The Hybrid Queen's Mate ✔ GxG

01

"Lauren, they announced that they'll be picking the one hundred and twenty tomorrow." My grandmother said as she listened the radio.

I sighed.

"Ma, you know that I won't get chosen. Four years have passed. What would they be doing with me now?" I rolled my eyes and she glared at me.

"Anything is possible."

Yeah, right.

I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for us. My brother, Marcus, was out having fun with his friends. He's the one I'm worried about. With him now being seventeen, there's a chance he could be picked, and killed.

Every year, 120 people was chosen to serve the four nations, the vampire nation, the werewolf nation, the faerie nation and the coven. After one year of serving, one hundred people are killed, leaving twenty who are good at their job. I don't know how that works or how the system works.

The killing is done to help with population control. We were informed that there was little to no space for more humans, for women kept breeding every year, increasing the population by a thousand. Next year, they announced that they would increasing the number of chosen ones if the birth rate increases this year.

I scrambled the eggs, wanting to abandon my thoughts.

Grandma was right.

I could get chosen this year.

I was just 21 years old, not far from seventeen.

There wasn't a specific age where we'd stop getting picked. They once picked a thirty-years-old woman. To say I was shocked is an understatement. What would they be doing with her?!

If I do get picked, I'd want to serve the coven.

Magic!

That would be so cool.

According to research, anyone can become a witch or wizard. It takes practice and years of determination.

There's this story of the dark mage Ophelia and it just proves my point.

I think after that entire thing, teaching outsiders magic was put on a hold but now, I'm not sure how that's going, if it has resumed or it's still on hold.

The nations is an entire different world from our world. There wasn't a portal or wards that closed it off. It was miles away, covered behind tall trees that looked like they connected to the heavens.

If something was happening in the world of the nations, we wouldn't know. They don't inform us, they don't see us, nothing. The only time they'd ever reach out to us is when it's time for the choosing.

I served grandma her plate and she hummed, fanning me off as she listened keenly to the radio.

When I'm a grandma, this isn't the type I'm going to be.

I'm going to be cool and swag.

I went back to the kitchen to serve myself a plate of the scrambled eggs, toast and coffee before going to the living room to sit with her.

"Ma, can I watch the TV?"

"Do whatever. Just don't disturb my radio signal."

"Yes, ma'am." I turned the television on and grinned when I saw one of my favorites being played, Henry Danger.

I know this was a short chapter but Y'ALL, I'm so excited for this story. Y'all can even see that I put it in proper grammar cz it means a lot to me. I sat down and planned this story for WEEKS, writing the backstory, everything.

Originally, I was gonna name the story, 'The Hybrid Queen's Mate' because it's fitting but then im like... That's boring, you're not gonna get many reads on it and decided to go with something even boringERRRR. How does that works lol?

(Edit: I did name the story that)

Anyways let's get into itttt

DISCLAIMER

This story is pure fictional and straight from my imagination. I was inspired by a few books and movies, yes, but the plot was put together in my MIND © plxnet-earth

If you want to imagine the characters differently, then be my guest. If Character A has brown hair and you want to think Character A has black then do your thing!

The main character, Lauren Holness, is black. At every turn, I won't be like "her melanin skin glistened", "i blushed but it wasn't obvious because I was dark" (maybe), or even bad grammar like, "Unt Unt", or "Aht Aht" and stuff like those. DONT GET ME WRONG, there is NOTHING wrong with that. It's apart of people's lingo.

I won't be using the n word AT ALLLLL bc ik there's some white people soooo we gonna be respectfulllll.

Y'all won't even able to tell she's black
