Hudson stared at the girl that was standing in front of him with confusion.
“Who’s this?” He asked as he pointed at her.
“This is Vita, she’s a witch and she’s helping us get Amanda back,” Ruby told him.
Hudson was still confused by the comment she made about Amanda.
“Okay, what powers are you talking about? Amanda is human. She doesn’t smell like a witch.”
“Actually, she’s a hybrid. Part wolf, part witch,” Vita explained.
Hudson started to shake his head and back away as his anger started to grow. “No, you’re wrong. I would have sensed it. I need to prepare the pack and talk with the surrounding packs to prepare for war.”
“Hudson,” Ruby said softly. “We did a spell, we found out who were her parents. She’s my niece. She’s Lily and Bobby’s girl.” She finished as the tears started to threaten to fall again.
Hudson let out a breath and ran his hands through his hair.
“But if that’s true…then why couldn’t I…I should have been able…” He tried to formulate how he truly felt but he was confused and frustrated. If she was a wolf how come he couldn’t sense it? After all, she was his mate. He of all people should have been able to tell. But he couldn’t.
“So, what do we do?” He asked hopelessly.
“Let your pack get ready for the war, you come with us. I know where Amanda is,” Vita told him.
Marco and Tab walked up behind Hudson
“Go, we’ll talk with other packs and gather as many warriors as we can, if there’s going to be a war, we’ll be ready for it,” Marco told him.
Hudson nodded.
He turned and looked at the girl. He was hesitant to trust someone new, but if Ruby and Zachary could vouch for fo there then he might as well. Plus, if she could really lead him to where his Amanda was, then he was ready to follow.
“Alright, let’s go get Amanda,” Hudson told her.
Deak slowly started to wake up. His arms were feeling heavy, and his head was still in a fog as he opened his eyes to see where he was.
“Welcome back.” He heard a familiar voice say to him.
He lifted his head and looked to his right and saw his little friend.
“Small girl,” His shoulders dropped. “How did they…?”
“Kimmy,” How she said.
“Kimmy?” He was confused. The annoying tall girl that would hang around his small girl.
“She’s mated to your Uncle,” She told him.
Deak cringed.
She laughed, “That’s how I felt.”
There was a pause before she spoke again, “Deak?”
“Yeah.”
“Did you know?”
His head was still killing him as he was trying to get his bearings on the situation and actually make sense of what was going on.
“What?”
“Hat you’re my cousin, that I’m a wolf and a witch, oh and Ruby’s my aunt. Take your pick,” She sighed.
Deak’s eyes widened.
That was a lot of information to take in at one time.
“Oh, and you’re Uncle wants to invoke my powers so he can suck me dry and be the most powerful supernatural being and be indestructible,” she huffed.
And here’s the clincher.
Deak closed his eyes and shook his head.
“Small girl, I had a feeling you could be something. But honestly didn’t know about all this. My thoughts were witch from the family. I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry, you didn’t do this.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t protect you as I had hoped to. I never meant any of this for you.”
Amanda sucked in a breath and let it out.
“He’s trying to use Hudson, to get me to channel my wolf and powers.”
“We must try before he does that,” Deak informed her.
“Well do you have any great ideas? Cause I’ve tried everything I could to wake it up and so far I’ve got nothing,” She told him.
“Feisty.”
“What do you expect? I’ve been given more information than a normal person could handle about myself, and I’m tired of being treated like an object for everyone to handle. I just wanted to be a normal girl that went to College and experienced normal everyday girl stuff. But NOOOOOO, I have to be a teenage hybrid that’s mated to an Alpha and the Lycan King wants my blood so that he can rule over EVERYONE!!!!” She cried as her anger raged inside of her. She shut her eyes and a plant in the corner burst into flames.
Amanda opened her eyes and felt the relief seep away. She was breathing heavily but felt a hell of a lot better.
“What was that?” A guard came in to check on them.
“No clue,” Deak said with a shrug. But he was straight in amazement at his small girl.
The guard ran over to the plant to extinguish it before the fire caught on something else.
“Feel better?” Deak asked in a whispered tone.
Amanda let out a breath, “Actually, yeah that felt great.”
“Good, well there was your start. Your powers are tied to your emotions. Work with that. And I’ll figure out how to get us out of here,” He told her.
The guard came over and checked their bounds, and they were still secure. The guard walked out and back to his post.
In another room, Fabian Kirralee (Lykan King) was watching them on a monitor and smiled.
“You see my queen when the cats are away the mice will play. It won’t be long before I’ll be the king of all of this, and you’ll be my queen right beside me.” He purred into her ear.
Kimmy smiled as she curled into a ball on her mate’s lap. She enjoyed his attention on her.
“Why can’t we just kill her now?” Kimmy said with a pout.
He tapped her nose gently, “Cause the more powerful she becomes, the more I will be able to obtain when I kill her.”
“I’m going to enjoy watching you drain her, I’m tired of her being the center of everyone’s attention,” Kimmy huffed.
“Is my pet, jealous? You don’t need to be.” He says as he grabs her hair and yanks her head back.
She let out a yelp and then moaned.
Fabian nuzzled his mate’s neck, he licked at the mark he gave her just a few nights ago, marking her as his and completing the bond between them.
Kimmy let out another moan.
When she looked back at the screen she noticed something. Deak stares straight into the camera as if he could see them. He had an evil grin on his face as he continued to stare at her.
Kimmy let out a shiver.
Fabian leaned back to look at his mate.
“What’s wrong my pet?”
“Your nephew, he’s staring at us.” She said with a nod toward the screen,
Fabian looked at the screen and watched.
“What’s going on, in that little head of your nephew?”
Fabian noticed something, he pushed his mate off his lap and headed to the room they had been left in.
“GUARDS!!” He yelled when he came into the empty room.
Mated to my Bully
