Albert's secret.

I made myself invisible while looking for Selena, I focused all my high senses on her smell. I did follow each and every lead that may help me find her until I finally found her.

She was on her way out along with her father surrounded by some guards. I could kill her any minute by now, but it's not going to be fun – Not fun is not my style.

The first thing I did was to show myself up, and this was all enough to plant fear in their weak hearts. Sir Rowan was hiding his daughter behind, how cute but pathetic.

He ordered his guards to attack me, but one move from my hand was all I needed to throw them all away at once, and they were all knocked out.

When he noticed that only the three of us left, he ordered his daughter – Selena to run, and she did as she was told.

While she was running away Sir Rowan intended to attack me. I dodged away from his attack, he was trying to bite me. Like all Lycans, he knows that a Lycan bite can be a killer bite to a vampire, but I'm not a vampire - I am a Hybrid, and I'm the strongest right now!

I used my super speed to launch punch after punch, without him laying even a finger on me. Before I moved on to follow my search for Selena, I decided to give him a gift, the same gift he and his daughter gave: Pain. I used one of the gifts to make him face his worst fears which turned out to be losing his fortune.

I kept following Selena's smell, until I found myself in a room. Something about this room seems familiar ….. On the bedside was a picture thrown on the floor, it was a picture of a woman standing by Albert side, guess we were on Albert room.

She was standing in the middle of the room before she stated muffling '' don't touch me'' She shouted '' you don't know who you're dealing with... I am Sel…..'' – '' Shut up bitch.'' I snapped at her before attacking her.

I bit her neck, and I started drinking from her blood. Her screams were like music to my ears, a sweet melody that went along with the lovely taste of her damn blood. My Hybrid felt finally satisfied and at ease.

Her voice died along with her as she fainted out, her body was thrown before me. She was weak and helpless, as I used to be.

As I was about to tear her heart out from her body, a scream got me out of guard. It was Albert ''Stop!'' he shouts ''don't do it... Please! '' He pleaded.

I left her unconscious body with of my hands then I asked '' What if I don't want to let her go?'' His eyes went red as it seemed that his Lycan was taking control.

All of this is just for Selena, what the hell is special about her? Why does everyone want to help her, while no one cared about me when I needed help?

Looking at Albert's shape, I discover the reason why she ran to this room exactly. She knows that he's the only one to help her no matter what. "My oh my! She is your mate, isn't she?'' I wondered, but he did not answer me.

He was still on guard watching my every move. '' You care about her don't you?'' I asked him again, this time he answered '' Yes, I do. Now let her go.''

His answer did only make furious toward her more than before, I tightened my hold on her neck. '' Well, you're beautiful mate, the one between my hands – used to sleep with my mate. Yet, you still want to give up your life for her. You know that I can kill the both of you... right?'' I wondered, and he answered me '' Mates are for life … I can't do anything but to forgive her.''

'' You can reject her if you want!'' I explained to him, but he snapped at me '' Do you think the rejection is a game, it will only make our lives worse than before… and for someone who's cursed with eternity, it's a bad option. Deep inside you know that I'm right ... we're both in the same beat.''

'' I understand … Still I want her dead!'' I exclaimed not hiding my true intentions. He then added something interesting '' If you kill her, you and all vampires will lose all the help I used to provide you with.'' Wait … what?

'' Yes … I am the one who helped vampires to get you to your home, I'm the one who brought your necklace back to you, and I am the only one who can help you not to lose the war … You better think twice before making your next move.'' He threatened.

I then set Selena's body free of my hold, and then threatened Albert back '' I never asked for your help, nor will I ever. Next time help yourself by keeping your mate out of my sight, because I can't promise you to spare on your lives another time.'' I then left his room.

While leaving, I sneaked one last look at both of Albert and Selena. Deep inside, I was kinda jealous of her. She's not a good person, but she's gifted by someone who loved her so much that he's ready to step on the closest person to him, and not to hurt her.

I gave one last look at the palace where I spent my worst days, it was all chaotic and destroyed. Bold and bodies are all around, then I started feeling pain inside my heart… What am I doing? This is not me ….

Lost in my thought I was that I didn't notice Liam approaching me '' Satisfied?'' He asked '' Tell me – Are you satisfied now?'' No, I'm not. I did want him to feel pain like me... But I did never want anyone to get hurt in between us.

As I was about to explain myself to him, Elijah called me out …..
