Tyler POV

The soft crackling and pops of flames filled my ears as a wave of heat flushed over me. I could see the way that grandpa and dad whispered slowly. The black sky stared back at me, the twinkling blue and white stars helped to put me at ease. Black smoke rose higher into the air as I felt the heat flush over me. "You know it's selfish of you" The casual tone of Dany filled my ears as I looked up from my scattered thoughts to see smoky gray eyes.

She had a protective fury in her eyes as she looked to me and dropped down on the wooden log to the right of me. Her thick golden curls rolled down her back as she leaned into my side. Power radiated off of her body as she looked at me with a weak smile on her face as she looked over to my father and grandfather. "I don't know what is youre talking about?" My tone was cold and confused as I listened in on my father's conversation.

"No, I don't care I'm not going" Outrage bloomed in the voice of my father as I glared at my dad only for a moment before he flashed me a worried stare and I dropped my gaze to the orange flickering flames.

I could see Aj off in the distance there was his coldness that settled in his stare as he looked to be listening as well. Guilt flooded his stare at the thought of him getting caught as well. But the reprimanding tone of Dany's filled my ears ripping me from my thoughts.

"Starving yourself, refusing to sleep, you make him worry too much, I catch him watching him sleep. Be a better son" I rolled my eyes casually as I leaned back on the log letting my eyes flicker over the flames as black smoke danced higher into the air as I took in a long heavy breath letting the smoke fill my lungs as Dany tossed a bottle to me

The soft sound of crickets filled my ears as I looked down at the steel thermos. I could see what was in the tremors but the soft slushing of some kind of thick viscous liquid that I knew had to be blood. "Drink it and take better care of yourself" Her words pooled with venom and bile as she leered at me with dangerous gleaming eyes.

Breathing in sharply I could smell the sickly sweet scent of blood and for the first time in a while, I was acutely aware of the 80 heartbeats that filled the air. Taking in a long heavy breath as I looked over to the thermos resting in my grip, the cool metal felt like heaven as I took in a few tentative sips. The revolting taste of AB filled my mouth and forced my tongue to whip back in disgust. My gag reel kicked up but I forced the blood down my throat.

"Mikeal hasn't stopped being a threat if you have a word of him in London go there get as much information as you can get and take your pack. Tyler has a mother whether you like her or not and you are going to need someone to look after him. While you are gone" Grandpa's voice was dangerous and low like he was tired of hearing him argue.

I ignored the bubbling fear in my stomach and instead focused on the crackling warmth of the fire as I gulped down a few more tentative sips of blood. Glaring at the deep muddy soil I could hear the soft crunches of twigs and the crunching grave that I knew had to be someone's car, as the crunch of rubber against gravel.

"Why can't you watch him?" Dad's panic tone filled my ears as I watched his blue eyes turn cold and pain-filled but there was something about the way that he looked at grandpa that unsettled me. "I'm an Ataliʻi add alpha to this clan. He killed me, killed your stepmother, my children, and my siblings. I will not let him kill you. I'm going with you. There is a chance that Mikeal is there. I'm going with you. Two original hybrids are better than one. Ty comes here right this instance I don't appreciate you eavesdropping."

Taking in his anger that boiled in his tone I knew that he wasn't in the greatest mood as I took in the sight of his jagged eyes locked on me as I started to rise from my spot on my log. Watching him only for a moment I contemplated running away but the soft humming engine saved me from having to run away like a coward.

Slowly making my way over to them I could feel guilt bubbling in my chest as I looked over to dad, he ran a gentle hand along my scalp ruffling my hair as this smug smile pulled at his face. But I could see the rage and hate that flooded his eyes as he glared at me. "I hate that you were eavesdropping but it is better off that you do know. How do you feel about staying with your mother? Are you going to do as you are told?"

Confusion filled my mind as I watched the bright golden white light that was flooding the dirt path that I noticed a black Mercedes Benz staring back at me. I didn't need to see the brown-haired women in the front seat to know that it was my mother.

Taking in a long heavy breath I spoke in a cold voice. "I don't have much of a choice now do I? I'm sorry tama matua I didn't mean to I just didn't want to have a focus on the blood. It is gross. Dad, mom is here, should I go so you too can fight again?"

I knew that my tone was cheeky by the way that his brows furrowed and hate bubbled in his stare. I knew that he didn't think much about my smart mouth. His hand fell to my shoulder as I leered at the black car that was approaching. I could feel the warmth of the engine washing over me as dad spoke in a cold tone. "What would be the bloody point you would just eavesdrop so you might as well stay."

Even as he spoke I watched the door to my mother car fling o[en as grandpa let out a moan as he spoke slowly in Cree. "Niklaus got this human off of my party. I will not abide by the wife of Lockwood."

His voice was menacing and commanding as his eyes cut through me, I knew that there was more than a little bad blood between their pack and grandpas and Dick didn't help any of it. Grandpa liked Mason and even saved his life by feeding him vampire blood. Saving him in the process he has been in the compound ever since.

Looking over my shoulders I could see his black curls stared back at me, his bright golden eyes locked on me as he smiled weakly but my eyes were drawn to my mother who rushed out of the car. Pulling me into a tight hug before I could even think about what was going on.

Her fingers were curling in my hair but I could only feel rage and hate bubbling in my stare as I pushed her away from me the only thing that I wanted was to kill her but I swallowed that murderous urge. Her buddies killed my dad. I wasn't going to forget that no matter how many times I let them live.

"Why have been missing school for the past two weeks baby, you can't just leave like that '' Her voice was brimming with outrage as she gave dad pinning stare fury flared in my eyes as I leered at her. "You can't just take him away from me" Again she yelled at dad without a single thought otherwise.

He rolled his eyes as he pulled me to him. His warmth was overtaking me as he had a protective arm around my shoulders. "My pup, my problems, he needs time. But now we have to head out of town for a few days. My father insisted that Tyler should spend those days with you. Ty you are going to go to your room and pack up your stuff. You will be going home today and be in class tomorrow morning."

I didn't want to but I nodded my head and made my way back to the room but even then I could hear the tension in the air as my grandfather spoke in a low voice. Cree flowing from his lips as he spoke in a cold tone.

"Get her off of my land, Mason, you are going with Niklaus, Niky turns him" His tone was cold and commanding, not the last bit of warmth and love in his voice. Taking a deep breath I started to pack, the last thing that I wanted was to go back to school but I suppose that now I wasn't going to be able to avoid them for a while.

The next morning at school

The roar of people filled my ears as I got out of my car. The jeeps gleaming blue jeep stared back at me as I sat in the parking lot wishing that I wasn't here. But the moment that my eyes locked on Stefan hates flooded my chest.

The leather of my chair felt like heaven against my skin and helped to calm me down, I watched them rushing through the parking lot as I watched Elana latch herself onto Stefan's arm. I slowly began to move into the car and into the bustling parking lot and the shining metal of many cars stared back at me. I let my duffle bag for the football team hang on my shoulder. I wasn't even sure that I was going to be on the team anymore. I wasn't in school for two weeks. Those are two games that I missed.

Making my way down the parking lot the pale white light of the winter sun blared down on me as I looked over to see Caroline glaring at me. Her eyes were wide with doubt as she stared at me in utter wonder. I didn't like the sight of her, in fact, I wanted to wring her fucking neck.

Taking in a long breath I made my way through the parking lot not stopping until I noticed Matt eyeballing me, he was talking to Elana in a low voice as she rubbed her hand mournfully I could see the scar that littered her hand. I could still smell her blood when I closed my eyes. I don't know if it was my hatred but I wanted nothing more than to drain her dry.

It has been a few hours and the day progressed normally when finally my day came to a boiling point. I was tired of them staring it was driving me mad. I could feel my heart thumping in my ears when I couldn't take it anymore. I compelled a bubbly redhead.

We walked to the most sacred place in the school. I'm sure that she thought that we were just going to make out. But I made sure that her eyes were locked on me, I knew that my pupils had to dilate as I looked at her dazzling amber eyes. "Don't make a sound and don't fight back" My tone was commanding and cool as I felt a power building in my chest and my throat burning like it as on fire.

Not a moment later I let my teeth sink deep into her tender flesh. Sweet blood slipped down my throat as I moaned out in hunger biting deeper until I felt her life leaving her body. I knew what I should stop but I couldn't bring myself to care. She was a human, I was a hybrid, she wasn't any more important than a dog. I suckled eagerly until an overwhelming force flung me backward.

There were two people looking over me, one of them began Stefan, his deep brown eyes locked on me as hatred flared in them. He had a hand rested on the blood that seeped out of her collar bone. His eyes turned dark black like the color as he bit down on his left wrist forcing it into her mouth. The person who looked more terrified was Elana. Her brown eyes were wide with doubt as they met my own searing gold.

My wolf was trying to egg me on, forcing me into a frenzy screaming for me to kill them all, I sat up rubbing the blood from my face as I looked over to one last person who stood off the side. Aj, his golden eyes flared with annoyance and outrage, bright green waves of disgust rolled off of his body, the scent of disgust was a lot like sulfur only mixed with the scent of skunks. Glaring coldly at me he spoke in creepiness and the disgust in his eyes told me that he didn't see me as anything more than a vampire.

"You are the grandson of Ansel Atsila and a possible heir to the pack. You will not act like some common vampire get up. I'm taking you home now!" I snarled at him but I pulled myself up off the ground as I glared at him. I wanted to scream but he was right. I was acting like a vampire.

"Go fuck yourself if you want to be the alpha not me, I'll insert the hybrid pack, which is more powerful and I act like a vampire because I'm half-vampire like my father you know the man that you hate. You're not my family despite what grandpa says piss off." I stalked over to Steffan shoving him roughly out of my way as I looked into the dazzling amber eyes of the girl before me.

Her one dimple had a speck of blood on it as I glared at him "You will forget this you won't remember anything except that you were attacked by an animal you are going to go to the hospital and the next time that you see me you will walk in the other direction." I spoke with a booming command.

Even as I spoke I could see the way that her views were changing. Looking at Stefan I spoke in a cold tone. "Get in my way again and I will kill you." I snarled slowly at him before making my way out the field. I could only hope that my father was having better luck than I was.
