Chapter one: The night of blood and moon
The moon was red
Not silver
Not gold
Red
Lucien Blackthorn stood at the center of the ritual circle smiling as he waited for the full moon.
He wore a red coat which he normally wore anytime he wanted to be ruthless and do some evil sacrifice.
The night was dark as the forest was cold, the air smelled like iron, ash and fear
Tonight was the night.
That night he will be stronger than them.
Stronger than his father.
Stronger than his mother.
Stronger than them combined.
The ground beneath his feet was carved with an ancient symbol glowing faintly in dark crimson light.
Behind him, his army waited.
The witch stood at the front of the hybrids as she looked at him.
Are you sure you want this, she asked.
I want it, I have run all through my life with fear and am tired of running.
It is very dangerous.
I don't care if my life is full of mystery, so I don't fear the outcome.
Are you sure you want to do this,no going back.
I'm sure of it, afterall am a curse to nature, half werewolf, half vampire, and a very dangerous one.
What you are about to beI'mme is more dangerous than who you are right now.
I am the first hybrid, and I don't care about the outcome, he shouted with the top of his voice.
The witch stopped questioning him when he noticed the anger in his eyes, she knew what he could do whenever he got angry.
Bring them.
His voice was calm, deep, and cold.
Four prisoners were dragged forward and thrown near the altar.
A witch.
A vampire.
A werewolf.
And a girl.
“You cannot do this! This ritual will destroy balance! You will become something even nature cannot control!”
Lucien didn’t look at her.
He had heard enough screams in his life to stop caring.
The vampire growled, chains rattling as he struggled.
Do you think Adrian Blackthorn will not find you, do you think power will stop him from finding his prey, he always finds his prey and he will find you.
Lucien’s jaw tightened slightly.
Adrian Blackthorn.
His father.
The monster who hunted him since childhood.
The ruler of the supernatural world.
The man who destroyed his life.
I am not running anymore.
He stepped close to the altar as he looked at the four rituals.
Tonight I become the nightmare that haunts him, he said, smiling his evil smile.
You are already a nightmare hybrid
The wolf spoke softly and he spat blood on the ground.
Lucien ignored him as he walked to the last one, a girl, the double dagger.
She was quiet.
Too quiet.
She was watching him.
Her hands were chained, her long dark hair falling across her face, hiding her expression. She was not crying, she was not begging, she was watching him.
Strange.
He frowned slightly.
She just stared at him.
One of the soldiers dragged her front, she was not scared when he looked into her eyes.
Lucien stepped closer as he looked into her face.
The moonlight shone in her face as everything changed.
Everything stopped.
His breath seized.
His finger tightened around the dagger.
No way.
Impossible.
Mate.
He said slowly in his mind.
Hybrids don't have mates.
He was cursed. Broken. Forbidden by nature itself.
The girl slowly lifted her head.
Her eyes met his.
Silver and red.
Not human.
Not a vampire.
Something else.
She said slowly.
So you are the hybrid everyone is talking about how dangerous you are and heartless.
His heart pounded softly.
What is your name?
My name is Sasha black, she replied.
The word double dagger skipped his heart as he looked at her again.
Sasha, he said softly.
Sasha black she replied.
No, no this is wrong.
The witch gasped.
What is that Lucien asked
She is not a sacrifice.
The witch stared at Sasha with horror.
What do you mean by that?
She is a vampire and the last of her kind with a double dagger.
Lucien looked at her face again.
She is a curse and not a sacrifice.
Silence fell.
Lucien's grip tightens.
The ground cracked slightly.
His eyes darkened.
Impossible.
Half vampire, half double dagger.
That kind of bloodline was forbidden, created only for destruction.
The witch continues in fear.
If you kill her, you will awaken something far more dangerous than your father, something that will wipe out the entire wolves,and vampires.
She watched him, calm, silent, almost like she already knew.
You are not going to kill me, she asked as she looked at him in his eyes.
The bond became stronger than he expected.
Am going to spare you he said. as he dropped the dagger slowly on the ground.
You fool, your parents will haunt her.
He moved backward and broke Sasha's chains with his bare hands.
He dragged her wrist and pulled her behind him.
Then they will have to go through me first.
Suddenly.
The sky cracked.
A dark energy wave exploded across the forest.
All the hybrids turned in fear.
A powerful voice echoed from the shadows.
Deep.
Cold.
Terrifying.
Lucien Blackthorn.
Lucien froze; he knew that voice.
His blood ran cold, Adrian Blackthorn is here in the middle of the night, with his supernatural soldiers.
Why are you different from your other sibling, you finally see your weakness.
Lucien slowly pulled Sasha behind him and stepped forward.
His eyes glowed red and gold.
Stay behind me.
The voice laughed out loud.
You think you are strong enough to stop me.
Lucien held her tightly.
Hand her over son and I will let your city live.
Lucien's claws slowly extended.
As the moon became darker.
And war was about to begin.
