The King's Hybrid Mate

The Black Moon Clan

I feel stuck and tired. I've been in one place for a long time. Where am I, the darkroom? Robert’s darkroom, that room is full of horror and I feel trapped. I hate feeling that way.

“Doctor something is going on,” someone's panicked voice resounds. Who are they?

“The machine was beeping loudly,” the voices are far and I don’t recognize any of them oh great now am panicking

' Relax Aurora,' I know that voice that’s my wolf!

' You're around? I thought you left me,' Storm goes quiet.

I’ve been trying to open my eyes for what seems to be like forever and it’s so frustrating, what happened to storm. Has she left?

I feel someone stroking my hair, It's nice and I'm calm.

“Amazing, she’s calm now," I hear the same voices every day, a woman, and other male voices.

“ Have you noticed the tattoo on her neck?" Someone says.

“What tattoo?” a male voice asks, Someone gently lifts my head to show my birthmark. It’s a golden crown, around it is a crescent symbol, my father said it’s very unique.

“ It’s the color of her hair and it’s more visible,” the man says I don’t know the voice I hear faint different voices

“Aurora…Aurora,” another repeatedly says my name in a whisper, his voice is soothing, the one voice I love to hear among all. It’s husky soft and deep. Unfortunately, I don’t hear it as much as the others.

...

My wolf is getting stronger, I relax and breathe, trying to open my eyes slowly but the bright light forces me to close them, it takes a while to adjust, and when I do I take in my surrounding. I'm in a cozy room, It's huge and nice.

My wolf senses three people outside not far from the room. The room has huge windows, and a tall ceiling, it is fully furnished. There are three huge doors that I assume lead to the bathroom or a balcony. The room has a big flat screen and a long white sofa. I turn my neck I wince in pain, the door abruptly opens and three people walk in.

“Aurora,” A tall woman smiles, brushing my hair with my fingers. She has short hair and a pretty face.

The woman asks if I need anything, she's talking so fast and I don't get the chance to answer, she retreats from me and stands a bit further, and I take this time to observe her.

" I'm Gaby!" She says happily.

Gaby has a lean and tan skin body, one can tell she works out.

" Aurora, do you need anything?" A tall handsome male asks. I'm taken back by how handsome he is. He has high cheekbones, manly features, and bronze hair that match his blue eyes. He is putting on a black attire that shows his abs in the tight shirt. I touch my throat. It feels dry.

" Water," I croak. Gaby quickly gives me water. I drink it.

“I am Alexander Alarie,” The handsome man says.

I search my head as to where I know the name. The black moon is run by two ruthless young men named the Alarie brothers. They are the strongest wolf in Crescent Stone city.

I ask surprised and he nods.

“ Black moon pack?" I ask timidly. They nod and I widen my eyes.

The black moon is very notorious and doesn't let outsiders in their territory.

“How long was I out for?” I ask Gaby.

“A month,” she answers, I widen my eyes. She starts to explain what happened, they conducted surgeries and I fell into a deep sleep.

“What is this place?” I ask.

“ A penthouse?” Gaby chuckles, before she opens her mouth to speak again, Alexander beats her to it.

“We thought you'd be safer here, one of your attackers got away but don’t worry, our men are looking for him,” Alexander explains gently

"She would still be safe with ten high trained warriors stationed at the door to her hospital room," Gaby says.

" You know how he couldn't risk it," Alexander sighs. Who couldn't?

' why did they help us?' Storm asks suddenly.

“Why did you help us, i mean me?” I voice looking straight at Alexander, he looks like the boss here.

“ Because you're my elder brother's mate,” he says with his usual gentle smile. I widen my eyes, is he crazy? Is this a joke, I'm the king’s mate?

“It can’t be. I don't want a mate," I say firmly. " There's a mistake, how does he know that because doesn't recognize anyone,"

“ He saw you at a club a few days ago and begun to search.“

A mind takes me back to beautiful grey eyes. could it be him? “ Dark grey eyes,” I whisper and they sigh, smiling.

“Yes,”

"Ares," I breathe.

"Ares?" They ask in unison. Alexander smiles again.

“My wolf didn’t recognize him as mine,” I tell them

“Maybe it’s because of the Wolfsbane and whatever medication the doctors found in your blood. No wonder it’s taking you quite some time to heal,” Gaby explains, I nod and my mind takes me back to Ares.

‘NO, you can’t reject our mate, 'my wolf cries, she wants him we don’t even know the guy. I roll my eyes internally at her.

‘ who are you to tell me what to do? You’ve been gone over a year,' I respond annoyed but I know it was not her fault but I wanted her with me, I missed her so much.

“well, I don’t want a mate now because I'm busy so if you can just give me my bag if you got it, I’ll appreciate it and be on my way,” I smile tightly but they all look at me like I have grown two more heads.

“What?” Gaby booms.

“You can’t leave, “ Ash says, he's the youngest one and was introduced to me as Gaby's cousin. Ash is very tall and muscular for a twenty-year-old. He is handsome with a strong jawline and shiny dark hair. His voice is deep and soft.

“Are you going to kidnap me?” I ask.

They chuckle nervously but don’t answer, they will hold me against my will! great Aurora why does this always happen to me?

“Think this through, my brother can’t lose you again, he’ll go crazy, " his voice is begging. I almost feel bad for them but it’s for their good, I'm thinking about the coven and how will the wolves react once they find out I'm a hybrid.

Alexander approaches me.

“ Aurora, can you tell us about yourself?"

I look at each one of them and Alexander's usual smile is back. I nod at last and say.

“Name is Aurora Sultana, I am seventeen years old,” I use my mother’s last name, if I use Wulfric they might know, most of them knew or heard about my dad and will be curious to know more and I don’t want them to know my connection to the silver-blue moon pack.

“Is that all?” I keep quiet for a while debating on how much I can tell them without giving away my identity " Are you still in school?" I nod

“I am a supermodel, I travel a lot,"

“ you have time to study and model?” Ash asks curiously holding his chin.

“Yes, I do online courses and only go to university when I have to.” He nods

“I don’t have a permanent residence since I travel around for work,” I tell the truth, I’ve never stayed in one place for more than three months.

“oh good no permanent resident, you can stay here,” Gaby suggest. I furrow my eyebrows

“My brother got it for you,” Alexander smiles.

“What? No, I can’t, "

“You can stay here, we have not found the man who attacked you,” Gaby is right, I need to lie low and get the base off my back. I'm sure Robert is feeling very vindictive for ruining his plans.

“Did you find a cell phone?” I ask.

“Yes, they are on the dresser," Gaby gives me my phone and I open it, I smile when I see my brother's picture on my lock screen.

Alexander and the siblings are watching, they are mind linking. werewolves talk telepathically to people in the same clan as them but I can do that with any wolf I meet because of my royal blood

I sigh and text my family and friends.

* Safe, we’ll talk later*

I watch the videos my friends sent me, I miss having fun with them, traveling so much has perks, I have friends now.

Gaby talks about modeling, she asks about my interests. I can tell Alexander and Ash are listening attentively as well, I tell them countries I’ve visited and what I like about them, and my love for the ocean.

Gaby is about to say something when she freezes. Ash looks tense and my heart starts to beat fast, my wolf howls with happiness, I can feel him close, my mate is here.
