Davina the Hybrid

Chapter 17 For you

Davina P.O.V

I woke up with Jake's arms around me, my back was nestled to his muscled chest, his chin was on top my head and his light breathing made me relax into him again, I love mornings like this, just being in his arms made me feel safe and warm and loved. I wish we can stay like this all day. But, I know sooner than later Derek is going to either knock or shout by the door for us to get going to training.

I checked the time on the nightstand and was surprised to see that it was only 6 am we don't train until 9 am. which leaves us a lot of time until then. I smiled and snuggled into his arms again as he holds me tighter.

He clears his throat and says, "I can stay like this forever."

Closing my eyes, enjoying his warmth, "Mmm me too."

"But, I wanted to talk to you about something." he says.

Frowning I turn around and face him, "Like what?" I asked.

"Like, we never talk about how we all ended up as Hybrids when we know it's not rare at all, it's more that it's unheard of. How many Hybrids do you know?" He asks sitting up on his elbow and fist to his ear.

"I don't know any others like us, I wouldn't know actually, I only found out about the supernatural World.." I thought for a moment, "A month ago?" I questioned.

"Technically 2 months ago now." Jake said.

My jaw dropped, "You mean we've been missing for a month?"

He shrugs, "Yeah, a month, we've been so busy training these past 2 weeks with your mom, it was 2 weeks ago now that you also last saw Hardin."

"Yeah, still waking up, anyway, yeah Why are we the only ones Hybrids? The supernatural World has been around for many years." I say.

"Try Thousands of years. From what I've learnt, there's never even been any Hybrids known until now, the only thing I do know that's been around for thousands of years and is really old is, the first Werewolf is supposed to be Immortal, and a Vampire that's also Immortal, not sure about witches, warlocks or fairies, or other beings out there. The first Werewolf and his Mate are still together and they have an Island somewhere in Maldives, No one knows where it is, but they live there, far away from everyone, They say the Werewolf Immortals only had one son, and no one knows what became of him, they say the ones that come from that bloodline only have one son, and with that he was able to turn other werewolves into what they are today. We all have humanity within us all, we do age but we age slowly, and we are hard to kill if anything, our wolf Heals us in incredible speed, but we are obviously not immortal. As for the vampires, There is a Vampire King and Queen, they too also only had one son, and they never bothered turning others but their son did, and his others turned more people into Vampires, They say this King still exists and is the King of the biggest City in the World."

I frowned, "Tokyo?"

He nods, "Yeah, He's also hard to reach and has other people that do all his dirty work, another city he owns is New York, but again no one knows how he looks or who he is, rumours have it, he hides is fave even to his own people, his servants. The only time they see his face when he transforms into his demons side when he is angry at someone. He knows about everything that goes on in the World, he truly is a creature of the shadows. It's also reason why some people are so afraid of this Demetri guy, they think he is the Vampire Prince. It's been like this for thousands of years, Vampires grow all the time and become monsters and grow power and each time, these creatures think it's him, until someone is brave enough to challenge him. Like your mom will be doing soon."

I shudder knowing that he's out there somewhere, "Yeah, that's not creepy."

Jake laughed, "Sorry, but it's the truth."

"So Where's this werewolf guy anyway? What's he do?" I asked curious.

"He owns all wildlife, rivers, Lakes, mountains, rain forests, You name it he owns it all in North America, But, The Vampire Prince, who they now call Drake, owns most cities. The Werewolf Prince and Vampire King, Know of eachother and stay away from eachother, they have their peace that they made years ago. They used to go to wars with eachother but they outgrew it long ago."

"Do they have mates?" I asked.

"Yeah they do, the Werewolf had a son that no one knows where he is either. So does the vampire prince he has a son and daughters." Jake smiled.

"So do you know which Bloodline you come from?" I ask.

He shook his head saying, "No. My father's mate was a witch and he also wanted me with a witch that has a lot of political power in our city. She has other sisters and she's the youngest of her family. I'm an only child and Hybrid I knew of, my magic has been secret until now you know, and Aria and Derek and now Hardin. It's important know else knows." He says.

Nodding I think to myself, soon the truth will eventually come out only because of me. Now that I know the stories, I'm beginning to think my idea of coming back to fight is a bad idea. I know for a fact if I do, I'll be exposing myself along with Hardin and Jake. If I fight, and me being their mate, they'll fight alongside of me, because I too would do the same for them. Maybe I should just back down, but then, how can I when I too want to put a stop to all this going on. How can I not fight without exposing our true identity? I sighed and laid back down looking up at the ceiling in deep thought. I can't tell them what I planned to do. Jake agrees with Derek and Aria that I must run, when the day comes. No doubt Hardin would agree to it also.

"You know what I miss before this?" Jake said.

"What?" I ask.

"Sitting outside under the beautiful starry skies, beside a nice fire, just enjoying nature." He sighs and adds, "Did you know outside at your farmhouse or should I say, pack house, was the first time I ever sat around a fire?"

I sat up and looked at him while he was also lying on his back, surprised, "That was your first time?"

He glanced at me and gave me his beautiful crooked smile and said, "Yeah, it was, I lived in the city all my life and never had the time to just hang out and unwind and be myself. I wish we can do that again soon."

"I wonder if we can?" I said tapping my chin with my index finger and wrinkling my nose while I thought. I've never thought of asking Derek if we are allowed to do such things, which I don't understand how anyone that was a werewolf in the area wouldn't want to enjoy the outdoors and nature. We are however, all part animal, it is in our nature to do so. It's harmless and we won't be disturbing anyone.

I kick off the bed but before I can run off to ask Derek if we can do that tonight, I was yanked back into bed by Jake's strong arm as he pulled me around my waist and slammed be on the bed on my back as his body lays on top of me, sending Sparks through my entire body, making me excited for his touch. His breath in my neck sending shivers down my spine and I began wanting him to be closer to me, I wanted him to be between my legs, but instead he had one leg between my legs and his top half was above mine. He leans into my neck inhaling my scent making me tremble with need as he whispered, "Where do you think your going?" he growled as the sound that radiated of him made my wolf whimper in need of him, I held him close to me, pulling his lips to mine and completely forgetting what I was doing before he put me back on the bed with him. He deepened the kiss, while he moved his body in between my legs and I felt his hardness rub up against me as his hands started exploring my body. I felt his c**k Twitch as my p***y began to leak and throb. I wanted him and I can feel he wanted me. We both wanted to seal the mate bond between us, but then how can I without hurting Hardin.

Just like that, Hardin, came to mind and I gently pushed on Jake's chest and he stops kissing me and reaching into underwear between my legs, he puts his hands on either side of me, looking at me confused. As we stared at eachother breathing fast from the heat of our make out session, realization hit him and he said, "Sorry, I did it again didn't I?"

I smiled at him, "It was me too."

"The sooner we figure out this double mate bond thing the better." He says as he backs away from me, stands up and offers me his hand to help me out of bed. "Let's go have breakfast, I'll make you something."

"Alright." I say to him as I get dressed, I put on a long black flowy skirt with a red v neck short sleeve shirt. I did a half do on my hair putting the top half hair into a regular braid. Then I put on hoop earrings and ran to the bathroom quickly to add in light eye make up and added pink lipstick. Then, I ran out to meet Jake in the kitchen barefooted. He was already cooking up a storm.

I sat at the table and watched him as he worked with the eggs that I can smell cooking in the frying pan and he was humming to himself. He turned and stopped humming as if realizing I was watching him, he looked away with his crooked smile I loved so much, showing his dimple on the other cheek. He then, put whatever he was making onto a cutting board and added more ingredients into a bowl and poured it into the pan and began frying again, then toast popped up and he buttered them and placed them on the counter.

This is the first time I've seen him cooking something on his own, I just usually order him around and tell him or show him what to do or what I am doing when we cook together but this is the first time I've seen him cooking on his own. The man can cook. So can Hardin, the only difference with Hardin, is that Hardin is usually the one that bosses me around when he's cooking.

Hardin grew up rich, his parents had the money for him, but he wasn't like other rich kids in town where they were taking care of and not taught to be independent whereas Hardin, was raised by his parents and not by nanny's like most rich kids in our school back home. Hardin learnt how to cook at a young age, he even knows out to bake, but doesn't show anyone that part of him though. He's not a silver spoon if that how the saying goes for children that grow up living like princes and princesses.

Hardin had a good relationship with his parents, and his siblings. Although they weren't perfect, they didn't always get along, then again which family did?

"I was meaning to ask you something but wasn't sure how to ask you before and it's okay if your not ready to talk about it." Jake sounded nervous.

Frowning I looked up at him, I wonder what can be bothering him. "Ask me anything."

He takes in a breath, "Do you miss working with the horses?" he asks.

Giggling at his seriousness and nervousness when asking me about the horses is very strange and yet funny. "Of course I miss working with them, I hang around them everyday."

He takes a deep breath and nodded his head frowning as he continued cooking. The way he was avoiding eye contact now was making me think, that wasn't the question he wanted to ask. So there must be more he wants to talk about but won't yet. I hope he asks me soon, I want us to remain being honest with eachother always. I'll give him time to ask me whatever it is he wants to know. For now, I won't say anything about me knowing he's hiding something. Honesty is something I don't want to force out of him, it should come freely.

We ate our breakfast, he made Denver Sandwiches for us both it was the most amazing breakfast sandwiches I'd ever had. He grabbed my hand and lead me into our room as soon as we were done eating. We both sat on our bed facing eachother and I can feel his nervousness came back again. I touched his hand and gave him a gentle squeeze before letting go, "Just say what's on your mind Jake."

He nodded and inhaled, "I wanted to ask, I know that I heard before from what Hardin's brother Dave was saying, and even Emily, and your sister Alley and Zack" He looked at me then as I wondered where he was going with this, "You went through something big when Hardin went missing and when they talk about it, they don't really say what exactly happened with you, I know it's none of my business I was just curious."

Nodding with my brows furrowed, "Yes, well, When Hardin went missing I wasn't myself. I guess you can say, it's just hard to explain for me as everything seemed like a big blurry mess that I can't even remember what happened to me during that time."

"It just seemed like everyone tip toed around that time and not really mention it. well they'd mention it to a certain extent. but not really saying exactly what happened to you specifically." He stammered.

I sighed, well I was way over it by now and I don't see the harm in telling him the specifics of what I went through. I do, after all want him to know me and by seeing all the sides of me is fair enough. Especially the dark side of me and what happened at my darkest moments and also the lighter side of me, I want him to know all of it just like I want to know all of him. It's a bit scary to talk about because I haven't talked about what went on with me back then to no one before, they all saw me, and know but never talked to me about it openly as he's doing. This is probably what I also need to heal from that.

I nod my head and said, "After he went missing, after he was supposed to meet me, a lot of possibilities went through my mind at that time, like Where would he go? Did he run away? Was there trouble somewhere that he was hiding from me? And the other questions that I did not want to face was, was he with someone else? or the biggest one, Was he still alive? I searched our entire area, I searched the town we lived in, I searched places he and I have been alone together, places we discovered by ourselves and only kept to ourselves. I looked everywhere for him and not finding a clue of his disappearance anywhere I looked, it was as if he didn't exist anymore. That feeling crippled me for months. I stopped going to school, I stopped working with the horses, I came to a point where I stopped eating, and sleeping. Those parts I can't clearly remember, it's like my mind blocked it out. All I know is, I think I ended up in a hospital in isolation. I was made to eat and drugged to be able to sleep, it's what my sister told me. I cried for months, until I couldn't cry anymore. I felt like I was crazy like, as if I made him up in my mind and that he really didn't exist. Until Dave came see me in that hospital and talked to me about Hardin, that's when I think I snapped out of it, when I realized I am not crazy and that I didn't just make him up in my mind. Then Emily showed up and prayed for me and she also confirmed what I let myself believed that I wasn't making him up, Hardin was real and he was mine." My hands trembled as I put my hair behind my ear and I swallowed holding back tears I didn't know was already sliding down my cheeks, "Anyway, I got better and finally got to come home around winter time, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere I had to be watched." I broke off with a choke and wiped my tears and Jake grabs my hands to comfort me and I take a deep breath in feeling his love for me support me, "I was under suicide watch, because I attempted twice. Once at the hospital place and once at home in my old room. They moved me in their room at one point then later placed me in the room closer to the kitchen area where I felt safer, somehow, because I was far away from my old room. After awhile, I ran out feeling overwhelmed and took a horse for a run and finally for the first time being out in the land, I was able to breathe again." I stopped and played with Jake's fingers, brushing them as I talked, it helped to shave him touch me, "I took it day by day, and I found that working with the horses helped me get through that darkness, and slowly I began talking to my sister again, I was sad at how big my niece and nephew had gotten and how they would scurry away from me when I walked into a room. I missed out on so much, Then I saw Dave again and I remember just running into his arms as I cried and thanked him for visiting me the first time and that him coming around actually helped me. He was glad but of course he had his business he was building up at that time and was very busy, he kept me up with text messages once a week then Emily came to stay for a month and later went back to school, then she would call me once a day everyday. Just like that I got better and better, it helped when they didn't bring up Hardin's name, it took a lot of time and then when you showed up, I felt alive again for the first time in a long time, then of course Hardin appeared again and my World changed and now we're here." I smiled at him with tears in my eyes.

He surprised me by pulling me I to his arms and rubbing my back gently and I cried. It was hard to talk about but it felt good to finally let it out. I had no idea how much I still hurt from that time. I cling on to him crying. "Thanks for telling me, I'm sorry that happened to you and now I understand why you need Hardin in your life."

Then I looked up at him, "I need you too, your the first one to make me feel something again. No matter the choice I make about this mate bond, it's not easy for me to choose just one of you, I love you both and I don't want to lose either of you." I choked out and cried again, "All this is so frustrating and hard, I don't like having to mates!" I finally admitted.

He rocked me as I cried and rubbed my back, "Look at me Davina" He grabbed hold of my face, looking me in the eyes, "Whoever you choose, if it's Hardin, I still want you in my life even as a friend, it'll hurt me for I don't know how long but I'd have to leave for awhile until it doesn't hurt as much but I'll come back and will still be living in your pack, I made that Oath and I don't plan on breaking it, even if I have to lose you. So, I'm making my promise to you, if someday you choose Hardin, I will be forever grateful you gave me a chance and hopefully the Moon Goddess blesses me a new mate but no matter what happens, your my friend first above all, even if I gain a new mate."

I blink at him "If you get a new mate, I can't come first, your mate will have to."

He smiled and shook his head, "She will but, you'll always be my friend, you didn't judge me or ignore me the way others did in your pack, you took me as I am and I want to do the same for you if you don't choose me, but" I looked at him then, "If you choose me, I promise you will always come first above everyone and anyone, I promise I will always love you and not just because of the mate bond, you are my destiny, you are my dream come true. I will love, honor and cherish you and follow you for all eternity."

I laughed and cried and hugged him again, "Thanks for being so wonderful Jake. I love you."

"I love you too Davina." He whispered. "Now what do you want to do?" I looked at him then and smiled, I got up and went to talk to my brother.

Later that night, we were finally sitting outdoors behind the Mansion, away from prying eyes and ears, Derek even brought out a BBQ he was currently making us Baked potatoes, grilled Corn on the cob, Steak and couple cheese burgers that I requested. We also set up lawn chairs all around the fire and a few benches and one Picnic table where we'll be eating our supper. We even brought out a coffee maker with a generator to plug it into.

On this side of the mansion, we were surrounded by trees that started to have its fall colors, and we can see the beautiful stars up above us. This night was nice and cool enough, it was perfect. My wolf Celine, was enjoying being close to nature, but she still had a little bit of sadness at not being allowed to come out to enjoy it, but also grateful just to be out here just the same. We take what we can get until we're free, and hopefully soon.

I sat down at the lawn chair and waited for the food to cook, I of course made this fire myself. It was only Derek, Jake and I that were here. Aria had Assassin business to attend and she won't be back for a few days. Derek told us when he got back that she had no time to say goodbye as Demetri sent her as soon as possible.

Jake sat down on the chair opposite me, and he pulled out a guitar from behind him, I sat up straight confused, "Where'd you get that?"

"I gave him, what's a little Bon fire without good food and music?" Derek said as he was flipping the food in the BBQ.

Before I can say more, Jake started strumming a beautiful slow melody. I sat awestruck, gazing at him mouth gaping open. He can really play the guitar, and he was good at it, actually he was great. He closed his eyes and then just when I thought that's all he knew, he started singing, he had the most beautiful voice, it was angelic. I got goosebumps as soon as he hit the high notes. He also sounded sexy as he sang, I was so turned on right now on how beautiful he also looked and sounded. The light from the fire giving him the perfect warm glow, matching the playing of his guitar, and the sound of his voice. He looked almost alien like, so beautiful as if he didn't belong in this world at all.

He finished the song and Derek howls, "Whhhoooo!" I jumped and turned to look at Derek in shock as I forgot he was here, I forgot where we were. "Damn boy! That was a good one! Your good! Sing another one!"

Jake chuckled putting his hand through his hair, "Alright." He winked at me and started playing a faster tune and singing a song that was full of energy, and I got up from my chair and started to dance, moving my hips and I danced my way over to Derek, he laughed at me, "What are you doing?"

"Dance with me brother." I grabbed his hand and made him twirl while he burst out laughing still holding a spatula, I bumped my side hip to his hip and I bounced off him, and he off me and I laughed as well. We held hands and danced walked around the BBQ twice before letting go of his hand as he twirled me and Jake finished the song laughing. I bowed flipping my hair and Derek Saluted Jake with the spatula. Jake pointed at him still laughing.

"This is so much fun!" I walked over to make my French vanilla Cappuccino. As soon as I sat down, Derek says, "Come sit over here now, I'm done cooking. We sat and ate and laughed at random silly stuff we made up, joking around, roasting eachother. Just for once, being young adults with no cares in the World. Like as if we weren't in a bad place where everyone was trapped in this forsaken kingdom of slaves, traffickers, backstabbers, betrayers, rape going on, beatings and torture, in some of these houses and mostly by the big Mansion sitting in the middle of it all. It felt good to forget everything. Even my wolf was more relax and chill than usual. After we ate, we sat around the fire, enjoying each other's company and Singing a few songs we all knew while Jake strummed for us.

It's been so long since we did something like this, something so normal, it refreshed my mind and made me remember what we were all fighting for, why we were all doing so much training. So that one day, whenever my mom Aria, comes to us it is time to do our roles. Where I finally get to run away from this place to my freedom. Until I come back and fight alongside my long lost family and also fight for their freedom, so they can get their lands back and everything else Demetri has taken away from the throughout the years.

Aria has been planning this attack for years. Carefully planning every single move she attends to pull off in order to win this place back into its rightful Heir. She says, it's only right that Derek must take over once she's done leading, which is alright with me as I just wanted to get back to my own home in the half wilderness and be with my horses whom I miss so much and the rest of my family who I miss even more each day.

We danced a few times and sang a few more songs, laughing at nothing and at everything at once. Being goofy and letting loose, something we weren't use to doing since we got here. We didn't even care if we were heard by others in the area. They couldn't do anything especially with Derek, Demetri's Head Warrior on our side.

It sucks, that I can't do anything like kiss or hold or sit close to Jake while we were outside in case someone saw us, because everyone knows by now I'm supposed to be Derek's partner. Which repulses me each time I have to pretend. At least we don't do anything major other than hugging or a peck on the cheek every now and then, as Derek has a Reputation of Demetri's Head Warrior of Warriors in this Establishment.

Derek surprised me by whispering in my ear as he put his hand on my shoulder, "Listen well for this next song, I'm gonna sit beside Jake now."

I listened to Jake as he started slow strumming and began singing slow beautiful song, I closed my eyes feeling the words as he said them, they felt similar to what it was like meeting Jake for the first time and getting to a point in our lives that sounds similar to now, and basically saying, the longer we stay together the more our love for eachother grows. Then smiling with my eyes closed, I knew it was a love song made just for me. I opened my eyes a smile spreads wide on my face as I clapped and Derek claps, then Derek says, "That was a good job Jake, well done, thank you." Frowning at him in confusion, he pointed at me with a wink said, "That was for you." Jake looked down smiling, I knew it was from him.
