The Tribrid and Her Alpha

Chapter Ten-Jordan P.O.V:

We grew up together, our parents are friends, and have been since they were kids. Her mom (Aunt Zayla) grew up here and her dad (Uncle John) moved here after he turned eighteen and found her. We used to be close, with her parents being the head elite warriors. My mom used to ask why I didn’t hang out with her anymore, but I could never answer her. Zirrya looks like a soft, sweet, girly girl with her small stature and soft features, but she can get violent, very violent, very quickly. She is known inside and outside the kingdom as “the invisible assassin”; she's fast and deadly. No one in the kingdom or pack knows that it’s her, besides her family, my family. The kingdom council knows too, because they send her on missions. The powers she’s already manifested are very strong and useful to them. The only ones who can beat her when sparring are our parents. I can sometimes draw with her, but it’s not without some serious injury.

As that sinks in, I also realize she never submits to me, only my parents. I'm stuck in a trance at the bottom of the stairs, when I hear my Beta, Tyrone Baker, snapping his fingers in my face and calling my name. “Yo Jay, what’s up with you this morning?” he asked, confused as I finally blinked and look at him. “Nothing, I was distracted by what Zee was saying, I’ll explain on the way to school. Lance, Parker and I are about to be eighteen next month and I have a feeling more than just us taking over the pack will be happening, and I think the rest of the guys should hear what he said because I know it will affect all of us,” I told him seriously as he looked at me with raised eyebrows. I can already tell he’s going over the million possibilities in his head as we walk to meet up with the rest of the guys and grab some breakfast burritos. That’s why he’s going to be my beta, and a great one at that. It’s just the four of us, we’ve been friends since we were pups.

We are the heirs to the pack. There’s me, the Alpha heir, then there’s Tyrone Baker, also known as Ty, the Beta heir. He’s a fairy werewolf six feet tall with well-defined muscles everywhere, light blue eyes, untamed black hair and smooth brown skin. Next there’s Lance Summers. He’s a sirenwere and the Gamma heir, blonde hair, teal eyes, slim-toned body with defined muscles. He’s six-foot-four. There’s Peter Jacobs, who also goes by PJ. He’s the Delta heir and a warlock werebear. He’s six foot-three with light golden yellow skin, brown eyes, bulky muscles, and short curly brown hair. He’s the quiet and observant type, always watching and putting pieces together that others don’t pay attention to. Lastly, there’s my Enforcer Warrior heir, Parker Martin. He’s a warlock werewolf at six feet even with bright green eyes, golden brown skin, low-cut shiny black waves, well-defined muscles, slightly arrogant attitude and a serious face. My other Enforcer Warrior heir is Kayden Williams. He’s a vampwere like me but from another pack. He came here to train and look for his mate. He was at his home park for his birthday to see if she was there and got back two days ago. He didn’t say anything about a mate when we were at the game. When he told me and the guys he was coming back, so we'll see how that goes. He’s six-foot-five as he’s alpha blooded as well. He’s the second son of the Alpha of the Opal NewMoon pack in Barbados. He’s got dark creamy brown skin, honey eyes, buff muscles everywhere, low-cut black hair with a red patch on his hairline. Normally, two Alphas don’t work together in the same space permanently, but Kayden and I get along like brothers, just like the rest of the guys do. Kayden is a hell of a warrior too, hence him being one of my enforcer warriors when I become Alpha.

Kayden, PJ and Ty are already eighteen, so we’ll see who their mates are when the time comes. I have to find a way to get close to Ziri, see if there are signs that prove we really are mates. I'm going to ask the guys for help, but I doubt they’ll be of any help really when I tell them who my mate might be. She’s kicked all our asses in and out of training as we’ve grown up, and she’s kinda scary. “She’s in your vamp-were power skills class you can start there,” Zee says to me, making me pause before I kiss my mom on the cheek. Damn, do I not pay attention to anything? “Good morning dear, are you alright? She asked, looking up at me from her chair at the table. “I’m fine ma, I was just talking to Zeus.” I told her with a smile. “Oh, is he talking about finding your mate?” She asked excitedly. “Yeah he is, but we’ll talk when I get home Ma, I have to go.” I tell her kissing her head and leave with the guys and I walk to my Tahoe. Kayden and Parker are neighbors on the warrior floor, so they ride together. We all play sports. I play basketball with Lance, Kayden and Ty, PJ and Parker play lacrosse, so packing all our stuff into one vehicle is a bit of a hassle plus guys stink after practice with enhanced senses it can be a bit much on the nose. I didn’t know I had a class with Ziri, but it was good. I'll sit next to her and try to talk to her… I don’t know how that will go, but we’ll see. I decided to tell the guys what Zee said. They know how I felt about finding my mate and my birthday coming up and Zirrya, so maybe they can help… a big maybe.

“Okay guys, Zee said something this morning and I need y'all help to figure out what to do,” I told them. “What did he say? It has to be serious for you to be frozen on the stairs the way you were this morning,” Ty chortled. “Good or Bad?” Lance asked. “Could be both,” I say with uncertainty. “Just spit it out already,” PJ groans, he hates beating around the bush. “He said Zirrya might be our mate,” I said rapidly. “Oh, s**t!” Ty gulps. “Zirrya?…as in Zirrya Williams?” Lance asked, chuckling. “The one and only,” I responded, swallowing hard. “Oh, s**t is right Ty, good luck dude,” Lance says, chuckling harder as Zeus laughs with him. “Ziri’s birthday is a week after mine,” I tell them, making him laugh harder and Ty joins in laughing with him. “I know Lisa and I are having our birthday party with her this year. We turn eighteen two days after her. It made sense. I'm going to be Gamma, Lisa, an elite warrior, and Ziri, a head elite warrior. It's a big deal,” Lance says, laughing harder, clutching his sides at my shocked expression because I didn’t know they were combining their parties this year. This whole time, PJ's been silent. “Why are you so quiet?” I asked him through the rearview mirror. “You know me, just going over observations. She’s in my advanced warrior defense class along with her friends Jarayia, Lisa, Katie, the terror twins and Chelsea,” he says, looking thoughtful. I see all their eyes darken when he mentions the girl’s names and I know mine do as well. So all of our mates are in the same friend group. This will make things easier, and I'm excited for my friends and I. “Okay, so you got class with her and so do I. Zeus told me this morning that she’s in vampirewere power skills class,” I told them slightly. “I might be able to talk them into coming to the rec room to hang out with us, and we can figure out if our mates really are in that group,” PJ said, shrugging his shoulders. “How’d you know my mate might be in that group?” "You found your mate?” “Who in the group is your mate?” We all ask at the same time. He chuckles, “I’m the next delta for a reason. I saw how all your eyes darkened when I brought up the girls. My mate is your sister, Lance,” he says, looking straight at Lance, shrugging. “Oh hell no, if it’s true you hurt my sister, friend or not, YOU ARE DEAD! You understand me?” Lance says back, sternly, looking PJ dead in the eye. “You got my word, bro, I would never.” He says back sincerely. “Lance, who do you think is your mate?” Ty asked him. I already know the answer. I noticed who he'd been looking at this month. “Jarayia,” he says, kinda breathy as we pulled into my senior parking lot.

We see Zirrya, Lisa, Jaraiya, Tiffany and Taylor getting out of her car. Parker and Kayden came over and joined us as we got out, leaning on my car, as we watched them walk towards the school and stop to talk to some of the volleyball girls. We all freeze and stare at the group while they are all together. I remember we never asked Ty who his mate might be, but there are only four options left, and I see who he’s staring at. “Yo Ty, who is your mate?” I ask as I continue looking at Zirrya and she’s looking gorgeous as always. “Chelsea is my mate. She plays basketball and volleyball with them and sometimes trains with Ziri and their dads. She’s a deadly warrior just like the rest of them,” He says, fangirling over his mate. “Kayden, did you find your mate when you went home?” PJ asks him. “Nope, Raijin, and I think she’s here.” Kayden responds. Raijin is Kayden’s wolf.
