THE MARKED HYBRID

KYRA

In the ancient times when vampires, werewolves, and demons weren't living in communion with each other, there were constant battle for power and authority to rule.

But the worse battle was the one between the vampires and werewolves. The vampires strived for the power to rule over the world, so also were the werewolves.

The demons were more like the neutral party among these other races, reasons being that they are not a partial race. This rule has been placed ever since the beginning of time.

The battle and enmity between the vampires and werewolves intensified, and it resulted in the vampires spilling the royal blood of the werewolf race, who was the only heir to Alpha king, and Luna queen who was also a witch.

The vampires by the order of their king launched an attack on the werewolves, and wiping out almost half of the werewolves in the royal pack.

The Alpha king then was killed, leaving just the Luna and their infant. It so happens that the Queen became the only one fighting for the kingdom with her child in hand. She tried warding off the vampires by using her witch's magic, but she was quickly overpowered, her child taken away from her and killed in her very own eyes.

This made the queen feral and since she was a witch, she laid a curse on the two races, to never coexist, but rather kill themselves whenever they met. The curse stated that if there was to ever be a bond between the two races, or a child born between them, the child will bring about eternal destruction and doom to the world.

The witch took her life after placing the curse, which caused a great thunderstorm and a heavy downpour of rain, believed to have sealed the curse she laid.

Since then, there have been no moment of peace between the two races. It was no longer just a fight to rule, it was the hatred that has been sealed in the form of a curse.

After a thousand years of enmity between the two races, it happened that the Alpha king secretly mated to a vampire slave whom his men had captured for fun.

The capture of the females of both races has been tending for years. The two races hunted their females and when caught, they are forced to serve the royals, either as sex slaves or used for hard labor work.

When Alpha king, Cedric Griffin, was born to lead his kingdom. He continued from where his father stopped by kidnapping young vampire females whom he used to satisfy his lust.

It was during those times, he met his mate, a beautiful vampire female. At first, they both denied the mate bond, knowing it will bring disaster among them two, but the mate bond was so strong that they couldn't resist, and mated.

They kept their mating a secret, until the vampire female became pregnant. Cédric, knowing he was expecting a child with the vampire, refused to abandon her, even when they knew the consequences will be dire.

At a long run, he made it known to his people about the vampire female being his mate. This caused a great uproar in his kingdom and beyond, because of the great curse laid by his ancestor.

Cedric refused to listen to anyone, and rather made the vampire his Queen.

Soon after, they gave birth to a daughter named Kyra. Maria became the first and only child of the werewolf king.

No one dared to call her a princess, for they all thought she would bring disaster upon their kingdom.

Innocent Kyra had to suffer at the hands of her pack. At school, she was avoided like a plague, not treated as the princess she was. No one was willing to speak to her, she was practically rejected by both vampires and werewolves and tagged as a monster.

The school for the vampires was practically different from the school for the werewolves.

These two races were like the night and day, which never crossed parts. Only the demons had the free will to school wherever they wanted, for they were not a party of the feud between the two races.

Deep in this brutal enmity between both races, Kyra suffered. But then, her parent's love and protection kept her going.

They promised to never abandon her, they encouraged her to never worry about the hate of the world, for there will come a time when she would have to make manifest her powers.

Her parents believed the moon goddess, wouldn't make them mates if they were to suffer from the ancient witch's curse.

Kyra then lived with the hope that things will get better for her and that she would one day be accepted by the world.

But as the days went by, kyra saw every reason to believe that she would never be accepted.

She peered at her torn uniform, hot tears ran down her cheeks. Staring at the cheers and laughter from her classmates made Maria break down into more tears.

"You should never have been born bastard daughter of a vampire!"

That was the class monitor, Gerald. The other kids all laughed wickedly at her, for what Gerald had done to her uniform.

"What a weakling, she cries just because her uniform was torn."

"Ha, ha, ha." Everyone in her class began laughing at her. Kyra could no longer bear the bullying as she ran away from class.

While running away, she bumped into someone, she gazed up to whom she had bumped into, only to discover it was Ivan, her worse nightmare, who happens to be the royal beta's son.

"So it's the stupid vampire princess."

Ivan seemed to be looking around the hall of the school, Maria knew she was in a deeper trouble because Ivan only looked around when he was about to carry out his brutal bullying.

Despite the warnings he got from his father, he never stopped what he did to her. He always made sounded a warning to Kyra that if she ever dare complain about him to her father, he would make her life at school a living hell. At first, she didn't believe him and made a complaint about him.

It so happens that after he was reprimanded by his father, he came lashing out on Kyra the next day. Ever since then, she never dared to tell on him again, not even her bullies from her class. She kept silent about everything she went through at school, as it was the only place they could bully her.

Ivan walked closer to her, a glint in his eyes.

At this moment, Kyra began shivering terribly.

"Show me your fangs, I want to see how they look."

"It must be looking hideous, ha ha ha."

"Silence Ray. Let our little princess show us what she's got."

"Open up, don't waste my time!"

Kyra began to tremble in fear because Ivan kept asking to see her fangs every year.

"Do you want me to open it up for you, huh!"

He thundered, his eyes green eyes quickly turned a light shade of blue.

"I'm not eighteen yet, just seventeen."

She said in a little whisper.

That brought about a great silence. It seemed as though Ivan was in thoughts. She dared not raise her gaze at him, out of fear.

He suddenly moved even closer to her, his breath fanning her face.

"So you are not eighteen yet, huh?"

He began to touch her hair, gently like he actually cared about her, but within seconds, he pulled strongly at her hair, driving pains down to the roots of her hair follicles.

"Please let me go Ivan, you are hurting me"

She began to whimper silently, knowing she could not fight back. She had never fought before, and never planned to, for she was afraid of what she will be called if she ever lost her temper one day. She preferred to be bullied, and never fight back.

"Since there's still one more year until you become of age, then I will gladly wait to see the monster you will become."

He gave her a loud smack on the head, before he walked out of sight with his entourage he always carried with him.

Kyra's legs gave up the moment he left, she fell to the ground, tears batting terribly at her eyelashes.
