"You heard me. I said, have you ever tried?" He repeats.I frown my brows at him. What the hell is he on about."Who the hell would? Do you even hear yourself right now? Why would I drink blood? I'm not a vampire!" I shout out."Prove it." He spits at me."How? How the hell do you want me to prove that I'm not a vampire." I question.Alpha Xander reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small vial."What is that?" I question."Nothing to be concerned about unless you're a vampire." He states.He holds the vial out towards me."What do you want me to do with that?" I ask."If I'm correct, and you're in fact, a tribrid, then the very liquid within this vial would burn your skin upon contact. However, if you truly are just a hybrid, like you say you are, then nothing will happen." He calmly states.Curiosity gets the better of me as I find myself reaching over to grab the vial with my empty hand."How do I know this isn't a trick?" I ask."You have your reasons to mistrust me, but conside
... Four Years Later......Darius POV...I was growing restless. I'm turning sixteen in less than a month, and I could already feel my wolf getting anxious. I was looking forward to being able to shift for the first time. My sixteenth birthday was going to be amazing. It would be the first time to meet my wolf, but it was also the day in which I could begin to learn who my mate was. I found myself conflicted over the last part. The strange thing was, I had no idea why. I have an inner desire to meet her, but I also had this need to move on without her. I didn't know why I was like this. I had always thought that I would be one of those love-sick wolves that desperately searched for their true mate. I had grown up being told by the elders how special our mates really were. So why did I not want to meet her? I was so confused. It was as if part of me was telling me to choose my own mate, while a small part of me fought against the very idea of it. I wish that once I have my wolf, that
In just two minutes, my life will forever change. 'One minute and forty-eight seconds...' I think to myself as I look at the watch on my wrist.'One minute and twenty-six seconds..' I say in my mind, counting the time down.I strip out of the remainder of my clothes and place them in a bag at the base of the tree. I take my watch off and place it on top of my clothes.I can feel the cool air breeze over my body, sending chills throughout. However, with my wolf genes, I don't get irritated by the cold. Rather the cool air is simply refreshing. Wolves typically run hot, much hotter than a normal human anyways. So the cool air was much appreciated.I could tell the time had finally come, as I felt every bone in my body come to attention. It was as if my entire body had gone on high alert. I could feel everything inside me burn. It was as if acid was running through my veins. I collapsed to the ground, my knees on the ground as my face bent down. As I tried to compose myself. I focused o
It's been two months since my sixteenth birthday. I wish I could say that my restlessness died once I met my wolf; however, that never happened. If anything, it almost made things worse.Ever since my wolf revealed that I had already found my mate, my thoughts soon became flooded, wanting to know where she was. She looked younger than me by about four years, which would mean that she wouldn't know about the mate bond. However, one thing plagued my mind. The necklace. It was a gesture that a lover would do. Not just a good friend.I'm friends with many of the pack wolves. However, there isn't anyone that I would ever go to the extent of making such a special gift for. That doesn't make me a cold person. Rather, I would get my friends something simple. A toy or item that they had desired, perhaps a dinner out, or hosting a party. Not once would I get them a gift that came directly from my heart.Which would only mean one thing. She must know who we are.'But how's that possible?' I ask
"Bleh!" I shout as the foreign liquid begins to burn my throat. Sticking my tongue out in disgust. It was so strong that I'm sure my face resembled someone that took a shot of screech for the first time. "What the hell was that?" I ask."Does it even matter?" He asks.Honestly, probably not. If anything, I don't think I even want to know what exactly that was. "Whatever. But I don't feel any different." I say."I thought you said that it should help recover some of my memories." I said.He looks at me curiously. It also seems that he's just as confused as me as to why this didn't work."Hmm." The man suddenly turns away from me and grabs a large book from under the counter. My eyes continue to follow his every move, not sure what to expect next."Mhmm... Hmm... Huh..." The man says, mumbling to himself. I see an expression of surprise cross his brows. However, he carefully switches his face to appear as if nothing's wrong. Making me curious as to what he was thinking then.After a
...Wynter POV...It's been four years since I last saw Darius. Each second away from him has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. My heart constantly felt like it was on fire. I knew it was because of the mate bond. There was no denying it. I felt my heart constantly pulling me to go back to him. Regardless of how bad the pain got, I knew I couldn't do that. If I went back, it would only be putting Darius' life at risk. Something I couldn't and wouldn't do. I would much rather take a bullet than ever see Darius hurt because of me.After my encounter with Alpha Xander, I ran back to my pack, and together we packed everything up and moved that night. My pack and I relocated to Europe directly after everything happened. Calista had connections near the Black Sword pack in England. She said it used to be her pack before she had gone rogue. I don't know why she never returned to them, instead of staying rogue, but I guess it was just a pride thing. Calista was a very pridef
...Darius POV...Just as Asher had anticipated, the spell worked. We found out that she was now in the UK. I had told Kenji about this, and we both looked to find a way to go there. Since we were still in the middle of high school, I knew my parents would forbid me from going. I had considered appealing to them by explaining that I wanted to go to find my mate. But at the last second, I had thought against it. My mom would say just whatever my Dad said, and my Dad would be the last one to let me go, especially if concerned, my mate. I don't think it's because he's against me finding a mate, but rather he feels that a pack is stronger if an Alpha chooses a mate instead. He believes that mates only weaken us. Should we come under attack, I would be more concerned over the safety of my mate and put the safety of the pack at risk. I understood his beliefs. However, I tried to stay positive about the mate bond. I won't lie and say it was easy. Whoever had compelled me had done a good job
After I left my dad's office, I ran down the hallway and directly to my room, mind linking Kenji along the way.'We did it, Ken! My father agreed to let us go!' 'Sweet! So when do we leave.' He asks.'Within the hour.' I state, rummaging through my closet, for things that I'll need during the trip.'What? Are you nuts? Genesis will have my balls if I tell her I'm leaving with such short notice.' He remarks, sounding pissed.'Hey. You were the one that volunteered to come. You had more than enough notice. It's not my fault you didn't tell her earlier.' I state, showing no compassion. Why would I? He knows how important this is to me. He also knows that I'll go with or without him, so he doesn't have time to doddle.'Come on, man..' Kenji says, attempting to make me sympathize with him.'Sorry, but it won't work. You know how important this is to me. You can either come or stay. I won't mind either way. But I'm going, and I'll be leaving at 5 pm sharp.' I say, cutting the mind link.I
