Mated To The Hybrid

Chapter 11

*NICHOLAS P.O.V*

It’s the last thing I hear before I’m put into a binding spell. Distracted by Winston screaming ‘mate’, the sorcerer was able to put me under a binding spell. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have allowed this to happen. I sit in the car motionless unable to move or speak. Watching as the girl puts Winston and Reagan into a similar spell. To my surprise, Winston is able to struggle against her magic. She looks just as surprised as she watches him struggle.

“We need your help” the girl says turning to me, “We aren’t trying to harm you”.

All I can do is roll my eyes as she continues to speak. Perhaps she’s forgetting that her friend has me in a binding spell.

“I’ll bring down the spell” the sorcerer says to the girl, “Just be careful”.

I slowly feel my limbs beginning to ache as the spell starts to come off. The sorcerer steps back as the girl remains in place.

“Who are you?” I ask both of them calmly.

“We’re cousin” She responds first, “My name is Alyssa Evans”.

“Julian Evans” the guy responds, “We had a coven but we-“

“We need help” Alyssa pleads now. She looks between me and her cousin as I hesitate to say anything.

I look over at Winston who has now given up fighting the spell as he watches the witch intently.

“Lift the spell on my brothers” I tell her, “And then we can talk”.

She looks over at Julian before sighing in acceptance. She chants in Latin to lift the spell as Winston and Reagan start to move around. As soon as he’s free, Winston runs over to Alyssa, who in return puts another spell on him.

“Why do you keep doing this?!” he whines as he’s unable to reach her. She crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.

“MATE” He roars this time as she watches him.

“I don’t have much time” she tells him, “I need the future King to help me”.

He looks over at me as he growls lowly. It doesn’t go over well that his mate just said she needs my help. If Alpha wolves are known to be possessive then Royal wolves are ten times more.

“You’re mate and I will help” I tell her firmly, “I promise”.

“Take us into your pack” Julian interjects now, “We can no longer stay where we are”.

“Where’s that?” Reagan asks, “Where’s your coven?”.

“That’s what I’m telling you” Alyssa sighs, “What’s left of our coven needs protection”.

“From who?” Winston asks her.

“Not now but please say you’ll take all of us into your pack” Alyssa pleads, “It me, Julian and three more of our cousins”.

“You have my word” I reassure her, “Go tell the others and we’ll leave this place now”.

“I’ll go with you” Winston says a little too eagerly. She nods cautiously as she looks over at Julian.

“It’s better if you go with the brothers. People won’t question Royal wolves if they see them” Julian suggests.

“Fine” She tell him. Winston grabs her hand and they run out of the garage with Reagan trailing behind.

“Which one is her mate? Prince Winston or Prince James?” Julian asks when we’re finally alone.

I laugh as I hear this, “Winston. Her mate is Winston. The other one isn’t my brother. He’s my commander but he might as well be like my brother”.

He nods as he we sit in the car in complete silence. I can’t interrogate him just yet. I needed to question them in a more private setting. Even if she was my brother’s mate, I had to make sure they were going to be loyal to us.

“Our coven had a deal with an Alpha” Julian whispers to me, “He betrayed us and slaughtered everyone. Everyone, expect us”.

“What kind of deal” I ask him.

“Rogues kept attacking us” He starts, “We fought them at first but over time, it seemed like nothing worked against them. So we struck a deal with an Alpha for protection. In exchange, we would do his bidding”.

“Perhaps we should wait for the others. Just in-“

“He ordered us to use dark magic in hopes that it would help him more” He finishes saying, “When we refused, he destroyed our coven. He gave us as slaves to the oldest rogue family”.

“The Kingston family?”

He nods as I notice him clenching his fists, “They tortured us and almost killed us”.

This was unheard of. The Kingston family mostly kept to themselves. Living in seclusion…at least that’s what the recent reports say about them

“Who’s the Alpha?”

He shrugs, “He never revealed his true self. He had on a magical disguise every time we met. Even his scent was disguised”.

I angrily huff as I hear all of this. An Alpha was doing this! Attacking others and getting away with it! I had to find who was doing this! Was it possible that the hybrid was helping this Alpha? Julian did say this Alpha was disguising his face and scent. No one is that powerful…but the hybrid is… could it be possible?!

A Couple of Hours Later…

“Where’s Winston?” I angrily huff as I skim through the reports. Nothing in them had the information I needed. Not one report mentioned anything unusual about the Kingston Family.

Once we got to our territory, I informed father of Winston and Alyssa. While he wasn’t too thrilled, he did allow her and her cousins to join our pack. Aunt Regina heavily opposed their mate bond once Winston and Alyssa were gone. All she cared about was alliances and power. To her, if the mate bond didn’t get you further ahead then it wasn’t worth it. Considering she married a Royal from Europe, I knew she wasn’t taking this lightly.

“He told me not to bother him for the rest of the night” Reagan tells me.

I sigh as I feel the slight jealousy rising within me. My little brother had gotten what I wanted most…A true mate. It was too late for me now. As of yesterday, I was unofficially engaged to Tamara Davidson. Just the thought of that girl made me shudder in disgust. Her demeanor towards everyone was truly frightening. My informant within Silver Crescent Moon had all the information I needed on her. At 21 years of age, she wasn’t as mature as I hoped. Her traits were those similar to her brother William. Scheming and lying to get their way…berating those that serve them. Given I have no choice but to marry her and make her my queen, I would have to limit her power.

“I’ve got nothing” Reagan says as he tosses a stack of papers to the side, “Maybe it wasn’t an Alpha”.

I snap out of my thoughts and turn to face him, “It has to be. Who else would benefit…”

There has only been one person to truly benefit from all this. William Davidson. Alpha of Silver Crescent Moon. After every rogue attack, he forms an Alliance. He’d help them but what was he getting in return?

“Sir, you’ve got someone in mind?” Reagan asks as he watches my conflicted face.

“I do but it’s a stretch” I admit. If there’s one thing I won’t do is accuse someone without proof.

“Should we go over the investigations again?”

I shake my head and a yawn escapes me. Looking down at my phone I see it’s well past 4 am.

“You should go and get some rest” I tell Reagan, “I still have work to do”.

He hesitates as he I continue to reread these reports, “Go on Reagan. I need some alone time anyway”.

Hearing him sigh and finally getting up, I relax into my seat. At least one of us would be getting some sleep.

“Don’t forget Tamara Davidson is coming by later” Reagan says as he walks out of my office.

“How can I?”

Could this be my punishment for everything I’ve done in the past? To marry someone who wasn’t destined to be mine? My heart aches as I think of the idea of my true mate. How I would never meet her and never get to know who she is. If I didn’t meet her in all of this time, then there was no way I’d meet her now. It was an impossible reality.

You never know. We could meet her tomorrow, my wolf Roman says with so much hope.

I scoff at his words. Although I too, deep down, wish to meet her before I say ‘I do’.
