"Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today. I'm gonna be a part of it, New York, New York…These vagabond shoes, are longing to-"

"I swear to god, if you don't shut up, I will tear your trachea out and shove it up your ass." After Aiden's threat, Austin immediately stopped singing.

They had been driving nonstop, for one day and fifteen hours. Well, if you don't count the twenty minutes stops every two hours. They may be on an important mission, but that doesn't stop Troy and Gabriella from acting on their sexual urges. They were only one hour away, and the werewolves in the car could already smell the repugnant smell that is New York City.

Nathan gagged, trying not to puke. "It's times like this when I wish we had a witch."

Gabriella, who had just woken up from a nice nap, looked up at Troy, waiting for an explanation. "Witches can perform a spell on an item, like a necklace, or a ring, so when you wear it, the spell dulls our heightened smell and hearing. We're smelling things that no one should have to smell. And there are so many noises."She leaned into his shoulder while looking out the window, content with his explanation.

Troy kept one hand on the wheel while putting the other around her shoulders. "No, no, no. I'm not going to wait ten or twenty minutes at a pit stop for you two to have sex. Not when we're so close." Aiden said as he attempted to pull Gabriella away from Troy. Troy practically barked when Aiden touched her, and he immediately let go and held up his hands in his defense. "Ok, ok. Just don't get too touchy feely."

Aiden sat back against his seat, and Troy pulled Gabriella back to him, putting his eyes back on the road, and a cold expression on his face. Gabriella however stayed quiet, when Aiden touched her, she felt like her skin was being burned. It hurt a lot. But it was probably just her imagination.

"So where are we staying this time? It better not be the plaza, those maids are sensitive. One little pillow rips, and they go nuts."

Gabriella giggled lightly at Nathans' words. "I brought a loft in the building next to the Orion. Five rooms, three bathrooms, a terrace, and it's on the top floor."

"Three bathrooms? How the hell are we going to swing that?" Austin asked, obviously proud of his word use.

"I don't know, and I don't care. But if any of you use the bathroom in my room, I will rip your dicks off. And you" He looked down at Gabriella. "are not allowed to use the other bathrooms, especially during the night."

Gabriella raised an eyebrow. "Troy. You can't honestly think you can tell me where I can and can't go to the bathroom."

Troy was silent for a moment before letting out a frustrated sigh. "Fine. But you can't take showers in the other ones. I'll be damned if anyone sees you walking around in a towel."

"Fair enough." Gabriella said with a tiny giggle.

.

"Damien, my love, I feel a presence has entered the city. It's a pack, and another, who I can't seem to place."

"Morgause, you know I can't be bothered with some petty minded canines."

"It's Bolton." The sing-song voice of the enchantress made the vampire sit up.

A grin found its way on his handsome face. "Finally. I've been waiting long enough for him to find me. Who's the other with them?" When he got no answer, he practically barked. "Who is it?"

"They're clouded from my vision. I can't see them."

Morgause words made him growl in anger and impatience. "Find out who it is!"

.

Gabriella looked out the window, completely enthralled by the sight of the one of the most famous cities in the world. "Wow."

"You like it?" Troy said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

With a happy sigh, she leaned back against him. "Yeah, it's amazing. I've never really been in a city before."

Troy smiled. "I'm glad you like it, because we're probably going to be here for a while."

Gabriella was silent for a moment before turning around in his arms. "Why are we here exactly?"

"There's a powerful vampire that lives in the building next to us. We've been looking for him for a while…There are a lot of vampires here, and we're going to meet up with the Werewolf pack of this city and talk to them tonight. Weres tend to get antsy when another pack comes onto their territory." Troy sounded a little serious.

Gabriella smiled sheepishly up at him. "I'm sorry I don't already know these things."

Troy leaned down and captured her lips for a soft kiss. "I don't expect you to."

A knock on the door stopped them from having another kiss. Troy sighed and went to open the door. "We're meeting Ian and his pack at their club in a few hours." Nathan said as Gabriella crept closer to hear them.

"We'll leave in an hour." Troy said before shutting the door and turning around to come face to face with Gabriella.

She had a little smile on her face. "I'm coming with you."

Troy opened his mouth to protest, but she raised an eyebrow, and he eventually realized that she was going to come with them, no matter what he said. "Fine…But you can't leave my side for one second." Gabriella stood on her tippy toes and pecked his lips. "I'll go tell Elijah to buy you a dress and makeup."

She blinked a few times. "Dress?"

He nodded his head, slightly distracted by her lips. "They don't let girls in unless they're wearing a dress."

"That's terrible…And this place actually gets business?"

Troy couldn't help but grin. "It's one of the best clubs in the city." He knew she was debating wither or not to go now.

She cleared her throat. "Well, I'll just have to pull through for one night." Troy was about to lean down and kiss her, but a knock on the door interrupted them, again. Gabriella went over to open it, but Troy beat her to it with a smug grin. She stuck her tongue out at him as he chuckled.

"Here's a dress and makeup." Troy raised an eyebrow. "I assumed she would want to come." Elijah said as he handed Troy a bag before going to get ready himself.

Troy looked down at the bag before turning back to Gabriella. "This is yours. It's for tonight." She took the bag and then looked at him expectantly. "What?"

"Aren't you going to give me some privacy?"

He raised an eyebrow. "So I can make love to you, but I can't see you get dressed?"

Gabriella rolled her eyes with a little smile. "I've never worn a dress before, or makeup. I want to see it for myself first, and then you can see."

"Fine." He cupped her face and gave her a nice soft, loving kiss before leaving.

.

"She's coming with us?" Austin asked as he took a sip of his scotch, laced with blood.

Nathan chuckled. "You are so whipped."

Troy narrowed his eyes mockingly. "She's my mate."

"Let me get this straight…You want your unbelievably hot, human, mate, who somehow plays a factor in the ending of the war, to go to a club that's possibly full of bloodthirsty vampires, and potentially dangerous werewolves…Does anyone else seem to think that this is a bad idea." Aiden seemed to be a little agitated.

Elijah put a calming hand on his shoulder. "She has us to protect her."

Troy nodded his head. "I won't let her leave my side for one second…I'm aware of where we're going and the fact that she is extremely attractive. If it were up to me, she wouldn't leave that room."

The sound of a fast beating heartbeat made everyone turn to the door Gabriella was coming out of. "I'm ready." She was wearing a dark red tube top dress that clung to her curves, stopped just above her knees, and made her breasts look very prominent. Her eyes were dark, as were her lips. She looked like a seductress of the night. "Do I look okay?"

It was silent for a few moments. Troy was debating wither to cover her up and make sure no male could ever see her so beautiful again, or tearing her dress off and fucking her against the wall right there and then. "Wow." Nathan whispered as a slight bulge grew in his pants. Troy turned his head and growled. Nathan held up his hands in his defense. "Involuntary reaction, I am not a robot."

Troy growled at all of them as a warning before taking his jacket off and putting it around Gabriella. He leaned down to her ear and whispered. "If you so much as bite your lip or bend over, I will not hesitate to fuck you raw." Gabriella sucked in a sharp breath, feeling the wetness pool between her thighs. Troy nipped at her ear and growled lowly at the smell of her arousal.

Austin cleared his throat, reminding them that they were not alone. Gabriella realized that they probably heard what Troy whispered to her. She opened her mouth to say something, but instead she tightened Troy's jacket around her, trying her best not to blush. "We should go." Elijah said after a moment of silence.

Troy took her hand, pulling her close. "Don't let go."

.

"This is despicable." Elijah said as they watched a drunken couple trying to stick their tongues down each other's throats.

Gabriella noticed Austin had a disgusted frown on. "What's wrong?"

Austin looked down at her for a moment. "The vampires here are what we consider contaminated blood. They're just punks who don't know the meaning of the word honor, history, respect, or rules. They just do as they please, thinking that because they're now immortal they can do anything they want. All they do is drink, party, wreck havoc, and get…They give pure blood vampires a bad name."

Gabriella considered it for a moment. Looking at the vampires drunk and stumbling everywhere, then looking at Austin, who was poised, calm, patient, collected. She could see what he meant.

Troy growled at a couple of guys who passed by and openly gawked at Gabriella. She tightened her hand in Troy's, feeling a little uncomfortable with all the stares. But she also noticed the number of females that were staring at Troy. He too noticed the girls staring at him and could feel Gabriella's uneasiness. "You have no need to be jealous."

"Neither do you." She whispered back harshly, not liking getting caught being a little jealous.

Troy chuckled lowly. "There's a big difference. These animals are stronger then you. I can kill those girls without even lifting a finger."

Gabriella blinked a few times. The realization that Troy's probably killed people finally comes to her. "You've killed before." She wasn't asking a question, just stating the fact.

"Ian's waiting for us." Aiden said, interrupting Troy before he could answer, as they started walking to the VIP room in the back.

There was a handsome guy, with bright yellow eyes, and shoulder length brown hair. He was sitting on a plush loveseat with two girls on both sides of him. Around the room were five other men, all who had a woman or two. Gabriella assumed that they were the pack, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Ian, the one on the loveseat, noticed them walk in. He gave his boys a little look, and all the girls were ushered out. "Ah, the legendary hybrid…It's been a long, long time. Couple centuries if my memory serves me correctly. Imagine my surprise when I heard you wanted to talk to me." His voice was low, and he spoke in a slow meticulous way. Gabriella was confused. He was talking about Troy as if he was Harry Potter. "And this must be your…beautiful mate."

Everyone could hear the low growl that originated from Troy. But Ian only smirked. "We've come to discuss your vampire problem."

"Damien."

Troy nodded. "He's been a thorn in our side since the beginning…I'm simply here to inform you that we will be around, and if you wish to aid us, you may."

Ian looked at his pack, silently communicating with them. "You know I'd hate to miss an opportunity to hang with you, even at the risk of war. Consider us at your disposal." His smirk made Gabriella a little uncomfortable.

Troy and Ian gave each other a nod, the tension in the room disappearing immediately, as the packs get reacquainted with one another. Ian held his hand out to Gabriella, who looked up at Troy before taking it. He brought her hand up to his lips, knowing that it would anger Troy. "I'm Ian. And it is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Gabriella looked up at Troy, ignoring the pain that shot though her when Ian touched her, and hooked her arm through his. "Do I not know something?" Troy noticed Ian grin at the angelic sound of her voice.

"I have to admit. After all these years, I never thought you'd find her…And now that you have, I must admit that she is more beautiful than I thought she would be." Ian looked her up and down a few times, prompting Troy to tighten his jaw.

Gabriella looked up again, confusion written all over her face. "Troy?"

Ian looked between Troy and Gabriella. "You haven't told her? That's strange; the women tend to fall at our feet when they find out."

"Forgive me for not taking advice from someone who killed their mate." Gabriella gasped lightly.

Ian grinned at Troy's words. "Tamara was weak, moral, blond. She was a good fuck for while. But if I didn't kill her then, I would have eventually. You on the other hand have found the perfect mate."

Troy looked down at his side. "Mates need each other physically. It's a little rare when mates are attracted to each other emotionally, mentally and physically." He explained, seeing her confusion.

"Aw. She's so naïve, it almost makes her hotter. You can get away with anything. Saying you can have two mates is what I would do." It was obvious Ian was having fun.

"We're staying next to the Orion. Stop by sometime." Troy said sharply as he started walking out with Gabriella. Ian grinned and walked back to his little couch, the girls from before coming back in and the party starting up again.

Elijah, Nathan, Austin, and Aiden watched, wanting to follow their alpha, but knowing that he and his mate needed to talk, alone. They knew it was a bad idea to lie to her, but they were afraid she would freak out.

.

Gabriella walked in their room, feeling a little uneasy from the silent ride home. She took off the dress and put on one of her giant button down shirts. It went down right below her thighs, making it look like a dress. She looked at the door to see Troy watching her.

She looked down as she rolled the sleeves up. "Troy, I've trusted you since the beginning…I'm starting to think I should never have trusted you at all."

Troy was in front of her in a flash, cupping her face and kissing her hard. "Don't ever say that again." He whispered against her lips.

She backed away from him, not being able to think clearly with him so close. "Then what do you want me to say Troy. You've done nothing but keep me in the dark, and now, apparently, you've lied to me too…I came to New York because of you. I gave my virginity to you. And I've changed my life because of you…All I want you to do, is tell me the truth."

He was silent for a few moments, walking back and forth a few times. "Okay…It started with one vampire, one werewolf, and one hybrid. Ian is the original werewolf, Damien is the original vampire…and I'm the original hybrid."

She waited for more, like a shocking twist. "That's it? That's the secret you didn't want to tell me."

"Ian and Damien bred more of their kind. But I didn't. I'm the only hybrid in existence…I'm more powerful then Damien and Ian, and they know that. Ian and I are on ok terms, but Damien is, forgive the cliché, my mortal enemy. He's dangerous, and I need to kill him…What we told you before, about the history of the war, that was a lie. But there really was a prophesy; and it said a battle, unlike any other would occur, involving all the species. And the mate of the hybrid would either be the cause of it, or she would stop it."

Gabriella looked at him for a moment. It wasn't really much of a lie. But it still hurt. "Why did you lie to me?"

He shook his head, a guilty look on his face. "I was afraid you would get scared and freak out…Damien wants you dead."

"So you decided to bring me to the city he lives in?" She was so confused. None of this was making any sense.

"I'm going to kill him first." Troy said as he walked closer to her, his voice rising slightly.

A theory went through her mind, and it made her angry. "Am I the bait?"

Troy froze. His mate believed he wanted to do her harm, and it hurt him to think that she didn't trust him anymore. "No. I would never allow that…You're here, because I can't survive a minute away from you, but I needed to come here. I need to finish what Damien started a long time ago." Gabriella stared at the ground for a moment. Feeling the dread she felt a few moments ago disappear. Troy noticed her change and brought her close, wrapping his arms around her as her cheek pressed against his hard chest. "I'm so, so sorry I lied. I won't do it ever again."

She let out a scoff like laugh. "You better not."

They stayed like that for a few moments. "I love you."

She looked up, and gave him a small smile. "I know I shouldn't, but I love you too."

Troy gave her a tiny smile. "We just had our first fight."

She raised an eyebrow. "And you're expecting make up sex?" At the sight of his smile turning into a smug smirk, she stood on her tippy toes to brush her lips against his before leaning back down. "I saw a bookstore across the street."

"You're lucky you're so hot." Troy said after a few moments of hesitation. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her face light up while she went to grab jeans. He put his coat back on and opened the door for her, knowing the cheesiness of it would make her roll her eyes. She was practically skipping to the elevator. "What's so special about books?"

Gabriella paused for a brief moment. "Please tell me you've read a book."

He chuckled. "Of course I have. I just never really saw what was so special about them."

"When I read something, it immediately translates into pictures in my head. It's like watching a movie." She explained as Troy took her hand.

They walked across the street, ignoring the guys staring lustfully at Gabriella and the girls staring longingly at Troy. "So watch a movie instead." He still didn't quite understand her love of books. Gabriella only smiled at him as he opened the bookstores door for her.

.

Damien looked down at the hundreds of people walking the streets. He turned his head to the left, a little annoyed to see the whore still in his bed. He contemplated killing her before looking back down and seeing Troy walk out of a bookstore. He was holding hands with a beauty, and Damien immediately knew that she was his mate. Not only was she beautiful, she seemed to have a glow.

The envy and rage started to build. Not only was Troy the most powerful, he also now has the most beautiful woman. Ever since the beginning Damien has hated Troy. And that stupid prophesy only gave him more of a reason to start a war. Vampires have it harder then Werewolves. Werewolves don't need human blood to survive, except for those pussy vampires who drink animal blood. But Werewolves were never hunted as much as vampires and they can go in the sun. Now Damien is the only vampire that can walk in the sun, but that doesn't mean he won't fight for his race.

Troy has the best of both worlds. So, ever since the beginning, Damien has been searching for a way to become a hybrid. And after centuries, he finally found one of the original witches, and after a little compulsion, she was his for the taking.

Morgause le Fay, the elder sister of the infamous Morgana le Fay. While it's a well known fact that Morgana le Fay has been missing for centuries, her sister has just been under the radar. And Damien is extremely handsome, and very charming. It didn't take much to get Morgause to be his.

She told him that the only way to become a hybrid was to use the blood of the original hybrid. Now Troy would never willingly give his blood to Damien, so there was only one other option. Threaten to kill his mate.

He waited years for Troy to finally find his mate; and now that it's happened. He wasn't going to let the opportunity go.

But Damien never expected Troy's mate to be so goddamn beautiful.

I know it's a little short. But I hate waiting for chapters when I like a story, so I didn't really want any of you to wait too long.

Please review. I really like to know what people think.

I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
