The Hybrid Rogue

The next day, we were all packed and had the information printed out that was needed. Jaxon was coming in and had a package in his arms that was still open.

"Just wondering if you'd like to add anything to this. My lovely other half is a school teacher as you know. She hated the thought that Koray may not be getting enough mind challenges and made up a care package. She insisted." He said smiling. I did have something to give him. In the files were some pictures I had found of him with Henry. He still loved him and Henry did care for him, I wanted to send at least two to him. One was a baby picture of Koray being held by Koray in a rocking chair and the second of a more recent one that we all had taken together not long after my arrival.

"That's actually really sweet of you. To care about the idea of a man that was so cruel to others, but held high honor to this boy." Ryanne says, putting his arms around my waist from behind.

"He was there when I wasn't. He may have been a monster, but he still did some right things." I stated. "I think Jaxon should head a lockdown for the pack here as well while we are gone. Just a simple one. We shouldn't fear much seeing as your pack is actually one of the safest. Call it my first order as Luna. Something just feels off still."

"Understandable. I agree. Jaxon already has those orders. I also have it planned to not actually have me stay at Lycious's place while you are gone. I don't trust it at all and rather not put anyone at risk as well. It is to be a complete lockdown just like Crimson. If they can't get to Crimson or me, they will go after this pack. Margo has protection spells set in place so they, being next on that list, are good to go. I don't even plan to tell you where I will be just in case and I plan to decide last minute. There are rumors, and seeing as most rumors of our kind is true, lycious has the abilities to read minds. The great part is, Nephlem usually can block out psychics, but to be safe, I'm not taking any chances, as I said." Ryanne says as he is getting our luggage to the back of a Black Cadillac Escalade.

The drive was quick to LAX. The great part was, Lycious had his private jet waiting for us. We did have a stop planned in Russia to refuel and then another small one in Ukraine. We might as well get ourselves cozy. Lycious had a few of his own men already with the jet and on board.

It took a while, but we arrived in Romania about 20 something hours later, around 8PM here. There were cars and a limousine waiting for us as the door of the plane opened. The men started to get our luggage to the cars as the driver of the limousine opened the door. A man who reminded me of my father had slid out.

"I take it the flight was smooth. I haven't seen you since you were first born Azula. Your father had contacted me due to his father's death and your birth. He told me of your origin for the most part, of what he knew. Anyways, we have plenty of time for stories. For now, let's get back to my home and allow you some sleep. Jet leg can still be a pain in the ass." He says gesturing us to climb into the limousine.

We pull up to a freaking castle and my jaw drops. It's amazing! "Ah, home. Cetatea de Baltă, it's only open for reservation visits for reasons. My brother isn't as smart. He was for a bit. He lives at his son's old castle. Vlad the third, or Vlad the Impaler, was his son. I'm not allowed the obviously, and neither is our kind, for that matter."

"Its beautiful. Does that mean your brother is technically Vlad the Second?" I ask.

"Yes, he lived among the humans again that time period. Even faked his own death and his demon mate was the mother of Vlad the third. They had others, but he only wanted his sons. It took some convincing on my part for him to keep one daughter. In total he kept five of his children. Only one was to carry on as his heir to the throne. Vlad the Impaler was his choice, obviously. Then that whole bull crap Stoker did, I had a great laugh at that one. Now I laugh at all the new vampire movies! Fucking shining in the sunlight! Ha! That's just perfect! I called up my brother when those came out and asked him if he sparkled like a fairy! He hasn't talked to me since!" Lycious was in all out hysteria. We couldn't help, but join in the good laugh.

"Well there's movies about our kind, too, with wrong beliefs. I'm sure he tries to make fun of those." Ryanne says through laughs.

"Not anything as bad as his!" We all start laughing harder having a hard time breathing. Its true. Nothing is as bad as the things human makeup of vampires is anything like they say about werewolves.

"Well, I think it helps that we handle most of the movies that do get out there." Ryanne says when our laughter is settled enough.

"That is very true. Pretty much everywhere there are movie studios, it's on pack lands. Like your's, you have hollywood of all places! Makes me really proud about that!" He smiles and pats Ryanne on the shoulder. "Anyways, we should all get some sleep. I will see you, Azula, in the morning."

"Ryanne plans to sight see and shop when we leave. Play the tourist part, is that ok?" That was a good plan when we mind linked it carefully.

"Yes, there's a town with some shops not far, he can be dropped off even before we head to meet my brother." Lycious smiles. We depart and as soon as our heads hit the pillows, we were asleep.
