HYBRID ON THE LOOSE
DAMIEN'S POV
“I am going to ask you one last time, what were you looking for in my territory?” I asked the rogue and frankly I was starting to lose all patience with him. After hours of interrogating him all I had gotten was that he was looking for something. I walked to the table packed with torturing tools and picked the pliers then walked back to him.
“You know the will to live will shock you, you may think you have nothing to lose but wait until you are facing a slow painful death” I said sitting on a chair opposite to him. I took off his shooed for him and threw them to the side.
“Let me explain how this will work….for every wrong answered I remove your toe and finger” I said sitting back and sent a signal to one of the guards by the entrance to come and help me hold him down
“Maybe they have told you what a sick f**k I am but you aint seen nothing yet” I said as terror filled his eyes
“I will ask again...What were you looking for in my territory?” I said with a deadly look in my eyes.
“Your mother” he said smirking
“you know you really shouldn’t have said that, I like to leave my deceased mother out of my business but since you want to bring her in it…I have to make her proud” I said as the guard held his hand down on the small table in between us and I went for his big finger and cut it off. He screamed like a b***h as the pain numbed all thoughts. After that I moved to his left leg and changed my mind at the last minute. I decided I didn’t want to cut the toe off. I walked back to the table with the tools and picked up the hammer.
“What…what…what are you going to do doing with that?” he asked in a panicked voice
“Oh you mean this? I am going to crash every bone in that big toe of yours” I said calmly as I lifted the hammer as high as my arm would allow me and with a loud crash the sound of his toe crashing under it filled my ears.
“Like music to my ears” I said as I placed the hammer down and took my seat again “let’s try again…..what. Are.You.looking.for.here?” I said it slowly this time as if talking to a child who couldn’t put sentences together
“Is that the best you can do?” he snarled and I sighed
“you are a brave man, I said standing up to explore my options again, satisfied with the damage that my hammer had caused to his finger I went back to where I put it and pointed it on his knee.
“I will smash this knee until there is no bone left in it” I said lifting it up and smashing it on his knee as hard as I could, he cried out in pain as I continued pounding his knee until the flesh became tender and I could see pieces of bones sticking out, satisfied with my work I threw it down and took my seat again.
“I can do this all day…but am sure you already know that” I said with a sinister smile
“Fine… I will…l tell you” he finally gave up, panting, blood oozing from his knee, toe and finger. I folded my arms and waited impatiently for him to start explaining.
“I was sent by my Alpha to find the hybrid, he said that she is hiding here in New Orleans” he said catching his breath
“What hybrid and which pack are you from? Who is your Alpha?” I shouted him as far as I knew; every wolf here in New Orleans was accounted for even the few rogues. I had made it a point that all the lone wolves were watched closely and they knew exactly who ran this town. I knew everything about all of them so this rogue had clearly come to the wrong place
“Speak!!” I shouted while putting pressure on the silver bullet wound he had on his chest from when we caught him sneaking around the property, more blood squirt on my white shirt and he cried out in pain.
“Are you telling me the great Alpha Damien doesn’t know he has the most powerful wolf right under his nose? And from what I hear she’s very feisty too” he said while giving me an evil chuckle
“And they sent a weakling like you to catch her you deserve to be an Omega” I spat
“and I hate to disappoint you but there is no hybrid here and you still haven’t told me where you are from” I asked again
“Ca…can’t tell you that, what I will tell you is, sooner or later they will come for her and they will find her. My pack needs a Luna like her” he said coughing out more blood.
“When they do I will be waiting and ready” I said walking away from him and grabbing my gun c*****g it before turning around and pointing it at him
‘Wait I can tell you more, let’s make a deal. Please don’t shoot” he begged
“I hate beggars, die like a man” I said and shot him on the head making sure my shot was fatal. As I walked out one of the guards handed me some hand wipes and I wiped the filthy blood off my hands.
They knew I hated going to the main house with blood on my hands. After wiping my hands I threw it in the bin by the entrance before entering the main house and heading to my office.
“did you get anything from him” asked Haines my Beta as I entered my office, Haines was not only my Beta but he was also my younger brother and he did all the research we needed as a pack. After our parents died, not only did I take over pack responsibilities, I also took responsibility of my younger brother. Together we had build a strong pack and we learnt the importance of being well informed as an Alpha and as a pack. So Haines was in charge of research and thanks to the moon goddess he also found his mate and together they made quite a deadly team. In them, I saw what I was missing and seeing them together made me even lonelier. Don’t get me wrong I was never jealous of my little brother I just wanted a family of my own. I just wanted my mate and it had taken the moon goddess long enough to point me to her direction. But as lonely as I felt ,my brother Haines always kept me preoccupied because seemed to think his other job was to annoy me because damn it the guy was a pain at times.
“Yeah he is looking for some Hybrid” I said as I sank comfortably on my chair
“Oh word has it we have the most powerful hybrid here in New Orleans but I think it’s just a myth, most wolves hook up with their kind only lately. What do you think she is a mixture of?” he asked and I rolled my eyes, I was too tired for this s**t.
“I couldn’t care less who or what she is, but if she does exist we have to find her first before they come back and try to use her against us” I said , I was very tired all that torturing had drained me.
“What do you want us to do when we find her?” he asked
“I don’t know, kill her if you like I have no use for a hybrid” I said and dismissed him I had some work to finish up and I wanted to sleep early tonight I was exhausted. After Haines left my office I abandoned my work and went into my room for a quick shower.
Lately I had been stressed out, I had been attending every mating ball I was invited to in an attempt to meet my mate but each time I had returned with nothing but a thirsty hoe. Now I had this hybrid in my territory and turning things upside down and attracting unwanted attention. None of these small packs bothered me but I hated that now I would have to deal with intruders every now and then, as if I didn’t have enough to deal with already.
I needed to upgrade our pack security because if indeed there was a hybrid, these intruders were going to be caught a lot more often. But what I really needed, no scratch that what my pack really needed was a Luna who would help me run things here. A pack like mine didn’t need a feint hearted Luna; we needed a Luna with thick skin. Damn this hybrid, how did she even get here, I swear once I found her I would kill her myself. f*****g hybrids they don’t even deserve to live they are an abomination to our very nature, I thought turning off the shower and stalking off.
SCARLET’S POV
(FLASHBACK)
“We love you my princess and don’t ever forget us, never take off this necklace it will always protect you” my mother whispered as they both prepared for their death, I couldn’t help tearing up. I didn’t understand anything that was happening. I tried to pull my dad by his morning gown but he simply detached himself from my grasp and told me to stay in the closet and not make a sound no matter what. A few minutes later I heard gun shots and growling. We were being attacked by another wolf. But why? My parents got along with everyone here, why would another wolf attack us in the middle of the night I though as I burst out of the closet in tears and opened the window. I carefully climbed out and as soon as my feet hit the ground I ran as fast as I could. Once hidden by the bushes I looked back only to be see a pair of red eyes that scared me i turned on my heels and ran as fast as my feet could carry me, tears clouding my eyes, I tripped on a broken branch and hurt my knee and cried for my mother but somehow I knew that i was never going to see he again. I cried even harder and stopped immediately when I saw a torchlight approaching I quickly hid myself in the thick bushes nearby. I couldn’t see him but I knew he was the murderer I covered my mouth with my hands hoping he couldn’t hear my loud breathing and luckily he seemingly gave up looking and jogged off, I quietly came out of the bushes careful not to make a sound and suddenly I heard growling behind me and I knew I had been caught”.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
.................................................................................
“Baby” I woke up to Noah shaking me gently
“Sorry” I whispered as I got up rubbing my eyes, damn these nightmares. Lately they had been getting worse and I couldn’t understand why. Worst of it Noah says that most times I would be kicking him and crying
“Another bad dream?” he asked
“Yeah, I’ve been getting them a lot lately” I said running my fingers through my hair
“What do you dream about anyway?” Noah asked, he was now used to my nightmares not the kicking and screaming anyway I swear one of this nights I would probably turn and kill him in my sleep
“I don’t remember” I lied,it was always the same dream every night.
It was actually more like a flash back of the night my parents were killed. I touched the necklace around my neck and remembered that awful night when they were killed for absolutely no reason, thinking about it almost made me cry even though it had happened almost 4 years ago. I headed to the shower with Noah following me close behind we always bathed together in the morning.
“You don’t have to be afraid of anything I will always protect you” he assured me while cupping my face in his hands and I nodded, even though I knew I could probably protect him better than he could ever protect me. Noah and I met on the bus a few days after my parents were killed we both seemed to be running away from something in New Jersey and we clicked instantly. We were both heading to NewOrleans and between us we only had a few hundred dollars enough only for a month’s rent, I admired Noah for taking care of me and making it look like it was second nature to him even though he didn’t know me.
After we finished bathing, I headed to the closet and pulled out a pair of shorts and a white baggy crop top and black boots, I hated bras and never wore one and I didn’t need it my boobs were naturally perky.. Noah always said that I had an ass for days, my ass was nice and plump and looked good in anything. I wore nothing but shorts and a crop top or bikini top all the time, I liked the comfort they gave me and if ever I was in a fight these were the perfect clothes to beat somebody up. Trust me I was always in some fight.
When I was done getting dressed I tied my brown hair in a messy bun knowing my helmet would mess it up even further and put on my dark red lipstick threw my favorite cherry bubble gum in my mouth and waited for Noah. I swear Noah was worse than a girl he always took longer to get ready always talking about how achieving his looks took time I rolled my eyes at the thought. A few minutes later he was done and he was wearing tight black leather pants that showed off his muscular thighs and a black t-shirt and a leather jacket, Noah was my bad boy and I was his bad girl we were a perfect couple.
He walked towards me and we kissed each other hungrily before we got out of the house, I slid my purse across my shoulders and followed him to the parking lot. Neither of us owned a car, but we did own two of the baddest Suzuki motorbikes ever, and we liked racing in them too, we raced each other to the park and back every day and I always won. We got onto our bikes and headed straight to the park, racing all the way there and as usual I left Noah behind.
Once there we spent the day chilling with some of the guys that played basketball at the court while occasionally a customer would come to purchase the cocaine from us. The goal was the same as always we were never to return home with the stash, it had to be finished right there at the park. After a successful day of sales, Noah and I Headed to the liquor shop to get some supplies for the night. It was like tradition for us to drink after a day of hustling especially if the day was as successful as today was. Although I didn’t take drugs I drank like a fish, I started drinking after my parents were killed I found alcohol to be a very effective pain killer. Other she wolves would tell you that a mate is the one that kills all pain and his main purpose was to protect you but to me that was a load of bullshit.
I could protect myself very well and I was sure that the moon goddess passed me by when she was allocating mates to other wolves, if not where was he? And besides I had convinced myself that hybrids were not allowed to have mates and I probably wouldn’t even know if I met my mate, my wolf and I were not exactly in speaking terms in fact I doubted she existed anymore and I liked it this way I had considered myself an abomination all my life even when my parents were alive. My dad had told me how he got banished from the pack when they had found out that he was mated with a witch and my mother was accused of bewitching my father, this was very typical of wolves to turn on their own and that’s why I hated them, it was very ironic because I was now staying with one although he did not know that I was a hybrid. He would probably try to kill me on the spot if he found out and it would be a shame if I had to kill the only wolf on my side in self-defense.
We got to the liquor store and I headed straight for the beers in the fridge and I picked a six pack while Noah headed for his favorite brandy, I took another six deciding that alcohol was the best way to drown my sorrows and nightmares.
