Chapter 5

ALEC:

The past week started becoming more and more intense. The tension in the air was thick. As families prepared for the young ones to attend bootcamp, all because this girl came back from the past to cause pain, to those who had caused her pain. I visited her every day to check her progress. Each day she’s getting stronger, and stronger.

“You visit her everyday Alpha, and each day she gets stronger” I stare at the hybrid in front of me. Her black hair was coming back blacker, and blacker. Her brown skin pigment came back. “She should be waking up any day now with her progress. Do you want to try something that may help?” I looked at the doctor and nodded my head. “Take off your button up Alpha.” Now my eyes were suddenly shocked. Take off my shirt?? But I knew better than to question our leader again. I unbuttoned my top, as the doctor propped Vanessa into a sitting position. “Get behind her, and allow your heated body to do that rest.”

Okay...cuddling with the comatose hybrid? Today can’t get any weirder. I had propped myself on to the bed, where she was in between my legs. Her head laid onto my bare chest. Her cold body sent a shiver down my warm body. Her heartbeat began to sync with mine. The numbers began to rise on the monitor attached to her. “Well if you look at that, her natural wolf was just craving some body heat.” The doctor grabbed his stethoscope and checked her breathing. “Well get comfortable, just stay there for about 20 minutes.” This crazy doctor.

He had walked out of the room, and I was on the bed with Vanessa laying on my chest. It was a strange feeling inside. She was young if you looked at her. You’d never known she was 700 years old. I looked at her features from above. I put my hand on the back of her head, stroking her hair, and my other arm laid on her hip. She had this beauty mark under her right eye that was so small. Yet without it, it would make a huge difference. Her hospital gown rolled off her shoulder, and that’s when I noticed it. She was mated, yet it was fading. I ran my finger over her mark, and her body twitched to my touch. A claw mark was slashed over the mark. I don’t remember that being part of the memories she shared.

Not long after, I drifted off into sleep. Not remembering the last time I’ve so long of sleep.

“Alec get up, we have a festival to prepare for. Packs are already coming in”

I shot up awake, very groggy to notice my Beta was standing at the door. Vanessa was still laying on me, when I noticed the doctor had taken out her chest tube. “How long have I been asleep?” I carefully lifted myself from the bed, slowly laying her down on the bed. “Let’s get out of here, so we can talk.”

“So Alpha Kane has arrived, with only 20 of his pack. Alpha Marcus, and only his royals. And a lot of lone wolves are coming in,” Michael had filled me in with what happened the 5 hours I was knocked out. “Also, we have prepared for the selection starting Monday. So, boot camp starts soon.”

Being the bad guy was never my intention, but seeing what’s fit for the future of this pack is what I need to think of. I had gotten angry emails, and mind links from parents about their teenagers going.

“Tonight, the mating festival is important because it may be the last one in a long time. So, attendance is mandatory.” He left my side while he made the preparations.

I had left through the front gate, greeting everyone who had walked through. Meeting the Alphas who remain unmated. You aren’t a complete Alpha until you’re marked. But lately a lot of people have not been able to find them. Books tell us about a curse laid within the hybrid.

VANESSA:

I was trapped in my mind. My body is trying to find a way to recover. It became endless torture, where I was thinking maybe I wouldn’t make it out of this alive. This is not what I wanted in my whole life. A rejected a mate, my Alpha killing me, and a life where I never got to be a regular pup. Suddenly my mind got hazy.

“Doctor her blood pressure is dropping.”

“Hey oxygen levels are dropping...down 65%”

A dark light flashed as a man walked my way.

“Father...”

I saw my father’s figure walking up to me. I’d recognize the man who took me in when I was abandoned. Another light flashes and a woman walks out, saying that I had no idea who she was. She was dark skin, bright yellow eyes, and was on the hefty side.

BOOM. Another light flashes. A woman walks out. White skin, bright blue eyes, but her body was covered in scars.

BOOM. A red light flashes. It’s a man. A darker man, with red as can be eyes. No white to them.

“Father, what’s the meaning to this? Am I dying?” My approaches me, embracing me in his arms. This felt oh so real, and I missed this so much. He pulled me back from my shoulders, and I saw the tears in his eyes. He took a step back. “Daughter, I am the Wolf God, this is the Vampire Goddess, this is the Witch God. And this man is the Siren Goddess. We come here in warnings of the darkness that has awoken when you woke up.”

“What darkness has awoken? I’ve come back to do no harm father?” The Siren goddess, whom we pray to each night, steps forward, and takes my hand in hers.

“My darling when you were put into a comatose state, a spell had been placed upon you. You carry all the energy of life, and death. Whoever has died any time after you were put down. They are coming to life.” My heart started to sink. Me being alive again, is going to bring the best and the worst people.

“You are the last gene to the Vampire and Siren existence. Thousands of them will be coming back to life, looking for their Queen who bounds them together.” The Vampire Goddess looked nervous, as if she were hiding something from me.

“But wait if I am their Alpha, why is it all a bad thing? Is there something worse coming?” I pleaded for answers, but they began to fade out.

“Charge to 300, and push another epi—”

“Clear.”

I had awoken from my trance. Back in the hospital room, where all these healers were over me. Touching me nonstop. “Get off of me, I am fine!” I sat up as them bringing me back, stopped me from getting the answers I needed to protect my people. Is it best that I leave?

“What time is it?” The doctor seemed afraid of me. I didn’t understand; Until I touched my face and my fangs were sticking out.

“It is 7 in the evening Luna; the mating festival is going on.” I scrambled out of the bed, trying to find clothes. With a big festival, it means more people. If what my father said is true, a lot of enemies were coming to life. Untamed wolves, and vampires, and loud screams of the Sirens. “Can you please take these out, I need to speak to the Alpha.''

“Luna, you need to get some rest. It can wait till tomorrow.” They talk to me as if I was asking permission. Something was creeping by, and I needed to stop it. I had ripped the IV out of me, and quickly transformed into my wolf, giving me a chance to get there faster. I grabbed the clothes I was wearing in my mouth.

The area where the festival happens, was about 9 miles long. I ran as if my life depended on it. I sniffed the air, and it was filled with so many creatures...

ALEC:

The festival was turning out to be great. People were distracted from what’s really been going on. Drinking, mingling, eating, and just having fun. Many of the arrogant Alphas had managed to get the attention of a lot of jailbaits.

But it didn’t take long for things to turn ugly quick. A huge wolf jumped on the stage. Dark glowing eyes, it’s Vanessa.

AROOOOOO!

Everyone quickly turned their attention to her. She shifted to her human form, exposing her naked body. She was out of breath and seemed startled. What was going on at this point. Did she want to try to be in charge? Was she going to attack?

“This festival is ending now! If you know what’s going for you. GO HOME!”

Her Alpha voice had everyone submitting. Angry that she would try to take my position away. “Vanessa, stand down! You have no right to stop anything.”

“Danger is coming, and it’s best if everyone returns to their quarters until I say it’s good to come out.” Maybe it was the Alpha and pride in me. But I ran to her and got into her face. “This is not your pack; you are no one’s Alpha. Get out of here, or we will have a problem.” But she was looking past me. Vanessa had shifted back to her wolf, shoving me out of the way into the crowd.

She had darted through the crowd, attacking someone. Then another, and another. What was going on?

These people hadn’t even done anything, yet she was making them kneel to her. It didn’t take long for one of them to release their fangs. They seemed like newborns, looking for blood. They were rebelling. They all went to gang up on her. And now everyone is fighting these blood suckers. I had sprung into action. jumping into my wolf form. While taking a jump on one of them, he had managed to sink his teeth into my neck. Took me a bit to shake him off.

It became a blood bath, and we were losing. Vanessa broke out of the pile and shifted into her human form. She took several deep breaths before she let out a screeched like never. It was so loud it had dismantled everyone around. Some fell to the ground grasping their ears, some passed out, and some didn’t make it.

“Enough!!! I am your Queen. You don’t breathe without my permission; now kneel bastards!” Most were so terrified they had submitted.

“A Siren too?”
