The Alpha's Hybrid Mate

by C Davis

  I growled at the thought of Duke touching her. I didn’t like it one bit, and I remember as I lashed out and damn near killed him because he told me he wanted a taste of her. My eyes flashed red, and I could feel my claws coming out as my father’s question played over and over in my head.

  “Dmitry!” I warned my father, calling him by his first name. I never did that unless I was about to snap. I hadn’t called him that since the day Tara died when he told me my brother had shown his face at the border.

  “Yes, get angry! Let your beast free.” He taunted me trying to get a rise out of my wolf. The blood boiled in my veins as I thrashed pulling the chains. “Now take that anger and lock it back in the cage. Control it.”

  Sweat dripped off my hair and trickled down my face as I yanked on the chains as hard as I could. I could feel my wolf ripping right through me making my bones ache to get free.

  “Lana…” I hissed out to him. “She’s the only one that can calm him. Please.”

  I begged him, but he shook his head no.

  I let out an animalistic howl and I felt the chains snap freeing me from the wall. My father ran outside the cage, locking me inside. He took a step back.

  “Shit!” I heard him mutter under his breath and ran up the stairs, leaving me pounding the bars of the cell. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, but it was no good. My chest heaved as I breathed hard holding my chest.

  Jaxson, calm down.

  You can do this.

  I sniffed the air and smelled the sweet smell of her. My mate.

  “Jaxson.” She whispered in her sweet voice.

  “Lana.” I croaked out in a strained voice as I slid down to the cold cement floor.

  “Calm down, you can do this, baby.” She purred, wrapping her fingers around the bars.

  “Stay back, I don’t want to hurt you.” I whimpered in pain on my hands and knees.

  “I’m not afraid of you.” She reached out in between the cell bars. “You won’t hurt me.”

  On my hands and knees, I peered up to her and my wolf whined to me as he slowly let me take back over my body. I collapsed to the floor and felt myself growing weaker as she unlocked the door. My eyes closed as I fell limp and let sleep take over.

  The next time I woke up, I was in my room and Lana was dabbing a cold washcloth on my forehead.

  Had I dreamed the entire lesson with my father?

  I whimpered as she wiped my face and ran her fingers through my hair. “Are you okay?”

  I nodded knowing I was lying. I was far from okay but didn’t want to upset her. I didn’t want her to worry about me when she was carrying our child.

  She hovered over me and looked deep in my eyes. “I know you're lying to me, but I’ll let that slide.”

  I visibly gulped as her hair tickled my face and tried to focus on anything else. Her breasts were in my face as she straddled me. I was trying hard to not get an erection, but it wasn’t doing any good that she had her hands all over me and on top of me with her body pressed to mine.

  “Lana,” I growled, warning her she was playing a dangerous game with me.

  “Jaxson.” She countered and traced a finger down my chest and down to the button of my jeans.

  “Please Lana,” I breathed out, not sure exactly what I was begging for.

  Was I begging her to stop or for her inch her hand down lower?

  A knock sounded on the door making her jerk away from me and stand up. Cole stood there with anger written all over his face. I sat up on my elbows and asked. “What is it?”

  “Your sister said Lorenzo has been sending her texts saying we have one week to surrender the hybrid. If we don’t, they…”

  “They’ll what?”

  “They’ll take her by force.” He finished glowering his golden eyes out of breath.

  Lana went to leave, but I pulled her down by her wrist. “Stay and rest. I have some business with Cole.”

  As I pulled my shirt over my head, I leaned down and pecked her lips. She closed her eyes just as I walked away. I knew she was exhausted from taking care of me plus being pregnant. I led him to the office and sat down behind my desk pulling out the bottle of whiskey.

  “He’s not going to fucking touch her or my sister.” I twisted the cap off, pouring us a shot.

  “So what are we going to do?”

  “We are going to get my father to bring us his witch and find out what she knows about the motherfucker.”

  “When?” He asked downing his shot.

  “Now. Go get him.”

  ***

  Lorenzo

  I traced the picture of Lana as I curled my lips up. You will be mine again just as soon as I plan my attack on your precious alpha mate’s pack. I’ll make sure you never leave me. I did regret having to beat her, but the damn woman wouldn’t submit to me like a she-wolf was supposed to do. I left her in that ditch as a lesson.

  When I went back that night to retrieve her, she was gone and the scent of the Scarlet Peak all over the place where I left her. I was so angry that I called my friend Duke to recruit someone to spy on them and then report back to me.

  The informant had been in the pack for years, which made him perfect for the job. He’s been wanting to take his revenge on them, and now seemed like the perfect time to do that. He nervously stood in front of me as sweat dripped down his forehead.

  “What have you found out?” Bringing the glass to my lips.

  “She’s pregnant, and her witch powers have started to surface.”

  “Good, it won’t be long now. You may go, tell the maid to bring me my dinner.” He nodded and left.

  A knock sounded on the door and in stepped the nervous woman with a tray of food. She laid it down and I gripped her by the arm.

  “Come here,” I commanded her and she bowed her head as I let go of her. She walked around the desk and kneeled with her head down. I gripped her chin forcing her to look at me.

  “Come. Sit.” I patted my thigh.

  “I-I don’t…” I pulled her up and forced her to sit on my thigh.

  “Shh. I don’t bite. Well, I don’t bite hard.” She bit her lip as I pushed her hair to the side, sinking my teeth into her neck.

  She tried to scream, but I covered her mouth with my free hand. Her blood tasted sweeter than anything I’d ever tasted before in my life.

  She struggled to get free, and I took off my belt and wrapped it tightly around her wrists to keep her from pushing me away. I made sure to make it tight enough to restrain her. I sucked on her neck, and let the blood slide down my throat. I could feel her growing weaker as I sucked her blood harder. I retracted my teeth from her neck and watched as she went limp in my arms.

  I picked up my phone and dialed the number. “I need you to dispose of the maid on the border of the Crimson Peak territory.”

  The plan was starting and when they found out who I had just killed they would be angry. I would be ready for anything they sent my way. I would always be one step ahead of them as long as my informant didn’t fail me. Jaxson would no doubt be contacting me as soon as they discover the body.

  CHAPTER 19

  Jaxson

  My training didn’t go as planned. I got angry all right, but I didn’t exactly contain my wolf. My father had to call down Lana to calm me. I was so afraid when she reached through the bars I would hurt her. Surprisingly, I didn’t. If anything, her touch calmed the beast in me.

  I laid my head down and closed my eyes. The door opened and I rested my chin on my hands. My father stood there rubbing the back of his neck. “So I called my witch, but she can’t be here for a few days.”

  “That’s fine.” I was about to say something else, but Cole busted through my door. “Jaxson, you’ve got to come quick. The border.”

  I ran outside following Cole, with my father following behind me. The trees went by in a blur as I ran to the edge, and came to a halt when I smelled the stench of rotting flesh. I inched closer and saw her lifeless body. I pushe
d her matted blonde hair away from her face, and that’s when I saw it. There were two puncture holes in her neck. Her clothes had been torn; stained with her blood.

  I studied her face, and I immediately recognized her. She was one of the maids in our pack that disappeared without a trace. She always kept to herself and was shy. I never had any problems with her. Her father was my father’s beta. I can’t remember her name. It’s right on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t get it out.

  I don’t understand.

  We haven’t had a vampire problem in years.

  Why now?

  “Oh shit.” I heard my father’s hushed whisper.

  “What is it?”

  “This is James’ daughter. This is going to tear him apart.”

  “You take the body and take her to the infirmary,” I commanded them, and looked to my father as he braced himself against the tree. He knew he was going to have to tell James the bad news.

  “But why the infirmary? She’s already…”

  “Don’t ask questions, just fucking do it!”

  I was already angry about Lorenzo texting my sister, and now this. I watched as one of my men carefully picked up the limp woman, and carried her to the back of the house. I had to make sure that James doesn’t see him take her inside. James was going to be torn up.

  She grew up with us since we were kids. Natalia was always good friends with her. Everyone liked her. Her mother left them when she cheated on James with his brother. I remember how he was so broken for years then one day he changed.

  He vowed to never love again and that’s why he only messes around with the pack sluts. Of course, the women always hope that he’ll claim them. He never does and never will. His little girl was his whole life and now she’s gone.

  My father and I stood at the front of James in my office. He furrowed his eyebrows, squinting his eyes. “James you should sit.”

  I knew this was going to be bad.

  “We have some bad news. Do you know where your daughter ran off to?” My father hesitated before taking a step forward.

  “She said she found her mate. I don’t understand.” He had no idea that his only daughter was gone.

  “We found a body at the territory border, and we have reason to believe it’s your daughter.” I softly spoke cautiously, careful not to upset him too much.

  “No,” His knees buckled, and he fell to his knees. “It’s not true! Please tell me she’s not the one you found.”

  He struggled to find his voice as he clenched his fists pounding them on the floor. My father and I looked away not wanting to see the pain he was going through. Feeling his pain was hard enough.

  “James.” I wished there was something we could do. “We need you to identify her to make sure it’s her.”

  “Okay.” He pulled himself to his feet. I could smell the anxiety radiating off him as we neared the infirmary. I opened the door and smelled the rotting flesh as we walked through the door.

  I stood there and grabbed the edge of the sheet. I slowly pulled it down revealing her pale face and he cupped her cheeks kissing her forehead. Tears poured out and fell on her as he cried for the only thing he had left to love in his life.

  He convulsed as he ran his hands through her hair. He was starting to lose it little by little.

  “No! You’ll be okay.” He shook her lifeless body. “Wake up, sweetheart!”

  His golden eyes glowered and his body shook. “Open your fucking eyes!”

  Her limp body shook as he tried to make her wake up.

  He was in denial that she was dead, and I knew what we were going to have to do. We were going to have to sedate him or he was going to lose it and possibly shift in here. I don’t want him shifting and then going on a rampage with women and children under this roof. If he was going to shift, he needed to do that outside.

  “James, go shift.” He looked up and shook his head.

  “I can’t leave her! She can’t leave me!” He looked up with red-rimmed eyes and shook harder and lowered his gaze to her.

  I cocked my head to the side and glanced at my father. He nodded his head to me and I looked up to Cole nodding for him to inject him. He needed rest right now. It was too much for him. My father and I stood on each side of him. We were getting ready for Cole to do what he was commanded to do.

  I watched as he punctured his neck, and I apologized to him as his body leaned on my father feeling dizzy and disoriented. I grabbed his arm and put it around my shoulder, as did my father with the other one. “I’m sorry James.”

  My father struggled up the stairs and finally made it to the top dragging him to my office. I kicked the door open and walked towards the sofa gently laying him down. I didn’t want to have to sedate him, but I feared he might do something to bring harm to himself.

  I walked to my desk and sat down holding my head in my hands. It just doesn’t make any sense. Why would vampires attack and why now? My head was pounding and I tried to think about why this would happen. The more I thought about it made the pounding worse.

  “Jaxson.” My father’s voice interrupted my thoughts.

  “What?” I gritted out through my teeth.

  “There hasn’t been a vampire around here for years.” He stood next to the sofa looking at his beta.

  “What are you trying to say?” I’m confused about why he would say that.

  “I don’t think this was a vampire.” My head snapped up to meet his face.

  “Vampires aren’t the only ones with sharp teeth,” I whispered to myself.

  I knew when I said that who was responsible for this. He staged this whole thing, but why? I rubbed my temples and my father put both his hands on my shoulders slightly squeezing.

  “Son, go rest. You can’t figure anything out when you're exhausted. I’ll work on this with Cole and you can go see your mate.”

  I nodded knowing if anyone could ease my head it would be Lana. I walked upstairs and stepped in to look at Lana reading to Gabriel. My heart warmed at the sight of her holding my son. She’s also carrying your child you fool. I heard my wolf purr giddy with excitement. She looked down at him and he had fallen asleep in her arms. She looked up at me and closed the book. I took the book from her and placed it on the nightstand.

  She rose and placed him in his bed gently covering him up. I brought her back to my chest and wrapped my arms around her waist. I found comfort in her as I smelled her scent.

  My throbbing headache subsided as I kissed her neck.

  “Jaxson. Not here.” She moaned, melting under my touch.

  She twisted around wrapping her arms around my neck. She looked at me worriedly as she studied my face. “What’s happened?”

  “My father’s beta, we found his daughter at the border. Dead.”

  “Oh my god.” She traced my arm as she kissed my lips. “You need to unwind baby?”

  I walked back to the bed leading her, and fall back on the bed pulling her on top of me. I know my father told me I needed to rest, but I couldn’t sleep if my life depended on it. There’s only one thing that would relax me. Her sweet lips on mine. I needed her to relax me with that sweet pussy.

  CHAPTER 20

  Lana

  I fall on his hard body; feeling all sorts of emotions run through my body as he hit the mattress. My trembling fingers fisted his hair as my lips found his neck sucking on his skin. Nothing but pure desire and need in the air as we intertwined our souls to one another.

  He was mine.

  I was his.

  “Lana,” He gripped my ass pushing me more into his groin. “you feel what you do to me.”

  He growled as I ground my hips. I continued my attack on his neck as I ripped open his shirt making buttons fly. My fingers brushed his hot skin making me want him even more. I was his mate, and I knew exactly how and where to touch him. I knew what drove his wolf crazy wanting more. I worked my way to his lips colliding our lips together.

  I knew he should be resting, but if he wanted to rest
this way then ok. I’ll let him have this if it’s the only way he’ll relax. He is a stubborn alpha after all. If he wants me, he’ll have me one way or another.

  “Jax, I want you.” A feeling I had never felt came over me. It was a feeling of my wolf wanted to claim my mate. She wanted him to submit to her taking complete control over his body.

  In one swift motion, my hands fumbled with his zipper and wrapped my fingers around his granite length. He hiked my skirt up and ripped the lace underneath. He shoved me down and powerfully plunged deep inside me.

  “Oh!” I pressed my hand to his chest, riding him deep and hard. I met his thrusts halfway rolling my hips as his fingers dig in my skin.

  His thrusts became sloppier and harder.

  My breathing was ragged and I could feel myself clamp down on him. My body shook in pleasure as he forced me down on him harder. His hot load shot deep inside as I rode out my orgasm. He convulsed as my legs shook with each stream shooting out.

  It’s been an hour since he left to tend to business. His father’s beta was having a hard time with reality. He didn’t want to believe his daughter was gone.

  There are five stages of accepting death. The first one is denial where you don’t want to believe it’s true. The second one is anger where you want to rip everyone and everything apart. The third one is bargaining where you think if only done something then maybe she’d be here. The fourth one is depression, where nothing matters anymore. The final stage is acceptance where you finally accept that the person isn’t coming back.

  I stepped in the kitchen with Gabriel in my arms. I spotted the bitch that had me cornered when I first arrived. She was ordered to leave me alone by Jaxson, but that didn’t mean she would listen. I eyed Natalia and handed Gabriel to her, telling her to get away because shit was going to go down.

  I could feel my anger taking over, and she rolled her eyes at me. I stormed to her and wrapped my fingers around her throat. She gasped for air as I shoved her to the wall. I glowered my eyes. “He is mine and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

  I released her, dropping her to the floor and she hissed. “He’ll come around. They always do.”
