The Forgotten Lycan Hybrid

It is hot, I am sweating like never before.. This must be one of the hottest days I have ever felt in my 26 years of life and to think, winter is gone only like a week, it is September and Spring is in full bloom I quickly look in the long mirror on my wardrobe, I look as if a tornado swept me up and threw me in a river.The first layers of my Long ash-blond hair out of my loose braid, hanging around my heart-shaped face, whilst the rest still in a braid. I knew I shouldn't have cut it in layers, but the headaches got the worst of me.I turned around and went into my en-suite bathroom.I just love my bathroom's layout! It is spacious, with a cornerbath, n big shower, the wasup built in a cupboard.The theme I have personally picked myself, grey, dark brown and black with the floor tiles that looks like lazy stones,even in the shower, there are steps leading to the bath,also the same tiles leading to a dark brown wooden deck surrounding the bath.I start to run the water for a bath and head back to my room while I wait for the water. Getting clothes from my closet, when my phone rang, feeling a little annoyed only to see my best friend's name come up "Heya!""Hey girl!Welcome back home!Tell me everything!" Mira squealed "I sigh inward, feeling annoyed all over again. "There's nothing to tell, really, we just went hunting every night,afterwards we drank till the next morning and then we started again all over the next day." but I knew that hunting was the very last thing Mira was referring to.I heard her sigh in disappointed on the other side "Arie, I was talking about Ibern, what happened there?He first blew up Social Media, stating he has met the love of his life and then all of a sudden there's nothing!Dude won't even talk to me!" I walked to the bathroom with my phone still to my ear to check the water level, turn the water of and sit down on the steps of the bath looking at my feet "Mira, nothing happened, I just told him I am not interested in a relationship at this moment, he took it offensive and next thing I know he was loading his bags in his truck and drove off like the devil is chasing him" I can hear her suck in her breath... oh boy... here she goes "Arie, are you MAD?! He is the freaking financial Director of Retail fashion inc.! You just blew him off?" I sigh in frustration, humans just don't get it! "Mira, lets just meet up for coffee later today okay? 3 O'clock at Sumbrè?" I didn't wait for her reply and just disconnected the line. Maybe I should just tell her the truth about what I am, but how can I tell her if I am not entirely sure myself? I know my father is an Alpha Lycan, but what was my mother? Nobody is willing to talk about her, it is forbidden.I just sigh, undressed and sank in the bath to calm my nerves.I have to find the guy who saved me, I know he will be able to tell me more. *Flashback* The air is chilly outside,I have this sickening feeling that trouble is coming, it has been three weeks since this feeling started. Even though I am only 9 years old, I could tell. Stevens my stepfather has been on edge for two months now. He usually was n nice guy, even though everyone in the pack is terrified of him. He is the alpha of Silwer Ridge pack, the pack of royal warrior wolves. Mother and I are forbidden to go outside since Stevens started to get edgy, why our movements are suddenly determined by his moods no one can or wants to answer.Today is an exception. Mother has been having weird dreams lately, she and Stevens was in his office when all of a sudden we all heard a loud roar followed by a bash and mother ran out of there in tears, that's when Zeruldha took my hand and came to the fountain.The fountain is in the middle of the rose garden, with lots of small flowers covering the ground, purple Irises and White Arum Lillies along the footpath. The fountain is big with a Phoenix bending over a howling Lycan statue,water springing out of the Lycan's mouth.a Matching garden stool and table is right next to the fountain. This garden is forbidden to the rest of the pack.I sit and look at Zeruldha who is looking nervously scouring around. "Zeruldha, why are you not walking? How come you can fly and I can't?" Zeruldha starts to laugh, her laugh sound like how I always imagine magical flowers would sound like." Arelise, that is because I am an Oracle and you are a Lycan, I fly and you shift" Zeruldha is beautiful, snow white hair, ice blue eyes, she always wears a white robe, going around her neck over her chest with a golden belt around her waist. Her aura is always so calming, gentle. When I first saw her I thought she is the moon goddess. She was a gift to mother from the Lycan king himself.Suddenly we hear a loud howl from the woods, followed by lots of growls, I remember the rain started to fall heavy at that moment. *End of Flashback* I suddenly realised the water is getting cold so I washed, climbed out, grabbing the big white towel on the rail next to the first step and dried of. Wrapping the towel around me, I walked to my walk-in wardrobe. Looking at the big clock against my wall on the right seeing it is already two o'clock.I grabbed a blue pair of high-waist skinny jeans, a yellow tank top and a pair of yellow spike heals and through it on.Deciding on a high pony tail and light make up with nude lip gloss. Looking in my mirror with a smile of satisfaction.The moon goddess is very kind to me.I am not short and not freakishly tall, just the right length, not runway model skinny, not overweight, just a healthy size with curves definitely where a girl needs them, C-cup breast, and not a huge boody, but definitely not flat.Though my eyes are a different colour, one blue and the other green with a reddish stripe in it, I am blessed compared to the other females in our pack. I looked at the clock again, time to go!I walked downstairs to the kitchen counter, grabbed my purse and car keys, deciding on the AMG GT Mercedes roadster.Walking through the door next to the fridge with Taylor Swift's '22' stuck in my head,man that is a classic!As I slide into the driver's seat,I put on the playlist,first song of course is "November rain" of Guns 'n Roses... (yeah... I'm that kinda girl!) while the garage door opens. The drive to Sumbrè was fast since rush hour is over. Pulling into the parking lot I can't help but laugh,Mira is standing next to her white Ecosport, looking at me and suddenly started doing a crazy dance. Mira is my best friend for 9 years now, The first human I met after I came here to the city. She is beautiful, loud and yeah... you guessed it, down right crazy, but in a good way! Her long, fiery red curls with milk white skin turned a lot of heads! As I climbed out of my car Mira came running towards me, pulling me in a tight hug jumping up and down like a school girl who just got her first date. "Arie, I have missed you so much! Never leave me behind for so long again!" She let me go and after I locked the car she pulled her arm through mine as we walked to the cafe " Mira, it has only been a week and I did invite you to come hunting with me?" She scrunched her nose while making a weird face " killing an animal is wrong,the poor babies and not to even begin with the blood, it makes me nauseas" As we walked through the cafe doors, I noticed young werewolves sitting at a table near the counter.They all looked up in shock, but immediately dropped their heads as to show respect. Being a Lycan I am used to it, Lycans are 10 times older,stronger and more powerful than werewolves even though they come from our bloodline, one can almost say we are the originals. Luckily Mira didn't notice. We sat at a table in the back corner next to the window at our usual spot, looking at the menu. A waitress came and took our orders and left.As I placed the menu down I look at Mira who is waiting anxious for me "what?" she raised her hands in the air " I am waiting patiently for you to tell me what happened between you and Ibern this week" I sigh, feeling uneasy again. "Ok,well, we messed around a bit, he started posting $h#@ on f*******: and I let him down easy, he got angry and left, end of story" I could see in her red cheeks and raised eyebrows she is not gonna let this one slide, which is understandable, since Ibern is her nephew. Luckily our orders came, I have a Chillie Chai green tea and she has a Hazelnut latte."Still why did you not just hook up with him? You know, give yourself a chance to fall in love, he might just be the one? Did you two atleast have s••?" I almost choked on my chai tea as I looked at her in shock "Mira! Why would you ask such thing? Intercourse is private you know?" She started laughing throwing her head back "what makes it so private? Everybody does it, you're not 16 anymore and you are so winded up like a rubber band about to snap, you need some serious s$%@#l release " I can feel my cheeks blushing and my ears turn red " We did have intercourse, but I told him from the start it's never going to be more than just s#$" I highly regret sleeping with Ibern,not only was he officially my worst ever, ( well,he is only the second person I have slept with,but still)the guy fell inlove... that is why a lycan can never be with a human, our needs are far more difficult to satisfy. Hell, even Rupert, the lycan who was my first didn't have enough stamina to please me thanks to my royal blood I guess. " So, how many bucks did you murder this time?" she asked annoyed " 1 Khudu, 180 meters, head shot,free lance" I answered very proud of myself as I take another sip of my tea. I know she hates the idea of hunting, so I lied to her, well... kind off... I did shoot 1 khudu and hunted down 2 springboks when I shifted and it was absolutely delightful! I always preferred game raw, it was my secret delicacies. " You are heartless,you know that? How can you kill something not thinking about the fact that she might have babies somewhere wondering where their mother is?" I looked at her mockingly " You watched too much Bambi when you where a child! No, it was contract hunting. The game tends to get too much for the camps they graze on, so we shoot them out to control the numbers. So rather they die quick and unexpectedly than starve" I took the last sip of my tea and placed the now empty mug aside. Taking the menu again and going through it, Mira does the same. After a few minutes I called the waitress again to place our orders. I ordered a 500g rump, blue-rare with chips and a caesar salad on the side, Mira ordered a 200g rump, medium to well done with a Caesar salad in the side, both a glass of Merlot. " How can you eat meat and not want someone to kill an animal?" I mocked her,she looks disgusted at me and I laughed while shaking my head " Hey,wanna go out tonight?" She asks. " Heck yeah! I sure could use a drink or 9" And I literally meant 9, I have a very strong immune which means I can't get drunk that easily " well, I was thinking we could start at The Range then work our way up to Route 55?" She always had the best drinking places in mind " You mean like pubcrawling?" Oe my favoroute! " Yes, I think we should get together at The Range about eight o'clock " I looked at my phone and see it is now half past 4, more than enough time! So glad I bathed already "perfect, why don't we use one car? You can choose, the Mercedes, the Porsche or BMW?" she squealed throwing her hands in the air as if she just waited for this moment " lets take the BMW" The waitress came with our food after we each drank a second glass of wine. After we ate I paid for the food and left a generous tip for the waitress and walked out talking about work. Mira is a private lawyer who specialises in divorces and Ì am the CEO of Health and Safety corp franchise, one of the second largest franchises in South Africa. Yes,staying in Bloemfontein is odd, but it is near the pack. We reached Mira's car and I said goodbye as she drove off and walked to my car. As I walked I notice three SUVs pulling into the parking lot and park next to my car. I walked until I am at my drivers' side when a scent of amber rose and pinapple hit me,sending warm waves over my body, waking my wolf. Ciara starts to scratch and howl inside me, as I looked to the SUV next to me I see a guy standing at his Drivers side, staring at me dead centre. He is very tall with broad shoulders, a straight nose,full lips. his eyebrows are straight, forming a 'v' with his nose. His skin is tanned. He looks exactly like Ares,the warrior god. Within a second he is towering over me, my back arched over my car. His strong arms pinning me. He is so close I can hear his heart beat sending shivers over my body. His pupils dilated and there is a hint of silver in his eyes. "Mine" is all he said with a soft growl, his lips almost touching the nape of my neck as he bends down smelling where my mark has to be. " Oh,this is classic, did she f#@k you too and left you cold turkey as well? Don't feel offended,it's her habit" I get this cold feeling over my body as if someone has just poured ice water over my,this can't be happening! Mate looks at me confused, turns to Ibern as he straighten up "What did you just say?" He sounds really pissed right now " That dear friend is the girl I told you about, of the hunting trip. " I feel like I can just wipe that smugg smile of his face with one blow and rip his chest open from behind, but before I could say anything, Mate looks back at me and what I saw shattered my soul into a million pieces : Disgust. Thanks Ibern,next time I see you,your heart will be ripped out and under my foot! I will kill you for this! My heart is breaking and I feel like I am about to suffocate,my wolf threatening to come out so I do the only thing I can,get in my car and spin off. We are in human territory. I drove to the nearest Liqueur store and went in with a hurry. I need alcohol! If mate wants to believe I am a slut without asking my side of the story then I will show him! I grab three bottles of Vodka, two bottles of Josè Guervo gold tequila and a bottle of Scottish Leader whiskey,go to the counter,pay and run out. In my car I couldn't stop the tears from falling, my chest is hurting like mad and I opened one of the bottles vodka, opened it and take two huge gulps before I drive home. As I pulled up to my driveway I opened the garage with my remote control and parked inside the garage, climbed out with the grocery bag of liqueur,grabbed my purse and keys and went into the kitchen,dropping my purse and keys on the kitchen counter, taking the bag with me upstairs to my room. Tears still threatening to come out of my eyes. I start to get angry, I will NOT let a stupid Lycan get the better of me,not him or his dumb human! I walk to the whiskey cabinet and get a goblet,pour in vodka and take a huge gulp. Pour in some more and gulf it down, three more glasses and I feel my nerves calming down. I pour another glass and go to my wardrobe.I look at myself in the mirror and almost have another heart attack. I look like sh$t! Tear trails run down my cheeks and my eyes are red and puffy. Great! Now I do need to take a shower. I look at the clock and see it is now six o'clock, I need to hurry if I want to take a shower. Just as I was about to head to my en suite my phone ping. It is that dreadful Ibern,the nerve! " Bad habits leads to disgrace,don't think I am done, you are MINE" Really, just what I needed! I am tempted to answer him, but I am just going to let it go for now.
