The Hybrid King and His Hidden Mate

Cassandra Disappears

Dante

I looked over at Zion's mate and sneered. "Make sure you keep her sedated. Put her in my chambers and make sure you set up an IV so I can siphon her blood. I want her weak and Zion weaker. The weaker she is, the stronger his Lycan will force to take control. Not to mention, her blood is absolutely delicious." Katasha just chuckled and then left to do my bidding.

"Master, we have to be careful with giving the Queen this plant. It is very dangerous to her. She could die from it, and if she perishes, then I'm afraid Zion's lycan will die as well." My doctor says nervously.

I clenched my fists tightly and yelled loudly, "THEN GIVE HER SOMETHING LESS DANGEROUS. PLACE HER IN A COMA. I DON'T GIVE A FÛCK, I JUST NEED HER ALIVE." The doctor cowered in fear and nodded her head vigorously.

I stormed out of her room and headed to my pet's room. I wanted to check on her. I wanted to relish the pain she had to deal with from my punishment. I needed relief as well. My côck was painfully hard since I had whipped her, and I needed her mouth wrapped around it.

I unlocked her door and swung it open. She looked up at me defiantly but kept her body covered. "I see you haven't learned your lesson since you are being disobedient again. Show me your back. I want to enjoy your suffering as you suck my côck." I said dangerously low.

"I won't do it. If you come near me and force that vile thing down my throat, I will bite the damn thing off." She snapped out angrily and turned her head towards the wall, and that's when I realized something. Her face wasn't bruised or swollen.

Did the witch heal her? My blood boiled in my veins. I rushed forward and ripped the blanket from her body. She screamed out, and her eyes widened with fear. I inhaled sharply and felt my body begin to tremble with uncontrollable rage. Her back was completely and absolutely clear of any of my marks.

I grabbed her hair in my fist and twisted so hard that I felt some of her hair rip away from her scalp. I leaned down until I was nose to nose with her. "Who in the fûck healed you? Tell me so that I can rip their body limb from limb for touching what belongs to me."

She tensed and shook her head rapidly, "It healed on its own. No one helped me, and I already told you, I don't belong to you, " She whispered so low that if I didn't have my abilities to hear, I would have missed it. I narrowed my eyes at her and smirked darkly. I pushed her head to the side roughly and felt my fangs elongate as I sank them into her neck. She yelped in pain and fought until I lengthened my claws and dug them into her scalp.

She whimpered painfully and fell limp in my arms as she gave up as deep gutwrenching sobs escaped her mouth. I just chuckled in between my deep sucking until I finished feeding from her. She laid there weakly and looked at me with pleading eyes.

I unzipped my pants and pulled my côck out as I stared at her lustfully. I squeezed it firmly as I stroked it up and down several times. "Open up my precious pet. It's time to pleasure your Master's côck."

She gulped softly and then blinked away the tears that were falling down her face as she spit out savagely, "He will make you pay for this, and I will relish that day. I will watch as he rips you piece by piece." I leaned down, and with my other hand, I ran my knuckles down the side of her head.

"And who pray tell would that be, pet? Huh? No one would dare come here and fûck with me or my coven. Let alone know where to find it unless I told them its whereabouts. So please tell me who you are talking about that would have this many balls?"

She smirked smugly and clenched her necklace tightly. "Sebastian. My mate. He is coming for you, and I can't wait to see him destroy you." Then her whole body tensed, and she began shaking violently as her body began to burst into flames, and then she disappeared.

What in the fûcking hêll just happened?

"GUARDS! FIND CASSANDRA, SHE HAS ESCAPED." I growled viciously as I rushed out of the room and began to search the area for her.

Cassandra

I blinked my eyes open and looked around. Where was I? Nothing looked familiar to me. What had happened? The last thing I remember was grabbing my necklace and thinking about Sebastian so that he could give me strength to stand up to Dante. Then my body burst into flames, and then I dont remember anything. My eyes widened in horror, and I looked down at my body in fear.

I looked down at my body and then scratched my head in confusion. Why wasn't my body burnt to a crisp? There wasn't even any evidence that I burst into flames. Did I imagine everything? I closed my eyes and quickly took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

I stumbled as I tried to move my body and get up. The whole area was barren and dry. There was sand everywhere and suddenly I felt very, very thirsty.

I walked and walked desperately, trying to find a place where I could get even a drop of water, but there was none. As I walked, it started to fill as if I was walking around in circles.

I stopped and looked around frantically, and then screamed out, "H-HELLO? IS ANYONE OUT THERE? P-PLEASE, I'M LOST. I NEED HELP." There was no response. I waited and waited for what felt like hours, but still, there was no response.

I started to walk again, determined to find something to drink and possibly something to eat. If no one was going to help me, then I would just help myself. I walked until I couldn't walk anymore. Until my feet felt like jelly, and I couldn't hold myself up anymore. I collapsed to the ground and struggled to breathe.

Tears burst out as I cried uncontrollably. "Please, I just need help. I'm so thirsty." I cried and cried until the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up. I felt something or someone close to me.

I lifted my head slowly and looked around. I gasped sharply and then whimpered softly in fear. Standing close by was a huge bird. He was completely engulfed in flames but didn't look like he was in pain. He was looking straight at me.

"Come, my child. Do not be afraid of me. I will not harm you. Come closer, and I will bring you somewhere so you can quench your unbearable thirst and feed you until you can't possibly put another thing in your stomach. I have a huge feast just over the mountains." He said calmly and leaned down, waiting for me to get on top of him.

"What is your name?" I asked hesitantly. He lifted his head and smiled softly, "My name is Bennu, and I am the God of the Phoenix. You are here in my domain," He dropped his head back down and waited, "Come along now, Cassandra. Do not be afraid."

I jerked my head up abruptly, "H-How do you know my name?" He chuckled loudly but kept his head down. "I know everything about you, Cassandra. I have always known everything about you. Now please, let me help you. If you don't get something to drink or eat, you will die."

I stood hesitantly and walked towards him. When I was close enough, I reached out with a trembling hand. I was scared that I was going to get burned, but when my hand landed on his head, nothing happened.

My body became engulfed in flames, but they didn't burn me. "Why am I not getting burned? This is crazy." I said in awe as I moved my flaming hand around in the air. Bennu just laughed softly and nudged my side with his beak, "Hurry up and get on, little one. I have so much to show you and tell you."

I smiled warmly and nodded my head with acceptance. I could do this. There was nothing to be afraid of. I climbed on top of his back, and he lifted us into the air.

"Wait... did you say mountains? I have walked all over, and I didn't see any." I said with a scrunched up expression. "That's because you were not close to them, little one. My domain is very big. It's as far as the eye can see, and even then, it expands more. See, look over there," he points with his wing, "Do you see the ocean just over there," he nudged me to the other side, "And there, look. The mountains. I have my castle there perched up high."

I gasped loudly, "It's so beautiful. I never knew something so beautiful could exist."

As the air hit my face, an overwhelming feeling overcame me, and I laughed out loud. For once in my life, I felt free.

He smiled at me like he knew what I was thinking and then flew towards the castle.

Once he landed, I climbed off of his back. He came up beside me and shifted into a man. My eyes widened in disbelief. "You know you are welcome to stay indefinitely if you want. I would never let anyone harm you," He ran a finger down my cheek, and I looked at him and smiled softly, "Thank you for that, but I have to go back and protect my mate. He needs me." I said softly.

A strange look came over his face, but just as quickly it disappeared. He stretched out his hand and waited for me to place my hand in it. "Come, little bird. Let me feed my guest." He says calmly, but for some reason, I felt tension rising in the air.

Was it safe here?

Just as that thought crossed my mind, smells of food filled my nose. "My God, that smells absolutely divine." I said drooling. Bennu led me to the table and pulled out a chair for me right next to him.

"Sit. Have a drink and clear your mind." He said almost in a trance like voice. I just shook my head and laughed. Being in the desert must have messed with my mind.

I grabbed the glass he handed to me and lifted it to my lips and drank. The flavors exploded in my mouth, and I gulped it down. "This is so good. Can I have more?" I asked happily. He nodded his head and had a smug look on his face.

"Drink and eat as much as you want, Cassandra. This is your home. It will always be your home, here with me." He said, handing me another glass.

I grabbed the glass and began drinking when it hit me what he said. With him. "I have to get back to my mate." I said, slurring somewhat. "Shhh... there's no rush. You need to eat. Here, try some of my lotus flower cream. It is very delicious." He said calmly as he placed a spoon in a dish filled with cream and lifted the spoon to my mouth.

"Open, little one." He whispered roughly. Without thinking, I opened my mouth. He fed me the creamy delight, and I felt my mind and thoughts slowly start slipping away.

"I... um... what was I saying a minute ago?" I asked with frustration. "You were just saying how you accepted my offer to stay here with me." He said slowly as he fed me some more of that delicious creamy concoction.

"Y-Yes... I... you're right. I would love to stay here." I said softly, but something felt off. I felt like I was forgetting something important.

Something that was a part of who I was.

I just couldn't remember what it was.
