The Hybrid Luna's Fate

Chapter 3- "Mate"

Chapter 3

Adeline's POV

The coolness from the air hit me instantly, but it wasn’t enough to drown out the pounding in my head.

I moved further away from the house, past group of smokers and couples making out against cars,my head was still pounding and every sense I had increased 5 times harder.

I quickly walked far away from the party, until the sound of music dulled behind me. My senses were still heightened—every scent, every sound pressing in on me like the world had suddenly decided to sharpen itself to unbearable clarity.

What is wrong with me?

I’d never done drugs, never smoked, and the little alcohol I had wasn’t nearly enough to make me feel this way. It wasn’t nausea anymore–it was like my whole body was… waking up.

I was so distracted by my thoughts that I hadn't realized I had walked so far up into an alley way. There weren't people around just cars parked and an old bench to sit. The lights around here were very dim too,I was glad the place was quiet, at least I had time to relax and figure myself out.

I sat down, trying to slow my racing thoughts, my hands shaking as I buried my face in them. I started tracking my breaths and using some self support techniques we learned in class to stop myself from overreacting and throwing up. After a few minutes I had become calm.

“Water?”.

A voice spoke,for a second I thought I was hallucinating again not until I looked up to find an unfamiliar figure. It was a man, with dark hair. I couldn't tell the color of his eyes but if I wasn't mistaken I'd say hazel or maybe gold,he looked around his late twenties or probably he's early thirties.

“No thank you”,I muttered while still locking eyes with him. Something in him didn't feel right.

“A pretty girl like you shouldn’t be sitting out here alone,” he said, stepping closer. “Take the water. You look thirsty.”,he was right though,I was thirsty as hell.

Taking one look at the bottle then at him,I grabbed the bottle of water without thinking twice. The bottle was still locked so what could be the worse that would happen. After gulping over three to four mouthfuls of water I was sure I was okay and I stood up so I could start heading back to the party.

“Thank you for the water sir,it was really kind of you”,I said. Of course I wasn't going to leave without thanking him.

Just as I was about to walk away the man who's name I had not known grabbed me by the hand.

“Leaving so soon?” His smile twisted.

“Didn't your parents ever tell you that it was rude to walk away from somebody……mostly if that person had helped you and wanted something back in return”, I quickly snatched my hand back.I knew where this man was going, I wasnt stupid, I knew what he wanted but i wasn't that kind of person , so I definitely wasn't going to stand here and watch him harass me.

“Let go”, panic surged. I tore my hand away and then I continued walking as fast as I could and hoped he wouldn't follow me behind or that he would find no interest in me.

But that's what it was, hope, hope that got me no where.

I realized that he was still chasing after me and that he was just a few feet behind me and before I could run any further his two large hands had clamped around my waist and lifted me off the ground. I screamed and kicked at him but too no vail.

I should've realized how strong he was when he offered me that water. This was not a nightmare, it was truly happening.

I tried to loosen myself from his grip using my nails to scratch his hands. I screamed again, this time even louder but in disgust as his hands began to grope at my chest. He pulled me more into the alleyway, hiding us from the streets. I tried as best as I could to get him off of me but I was no match for him.He forced me onto to cold ground, pinning me down until he was fully on top of me.

Why was he so strong?.

Tears began to pour down my cheeks. I continued to fight him off as best as I could. He made his way to my dress, caressing all sides of me,my muscles were becoming tired but I refused to give up. I pried his clammy hands off of me, making sure to break his middle finger in the process. This made him shift a bit and gave me the upper hand as I kneed him in groin and tried my best to crawl away. Unfortunately, he used his other hand to grab my ankles by twisting it, making me scream in pain and dragged me through the floor until he was on top of me again.

“You thought it would be that easy huh princess”,he said while licking his lips, a wave of disgust and anger moved through my spine as I spat at him. He cleaned his face and I could still spot the dirty smirk on his face.

“f**k you”,I was surprised I was able to utter a word my throat felt dry,and every strength I had left in me was gone at this moment I began to pray a silent prayer in my head, hoping that someone would save me.

“When I'm done with you,you would wished you never said that”,he said before crashing his lips on my neck.

His breath was hot, his touch vile, and tears blurred my vision as I fought him.

Please. Somebody. Anyone…

I struggled again trying to reach for his neck and screaming hoping that someone passing by could hear me. He released his mouth from my neck looking at me in the eyes and for a second I swore that his eyes went darker.

He placed his big hands over my mouth , “Shhhh, this is going to hurt a little bit”, he said and then the most shocking thing happened,his teeth began to change into fangs which elongated more and it looked like he was about to bite my neck off.

Just when I thought my strength would give out, a blur slammed into him. The man was ripped away from me and hurled against a car with a bone-shaking force.

I scrambled backwards, terrified, gasping for air ,looking around for whoever had pushed him off of me.

And then I saw him.

The man a.k.a my savior, slammed my attacker on the side of a car repeatedly that I feared he would kill him. He then raised him with his hands, hovering him above in a strange position. I couldn't help but notice how strong he was,I could see the veins popping out of his hands that showed in his sleeve shirt.

Goddamit Adeline you're checking him out when you almost just got raped

I was interrupted of my thoughts when I heard a quick snap,I looked to see that my savior had snapped the neck of my attacker and left his body to fall limp in the ground.

He dusted his hands on his jacket as if killing a man was nothing. I noticed he was wearing an all black outfit with black boots.

He stepped towards me and stretched his hands.I grabbed it and supported myself as I stood up ,dusting my all ready ruined dress. His gaze locked with mine, piercing through me. I scanned his features.He had really dark hair,not too dark to be called black and not brown either and then I was met with his eyes, a pair of blue eyes which felt oddly familiar.

I was just in my thoughts when I heard him, “Mate,” he growled, his voice low, dangerous, claiming, and then his blue eyes got a shade darker just like my attacker’s.

My breath hitched. I wanted to move, but I couldn’t. Something inside me leaned towards him and pulled me closer.

I was too lost in his eyes to even function. “What's your name”,he asked, almost a whisper and for a second I couldn't bring out words from my mouth.

Why was I acting like this,this was just a stranger but then it felt like i have always known him.

“Adeline,” I managed.

He stepped closer His lips curled slightly, and he leaned close enough for me to feel his breath .

“Adeline…..you might want to close your eyes”,

Before I could react, a sharp sting pierced my neck. Pain. Heat. Darkness. My body crumpled, and the last thing I saw before unconsciousness swallowed me was his eyes—those same icy blue eyes from my nightmares.
