Davina the Hybrid

Chapter 20 Home.

Jakes P.O.V

She's going to hate us, we must find mate! She needs us! Ryder argued with me for the 4th time that night as I headed to a different direction the limo and Davina went. I was going to make my escape and boy was it going to be a good one, I know I have eyes on me. So I had to keep going with what I had planned. I wasn't able to take Davina with me no matter how much I wanted to bring her, in the end I hope she knows I am doing this all for her and her safety and freedom.

We needed help, and the only way I knew how to get help was to get out. I needed to go to my father. I was surprised when we reached the city to know that this was where I grew up my entire life, this city was my home and I knew it like the back of my hand. I am so happy that the Hidden Palace was close to my old home. At the same time, I knew what I was doing, was going to make Davina, lose faith in me once again. I'll do whatever it takes to make her feel safe again even if it risks our relationship. Mate bond or no mate bond, I'd do my best to make her happy. If I have to hurt her to do it, then so be it.

I sped walk onto a bridge with hardly any traffic on it, and I've been walking for hours now and my guess is, it must be about 3 am by now hopefully Davina will be sleeping or still following our suspect. It started raining, which I was grateful for as I'd be able to make a clean escape.

I sigh, oh Davina, I am so sorry I misused your trust in me again, I promise that I'll make it up to you. My heart ached go her so deeply that I even hated myself for leaving her, especially when I tried so hard to win her over and I finally had her, she was officially my girlfriend but in only in secret. I wanted us to be able to be free to express and show our love anywhere without fear of getting caught by our enemy and then punished for it. This is worth it, I am doing this all for her, I keep telling myself but deep down, I feel like I've made a mistake in not letting her in on the plan.

Then, in a flash a vampire was on me when I got half way on the bridge that had water flowing rapidly underneath it probably about 200 feet down. He smiled menacingly showcasing his fangs as his eyes turned red. Then, another vampire appeared behind me, I did not move to look at the other one behind me, I glared at the vampire I know who Demetri probably sent to capture me or destroy me. I waited for them to make their move, I was ready for it.

A low growl escapes my lips as I extended my claws, Then, he lunged for me as I dodges I grabbed his shoulder and smashed him into the other guy behind me as I roared, my wolf Ryder wanting to come out but I pushed him back just as quickly. The 2 Vampires hissed at me once they composed themselves and crouched in attack stances. Then I knew they were ordered to take me out.

The both grabbed both of my arms, attempting to rip them off but I fought against them for as long as I could, since I have trained as an assassin, I had to make a difficult for them first. I fought on and I did, more came at me, maybe 6 or them now but they were no match for me, I hit at the right times, I flipped through the air kicking them in the heads, I even killed 3 of them then more came, now I was fighting against over 10 of them. Then like that one of them tackled me as my body went flying towards a pole on the bridge, I hit with a hard cracking noise, then fell 200 feet into the water as they all rushed to the edge to watch me fall.

I grabbed my ribs, because they cracked as I hit the pole, I yelled all the way down. My body hit the water hard almost knocking me unconscious as it sank in deep. When I was in deep I pushed myself to swim even deeper, holding my breath as I went. Then when I knew I was far enough away from the surface so they wouldn't see the glow, I closed my eyes clutching my chest and pictured my dad's bedroom and immediately transported myself there and of course I glowed the color of the moon as I disappeared from the water.

I had to fake my death in order to escape, I chose the nastiest fast rapid water in the city to go under. No one an survive the fall, not even a supernatural even when wounded. I know if I didn't have my magic to save me I would have died for sure because it's hard work as it is, to fight the rapids and currents as they repeatedly pull you under making it very difficult to swim and keep to the surface.

When I appeared in my father's room, coughing from choking on water, some of water splashed onto my dad's floor and I knelt down on the floor coughing trying to catch my breath. My father's loud startled yell would have made me laugh if I wasn't choking on the water that came through my wind pipe. I was drenched and freezing, the water was ice cold.

The lights came on and he says, "Son? What happened?"

I took in a few shaky breaths, "Dad...Just give me a minute." I put my hand up as I took more deep breathes before standing up. I began shivering.

"Wait, here put these on and talk." He runs over to his closet and pulls out grey gym pants and grey t-shirt. Good thing me and my dad were the same size, he used to get mad at me for stealing his suits to go to his meetings without him.

I grab the clothes and talk as I strip down naked and talk to him while he sits back on the bed. I explained everything that happened to me after I left home and meeting my mate, when I told him about her, he smiled, but then frowned more when I told him about Demetri and his Palace that had kept me captive this entire 2 months. I told him what I did to escape and he says, "Why I have left her? You should have brought her."

"Dad, I couldn't, she has others there that she cares about." I say and then go on telling him about Davina having also 2 mates and the reasons I couldn't take her, being that she would never leave Hardin behind or her newfound mom and twin brother.

"Yeah but as your mate, her needs should come first and her protection, how are you protecting her by, never mind, you need my help is that it?" He says as he scratches his chin.

"Yes, dad I need your help. Do you know about Demetri doing this stuff." I asked as I sat beside him on his bed with a towel around my shoulders.

"I have heard of the black marketing going on but they have been in hiding for many years. We have been trying to find them and shut them down for good, they've been causing too much of the humans asking questions about supernatural creatures, more and more have been starting to suspect. What he's doing is putting the species at risk and selling human women and our own supernatural women is Disgusting, We have to do something about this guy."

I nodded, "I agree, but also there's inside help, Aria Sawyer is my mates mom, she's set on destroying Demetri herself and has been in planning for years, gaining allies around the world and near by packs covens, but she has been doing it slowly, because she doesn't know who else out there that is on his side. She waited most of her allies out before trusting them completely. She's been in the working of this battle for years, we also have to be careful of who we trust."

"Alright, I'll see what I can do. Which requires me to reach out to my father." He said.

"Wait, your dad? I thought you said he died in a battle years ago." I asked him confused. The only thing I knew of them was that they'd passed away when I was 2 after my grandfather gave the pack to my father. He barely shared stories of them as I thought it was too painful to bear.

"Nope, he's very much alive, so is your grandmother, they didn't want anyone to know they were alive to live a carefree life on their island, son there's something I haven't told you about our family history, I've been keeping it hidden from you as to turn you into a good man, not a proud one with greed."

I scoffed, "With greed and yet you wanted me to marry the richest witch in the city." I rolled my eyes.

"I only wanted you to have more allies, she has a fortress outside the city with more protection, if anything it was for your own good not for greed." He says, "But, you have found your mate which means more to me than building you an empire which you already have." He smirked.

"Dad, about our history, please continue I don't even care about her anymore nor do I want to keep talking about her family." I told him cooly annoyed.

He chuckled, "Alright. First off do not freak out when I tell you of where we come from." He eyed me.

"Why would I freak out?" I asked.

But ignored my question and he continued, "Your great grandfather is a Vampire son, Whom was mated with a werewolf, then they gave birth to the first Hybrid who had two mates, a werewolf and a vampire mate, no one knows what became of the vampire mate but he had two children a male and female werewolf children with his werewolf mate, the children did not get the hybrid gene from their father, which is your grandfather my father."

"What!?" I yelled. "So your saying, My grandfather is a Hybrid like me?"

"No, that would be your great grandfather, your Grandfather my father, did not get the vampire gene from his parents as his dad was hybrid and his mother was a Werewolf, which made me just a Werewolf and because of our genes, you were able to be both a witch and Werewolf, you are a first of that type of Hybrid and dry powerful. "

"What are their names." I whispered, in shock.

"Your great grandfather Hybrid his name is Timothy Craven Who came from the First Vampires only son Michelangelo, Michael was mated to the first Werewolf's daughter Seraya. They were destined mates and only had one child who was Timothy, Then Timothy had 2 mates like I said, A vampire woman named Katherine, and a Werewolf women named Mariana. With Mariana Timothy had twin Werewolf pups, whom he named Richard and Sarah.

Richard is my dad and only had me, I have no other siblings, then I was mated to your mother a witch then we had you and now she wanted to travel the World as you know she goes on business trips. She'll be back in a couple days, and now you have found your mate."

"Dad, there's something I have to tell you about my mate." I hesitated for a moment, but then thought, he has to know, because our lives were in danger and he's my dad he's always been on my side my entire life, Besides Davina got to tell her own birth mother and brother and father and best friend, so I don't see the harm in telling my dad, if anything he'd only protected me my entire life.

"What is it son?" he asked as he handed me a coffee hi must have mind link some guard on duty to make for us.

"My mate Davina, she's a hybrid, both equal species of Vampire and Werewolf. Her other mate, Hardin is just a vampire." I told him honestly, holding my breath as I didn't know what he was going to say.

His eyes bulges and then he whistles, "That Demetri guy had 2 Hybrids under his roof these whole 2 months?! Have you any idea what damage you 2 could have caused him if you attacked from inside?"

I frowned at him, "Well no dad, I have no idea, We are all new to the hybrid thing, well only Davina is anyway, she only just found out 2 months ago before we were all taken." I said.

"So they were newly turned, ok who turned your mate? Was she born a werewolf?" he asked.

"She was born a werewolf but her heritage was also kept secret, her father Alrik hid her from his mate, and I don't know it's all a big mess to even talk about, Davina was hurt by all of it. Her dad is an i***t if you ask me." I rolled my eyes, "From what she told me, She was sleeping in the room with me when she was taken out of her bedroom window at nighttime by Hardin, He turned her into a Vampire right then and there trying to claim her already." I growled, "Of course I was asleep at the foot of her bed when all this was happening but I hadn't even noticed, I should've noticed. Anyway, After that the night before her birthday hit at midnight, she began to change, which made her finally call me in to help her through the change, and I saw her true form and power that night. Hardin though is a vampire but I have no idea who turned him, all I know is that he was captured before and turned by his captive and then put straight to work and was forced to work for a year for his freedom. That's all Davina ever told me, other than that I never liked talking about the guy." I shrugged.

My dad began pacing, "I would love to meet your mate someday son, she sounds Exquisite. In order to do that we'd definitely have to break them out of their predicament. For us to accomplish this, I'd need a few days to come up with a plan, we will have to attack this palace in a few days. Just try your best to remain here in the House, you are not allowed to leave this place until we are ready for battle strategies. I will need to to draw me a map of the location and draw me a layout of the entire palace and area. I need to know exists, entrances, hideouts if there's any, maybe you can mind link your mate and ask her to et on board, she can be out eyes on the inside and help ma this out better."

"That's the thing, I can't dad, we hadn't completed the mate bond." I said guiltily looking away.

"You what?!" He roared,

"You heard me." I say.

"Why haven't you finish the marking and mating?" he asked me a little loudly.

"Because she wants to wait, shes a virgin dad." I say.

"Oh well, I see, but you and 2 months with her did you not?" he asked.

"Well, she wanted to get to know me first dad, kinda sorta messed up her trust, even more now than ever." I told him honestly.

My dad growled again, "What did you do?!"

Wait, he's getting angry at me for hurting my own mate? This is new, "I lied to her about me being a werewolf and her mate the first time I met her, I didn't want to scare her, but I ruined it because I told her I couldn't lie to her which I ended up doing." My dad glared at me and his jaw clenched. I raised an eyebrow, "Why you so angry about all this dad you haven't even met her yet."

"Well, she's my son's destined mate, and she's my future daughter which also makes her my family already, without her you wouldn't survive. Plus she'll give me grandbabies to cherish someday." He chuckled, "If my son can take better care of his mate." he smirked at the last part.

"Dad that's why I am here, to better her future, to get her out of there." I told him and rolled my eyes as he only just smiled.

"Go get some sleep, I'll send for your mother, I cannot do this planning without her help, Draw me those pictures as soon as you wake son. See you sometime tomorrow." He pushed me out of his bedroom door as I chuckled.

A few guards bowed to me and I nodded at them in greeting, I walked straight to my room and stripped off all the clothes I was wearing and climbed into bed and covered up. My dad is angry at me for not marking her but at the same time he wants to protect her and get her out just as much as I do now. I knew going to him will help, as he's always been about family. For years he's been bugging me to get out there more to find a mate or either take The witch as my chosen mate, all because he was impatient to have Grandchildren he always wanted more children with my mother but she refused and said giving birth once was good enough for her and that he'd have to wait until I had a mate so I am give them both grandchildren. I shook my head well they'll have to wait long, I don't think Davina is even ready to become a mother any time soon. I smiled at the thought of seeing Davina being a mother, that would be a beautiful sight to see one for these days, I really hope she will forgive me. I fell asleep having a dreamless sleep.

The next day I woke up feeling lost while I stared at the ceiling above me, wondering where I was, then I felt the bed beside me confused that I thought Davina was sleeping beside me. Davina.. Then like that all my memory of lastnight came crashing into my head like a tidal wave and I groaned.

I get up from my old room and went straight into a shower down the hall, I washed myself up quickly and got out and went back to my room to dress up, I put on black jeans and white T-shirt and walked out without my socks or shoes. I was making coffee in the kitchen when my dad walked in all dressed and ready for the day wearing a deep navy suit.

"Make me a to go cup son." He says as he fixed his black tie in the mirror on the wall. I swear my father has a mirror placed in every room of this house, he's so obsessed with his looks. When I think of it, my dad is a very handsome man indeed, and very conceded. He's tall with broad shoulders with black hair and green eyes, he has small dimple on the left side of his cheek, clean shaven straight strong nose, well defined chiseled chin. I got most of my features from him but my darker colored eyes I got from my mom, so dark brown that I cannot see the irises in them.

I quickly make the to go cup and hand it to him, "Where you off to?" I ask.

"To go and speak to my father about this situation, for that I have to travel to Spain then, I have to probably find Timothy and speak to him, as there are certain rules placed amongst our kind about the humans, if anyone knows more about rules against the s*x trafficking going on it'll be him. Your grandparents have a lot of friends that can help us, plus he has about 4 assassin's that can get more information out of that wretched so called Palace. I'll be back in 4 days time. Have those drawing done and send the pictures to me on my phone, and do not leave the house under any circumstances. Do not teleport anywhere at all. You wait for me to arrive. Do not even answer the door, I set my guard there to not let anyone in my home and act as if you are not here at all. If you absolutely need anything send out Miles, try not to send him out too much because you never know if you have eyes on you still. Waken your wolf and run in the basement it's where I go for runs in private."

"I'm sure it won't be as good as the forest and as big." I told him while I made my coffee.

"You'll see. Alright see you in 4 days, love you son." He says and walks out with his coffee cup.

I made a quick breakfast sandwich and headed to the livingroom to watch tv. I watched the screen, without even actually watching it. Alright this is what I wanted I should be happy, I got to come home and be free, we'll sort of, I'm stuck in my dad's house. I've got my dad on board with everything I wanted him to do, my plan worked out perfectly. We needed numbers, we needed to work out a plan to help Aria win this thing and finally be free. I know how fast my dad works at these things and I can't wait for him to get home so we can complete everything so we can get started. The sooner we get started the better.

After sitting down watching tv, I went into my room and pulled out my drawing pad and began drawing the training grounds and Derek's Warrior/Soldier Mansion, Then drew Demetri's Mansion and the rest of the small town like areas. I drew everything that I can think of, of the entire layout. I was able to sneak off training to explore the grounds a little more this place was huge, with more houses further into the forest, spread apart where all the guards slept. The witches in the area that protect it, they have their own grounds too, they lived on the outskirts of the Palace area and town area, they keep these magical placements to keep the place hidden from enemies, humans, and all trespassers. Causing and illusion of some sort of danger that makes them look or run away from the area before they get to close. I drew it all out as best as I can remember for my dad. I quickly sent him the pictures through email onto his phone. Then I started drawing the road we took from the Palace on how to get here. It was pretty easy as this place was a couple hours north from here. When I was done drawing it out, I also ran to my dad's room to grab one of his maps and drew the roads on the way here. Then I took pictures and sent them to him. There, my deed all done for my dad to better come up with a plan.

After that I just moped around the big Victorian house and finally made my way to the basement which was surprisingly huge and very forest like. I can't believe my dad had enough time on his hands to turn his basement into a running space big enough for our wolves to run in, it was mind blowing, really looked like I was outside.

"The fake plants in here look so real." I commented to myself.

"They are real." A voice says from behind me. I turned around quickly as my heart hammered in my chest and relief flooded me just as quickly, "Miles, you f***ken scared me s**t!" I swore.

He laughed and said, "My apologies I thought you saw me standing guard. But yeah, all the plants and trees are real, even the ground your standing on, the house was built on-top this little bit of forest life, and he blocked off most it for privacy and for animals not to venture here. We makes us come down here with UV light for some of the trees and we water them daily, I just finished watering a few. Your free to run in this huge area it's about four football fields wide all around."

"Alright, just turn around." I tell him and strip down and began to shift which for the first time actually hurt. I yell out in pain as my bones cracked and readjusted all through my body. Then, I ran which made Ryder extremely happy. We grew weak from being in human form too long, and not shifting for 2 months. I hope that Davina and Celine can find the time to shift so they won't be as weak.

Ryder was right, she would have to shift, not letting your wolf out puts a strain on your body and weakens you if you shift again after not doing so for months at a time. I really gotta try get her out of that palace as soon as my father is ready.

The fact that I come from a very powerful bloodline and my very own Great grandfather was the very first Hybrid and he's still alive. I wish I can meet him, I have so many questions for him, me being a hybrid myself, and maybe he can tell me about this mate bond stuff on how to make it work.

As I was running, my wolf began to whimper, he stopped and tuck his tail between his legs and lowered his body to the ground crying, he covered his head with his huge paws. What's going on Ryder? ,You'll feel it soon enough.

Then, this shocking feeling overwhelmed me, I felt violated, I felt all these confusing emotions wash over me, I felt joy, then hunger, then Pleasure, even though I was in wolf form laying on the cold dirt, I transformed back I to human form and that's when I felt it. Pain radiated through my chest and I yelled out clawing the ground with one hand while the other clutched at my chest. I began to sweat really hard. Mate, is finishing the mate bond with Hardin! My wolf whimpered in pain. No. She's with Hardin now, but how? I groaned on the ground closing my eyes tightly as pain went to my chest. Then, I felt pain go to my neck, I grabbed my neck with wide eyes, panicked I yelled out, "Nooooo!!!! Davina!!! Stop!!!!"

Just like that everything stopped all at once as if she can here me. I began panting on the ground sweat dripping from my body as Miles came running over to me, I can see his lips moving and a worried look on his face right before I blacked out. Mate Almost got marked without us.... Was the last Whimper I heard from my wolf Ryder when everything finally went black.
