta tries to mind-link with me, and I wonder what the problem is. It has only been an hour since I last spoke with him. Had Rhia given him a magical wedgy for leaving her in bed to run to my call?“What’s up?” I answer.“After I left the house, I went to see Leo and asked him to check if he can find anything about Tobias,” he starts.Ahh, how had I forgotten about Leo? He works with the human police. I could have asked him myself, but the thought slipped my mind.“Good catch, Beta. Does Leo know anything?” I ask and wait impatiently for his answer.
Hybrid Alpha's Spell Binding Surrogate Chapter 35: Double Trouble
*Tobias*I survey my brother’s gray eyes and smile, which is more of a permanent scowl that has been etched on his face since my arrival. Although we are identical twins, I have always felt the absence of the bond twins usually share, partly due to the fact that we are a very rare breed of twins.Kyle inherited both vampiric and wolf powers from our biological parents, but I on the other hand was born devoid of the physical attributes and powers that my brother is blessed with. He has always been the best of our pair; he has everything I wish I could lay claim to.Our adopted Leviathan father had always praised Kyle for his power and level-headedness. He had trained with Kyle day and night to make him even stronger than he already was.I am the one who needed
Hybrid Alpha's Spell Binding Surrogate Chapter 34: Be Careful, Thelma
*Thelma*I watch the spiral of the stairs below me as Kyle continues to carry me up them. I decide to stop struggling, as I am afraid this will just cause the giant monster who is carrying me to lose his footing and fall, which wouldn’t be beneficial for either of us.Once we reach the top, Kyle enters a dimly lit room; I can tell it’s his bedroom by the woody scent. He locks the door before walking over to the bed and throwing me onto it. I close my eyes and brace myself for the painful impact; I am surprised that the bed is soft and cushions my landing very well.When I open my eyes, they meet him, his orbs blazing with anger as he surveys me. Kyle’s eyes seem to flicker a red hue….I wince. Pure rage and disappointment, not like a parent has with their apathetic teenager, but something eve

*Kyle*The floorboards make a weird sound as I walk toward my bedroom for my date with Thelma. I can’t help but wonder if the house needs new floorboards already. Hasn’t it only been a year since Billy, the construction guy, put in new tiles?The thought quickly is pushed to the back of my mind as I hasten my footsteps toward the bedroom. I am both nervous and excited to see Thelma today.Hopefully my request for a bottle of champagne over ice with two flute glasses and a tray of chocolate-dipped strawberries has already been prepared.Glancing at my Rolex, I realize I only have about thirty minutes to spare before Thelma arrives. I must prepare myself because tonight I plan to get her to fall in love with me–well, maybe a little bit in love.
Hybrid Alpha's Spell Binding Surrogate Chapter 32: Home Sweet Home
*Tobias*Looking dejectedly in the mirror, I shudder. The scuffle between my anxieties and my bad mood is ongoing. The migraines aren’t doing anything to improve my disposition.Coming here was a gamble. I knew that this would put me back in the depressing position of always being compared to Kyle.He is always the better one, right? More handsome, stronger and obviously much more responsible. I am tired of being known simply as Kyle’s brother; I am a man with my own two legs to stand on. I have my own identity, and this time, I will claim my place just as Tobias Logan, not Kyle’s weaker sibling.Tobias the drunkard, the one who always needs saving…I am so over that narrative.The healer I went to see

*Yasmeen*I whirl at the sound of someone sniffling, probably weeping. The witch rushes past me and I can see from her wet cheeks that she is crying. I can’t help but smile, despite my head, which feels like an army of ants is marching up and down my scalp. My day has been going quite miserably considering how Alpha Kyle seems to be avoiding me and ignoring my advances. What the hell does he want? I am the type of woman men crave, lust for, think of when they pleasure themselves, and more. I raise a hand to my head and try my best to scratch at the itchiness caused by the stupid wig I am wearing. I can feel the headgear shift clumsily as I attempt to scrape aggressively underneath its lace surface. Damn it! How do other women manage to wear these things on their heads for hours on end and still look graceful? This thing feels like a hair hat that was made with remnants of lice. Trying to distract myself from the discomfort, I walk down the corridor toward where the witch came from.

*Thelma*An earthly scent swarms around the new arrival; it should be enough to quench my curiosity, but there is something unsettling about Tobias.He has a devilish grin that tells me he has more of a quirky and flirtatious side to him, unlike his brother, Kyle. With his dark curly hair, a tanned skin tone, defined cheekbones and almond-shaped brown eyes, Tobias looks nothing like his brother.“The two of you don’t look alike at all,” I muse. I clasp my hand to my mouth realizing I have spoken my private thoughts out loud.“Who is more handsome,” Tobias asks with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes.I find myself mentally comparing the two men. Tobias is a little shorter than Kyle, but he is just
