FOUR!

LIAM

I woke up to the sound of a hum in my ears. No one needs to tell what it is. I knew the sound.

I jerked up from the bed, only to see a handful of people in the room. I looked over to my side. It was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her skin was flawless, flashing like glass under the moonlight.

“Liam Sandstorm, you have disregarded the laws of the land and have committed a grave sin.” I heard a loud voice.

Then it hit me , I slept with a human. Out of all the laws in the underworld, sleeping with humans was and still is the greatest offense. Which means I will have to forfeit my crown. My birthright.

“This has to be a mistake, I was drugged.” I would never in my right mind sleep with a human. I knew better. Which means Adrian. My ambitious brother.

Even as blood brothers from the same parents, Adrian has always wanted what I had. The crown, the fame, even down to the women I liked. It was an obsession.

He just crossed the line by doing this, trying to take what's fully mine. He will regret this.

They didn't listen to my plea, so I stood up, stretched my hands and was handcuffed. It was a pity sight. The next powerful alpha in handcuffs.

I could break this in a second but no, I won't give Adrian another way to try to steal my birthright.

As we moved out of the room, I looked back at the woman on the bed, she was heavily asleep, guessing as a result of the sleeping liquid they would have given her immediately they came in. The liquid is powerful enough to knock out some werewolves too.

We walked out of the room with the witches among clocking us with magic. No human would be able to see us.

“What's going on?” I heard a voice behind me, it was the beautiful woman on the bed. How did she wake up? One of the witches ran to her and said something in her ear. She immediately fell to the ground.

She was put back to the bed and we continued our journey. What does that mean?”

It means she isn't a human dumbass.” My wolf Dylan said. “And your mate.”

Mate. I thought, trying to remember what had happened earlier. I took some heavy alcohol, even though I knew something was added to it.

If she was my mate, what is she doing in the human world?

We got to Sandstorm and I was immediately put in the dungeon. “What's going on? I don't deserve to be locked in. You all saw what happened, she isn't human!” I tried making my captors understand.

They didn't listen, instead walked away in silence. I sat on the floor, thinking about ways to prove my innocence to my father.

“Thinking who your lawyer is going to be?” I heard Adrian's smug voice.

“I'm not going to have a need for a lawyer.”

“You think?” He laughed, “you slept with a human! That is the greatest offense of all time. Even the heir to the Highest Alpha king isn't above it.”

“This only happened because you spiked my drink.” I charge at him.

“You have no proof of that.” He smirked.

I growled at him, furious at his smug face. I will deal with him after I'm exonerated.

“What is your motive?” I asked him.

“You know I always wanted what you had, and I got it. You won't be the next alpha and you won't have a mate.” He said in glee. “The next alpha after my father is me.”

“No it isn't. It's not you!” I yelled at him.

“You better come to terms with it. You are going to stay here for the rest of your life, while I'm out there, ruling the packs.” He said. He left after that, with a large grin on his face.

“What does he mean?” I asked Dylan, my wolf.

“You know what he meant.” He said. “She's a hybrid, and she's your mate.”

“I don't understand.” I said to him,

“A hybrid is someone who is both human and werewolf or a witch and werewolf,” he said, “but it doesn't happen naturally, someone has to be bitten while a hybrid turns someone into one.”

“Bitten?” I asked, knowing what he meant.

“You bit her last night. She is now your mate.”

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was all confusing. I sat there on the cold floor, trying to come to terms with the fact that I turned someone into a hybrid. How am I going to explain to her when she wakes up?

“Father.” I saw Adrian bow to my father.

“Open the gates.” He commanded the guards.

I stood up, surprised and shocked. I looked at Adrian whose face was forming with anger.

“But Father, he committed high treason. He deserves to stay locked up and defend himself in front of the high court.” He demanded.

“There is nothing to defend. The girl he had contact with is a werewolf, not human.” His eyes turned cold but mine went soft.

“She's a human?” I asked again, my father nodded. Dylan danced inside me. He was happy.

The guards opened the gate of the dungeon and I kept out.

“Freshen up, and meet me in the throne room, both of you.” he said and left immediately.

Adrian looked at me, “this isn't over.” He stormed out of my presence.

I walked out of the dungeon and straight to my chambers. I quickly freshened up and went directly to the throne room to see my father.

“The two of you have to stop putting yourself against each other. What is wrong with you?”

“But Father.” I tried speaking.

“Still talking.” He stopped me. “Adrian I have given you more stations than any of my sons. You need to stop bringing your brother down. You need to have his back Incase enemies knock at our doors. You both need to be there for each other.” He said both of us.

“I understand father.” Adrian said, bowed and left.

“Now you , you are going to have to reject that hybrid as your mate.”

My face was filled with confusion. “Father what do you mean, I have been in search of a mate for a long time. And a hybrid will be a strong Luna.”

“She wouldn't know our custom, she doesn't know anything about werewolves.” He said clushing his fits.

“We can't know for sure Father, not until I find out for myself.”

“You will obey your King and Father. I have given you a command. Now go.”

I stormed out of the throne room with all my fury ready to lash out at anyone I came across.

Dylan wasn't making things easier, he kept pacing inside me unable to stay stable. This is the first time we have felt connected to anyone in a long time. Not after….

I don't know why Father will just decide out of the blue. But he is my King and his command I shall obey.

I left Sandstorm into the human world, hoping to find my mate.

The way was narrow and shallow. My heart arched for what I was about to do but I had to do it.

I got to the end of a street, looked to my side and found a figure at the end of the road. It was a woman and she looked familiar.

For some reason I started walking towards her and she did the same.

I stopped in my tracks as I recognized her. It was my mate, Dylan howled in pain.

Her eyes shone like an emerald immediately she saw. She was happy to see me. I was too, but in the wrong way.

I LIAM SANDSTORM REJECTS AS MY MATE.
