Stalking The Hybrid

For her own safety

I ran upstairs and took a quick bath the time was just 5:30 and I still had time to relax a little bit. My mother surprised me by getting me a hairstylist and a makeup artist to come and help me prepare. It was probably a good idea for me to get both because I was very clueless when it came to makeup and I didn’t think my hair needed anything done because it was too short to style.

I felt like a celebrity preparing for the red carpet with one lady doing my hair while the other one was busy with my makeup. I really hoped that all this effort would be worth it and I would have a good time. The two ladies helped me put on my dress and my nude stilettos, I couldn’t even recognise myself in the mirror, it was like I was looking at someone different. I looked like a mature sexy woman ready to take on the world and other people’s men.

After I was done getting dressed I had to do nothing but sit and wait for the limousine, when the car arrived at 7:30 my mother walked me to the car, she was way too excited about this and it was making me very uncomfortable. She even had a camera to take a picture of me before I entered the car, while I was in the car and probably when the car left.

The ball was at the Alpha’s mansion in their garden, the garden was decorated beautifully and thank goodness I wasn’t the first or the last to arrive. There were some cocktails being served but I knew I needed something stronger and the only thing I could get here was champagne but that champagne was, meant for adults. I took a glass and drank it as fast as I could and before anyone noticed I was drinking.

I moved around the garden filled with people, checking everybody out. Everyone seemed excited about this and the girls were all probably hoping that the prince would pick them; this was sure going to be a night filled with drama. After an hour of them socialising and me being an innocent bystander, the Alpha finally came out with the guy I assumed to be the prince, he had pitch black short hair, sharp cheek bones and an arrogant smile that exposed his beautifully aligned teeth that were white. 

He seemed to be sensing something in the atmosphere and started looking around the whole garden as if searching for someone, this was all too dramatic for me and I couldn’t help but giggle catching the attention of a few people that were standing next to me.

The prince whispered something to his dad and then looked straight at me, I tried to look away but his gaze just imprisoned me and I couldn’t look away.

MATE...

I heard and inner voice whisper suddenly I felt a strange urge to jump through the crowd and push everyone aside just to get to him. All my senses were suddenly heightened and I could suddenly hear ever conversation that everyone was having, if my mother hadn’t taught me how to control my wolf I would’ve have turned right there and then.

He started, moving down the stairs and walking toward me and I did the same our eyes never leaving each other. This magical moment was broken and ruined by a meddling Ashley who immediately cut in between us and threw herself at Liam. I growled lowly which wasn’t something that I had ever expected of myself.

Liam and Ashley left together but not before he shot me a lustful look that promised to come back for me and she shot me a disgusted and warning look. I swear given a chance I was going to kill the girl.

During the rest of the night some of the male wolves would occasionally try to strike up a conversation with me and of course I shut them down. It was bad enough that it appeared that I had been mated to the worst possible wolf. Of course Liam hadn’t done anything to me yet but I just got a bad feeling about him and I didn’t want him to get any close to me.

I walked around the garden until I found a bench that was unoccupied by some newly mated wolves and sat down. It felt refreshing for me to finally be alone without a crowd, here I could think clearly and re collect my thoughts.

“Hi beautiful” I heard a husky but sexy voice say from behind me, when I turned around I was surprised, shocked and extremely turned on by the greyish bluish eyes that were staring back into mine.

“Hi” I said nervously, now that the bratt was here I coupdnt help it but blush and get nervous

“Mate” he whispered and then pulled me by the hand to stand up and I couldn’t believe this douche bag was making me blush

“You are my mate” he said smashing his lips into mine and instead of pushing him away, I found myself drowning in his kisses and breathless. He was simply breathtaking, he abruptly broke our kiss and spit disgusted...

“Hybrid” he said in disdain

“Leave now” he said and I just stood there confused and baffled at his sudden change of heart and dislike for me. Ashley found us and immediately threw herself in his arms and hugging him, from the way she was acting I could see she knew that Liam was my mate and what she had hoped for was happening, Liam had just rejected me as his mate.

I had never had a boyfriend before but neither had I ever been rejected by anyone nor called ugly. After Liam and Ashley left me standing where they had found me I was approached by another female. This one was awfully nicer than anyone I had met ever since I got to this ball and this shitty town.

“Hi I am Anna” she greeted me as she extended her hand to me for a handshake

“Hi Anna, I’m Elizabeth” I said trying to hide the pain I was feeling from the rejection

“Sorry about those two meanies” she said as she took a seat next to me 

“Oh I will live” I said brushing it off

We sat there is silence; something about her presence gave me comfort. She was very easy to talk to and I enjoyed speaking to her, she had a lovely aura about her that showed me that not everybody in this town was all bad.

After some two long hours the ball was finally over. The Alpha made the announcement that the prince still hadn’t found his mate but he was to keep searching. I still couldn’t believe that he rejected me just like that and now I would have to explain to my mother how I came back with no mate when we were all so confident I would come back with a handful of them.

“So I will see you at school tomorrow” Anna said as we were leaving the mansion

“I am not sure we are in the same class” I said

“Oh we are I am also a new student and I saw your name in my class register, that’s how I knew you” she said. What she was saying to me was very confusing and it sounded like a lie but I decided to humour her and pretend I believed her.

“Oh ok, I will see you then” I said as I got into my limousine

I was anxious to get home and get out of this tight dress that now seemed very unnecessary and made me feel ridiculous.

LIAM’S POV

“f**k f**k f**k” I screamed and punched the wall

How could I be paired with a hybrid, they were going to banish if not kill her once they found out what she was. I felt a hole form in my heart as I rejected her but I knew that it was necessary, it was the only way to keep her safe. And to make sure she was safe I asked my sister Anastasia to befriend her just to see which state of mind she was in. She had to keep it a secret that we were siblings, because as much as I couldn’t be with her I also knew I wasn’t willing to let her go. But I had to keep my feelings and the fact that we were mates a secret from everyone for now because once we mated her powers were going to get stronger and she was surely going to show that she was a hybrid.

“What did she say, does she hate me?” I asked my sister as she came into my room

“No she doesn’t hate you although I think she should but she was quite chilled about it actually, almost like she didn’t care” she said, and instead of making me feel better that only made me feel worse. It made me feel like she was rejecting me although I was the one who had just rejected her. 

“Oh” I said as I walked back to my bed and dropped myself heavily on it

“Don’t look so hurt, you are the one who rejected her” she said

“Why did you reject her?” she asked her curiosity finally getting the best of her

“Um...She isn’t my type” I lied looking away avoiding her eyes. She could always see when I was lying

“When it comes to mates, you never have choices or types if the goddess chose her for you then that means she is the best thing for you” she said and she made sense but I had to be stubborn and pretend I didn’t know that. I couldn’t risk anyone finding out her identity not even my own sister

“I know that but I like to make my own decisions” I said stubbornly and she raised her hands in surrender and then walked out of my room while mumbling some incoherent words.

It was to my relief that she had managed to befriend Elizabeth, which was going to help me keep tabs on her and be able to know what she was thinking. Ashley had told me that she was our new classmate at school and I couldn’t wait to be seeing her everyday even though I knew that would be hard for me to pretend I didn’t care about her but I had to come up with a way to keep the distance between us.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the moment when I kissed her; a kiss with Ashley had never felt like that. I liked Ashley, she was like my trophy girlfriend a pretty thing for me to have on my arm and have the boys and girls envious of. But she was such an airhead at times, all that beauty with no brains made her very unattractive most of the times.

But Elizabeth was something different, she was very beautiful and her lips, Oh lord her lips were like a cushion for mine. I loved how her body got aroused by my touch, no matter what it took or how long it took she was going to be mine and I was going to come up with a way to make it so even if killed me.
