Her Hybrid Alpha (book 2)

Chapter 10 Darius POV

When we arrived in the meadow, the girls came to visit the witches in. Down near the tree line stood an elderly lady. She waved her hand at us to come to her. Tiron and Fero had fetched us here. They had a big old book with pieces tattered and missing off of the cover with them. The girls had said the witches had a problem, and they needed to be there. So here we were, the kingdom was safe now, we could be here with our mates and help them.

We all walk over to the little old lady and when we get close she's studying us, her eyes skipping from one to the other. " We have never let outsiders into the village, be prepared to be given a wide birth or studied like an exhibit. Our royals never really had outsider mates, or they just never brought them. This, this is the dawn of a new era " she says while smiling. Dante hands out his hand to her.

" Dante, King of the Vampires, I assure you we are no danger here ". She puts her small withered hand in his. " I know who you all are, we all do. You are the exception to your kind, but we see you making differences. That's why the people have allowed you entry. Plus you or most of you are royalty mates, so the people had no choice. Not really what the royalties say goes and you're all so handsome ". Dante almost chokes out a laugh. He releases her hand, she removes her hand from his and starts walking, indicating us to follow.

Once we step into the tree line, she raises a hand, there seems to be sparks coming from her hand and then an entrance way appears. It looks like a dark vortex of some sort. She steps through and disappears. Dante shrugs and follows, " The witches have it like Fort Knox up in here " Cole says before disappearing. One by one, we all followed her. On the other hand, their village is rustic. The old lady was right, everyone had stopped what they were doing to stop and look.

" Should I start making monkey noises or something? " I said, and the elderly lady glanced at me in amusement. " I did warn you, Darius, come on, I'll take you to your mates. I've just come from getting them settled into the Royalties house ". She shuffles off, and we are all left to follow. I wasn't looking forward to hearing what issues the girls now had, the quiet life kept seeming to drift further and further away.

We round a corner to see a massive mansion-looking house, not really a mansion, but not a normal-sized house. Maybe like a big ranch house with white shutters on the windows and a porch that wraps around the house. That's where the girls were currently, laughing and joking with each other and some of the witches. Anya looks up and spots me. Her face goes from happy and joking to serious. She bites her lip as her eyes rake my body. Wasn't it supposed to be me, who was like a dog in heat at the moment? I feel my body starting to heat up and my d**k definitely likes where this is heading.

"Do you think you two could hold off until we at least find out what's happening here ?" Dante laughs at me. I snapped my eyes at him, not realizing we had been caught eye f*cking one another. " No promises" I said as I passed him and headed over to my mate. He was one to talk him and Sophie were at it all the time and in the worst times too.

Climbing the steps, all the girls have now turned to us. " What's happening here ?" Dante asks as he wraps his arms around Sophie's waist and kisses her head. " Let's go inside, and we will explain what we know so far " Anya replies. She stands in front of me with a sinister smile on her face. Her muddy brown eyes are glassy. " Yea, let's get this done " I say mindlessly. My brain was already in my pants. We definitely needed to do this quickly or maybe me and Anya could scoot off and do that quickly. Anya laughs, grabs my hand and spins on her heel, pulling me inside the house.

She pulls me into a room that has a huge dining table which seats roughly around fifteen maybe. I got the gist and took a seat, and so do all the others. " So the witches called us here, because their powers are weakening. They channel their power from the earth, which as we can gather, is charged by the ancestors. Della, the witch that was gifted and chosen to speak to the ancestors, has been cut off. They've shut their doors, and she doesn't know why. But them retreating leaves the witches here vulnerable. They can't access the flow of power because it's not there", Lisa says.

" Our people want us here, they need our help to try and figure this out. They did tell Della someone was trying to tap into their magic. If they do that, the dead don't weaken " Anya says.

" So can we be based here for a while? We can still do both things help Darius and the Hybrids as well as help the witches", Sophie asks. Dante looks at me, this is getting messy. He knows this affects me more than him. He can keep nipping back to his kingdom if needed.

Sighing, I stood up and went near the window, the room silent. They're probably waiting for me to flip again. " Connected " Vax growls in my mind. He shocks me to begin with. I thought him being there would be a constant. But today he has been silently drifting in the back. I wonder if that's what he will always do. " What is ? "I asked him.

He huffs" All of this is connected or has a connection ". I scowl as I stare out the window. " How do you know ?".

" I don't believe in coincidence, my instincts tell me it is ". I rolled my eyes. We can't take the word of his gut. " Darius " Anya says behind me. I turned around, remembering people were waiting for me to talk. " Sorry Vax was talking," I tapped my head.

" Look, we knew our responsibilities were split. When the girls became royalties. We knew they had an obligation to the witches, as Dante did to the vampires. Now me to help save the hybrids, we will be wherever our responsibility takes us to. Vax thinks it could be connected, something about a gut feeling " I tell them.

" He may not be wrong " Tiron says. Fero lays the book in his hands down on the table, opening it up. " This is the book we learned about the legend warlocks from. We forgot part of the myth, " Fero says, pointing at the book.

" It says that the warlocks disappeared because Loki left them powerless when he went up there, basically what the witch ancestors have done shut the door on their power. It makes sense. He made them, he would be their power source. Everyone has a power source or a maker or something they channel from. The wolves, the moon goddess, vampires don't really need one. They don't magically transform from one being to the next. They're constantly made that way, witches the ancestors. Us the fates do you get where we are going ? " Tiron says, looking at us all.

Anya stands up and starts pacing the room. " So you think these warlocks are looking for a new power source? If they are, what are they doing with the Hybrids ? ".

Sh*t it drops , all of it clicks in place. " The Hybrids are Loki and the moon goddess's creation. They are trying to get their link to Loki back, or they are trying to get to the moon Goddess", I rushed out.

" They're trying every avenue they can find, if it is them that's helping Bride. If it is them trying to access the witch's power. We need facts and proof. These are all good theories, but they are that we have no proof yet. Therefore we can't throw all our eggs into that basket, we could be distracted in one direction and miss the other," Dante says.

He's always the leader, he's the thinker. He looks around the room and lands his eyes on me. " The only ways we can prove this is , speak to the ancestors or find out through Bridie somehow".

Either way, it will be a hard task. The room turns somber again. " Get Della here, let's find out if there is some sort of way we can get to the ancestors. If we turned back up in hybrid pack land we were in for a fight. We still need to find a way to get Cage and Mathew back or at least turn them back and get them scoping out the place while bridie thinks they are still under. Whatever it was she did to them " Anya sighs.

Like Dante, she was a leader too. Would I ever compare to these two and be a good Alpha to the Hybrids?

" We think we figured out a way to do just that," Fero says. They had been working with the girls. The plan was to send them to the cells. But things had got in the way. They hadn't figured out how to break the hold Bridie had. " We can't have both, we need them here to try and snap them out of it using a blocking spell. If we could block, say, this house from any sort of magic the moment they stepped in the door, it would hopefully block the hold. But if they step out, it could possibly take back effect. But obviously, Bridie would notice them gone" Tiron explains.

" Just get our guys back, we will find another way to get information from the pack "I state, I walked out of the room needing some air. I felt my agitation rising again, having Vax in me heightened all my emotions. It was going to take a while to learn how to control them.
