A Hybrids Tale, Love and lust

chapter 2

Hunter's pov

"You could at least pretend to look like your happy to be here" I turn my head to look at my Beta Dom, he was sat looking at me smirking.

"And why would I do that, I can't stand talking to that weasel Derek on the phone let alone actually being here in person".

Dom chuckled to himself.

Turning to look out of the window as the car came to a stop, I heard Dom grunting beside me. "look at the state of this place, you know you would think he would have made an effort."

Looking around, Dom wasn't wrong in what he was saying, it was far from homely. The windows had seen better days, the two large brown front doors could do with another lick of paint. Rubbish bags and boxes were strewn all over the place, from the outside you would think the place was abandoned.

There was nobody here, where was everyone? Back home you couldn't step one foot out of the main house without seeing at least a dozen people working or training.

"Yes well, Let's get this over with shall we? I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be" I grumbled as we both exit the car together, hearing the slow creaking sound of the two large front doors opening, Derek walked out with his entourage behind him, looking as smug as ever, he has one of them faces that just screamed `punch me.

"Welcome, Alpha Hunter, Beta Dominic, I hope your trip was a pleasant one?" Standing before us Derek extends his arm and shakes my hand then does the same to Dom.

"I have no complaints, let's get straight to it shall we, I would like to make it back home before dark" I had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with this poor excuse of a man, I never knew what it was about him but I just had a strange feeling something was off about him.

"Of course, Alpha Hunter, please, follow me, the staff has prepared food and beverages for you both, I hope they are to your liking."

"Sweet" Dom answered, This man loved his food more than anything. If it was the end of the world he would still stop for a sandwich.

We had been sitting here for what seemed like hours. I look at my watch, 39 minutes had passed, "great" I sigh to myself, I leaned back turned to my right, and looked at Dom. He's already piled his plate high, about to dig in, every time a maid walks passed us he was eyeing them seeing what they have on their trays.

"Hungry," I asked sarcastically

"Well, a certain person didn't wake me up on the plane, I missed lunch!" he quietly tried to defend himself.

"God forbid" I rolled my eyes at him, this man is the closest thing I have to a brother. He has stood by me through thick and thin, so who am I to stand between him and his food, that would probably be a fight I would not win!

As I sit listening to Derek drone on about the increase in rogue attacks, There was shouting coming from outside, Suddenly one of the maids came running in, as she reached Derek she whispered into his ear "We have a problem, The girl has escaped, it looks like she had help from Michelle, she's in the forest somewhere". Derek looks straight at me, All the color drained from his face, pondering over the fact of if I heard what was being whispered to him, I pretend I know nothing and reach for my drink, taking another sip.

"If you will please excuse me and my men" He nodded his head at his men and then towards the door, "An issue has come up that needs my immediate attention"

"Anything we could help you with" I offered.

"Oh... er.... no, you both sit, stay in here you.... erm....well please enjoy the food, Margaret will be here, anything else you need please don't hesitate to ask." As he gestured towards an older-looking lady standing by the kitchen door. he mutters "keep them here!" with that, he swiftly exits the hall.

we are left in silence, myself and Dom both looking at each other knowing Derek was up to something. "I think he wants us to stay here," Dom said sarcastically looking at the woman in the corner of the room.

"Did you hear, someone had escaped" I whispered leaning over to Dom.

"Of course I heard, the whole room heard it, it was hardly a whisper, she may as well of announced it as she entered the room! it's maybe just a rogue". Dom answered, carefully finishing off the last of a chicken leg.

"Now why on earth would one single rogue need all them men, plus an alpha to take it down?" I asked.

" Yeah, your right, Something's just not adding up, Derek has been on edge since we arrived, I don't trust him!" Dom agreed.

" That makes two of us, well I'm going to find out what's happening so we can leave, I don't want to be here a second more than I have to be."

As we make our way through the forest following the sent of Derek and his men, I'm hit with another smell, Vanilla with a slight hint of chocolate is the only way to describe it, as I slowly inhale to take it all in, it gives me goosebumps, my heart quickens, suddenly I'm hit with another smell, it was the scent of fresh blood, a surge of panic sent straight through my body, the vanilla scent was still here getting stronger the more I kept walking towards it, the more the smell of blood overpowered it. I had started to feel restless, the burning sensation I was beginning to feel in my chest began to overpower my whole body,

"You smell that?" Dom asked quietly.

"Yeah, the bloods getting stronger, we're close to it, I can't work out that vanilla smell though, I've never smelt it before have you? it's making me feel strange"

"Vanilla?" Dom asked looking at me confused.

"You can't smell that? It's quite overpowering, it hit me before the blood did" I said confused as to why he couldn't pick it up.

"You know what..." Dom was cut short when we heard Derek shout. "Enough" we slowly walked over to a ledge looking down onto the forest floor, we see Derek, and his men, most were laid on the floor some holding parts of their bodies in pain others dead, blood everywhere from what I can tell they have had their throats ripped out.

"Jeez, look at that! I think it's safe to say that is no rogue, I wonder wh......"

It was then I saw her, being dragged from the floor by her long red hair and thrown against a tree, standing with her back against the tree, I see her long red hair just reaching her waist. her soft white pale skin looked smooth to the touch, granted she was quite dirty but I could still see she had no imperfections, Even though her hair covered most of her face, I could see she had blood around her mouth slowly dripping from her chin to her chest, surely this small woman was not the cause of all of this chaos?

Derek threw a punch at her, I watched as she ducked down dodging it with ease, with Derek's Alpha strength and speed, she still dodged him, she was fast! She must also have alpha blood in her, there is no way any normal Lycan could possess the speed and agility to do all of this, then take on an alpha.

As the trunk of the tree is smashed away, Derek pulls back his fist once more, as the woman raises herself, standing tall against Derek. I see the look on her face, not fear, but one of determination, she was ready to go in for the kill, "s**t" I had to stop this now, the pull I felt to go to her, to help her, I just had to get her away from him!

Before I knew it I was by her side, I caught Derek's fist in my hand before any more could happen.

"I think this meeting is over Alpha Derek!" I said sternly, slowly releasing his fist.

He held his fist with his other hand gently massaging his knuckles, he looked to the ground, "I-i'm sorry, there was an emergency one of our prisoners escaped we were just taking her back but...."

"Yes, I see that, I also see why you would need my protection for your pack. When a simple girl can take down so many of, and I use this word lightly BEST warriors with such speed and......."

It was at this moment, that the overpowering scent of vanilla hit my nostrils once more, I turned to take in all her beauty despite the blood around her mouth. her face was fit for an angel, looking into her eyes, I saw before me something only I am too familiar with, the black eyes, the pulsating black veins shooting around her face down her neck, she's like me, I had thought I was the only one of my kind left, but here she is standing before me I couldn't believe my eyes, as she stood staring at me I see the blackness slowly starting to fade bringing back the most vibrant bright green eyes I had ever seen.

"Dom, take her to the car," I say not taking my eyes away from hers.

"I think we can take it from here, no need to worry yourselves over someone like her" Derek was starting to panic, he looked between me and the girl.

"She's coming with me! end of discussion" I say clenching my teeth.

He stumbled forward in an attempt to grab her, lunging forward I grabbed his throat making sure she was safely behind me, I could feel myself letting go, the burning in my chest ready to make an appearance. I had to calm myself I couldn't lose control now. "I will tell you one last time, the girl is coming with me" I look around at Derek and what few men he had left "if anyone here has any sort of problem with me doing so, speak now!"

Silence...."Just as I thought" I release Derek knocking him back a couple of feet "I'll be in touch"

The car journey was silent, I see her shifting in her seat, looking around out of each window, I sat in the back with her, and I can see Dom in his rearview mirror giving me the occasional glance, widening his eyes as if he is telling me to say something to her.

I reach for a small pack of wipes handing them to her. "here"

"Thankyou" she answered softly.

"That's ok" I look back at Dom in the mirror as if to say `there I did something' I watched her out the corner of my eye slowly pulling out a wipe to clean her face she then wiped her hands carefully rubbing the wipe between her small delicate fingers which should not have been able to possess the strength needed to m******e those men.

"Thank you for helping me back there, I'm Trinity" She said.

"No problem, I'm Hunter and this is Dominic" gesturing a small head nod towards Dom.

"Just Dom, only my mother calls my Dominic, usually when I'm in trouble," he said with a grin on his face.

She smiled, I couldn't help but notice her little dimples and perfect white teeth, the most perfect smile for the most perfect face for the most per....... god what is wrong with me. `Hunter gets a grip` i consciously say to myself.

I see her eyeing all the buttons on the back of the centre console, she presses one to roll down her window, maybe some air would clear her head it's quite stuffy in her after all, as I turn to look out of my window it slowly opens letting a gust of wind plummet around the car, "Oh sorry" she said in a quiet tone.

"It's ok" I say as I pressed the button to put my window back up.

I saw her looking again after a few minutes boredom has struck her once again, reaching for another button, she watches a small tv lowers in front of her. "Wow" she whispers to herself, `god this is going to be a long-ass journey if she carries this on, I knew I should have driven and let Dom sit back here with her, she gently runs her fingers along the edge catching the bottom corner knocking the headphone compartment off, she quickly fumbles trying to put it back on, failing miserably I might add, then another piece drops I lean across to take the plastic parts from her and clip them back into the screen.

"Dom feel free to put your foot down before she dismantles the whole car"

"I'm sorry," she said looking at me with a saddened look.

"It's fine just don't touch anything else, please" we drove in silence a little while longer, I'm avoiding all eye contact with Dom who clearly has something to say to me.

"So, seen as the conversation is booming" trust Dom, he was never able to stay quiet for long, we have been best friends all our lives, I know him too well, anything involving women or food he's all over it. "What exactly did you do to piss off the old goat back there?"

"Oh...well it's a long story, I wouldn't want to bother you, you know, it's ok, just forget it, you can drop me off anywhere in town if....."

"Like I said you're coming with us" I wasn't prepared to let her leave, she had to come back with me, I needed to know more about her.

"I think what hunter is trying to say is, it may be best you stay with us for a while until everything calms down, we can help you get to the bottom of whatever is going on if you would like our help" Dom pushes further.

"Like I said, it's a long story" She shot him down once again,

Dom looked at the Sat Nav "well we have 52 minutes until our destination so let's start at the beginning shall we" He looked at her through the mirror, but she didn't look to impressed. "Ok if it's easier for you, hit me with the shorter version" he smiled trying to entice her to open up.

Trinity stared at Dom then turned to look at me, I can tell by her face she doesn't know if she can trust us, But to my surprise she begins to speak regardless.

"Ok, you asked for it...... When I was 8 I was taken from my parents, who were the Alpha and Luna of the silver crest pack on the east coast. My father was a full Lycan Alpha, however, my mother was a vampire a full-blooded original, I know it's very rare for the species to co exist, however, they were in love, and everyone was happy until someone told HIM about my existence, we were attacked by the goat as you politely called him and his little minions, I was taken where I have spent the last 10 years chained to a wall in the goat's basement with nothing but a bucket and a toddler bed. I won't explain the bucket I think you can figure that part out on your own, I was starved and beaten every day if it wasn't for my friend Michelle, who by the way was killed today while we were trying to escape, she was sneaking me food else I probably would have died a long time ago. Derek kept me hidden away so as soon as I turned 18 which is today, happy birthday to me" she said sarcastically. "My hybrid gene is now fully formed, he was going to start r****g me so I would bear him all the children I could give him, to create his little hybrid army to take control.... from you."

She finished looking at me, both I and Dom sat quietly taking in all the information thrown at us, what the hell, I rub my palms against my thighs feeling the anger once more, I want to go back and rip his head off, I couldn't believe all that was going on and I had no idea, I knew he was lying about something but only a fool could think he would be able to get away with all of that.

How could he of done all that, I don't know what it is about her but all she has been through she still has sass! she's feisty, a warrior through and through, many other people would have been broken years ago but it seemed to make her stronger.

"Happy birthday," Dom said with a small smile, no idea of how to react to her either.

with that, we were back to silence...
