Alec’s

"I'm going to set you down so I can deal with them, okay?" Alec whispers in my ear. "It's only going to take a moment."

Before I can protest, he sets me against a tree before turning to the two snarling hybrids. Alec is overconfident, thinking hybrids are easy to kill. Has he seriously forgotten all I have told him about them? All that the elders told him?"

He snarls back, and I immediately feel Knox's presence. I sit up, but I accidentally scrape my shoulder against the tree's back. It hurts like a mother. I grit my teeth, refusing to let my whimper escape in the presence of enemies.

"Nyx, have you informed them?" I ask her, not taking my eyes off the three men who were circling each other.

Two against one. That doesn't seem fair at all.

"Yes. They are a couple of minutes away," she answers, her attention also on them.

"How far is a couple of minutes?"

"Around thirty or so."

"Fuck. That's a lot of time."

"Both Alec and Knox are overconfident. They've never dealt with hybrids, yet they assume it's as easy as taking down a rogue."

She voices what I'd already concluded. Sure, he is an alpha, but hybrids are a different species all together. They have a combination of wolf and vampire powers, and that tramps being just a wolf.

I watch as they fight. Alec is strong, but they are stronger. I am not being mean or anything, just stating facts.

His claws slice through the blond hybrid. He's skinnier than his friend. He whimpers and then looks at his partner, seemingly surprised that Alec had landed a blow. I bet he was promised that he'd be invincible when he was turned. What a fucking idiot.

It's then I realize something. He's a newbie, recently turned. He probably hasn't mastered all his abilities. The way he turned to the bulky guy shows that he's seeking guidance on what to do.

"You must act fast, Alec," I mind-link him. "End him now while he's still surprised."

Alec stiffens before twisting his head to look at me.

"Do it now!" I scream via the link. "Cut off his head; that's the only sure bet to kill them."

This seems to move him. Before the blondie can recover from his shock, Alec pounces. He half shifts, and his large claws slice through his neck, severing tendons as if they were nothing but butter. His head falls to the ground. His body follows next. Even from a distance, I can clearly see his wide eyes staring at the sky, shock permanently etched on them.

The bulky man releases a roar before he starts his attack on Alec. The other one was easy to kill because he was a newbie. This one, though, from his movements, I can already tell that he won't be easy to kill because he's been a hybrid for some time. He has mastered his abilities and knows how to use them. Luckily, I have some new powers.

He attacks Alec with intensity, both of them refusing to yield to the other. Punch after punch, kick after kick, they attack each other with a viciousness that surprised me.

The hybrid gains an advantage and swipes his hand, clawing Alec in the abdomen. He releases a roar and stumbles back a bit.

I struggle to stand up, leaning against the tree, using it to support my weight.

"Nyx, take over and do something," I tell her weakly.

She doesn't waste time. Just when the hybrid was about to probably land a fatal blow, Nyx lashes out, sending him flying. He hits a tree.

He recovers quickly and charges towards us.

"Enough," her voice is full of authority and power.

Both the hybrid and Alec freeze on their spot. Their knees buckle before they both fall to their knees.

"Come to me."

He tries to fight against the

command, but he eventually

succumbs to it. He may be a hybrid,

but he is half wolf. His wolf

counterpart will always submit to

someone stronger than him.

His jaw is locked as he stands up and walks towards me while we release Alec from our hold.

"Who sent you?" I ask him.

He looks at me with a look of defiance and hate. I don't know the bastard, so I don't know why he hates me. Maybe it's because I've been killing his kind.

"I asked who fucking sent you!" I snarl before hitting him.

His head swivels to the side at the impact.

"You killed my cousin last year," he informs me, his red eyes glaring at me.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Huh. So he was after revenge.

"Which cousin? You have to be more specific, since I killed a lot of your kind," I wave my hand dismissively.

"You fucking bitch!" he tries to come at me, but my power is holding him down.

"I've been called worse."

He starts laughing, the sound mocking. His laugh grows by the second until he is now full-blown laughing.

She's coming for you,” he states, a sinister smile forming on his lips "And when she does, I hope she rips you from limb to limb, slowly, before she tears your fucking heart" en.swhovels.net

He doesn't get to finish before I rip out his throat, cutting off his voice. Blood spatters on me, but I don't fucking care. I look at Alec and he understand my silent

communication. Seconds later, the hybrid's head falls next to his body.
