The Hybrid Queen's Mate ✔ GxG

52

Athena Kings

I sat down in the cell with Ophelia-Lauren- as she held her head down.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

I want my mate back.

I want her in my arms.

"Because I know you won't hurt Ezra. Her body is just a mere host." Ophelia said, her head still down.

"Where is your body?"

"Its not that easy to say." She laughed.

"If I hurt Lauren's body, you will feel it?" I stood up and walked over to her.

"Ye-" I slapped her across the face which cut her off from what she was saying.

Ophelia spat out the blood that my hand drew and looked at me.

"You're going to hurt her." She said. "She will never forgive you."

I growled and held the braids, tugging her hair back. I punched her in the nose, breaking the bone in the process. Ophelia cried out and I punched the broken bone once more. That made her cry out even more.

"You're going to start speaking."

Seven broken ribs later, a broken wrist, a broken nose, busted lip and a black and blue eye, she didn't speak.

I snarled as I stared at Ophelia.

I didn't want to hurt Lauren.

I wish I didn't have to.

I bit my wrist and shoved it in her mouth. My blood pooled into her mouth and she drank it up. Her bones snapped back in place and I looked down at her body.

I pulled my wrist from her mouth.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I wanted power." She mumbled. I sighed and pulled the chair to sit down in front of her.

Wanted?

I wanted to try this without violence one last time.

"We're going to have a civilized conversation, Ophelia, and I need answers. Please."

Ophelia looked at me. Her eyes were fully black and that showed that it was Ophelia.

"When I leave Lauren's body, she's going to die." Ophelia said softly.

"Can't you stop her from dying?"

Ophelia shook her head.

"She was destined to die. That's her main purpose. When I created her, I cursed her. The curse was that when she came in contact with me, after the transfusion, she would die. There's no way to go around it, no way to cure her or resurrect her."

My heart tore at that.

"She's still alive currently, unconscious, in the back of her mind. I only have control over her body."

Ophelia sighed and she threw her head back.

"I'm regretting this, Athena. Fuck, I-I thought things would've been the same like it was back then."

"Why did you start doing grim magic back then?"

"Out of curiosity. It eventually turned into power hunger and things got out of control." I then realized that she was crying softly.

I rubbed my hands over my face and sighed.

Fuck, what should I do?

"I'm turning myself in. My body is on the faerie land, in the furthest cave from the queen's home."

I'm having whiplash.

"Why the change of mind?"

"Being in a pure body with pure mind has given me vision, a clear pathway. My body was clouded with darkness and it's all I see there - nothingness. There's this constant voice that nags me, telling me to destroy, to kill and I can't get rid of it."

I processed what she just said.

"Is-is it possible for me to talk to Lauren?" Ophelia nodded.

Her eyes closed and then her body fell limp for a second before she held her head up.

The innocent, pretty brown eyes I knew stared at me.

My eyes pooled with tears and I untied her. I wrapped my arms around her figure and took her in my arms.

I sobbed as I held her close to me.

I don't want to lose her.

I couldn't lose her.

Lauren's frail arms wrapped around me and I realized that her body was getting weak when she was in control of her body.

"I dont want to lose you." I sobbed. Lauren pushed me back so that she could release herself from the hug.

She smiled at me.

The smile didn't reach her eyes.

"It'll be okay." Her soft voice said. Lauren placed her hand on my cheek as the genuine smile graced her lips. "I love you."

"I love you."

The last 'I love you'.

She leaned forward and placed her lips on mine. I kissed her back and I felt her tears on my cheeks. Our tears mixed together and I pulled her in closely to me.

The last kiss.

Lauren pulled back and she rested her forehead against mine.

"My name is Ezra." She laughed softly. Even in her weakest times, she was laughing. "Ezra. Who would've thought?"

I smiled.

"When I go, please move on. Find someone to love, get a heir to the throne." Lauren- Ezra said.

I shook my head.

"Mama, I can't. I don't possibly think I could ever move on from you."

"Of course you can."

I blinked away my tears as I sniffled.

"I love you, Athena Amelia King."

"No." My voice cracked.

Her brown eyes went black and I knew Ophelia was back in control.

I didn't have the energy to move.

Ophelia wrapped her arms around me and I found myself breaking down in her arms. It was still Lauren. It was still her body.

After awhile, I pulled back and wiped my eyes.

"I'll have them search for your body and bring it here." I tied her back to the chair and she looked at me with regret. I couldn't see anything in her eyes but I could tell what her face was saying.

I left the cell and mind linked Solana.

"Her body is on Faerie Land, the furthest cave from the queen's house. Approach with caution. It could be a trap."
