We shouldn't be

"Skai, I know you're here somewhere."

Father yells in search of me, causing a shiver of fear to run through my spine.The closer he got, the more my heartbeat intensified.

There's no telling what he'll do when he finds me.

Looking down from the cupboard top, I could see his thick leather boots.

Thinking quickly, I lay flat on my back.

The board made a cracking sound, but luckily he didn't hear

"Little girl, I'm going back to the bar. You had better be out when I return."

He warns, his voice evident in his anger. The door then slammed shut.

I waited for a while to make sure he was gone before climbing down.

Father's going to punish me and there's no way to stop him. Trust me, and he won't be pleased till I'm black and blue.

Laying in bed, tears cascaded down my face.

Why Mommy, why? Father wasn't like this when you were here.

Now, closing my eyes, I go to my happy place.

Sleep!

"Darling, you don't have to stay, leave like I did"

Someone said in my dreams, and I awoke and began packing my bag, my whole body trembling in fear that he might catch me.

This was my first time attempting to run away.

But why should I stay and accept the constant abuse for no reason?

Mom didn't.

Packing the last of my belongings, I took one last look around before leaving my home.

A place I'd known for 18 years of my life.

My heart shattered to pieces. All the memories of when Mom was around are gone.

Yet as I stepped through those doors, I knew there was no turning back.

With a sigh of victory, I proceeded to walk along the dimly lit road.

The chilly night air seeping through my sweater sends an instant wave of shivers through my body. I can only cling to the sweater closer to my skin and move faster, my teeth now chattering.

It's a chilly night in January, with barely any snow outside, but the wind is brutal. When the bus stop comes into view, I release a sigh of relief.

Almost there!

I made it to the bus station and sat down on the bench.

What next?

My mom's nowhere in this country, believe me, I've searched for her and I know no family here. The one friend I had, Dad, prohibited me from talking to her. Lost in thoughts, something flashes past. My senses came back to reality.

I glanced around, I was stunned to see a boy who appeared to be just around my age, sitting on the far end of the bench.

"Hi"

I am trying to be friendly, and am also curious about why he's here. It's cold and lonely outside.

The boy turns around to face me, a smirk across his sweet face before it changes into one that isn't very human-like.

His once-bright blue eyes darkened black as midnight, his teeth protruding out of his mouth. I screamed and started running, frightened by what I saw.

Amusingly, the thing didn't chase me. Noticing that, I started to walk, trying to catch my breath.

Then, in such a sudden movement, I was shoved to the ground and the human-animal-looking thing was standing over me.

I crawl backward to get away from him, but he only steps closer and pouts a little

"This is no fun. You're not running and screaming as much as the other girls I've fed on, and I enjoy playing a little with my food before I devour it"

Those words paralyzed me. What the heck?

Somebody better wake me up from this dream.

Because this isn't real, no way it is.

"Bye"

The thing says, moving closer to me. I closed my eyes, preparing for what was to come, but then I heard growling, growling.

Peeping through one eye, only to see more like him.

"Brain, there's a way to deal with this hunger. You can't go around feeding on innocent humans,"

One of the monster-looking things says, two other ones beside him standing in a defensive stance.

"This was your last strike. I'm afraid we'll have to kill you."

One of them said, and the boy only laughed, then flung himself at them. The scene was gruesome as they sunk their teeth into his neck, ripping it apart.

Blood oozes out instantly, making me dizzy.

I struggled to stay conscious but failed

***

Holding my head in pain, it throbbed like I'd been hit with a brick.

My brain took a while to process what was going on.

Panic seeped in when I found myself on a cold bench in a cell, a very dirty-looking one, I might add, with bloodstains and claw marks on the wall.

The monster-looking thing must have brought me here, for sure.

Searching for an entrance.

The hairs on my hands suddenly stood up, an indication that I'm being watched.

I looked up, only to see a man's figure with very unusual hazel eyes. It appeared to have a slight glow.

Staring at me, it took everything in me to not scream

The only light in the place is the light from the moon shining through the window.

"You're up."

The man says, his voice displaying a hint of an accent.

Wow, that accent was quite sexy. He chuckles somewhat knowingly, then pulls the cell and steps in. I step back, still terrified.

"What sort of idiot must you be, to ever wander on the road, in the middle of the night alone?"

"Hey," I crossed my arms, taking offense.

"I'm not an idiot, and I wasn't wondering,"

"Then what were you doing?"

The man asks, finally coming into view.

Not only does he have a sexy monotone voice, but he's also extremely handsome. Striking eyes, juicy pink lips, and a perfectly structured face. I blushed and looked away, feeling shy.

Back to the question, what am I supposed to tell him? He's a stranger, and frankly, it's none of his business.

"If it wasn't for my men-"

He starts but stops. That's so annoying. Why say something if you're not going to finish it?

"May I ask what you remember from last?"

He steps closer to me, and I step back until my back hits the blood-stained wall.

How disgusting!

"Nothing,"

I lied as he shook his head.

"Lies your heart skipped a beat"

Can someone tell tha, wait?

"You're one of t- "

"SSH,"

He placed a finger over my lips. The alluring scent of this stranger and his eyes trapped me in a daze.

Without thinking, I touched his face, and surprisingly, he leaned into my touch.

"Fear smells lovely on you little human"

He growls, fangs protruding from his mouth.

"W-what are you?"

I stutter

"What I am doesn't matter love, hang tight, you're my new possession"

And that's the last thing I remembered before he sunk his fangs into me.

Tylor, The Hybrid King's POV

"Please master"

The slut that I was fucking begged.

My strokes brutal as I slammed my cock into her repeatedly.

"Arg, Please"

Pulling out of her, she collapsed onto the mattress.

"Unless bitch"

I muttered to myself and hopped into the shower. A century of insatiable hunger for sex and hunger for blood only seems to get worse.

No woman can keep up with my cravings.

They all think I was a monster, and maybe I was.

Drying myself off, I'm about to feed on one of the maids when someone mind-linked me.

"King, we have a problem."

It was Lester, the head of the newly turned committee. He's making sure their transition goes safely, and they don't reveal our secrets to the normal world.

"And what's that?"

I growled out, sexually frustrated. The slut didn't even last 5 minutes.

"We had to take out Brian,"

"So"

I growled again.

"King, should we get one of the prostitutes, or? He trails"

He knew about my struggles. They all did. Whenever I roam the halls of my kingdom, the fear in the eyes of the maids, evident as they wondered which one of them I'm about to fuck next.

"No, is there anything else?"

"Brian tried to feed on a human. She's now passed out on the ground."

Fuck

"Bring her here. Once she wakes, we wipe her memory and send her on her way"

With that, I closed the mind-link and left the room.

It was so late that no one could be seen strolling about the castle.

Should a pin drop, you'd hear it.

As I walked down to the dungeon, I'm hit with a sweet scent, the sweetest to ever pass my nostrils.

The scent got stronger the more I descended the stairs.

And then

I'm face to face with the beautiful human girl Brian had brought here.

She got up off the bench and looked around. Her heart was beating rapidly when she looked and saw me.

I could smell her fare, and I liked it. Man, I'm such a monster.

"You're up?"

I asked, and her eyes sparkled. My accent gets them every time.

Chuckling, I open the cell and step inside.

She blushes and looks away; the sight making my dick twitch.

Finds me attractive, I see

"If it wasn't for my men-"

I go to say, but that would only risk our identity, so instead I asked.

"May I know what you remember from last?"

She remained silent as sadness fell upon her face.

Curiosity pushed me to dig further. Something is being kept from me.

Is she a prostitute and was going home after a shift? Is that it?

My eyes roam her body that radiates innocence.

No, it's something else, and I need to know, even if that requires using compulsion. Taking a step closer, she takes one back, until her back hits the wall.

"Nothing, "

She lied

"Lies your heart skipped a beat"

Silly human, hybrids can easily detect a lie

"you're one of t- "

"ssh,"

I placed a finger over her tempting lips, preventing her from saying anything further.

The alluring scent of this strange girl ignited the beast within and my dick grew harder.

She touched my face, and unwillingly I leaned into the touch.

"Fear smells lovely on you little human".

An animalistic growl escapes from my mouth as fangs protrude.

The more her fare rose, so did my hunger for a taste of her blood.

"W-what are you?"

She stutter

"What I am doesn't matter love, hang tight, you're my new possession"

And with that, I sunk my fangs into her neck. The taste is unlike anything I've tasted before.

So pure.

The human passes out in my arms and I retract my fangs and lick the blood dry from her neck.

Noticing a bag that was on the bench she once sat on.

I threw the human over my shoulders and brought her back to my lair.

The slut that was here is now gone.

Placing her on the bed, I then went to the bathroom to grab a wet towel to clean her neck.

When I returned, she was cuddled up with a pillow.

Turning her on her back, I cleaned her neck, after which I searched for her bag for something to put on.

I found a simple light blue night dress and just when I was about to change her, someone knocked on the door.

"King"

"What?"

"A minute, please."

Lester says urgently. Marching to the door, I flung it open, stepped out, and closed it behind me.

"The girls missing"

She isn't missing a dummy. She's in my room, passed out from me, tasting the sweetness of her blood, and now that I have.

The human's mine

"I know the girl's in there. I'm not stupid."

He folds his arms.

"And so what if she is?"

I tilt my head cockily

"You know the rule, Tylor."

His wasn't just my second-in-command talking, but a concerned pal, who knows any sexual contact or relationship between a human and a hybrid, is forbidden.

Except for feeding, a hybrid can take a human as a personal maid who cooks clean and offers her blood when needed

.

"Yeah, we're done talking"

I stormed inside and shut the door.

"Be careful. Remember, you have an uncontrollable sex drive"

He yells before leaving.

Everything he's saying is true, but for whatever reason. I'm drawn to this human.

I want her; I need her. The mere sight of her sends me into a state of possessiveness.

Going back over to the bed, I take her top off.

Purr escaped my lips as her plump breasts jiggled their way into my view.

My erection now painfully bursting against my pants.

Pulling her pants down, I'm disappointed to see she's wearing underwear.

I wanted to know if that clit is as pink as those nipples.

Gosh, she is so sexy. Despite the scars on her body that I noticed.

The humans moan every contact my hand makes with her skin as I dress her.

I groan and rush to the bathroom, the urge to wake her up and fuck her strong.

My dick was ready and mean when I took it out.

What have I done? I never should have gone down to that cell.

Getting out of bed, I stretched the sleep off of me. Noticing that there were now clothes in the once empty closet, I walked over and picked out something to wear, and began taking a bath.

I still can't believe that what I've always read about in books is true. If vampires are real, then what else is out there?.

Feeling the water getting cold, I quickly finished up and got dressed in the baby blue dress I had picked out. Looking at myself in the mirror while brushing my hair, I can't help but think about my mother. I look just like her.

"Skai," a voice calls from the door. I quickly place the hairbrush down and walk over to the door, opening it. "the king wants to see you, follow me" this maid was nicer

I did as she said. This place is so huge I could get lost.

"We're here," she says after what felt like hours of walking. She walks off and I open the door, stepping inside. "Take a seat" I did as the king ordered, a King? I still can't believe that.

Not just any king, a vampire one, the little voice in my head says. "How are you feeling?" he asks in his regular voice, which I find very attractive. "Sure you would"

"I'm still trying to process everything, but other than that, I'm fine. "

"great you start working today," shit no-no "there's something I need to tell you but you have to promise you won't get mad at me and punish me or beat me"

He pulls his chair forward, resting his hand on his desk. "Just tell me"

"Okay, so I lied about knowing how to cook. I'm sorry for lying, but I'm a fast learner. I'm sure I could learn in.,"

"That's fine. I never needed a new cook, anyway." We stayed in silence for a minute,

"I'm not your dad," he spat in a disgusted tone.

"What do you mean?" I mean, I never expected to live here for free

"it's not that, I need you to know that I would never abuse you" feeling embarrassed I looked away from him, I keep thinking every guy is the same as him that they'll abuse me I've never felt safe around any man since the abuse started with dad, I mean if my father could do the things he did to me what would other men do?.

"Don't cry sweat baby" he says reaching over to wipe my tears, breaking me from my thoughts. I didn't even realize that I was crying.

"Can I go now?"

"Sure, breakfast should be ready,"

"Okay, thank you," I say, leaving his office

After what felt like years, I finally found the dining room. Food was already on the dining table and so I began eating. Feeling full not long after, I stopped.

"hey human girl," the maid from earlier says, making me jump

"I didn't mean to frighten you, you're so beautiful, that's what I wanted to say," I smile shyly "thanks and so are you, what's your name?"

"it's Kimberly but you could just call me Kim, anyway I gotta get back to work before the King catches me talking to you."

she turns on her heel to leave but I stopped her,

. "Should you not talk to me or something?" I ask, feeling offended. "Listen, he Shouldn't even have you here. Humans should only be food to us. "

She says before living.

I got up from the table and made my way to Tylor's office. I knocked on the door. " Come in"?

" I don't want to be here anymore,"

" why?"

" I'm only food to y'all. I shouldn't be here, also you told Kimberly not to talk to me,"

I left badly. The maid seemed nice living with my dad. I wasn't allowed to have friends.

"it's not like that sweet baby,"

"don't call me sweet baby,"

"but you are,"

"Fine, you're an ugly ass vampire. I thought vampires were supposed to be hot. "

A smirk appeared on his face and he got up from his seat and made his way over to me. I stepped back until my back hit something hard. Oh shit, the wall.

He's now standing in front of me and I can feel myself getting nervous. I started playing with my fingers,

He uses his fingers to lift my face up, his touch sending an unknown sensation in my body

My breathing starts to get hard he now has his hands on my face his hazel eyes locking with mine my knees weak, he smiles showing his pearly whites then licking his soft pink lips, I bit my bottom lip hard as he did that trying to fight the urge that I was feeling to kiss his plumped lips, my face heats when I realized that I've never had the urge to kiss someone before.

He leaned in more, his scent so intoxicating

The king lifts my chin up, his lips so close to mine. Is this going to be my first kiss?. I lick my lips, making sure they weren't dry before closing my eyes, awaiting the kiss.

the kiss never came and so I open back my eyes to see him smirking, a hint of amusement in his eyes

"If I wasn't hot, you wouldn't be in this state right now, sweet baby," he says before kissing me on my cheeks and making his way over back to his desk

I stood there in shock as I regain myself, my breathing finally starting to go back to normal

"he's even hotter up close," I say to myself

"I know," he says smirking

"would you stop reading my mind?,"

"I can't help it, sweet baby, I can't help it,"

I roll my eyes and exit his office. I need to figure out a way to close my mind to this handsome king so he can't read it.

" handsome, huh? "

" shut up bitch,"

" fine, sweet baby,"

The voice in my head mocks. The name isn't half bad. I kinda like it.
