Chapter 49
"Don't." I caution gently as I approach him. "I may be new to this whole mate thing, but I'm quite sure you guys don't hide secrets from each other." "In any kind of connection." As I stand in front of him, he sighs and runs his hand over his face. "Amanda, it's best if you don't know." "All you have to do is -" I take a step closer and encircle his waist with my arms. As he stares down at me, his forest green eyes are scared, and his features are rigid. He stays still for a few moments before wrapping his arms around my waist and crushing me against his body. He burys his nose in the curve of my neck then takes a big breath.
"I won't abandon you," I mutter softly as I reach up to kiss his lips. He vigorously shakes his head. "I'm sure you will." Amanda, I'm not who you believe I am. I'm a lot worse than that; I'm not a decent guy. "From what I've seen, you don't appear to be a nasty guy." Just tell me." I take a moment to quietly grin at him. "Now that I know you are a werewolf, I'll also accept your other secrets as well." "Promise not to abandon me," he says, sighing with satisfaction as I nod. "All right, I will tell you ...but let me hold you." "Why?" I look at him with a puzzled expression on my face. "Just come here," he says quietly, causing me to scowl before standing and walking over.
As he inhales deeply my aroma, he pulls me into his lap, straddling his waist with my arms crossed over my back. I wait for him to say anything as his grip tightens around my body. He eventually speaks out and reveal to me his secret after some minutes of cooling down. "Did I mention I'm a werewolf?" He inquires, and I puzzledly nod. "It wasn't entirely accurate." I'm merely a werewolf half-breed. I'm a hybrid, and half of me is a vampire." My mouth dropped open and I step back to gaze at him in disbelief, his green eyes peering into mine impatiently, as if expecting me to flee.
"Then you're like a cross between Richard and Jonah?" "Who the heck are they?" "It was a series I read once." "Richard is a werewolf, and Jonah is a vampire." He scoffs at me with his eyes gleaming with resentment. "Oh, that... I'm not just a vampire, I'm a hybrid." "Yeah, I liked Jacob a lot more." He was even hotter! " When his harsh snarl made my ears ring out from closeness, I freeze and cringe.
"You are my property; I must be the one and only man you must be thinking about!" Before nodding, I roll my eyes. But I'm really going to swoon over every attractive male star. He groans and falls back, taking me with him to lay my head on his chest, signaling for him to continue. I smile softly as he brushes my hair while he speaks, enjoying the sparks that flicker over my skin. "As you know, I'm a lycanthrope, which of course, means that unlike werewolves, I can change anytime I choose. But, unlike a typical wolf, I have two creatures instead of simply one.

“My dad was a werewolf, and my mom was a vampire.” Gabriel continues, “My brothers and I, as well as my father, are offspring of the first Lycanthropes. In the supernatural realm, I am considered as a monarch due to my bloodline. That is why, in comparison to other Alphas, I have such a big area. Although it was unlawful for the two organisms to mate at the time, they were deeply in love. They fled their kingdoms and relocated in a remote section of Spain, which was where I was born not long after. My father's pedigree was stronger, so they expected me to follow in his footsteps. Rather, with exception of my siblings, I got both the werewolf as well as vampire genes, as well as their associated abilities. "Are you indeed, the only one of your kind?" I lift my head to meet his gaze. "At the time, I happened to be the only one living." He nods before laying his head on my shoulder and gently massaging my back. "I'm now aware of a couple such hybrids." My dad had to enlist the help of witches to hide my and my mother's odors. We were in a werewolf-dominated area at the time, so they would have slaughtered us the moment they realized we were different. Vampires and werewolves used to be mortal foes. When I changed for the very first time when I was sixteen, news quickly spread that I was unusual, and that's when my bloodlust began. "Bloodlust? "Which doesn't appear to be a good idea." I mumble as I trace random designs on his shirt. "I annihilated more than five communities." Before jolting upright, I froze in his arms. '"D- Destroyed in the sense of destroying some houses and other property, right? "I slaughtered almost 300 individuals." He averts his gaze, his jaw tensed and his grasp on me tightening. "Do you feel bad about it?" His head snaps to mine as I murmur.
"You have no clue how much that will cost. I wish I had never been born because I would not have been murdered and obliterated. I was chained for two straight years and being treated as an aberration, and when I finally got my full abilities and escaped, I discovered that my parents were slain and that my siblings had gone missing. I fled to those witches and requested that they cover my vampire and left me with only my wolf, however they were unable to do so. They only handed me a necklace." Gabriel takes out a black pendant with a blood red pulse, similar to the one I have seen at the airport since I first met him.
"This puts my vampire behind." At the age of twenty, I resurrected the pack and discovered my siblings as well as some of the original members. However, the elders discovered that I happened to be a royal heir of the pure blood dynasty. I was given the title of King and was given the responsibility of controlling an entire country. And after a long search, I came to you."
He softly pulls me up and strands his fingers in my hair before pecking my lips. He nips at the point where my neck joins my shoulder, causing my body arch higher in ecstasy as he kisses straight down my jaw. I buried my face in the curve of his neck as he continues, blushing at my reaction. Gabriel will make an effort to hold me in some way after the shower episode, whether it's kissing or simply holding my hand, for he understands my cheeks will become a vivid tone of firetruck red.
