Her Hybrid Alpha (book 2)

      BOOK ONE TO THIS BOOK IS HER VAMPIRE PRINCE by Stacey Golds , this isn't a stand alone book      "I'm mated to a freaking Hybrid Alpha" I laugh at her remark, but inside fear and anxiety churned at my stomach. I'd felt lost for years never knowing where I truly belonged. Even though I was here on paws , Mathew and Cage bowing at me I still felt lost. They called me by the name Shawn,  but who is Shawn. I didn't know him, would I even like him. Eyes where staring at me waiting for my next move, the truth was I didn't know it. My body felt different lighter, free and more agile.  Looking around the room I looked at my brother, his face was tense he'd stand with me no matter what . but our dynamic had just changed. Walking past Anya I head to Dante , he steps away from Sophie stepping forward. Looking up into his eyes,  he knows what I need,  time to process time to think. " Everyone we will be back soon " he says nodding at me. I head out the room turning back I look at Anya , she has an hurt look on her face. To her I'll be choosing Dante to comfort me in my distress. But it wasn't like that , it wasn't about comfort it was about having somone call me on my s**t and tell me what I needed to hear. Through our link that I hope still works the same I send a message that I love her. She smiles and tells me she loves me back. " Go on I understand " she says when I hesitate. I don't want to hurt her a soft " I know " comes through turning I follow after Dante. We head for his office , vampires that are in the castle know that the danger is gone so they  stop and stare. It's not everyday you see a wolf walking through the castle. We ignore them and keep walking , when where in the safety of Dantes office he props himself against his desk looking at me.  " Are you going to change back , unless you've forgotten I can't talk to animals " he laughs but it sounds tight. The thing is I don't know how to change back , I start pacing and visualising myself as a human well vampire but it doesn't work. I start growling , growing impatient. " Darius calm down and stop still. It can't be that hard" I snap in his direction with my teeth and snarl at him. He holds his hands up smirking in a surrender, his face dosen't look very apologetic to me though. But he's right being agitated won't help anyone , so I sit down on my haunches and breath deep . The first transition had killed , I'd heard off of wolves before that the first few do. Taking deep breaths, I imagine my body turning back,  my fur disappearing and flesh showing. I imagine my vision turning from yellow to clear. Inhaling a deep breath i open my eyes to see Dante looking at me his eyes a little wide. Looking down I see pink flesh hands and feet with no fur. Dante points to his cupboard , looking down again I see I'm butt naked. Quickly getting up and throwing the doors open. I throw on some clothes,  when I come back out Dante is sat at his desk. He doesn't say anything , so I go to pour us both a drink from the bar making them neat and triples. " Darius or should I call you Shawn now" he grins trying to make the mood lighter. I flip him the bird and sit down. " Darius is just fine thankyou " I say taking a seat. Man I feel like I hadn't even come down from the fight yet , then this added ontop. I'd feared for a minute we was dead I'd thought my life with my mate was going to be short lived. " this is f****d up man , we should be celebrating with our mates. Finally settling down and enjoying life now this". I shot my drink back standing up. " I mean if it wasn't for Arakas we'd all be f****d dead now probably who'd have thought , we would end up grateful of a f*****g demon". I'm rambling fixating on anything but my own truths. I think it's because I don't belive it that I can finally see where I come from , who I actually am. With everything I'd heard about the packs so far though, the history of it all and what happened to my parents. It wasn't going to be a happy story. " Darius this doesn't change anything you know that right,  yes your now a hybrid and you can find out about your family. But if that's all you take from this that's all you take from it. You don't have to go take the pack back, this is your home and we are  your family." Walking over to the bar i fill my glass back up. " You've heard how the pack is run, how f****d up it is how can I leave the pack members to live like that when I could change it. I could remove those two idiots from power. But it means I'd have to leave here Anya has already told me she will support me. But the girls are so close it will kill her to be away from them". " They are also witches Darius,  who can zip all over creation if they wished. The girls isn't the problem. That Bridie doesn't sound like she will go easy. s**t man where all tierd we need a break. But we will be by you no matter what." He laughs rubbing his neck, " can we just take a few days first man". I smile at him " Yea we can, I think this should stay between our group for now. I want to know everything first and do recon. We need to sort the kingdoms out too one problem at a time brother ". He lifts his drink " I'll drink to that brother, Darius ". I look up at him from my drink his face has a tinge of sadness again. " you'll always be Darius to me, you'll always be my brother and this your home no matter if your now an over sized dog ". Anya's in our room when I go looking for her, the castle was quiet everyone searching solitude and peace after the months we'd had. She's sat at the window seat looking out, the view was once a small village and then the forest now it was a city for vampires. Going over to her I sit across from her. Our mating had been rough, she hadn't wanted to accept it. The change in her life or anything, she had been distant and cold. But now we was finding our way, Anya was refinding herself . My strong headed mate who had her life on a timetable, had to let that all go. Accept there was things about her that she couldn't control that fact she was a witch looked at as a leader by all other witches.  Her bestfriends and sisters mated to vampires one now mated to the King of all Vampires. The fact she yearned to submit and give up power to me sexualy. We'd discovered the 24/7 life wasn't for her so we had adjusted. Now I was the supposed Alpha of the Hybrids, where did that leave us how would it effect our lives I don't know. She looks across at me her brown eyes tierd " we will do it together " she says reading my mind through our  link. I couldn't love my mate more she was perfect for me in every way. " I love you Anya " she smiles and crawls over curling her long limbs up on my knee. " I love you too , Darius tomorrow when we take my parents back home I'd like you to properly meet them".  Her body relaxes against mine her breathing evening out as she falls asleep. I hold her close for a while looking out of the window in my own thoughts. My mind was going crazy enough that I know I won't sleep tonight. Carefully I stand up and lay her down in bed covering her up. She rolls over searching the bed for me, she gives up quickly though exhaustion taking over. Quietly I head out of the room my feet taking me in the direction of Cage's room. Standing outside his door I just stare at it not knocking.  He's probably asleep with his mate , I shouldn't be waking him. As I'm turning to leave the door opens Cage stood there, he looks back at the bed and I see Valerie is sound asleep. He comes out , closing the door behind him and gestures with his head to follow him. He pauses outside of another door and within minutes Mathew comes out,  pulling a shirt over his head. We all walk down the hall to the elevators it's weird how they just sense me here they always have I'm guessing now it's stronger I'll have to ask. We find ourselves at the pool side sat against the bar a bottle of whiskey infront of us. Dante shows up minutes later, looking thoroughly f****d out a peaceful smile on his face. We are all quiet for a while it's Cage that speaks up first " Darius you don't know the whole story, I think its time you should. I've told you how my grandfather killed your parents. How your grandparents took you and ran , that my grandfather hunted you and couldn't find you. He told the pack you was dead that he'd slaughtered you. He knew the pack would come hunting for you , your family was loved. What I didn't tell you is my grandfather is your grandfather also he killed his own son to take over the pack it was your mums parents that stole you away to save you. We are family Shawn this whole thing that happened was one big family feud or just the ficked up ego of a narcissistic prick that ruined us all , our grandfather wasn't always that way I don't think but he turned into one nasty piece of work ".
