"Umm... If we're moving on then there's something you should probably know...." Kayden started out, his heartbeat accelerating.

"Why are you nervous? Your hearts beating so fast."

That's... not normal.

"Why can I hear your heartbeat?"

Dylan drew in a deep breath " That's what we need to tell you."

"You should be dead right now, Vanessa."

"W-what? Then why-"

"Before your heartbeat stopped Dylan and I bit you."

"Well, that's kind of creepy, but I don't know what it has to do with me not being dead."

Kayden narrowed his eyes at me. "One, we weren't being creepy. Two, it has everything to do with it considering, I'm a vampire and he's a werewolf," he said jutting his thumb out at Dylan.

"Bullshit."

"No, not bullshit. Kai, can you make some room?"

Kai raised his hand and the furniture glided across the floor and against the wall.

"Kai!" I hissed.

What the hell was he thinking?!

"What? They already know."

My jaw dropped when Dylan started stripping. I was torn between wanting to look and covering my eyes.

Dylan smirked, "You can look if you want."

Dylan was now only covered by his snug looking black boxers.

"What are you doing?"

"Just watch."

Suddenly Dylan's body began to morph, and in his place was a black wolf with silk fur and striking green eyes. It was absolutely fascinating. Shit! He really was werewolflf! I reached my hand out to pet him, and smiled when I was rewarded with a low purr.

"Your turn." I said turning toward Kayden.

Kayden nodded and strode over to me until we were face to face. He paused to stare at me before smiling real big. I was confused until I saw them, fangs. I should probably be freaked out right now, but I was a witch, so I guess anything could happen at this point. I reached out and gently traced his lips and his now, sharpened teeth.

"Ouch."

A drop of blood landed on his bottom lip. Kayden merely smiled before licking his lip and my finger. Honestly, instead of being grossed out that was oddly seductive.

"Okay, so let me get this straight. You're a vampire and Dylan's a were-wolf, correct?"

They both nodded, although I think that's all Dylan could do in his current form.

"And you both bit me?" After a guilty pause, they both nodded.

"So what happens to me?"

Dad sighed. "We don't know, honey. We have to figure that out. For all, we know you might not even be able to use magic anymore."

My heartbeat sped up at the thought of not being able to use magic again. A world without magic seemed miserable.

Dad noticed my panic. "Why don't you try a spell?"

""

Bright blues, radiant reds, and neon greens danced across my hand. I gently blew and watched them scatter swirling around my friends and family. I sighed in relief. I could still do magic!

"What's going on? I feel kind of happy." Ava said

"I feel it too. I kinda wanna dance." Sage said

"You definitely haven't lost you magic." Avery commented

I smiled and called the orbs of light back to me. Everyone watched in awe as they merged into me. Each color was apart of me- apart of my essence. I just wanted to give everybody a bit of happiness.

"Okay, so lets see if we can pull out a wolf, shall we?" Dylan said returning to his human, stark naked.

Chloe and Sadie let out wolf whistles while all the guys groaned.

"Man cover that up!"

Kai shook his head and zapped some clothes onto Dylan. And they were real clothes, not an illusion! I need to get him to teach me that!

"What usually gets you out of control?" Levi asks.

Dylan shrugged his shoulders "I guess the people we love being threatened."

My dad heaved himself off of the couch.

"Okay, lets see what I can do."

My dad was deep in thought before he began mumbling under his breath, what I assume to be a spell. I was instantly consumed by darkness. Then an image appeared before me. My family, Leila, Dylan, and Kayden with their family. They all wore happy, smiling faces that warmed my heart. I smiled as I watched them.

I startled as the image began to morph. Their bodies were all sprawled across the ground. Blood. Blood was everywhere. My heart caught in my chest. I couldn't handle something happening to them. I tried running to them, but no matter how fast I ran, how far I pushed myself, they only seemed to get farther away.

Something sinister loomed over their lifeless bodies before giving me a toothy smile that left me shuddering. The figures' smile only seemed to grow larger at the look of horror on my face. It began to shake uncontrollably and I didn't know what to make of it until I realized that he was laughing. I was getting ready to yell, scream, make the figure understand my rage when he flicked his wrist, and everything went to flames.

I finally found my voice and cried out. The people I loved, they were all gone. Immense power came over me and I let out out a yell of fury, but it sounded more like garble howl. The image began to fade and I howled even louder, until I was thrown back into the living room.

"What the hell did you just show her." Kayden asked

"Nothing. whatever she saw, was conjured by her own mind. I just kickstarted whatever it was." Dad replied.

My mom walked over to me a look of awe on her face. I cocked my head to the side in confusion, before I realized I must of shifted. Sadie whipped out her phone and took several pictures of me.

"You might wanna take a look at this." She said showing me her phone.

My fur was pure white and my olive green eyes gleamed. And as conceited as it sounded, I looked beautiful. I finally turned to Dylan, he had been quiet this whole entire time, and I wasn't sure what to make of his silence. Did he not like it? The thought made me whimper.

"No way!" He finallly gasped.

"What's wrong?" Kayden asked

"Nothings wrong. It's just that white wolfs are incredibly rare. White wolfs are said to be kissed by the moon." Dylan replied still in awe.

Kayden frowned.

"Honestly, nothings wrong like he said. Dylan's just in shock, it's not everyday that your mate is blessed by the moon in such an extreme way." Ava said.

Kayden reached out and began stroking my fur and I let out a content noise.

"Beautiful."

I felt my body slowly start to shift and sent Kai a pleading glance. Kai smiled and I felt the clothes materialize on my body.

"Thanks." I said sending him a grateful smile.

Mason huffed "Man, I was looking forward to that!"

Chloe reached over Sage and smacked her brother.

"Stop being stupid."

"Okay, that's two down, Wanna try for three?" Kayden asked

"I'll take care of this one." Kai said kneeling in front of me.

He reached behind him and pulled out a pocket knife. I watched transfixed as he gently slid it across his wrist and held it out to me. The smell of his blood hit me and an undeniable thirst consumed me. He smelled so sweet. I cautiously stuck my tongue out before gripping his wrist and sucking. I moaned at the taste of rich cinnamon and delicate spice, that had my taste buds exploding. Kai shifted and I paused. I didn't want to hurt him. I pulled away and licked both his wound nd my lips.

Kai smirked, "How was it?"

"Delicious. You taste like cinnamon."

Kai chuckled before kissing my forehead. He waved his hand over the wound, healing it.

"So, how does it feel?" Mason asked

"How does what feel?"

Mason smiled "Being a bad-ass hybrid."

I laughed "Well I sure as hell don't recommend it. The process hurts like a bitch!"

Everyone burst into fits of laughter, My mom came into the room and handed me a cup of hot chocolate. I was getting ready to thank her when she flicked my ear.

"Mama! What was that for?" I asked pouting

"For scaring the shit out of me!"

"Sorry, mama." I said leaning into her

She smiled and kissed my forehead before returning to her spot next to my dad.

"Okay, I'm not going to pretend that everythings just going to go back to normal. From what I gather Astrazia is going to be pissed when they cant find my body. We also need to figure out who the hell ran me over."

My dad smiled "That means we have a lot of work to do."
