Hybrid?” Sarian asks, sounding confused.I nod. “I’ve only found one book with the information, but the traits listed are exactly what belongs to a Hybrid. A perfect match between vampire, and lycan. And believe me, they were dead on with the effects of his venom.” I shudder. “Fortunately there are no further effects.”“Can you show me the book?” He asks.I close my book as I nod. I pull the requested book out of my small pile and hand it to him. “Page fifteen.” I say as I go back to reading.“Isaac , you are aware where Mike bit you?” Sarian asks, worry going through him as he keeps reading.“Yep,” I say, letting my ‘p’ pop, not looking up.“So are you aware that protecting you has just become more important than ever?” He asks.“Are you protecting me, or are ordering me?” I ask, looking up with a serious glance on my face.His face is torn as he is trying to figure out how to phrase his answer. “Honey, I’m going to be honest with you. The options are always difficult with you, no m

“Ha ha,” I deadpan while my fathers chuckle.“Where was she found?” Charliean asks.“The Aullirian Library.” Sarian answers. “Doing research on Mike .”“Well?” Avanja asks impatiently. “What did you find out?”I force a firm voice, though I hate talking through magic channels. “Mike is actually a Hybrid.”Every single royal’s face pales, except for the trio behind me. “Yep, half vampire and half lycan. He originates from one of the packs that the Sunmoon slaughtered. He and his mother are the only recorded survivors. All the victims belong to the omegas that were dispersed from that pack. The fact that they were all high on the totem pole is what is astonishing.”“It’s an unlikely coincidence,” Lavar agrees, his face pale. “Why can’t I remember his name?”Isabow is confused too. “It’s familiar, but I can’t recall it.”“Well the mother is Elaine Moon and Mike Moon is the one doing all of this. They were sent to live with Miyla in the Cripson Mountains.”“Elaine?” Isabow asks, her eye

“Maybe for a bit of fun.” I say as I grin, his jaw dropping again when he hears the bell tone in my voice. “Careful, it’s the Siren effect of my ancestors. It’s especially effective on males. Stay out of the water.” I warn, noticing he’s about to set foot in it. “When you get wet, the effect gets stronger.” After he jumps and takes a step back I laugh. “Also, it was my turn to show you something new.”“Get out of there so I can talk to you.” Silas says as he partially covers his ears.I let out a full laugh. “I’m not wearing clothes under here.”His face goes red, and he immediately turns around. “Please come out Isaac .”“It’d be easier if I had dried clothes. I’ll beat you back to the castle.” I look up and see Wilson looking down with annoyance. “Do you want to be nice and give him a lift?”Wilson lets out a loud roar before leaping from the cliff. I watch as she pops up from the water and starts swimming towards the beach. “Wilson will give you a lift. Some advice, she likes chin

“I never gave you my name,” I tell her as her face morphs to a slender face with ocher eyes and sea glass colored hair. She stares at me with blank eyes as her body begins to break down into dust, confirming that this is a created feral. That book wasn’t lying, and she was trying to isolate me. That can only mean one thing, and that is to run.I whistle loudly when that realization hits me. I get to my feet as a sense of impending doom starts creeping in. I strap my blade to my thigh as I look at the corpses of the dead ferals; giving further evidence that they were born and not created.I swing onto Wilson. “Yole,” I say as I double tap her leg. I feel her legs slip slightly as she tries to gain traction on the ground. My signal is for her to not stop, no matter what. She knows there is danger when I do this, so she lets out a massive roar, making birds fly out of the trees, calling for her brothers and sisters.Only ten minutes into our run, I hear a dark chuckling. “There is my litt

“That should have been my first warning.” Ronan admits. “Mike was about to make us into balham chow if it wasn’t for Leo. He distracted him enough for us to get away on Lubo. Lubo managed to swing back and get Leo once he got us to a safe distance. If Mike wasn’t recovering from some stab wounds, we’d be dead.”“You’re welcome then.” I wince. “His bites are painful.”“Yes, yes they are.” Leo says, sitting up. “And you two are welcome for the save. Also thank Isaac . She’s the one that told me to go get you idiots.”“You’re lucky you only got one.”“Why yes they are.” Vanna cuts in, walking into the room with a grin on her face. “Tell them where he bit you.”“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” I say as I motion towards the bite mark on my neck and shoulder, while giving her wide and pointed eyes.She flashes me a grin as a man with raven colored hair walks in. It flows in thick waves to the ends of his shoulder. He’s chosen the traditional avian stance of not wearing a shirt, which I’m not rea
