Chapter 51.1

I didn't know Kali's preference for clothes, so I just went on instinct and chose a few outfits. But I guessed just right.

Now standing in front of the town's most gossiped night club for supernaturals, I'm fucking elated, I didn't go with the sequin dress Kali insisted would show off my ass, and enough cherries to get whatever answer I wanted. I wasn't going for a strip dance, and for the answers, I smiled to myself, I would get them.

I went with my style. Washed black jeans shorts that stopped a little after my ass, and a silver chained crop top and high knee boots. And my hair let loose in natural curls.

"We aren't mercenaries on a dangerous mission, Cirilla. We are going there to relax, have fun, hopefully, get laid, and get something on the Alpha King that we didn't know before," We kept walking closer, but she stopped abruptly, running a hand through her short shiny red dress that outlined her ass and under a small amount of scrutiny one could get a glimpse of her breasts. She stood tall on her heels. "Remember, you can't just ask anyone about the Alpha…" She stopped herself, glancing sideways, hoping no one heard her. "Especially witches. He's been on their necks for too long,"

"Why?" As fast as the question came out we were interrupted by two hefty bouncers.

"Are you getting in or not?" His voice was with a growl. One sniff and I could sense he was a wolf. Rogue.

"Relax grumps, we are coming," Kali sent me a smile as we reached the front doors and stopped by serious-looking men.

Their scents were foreign, but one was a demon. Their eyes raked our bodies inappropriately before a sick grin appeared.

"Identify yourselves,"

"Lizzie Borden," I called immediately. "Witch,"

Kali sent me an almost unnoticeable smirk. "Allyn McBeal. Witch,"

"Wrists," The order was quick, and Kali pulled hers first, only to be tattooed with some mark. I did the same and was tattooed as well.

"Have fun ladies, and no magic inside," The voice showed little to no enthusiasm for his job at all.

As we entered, a loud noise filled my ears. Electric, booming beats vibrated through the walls, and the air was filled with smoke and chatter.

Kali and I made our way through the throng of bodies and reached the bar.

I leaned against the counter, glancing around at the amount of people that crammed the room. All of the different kinds.

"Three shots of vodka and coke and whatever you recommend gorgeous," I heard Kali shout over the music, ordering and flirting.

I could feel many eyes on me. Lustful glances. I turned back to Kali, chugging down each shot one after the other.

It burned. It stung. But that was what I needed.

"I'm off to the dancefloor, I just clocked some delicious-looking guys. Good luck to us," She muttered the last word with a wink and I watched her sandwich herself between two guys.

"It doesn't look good for a pretty girl to be standing all alone," Hot, disgusting breath swamped my ear.

Gosh. I fought the urge to land a blow.

Slowly, seductively, I turned around to meet the guy. Eyes brewed in lust as they glided on me.

"It surely doesn't," I said in a low, purposeful whisper, taking a sniff. I couldn't tell what he was. "You smell nice. What are you?"

His smirk deepened. "For you, I can be anything," He leaned closer, aiming for my lips but I stopped him with a hand on his moist lips. Disgusting.

"Sweet. But what are you?"

His eyes flicker to my lips. "An elf, my sexy witch," He kissed my finger. "Want to come join me and my friends," He cocked his head to a faraway table and I could identify a rogue wolf, and vampire there.

"Sure," I whispered in his ear.

We headed to the table where a girl was seated on the vampire's lap, eating his face up. But I was the exclusive focus of the wolf.

We gulped down drinks, after drinks, and Jeff, the elven guy went to get more drinks.

I turned my attention to the wolf, devouring me with his eyes.

"Do you…" I whisper, using every act of seduction I had mastered from movies I spent late night watching. "...want to get out of here?"

His eyes lightened up like a Christmas tree, sending a glance towards the bar. "Let's get out of here,"

I consented so willingly, and we left the building, into the empty, gloomy alleyway.

Quickly, like a sex-starved maniac, he groped my hips, pushing me against the wall, diving his lips in for a kiss.

With speed, I swapped our position and he smirked. "I love a woman in control," The rush of his blood in his veins filled my ears like sweet music, awakening my dark side. The monsters that wanted nothing more than his blood.

My hold on him tightened as I wrestled with the hunger in me. I could feel my fangs itching to crawl out.

I leaned backward, fighting off my demons as pulled his face closer to mine.

"Not too fast, wolfy. I was hoping to have a chat with you,"

"It can wait, can't it?" His hands were on my hips, tightening.

I shook my head, "I'm looking for someone," I breathed over his lips.

"Who? Surely, I can help. I know a lot around here," He swallowed hard. Eyes on his main interest. My lips.

"The Alpha King," I watched him hard for the slightest twinge of reaction. And it came.

His eyes flared and narrowed with fear, and he retrieved his hands from my hips.

"You are a wolf. You should know about him. Where can I find him? What pack does he control?" I asked away, even though his fear had morphed into anger.

"Why would a witch be looking for someone like that?" The words weren't from him but they came from the end of the alley, and slowly, silent footfalls drew closer until the light bulbs highlighted his face. A witch. "We should be staying off his radar and keeping ourselves out of the Hybrid's way, but here you are, seeking him out,"

Hybrid?

My hold on the wolf loosened and he slipped out the first chance he got, escaping out of my sight. I could have gone after him, but somehow, I had a feeling this witch had those answers for me.

"We should, right?" I released an awkward laugh in the darkness. "But I need to find him,"

"Why?" The witch drew closer and closer.

"Why do you think? He came after my people, I want to hurt him where it hurts the most," I had no idea what script I was going for, but I needed answers and fast.

The witch's laughter rang for seconds in the darkness. "And how do you plan on doing that? He's fucking invisible,"

"Everyone has a weakness," I prodded. "Where can I find him,"

"You heard," He cocked his head, sideways.

Heard what??

"Everyone's searching for his fucking brat now more than ever since word got out about the prophecy,"

Prophecy? What prophecy? It couldn't be Mason's—

"This is payback time for us. To get revenge on him,"

I blinked, still confused. I had no clue what we were talking about now.

"Everyone's searching for his daughter—"

Daughter?

My confusion must have been etched deep because it soon found his.

"The fucking Tribrid princess. The one—" He stopped. "What's the real fucking reason you are looking for him?"

"I told you," I bit through gritted teeth, fighting the fucking whispers in my head, demanding blood.

I attempted to walk away, sucking in my groans, but he caught my arms, pushing me against the wall. "Tell me!"

I groaned at my own pain and seemingly failure to keep the monster in me at bay.

"Tell me!"

I groaned. "Are you stupid or what? Can't you see I'm trying to keep my shit together and failing, so walk away imbecile," My eyes were closed as the need was almost taking control.

"I'm not fucking letting you go, whore," His grip tightened on my arm, and the monster in me was unleashed.

My inner vision was red as my eyes snapped open and by the look of sudden fear, confusion, and horror in his eyes, I knew the color of my eyes had changed.

"What the fuck are you?" Shocked, he let go immediately. "You fucking whore," He spat, lifting his finger to constrict my neck, pinning me against the wall. Cheap trick.

Effortlessly, I broke out from his weak hold, eager to practice on some spells I had learned, but the hunger deep in me was worse.

He attempted to send a ball of energy my way with his hands but I stopped them, dissipating them. Using my mind, I snapped every fucking bone in his body, ignoring his screams.

And with a snap of a finger, I had him pinned against the wall. With sweet delight, my fangs found its treasured spot on his neck, sinking in.

I kept on drinking to my full, before discarding his body aside. I wiped my lips, hearing hasty footsteps approach me. Kali.

"I've been looking for you," She inspected the guy on the ground. "Here I was thinking you would be bored to death. Did you manage to get anything from him before you…" She gestured with her hands.

I walked closer to her. "Not much,"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her hands pulled up to her hips as I noticed she was maybe a little tipsy. "Well, good for you, sweetheart. I've got all the answers you need,"

There was a bang in my chest as something in me twitched. I held my breath, eager to hear everything she had found out, but at the same time, fright settled in at the thought of what that prick had said about the Alpha King. His daughter.

I exhaled the heated air in my lungs as fear and no doubt, panic crawled in.
