Alpha Alec's Redemption

We can sense If a person is supernatural, but we can’t easily tell which species they are exactly

“We are banished,” I simply said, gauging his reaction.

He just shrugs like it’s nothing.

“It doesn’t bother you that we are banished?” Rave asked in disbelief.

“Not really. I’m a lone wolf, and I’ve met some pretty awesome people. I know that not everyone who’s been banished is evil. Unless you’re a rogue, then there may be some good in you.”

So he’s like me, a wolf. That’s almost comforting.

We were quiet for a moment as we let his words sink in. Raven uses the opportunity to chant some spells. Seconds later, I the wound on my writs heald. I sighed in tiredness as I began to crash from the adrenalin withdrawal.

“I’ve got to thank you for making my work easy, Sadie.” King interrupts the silence. “But with her kind, you have to sever their heads or they may just come back.”

Raven turns to me with a look of surprise. “Wait, you’re the one that did all that damage?”

I nodded my head as I run my shaking hand through my hair. “Yeah. She recognized me and wanted to take me back to him. I couldn’t let that happen.”

Her eyes turned soft in understanding. Yes, I got a good feeling about Kingsley, but I couldn’t fully trust him yet. He was still a stranger.

“What did you mean about her kind?” I turned to him. “I thought she was a vampire.”

“She isn’t. She’s a hybrid, and I’ve been hunting her for a few days now,” he answered.

“That’s impossible. Hybrids don’t exist. We can only procreate with our own species,” I rushed to say.

Sure, sex is possible between all four species, but not conception. A werewolf can’t conceive with any of the other species, and the same goes for the others. What he was saying was beyond impossible. It was in the realm of dreams.

“She’s a vampire-werewolf hybrid, so it’s possible, especially with the help of something really powerful,” King calmly answered.

My world is blown away by this news. No wonder she was really strong. I don’t even know how I defeated her if that’s the case.

“Dark magic,” Raven whispered.

“No.” he simply says. “This is something more powerful than dark magic. Yes, dark magic is strong. but the magic coursing through her is different. It’s powerful and ancient. Someone is turning people into hybrids, and they’ve been popping up everywhere. I don’t know if the council knows this yet, but something tells me that this is bigger than anything anyone can imagine.”

“What could be more powerful than dark magic? It’s the reason it’s forbidden because, apart from corrupting one’s soul, no one has ever been strong enough to contain it.”

Raven had a valid point. We were told stories of one or two witches who practiced dark magic. They ended up dead because their bodies were too weak to contain it. The powers ended up destroying them from the inside out until there was nothing left in them.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Look, it’s hard to explain it, but I just know. It’s why I’ve been hunting hybrids and killing them. Most of these hybrids are evil, but I also wanted to know what kind of magic is being used and, more importantly, why someone is turning them.”

Now more than ever, I needed to do something about my training. If King is right and going by how strong and vicious the woman was, then I needed to be able to defend me and my baby.

I sat there and listened to the crickets. Lost in my own thoughts, the question the dead hybrid asked continued to ring in my head.

What are you?

push the thought away, not really ready to probe into why two vampires asked me the same question after tasting my blood.

My focus now is on being able to protect those I love, and that means I have to accept that that may just include killing in order to survive.
