The Tribrid's Mates

Abducted

Elena

"Elena Mendez," I told him my name and he smiled. Since he still held on to the handshake, I had to withdraw my hand myself.

Like he was already accustomed to the house, Eren walked into the kitchen and grabbed a kettle.

"Last time we met, I asked you why I couldn't smell any distinct blood in you," Eren said with his back turned to me as he filled the kettle with water and ignited the gas cooker. He wasn't going to give up, was he? He still wants to know why I'm the way I am.

"Are you ready to give me an honest answer now?" Eren asked and grabbed a chocolate and milk packs from the cupboard.

"As I said, I'm special," I tried not to give a complete truth. I don't know why I felt the need to lie to him. He was my beloved after all, but maybe I'm afraid he'll also hate or abandon me if he finds out I'm 'mundane'. This fear made me feel so insecure around other supernaturals and I just wished it'll disappear.

"How?" He asked and stirred the two cups of hot chocolate on the kitchen slab, "who are your parents and which race do they belong to?" He asked and finally turned around to face me.

"My dad is a vampire-werewolf hybrid. He's the leader of The Creed," I replied honestly this time and I saw his eyes widen in surprise, "My mom is a sorcerer; a witch." I continued and collected the cup of chocolate he stretched out towards me.

"Wow!" He looked surprise and I looked at him closely to determine if he faked it. He didn't.

"Then how come no one has ever heard of you? General Wyatt's daughter." He said.

"I like to stay low," I replied and he chuckled.

"Says the CEO of Mendez Corporation. Give me a break." Eren scoffed, "So have you heard the stories about the Salvatore?" He suddenly changed the topic to one I considered a fairy tale.

"Yes, my mom read the prophecies about the Salvatore to me when I was a kid," I sipped the chocolate in my hand, "if you ask me, it's all a story made up to amuse kids." I scoffed.

"So you don't believe that the Salvatore is going to exist to save the magical race. Hungh?" Eren stared at me like he was trying to pry my thoughts out of my head.

"Yeah, the only thing the magical race needs saving from is this believe in a savior who is going to save them from a so called unforseen danger or doom, whatever." I scoffed again and Eren just nodded.

"Just wanted to check up on you. I'll take my leave now." Eren dropped his cup on a table and walked towards me. He leaned in and thinking he wanted to kiss me, my breath tensed, but he only pecked me on the cheek.

He winked at me as he walked towards the door and I gritted my teeth. He just teased me.

"Bye," he said and opened the door, "Beloved." He said it. He said the word! I just stood where I was, watching him walk out.

I also needed to just get out of this confinement, so I locked the door and walked into my garden. It was something I treasured so much. I had fine collection of plants and flowers grown there and just sniffing in the green scent brought smiles to my lips.

Lately though, I've been busy so I hired a gardener to take care of them. He'll be around soon to water and trim them, but today, I'm going to be doing that myself. I grabbed the watering can next to me and I walked towards the tap to fill it with water.

I patiently waited for it to get filled up and then I headed back for the garden. I immediately stopped in my tracks as my senses picked up another presence. Jake wouldn't be back in another one hour and it definitely wasn't Wyatt.

I Iooked for something around to defend myself as I felt the presence nearer. It was obviously a werewolf. No, werewolves, they were two.

Since it would be stupid thinking I can defend myself if they were here to attack, I immediately felt the instinct to hide, but before I could take a step, I saw a seven foot tall wolf pounce on me and knock off the watering can in my hand.

The last thing I saw and remembered before drifting into darkness was the wolf who had pounced on me changing into a young beautiful lady with red hair and the other person dragging me with my foot getting bruised by the ground.

I slowly opened my eyes to the feeling of immense pain. I felt like my body was being hit with rocks from every angle. Where was I? That was the first thought that ran through my mind.

My vision was blurry tear and sweat clogged my eyes. My joints ached and my skin cried from the cold hard floor I was forced to lie on.
The room I was in was empty and there was nothing else in it apart from the cobwebs handing around the corners of the room.

My frantic effort to remember who I had offended or a crime I had committed was all in vain. I couldn't remember doing any of this things, so why would someone do this to me?
Who were those that abducted me and punished me to this horrible condition.

I mustered the little bit of strength in me and groaned in pain as I got on my feet. The sharp pain in my feet caused me to look down at them and I realized that they were bleeding. My feet were badly scarred with deep cuts and bruises.

I managed to take a few more steps forward and would have continued, but for the sharp pain that came from the cold metal that bite into my skin. I looked at my wrist and cursed in frustration to see the metal cuffs strapped around them.

That moment, a door at the other end of the room creaked as it opened. My eyes were suddenly hit by the sudden influx of sunlight and I was forced to close them. I opened my eyes when they finally adjusted to the sunlight and I saw a man standing before me.

He was huge and had long hair, but I couldn't make out his facial features because of the sunlight. My lips quivered as I struggled to speak and I could finally ask him the most important question of my mind now.

"Where am I?" My breathing tensed and the man seemed to notice it cause he reached for a old plastic chair at a corner of the room and made me sit on it.

"You will know when the time is right. " He refused to give me a direct reply. Maybe he thought, I'd try to escape and didn't want me to have an idea of the way out. My lips moved again to speak, but this time, my voice only came out as a weak whisper. "Why am I here."

I noticed the wide grin on his face and he finally gave me an answer this time.

"You committed no offence or offended no one, but the special nature that runs through your blood is the reason for this," he paused and cupped my left cheek with his cold hands, "you are the hope and salvation of the entire Werewolf race."

Many thoughts went through my mind at that instant. I wanted to scream at him that I was not in one bit special and that in fact, I was an anomaly. I was weak and powerless, but I just remained silent as I didn't have the strength to do this
