Chapter 125: _I’m A Hybrid "Tick Tock, Odessa Pierce. Five days left..." I stared at the message like it was a bad omen. For fucks sake, it IS a bad omen! My face heated up with anger as I attempted to respond to the anonymous message. However, my fingers lingered on the buttons for far too long as I thought hard about what to say. My face dripped with cold sweat, causing me to groan with frustration. "Argh! What do I even say?" I lamented, turning away from the balcony and stepping back into my room. Just then, Sirena offered something in my mind. ’Tell them that you’ll curse them and their bloodline if they do anything stupid.’ What the heck? I rolled my eyes before I responded to her. "They’re literally threatening to expose my secret and you want me to add the fact that I can use magic? Also, dabbling with curses has consequences for a newbie like me." I sighed heavily, parting aside some strands of my hair before I focused on sending a response to the anonymous message. "Who are you and what do you want?" I clicked on send, sighing heaving as I crashed on my bed and spread out my arms, staring at my ceiling. To my surprise, another notification came to my phone, forcing me to stare at the screen nervously. "Oh, pathetic witch... I’m your worst nightmare. And as for what I want, that’s simple. I want you ruined completely." Well, ouch... I pouted my lips, contemplating all my possible enemies. I could easily fit almost all the werewolves in the pack and beyond into that list but those only hated me because of my witch heritage. So that would leave... ’Celine!" Sirena spoke up in my head with certainty, causing me to furrow my eyebrows. ’It has to be her; think about it. She’s your biggest hater, and she was acting weird this morning.’ Honestly, Sirena had a point. But her words made me curious about something. "Hey, Sirena. Does this mean you’ve been inside me all this while? And have you been seeing everything–" ’Ew, you made it sound weird.’ Sirena made a retching sound in my head, causing my face to heat up with embarrassment. Gosh, how can MY wolf have such a dirty mind? ’As if your mind is any cleaner.’ Sirena scoffed before she continued. ’Anyway, yeah. When you were born... So was I. That’s how it is with all werewolves. I was supposed to awaken at least when you turned eighteen but your dormant werewolf blood prevented that from happening.’ Oh... I raised an eyebrow as I thought more about the whole thing. I’ve been a hybrid with an inner wolf all this time. I was actually something special, but I never knew about it and had to live all my life ostracized, shunned, and bullied for being a powerless witch. But... Why? "It’s as if... It’s as if my wolf side and my magic have been locked away since birth." I muttered thoughtfully, fiddling with my fingers. "And if that’s the case, what or who locked them away? And how did they awaken?" I stared blankly at my phone and the last message from the anonymous number as I thought about this, but I couldn’t come up with an answer. Why was my life getting filled with more mysteries daily? ’Oh, girl, I have an answer to the second question.’ Sirena suddenly blurted with a confident tone, causing me to furrow my eyebrows curiously. ’Kaelos! Your mate bond with him is what unlocked your wolf side and awakened me, of course. And I guess that your magic is somehow tied to your wolf side so it awakened as well.’ ... What? As I tried comprehending the sudden revelation from Sirena, a knock sounded from the other side of my door, forcing me to sit up and stare at it. "Come in," I said after clearing my throat and adjusting my clothes. The door opened slowly and to my relief, Caroline was the one who peeked her head into the room. She stared around awkwardly before she stepped into the room, a wry smile on her face. "I guess breakfast was a disaster." She said with a soft chuckle as she closed the door behind her. I was able to guess that the reason for her mood was the insults she got from Madame Greyheart. I felt bad, a knot forming in my stomach as I stood up, walking up to her with outstretched arms. I saw the confusion in her eyes but ignored that as I pulled her into a tight hug. "Aw, Caroline. Don’t tell me you let that old hag’s words get to you?" I queried with a wry smile, pulling away and staring at her face. She tried avoiding my eyes but eventually kept eye contact with something unknown glinting in her hazel eyes. Her shoulders slouched, causing me to pull her into yet another hug. "You’re my maid but you’re also the best friend I’ve ever had. Regardless of what anyone says, I’ll never look down on you. You’re far better than that wench who’s probably enjoying the fruits of her late husband’s hard work." I felt her shoulders relaxed and she released a relieved breath as she finally returned my hug. "Madame Greyheart actually made her wealth and noble title from generations of her family’s business empire. But thank you." She said, causing the both of us to chuckle as we broke the hug. I kept my right hand on her shoulder for a while, flashing her a smile before I walked back to my bed and sat. Her face was red as she stood there awkwardly until I patted the spot beside me with my right hand. "Come sit. I need to tell you something." I said. She visibly stiffened, seeming like she was holding her breath until she nodded and stepped forward with a small smile on her face. After she sat down and adjusted her dress, she turned her gaze to me with anticipation. I drew in a deep breath, readying myself before I finally let it all out. "Kaelos and I are mates. And I’m..." I paused, contemplating if I should tell her the last one. Fuck it... "... And I’m a hybrid."
