Rejection HURTS, Revenge Can Help

Chapter 38

There was a pregnant pause as Harry and I locked eyes. Niall choked on whatever we was eating on. He scrambled to find some water in the fridge. And Liam appeared unaffected but you could see the blatant interest in his eyes. Obviously, I was not the only one kept in the dark. Louis, however, looked fairly calm. Too calm. He had to know something.

Suddenly Harry serious demeanor broke into a smile. "Just kidding."

Niall then started to choke on the water. My eye twitched. "You bastard." I made the move to choke him out but an arm around my waist prevented me. His dark woodsy scent along with his brooding aura calmed me.

Zayn clutched onto me from behind and withheld me. "Be calm. Harry is just bored. He was in dire need of entertainment."

"Oh, was I? I was not made aware. Anyway, I was joking about being your grandfather. I am more of a distant uncle."

My eyes shrunk into slits.

Niall and Liam's head moved back and forth between Harry and I. Almost as if they were enthralled in a ping-pong match.

"How distant?"I inquired.

"I may be your great-great-great uncle."

Cue Nial choking himself out. Even Daddy Direction was too distracted to take care of Niall. He just haphazardly patted his back. With Zayn's surprisingly calming presence was the only thing between Harry and his impending death. I could almost feel the tick marks forming on my forehead like they do in animes."Why should I believe you?"

Harry chuckled. "Whenever had I lied to you? Well, besides just now. And I didn't lie to you about being a werewolf. I lied to your alpha and you just assumed. Besides we came clean about those and-never mind. That is beside the point."

Louis chuckled. "Nicely done. You sure know how to argue your point."

"Shut up,Louis." Harry bit out.

"No I mean really. You went through all this trouble to find her and you still withhold the truth. How do you suppose we are to defeat them when she still is unawakened?"

"Shut up Louis." Everyone chanted.

Zayn released his hold on me to threatenly step towards Louis. His normal chocolate eyes were now burning with embers. Here is the Alpha Panther again. "Silence."

Louis' eyes sparked with a glimpse of worry before breaking out into a smirk. Louis held up his hands in mock surrender, those blue eyes sparking with mischief.

I paused. "Unawakened. What does he mean?"

Niall glared at Louis and threw a broken carrot at his feet. "You dumbo. We were supposed to tell her. Now it looks like we are lying to her all over again. Thanks to you we are back to square one."

"Not necessarily." I interrupted.

They all turned to me.

"I don't believe all of you lied to me...I only think Harry did."

"What?"Harry exclaimed.

"Well he is the oldest of all of you. Because of this, he is far more cunning and probably knows more of this situation than we do. So please Styles. Grace us with your knowledge. I have all day."

Harry rolled your eyes. "No need to make fun. Anywhore, you are what we call 'unawakened'. Have you merged with your hybrid side yet?"

I looked at him in question.

"You don't even know what I am talking about. Damn. Well pretty much what I am talking about is that you have a hybrid."

"I know that part. I was confused about what you meant about merging."

"Well if you would allow me to explain without interruption, we wouldn't have that problem."

My jaw clenched in annoyance. I felt Zayn bristle beside me. Liam and Louis growled in response.

"Watch your tone, Styles." Niall warned.

Harry brushed him off but continued anyway. "Like regular wolves, your hybrid is a separate mind but because you are a hybrid you can't connect with her. The only way for you to unleash your full potential is to fully bond with your hybrid."

I raise my brows."You mean shift like wolves. And connect with her."

Harry shook his head full of curls. "No. Something akin to it but on a entirely different level. Like a regular wolf, they bond with their wolf but they are two different minds. Because you are a hybrid, you don't just bond with your hybrid, you become your hybrid. One mind and one body. You will be able to shift to your hybrid form and I believe you can go into a vampire mode as well as cast some spells."

If I had less self awareness and control, my jaw would have went slack. Luna Maria said something like this earlier. "So that is how I suddenly knew latin but couldn't recall what I said afterwards."

Louis nodded.

"Is there anything else I need to know?"I asked.

Harry ran a hand through his hair. "Well, when you merge into your hybrid, you are to become an Guardian."

"A guardian?"

"Yeah. You know. Like humans have Guardian Angels. Well they exist. You would become a Guardian. This entails being an immortal as well. Fate has marked you as a future Guardian and soon you are to possibly become a Guardian Angel. But on earth when you finally prove yourself worthy, become one with your hybrid and have dealt with your inner demons, you will earn your wings and your title as a Guardian."

"What does being a Guardian entail?"

Harry shrugged. "To be honest. I haven't the slightest idea. As far as I know, every Guardian has a certain purpose based on his or her traits. What you end up being assigned as depends purely on- well you."

I narrowed my gaze onto Harry. "How do you know so much?"

Harry raised a brow in response. "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said. How do you know so much? If the fates and Guardians are as important and secretive as you imply then why would they trust someone like you with that information. Do I even want to know how you came by it?"

"I have friends in high places. Let's just say I'm...a special case. Leave it at that."

My instincts told me there was more to it. Harry was hiding something. But knowing him, he would rather take it to his grave before confessing to the likes of me. Reluctantly, I let it go...for now. "Okay boys. Now that that is done with. What is next on the agenda?"

"Well the thing about Zayn in the note was a bust. It was a trap from the get go. She knew we would come here." Louis said.

"What if she didn't mean me?"

We all looked to the side to see Zayn sitting up. His face had dried tears but his eyes were clear. Zayn is back.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

Zayn looked at me as if I was stupid."What if she didn't mean me?"

Niall raised a brow."Who else could she mean?"

Zayn sighed in exasperation."Who is the only one here who probably has the most skeletons in his closet?" He said it as if he was explaining this to children. I let it slide for now because it all clicked in my brain.

My head swiveled as I locked my cobalt gaze with two sparkling emeralds eyes."Harry. Of course."
