Davina the Hybrid

Chapter 16 Tomorrow's another Day

Hardin P.O.V

After a week went by, I was beginning to lose hope in finding Davina in this huge place. So far, I've been staying in this house and I've been visited by Demetri the leader of this establishment once only to check if I was still on with him and letting me know things might change and management might change on how they do things around here, I was supposed to do a few test or trials but that's been held off for a while. This witch only came twice since I've turned. Demetri has no idea about my werewolf side, only the witch, she promised she wouldn't tell anyone about me. So far, it seems she has kept her word, no one knows about me, I hope. It's quiet here all day. There's no tv so I've asked the witch to get me some books and she did during the time when she came to check on me 3 days ago now. She doesn't say when she'll be back but when she does the magic vibrates through the entire house when she comes through the door. She told me it was her ward binding spell on the house, it only lets her and Demetri inside. Demetri came 5 days ago now. I'm pretty sure someone will show any moment. As it's already been 3 days since she showed up.

When she comes she doesn't say much even when I ask her questions. I always ask her who she's working for or if she can help me escape, she never says anything. Just comes and drops off food or brings my books and then leaves.

I took out my frustrations on one of the rooms in this house by morning everything was back into place as if nothing even happened. This house is enchanted with her magic to keep things in place, to keep things in order, seems like the only things that don't go back to normal is the living room, kitchen and my room. I left a book on my nightstand and it was still there the next day.. I left a book in each of the other rooms and they magically appeared back in my room on my mini bookshelf. So, that's how I know the other rooms are enchanted to remain untouched. So it's safe to go in one of them and smash it all up whenever I want to.

I don't know how long I can stand just staying in this house. I am not used to staying in one place for so long. I love the outdoors, I crave the outdoors. Growing up in a small town on the Country side, I spent my whole life outdoors, cutting the grass for my mom or trimming flowers in the garden with her, or spent hours throwing a foot ball around in the field. My favorite was always going for runs down the dirt road or running in the forest. Thinking of all the stuff I used to do made me miss home and made me appreciate it even more than I did before.

Thinking of home, made me miss Davina so much. This pain of her absence was eating me alive. I thought I missed her before when I was working with Tim, but this type of loneliness for her was way worse, mostly because I got to see, touch, smell, and feel her again, and also realizing that she is my destined mate made it all so perfect. Which is why I am just sitting here trying to read this book in my hands to pass the time.

Reading was helping me before, but now I can't seem to even read one sentence because I can feel the bond slowly breaking. It's making me feel something I've never felt before in my life and I hate it. I get this disconnection feeling, like I don't quite belong in this world to a point where it gets hard to even breathe. My entire body trembles and I begin to sweat, then I can't breathe, then I pass out. I'm not sure what is truly going on with me but I swear I am losing my mind in here. Maybe I already have.

I put down the book and took a shot of water from my glass cup. I closed by eyes, this waiting game sucks. I wonder if Jake is alright? I don't particularly like the guy but, I'm not even sure where they put him either, is he in isolation like I am? or is he somewhere far worse. I wish I knew more on what goes on around here but I don't. What's the deal with this witch anyway? What was she supposed to do with me other than leave me in isolation. I hate not having answers. A deep growl escapes my chest and I shake the feeling of frustration away. What's the point? I won't get answers until and if I ever got out of here.

A day after I turned, I did try to get out of here and it wasn't fun. The moment I tried to open one of the windows in my room an electrical shock zapped my entire body and I went flying to the other wall, breaking a hole in it. I tried again this time it made me weak and I sagged to the floor. Then I tried a third time and my hands burned. It seems the ward she put up around the house changes its way of keeping me inside the house. Then, the next day after that she showed up and told me she felt everything I tried to do when I tried to break out. She warned me not to do it again as it will eventually knock me unconscious. All the while bringing me blood supply, food, and then asked what else I may need and so on.

The walls vibrated and I sat up straighter in my chair facing the front door and waited. In walked the witch who calls herself Becky carrying a backpack. She nods her head at me in her usual greeting. I grunted back, knowing I'd just waste my time asking her questions she won't even bother answering. She opens the fridge and adds in more blood bags and food. Then she walks over the the table where I am sitting and asks, "Any requests before I leave?"

"Any chances of me leaving this house?" I asked, even though I told myself I wouldn't but here's trying.

She pierced her lips then said, "Soon, just waiting for Demetri's orders, he's busy with a lot right now."

I raised my eyebrows shocked I finally got an answer, "What am I to expect when the time come for him to make up his mind."

She shrugged and said, "Not sure, is there anything else you need?"

"No." I growled.

She sighed and said, "I'll be back in a few days time to deliver more blood." She put on her backpack and turned to walk out.

"Wait!" I raised my voice, she stopped and turned to look at me, "Is there any chance you can tell me when I go for trails or those tests?"

She shook her head and left. I was left again with unanswered questions. I sighed and stood up to grab some blood in the fridge and took it down cold, I didn't bother to warm it up like I usually do and drank it in large gulps. I miss fresh human blood, not as satisfying as these things.

As I was putting the blood bag in the garbage can by the doorway, I felt goosebumps creep up my arms. I was immediately put into alert. My eyes scanned the windows trying to look outside but it was no use, all I see is darkness, a black mass covered the windows at all times, even during the day. I punched the window shattering the glass out of frustration of this stupid spell keeping me in here. I frowned as I started to see a hand going around in circles where the other window was. I walked over and was shocked to see the outside getting clearer, as if someone was wiping the window clean, the hand disappeared and I was met with a small heart shaped face, blue icy eyes and red plump lips. Using Vampire speed I raced to the window and went close to the glass. A smile spreads across her beautiful face and a spark feeling shot through my entire body making me feel more alive than I have been feeling in a long time. I felt our happiness at seeing Davina.

"Hi." She whispered, I can hear her through the window because she was speaking next to the other half of the window I broke. Her voice was more than music to my ears, it filled me with warmth and comfort.

"Davina? Is that really you?" I asked.

Before she can answer the walls vibrated and before I can tell her to get away from here and run, Becky came strolling in with another 2 figures behind her. A smaller woman dressed in all black fighting gear and a cloak, behind her was a tall man with long black hair and beard. Frowning "What's going on?" I asked.

Becky shut the door and said to me, "I'd like you to meet my friend and leader, Aria Sawyer."

The woman with a cloak took off her hood, she had black hair that was in a military style bun and she had grey eyes, she turned and nodded her head at the man behind her and said, "It's safe to unveil."

"The man turned around and spoke in a different language and gold sparkles came out of his hands as he waved them around and up over his head and waved them in the air then turns to me as his image began to change, his hair grew shorter, and he had a messy hair do and his beard disappeared and his blue eyes turned dark, Jake. Then a small figure came from behind him, my Davina, with her beautiful Black hair tied in a high pony tail, she wore cargo pants and long sleeve turtleneck crop top all in black with black high heeled boots. She broke into a smile and had happy tears on her face. I was so shocked at seeing both of them I fell to my knees and cried. I'm not usually a crier but my emotions have been so badly bottled up with worry for Davina and a little for Jake that relief that they were okay came rushing forward. I feared for their lives and I was so relieved they were both alright.

Her arms were around me placing soft feathery kisses all over my face, kissing my tears away, I grabbed her and held her in my arms and stood up with her, I breathed in her sweet hot chocolate scent that I love so and missed so much. My heart was finally safe in my arms. I never want to let her go again. I felt her crying against me also, we stood there crying in each others shoulders for awhile and I can hear the others talking amongst eachother, but I ignored all of them. I held her to me tighter and I felt her squirming in my arms and her voice finally squeaked, "Hardin, your squishing me, I can't breathe!"

"Sorry." I released her and wiped the tears off her face and grabbed her hands and kissed them, then I leaned in for a kiss but she put her hand to my mouth stopping me. I frowned at her, feeling hurt by her rejection of my kiss.

She smiled apologetically and she said, "Hardin," I knew that tone, she was telling me something I didn't want to hear, "Remember when you wanted me to give Jake a chance and that you'd respect my decision but you'd still be there for me?"

I grimaced, I forgot I made that promise to her, so I'm guessing she went for it, "Yes." I said not to happy.

"Well, I asked him to be my boyfriend for awhile." She said.

Kal immediately growled after not talking to me since the day we changed. But she's our mate! She is, but she's also Jake and his wolf Ryder's mate too. Another possessive growl escapes from Kal as he goes quiet again. Davina's eyes grew wide.

"You broke the spell?" she asked.

"Yeah, well she did." I gestured with my chin at Becky.

Davina turned to Becky and back at me, "What's your wolfs name?" she smiled at me.

Kal jumped excitedly in the back of my mind that our mate wanted to know his name. "His name's Kal."

"Hi, Kal, my name's Davina, my wolfs name is Celine." she said smiling at me.

My heart melted at her kindness towards my wolf, and Kal wanted to jump out and carry her to our room. I let Kal talk this time, "Nice to meet you mate Davina, may I say hi to Celine?"

"Sure." Davina's eyes glowed an electric blue and I knew Kal was now talking to Celine, She says "Hi Kal, I'm Celine, nice to meet you mate."

"Pleasures all mine." Kal Says.

Jake suddenly growls which made my eyes snap to his and I pushed back Kal again before he completely takes over, instead I reached over to shake Jake's hand, "I'm glad your okay, and taking care of our girl."

He shook my hand in return, "I'm glad your okay too."

Davina smiled at the both of us and I knew I promised I'd give her that space for her to be with Jake but it's different now because now I'm stuck in here. I don't like it one bit, but her happiness means more to me than anything.

"I've tried everything I can to get to you, I was so worried." Davina says suddenly pulling my whole attention to her again. I gave her a small hug then, Becky spoke up, "We can't be too long, because I have no idea when Demetri is coming to see him next and we all can't get caught in here, so say what your going to then get going, I'll be going out first to make sure things are clear and I'll send Aria a message when it's clear to leave."

I sighed and pulled Davina back into my arms and just breathe in her scent as she spoke, "I was still awake after they poisoned us with Wolfsbane and Deadly Nightshade, but after awhile they took us to separate locations, and I lost you all, later I woke up at Demetri's place where he gave me three choices, that I can either be put to death, or be sold to the highest bidder or become Demetri's other wife." Jake and I growled at the same time, the sound vibrating through the entire room making Aria and Becky look at us, She continued, "To make a long story short, I was sold to the highest bidder Derek who I later found out is my twin brother and Aria is my biological mother, I began training with Derek's soliders and have to pretend to be a vampire and his love interest." She rolled her eyes and I smiled, "Then few days later, Jake found Aria and she brought him to us and he's been training as a new Assassin with Aria and I'll be starting the same training tomorrow with them. Also, Aria has been trying to take over the breaking and trails and tests of new warriors and soldiers." She shrugged and looked at the others, "Am I missing anything?" They all shook their heads no.

"So, that's why Demetri is taking long to come see me, he's putting things in order." I say looking at Becky because she knows what I've been asking this whole time.

"Yes that is why, he hasn't come to get you yet. I didn't want to tell you anything to get your hopes up in case he changes his mind. He still might, however, since I know now that your part of Aria's group I'll try my best to get you over to stay at their mansion immediately I'll also have to cast a spell on you for when you'll be made to swear an oath to Demetri it block that sacred bond and also act like as if it has been sealed. Demetri will never know, I did the same Spell for Aria, Derek and a few others before you. Now, you all must leave quick."

I reached over and turned Davina around and kissed her before she left from me again, then she backed away from me smiling at me, "See you again soon, Hardin, I love you."

"I love you Davina." I said to her and then Jake waved his hands around them both muttering spells and Davina disappeared and his looks changed. Aria nodded at me once and they waited by the door for Becky, she turned to look at me and said, "This thing that Aria is doing, is a good thing, we'll be saving a lot of people, Davina is lucky Derek did not lose her to the other bidders, she would have been- Well never mind, she's safe and now you know, and now you can try not to tear this place apart from the inside." I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face, "I feel when something happens to this place, like the broken window, and the times you tried to leave, anyway I've got to get going, be patient, you will get out soon, but we're not sure when, as Demetri needs lots of time to put everything together for Aria to take over, this place is huge and he has to deal with a lot of people here, not just you."

"It might take another week or so to get things in order." Aria spoke next, she was straight forward and held her head high, I got royalty vibes from her. The last time someone made me feel that strong authority vibe was when I was with Timothy, my old boss before all of this, he was a Vampire King. "What kind of place is this anyway?" I asked.

"It's like a hidden kingdom, of mostly vampires and a few trusted oathbound werewolves and witches. They're way of making money is through gambling, and selling women of all species, in hopes of some creating a different species.. This Demetri, has 2 wives, a Werewolf and Human, who he forces I to s*x, in hopes of creating a hybrid, but for some reason, rumours have it that each time the women become pregnant, they can never carry to full term, they can't seem to figure it out. We best be on our way we've been here too long. Becky if you may?" Aria asked turning to Becky.

"I'll be back in 3 days time with more food." She looks at me and I nod at her, and she crept outside for a few moments and came back in, "Hurry." They all ran out together with stealth movement.

I sat back down with a breath of relief. I was so close to losing hope and losing myself today, I almost gave up on everything. But the moment I saw her face through the window, my whole world fell back into place again, and the moment she was in my arm talking to me, I was finally able to breathe and everything started making sense again. I don't care if she chooses to date Jake, I'm just glad she alive and is safe. She's safe with Jake, I know he'll die before he lets anything happen to her which is what I would do too. I now had purpose, she was my purpose of living. My one true mate, my love, my best friend, most of all My world, my life, My Davina.

Now, the only thing to do is wait for the decision to be made for me. Just wait until they come get me out of this forsaken house. At least now, I'll be more patient, now that I got most of my questions answered I'll be more than willing to wait, however long it takes. Another question I had but forgot to ask was, How in the hell was Jake using magic when he was suppose to be just a werewolf? So he's a Hybrid of some sort? Is that why he too has been mate bond with Davina? What happened to him after we separated and how exactly did he find Aria? All these new questions came up and all I can do now is wait, like I have been this entire time. I sigh and head over to my room to sleep. For the first time in a long time, I fell asleep without tossing and turning, without worry, stress, and without feeling this agony disconnection feeling of loneliness for Davina, now I know she's safe. I smile to myself as I fell asleep knowing she found a way to get to me, she refueled my heart again with her love and warmth, which helped me sleep through the whole night. I will carry that and keep it close to my heart while I wait patiently for me to be free again.

Davina's P.O.V

Seeing him has made me feel more complete than I have been feeling, don't get me wrong being with Jake has made me so strong but I always had this nagging feeling something else was missing, and it was Hardin. For a moment when we were all standing close together, I felt Whole, I felt like myself, I felt more power surging through me. The mate bond with both men was renewed and it strengthened again. It filled me so much more with hope and courage and determination that we will make it out of this together.

We all want the same thing, we all want to be free again and we all want to go home. For Aria, this is her home and she won't stop until she gets it back again, and I will do my best to help her, because now I know what it's like, to lose something and having your freedom stripped of it all. Even though, I promised to stay out of this fight in the future, I will listen to them and run, as long as they see me run then I have upheld my promise, after that, I am going to expose myself and kill Demetri myself for everything he is doing to everyone in this place, and I'll be doing it for the defenceless women and girls whos lives have been Corrupted. He doesn't deserve mercy.

For now, I'll continue training, getting stronger and faster in my defence and offence. That I too will be a ruthless Lethal weapon against anyone who poses threat against people I love and to protect the innocent.

I followed Aria and Jake in silence all the way back to our Mansion, by now I was hungry again. I was surprised that the one protecting Hardin happened to be my mom's long time friend Rebecca who they call Becky. My mom was excited to learn this new information, now she will be able to keep tabs on Hardin in secret.

I knew I shouldn't have kissed him like that at all, not when I already promised to be Jake's girlfriend and I know I'd have to have a talk with him when I get back. I just went on pure happiness and what I was feeling at that moment I didn't care what everyone thought I was just so relieved of finding him safe and sound. Celine, however doesn't feel bad for it at all she's happy to see mate.

As soon as we reached our room with Aria, Jake undid the magic he created to hide us both and I quickly grabbed a snack and some blood in the fridge, I did not want to call a human at this time. Aria went on explaining everything to my brother and I tugged on Jake's arm to follow me to the room we now shared. I put my snacks on the bed and climbed on the bed.

I watched Jake carefully as I said, "I'm sorry Jake."

He looked at me surprised, "Sorry for what?"

I looked away embarrassed, "That I kissed Hardin, I'm sorry, I was just happy to see him, well, relived more like."

He smiled and touched my cheek gently making me look up at him, "It's alright, I'm not mad that you did that. I'm actually relived myself now that he's not lost. I've seen you for days when you'd get too quiet, you'd look like your really far away. I know how much he and I both mean so much to you. I can't hate you for having feelings for him also. Even though I'd much rather have you to myself." He kissed me softly, sending those familiar sparks between us.

I took a deep breath of relief that he wasn't angry with me. I opened up a granola bar and my chocolate pudding and dipped my granola bar in and ate it. "mmm." I moaned as I ate it.

"Your weird." Jake said gesturing to my snack.

"I know I am." I tease and he sits down and draws with his sketch book on the table while I wolf down my snacks and blood. Jake is still a mystery to me, I still have no clue what he draws in that thing everyday. I wonder if her draws me? If he does I wonder what I look like to him from his own creative mind. I wish he'd show me one of his drawing one of these days.

"Well, I'm going to have a shower now." I say as I throw my wrappers in the trash and grab a large t-shirt in my closet and a towel, I head to the washroom.

"Can I join you?" Jake asked.

I hesitated by the doorway again, he always asks me that everytime I go, and I always tell him no, but right now, I want to try it out. I never showered with a guy before, I only had baths with Hardin though. This would be something new for me, "Sure, hurry up." I say before I lost my nerve.

He drops his pencil on the floor, and follows me to the shower. I already had the water turned on, I pulled over my shirt and took of my shorts, then I undid my underwear and I went in the shower without looking back to Jake, I can feel his eyes staring at me. I let the hot water run down my body and I slowly turned with my eyes closed, I slowly open them to find Jake fully naked in front of me. His black hair falling just over his dark colored eyes, he have me a shy smile that I found so cute. I looked down at him and immediately went even wetter down there, my juices mixed with water going down my legs dripping. He was huge and already hard for me. A low growl escapes his lips and before I knew it, I was in his arms kissing eachother everywhere, he lifted me up in one swift movement and my legs were wrapped around him. I trailed kisses down to his marking spot and it sent shivers through him, he did the same and kissed and sucked my marking spot which made me go crazy for him and I moaned involuntary into his ear which made him growl into my mouth as he kissed me, deepening our kiss, we didn't come up for air for a long time. Our hands started exploring each others bodies. He let my legs go back onto the floor as he reached between my legs and started playing with my sensitive spot making me moan loudly in his ear, I clutched onto his his hair as he lifted me up again and my legs wrapped around his waist, I felt his hardness brush against my cl*t which caused my whole body to tremble with need. I wanted him, I needed him, my body Craved him. He played with me while rubbing his hard c**k on my cl*t holding me in place, I began to feel my body spasm against him, I began to tremble and moan until I yelled out, "Jake I need you, I want you in me." He just ignored me and continued playing with me until I couldn't take it anymore and I finished all over his hand and the tip of his c**k. After I came down from my high, I pushed away from him and said, "What was that?"

He looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I told you I wanted you and you made me finish without it going in?" I began washing myself vigorously.

"That was the mate bond crave that got you wanting me, that wasn't really you, Davina." He said. "I won't force you into s*x or make you just because it's the mate bond." He told me as he washed himself too.

After I washed myself, I got out of the shower, dried off, threw my t-shirt on, stormed out of the bathroom, climbed into bed. I was angry, mostly for being rejected by him twice this week.

I cooled down then, I realized that he was right, it was this stupid crave for us to mark eachother.

He walked out with a towel around us waist. "I'm sorry for getting mad."

"It's okay, we'll figure it out, for now let's get to bed, Tomorrow is another day."
