" Come…" a low whisper echoed in my ears.
" Come to me mine…" louder this time. There it is again. The strange whisper from my dead mate!
"Megan?"
" Ahhh leave me alone" I mumbled, I tossed under the blanket and put my hands over my ears.
" Come, Megan!" The voice cracked like thunder inside my head. Dominant and sexy… how can he be dead for years and still have an attractive voice?
" Ahhh!" I groaned and sat upright, breathing heavily. I fold my arms across my chest "What do you want from me?" I whispered, hoping he would at least respond.
But all I hear is silence! As usual. He never answered. He only talked to me while sleeping, whispering my name until I woke up with huge dark circles under my eyes!
" Seriously? Is that what you want?" I grabbed a pillow and threw it at the innocent door. " You enjoy making me suffer huh?" I threw another pillow at the wall.
" You have been disturbing me for years and still don't understand that I don't joke with sleep, so stop whispering at night!" I roared.
" Are you a witch or a Lycan?" The Lycan King making noises from the dead is quite scary.
That's how I used to rant every morning, I knew who this big mosquito was, his name is Ezikel, a supreme Alpha. He is not just an Alpha, but the one the humans told stories about, the nightmare of every Immortal that chose to hate him.
Not born when it happened, but my mom told me my mate is the most powerful Alpha in history. He was also the first Lycan King with three royal bloods from different races, running in vain, too powerful to kill, so they cursed him instead, luring him to sleep. Two hundred years ago, witches, traitors of my race, and the black werewolves teamed up to destroy him. They sacrificed a lot of blood, some said the queen witch sacrificed her only son to trap him.
She also said that when they took him down in the first war of the supernatural beings. It happened under the first moon that rose in the afternoon, and a prophecy about me, the first hybrid of our race was released.
Afraid things will get out of her hands. The queen witch had to sacrifice his only son, she opened a forbidden portal and released the most dangerous dark energy, which cost the lives of several witches and black Werewolves.
Despite all the sacrifices, they couldn't kill him, they only managed to make him unconscious. Lured to deep sleep.
The witches buried him in an abandoned church, located deep in the forest, leaving him trapped with dark magic no one would want to break. His body still sleeps there, surrounded by the skeletons of the ones that brought him there. Since then, the forest in the East became forbidden for both mortals and immortals. Because that was where she performed the spell that took the life of his only son and she was unable to close the forbidden portal she opened.
They said that only his mate can wake him. Which is a problem. Because I'm his mate! And I'm not ready for that kind of nightmare.
But I want to know more about him, I want to study him. Ahhh! Where is my manner? My name is Megan Stone, a princess of... Well, I don't know, I'm the first hybrid in my race. My race is the oldest in history, and we're labelled as the forgotten race.
We were the masters of magics before the witches even existed. The witches enjoyed the fame on the humans' lips. Whenever there's magic, they believe it's from witches, but have you ever wondered if there's another race more dangerous than the witches that control magics?
Well, that's my race. We're called The Changelings! The most powerful race with magic, now we own Magics. Inherited it from Hecate, the mother and the goddess of witchcraft and magic.
We have similar magic with the witches because we are actually siblings, but we are older and stronger. Looking forward to telling you about my race.
The door creaked, and my sister's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"Megan?" she said, peeking in. Seeing my huge dark circles, her eyes went wide. "Whoa… you look like a ghost. Did your mate mess with your head again?"
"Shut up," I said, glaring at her. Ahh, it's my fault for telling my sister and mom about the whispers a hundred times. No one knew how to save me from it, but they knew how to tease me. I have to bear it alone till I find a solution to it.
" You know that suspicious witch that killed Montana Lewis?"
" Yes, what's with him?" I asked, I have a vow to protect humans from bad immortals.
" I saw him on my way home"
I frowned in confusion " Where did you go early in the morning?"
" Helping you hunt witches," she replied innocently.
I placed a palm on my face " Emily you…" speechless, really really speechless. We are the immortals hiding within the mortals to keep me safe. I am the mate of the Alpha that every immortal feared. My mom had to sacrifice a lot for my safety, leaving her wealthy family and my father's palace! Relocating to different countries every three years!
I suggested witch hunting because I'm so determined and capable of killing them, who knows my younger sister will take it personally.
I sighed helplessly, " Okay, thank you. Where can I find him?" I quickly got down from the bed. That's one of the queen witch servants, roaming around the humans. The lady he killed was a healer, she protects the humans from evil vampires and witches.
" But how will you go out with mom?" she asked.
" Don't worry I have my ways"
" But the number of the witches has increased, even mom became alert and started packing up, they must not smell you remember, they knew the scent of changelings, and can detect the hybrid one" she whispered to my ear. Everyone immortal knows there's one hybrid in changelings, and that's me, Ezekiel's mate. Emma is also a hybrid, but we value the power of every first child.
My sister is safe, for now. She has two names, Emily Emma which raised another confusion, mom didn't name her that, but the seer does. He said the names are tangled with her destiny.
I haven't gained my ability yet, but animals listen to me, which is natural for the Changelings.
" What if it's a trap," she suggested. " How did he even know….wait!" Her eyes widened in horror as she watched me dash out without listening further.
Emily knocked herself for not thinking about that earlier " He's heading to the crocodile woods!" Emily mumbled and frowned.
" But that's Megan's favourite forest to play in, well, not that deep, but this forest or whatever is a haunted forest with crocodiles and other dangerous reptiles! I knew it was not as dangerous as the forbidden forest, but crocodile spirits are stubborn, not easy to control"
" Lady Emily Emma…The government forbids everyone from going there. The crocodiles in that dry wood are very aggressive." One of the maids replied nervously.
" Where is mom?" She asked the maids in a hurry.
