Mate of the Incubus

Determination

The Next Day...

Darell was cleaning his home for he wanted something to do. He came back from a meeting with the Alpha and other pack members about rouges and the incubus. He and his brethren do not get along with the incubus. The incubus torment and invade the dreams of many the mates of male werewolves.

Darell's thoughts were interrupted when he heard his phone ring. When he saw the caller ID, he saw Christina's name. He smiled and answered the phone. "Hey, Christina, what a wonderful surprise. How are you? I was about to call you."

"Hey, Darell. I was wondering if we could talk? I am at Starbucks, close to Downey Library, which is ten minutes where I live; I can give you the address if you like."

He noticed that Christina sounded troubled; he grew concerned. "Yeah, give me the address, and I will meet you as soon as possible."

She gave him the address; Darell got his keys and went on his way.

About ten minutes later, Darell found the Starbucks, parked his car, and walked to the coffee store. He saw Christina sitting at a table that was outside the building. He went to her, and she looked at him. "I got you a vanilla latte. Is that okay?" she asked.

"It's perfect, thank you." Darell hugged her, and she did the same.

Both sat and looked at one another.

Darell held her right hand. "Are you okay? You sound pretty down. What's going on?"

Christina got her hand away from him; she took a deep breath. "Darell, is there something you are hiding from me?"

He looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, are you hiding a secret?"

Darell sat silently, his eyes never leaving Christina.

"Are you a werewolf?"

Shock overcame him. So many thoughts were going through his mind. "How...?"

"Last night, I had a dream; Zepher was in it. It felt so real. He told me to meet him at the park in my dream, which I did. He showed me his truth; he is an incubus. He also told me that you are a werewolf. Now, tell me. Is he telling the truth?"

Darell felt his heart beat faster and faster in nervousness. On the outside, he did not show what he felt. He took a deep breath. "Yes, it's true. I'm sorry that I did not tell you. I-I like you. I didn't tell you sooner because I was scared that you would fear me. I would have told you once you got more comfortable with me. I'm sorry." He put his head down and felt Christina touch his hair.

She then put her hands under his chin and pulled his head up. "I just wanted to know. You told me the truth now. I can see why you hid the truth. I never thought I would meet a werewolf; I thought they were pure myth."

Darell felt more at ease. He felt happy and at peace.

Christina began asking questions about his kind, and he happily explained all her questions.

However, neither of them knew that they were being watched from afar.

In the Incubus World

Zepher POV

Sitting in the meeting hall, I listened to my councilors speaking about me getting a wife. They wanted me to marry some succubus, but I refused the offer. They were too slutty for my taste. My thoughts were with one woman and one woman alone, Christina. I was angered, but at the same time, I was enamored by her strength. No one ever spoke to me in that manner. It made me want to possess her even more.

"I will not marry a succubus, for I am interested in a woman already, a human," I announced. The councilors looked at me with shock. "A female human!? My king, why would you go for a human female!? They are weak!" spoke an old councilman.

I hit the table so hard that it made an echo in the room. "You will not order a king! You are nothing more than mere subjects that my ancestors gave titles to. I can take them away if I wish! You will not answer back! Am I understood!?"

All of the councilors stood and bowed in apology as they should. I ordered them to leave, and when they left, I was alone. I was trapped in my thoughts. I'm not against marriage, I want to marry Christina, but it was going to take a while. I stood from my seat and was about to head until I heard a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened, and one of my subjects was young and good-looking, as was typical for our kind. He knelt before me. Since I was in the meeting, I had sent him to spy on Christina for today. "Your report?"

"My king, as requested, I have followed your mate. I saw her with another man, who happened to be a werewolf."

I froze.

Werewolf?! Christina was with the mutt again! "What were they doing together!?" I asked, seething my teeth.

"They were at a coffee shop, speaking. I did my best to hear them carefully, but I heard that werewolf telling the lady of his identity. However, there is something else you must know."

He told me what else had occurred.

My hands turned into fists; I could feel my veins forming on my arms and head. That hit the point. My heartbeat was in an utter rage, and the servant took a quick bow and left. I got off my chair and punched a hole in the wall.

The incubus spy bowed quickly and left.

I had enough! I waited too long now; now it was time to take what is mine! I will not let a dog get what rightfully belongs to me!

I decided that tonight I would take what was mine.
