Hybrid

4- Trust

I look Alex in the eyes and growl. “I don’t trust you and I haven’t ever trusted anyone. I came with you up to this place. I came because you said you could protect me. I am not going to tell you anything till you have proven yourself to me. I don’t even know you. I have my own problems to deal with. The day that I can’t cope on my own will be the day I tell you about them. So if you want your ‘useful’ little hybrid then you better drive me back to the pack or else I WILL leave and I WILL go to the vampires somehow and inform them of your treachery and of your location for head quarters. You do not want to f*ck with me.”

I growled at the end of it and somehow my canine teeth extended a little. The look in Alex’s eyes showed fear and anger. “No, YOU don’t want to mess with me little girl. But because we need you I will take you to the pack. But Daniel will hear about this. Whatever you’re hiding won’t be secret for long.”

I growled at him but didn’t say anything because he started driving again.

After an hour of him driving slowly I decide to get information. “Since I’m just a pawn in this game of chess against the vampires, can you explain the issues that caused the rebellion?”

Alex growled. “I don’t have to tell you anything. Pawns don’t need information.”

I gripped the car seat and ripped a small hole by mistake, “Fine, but a queen or higher ranked player does. I could be replaced but that could take years to get it right. And to get a vampire to work with you would be head with your attitude. So can I have any information so that I know what the hell I’m being thrown into here?”

He sighed. “Fine, whatever your ‘Highness’. Werewolves were around before Vampires. Not more than a century but we’re still older. A few decades ago the werewolf Alpha was overthrown by illness. The opening for Dark world leader was meant for his grandson. But a Vampire got to it first and the grandson was killed. There is not an existing blood line for the throne but werewolves are still unhappy with an eternal lord. If anyone should rule is should be one that can pass the throne on to a blood line.”

I nodd, “Ok, but that doesn’t explain everything.”

Alex snaps at me. “I wasn’t finished talking. With a bloodsucker in the throne, the other vampires have begun to thing themselves better and higher up then werewolves and other Dark world members. Witches have become nearly extinct, shifters have gone into hiding and what’s left of the werewolves have started our rebellion to restore order. Finding out about your mother’s attack interested the Dark world. No one knew what would happen. When you were a child, we had a wolf go undercover and watch you and test your blood for vampire and wolf DNA. You had neither and thus abandoned hope of a new species. But when a vampire spy told us he had Intel of a death warrant for you from the Lord, Alpha decided it was best to get to you first and learn why such warrant was established.”

I nodd and try to fit the missing pieces together like how is it I have human scent and DNA yet I’m clearly a hybrid judging by my teeth, thirst, and my wolf. And what am I suppose to do to help this rebellion against vampires who helped make me who I am.

Nothing has yet to explain why I’ve always been a scapegoat for everyone. Only things that this information has solved are why I’m here in Nunavut and why the rebellion came to be. I huff and mess with my hair while I think. I still have no clue as to why the vampires want me dead.

Alex notices me messing with my hair. “You ever try going for the emo look? Your attitude and secretive ways would fit it perfectly.”

I give him a go to hell stare so he shuts up.

Later when we finally arrive at the Pack house, I head straight for my room and lock the door. I sit down on my bed and grab my parent’s photo. I look deep into both of their eyes. So full of life and love. But now they are both dead, murdered by the one who made me. That vampire better pray to a god that I don’t find him.
