The Hybrid's Revenge: Choose Between Her Mates

Flirting With Me

Still Ciara’s POV

I caught a familiar scent the moment he walked into the ballroom, looking drop-dead gorgeous. He smells of natural honey, that floral, fruity, scent that is so warm and comforting. I inhaled deeply, taking in that luxurious, rich scent that can take honey lovers straight to sweet heaven.

I was sitting at the far end of the room, away from prying eyes. Everyone in the hall stood up to acknowledge his presence, even king Dominic stood up as a sign of respect for the new lycan king. His eyes met mine for a brief second, and I fell into a trance, watching him waltz in like a human god.

He is tall, so f*****g tall, I could be mistaken for a dwarf if I’m standing by his side. His full, wavy hair which is as dark as the midnight sky is combed all back, giving him a dignified appearance that is both attractive and spellbinding. A smile is plastered on his face, and he has the sexiest smile on earth, a smile that even I could not resist. I found myself smiling unknowingly, he is just irresistibly cute.

He walks all the way to the podium and takes his place at the center of the podium. He turned to everyone and his face brightened with the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. The crowd was so excited by his presence, his smile, and positive energy is so contagious. The entire building erupted in cheers and applause. I swear, I totally lost control of my emotions, I nearly got lost in the moment. But I stopped myself before I joined in the clapping and cheers.

Jeez, what the hell is wrong with me?

I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and I sat down with everyone else, gazing at the podium as he took his oath, swearing and making promises that I’m sure he wouldn’t be able to keep. They believe in him, they love him, and trust him completely. They seem to have forgotten what his father did and how he tried to kill everyone for his own selfish reasons. After a few minutes, King Dominic and his Queen, Bethany, stepped up to the podium to place the crown on his head. That could have been done by the former king, his father. But since his father was not available, a sitting king has to do the honors and there is no king fit for this mission than the king of all wolves, Dominic Rayleigh.

I was feeling restless and got within me, I don’t know why I’m feeling this way, it seems so strange, and stupid. I has my plans set out before I came to this f*****g castle. The plan was to stalk him and take him unawares. When I catch him alone, I’ll end his miserable life and get the hell out of this castle. I’ll go back home, to the man after my heart and we’ll live happily ever after. That is exactly why I’m here, I have it all figured out. But why do I suddenly have a soft spot for this guy?

I feel drawn to him, like a certain electrical pull, or a bond, I just can’t say. His scent seems to be oozing out of him in torrents, choking me with his amazing scent. I can feel my face burning with a blush as I instinctively drew in a deep breath, taking in more of his scent. It seems so crazy, I just couldn’t help myself. I never thought I would ever meet a guy that would make me giddy like a schoolgirl, for f**k’s sake I’m not a swooner. But you see this guy, he is swooning me off my feet, and he’s not even aware of the effect he has on me, like, he’s not even trying.

Too bad he’s going to die today…

Or should I change my plans and let him live, should I give in to these weird feelings and try to get him to notice me and love me?

Nah…

That’s never going to happen, not anymore. I’m tempted though, I’m tempted to love him. But I can’t let them fool me again, I’ve been there once and I know what these creatures are capable of. I’ll be dammed if I let one of these guys hurt me again. Killing him will help him move on with my life. He is the last on my list, and as it stands now, my hatred for him is the only thing keeping me unhappy. Ending his life would ensure that I live the rest of my life happy and fulfilled.

“By the power vested on me by moon goddess, I Dominic Rayleigh, King of all werewolves, herby crown thee, Declan Remington Woods, King of all Lycans. Rise and dominate your subjects.” king Dominic let out in a thunderous voice and the new king stood up from his seat and howled to the full moon shining brightly outside. All the werewolves and lycans did the same, they all howled loudly, celebrating the dawn of the new lycan king.

I focused on the scene playing out on the podium, and I felt a deep pain in my heart, deeper than what I’d been feeling before I got here. They all look happy, and I’m here drowning in sadness. I wish I was standing on that podium as his Queen, I wish I was standing by his side right now. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and I watched him take the spotlight and address his people.

As he spoke to the people, I caught him gazing at the audience, his eyes moving from one row to the next. He seems to be searching for something or someone, I really can’t say. But when his eyes finally rested on me, my heart did a summersault and I had butterflies in my tummy dancing excitedly. My stomach did a flip when he smiled warmly at me, I can’t believe that he had noticed me. There are over a hundred pretty days in this ballroom, yet he took notice of me. Should I consider this as a good omen or terrible bad luck?

“Let us party and celebrate as a family, then when the moon is at its peak, we will go for a run in the woods and bond as a family.” He concluded his speech, earning a round of applause and more cheers from the crowd. The omega’s began moving to the big table with trays filled with delicious, mouth-watering meals. My family is sitting at the high table with the kings. But I’m back here, waiting to murder one of the kings.

How ironic!

Soon after, everyone was eating and chatting loudly. I had no one to talk to, I didn’t come here to eat and party with the enemies. I quietly picked on my meals, whilst keeping a close eye on king Declan. He isn’t eating or chatting away like the rest of them, he is looking this way, observing me from afar. Could it be possible that he is also feeling what I’m feeling?

Our eyes met a few times, causing me to blush. I nearly choked on my drink when he raised his glass in my direction. He was drawing attention to me and I just don’t like it. I think I’m leading him on, he must think that I’m attracted to him, and now he thinks he can flirt with me. I looked around to make sure no one is looking, then I gave him a middle finger, hissing loudly as I looked away from him. I thought I could look away for a long, but when I heard his loud laughter, I was forced to look back up. I caught him staring at me, and I realized that he had laughed so loudly just to attract my attention.

“I’LL GET YOU”

He mouthed to me, causing my eyes to go wide in shock. How could he sit up there and talk dirty to me, what if someone catches on. He is trying to flirt with me, but that is one dangerous game he is playing. If my sisters find out that I’m here, my plans would be ruined.

I can’t allow that. I decided to look away from him, and no matter what he said or did, I still wouldn’t look up. I picked on my food in silence, and when I was done, I moved to the adjoining hall that was prepped for dancing and more exciting fin games. I sat in front of a makeshift bar, and I ordered a margarita. A guy walked over and asked me for a dance, and I gladly obliged him. I need to mingle with the crowd while I wait for the perfect opportunity to carry out my plan.

I can smell him, he is a werewolf, just like Fabius and I was tempted to corner him in a quiet corridor and maim him. He had that distinct smell of werewolves that makes me want to gag. A few minutes into the dance, and my head was churning with different ideas on how to kill him. And I would have killed him if I didn’t perceive that amazing scent once more. The air around us suddenly changed and I felt a soothing feeling around my heart. Within seconds, I got rid of every evil thought in my head and I gazed around the hall, searching for his location.

“May I borrow her for a minute, please?”

His hoarse voice came from my back, and I swirled in the direction of his voice, and there he was, in all his earthly glory, looking so radiant and gorgeous. The guy bowed immediately and left me to him, leaving me no choice but to accept his request. There was no way I could turn around and leave. That would be disrespectful, and in sure no one would appreciate it if I disrespect their king. He guided my hands around his shoulder and he put his arms around my waist. For some unknown reason, I relaxed in his arms and I let him lead the dance while I followed his lead.

“f**k me, huh?” he let out after a few seconds, reminding me that is given him the middle finger earlier. I must admit, I never planned it this way, I never thought I would speak a word to this guy, let alone dance with him as if we are betrothed to each other. I’m supposed to kill this guy for crying out loud, why am I attracted to him, am I falling in love with the enemy?

“What the hell are you doing here, what do you want?” I retorted, giving him no chance to bully me. He kept looking into my eyes, while his hands explored my hips and ass. I shivered in desire, I had goosebumps all over, I can’t deny how I feel whenever I’m around him. I don’t know if I even feel this deeply for Drake. He was looking at me in a strange way, I just don’t know what is going on in his mind, but I have to leave here before he turns me weak.

“I should be the one asking the questions, Sugar. What are you doing here, and why are you wearing a disguise?”
