Stalking The Hybrid

You chose a w***e over me

“Mom, why did you leave this place in the first place?” I asked and she sighed and sat down

“Well I didn’t leave because I wanted to... I loved this place and still do. I was kicked out of my family home after my parents died and because I had no other place to stay  I took it as a banishment because after that I was homeless and had to fend for myself. I stuck around for a little while before finally moving on and meeting your father. Being a hybrid is like an abomination here, and without a mate you could get killed just as easily. That’s why it’s important for me that we find your mate before you fully develop and everyone starts seeing you are a hybrid.” She said and I was confused

“But mom, if being here was and is dangerous for both of us why did you bring me back, couldn’t we just stay where we were. I mean I could have hooked up with a human like you” I said and she forced a smile but I could see she was still worried.

“No honey, you don’t understand without a mate your life will always be in danger, and your dad was my mate but your mate is somewhere here and he is not human. I am sure if I met him I would know him but of course you would know first because it is your mate in question. And we came here because you need a mate as a witch and as a wolf. Without a mate your powers would only get stronger and stronger and out of control until you self destruct. Which brings me to a point of being rejected, should you ever meet your mate and he rejects you, you must let me know immediately honey, your life will depend on it. Whether or not he accepts you a meeting is a meeting and it would not change your destiny both way, and your powers will destroy you and I can’t have that” she said on the brink of tears.

“ok mom” I said just to get this depressing conversation to end because now I was stressed about Liam rejecting me and I would have to make sure I break our bond even if it meant one of us dying, rather him than me. I hated the fact that my whole life depended on the one person I couldn’t stand to be around.

“Ok good. Now on a lighter note you have a message on your phone” she said changing the subject and handing me my iphone.

The message was from a blocked number, it was odd for me to receive a text this late (it was close to midnight). I unlocked my phone and perused through my apps before opening the message. I never prioritised anything that was from someone I didn’t know, worst part this number was blocked so I had no way of knowing who it was from.

I decided to take a bath, although I was still dizzy and weak from my fall, I managed to shower by myself without any incident. I considered not going to school the following day but that would give Ashley ammunition and she would think that I missed school because she had caused major damage to me. I was healing a little slower than normal wolves and witches because I was still a little underdeveloped. So I asked my mother to make an ointment for my head and something for me to drink because I had to be at school the following day.

When I finally read the text I had received, it was as odd as the hour I had received it in.

‘Hi can we be friends’ the text read, that was a very weird.

 As far as I remembered the only person who had my phone number here was Anna, had she given my number to someone else? Or did someone steal it from her phone? Besides Anna and the school forms that had my numbers, I couldn’t think of anyone else who had them.

Unless...unless Ashley stole them and she was playing some kind of prank on me.

At the thought of Ashley I remembered that my mother said I should never allow my emotions to go into overdrive and how that would expose me. I had already met Liam so that meant that it was only a matter of time until everyone saw who and what I truly was. The only option I had at this point was to severe the bond, the only option I had was to find a way, even if it was through black magic I needed to get rid of this mate bond so that my mum and I could get the hell out of this town and be safe.

The following day when I woke up, my mother had already left for work and she left the ointment and the gross looking liquid I was supposed to drink on the kitchen counter with instructions on how to take it. I was supposed to take it first thing in the morning before I even brushed my teeth or bathed. I carefully followed the instructions and by the time I was done bathing and eating after taking the medicine, I was as good as new.

I decided to wear my sweatpants because I didn’t feel like doing much on myself that day. After getting dressed I let my hair hand lose, I realised that I had put on a little weight. The sweat pants that were supposed to be baggy were now very tight. So I changed into skinny jeans and a t shirt.

After I was done getting dressed I headed to school, I thought of confronting Ashley about her part in the prank she tried pulling on me last night but I realised that would be a bad idea because with Ashley, my anger was bound to go on overdrive. I would probably manifest my powers and she would be my first victim, I like the thought of Ashley being my first victim more than suppressing my powers.

But today I had to find a spell to break the mate bond and I was planning to spend my lunch in the library searching for a way to break the mate bond. When I got to school Anna was already in the parking lot waiting for me as usual, I swear the girl was never late. We walked to class while she told me about her annoying brother as usual. I was tempted to ask her if she had given anyone my numbers but decided against it because what type of friendship would this have been without trust.

Besides Ashley and Liam being their usual annoying selves, school went smooth. During lunch I managed to dodge Anna because I didn’t want her knowing I knew how to practice magic or that I was interested in practicing black magic. I was surprised to get a book on black magic in a wolf school where hybrids and witches were frowned upon. I didn’t borrow the book because I realised that would sell me out and get the library lady suspicious as to why I was interested in black magic. So I decided to go into town during the weekend and buy the book so that I could read it at home with no disturbances.

 As I walked out of the Library to my next class, the nagging feeling of being followed came back again and this time I realised the person following me. It was Tom Hardy the quietest boy in my class, he was also the most handsome (after Liam), and the smartest.

“Why are you following me?’ I asked as I stopped on my tracks and he almost bumped into me

“I wanted to talk to you but you seemed busy” he said dropping his head shyly and in shame

“Ok, but how long have you been following me?” I asked although I already knew the answer.

“Just today” he said and I knew he was lying because today wasn’t the first time I had felt I was being followed

“You don’t have to lie but its fine” I said and he looked like he wanted to say more but I wasn’t in the mood to hear it so I raised my finger and placed it on his soft lips.

“So what do you want to talk about?” I asked “let’s walk to class together” I said my next class was biology and I could use his company. Tom was also in the Biology class but he had a better partner than me

“I was really hoping you and I would be paired in Biology but Liam took my spot, I think you and I would make a good pair” he said and I nodded as he gave me an Idea

“You know what I agree, I will speak to the teacher and maybe he will agree” I said as we entered the class.

Liam frowned the minute he saw me walking in with Tom, he probably didn’t like the fact that other males where interested in me even though he thought I was so disgusting. I smirked as I took my seat next to him and his eyes followed Tom to the back. I could see the resentment he had for Tom in that moment and I was determined to capitalise on the situation and rub it in.

“Soon I won’t have to deal with you” I whispered and he looked at me confused

“Are you finally dropping the class?” he asked sounding relieved, he clearly didn’t want to spend time with me as much as I didn’t want to spend time with him.

“In your dreams douche bag, the only thing I am dropping is you” I said and his eyes almost pooped out of his skull.

“Good luck with that because as far as I know you cannot drop a partner and work alone” he stated confidently as if he had it all figured out

“I am actually dropping you for Tom, he is smarter than you” I said smugly and I could see the smoke coming out of his ears like in a cartoon

“You are dropping me for that looser?” he asked in shock giving Tom a quick sharp glance

“Yes just like you dropped me for that w***e” I shot back and that shut him up.
