Alex
Since they dropped the truth about me, I can't seem to sleep. I've been tossing and turning. I'm a hybrid like mom. A lycan, vampire, and nephilim.
I sighed. Then I remembered Zab. I haven't seen her in days.
'Mate! Mate! Mate!'
I abruptly sit up when I heard my lycan chant in my head.
'What?!'
'Mate! Want Mate!!!!'
I cringed at his constant whining.
'Will you stop whining! 'I told him.
'No! Want mate!' He barked.
I sighed. This lycan is stubborn.
'Can you at least tell me your name? If you have any.'
'Massimo.'
'Nice to meet you then. I'm Alex.' I told him.
He ignored me and continued to whine. I groaned.
'Fine. What do you want?' I asked him.
'I want mate. Mate scared. Comfort mate.' He said.
I furrowed my eyebrows.
'But we haven't met our mate yet.' I told him.
I felt him pace in my head, still whining.
'No! Mate is here! She needs us! '
I sighed and decided to comply with my whiny lycan. I got out of bed and left my room. I sniffed around trying to smell any intoxicating scent.
The search didn't take long, since I got a whiff of jasmine and lemon. But that scent took me outside my sister's room.
I felt like I was compelled that I just opened the door and walked right in. Inside I saw her huddled in the corner of her room, crying.
I felt my heart broke when I saw her tear stained face. I rushed towards her and pulled in my arms.
"Sshhhh...I'm here. "I cooed.
She buried her face in my chest, and sparks and tingles shot through our skin.
'MATE!'
I still can't believe it. Zab, the girl I knew all my life as my sister is my mate.
I sighed and savor the feeling of my mate in my arms.
"Alex I'm scared..." I heard her whisper.
"Don't worry Zab. I'm here now. I'll protect you." I said and kissed her head.
Ever since she was kidnapped by rogues a few years ago, she often has these nightmares. She would always wake up in the middle of the night, screaming at the top of her lungs. She would cry and cry until I held her. That's the only time she'll be able to go back to sleep.
This one was one of her episodes. I rocked her until I noticed her evened breathing. I picked her up and carried her towards her bed. I laid her on it before climbing in, and laid down beside her. I played with the locks of her hair while she wrapped her arm over my waist.
I can't help but smile while watching her sleep. I finally understood. I understood why I am very protective of her. I understood why I'm easily ticked off when other boys gave her attention, even a mere glance. I was jealous. So jealous that I want her for myself only.
I understood now. Because my baby sister is my mate....
