The Kings Hybrid

Chapter 6

Dominic

"Please don't touch me " she says sadly.

Looking at her I see she holds herself like a scared child, her eyes holding fear. Worry flushes my system making wonder what has her so scared. On closer inspection I see scars that litter her legs. All varying in size but the most evident is the one running up her right thigh. Who would ever hurt her like this.

Who did that to her? My wolf Marco says

I don't know but I'm going to find out.

"How did you get that scar on your leg?" she looks up scared as if the answer would make me angry with her. "Please tell me, I promise no one will hurt you." I plead with her.

She looks around at my pack members before focusing back on me. Searching my face for any hint of a lie, when she sees that I'm telling her the truth she nods her head.

"My...m-mother gave it to me when I was 11." Making me growl loudly.

She took a step back from me in fear that I might harm her. Her violet eyes scan the area for an escape route.

"I didn't mean to scare you" taking a breath to calm myself, continuing in the most gentle voice I can "Why did your mother do that to you?"

I need answers on why a mother would ever do that to her child. Feeling the rage boil in veins. Knowing my eyes are deep pools of onyx black I shut them tightly, my wolf is clawing to get out and kill her mother for what she's done. When I'm finally able to push Marco to the back of my mind, I open my eyes to look at her.

When she sees that I wont hurt her she tells us how she got the scar.

"I was 11 when she gave it to me....." taking a moment to collect herself. "She was upset that I ran away from her and one of her guest" stressing the word guest as if its the most fowl word ever spoken. "One of my mothers guests wanted..... to have...... t-their way with m-me. Of course she said yes." I could feel the rage boiling in my veins, just more violently this time. My beta, gamma and warriors et out a low menacing growl. We were all trying to calm our wolves from breaking free. Waiting for her to continue when she noticed that we weren't a threat to her and started again.

"I ran away...... I didn't want to go back but I knew I had to. I had no where else to go. So I waited till it was closer to sunrise. Knowing that they would be asleep. When the sun finally started to rise I made my home, I saw my mother waiting in the back yard for me. She was so angry I didn't want to make her angrier so I went to her. She started calling me names, but it got worse when I saw that in her hand she had a silver knife. I was scared to I turned to run but she caught me by my hair pulled me to the ground and slid the knife up my thigh." She didn't know by the end of her story she was crying.

Slowly I reached in placing my hands on her cheeks, wiping away the tears she shed. Without a second thought I pulled her into my chest and held her trying to bring some sort of comfort.

She stood frozen for a moment before she wrapped her arms around me. Letting her cry into my chest broke my heart that someone so innocent went through something so terrible. It felt like an eternity as her tears fell from her.

"Its okay now little flower I promise no one will ever hurt you again." I whisper

No one will ever hurt her again. if they do I'll rip them to pieces. Marco says protectively

Have the maids prepare a room for her at the castle. I mind link my Beta Marcus.

Yes, Alpha He says back.

Her crying has finally calmed down to a few hiccups. She pulls away, I can still the over whelming sadness from that night. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to breakdown like that." she says so quiet I almost didn't catch it.

"Its okay little flower, you needed to let out the pain of that night and I'm just happy I could help you do that." I say with a smile that says she can come to whenever she needs to.

"Come with us little flower, I'll take care of you and no one will ever hurt you again I promise." while looking down into her eyes pleading.

She furrowed her brow searching my eyes again for the sincerity of my offer. When she finally sees that I'm being honest she looks down and nods her head.

"What did I say about princesses and their crowns?" I ask teasingly

"That they shouldn't look down their crowns might fall off. And even if they don't have one its practice for when they get an actual one." she states

"Yes, that's right little flower. Now, do you remember my Beta Marcus?" I ask pointing towards my beta she simply nods her head.

"My Gamma Derrick, my warriors Dakota and Xavier?" another simple nod.

They all flash her a bright smile. happy that she remembers them.

"Its good to see you again Beatrix" Dakota and Xavier says at the same time smiling brightly.

"You too. How did you remember my name after all this time?" She slightly tilts her head to the side showing her evident curiosity. I fight the urge to let out a chuckle.

She's still innocent as that innocent child we met on the steps of the pack house all those years ago. Marcus states with a broad smile on his face.

I know, I'm happy she still have some of her innocence. But I do wonder why she left her pack now, why not before if it was so bad?

Marcus looks as if he wonders the same thing. Were pulled out of our conversation by Beatrix asking me something but I didn't quiet get.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

"I asked how far away the pack house is?"

I look at her and say proudly "Oh, Little flower your not stay in the pack house."

She looks confused by this. Letting out a laugh at her confusion that she thought I would let her stay at the pack house when I have all intention of her staying with me in the castle. Sadness over takes her features and realize my mistake.

"You will be staying in the castle with my high ranking officials the council and me." I say quickly.

"There's no need for...."

Not letting her even finish her sentence I cut in with "Not a word about it little flower, I want to make sure your safe so you will be staying close by so we can keep an eye on you."

"Why?" "Why What?" "Why do you feel the need to treat me so?"

"I feel a need to protect you, as if you are meant for something important." I state simple

She studies me for a minute before she accepts my answer. I have a feeling she still skeptical that I do want to protect her.

I'm unable to explain why but something deep with in my soul is telling me she meant for greatness and I must protect her with my life, till she can protect herself.
