The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 8

Nicolette's POV

"Y-you taught my mom?" I start to stutter. She would never tell me who taught her and I never knew the reason why.

"She never told you?" She questions. "Huh, anyway yes I did teach your mom. I was never part of a coven and I stumbled across your mom when she was still learning how to control her powers. Everyday I would find her in the woods and I would teach her something new about magic."

"So what about the spells. That book that she has filled with nothing but spells. You taught her all of them?" I ask her. The book of spells I've kept since my mom died. Were they all Denali's spells.

"Oh no," she laughs. "She found and made all of those herself. I guess that's means I didn't teach her everything she knows. She spent a lot of time finding and making those spells."

"Did you um know when I was born?" I asked her. She shakes her head and leans back in her chair. I felt uncomfortable siting next to her while she told me about my mom. What if she was lying to me? What if she's not Malcom's mom, but my wolf felt comfortable around here. She had a strong aura around her. She felt like a powerful woman.

"I didn't know when you were born. I didn't even know she had a child until after she passed. After she met your father, she went radio silent. I tried to reach her but she was always hidden, and I now know why. She had you. She wanted to keep you a secret. The wor can I trust you?" I ask her getting out of the chair and backing away. I felt unsafe. She knew what I was. She could easily know all my weaknesses and all the ways she could hurt me. She slowly stands up with her hands up. I backed away more as she started to lift her sleeve up. There was a thin, bright red, line around her wrist, a blood oath.

"Your mother and I made a blood oath a very long time ago. We told each other a lot of things that should never be heard by someone else. We took a blood oath to swear not to repeat whatever we told each other. Since you are her child, I cant tell anyone about you. I lost my magic years ago. I can't do anything to hurt you," she said. It made me feel easier being around her but I still don't completely trust her.

In the distance, I heard a soft panting in the distance. Paws hitting the forest floor heavily. My wolf felt drawn to whoever was coming. Him, Malcom.

"Someone is coming," I said quickly as I still stayed listening to the panting.

"Who?" She asks. She's not a wolf she cant hear these things.

"Malcom he's coming," I said quickly. I heard him slow down and come to a stop at the house. I heard cracking of bones and shifting of clothes.

"I cant be here. I need to leave," I said quickly. I heard the front knob shift and I start to panic

"Go into the kitchen and do your best to hide your wolf's desire for him," she said. As I quickly made my way to the kitchen, my face flushed. My wolf may desire him but I sure as hell don't desire him.

"Hey mom," I heard him say. I stood behind the wall and tried to control

ld's only tribrid," she says. I choke on my spit and almost fall out of my chair.

"It's okay its okay," she said quickly. "I wont tell anyone. I swear I'm not dangerous."

"How my breathing. My wolf pined for his. She tried to call out to him and I tried to control her but it failed.
