The Hybrid Queen's Mate ✔ GxG

Athena Kings
- the next day -

Killing will always be something I do for fun, for sport.

There's something about seeing the life drain from one's eyes, seeing their essence leave. It was... pleasing.

I licked the blood from between my fingers and took a long inhale.

Blood, how I love it.

I took the kerchief from my pocket and wiped my hands off, dropping it on the body. A smile graced my lips as I walked past the numerous bodies.

Solana entered the throne room and she grimaced slightly.

"Seriously?" I looked at her. "You're going to let Lauren clean this up?" She looked around at the numerous bodies.

Ignoring her question, I asked, "Why are you here? You came to see me yesterday."

"I love my dear sister." She grinned and folded her arms. I raised an eyebrow. "It's about Lauren."

"What about her?" I asked.

"Oh, you know, I'm gonna take her out."

"As in?"

"Out."

"No. She's not getting any days off. I don't give my workers day offs."

"The thing is, I wasn't asking, Athena, so suck it up. I'm taking her at 1 so fix your shit so she doesn't have a lot to do when she's working tomorrow."

For some odd reason, I didn't like the thought of Solana taking her out.

She's my mate. Why does she want to go out with her?

"I also know that she's your mate so don't worry. I won't do anything too... out of pocket."

My eye twitched at her comment.

I'm giving her ten seconds to leave.

"She mentioned to me that she is a virgin, so... you know, the better the blood and the better the pussy."

I used my speed to get in front of her and Solana smirked.

"We know you won't do anything to me. Sit your ass down, Athena." She patted my chest and left the throne room.

I clenched my fists in anger and punched the door, the wood shattering upon the impact of my fist, creating a hole in the door. I growled in anger and left the throne room and went towards the dungeons.

"Where are the newest prisoners?" I asked the guard and he led me to cell 73. He opened the grill and I walked into the cell.

"What's he in for?"

"Got caught stealing our weaponry."

I tilted my head at the vampire.

He twisted in the chains uncomfortably underneath my gaze. I dismissed the guard and rolled my shoulders back. I was in for a quick kill.

I wasn't here to play question and answer.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"J-Jared, your Highness."

I took up a dagger and ran my finger across the blade to test its sharpness. Almost instantly, it drew my blood.

I turned and threw the knife into Jared's shoulder, catching him off guard. He winced and gritted his teeth in pain. I took up a marching dagger and walked towards him.

"You know I don't like when my people, or anyone for that matter, steal from me. You've been living here, you know this." I leaned down to his height. "Weaponry out of all things."

I stabbed him in his other shoulder.

"The weapons that sit on the table are the same ones you tried to steal, and they're the same ones that are going to end your life."

Killing Jared didn't take long. I went to some other cells, emptying them and having my guards get people to get rid of the body.

I stood in the shower, looking down at the drain as the blood ran off my body. It wasn't mine, obviously. I took up the bottle of shampoo, squeezed some in the middle of my palm, and rubbed it in my wet hair, massaging my scalp.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Solana said.

I tried my hardest not to think about it.

I didn't know if she had taken out Lauren like she said she would because everything was in place, perfectly.

Why couldn't I come to terms that she's my mate?

I know I want her but I refuse to accept it.

Her scent coated my room, my bathroom, my office, and almost everywhere that I go. I could smell her. I wanted to go to her and have her scent rubbed all over me, mine over hers.

Having a mate was a weakness.

I couldn't manage to get distracted in my field of work. As queen, I had to make a better example for the others. I had nothing against the thought of a mate but I had to uphold a strong font for them.

I rinsed my hair and closed my eyes as the shampoo was washed out from my hair.

Soon.
