Hybrid Hunting by Mariana Mendoza (comprehension books .txt) 📖

Jace bellowed out. “ How could you let that happen to her? How did it get in here? Who did it? Where are they?” he asked everyone sitting in the table. Jace looked back at me, sympathy and slight pity in his eyes.
Oh, hells to the horse shit no.
I grabbed a candle holder from the table and threw it at Jace, hitting him in the middle of his forehead. Jace growled and glared at me. When he did that Marco immediately stood up and snarled at Jace. My hand in his was the only thing that kept him from attacking the alpha.
“ What the hell, Nina?” Jace growled, more surprised than angry.
“ You know I hate that look. You know very well I’ll smack anyone with anything to get my point across that I hate to be pitied.” I told him.
I felt Jace force his alpha power at me. It slid off of me. I glared at him this time.
“ I’m omega, dipshit nodder boy. Haven’t I showed you enough times that I’m alpha proof?” I said, letting go of Marco so that I could cross my arms under my chest. From my peripheral I saw Mika take the Scotch and took a drink from it. The other girls, and Din, followed as the bottle was being passed.
“ Tell me what has happened, please.” He whined.
I nodded and told him everything that had happened after I made a phone call to Evin. He got angrier and angrier as I told the story until I got to the point of here. I left out the part of me and Evin beating the drums together because Jace was having enough trouble controlling his anger now.
“ And that is how we got to this point, me drinking my bottles of liquor, not,” I took the bottle that Mika had passed from her hands, “ sharing since I wasn’t big on the whole ‘sharing is caring’ bullshit.” I said.
Jace took in some calming breaths in and out, trying to regain his composure. Evin was still staring at Jace, not really talking or doing much. Yeah, if I didn’t have my bottles, I would’ve died right now from testosterone poisoning.
Marco grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I leaned into him and rested my head on his shoulder. Jace saw but chose to ignore it.
“ So, whats the plan? I want to help.” he said.
Everyone, not including me, looked at each other, not really knowing what to say. eventually, everyone stared at me. Yep, I needed another dozen bottles of rum.
“ Well,” I said, taking a swig of vodka, “ Lets start with trying to find this son of a bitch, then we’ll go from there.”
“ So, what you’re trying to say is… that you got no plan?” Evin asked me.
“ Hey, you’re the professional assassin, I was hopin’ you would make a plan up, why did you think I even called you? Just to look at your body?” I asked, giving him a quizzical look.
Evin shrugged and winked at me.
“ I thought it was only that but if you really want me to, I’ll make up the plan, but first I need to know where he is. Can any of you witches do a finding spell for Eddie?” he asked around the three witches.
“ The only way to do a tracking spell is if we had either his scent or anything that he had made or touched.” Melissa informed us.
“ Well, I know his scent must be long gone by now since its been days and we have nothing that he owned.” Marco said.
“ Well, it doesn’t necessarily have to be something non-living. We just need something he had created himself.” Meave said.
“ Okay, what has he made that we have?” Din asked around.
My companions all began to think hard, trying to find the answer. I wanted to smack them all in the head with a pan and cook em for breakfast.
“ Oh, come on ya’ll, Can any of you even see the sun in the daylight? Do any of you know the sky is above us? I mean, the answer is as simple as an egg under a chicken’s ass.” I said.
“ What?” Din and Jace said at the same time.
“ She’s saying that the answer is right in front of us.” Mika said.
I shot her a thumbs up and watched as the other began to think of it. I rolled my eyes and smacked Marco, Jace, and Evin.
“ Me, you idiots. I have something that he made. The demons can lead us to his hiding spot, you bunch of dumb nuts.” I said.
They began to rub their heads, not really liking where I hit them nor what I had said for the answer.
“ It can’t be you, Nina, are you crazy?” Evin glared at me for even thinking the thought.
“ He’s right, you know, you can’t volunteer yourself to get a spell done on you.” Jace said, staring at the witches, daring them to even try to budge their way to me. The witches gulped and stayed where they were.
“ Holy mother fucking hell bomb, its the only way, nodder boy. Don’t listen to the ruffled up rooster right now because you all know that the only thing that we have left that can lead us to Eddie is the freaking demonic worms from Satan’s vagina.” I told them all, pointing at my stomach the whole time.
They were quiet for a long time. Did I ever mention quiet people drove me crazy? It was Marco who broke the silence first.
“ I’ll allow you to lead but as soon as we find him, all you need to do is stay behind me until we find the asshole who did this.” he said.
I smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Marco smiled at me and squeezed my hand under the table. While he may look serious on the outside, I could tell Marco was a sweetheart on the inside. I loved being with him, since he was my vampling and all.
“ I’m with the ex-rabid, there.” Mika chimed in.
“ Us too” the witches agreed.
After all the votes, I only waited for the two overprotective, testosterone filled men that were my ex-lover and current lover. They agreed at each other again before they nodded at me. And with that, I finished all the bottles, placed them back on the table, and stared at them.
“ Okay, so now that we have a deal, Din, Meave, and Melissa will all try to find the tracking spell for this type of tea while Evin plans on what we should take and Jace and Mika can do whatever they want. Marco and I need to have some vampling, master alone time and I want to go out and hunt. No one follow us or I swear I’ll cut something off.” I warned them all.
Jace and Evin weren’t too happy with what I wanted them to do but I was the girl with the demons inside me so it was best for them all to just listen and do as I say for the time being.
Before Marco and I left for the woods, I turned to look at Jace and Mika.
“ Oh, by the way, who’s taking care of your pack if you’re here, Jace?” I questioned him.
Jace smiled at me for a moment. I just gave him a ‘what the fuck are you looking at’ face.
“ My second in command, Leroy is taking my place while I’m here with you. Thank you, for caring enough to ask about them.” he said.
I just gave an awkward nod and walked out the door, Marco following behind me. I then shifted and headed for the forest, hungry for a hunt.

About an hour later, I was full from eating some dear and a few rabbits. I didn’t do most of the hunting since Marco was the one making me stay put. He had hunted most of what we ate and I didn’t like it. Once we were about a few feet from steeping out of the forest, we began to shift back to our human skins.
“ Hey, Marco, can I ask you something personal?”
Marco nodded, as he put on his pants. His had a really good body that I just wanted to touch. But of course, because I had enough men in my life, I held back.
“ Shoot” he said.
“ When you woke up from when I turned you, what did you feel?” I asked, “ I’ve always been curious of what a made vampire feels when he turns up with fangs.”
He ahed and nodded, as if he understood. It had always been secretly nagging me if I had done the right thing for Marco. Something that I always hated myself from that moment was that as I tried to save his life, I had also broken his will. He was connected to me and I wanted to know if he ever resented me for turning him.
We sat down after we changed and I just stared at Marco, waiting for him to speak. He looked up into the sky, then back down to me, smiling before he answered.
“ When you sucked out all of my blood, I felt like I was dying. When I died, I do not really remember much about it but the moment I woke up, I felt so many different things.” he said.
I kept quiet, wanting him to continue.
“ I knew I was different the moment I opened my eyes. I saw even better than when I was a werewolf. I could smell more than before and I felt stronger as well. And then I felt no connection with Eddie. That relieved me and When I saw you, sitting besides me, I felt our connection. You have no idea how I joyful I was when I could feel the new connection between us. I felt your sadness and worry and everything that was going on in your body. At that moment, I had decided that I loved the new me. I wanted to protect you, like I had so many years ago. After that, I finally got the hunger pains for blood.” he finished.
I was silent for a long time, wanting to think really good at what I was going to say next.
“ How…. what do you feel from our bond?” I asked.
I blushed a little when I said it. I didn’t like blushing because only mating squirrels did that when they were having sex in the middle of the public. I hurriedly continued on so
