A scream rips through my lips as pain radiates through my body. I can't feel anything just pain from the punishment I received. A layer of sweat covers my body as I reach behind to feel my back that's been torn apart, blood rushing out from the wounds I received. I lift my hand to feel my face is swollen, my nose bleeding and lips split open. Tears running down my face and blurring my vision. The floor around me is covered in my blood. I hear footsteps approach and turn my gaze to the man approaching me a wide sadistic smile on his lips.

"Please I'm sorry." I plead tears rushing down my face and onto my lap.

I see him lift his fist and feel as it connects to my jaw. My face whips to the side and I know my jaw is broken, my body collapses to the floor. Darkness takes over my eyesight and I feel a hard kick to my chest, then my stomach and I know I'm not far from passing out. Another kick to my face and I'm taken by the darkness. Thankful that I can't feel anything anymore.

My name is Cassandra Wright I'm 18 years old and this is my story, my life.

I am from the Crescent moon pack or should I say I was until I had to run for my life. The Crescent moon pack is one of the largest packs in America and has some of the strongest warriors. My father is a werevolve and the Alpha of the pack my mother was something different a hybrid vampire-witch. And what does that make me you wonder I'm one of a kind a werewolve, witch and vampire. I'm a tribrid.

I am one of the strongest supernatural beings alive so why do I run for my live. Well because I can't control any of my abilities I was never taught how to. I'm scared of myself and what I'm capable of when I lose control.

I have mayor anxiety not just because I can't control any of my abilities but also because I was abused for a whole year and I have huge anxiety attacks often. And when I have an anxiety attack all hell breaks loose.

I have been having nightmares for the last two years now. It all started the day after I turned sixteen the day I received my first punishment. The day I turned sixteen everything changed my life as I knew it gone in a blink of an eye. It's the day my mother died. She wasn't murdered no, she killed herself so that I can live and be happy. But little did she know that was never an option for me as I paid the price of her death ever since.

My Alpha, also known as dad, took her death hard and he took his anger out on me. The day after my sixteenth birthday the punishments started I was abused by my own father because he blamed me for my mother's death.

My father abused me for a year and on my seventeenth birthday he succeeded in killing me which awoken my vampire side.

I was born with Alpha werevolve genes from my father's side and witch and vampire genes from my mother's side. When one is born with vampire genes it can only be awoken when a person dies. The witch part of my genes is a while different story, one I never knew about until my mother told me on my sixteenth birthday. And I wished I never had those genes because my mother would still be alive.

*Flashback*

A knock on my door awoke me and I groaned pulling the covers over my face. A soft knock sounded again and the door creaked open my mother's voice filled the air.

" Honey are you awake?" she asks softly.

" No let me sleep a little longer." I groaned pushing MG face into the pillow.

" Honey there is something I need to tell you it's important. I'll wait downstairs in the kitchen for you." she replied softly.

I sat up and saw my mother's eyes filled with pain and concern. What the hell?

"What's wrong?" I croaked out.

" OH honey it's nothing to big I'll tell you downstairs. Happy birthday my angel." mom says while kissing the top of my head. She turns on her heel and heads out the door closing it softly behind her.

I got up from bed and got dressed immediately I need to know what's going on. I pulled on a black t-shirt and Jean shorts with sneakers and head downstairs.

As I approach the kitchen I heard my mother and father with hushed voices. Seriously this is starting to freak me out a bit. I walk into the kitchen and silence immediately fills the air.

" What did you want to tell me?" I asked as I took a seat at the kitchen counter.

I'm starting to get nervous the look in my parents eyes are nerve wrecking. We stare at each other for what feels like hours and my mom breaks the silence.

" Honey I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to blurt it out." she says and I nod for her to continue.

" Well you know I am a witch and a vampire and your father a werevolve. You on the other hand are all three." she says watching my face intently. All three? How the fuck is that possible? My shock is keeping my mouth shut and my mom takes it as a cue to continue.

" You will get your wolf tonight before midnight ends and with that you will receive my magical powers. The vampire side of your genes can only be awoken if you die because vampires are basically dead. I don't want you to die and awake your vampire side it's not easy to be a vampire let alone one with magical powers. The magic that runs in our family is one of a grave curse. There can only ever be one member of the family who carries the power and the power must be given to the next in line when they turn sixteen. My gift for you is my magical power " my mind is racing I am so shocked I don't know what to say, what to think, what to feel. I'm overwhelmed with emotions and information.

" In order for me to give my magic to you I need to die that's the only way power can be given away." mom continues. Wait what?

" What?" I yelled not believing what she just said I shake my head I don't want this.

" Honey it's the only way you can get my power." she says as calm as a cucumber. Is my mother secretly insane that she doesn't even blink when talking about her death?

" No I don't want your power I don't want you to die." I screamed at her. How the fuck does she even think I'll want this?

" Cassandra you don't have a choice you will get my power and that's final." she snaps back at me. Her face is emotionless her eyes empty as if she's already dead. And then it hits me her vampire side took over that only happens when mom had a panic attack. Mom always struggled to control her magic and her vampire side when she lost control of her magic she will let her vampire side take over. Which wasn't better her vampire side was ruthless and unhinged. She does things without thinking it through just like now.

" Mom please I beg you I don't want your power I don't want you to die for me." I plead tears blurring my vision I get up from my chair and make my way to my mom I need her to feel something anything to put her vampire side away. I learned quickly not to ask her to put that side away as she just got extremely pissed off so I found another way anytime I would hug her her vampire side retreats instantly.

As I stand infront of her trying to pull her to me she grabs me and throws me against the wall. Everything happens so fast my father tries to grab her but she pushes him away. And as I lift my head from the floor I see her fist slam into her chest and pulls out her heart. A scream fills the room and blood coats her hand and the floor. She falls to her knees eyes wide open and her heart falls from her hand onto the floor. I feel my tears run down my face and a jolt of power washes through me it's so strong it plunge me into darkness.
