Hybrids

Chapter 12

Caedmon's POV

I'm uneasy about leaving Nyx in the hospital wing. Even with her being with Mila, I want to be present. I want to hold her and never let her go. Fenrir was also running circles in my head. He wanted to stay besides her, besides our mate. But he also had questions, just like I did. He didn't sense a wolf from her, but she's definitely not human either, so, what is she?

A few minutes had passed and Willow links me. We need to talk. Of course, that just adds to how I feel. Jairus was working on Nyx along with a nurse and Willow came to the office.

How are you holding up? Asked Willow

What do you think? She's my mate and I can't be besides her because she will either try to fight or run like she did before. I don't want her to wake up and... Choose violence? Willow cuts me off and gives me a smirk. I asked her what she needed to talk about.

Well... it's about Nyx. My jaw clenches thinking something is wrong, but I haven't felt anything, so I try to keep calm as my hands are in fists already, so I open and close them slowly as I calm down.

Mila told us some important information regarding Nyx. Jairus had only started working on Nyx when Mila stopped us. Guess what she said? She stops talking after the question and I am left awaiting for the answer.

What? Just spill it out already! As much as I love Willow and how she treats me, she can also take delight in teasing me or leaving me waiting longer than I want to. She has a knack for getting on my nerves. I guess it's part of the sibling code book.

Fine! Geez, it's not like she's dying.

Not funny Willow...

Alright, going back to a serious tone. She's not human, but she's also not a wolf. She's a hybrid, I'm not one hundred percent sure of what, but, what I do know is that she is in some part a vampire. Mila requested blood for her and Jairus started her already with it. She also gave her a sedative to calm her down since her breathing and heart rate were still high.

A hybrid! Is that why we couldn't feel her wolf Fenrir? She's no wolf at all?

Whether she is or ins't is no concern. She is our mate. Made for us specifically, and we will love and protect her. Said Fenrir. He couldn't have said it better. We own this town. It's a place where we see a lot of different races; humans, vampires, sirens, witches, and even rogues on occasion. So long as they come for trade or work, and do not pose a threat, we let them pass.

It didn't matter what Nyx was, not to us. We would be there for her.

I looked at Willow and she already knew.

Alright hot stuff. But, we have to figure out what she is and if they are in fact in any sort of danger. Mila said that she is in fact a wolf, and they're not biological sisters, so how did they come to be? Plus, you've gotta figure out how you will approach her.

Willow is right. There are a lot of details missing that we will definitely need to discuss.

After she leaves, I rock back on my chair and I let out a heavy sigh. The number on the back of her ear, plus the piece missing on it. The bumps I felt in her head, and how Mila was responding. This whole thing feels quite dark and I can't help to feel uneasy and angry. Fenrir feels it too. Seeing the current state of our mate infuriated us. Yet, as I thought of all of that, I couldn't help but to think about her face. She was beautiful, and I look forward to gazing into her eyes. Will she feel as I do, feel the bond?

It's late already. I've been told by Luke that she is still sleeping and Mila recently fell asleep. I go to the small bar I have in my office and serve myself some whiskey. Even though the alcohol won't really do anything for me, it does give me some ease. I make my way to the shower and just let the hot water run down my back. The bathroom is full of steam. I dry my hair and just wrap a towel around my waist. I walk out and look through the large window on the room. Opening it, I sit on a chair on the balcony. The cool air is refreshing. As I'm trying to relax in the room, I hear a knock on the door. Grabbing a t-shirt and sweatpants, I open the door to see Mishka.

How are you doing? I heard that we got some new people in today. She said with her eyes wide open. Her voice lacked genuine concern.

Is that any of your concern? As far as I know, the alpha, his betas, and gamma are the ones that truly need to know about pack business unless it involves something of actual concern to the pack. Don't you agree?

Well, call me curious. Said Mishka in a higher pitch to her usual voice.

Go back to your business and let me rest. I've had a long day as it is and don't need more interruptions. As quick as those words left my mouth, I shut the door and threw myself in the bed.

Morning comes to me and I'm still in the same place and in the same dreaded mood. Just like Fenrir, we are concerned, anxious, excited to finally get to talk to her. We kept picturing it in our heads. That thought was interrupted when Luke links me in a rush. He tells me that Nyx destroyed a window with her hand and jumped out with Mila. She broke the window? With her fist?

No, she just touched it. Said Luke as I could hear him running out to catch her. How did we get from her resting to her fleeing again in a single night! Zach also mind-links me to tell me to get ready and go to the office. I trust him with my life and I knew that he would have a plan. A few minutes pass and he informs me that they're talking to her and Mila is taking their side. Nyx could probably be feeling cornered right about now. Why was it so hard for her to understand that we didn't want to hurt them? Keeping the connection open, Luke tells me that they're coming back and bringing them to the office.

Shit!
