The Cursed Hybrid

Things just got complicated

Chapter 4

Raphael’s pov

The pain my mate looked in as those, whatever the fu.ck they are, burst from her made me feel a pain in my heart. I knew that it was that stupid alpha heir that caused it. My poor mate looked upset that this had happened. She and that idiots father both tried to stop what ever the hell this is from happened, but his pride couldn’t take it, it is just a shame that the fall he is having doesn’t solely effect him.

Her wolf is just stunning, and my heart skipped a beat the moment she looked at me and realised that I was her mate. It almost seems like a strange coincidence that my lycan is called Shadow, and those things look like they have been made out of shadows.

Angelina is the perfect name for her she is my angel, and Shadow told me that her wolf is called Aphrodite, a name synonymous with love, which is something she has lacked living here going by the scene that we walked into.

I didn’t even need the warning that Queen Liana gave Brandon about her being the only innocent one, I could feel how loving and kind she was through the bond. I knew as soon as I looked at her that she was the one she was talking about. She radiated with all things good.

Those things went straight for a group of people and wondered what had made them the things first targets. I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was as if all moisture had been removed, and some sort of mummified corpse was left in their place.

Everyone was freaking the hell out as if running around like headless chickens or screaming the loudest would help anything. Then, a bright light burst from our mate seconds after she shifted, and the shadow monsters disappeared. It all happened in minutes even if it felt like longer and then Queen Liana appeared next to us as my mate shifted back thankfully fully clothed, I didn’t want these a.ssholes to see any part of her body.

Queen Liana got me out of my shock and into action as I finally ran to my angel and picked her up. She was even more beautiful up close, and she felt amazing in my arms. With a warning to this awful pack from Queen Liana, she transported us back to Brandon’s pack, not letting them say a word.

They could all rot and die for all I cared, I had heard what they were like to anyone different from them and I could imagine how lonely and painful my beautiful mates life was growing up in a place like that, and then to be rejected by her mate when she has done nothing wrong was the final insult, they didn’t deserve her trying to stop what they had coming to them, but she still tried.

“Oh goddess, put the poor girl down Raphy. She looks like she is away to go into shock” Auntie Rayne said, coming towards me.

“Mine” I growl, Shadow right on the surface, we don’t want to be away from her. She needs us.

“Raphael Knight, don’t you use that tone on me, now put the girl down so she can breath” Rayne says in her don’t fu.ck with me tone, making Shadow retreat like a scared pup as I reluctantly place my Angel back on her feet, Auntie Rayne quickly snatches her and gets her to sit on a sofa and makes her slowly drink a glass of water.

The colour is starting to come back into her cheeks, and I am feeling a lot less nerves coming from her. I hate her being all the way over there instead of next to me, but I know that even if I use my vampire speed auntie Rayne would have me frozen to the ground before I could get near to her, I have seen her do it before.

“Sweetie, my name is Rayne and I am that big lump there's auntie, the other giant that was with him is my son Brandon, and it was my dear friend Queen Liana that brought you here” Rayne said to her and she looked at Queen Liana in fear, what the hell is going on.

“You are safe with me dear, I know who you are and I know that you are nothing like him, you take after your mother with that kind heart of yours. Now I think that your mate is going to have a fit if he doesn’t get close to you or find out what’s going on soon. Would you be fine with him sitting next to you? It will calm his Lycan and also help you to relax” Liana says in a kind and caring voice, as my Angel nods.

I don’t waste a second before I am sitting next to her. Just our legs touching makes me feel calmer and more at ease.

“Now I guess I should explain a few things, just remember that she is not her father, her aura is one of the purest I have seen” Liana says before telling us about who Angelina’s real father is and as much as she can tell us about the curse he placed onto the pack her mother was from. We are all shocked listening to her, except from mum, she has obviously been pre warned by her.

“How can you bare to look at me after everything that man put you through” she says so timidly that it breaks my heart.

“Malachi was evil, but he wasn’t always that way. He was apparently a sweet child before he got all twisted up. Whereas you who has gone through more than he ever did have kept your kind heart and compassion for the ones who made you feel unloved and unwanted. I know it must have been hard especially after your parents died, I was lucky, your dad may have caused me to grow up without my family, but I still had two parents who loved me, and love always in my life. Now I have two sets of parents, so a few years were wasted but I would never have changed a thing as I may not be the person I am today or have the same people in my life if things were different” Liana explains kindly to her.

“So what now? I am happy to let them all die to pay for their sins, that pack has been needing to be torn apart for a long time now” the man I know now is called Brandon says, he seems angry, but not at her, more like for her.

“Sweetie, you are the one that suffered at their hands. What do you want to do?” Rayne asks her.

“I don’t want more people to die because of my sperm donor, not all of them are bad, they just don’t know another way, it has been force fed to them for so many generations, they struggle now to change. Queen Liana, I would like help to fight whatever this curse is, those shadow demons are evil, and we don’t know if they will stop even if they kill the whole pack, they may just keep moving and taking more lives” she says slightly nervous. She really is an Angel, even after everything they have done, she still has compassion for them.

“Angel, I don’t want you getting hurt, Shadow, and I couldn’t bear it if anything happened to you and Aphrodite, it would kill us” I say as I take her hand.

“Thank you, but Aphrodite tells me she was made for this reason, by Selene and Hecate. We would never forgive ourselves if we sat back and did nothing as more people died. Thank you all for not judging me based on his actions” she says honestly.

“Well it has been quite the day for you, how about I show you to a room and you can have a moment to yourself, maybe have a bath, and relax and then Raphy can bring you up some food and the two of you can spend some time together” Rayne says.

“I will look out some of my clothes for you so you can be comfortable, and tomorrow I can take you shopping for your own things” Star says.

“Oh no, I couldn’t possibly accept that” she says, shocked.

“Don’t be silly. Us queens need to stick together. Besides, Raphael will be more than happy to foot the bill. It will help his protective side to feel at ease knowing he is caring for you in every way he can. So do it for him ok” Star says, explaining to her that I need to care for her, more so knowing how little she has been given in her life. She looked overwhelmed when Star said about being a queen, but she agreed with her none the less.

Auntie Rayne took her away upstairs while a heavily pregnant Star skipped off happily to get her some things to use. I quickly went to my room to give Star a couple of my t-shirts for her, Shadow would like having our scent on our mate, and it may help to relax her even more.
