Rise of the Hybrid Princess

Chapter 5

Drake POV :

I could not believe it, I lost control of her like that. I never thought that I would go crazy about someone so bad.

It all started that night… We were on our way back after a night's party at the club in the city. Even though we mostly celebrated in the coven, we sometimes went out to have fun. We didn't intend to come across this place, as we are forbidden to enter here. Yes, we vampires are restricted to some areas where the werewolf's influence is higher and vice-versa. But somehow, on our way back, I took this way to reach home earlier. As we were passing near a dark alley, the scent hit me. And I stopped the vehicle.

Axel looked at me in confusion, he is my second in command.

"You wait here, I will be back soon. Don't step out unless I say okay…

"But Drake, .." He tried to protest as he sensed the faint wolf's smell

"It's an order…" I said in a serious tone. I had this gut feeling that something was not right. I could get the tempting scent along with some wolf's faint scent too. I followed them quickly. There I saw her getting slapped by a man. And another man was on the floor. Most she had attacked him somehow. She looked like a badass girl even in this critical situation. I was impressed with her. Then, I saw him raising his hands against her face. With my extraordinary speed, I reached there and threw him to the floor. I could feel that they were rogues, and I took them down in a matter of a minute.

Then I turned to her side. This time I saw her more clearly. She was beautiful like a full moon, with bright blue eyes, pointed nose and rosy lips… As I got close to her, I couldn't help but take a whiff of her… Mmmmhmmm… it's so addicting like I could not get enough of it… Her scent was driving me crazy… There was an unknown thirst which was built up in my body, like never before… I struggled to control my urges… But I couldn't handle it well, then I saw her face with an expression of shock. And I heard her mumble "Vampire!!" Then she fainted in my arms. s**t, my fangs came out as the urges were uncontrollable.

I could see that there were scratches on her body from which blood was slightly oozing out… That was the scent that was driving me crazy… She looks like a human, but her blood… smells different...too different from anything I have ever smelled. She smells like heaven, and I know if I start tasting her blood, there is no going back…

It was in the past when we used to drink blood from animals and even humans. But as we all move to the new lifestyle, we do business related to our survival. My Dad owns a hospital and we run a blood bank. So, we never have to hunt. Unlike in the past, we have solutions for walking in sunlight too. We have developed many other things that we could live among humans and others, like, normally.

I took the girl into the car. She was still unconscious. From her bag, I got the contact number of a bar, which was my friend's. There I came to know that she was a high school student, working as a waitress at night. They gave me her address and I told them to think about if it ever happened.

I took her to our hospital first. There, my Dad helped her to heal with the special medicine. He promised that there wouldn't be any marks by the next morning. She was still unconscious.

"Drake, come to my cabin…" Dad instructed…

I followed him, I knew something was off.

"Drake, where did you find her?? And who is she??" He asked in a serious tone.

"I found her in the dark alley being attacked by rogues…"I explained.

"You know that part is prohibited to us. Why did you go there in the first place ??" He started to get pissed.

"Sorry Dad, we were coming after a party and got confused…" I excused myself.

"Hm… I have something important to tell you… Did you feel anything special about her?? I tested her blood samples… She is different…"

"What do you mean different…?? There was an unknown urge to taste her blood, but it never happened with Axel though…"

"Hm… it never happened to others except you… I am not only talking about that… Her blood results show that she is not a human, but a hybrid...probably...otherwise I would have identified which category she belongs… The last hybrid born is our main enemy, the witch queen Sasha… after that, I haven't heard about another birth like this. Maybe she was hiding because of being threatened. What I found is that her blood is like magic. If anybody consumes it, they will be energetic and will heal any deep injuries… Her blood has that kind of special property… "

"What!! So she is a hybrid, but… she was not fighting them properly… maybe she's born out of weak parents or something…"

"That's not our concern. What is significant here is her safety… if somebody comes to know about this, her life is under threat. And if she falls into the hands of bad people, they will take advantage of her."

"So what do you suggest, father??"

" You must keep an eye on her. Until we find out who she is. And most importantly, if she could be useful to us in the upcoming war??"

"Dad, what are you saying??"

"Son, I am not planning to kill her and use her blood. I meant if her blood is this useful, she must be powerful. Her powers are hidden in some way. You must give a thorough investigation into her."

"Okay Dad, I will do that…"

I took her home and left from there like I was never there before. She was sleeping like a baby… I could smell a faint scent of a wolf in her home...I have used my scent maskers. So it won't be a problem."

With the influence I have, I joined her school as her teacher. But those plans are now backfiring as I can't control my urges.

Every time Aura comes near, I try hard to control myself. Her intoxicating scent was driving me crazy. I know I have to get close to her to know more about her. So I suggested the extra lab session and she agreed. But when I stepped inside the lab I saw her tripping, and before she fell to the floor I caught her in my arms. I could hear her heart beating so fast and her scent… Mmmm… it was making me do many things I never thought existed… I quickly moved away from her. And started teaching. She is a smartie and a quick learner. But like every time I went close to her, my urges went higher and higher…

All I wanted was one whiff of her…

One-touch… One embrace… Like that my wishes never ended.

And there I lost again… I was doing things which I shouldn't be doing and, to my surprise, she was reciprocating my actions… looks like I am not the only one affected. That is when I heard someone approaching the lab. With a quick movement, I reached the door and talked with the person as if nothing had happened. I could feel Aura looking at me in disbelief. I guess she must be thinking that it's her dream too. So again I had a narrow escape.

She was planning to go back to her home by walking as the bus was not available. Poor Aura, she doesn't have any idea about how dangerous it is. So I offered her a ride. Even though I knew her home address, I acted as per her instructions. And because of a small bunny, her body came close to mine again… thousands of sparks were erupting in my body… until she moved away from me. I dropped her off, and there she told me about her family briefly. Her father was dead, she only got her mother. As I remembered the faint wolf scent in her home that day, I guessed that her mom must be a wolf.

Then who is her father?? I have to find out...

Finding her roots seems as much as difficult as resisting her...!!
