Zelda's Pov

I couldn’t sleep.

Not after what I heard.

I sat at the edge of my bed, phone in hand, still shaking. I didn’t even know why I went there. I mean, I did. I just hadn’t expected that.

Earlier that day, after how Maya had shut me down publicly, I remembered she and Louis were having a fallout. So, I thought, why don't I mess around a little, paying her back in a way that's going to hurt.

I approached one of Louis’s friends in the hallway. Luke. He's one of the dudes Louis hangs around with at school. He's been into me for a while now… I mean, who wouldn't be? I smiled my best fake smile and asked casually, "Hey, do you know where Louis lives?"

He hesitated. Probably knew I was up to something.

"Why?"

"Just want to return something," I lied.

He still wouldn’t give it up. So I pulled a twenty out of my wallet and dangled it in front of him. Bribery always worked with boys like him.

He gave me the street and house number.

But before I walked away, he added, "You probably should

    Maya's PovI left Louis’s house angry. Not the loud kind. The quiet, cold, gut-deep kind that makes your legs shake even when you keep walking like nothing’s wrong.My mind was a mess. How won’t it be when I was just told I wasn’t human. That I was something else. A werewolf. As if that word could fit neatly into my life.I didn’t want to think about what he said. I didn’t want to remember the way his eyes changed. Or how he said he loved me.I hated him for it. And hated myself for not hating him enough.I walked straight home. Same street. Same porch. Nothing had changed, except me.Mrs. Hawke opened the front door before I could. "Maya!” She greeted me with that half-sweet, half-distracted voice she always used when half-watching the news. “There you are. I didn’t know you’d gone out.”I didn’t answer.She gave me a worried look. "Maya darling? Are you okay?”I didn’t turn. I didn’t nod.I made it to my room, shut the door behind me and slid down with my back pressed against it.He

    Louis's PovI left school early.Didn’t even wait for the bell. Just walked out and kept moving, ignoring the stares from kids too curious and too nosy for their own good. I had things to do, things that couldn’t wait.My wolf, Tyler, paced restlessly beneath my skin.Maya’s coming.He kept repeating it like a mantra.I cleaned up the living room, closed the blinds, and locked the back door. My fake parents were out on some business trip. Couldn't quite tell if it was fabricated or real but it had something to do with real estate. It gave me time. Privacy. Control.When I got to my room, I did a final sweep, cleared my desk, stashed the small silver ring I usually kept hidden. Wouldn’t want Maya accidentally brushing against that and triggering something violent. Not yet.While arranging, I felt a shift in the air before she even knocked, I knew she was on the porch.Her scent hit me in waves, bright, charged, slightly off-kilter like her emotions were tangled in barbed wire. She wasn

    Louis's PovShe fainted in my arms right after the shift.Not the gentle kind either. Not the cinematic fall-into-his-chest type.Her entire body buckled, like something inside her had finally snapped loose and didn’t know how to piece itself back together.Tyler, my wolf, had howled in triumph the moment her red wolf emerged, but the joy didn’t last long.She collapsed, still halfway in her other form, still leaking adrenaline and moonlight. I held her close, checked her pulse, pressed my hand against her sweat-soaked cheek. Her skin burned like fire, then dropped to ice in under a minute.She was alive. I knew that much. But something was wrong. Something I couldn’t explain.We weren’t alone.There was a shift in the air. The scent was faint, too faint. One of ours. A wolf, no question.I didn’t look. Didn’t acknowledge. Just scooped Maya up and held her tighter.If it was who I thought it was, they’d report back. Word would spread faster than wildfire now, she’d shifted. She’d awak

    Maya’s PovIt had been three days since I met up with Sienna in the school cafeteria.Three days of trying to pretend everything was normal, whatever normal meant for me now, while ignoring the persistent feeling that something was profoundly, irrevocably different.Sienna hadn’t been the only person I’d turned to. She did what any good friend would do. She referred me to people, real people. A therapist. A psychologist.They all nodded and listened then said the same thing, in slightly different ways: trauma, stress, neurological misfires.The hallucinations were symbolic, my body processing grief.“It’s your mind trying to process something overwhelming.”“It’s not real.”“It’s a form of dissociation.”But I hadn’t opened up to them, not entirely.How could I, when I'm this scared of what it is myself?How could I admit I was hearing a voice in my head, a voice that seemed… alive?Meanwhile, my senses were sharper; I noticed every movement, every conversation across the school corri

  • DISCOVERING I'M A HYBRID LUNA   CHAPTER FIVE

    Maya’s PovI remember thinking it was all a dream, a perfect dream, the kind you wish you’d gotten stranded in.The feeling was pure happiness; pure peace.I was in the clearing with Louis. The Moon was full and rich purple, coloring everything in its glow. His silhouette seemed taller, more majestic against the purple-black heavens. His piercing brown eyes glimmered warmly when I turned back to him.We made love under the midnight heavens, without a care in the world. The worries I’d been battling seemed distant; all I felt was the rush of happiness in simply being close to him, him holding me firm.He pressed his forehead against mine in a silent vow, we were meant to be.My pulse trembled under my skin; something wild and exhilarating flowed through me.Then… something shifted.My senses suddenly opened up, I could smell the sap beneath the bark of nearby trees, the earth beneath my feet.My hair fell forward in thick red coils, growing, lengthening, thickening, until it flowed pas
