His Hybrid Princess

"Hi Aaliyah"

17 years after Aaliyah was born;

"I'm sorry, I will just clean this up."

I said as I get another rag and clean the wet floor with it.

"You better do useless s**t! Why did my sister ever adopted you! Now she's gone you're my responsibility!"

Marisa, my mom's sister snarled at me. Actually I didn't even know that I was adopted until she dropped the big bomb on me on her sister's funeral. Aka my mom.

I only sighed. Just two months of torture in this household and I'm 18! I'd be able to leave this hell hole!

I am 14 when my mom died. I didn't know the reason, they won't tell me. And I was left by her obnoxious, loud and rude sister Marisa. Marisa is nice at first when she is in front of the government officials while fixing the papers on who will get the highest money that her sister left on us.

But once we are on the house. She treated me like a maid. She have money but she won't hire one. Instead she prefers to make my life miserable than it already is.

After I clean the floor in the living room, I took a short shower to freshen myself up and look for comfortable clothes to sleep in.

Only two months of torture Ali. Only two months then you're out.

Suddenly I feel myself getting watched from afar. I took a long sniff to see if there's someone unfamiliar nearby.

That is one of the weirdest things that had happened on me. It started when I was 13, I started to get stronger and I can also smell and hear differently more like enhanced. I used to have glasses because my eyesight isn't very good but when I turned 13, it became better. Even better than normal ones.

I told mom about this but she only said that it is normal and its because I'm special.

I believed it at that time but now I'm still curious on what spell or magic is casted on me. Deep inside me, I know that I'm not only special but I'm different.

Back to smelling. I smelled unfamiliar smell. It almost smells like manly and dangerous. I can literally imagine its physical traits by its smell. I peeked my head on the window in search for the mysterious man. Hoping to find someone or not. I'm scared yet curious. Is it a stalker? Or some cute guy that is stalking? Yeah.. Totally different choices right there.

I saw a black shadow of a man, perhaps if my eye isn't lying to me. He is on the top of the tree, standing in a thick branch somewhat confident that the height is not scaring him one bit.

I gasped at his size. He is about 6'7 in height. His shoulders are broad as it can be. But I can't see his face, I want to see his face.. I should be creeped out by now but something about him interests me.

"Meow"

I almost jumped in shock when my cat named Snow jumped beside me. Its actually weird that I named him Snow when he is pitch black. I playfully scolded him and then look back on the mysterious man only to find a branch. He is gone. Where did he go?

I almost didn't get a wink of sleep that night.

"Wake up you useless b***h! You're wasting my time!" I heard my aunt banging while shouting outside my room. I locked the door for reasons that I'm not yet ready to said.

"Are you really going to piss me more than you should've and won't get out of that room now?!" I heard her loud footsteps go down the stairs.

Oh no, this is bad. I should go get ready. She's probably going to call her husband. I felt shudder run in my body when I remember what he did to me.

That dirty bastard!

After I showered, I cooked Marisa's and her husband's breakfast. A thing that I'm doing everyday as a routine. I try my best not to shiver and coward in fear when I see him. Antonio the sick bastard had audacity to stay here.

I grabbed an apple and a can of cat food for Snow and hurriedly run from the house to the school.

Well, at least they manage to give me education. According to my aunt, 'you're already useless in this house don't be useless in the society and go study!'

Quite a mind. But no, she never give me money or a lift to school. I make money by working after school which I'm very proud of. I swear me going to school is just an excuse for her to get rid of me during the day.

The school went by like a blur, nothing interesting happened, just constant bullying of the popular kids, whispering that my wardrobe choices is older than their grandma.

Seriously, not all can buy signature clothes all the time. I managed to get myself in this school as a scholar but I'm starting to think that its a bad idea because of dumb bitches and jerks bullying and looking down on people.

After hours of agonizing torture I hurriedly walked down the street on a small cozy cafe and entered the doors rushing to change my school uniform to a work uniform.

"You're early today.." My manager, Kristy stated with sarcasm. I'm 15 minutes late because the last teacher had overtime.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again" I apologized. Kristy is kind but strict, she always wants the schedule to be followed.

Just as I place myself over the counter I heard the door's bell jingle and I look up only to meet the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen.

Most beautiful electric blue eyes owned by the most beautiful man that I have seen in my 17.. Almost 18 years of existence. Everything around him shouted mysterious, dark and dangerous.

"Hi, Aaliyah.." He said..
