Hybrid Prince

16th Birthday

Zab

It’s my birthday today. I'm excited! I'm going to meet my mate! Finally! And then I'll be able to shift. Well, female lycans can only shift when they found they're mate. I hope, he'll be in my party tonight.

I went into the kitchen and saw mom and my siblings having breakfast. But there was no Alex.

"Good morning mom, Creon, twins." I greeted them

Mom smiled at me and gave me a plate of pancakes.

"Good morning sweetheart. Happy birthday." She said and kissed my head.

The twins gagged, and I just laughed at them, taking my seat.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Mom asked.

I looked down at my plate and nodded.

"What made you think you'll find your mate tonight?"

I heard Creon asked.

We all looked at him.

"I mean, mom found dad after 900 years. You could take a millennium." Creon added.

Mom glared at him. He just shrugged.

"What? I'm curious."

"He's right mom." I said.

Mom sighed.

"I just knew you'll meet him tonight. Or you already met him." She said and left.

Leaving us dumbfounded.

What does she mean by that?

When the night came, I was dressed in my red dress, my head was set in a natural wave, my make-up was natural. The decorations in the castle’s garden were perfect. The guests are slowly arriving. Everything was perfect.

But one.

I haven't seen Alex seen yesterday. It’s bothering me. First, he's been acting like an ass, ignoring me, and now, he's missing in action.

I was pulled from my thoughts when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Creon came in.

"Wow. You look pretty Zab." He said.

I gave him a small smile. He scratched the back of his head and gave me shy smile.

"Look, I'm sorry about what I said this morning about your mate." He said.

I smiled at him.

"It’s alright. What are you doing here anyway?" I asked him.

"Oh, I'm here to escort you to your party." He said.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Escort me? But Alex supposed to escort me."

"Ouch. I feel the love sister. But Alex cannot escort you. He..ugh.. He hasn't returned yet."

"What?!"

I suddenly felt concerned. I didn't know he's not here, or that he left!

"Don't worry. I heard he's with lady Amara. He might be gone for a few days or weeks or months. Come on. They're waiting for you. “He said and held his hand to me.

I nodded and took his hand. He led me downstairs, towards the garden where the party is being held. The entire whole my thoughts were in Alex. Thinking about him, if he's safe or whatever.

When we arrived at the party. The garden was transformed into a pretty outdoor party. Fairy lights everywhere, there are couches instead of plain chairs for everyone to sit on. There was a make shift stage and a ling buffet table, with desert bar.

I was greeted by my parents, the pack and coven, the council, my friends, and the guests that consists of alphas and other high ranking wolves from different packs and coven leaders

I was greeted by my parents, the pack and coven, the council, my friends, and the guests that consist of alphas and other high ranking wolves from different packs and coven leaders.

But sadly, no sign of Alex still.

I sighed and walked around thanking each and every one for celebrating with us. I slid off the people when everything is just overwhelming. My friends joined me.

"So, have you found your mate?" Shine asked.

I sighed and shook my head. They frowned and patted my shoulder.

"Don't worry. He'll come around. In time." Chelsea said.

"I don't think about it now. I'm worried about Alex. He's not home yet. I don't know, but it bothered me that he's not here, on my birthday." I told them.

"Maybe, Alex needs time to think, since he's been really an ass lately." Chelsea said inspecting her nails.

"She's right. For all we know he's just with some girl f*****g her brains out." Brielle said.

I snapped my head towards her. For some reason I didn't like what she said. I could hear growling inside my head.

"Yeah. You could be right, or doing whatever assholes do this day." Chelsea added.

I couldn't take it anymore. Something in me snapped. I growled at them, and threw them on the ground with my telekinetic powers.

"You have no right to talk about Alex that way!! He can't be with other she wolf!! He's mine!!" I heard myself told them in a menacing voice that sent shivers down my spine.

I saw the three of them whimpered and submit.

"Now get out of my sight!!"

"Yes princess.” They said in unison, then scampered away with they're head in submission.

I felt raw anger boiled in the pit of my stomach. The sudden need of Alex is overwhelming. I want to see him. I want to hold him. But why? Why did I snap at my friends like that?

'Mate! Go to mate! Find mate!'

I heard a female voice inside my head.

'Who are you?' I asked the voice.

'I'm Alessa, your lycan.'

My lycan?

'Please, find mate. I need mate. Mate needs us.' She whined.

'Mate? I have a mate? Who?' I asked.

Then an image of Alex suddenly pops in my mind.

'Mate! Mate! Mate!'

Oh s**t!

*O*
