Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 22 : In His Arms
"C'mon, Your Highness! It's been three days. You can't avoid her for the rest of her life!" Maia, as per usual, entered my room to check on me. After the dinner, which was more of a roasting session, I preferred to keep my distance. Cami's tone when she had said, 'You aren't his first and you won't be his last,' sounded like a challenge, or maybe even a threat. Maia had told me that Cami was the mayor's daughter back in Hoarfrost's main capital and that the girl was well-connected to the Alpha King. Once I knew that, I wanted to keep away from her. Who knew what she would dig up about my real identity. "I'm not avoiding anyone, Maia. I'm homesick, that's all." It was a plausible excuse, and I couldn't have someone as talkative as Maia knowing the real reason."In that case, then, you need to be cured!" Maia jumped up and down excitedly and by now I knew what this reaction meant. She had an idea...."More retail therapy?" I joked, but the memories of trying on twen
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 23 : The Marriage is Over
**Leonardo POVI received a text from Cami. It was a picture of the girl I'm supposed to marry with Jeremiah, who was shirtless. I didn't believe that sh*t from the moment I saw it, but I wanted to know what was going on. The girl looked terrified next to him and I understood this was all to rouse me up. And it worked. I knew Cami was going to stir trouble the minute she got here. Besides just Cami, I was sick and tired of all these goddamned people at my new house. My brother waltzed in here, threw some sort of sh*tty party without asking, and even worse was his taste in music: EDM.Walking over to the pool area, I scanned for my brother. I noticed him shooting the sh*t in a private cabana in the back with a few women who look ready to ride up and down his d*ck.August was always Father's favorite and he knew it too. It gave him the freedom to do whatever the f*ck he wanted, knowing I'd be the one to shoulder the consequences.All because my father coul
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 24 : He's Not Who I Thought He Was
**Amber POVI didn't want him to see me like this.I was ashamed, humiliated, and tired of having a target on my back.I wanted to go back to my life before, as a maid, where no one noticed me. I felt safer that way. Now, I felt so open, vulnerable, and exposed.When the prince came in and saw tears flowing from my eyes, I cowered away from him. It wasn't because I didn't appreciate his effort to save me. It wasn't because I was scared of his proximity. In fact, I wished he was closer. It was because I knew that no matter how invigorating it felt to be held in his arms, to be nestled against his chest, that his actions were out of responsibility, and not out of love. They were out of duty, not out of kindness.He rescued me, but I presumed it was just because he needed me alive for his pack's treaty.We hadn't made an effort to see each other since the dinner and it seemed like we had understood what our purpose was: to co-exist until the we
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 25 : Chasing After Him
I released a long sigh and decided this may have been my only chance to find out what was going on. I had to go. I had slowly treaded forward towards the pool when I caught sight of Cami and Jeremiah.They were in the hot tub fondling each other. I had no desire to see them right now and that also meant that I couldn't talk to Prince August, who was only a few feet away from them.As I was about to head back into the compound, I overheard Cami mention my name as well as Prince Leonardo's. I walked quietly back near the gate and hid behind an evergreen bush to listen."You know they're only together because of the peace treaty. It's basically a contract marriage," Cami said with venom in her cadence. Then she slapped Jeremiah, who was poking her under the water. "Be serious!" she warned.Jeremiah laughed with a gravelly tone and answered, "That's no secret, Cami. Alpha told us that before we got here. What's more interesting is that he actually is going along with it
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 26 : Meeting My Wolf
Luckily I was wearing a pair of flats, better for running, but my red dress that I chose in the spirit of date night didn't exactly help me blend into my surroundings. I headed into the wall of trees that towered over the rest stop. It was the only direction I felt had enough natural hiding places where I could escape from Jean, who surely would have the whole town looking for me once he finished relieving himself.If only I had my wolf like everyone else my age; I could have blended into the forestry easier. I surely wasn't about to strip down and take my dress off to blend in.I wondered many times why I couldn't shift. Even Lily had shifted already, but we weren't biological sisters, so that could have had something to do with it. I wasn't jealous that she got her wolf before me, I was more anxious about whether or not the time would ever come.Maybe my birth parents were human and I never would find my fated mate. That saddened me more than never being able to shift.
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 27 : My Fated Mate
**Leonardo POVI had arrived in the cavern without even knowing what drew me there. My feet thundered over the forest floor, my intuition guiding me all the while my conscience was set aside, left on autopilot. When I entered and found the red-eyed wolf standing over her, a rare tawny-colored wolf, I knew right away that it was her. Instinctively I rushed forward to fight off the demon attacking her, but she managed to defend herself which impressed me. The girl was tougher than I gave her credit for and I was impressed by her close combat skills.As I approached, I felt an overwhelming sensation in me grow. Part of me didn't want to fight this feeling, but another part of me couldn't accept it. I'd heard of this sensation before when I was younger and at one point in my early adult life actually looked forward to finding my true mate: the stinging in my chest, the buzzing nerves throughout my entire body, the magnetic pull that made me want to be closer to
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 28 : What About the Luna Queen?
**Amber POVWhile Nurse Reina was wrapping my arm in a long stream of gauze, Dylan came bursting through the door. His wide and panicked eyes landed on me and he let out a frustrated sigh, which I could tell was actually relief. "Where the hell did you go?" he yelled at me. I flinched, not expecting such anger from him. He rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and sighed. "Sorry, your Highness," he apologized, a bit calmer now. "You just freaked me out. I've been looking for you for the past two hours since Jean came back saying he lost you at a rest stop!" Dylan approached, pulling up a chair beside me and taking a close seat. He leaned towards me, grading my injury. "Don't punish Jean. It was my fault. Everyone has been suffocating me here and I needed to clear my head and talk to Prince Leonardo alone.""And did you do any talking?" Dylan asked as he raised one of his eyebrows."No," I admitted, feeling foolish. "But, I found him and
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 29 : Call Me By My Name
Although my body was shuddering with anxious anticipation, deep down I was ready to tell Prince Leonardo everything. He was glaring into my eyes with ferocity, yet I knew from spending the little time I had around him that I could trust him.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "I'm not… Princess Iris…" I muttered. Nothing. Silence. All I could hear was the steady panic pounding in my chest. I peeped through the thin slit of my eyes to find that Prince Leonardo was still glaring at me, his expression unchanged. He didn't look the least bit surprised.Did he not hear me? Did he not understand what I meant?I cleared my throat and repeated myself a bit more clearly. "I'm not Princess Iris.""I know," Prince Leonardo bit at me. "I've known for a long time." My heart thumped and dropped. Goddess, how did I not notice?"You… knew this whole time?" I asked in disbelief. "How?"He crossed his arms over his chest, looking m
