Hybrid Hunting by Mariana Mendoza (web ebook reader .TXT) 📕

We, I , we, whatever, walked on through the steep hills of the canyons. The sand was hot as a mother fucking hellhole. Shit, I was beginning to think that this was hell. Yet while all this was going on, I was still confused on my situation.
We were now in Utah, sadly yet gladly away from the Rocky Mountain pack. I was a little heart sick from how me and my ex-lover, Jace (alpha of the pack), had ended. And now, I was going to California, to meet the vampire king, with my newly changed werewolf vampire, Marco.
Worst part about it? We were walking there. I didn’t know how to drive but that damnation of a bastard Marco could but he didn’t have any money.
“ I really want to swat you, Marco, swat you and stick you in a huge piece of amber.” I told him annoyingly. I was panting and sweating like a stuffed chicken. I hadn’t showered for days and all that we had to eat was frickin’ lizard meat, plants, and dirty ass water. It was barely the afternoon and the frickin’ ass hat of a sun was beating down on us, whipping us with lasers of heat. Yeah, really not my best day.
“ My apologies, my lady, I wish I had some way to comfort you. But don’t worry, we’re almost there.” he told me.
I smacked him upside the head the moment he stopped talking. He yelped in pain a little, rubbing his head.
“ I told you not to call me that, Marco. You want me to call you a frickin’ dumb dung beetle?” I asked him irritated by now that he still hadn’t gotten that in his head.
“ My apologies, my la— Nina, I did not mean to anger you. Forgive me.” he said, his head down now.
Marco has been believing that I’m the vampire king’s lost daughter ever since he had escaped rabidhood and returned back to a normal, but scarred, werewolf. The only way I could unbound him from Master was to kill him and then return him to life, but as part vampire. He is now a made were-vamp, like me only not.
You see I’m part part wolf, part vampire, which means I only have a few things that I have inherited from both. Plus, I was naturally born this way. Marco, on the other hand was a werewolf before I turned him, my first changeling (made vamp). Now, as far as I know and think, he’s a full wolf that has full vampire aspects, totally different from me. Either way, we had about the same strength now, though he’s stronger than me. Damn bastard.
“ Do you want to rest?” he asked me.
“ No, you think, you big piece of hellhole slug juice?” I said sarcastically.
He frowned, looking sad at my wards. Ah hell shit pit, he looked like he was feeling sad. I didn’t like seeing Marco sad. He was my first changeling so I didn’t know how our bond and relationship worked. But since he was supposedly one of the vampire king’s guardian warrior, he knew a few things of how this thing worked.
“ Sorry to snap at you, kid, I’m just tired and hungry for real meat and I seriously need a shower,” I held my arms up swatting out little area with stink, “ Look at that, I think that if I don’t shower flies will start thinking me as a traveling hotel. Dung beetles with crawl up my ass soon, too.” I told him.
Marco laughed at that and just lied down on the sandy ground. We were in the grand canyon. A log way from the Rocky Mountains, which took us about a week or two to cross over.
“ Do not worry, once I get to a public telephone, I’ll call the king to ask if he could pick us up.” he said. I looked at him as if he was a poor delusional kid. Poor, poor kid.
“ Oh shit no, you will not get even close to a phone. We’re going to my FWB’s place.” I told him.
“ FWB?” he asked.
I smacked him on the arm. “ It means friends with benefits. He was the first guy I had met when I got out of Master’s grimy hands.” I explained, “ He was the one who taught me and took a lot of my fear away.”
He ached and nodded, as if knowing what I meant, which might be a lie to keep me happy. So far, his lie was working.
“ So what is this friend called?” he asked, curious.
“ I’ll tell you later. All you need to know is that he’s the famous Silent Assassin.” I told him.
Marco choked a little, probably by his tongue. His eyes got really wide and big. It looked as if he was the eye eye, you know, the animal eye eye. It was very amusing but I said nothing.
“ You mean The Silent Assassin? The legit, real person?” he asked.
I nodded, realizing what I had just done. He wasn’t supposed to know about him. But then, he’s mu changeling so I’ll be able to force him not say anything about it.
“ Yeah, but you can’t tell anyone. If you do, we’ll slit your throat ourselves.” I told him.
He nodded. “ He’s the king’s most wanted person but I’ll do as my la— Nina wishes.” he said, catching himself. I nodded in approval.
“ He was the one who took me in when I was battered and he’s taught me not to fear. Plus, he’s my FWB so he’s a very important person to me.” I said, sighing in exhaustion.
Marco looked down at me with a weird expression. I looked up at him, still loving what I saw. Marco’s eyes were deep and black, unlike his wolf’s eyes, which are bright yellow. He had super light brown skin, on the boarder of being peachy-tan white. His dark brown hair covered his eyes, which didn’t really look good on him but he at least did look cute. His jaw bones were sharp and his chin was slightly pointy. He had a normal looking nose and long, slightly thin, pink lips. He was well built too, his shoulders slightly broad and big muscles coming from his shirt sleeves. He was very attractive.
He was looking down at me, as if he was checking me out too. I smiled at that, extremely amused at how he assessed me.
“ You like what you see?” I asked him.
He turned red, then.
“ My apologies Nina, I did not mean to stare at you.” he said.
I laughed and just ruffled his hair as id he was a small child.
“ You don’t have to apologize for every little thing. Only apologize when I say so, okay?” I said.
I stopped there, thinking of my words for a moment. Well hell bell, I just sounded bitchy bossy just now. I so didn’t like it.
After about what seemed like about an hour or so, we got back up and began to walk once more. The sun was still as hot as a boiling water trying to kill a frigging frog. If I was a frog right now, I’d be steamed and dead.
“ Tell me why we’re not walking as wolves again?” I asked him.
“ Because, my la— Nina, wolves don’t live in the Utah canyons and our fur absorbs heat so we could have heatstroke and probably die. We’ll be able to shift and move faster once night falls.” He told me.
“ See, thats where my problem is. I don’t want to be here when night falls. Once we get to the closest thing called civilization, I’ll use the pay phone and call my friend to pick us up. We can stay at his place for a while before we go back to see the king.” I told him.
“ Are you sure your friend will be okay for me to stay there with you?” he asked, concerned.
I liked that, him being worried about not being together. It was cute in a were-vamp way.
“ If I say so, he will and if not, I’ll punch his ass until he accepts. Either way, tonight I will be clean and sleep like a bear.” I told him.
“ Right.” he said, nodding.
I patted his pack and we kept going.

I was very dehydrated and weak and hungry as hell’s ass wanting to fart. But the good thing was that by the time night came, we had found a small town and a pay phone. I was so happy that I actually fell to the side of a light post and began to kiss and caress it. I was that grateful. Some people stopped to watch me and one even photographed me. I didn’t care. I was just glad I was among walking blood bags.
Later, Marco dragged me to the nearest gas station. I went in and asked if I could borrow some change to use the pay phone. I must have been as dirty as a homeless dog with flees up its ass because he gave me a pitying look and gave me the change. I wanted to bite his head off, suck him dry (ha ha, not, not that way you sickos) and then fry his body just to fill me belly. I was glad that I still had high standards, well, what was left of it anyways, to stop myself and leave him.
Marco was waiting for me by the pay phone. I got there and put the change inside. I then dialed his cell number and waited until he answered. I didn’t wait long.
“ Hello, Dr. Awesome talking. Who this?” he asked. Boy, he never changed.
“ Hello Dr. Awesome, Dr. Kick your ass speaking.” I told him.
My friend was quiet for a moment before answering me.
“ Its been a long time since you called me, Nina. You okay? You in trouble. Geez, you loser, why haven’t you called me? Kept me up to date? I want to kill you so bad right now.” he told me.
Marco growled low in throat, not really liking how my friend had threatened me.He wasn’t the only one. I told him that.
“ You ain’t the only one, dude, but I’d love to see you try.” I told my friend.
“ Who’s with you? Is that a wolf or someone chasing you?” he asked, his tone had changed from relaxed to serious and concerned. Somethings never change.
“ I’ll tell you get here. Now hurry up before I freeze to death.” I told him.
I was feeling like popsicle. If he didn’t hurry up he’ll have to lick me to unfreeze me, which won’t be that disturbing since I would kind of like him to do that to me, frozen or not.
“ Nina?” he yelled over the phone.
I held out the phone as far away from my ear as I could. That brought me back to earth. My ears rang from the yell gave me. I realized I should have called him the old yeller the moment I saw him. Poor, poor, old yeller.
Marco didn’t like that either. He suddenly growled and almost took the phone from
