The Hybrid King and His Hidden Mate

Dante's Plans Part Three

I knocked on the door and waited. "Who is it?" Zion's mate said cautiously. I coughed softly and spoke, "It's Dante. Can I please speak with you?" I could hear shuffling of feet, and then the door opened.

"Yes, what is it?" She said, darting her eyes behind me nervously, "Where is my husband? He hasn't come up to the room yet." I gazed into her eyes intently pushing my power on to her and felt when her body tensed and gave in to my power, then her eyes began to droop.

"That's right. Follow me into your room. I have a few questions for you, and I want you to answer them truthfully. You will obedient and do that, won't you?" I said with a trance like voice.

She blinked her eyes and then nodded her head slowly. "Yes, I will answer anything you ask of me." I chuckled darkly and then gently pushed her to the chair. "First, I need you to give me your arm and relax. I need your blood. You'll give me a few samples, won't you." She pushed her arm toward me and sat obediently waiting.

I placed a rubber strip around her arm and felt for the best vein I could find. I was going to need more of her blood than Zion's. She was his mate, and her blood could be useful in controlling him. Once I found the perfect vein, I wiped her arm with an alcohol pad and then plunged the small IV into the vein and plunged the vials in the IV, and began filling them with blood.

"So, tell me, what really happened to your daughter? Did she really die?" I said calmly as I changed vials as her blood filled them. "I had a vision about my daughter's future, and it scared me. I took her away from the Lycan Realm and hid her away. I told my husband that there was an accident and that I accidentally killed her. He has made me suffer for eighteen years. I so miss my little Cassandra. She was my most treasured possession. I would do anything for her. I know who her mate is, and I protected the one thing I knew would make her be safe until her mate was proven worthy. I cast a spell to protect her virginity so that her mate could cherish her like she deserves. I don't even know where she is, but it is better that way. My husband will never learn the truth." She whispered with a pained voice.

I pulled the last vial off of the IV, and the smile that branded my face was huge. I leaned forward and removed the IV, licking the blood from her arm so that it would close. She shivered from the contact.

"You're doing so good. Now, the most important question. Who is Cassandra's mate? This is the most important question of all." I whispered softly as I placed a stray hair behind her ear, "And how do I remove the virginity protection spell?"

"He is a demon. I don't know his name, but he is a very special hybrid. He is meant for great things. My daughter is his fated mate. She is meant for great things, too, but only if her mate can accomplish his destiny. I don't know the reversal spell. I made that spell specifically where no one but her fated mate could break it." She said as her eyes began to droop heavily from the loss of blood. I had taken so many vials of it.

I gritted my teeth angrily. I didn't like the fact that someone else was promised my little pet's innocence. She was mine, and she was meant for me. I knew this woman in front of me was a witch, quite possibly a strong one, but she was very weak from the loss of her daughter. Her heart wasn't full, and her mate weakened her more. There was so much more I needed to know about her.

"Thank you so much. You have helped me more than you will ever know. You should rest. You will be weak for a while." I smirked as I filled a syringe with a strong sedative. I pushed her down, and she fell onto her pillow.

"That's right. There's no need to fight me. Close your eyes." I plunged the needle directly into the vein in her neck and waited until her body went limp. She was a block in my path, so I needed to take care of her. I grabbed an empty vial and placed it by my wrist, then bit down hard. My blood ran down into the vial, and then I licked the wound to close it up.

I opened my mouth and released some of my venom into the vial with the blood. I closed the lid and shook it slightly to mix it up. Then I pulled a small pill out of my pocket and opened the vial, dropping it in there.

It was a very strong poison that could kill a witch if not done properly. I wanted her dead, but just not yet. I just wanted her so sick that she wished she was dead and where Zion wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Then I could "help her with a cure," but really use her as leverage to control Zion.

I took the syringe and plunged it into her chest, releasing the liquid. She would be up in several hours, screaming of pain in her chest and not being able to move.

With what I had planned for Zion, he was going to need a lot of reminding constantly so that he would know who was in control of him and his lycan.

Now that I knew my little pet was as special as I knew she was, she was going to help me get what I wanted. Her fated mate was none other than Sebastian, the soon to be hybrid king of the Demon Realm.

I cleaned up my mess and left the room. I headed to my secret room and placed the blood in a locked container. Then I headed back to my private den where Zion was out cold. I grabbed another glass of bourbon and sat down, waiting for him to wake up.

Once his mate awoke, he would be weak and vulnerable. Just how I needed him to be. I would put on the face that I was helping him when really I was slowly taking control of him. I wanted absolute control over his Lycan. He was a king. His power was strong, and no one fûcked with him. With him in my control, I could do so much. Then, add the young demon to the mix, and I would be unstoppable.

The world and every single human would be mine to do as I pleased.

Next stop, my little pet. She was the key to bringing Sebastian here and getting his demon to surface.

Cassandra

I wanted to scream so badly, but I couldn't. I felt his presence next to me, and I was terrified of what it meant for me. "I know you're awake, pet. Now open your eyes. Let me see what belongs to me." Dante said with a cold tone.

I blinked my eyes open and locked eyes with me. He was staring down at me with such intensity that it scared me. He had never looked at me like this before. Something had changed. I could feel it in the air.

"That's my good little pet. I have a surprise for you. I want you to meet some people soon. It's going to be such a sight to see once they realize who you are." He chuckled darkly as he shook his head with amusement.

I looked at him with disbelief. Was he actually going to let me visit with other people? "What? Don't you look at me like I have two heads. I'm serious. I want you to meet the Lycan King and his mate. They are visiting us and will be staying indefinitely if I have anything to say about it, which I do. They are going to be in for such a treat. I can't wait. I am dying of anxiousness. I want to take you now, but I have to wait first. I need to take care of a few things first, but don't you worry your little head pet. I will not forget about you. Today has been marked a very important day." I felt goosebumps cover my skin as he gently brushed my hair away from my neck.

He tilted my neck, and I closed my eyes tightly, knowing what was about to happen. I tensed when I felt his fangs puncture my skin. He drank deeply as he held my hair tightly in his fist. "P-Please... it h-hurts. So, m-much." I croaked out.

"I know my little pet. I know. It hurts because I'm not your mate. Only your mate is supposed to have everything little thing of yours, but I'm too selfish to care because you belong to me. He won't take you away. Once I bring him here, I will take control of his demon, and he won't ever have you. I will force him to break that stupid spell your mother cast to protect your virginity, and then I will finally make you bleed. Your first blood is mine, and only mine. I won't give it to Sebastian." Dante said, moaning as if he was lost in thought while he gorged my blood frantically.

Sebastian?

Was that the name of my mate?

Did Dante just mention the word demon?

I felt something tug on my heart hard, and then something like recognition filled my body and mind. It was almost like a thread or rope was connected to my beating organ. I wanted to scream, cry, thrash around, give my heart and love to him, and then fall to my knees with submission for only him.

Why was I feeling this way? Was it from the fact that I knew my mate's name? That couldn't be it, could it?

I wasn't sure why, but I felt a need to grip my necklace at the mere mention of his name. I kept my eyes closed and held my necklace close to my heart.

'Sebastian. It's me, Cassandra. Your mate. If you can hear me, I just want you to know that I am waiting for you to come rescue me. Please don't fall for Dante's trap. He only means to capture you. Please be careful, my precious mate. I need you to come save me. I can't take another day with all this pain and suffering. He brings upon me.' I said in my mind, hoping that I could reach him.

"PET? WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY THE FÛCK IS YOUR BODY GLOWING BRIGHT RED?"
