Hybrid Empire: Werewolf Fantasy, Love, Pain & Sacrifice (Book1)

by Zella

  I guess they have to go now, we actually need to talk about the oracle really quick because Lucas and Eros have other responsibilities that they need to do.

  They need to leave Luna Canidae today for some diiplomatic issues between the West continent and the East continent and he needs to step up being the Alpha of the strongest continent.

  "I need to go now Cass, do you have any plans today?" Lucas asked as he look at me.

  I nod "Yup, I plan to go and see Mr Jackson. I need to pay my respects to him and then after that, Misty and I plans to go to Luna Canidae Supemart to look for that Garden Cafe again" I said and then I smiled at Lucas.

  "I know its already not there but I still need to go and see hints that could help us in finding the real Cardinal and the oracle. Who knows, the oracle might show herself to me again" I said.

  Lucas sighed "Do you really have to do this Cass, I mean I will be out of Luna Canidae and the Rebels may target you again" Lucas said as he shows his concern.

  I smiled and stood up to kiss him, as he respond back to my kiss, Yvan coughed "We're still here *cough*cough* do it in private *cough*cough*" Yvan coughed making me laugh.

  "I can't just sit here and watch you do all the work Lucas, I'm your mate anyway" I said and caressed his cheeks.

  Lucas nod after saying that "Just take good care of yourselves and don't get out of the boundary" Lucas said as he kiss my forehead.

  "I'll be back" He whispered and left.

  I looked at Eros and then he also nod at me and left to follow Lucas.

  As Lucas and Eros leave, Yvan also stood up "I also need to go now, the Zetas are waiting, fortunately they caught some groups of rebels lurking around a village of human civillians" Yvan said and stood up.

  "Really?" Then you have to go now" I said.

  "I am and oh by the way, Lucas already changed your security teams and your personal guard" Yvan said.

  "Your personal guard may not be like Mr Jackson but rest assured that you will like your new guard. Lucas wants me to tell you that since he doesn't want to brought up Mr Jackson's name to you because just like you he's also mourning for Mr Jackson's death" Yvan said.

  "Eros and I was the one who chose your new personal guard but Lucas personally chose your security. Don't worry their not spies planted by him," Yvan said as he smile. He tapped my head and ruined my hair and then he left.

  "Gotta go" He said.

  I sighed, I guess its not only me whose struggling because of Mr Jackson's death. Lucas was actually with Mr Jackson for a long time and who knows, maybe Mr Jackson was already there when Lucas was born so yeah, it could have been really difficult for Lucas when Mr Jackson died.

  For the second time, I sighed and then I felt my phone vibrate.

  I immediately got my phone and saw Misty's name on the screen.

  "Yow Mist" I said.

  "Where the hell are you Cass? I'm already outside your house, are you not done yet?' Misty said.

  "Yeah we just got finished, am on my way right now" I said and stood up, got my hand bag and ran to not make Misty wait.

  She's a little impatient in terms of waiting, that's why.

  As I get out of the house, I immediately saw Misty with her guards and she's stomping her feet and I know that she's currently cursing me in her mind for having to make her wait for just a minute.

  "Just why the hell are you so late, what the hell have you been doing after talking with the Alpha" Misty said scolding me for being late for just a minute. I rolled my eyes.

  "Acting exaggerated again? Its just a minute Mist, come on give me a break" I said as I look at her guards.

  "Mist, should I go without my guards?" I asked Misty as I look at her but after saying that, she immeditaely pulled my hair to teach me a lesson and to not say that again.

  "Are you crazy! Do you want to repeat what happened to you that time!! Do you intend of doing a freaking suicide?!" Misty said screaming and scolding me.

  I rolled my eyes as I give her an annoyed gaze "Hey don't forget that I'm still higher than you, this is obviously insubordination Beta's mate" I said teaching her the essence of hierarchy.

  She also rolled her eyes on me showing me her sass and then she pointed at the security team waiting for me and an unfamilliar car with a guy standing getting ready to open the door for me.

  "That's your security team madame, they are your new security team one while two and three is as usual monitoring you in the shadows and that handsome gentlemen over there is your new personal guard" Misty said as she sigh.

  "He's Mr Jackson's replacement to be exact" Misty said as she walk towards her car.

  "You have to get used to it Cass, Mr Jackson's no longer here but accepting the truth that he's already dead will definitely make him smile. remember Cass that Mr Jackson never want to stress you nor depress you and ones he knew that you are stressed and emotionally suffering because of him? He wouldn't like it" Misty said and smiled.

  "Hop in Cass, my car will follow yours" Misty said and hopped in her car.

  I sighed and looked at the tall guy whose waiting for me and behind it is my new security team one. Some of the members of my security team one are still there but some are not already there and was replaced by new members.

  It could be that those replaced guards we're spies from the Rebellion Empire or we're killed by the rebellion empire.

  I sighed and walked towards the new car with the new guard.

  "Sorry for making you wait" I said as I smile to him. He smiled back to me "Its okay madame" He said and opened the door for me.

  I smiled and hopped in as he goes to the driver's seat to drive for me.

  As soon as he hopped in, he got his gadget and communicated with the security team, "Security team one and two, get ready, VIP and security team one will now move" He said and started the engine.

  I looked at him, unlike Mr Jackson, he is too young like as if we're of the same age.

  "So what's your name?" I asked as I look at his back.

  "My name is Devon madame" He said as he look at me using the rear mirror just like what Mr Jackson always does.

  I nod "Devon, what a nice name, nice to meet you Devon" I said.

  Devon smiled "Its a pleasure to meet you madame" He answered and didn't talk again, unlike Mr Jackson who is so chatty and friendly, this one is so reserved and doesn't even talk a lot.

  Yvan and Eros really chose a guard who is so different from Mr Jackson, I sighed "So I heard that the Beta and the Delta personally chose you as the mate's guard? How are you chosen?" I asked as I start a conversation with him

  "I--" Devon started and paused for a while.

  "Actually madame, I'm also a human just like you and I am the most promising and elite member of the army that serves the Hybrid Empire" Devon said shocking me and making my eyes grow wide "Wait what? Y-you're a human?!" I asked.

  Chapter 24

  Granny's Pandora's Box

  "My name is Devon madame" He said as he look at me using the rear mirror just like what Mr Jackson always does when speaks with me.

  I nod "Devon, what a nice name, its nice to meet you Devon" I said as I smile at him.

  Devon smiled "Its a pleasure to meet you and serve you madame" He answered and didn't talk again, unlike Mr Jackson who is so chatty and friendly, this one is so reserved and doesn't even talk a lot.

  Yvan and Eros really chose a guard who is so different from Mr Jackson, I sighed "So I heard that the Beta and the Delta personally chose you as the mate's guard? How are you chosen anyway?" I asked as I start a conversation with him

  "I--" Devon started and paused for a while.

  "Actually madame, I'm also a human just like you" Devon said and paused for a second.

  "I was chosen as your personal guard because I am the most promising and elite member of the army that serves the Hybrid Empire" Devon said shocking me and making my eyes grow wide "Wait what? Y-you're a human?!" I asked.

  "How are you chosen, I mean I'm not disre
specting your being as a human since I'm also a human its just that its too rare to have a human as a guard of the Hybrid Empire" I said.

  "Don't worry madame, they didn't chose me because you're a human, they chose me because of my skills. I can definitely protect you just like how other hybrids does. I am good at swordmanship, manipulating the gun and combat that's why they chose me as the mate's personal guard madame" Devon said explaining the reason why they chose him even though he's a human.

  "W-well, its not really a big deal to me whether you're a human or a hybrid, its just fascinating that Eros and Yvan chose a human as my guard" I said and looked at him.

  "But I hope that we get along well and be loyal to us until the end" I said as I smile at him.

  "Don't worry madame, my sole purpose is to protect you and to be loyal to you" He said as he continued driving, I nodded.

  "That's good to hear then Devon" I said and leaned backwards as I stare outside the car window.

  A human guard? They really chose someone who is very different from Mr Jackson to prevent me from remembering Mr Jackson.

  I sighed and closed my eyes to rest for a while and let Devon drive.

  After a couple of minutes of napping, I felt the engine stop and then I herad Devon's voice.

  "We're here madame" Devon said as I open my eyes, I looked outside and he's right, we're already in the cementery where Mr Jackson was buried.

  Devon hurriedly got out of the car to open my car door, I smiled as he open the car door.

  "Thanks Devon, Misty and I can go alone. You can guard the perimeter" I said and walked toward Mr Jackson's grave while Misty is behind me, tears fell from my eyes as I put down a white rose for him. I looked at his name printed in gold, I smiled, he deserves it anyway. Mr Jackson spent all of his life to serve the Hybrids to the point that he never had a family nor children who will visit his grave.

  "You did great Mr Jackson, you will never be forgotten" I said as I remember my time and moment with him. He was so loyal that even in his last breath, he did everything to protect me.

  "Cass look it seems like someone has been visting Mr Jackson" Misty said as she look at some foot steps beside the cemented grave of Mr Jackson.

  The footsteps are very obvious because it was covered with mud like as if the one who recently visited Mr Jackson's grave was from the forest or from the farm. "What's with this?" I asked.

  "I thought he doesn't have a family? You told me no family members came in his funeral" I asked Misty

  "I thought so too, I mean they said he doesn't have one but it seems like he has" Misty said.

  "Or maybe this person who visited Mr Jackson was not really that close to him" Misty said as I raise my eye brows.

  "What do you mean?" I asked.

  "Well he didn't even bring a rose for Mr Jackson" Misty added as she stare at the foot steps that is eventually leading to the forest not so far from the cementry. I chuckled hearing Misty's logic, well its partly and somehow convincing in some sense.

  "But if a person is not really close to you, you wouldn't really mind to visit their graves because they're not important to you anyway, so why visit in the first place?" I said as I argue with Misty.

  "I'm just stating what I would do" I added as I smack my lips. I just find my situation with Misty, I always argue with her in terms of views and that's really funny.

  For a while, Misty thought about what she said and then she glared ate me. "You really find it funny when you disagree with me don't you?" Misty said as she glare at me.

  "But thinking about it" Misty added.

  "You're actually right because I would also do the same" Misty said as we both stare at the footsteps like as if its some sort of a puzzle and code that is so hard to decipher.

  I shrugged and stared at the forest near us, its also fascinating to see a forest near a cementry because the wind is stronger and it feels a little refreshing when someone visits.

  As I stare at one of the trees in the forest, I suddenly raise my eyebrows. I don't know if I'm seeing it right but I can actually see a person in one of the trees.

  I tried to focus my eyes to that certain tree and then I suddenly got goose bumps as I recognize the person behind the tree and then from that moment on I got terrified when I get to recognize who that person is. That person is probably one of the people I'm most scared of and one the people that I don't want to see ever again in my freaking life.

  "Misty!" I said in a very terrified voice as I held on to her.

  "Hey what's wrong Cass?" Misty asked as she tap my back, she must have figured out that I'm scared. "What happened Cass? Is there something wrong?" Misty asked with all concern in her voice.

  "Its Rex, the Rebels are here! Rex is in the forest!" I screamed as I stare at Rex who is staring at me while hiding his body behind the tree.

  "Devon!!!" I shouted with all fear in my voice as our security teams run towards us to of course protect us and figure out the situation.

  Devon and Misty's personal guard immediately came in to our aid and got their gadgets to communicate with the other security teams.

  Devon immediately commanded our security teams two and three to search and secure the area while our primary teams stayed to protect me and Misty.

  As Devon carefully and meticulously command the security teams, I stared at Rex while feeling terrified, as the security teams move to secure the area, I saw Rex transform into his wolf body form, that wolf freaking body form that killed Mr Jackson.

  After transforming, he immediately ran away to not be caught by the security teams.

  "D-devon he's running away" I said as I point at him. "He's behind that tree right now" I said as I shiver because I can't controol my self from feeling terrified.

  "Don't worry madame, the Rebels can't hurt you because it seems like he came here alone. We can't locate other Rebels in the area, he's alone madame" Devon said wearing an earpiece in his right ear.

  "Alone? Wait why would the Serafin's right hand man come here alone and to think that he's not with Serafin is a little confusing" Misty said, I nodded as I agree with Misty.

  Rex is like literally Serafin's right hand. He can't move without Rex.

  "Could it be that he's stalking or monitoring you and had Rex to tail you?" Misty said as she share her hypothesis with me.

  I shook my head "Serafin can't do that" I said.

  "If he wants to tail me, he wouldn't send Rex to monitor me and instead of sending Rex, he will just send a normal Rebel to have me monitored and not Rex because Rex is like his hands and feet" I said.

  Being Serafin's puppet Queen for how many months, I got to learn some of his weaknesses and I know that Rex is the person he trust the most and the person that he depends in terms of security.

  Rex is very important to Serafin that he can't gamble Rex's life just to tail me" I added as I look at Misty.

  "You know too well Misty that tailing a member of the Hybrid Empire is like putting yourself in danger. Especially that our security is raised to security VIP. It will be really hard to have us tailed" I said.

  "Then what the hell is that Rex doing here? Does he own these foot prints and if he does, why in the freaking hell would he even bother to visit Mr Jackson's grave" Misty asked.

  "I don't know"I said as I stare at the foot print.

  I don't know and its so frustrating not to know, why would Rex even visit the person that he killed?

  I was also with the Rebels and I also had Rex to guard me. I know that these foot prints are his but the question is why is he here?

  ..................................................

  I stretched my shoulders as I hop in the car, after Misty and I visit Mr Jackson's grave, Misty and I immediately went to the mall to see if some traces of Garden cafe we're left behind or if there are traces of Lucy in the mall but we saw nothing and got nothing.

  I looked at Devon who worked the hardest this day for making the security tight.

  "Thanks for your hardwor
k today Devon" I said.

  "Its my duty and responsibility madame" Devon said as he drive.

  I smiled and gave him one of my energy drinks that I bought earlier "Here, you should have some, you worked hard today" I said and left it beside him.

  "Thank you madame, I will drink this later after we arrive in the Hybrid mansion" Devon said, I nod and leaned my head to the car window as I look outside.

  I just wonder, how is granny doing today?

  I immediately called for Devon's attention after remembering granny. I suddenly want to spend the night with Granny.

  "Devon, make a u-turn right now and go to my guardian's house. I'll spend the night there" I said, Devon didn't hesitate to do what I want him to do and didn't ask any further questions and immediately made a u turn.

  "As you wish madame" He said as he continued driving.

  I got my phone and called for Misty, she must be wondering right now why we suddenly made a u turn when her car is following ours.

  "Hey Cass what's wrong? What's with the sudden change of route?" Misty asked as soon as she picked up the call.

  "Mist, I guess you'll have to go to the mansion alone. I'll be spending the night to granny's house" I said.

  "Suddenly? You're not going home? Why?" Misty asked.

  "Well" I said.

  "Lucas won't come home anyway, I'll just be alone there. Gotta go Mist, I also miss Granny that's why" I said and ended up the call.

  After I end the call with Misty, Devon immediately got his gadget, maybe to give instruction to the security teams.

  After he agve his instructions, he spoke to me.

  "Security teams two and three are still following us madame" Devon stated.

  I nodded, I actually just want securities two and three to go home since I know that their also tired and I know that there's not enough room in granny's house but I know that Devon can't do that and can't allow that.

  "Will security one, two and three fit in granny's house?" I asked my self, more like this is an innuendo for Devon that I want security teams two and three to just go home and rest.
