Josh´s POV

The pain still pulsed through my body, every bruise a reminder of Alpha Marco's fury. He had shown no mercy. I knew my mistake was unforgivable. Losing sight of Alina, allowing her to attack me... But even with all the training I'd had at the Alpha's side, something in her made me pull back. It wasn't a simple instinct for self-preservation - it was something bigger, something I couldn't describe.

My legs could barely support me when I finally made it out of the dungeon. Every step was a torment. My body struggled to recover, but the pain was profound. I leaned against the cold wall for a moment, breathing hard. I couldn't show weakness, I couldn't afford to succumb to the pain. After a few minutes, I gathered my strength and headed for my room.

The hot steam from the bath relaxed my muscles, but it didn't dispel the revolt. How could I have feared a hybrid? My mind tried to justify my reaction, but the answer lay in the memory of her eyes. They were the Alpha's eyes. That

  • Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets   Blood Ties

    POV SâmiaI wake up being shaken violently by my brother. My mind is still clouded by sleep, and my body reacts instinctively, trying to push him away.- What's all this John? - I exclaim, pushing his hands away. - Get your hands off me, damn it!- What the hell do you think you're doing Samia, have you lost your mind? - John growls, his voice laced with irritation. - You're not answering any of my calls! The world is crashing down on our heads, and you don't even care! You're irresponsible!Blinking a few times to dispel the numbness of sleep, I let out an exasperated sigh.- What have I done now, for God's sake? I told you I was going for a girls' weekend. There's no mystery here, just fun! - I retort, trying to stay calm.- Dad doesn't think so. He doesn't care about this girls' weekend nonsense. You have to go home. Now. - His eyes shine with frustration, and his hands clench into fists at his sides.My pulse quickens, we're not doing anything wrong or inappropriate here, not that

  • Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets    Laments At The Border

    POV Alpha Marco The smell of dried blood wakes me up. My mouth is bitter, my skin is sticky, my head is throbbing. My eyes open to the darkness of the forest, the twisted branches above me moving in the wind. I should have known this would happen. But now? What should I do now? I sit down slowly, trying to organize my thoughts. My chest rises and falls with difficulty, my breathing heavy, uneven. Something inside me still pulses erratically, like an echo of what happened. The smell around me is thick. Iron, flesh. My eyes go down, and then I see. Remains. The muscles in my jaw tighten. My throat tightens. I can't stay here. I can't leave this in plain sight. I think quickly. The cave. It's only a few minutes away and it's forbidden to anyone who isn't directly connected to me or part of the guard. There, at least for the time being, no one will find... this. I swallow and force myself to act, brutally pulling the remains out of the ground. The smell spreads, impregnating my nos

  • Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets   The Burden Of Discipline

    John's POVI've been trying to talk to this irresponsible girl I call my sister for over four hours. If Dad finds out she's out there, and I'm not even sure where exactly, he'll break up with me.And, as if the universe heard my thoughts, here he comes:- Good morning. Where's your sister? I need to talk to her.My father's firm, authoritative voice hits me like a punch in the stomach. I swallow and try to stay calm.- Good morning, Dad. I hope you had a comfortable trip,” I reply, aiming for a cordial tone as my mind works frantically to come up with a convincing response.- Sâmia is at our country house with a colleague. They're having a... girls' weekend.He frowns.- Girls' weekend? - he repeats, as if testing the words, measuring them. - So tell me, John, two she-wolves are alone in our country house, unaccompanied. And you, who should be ensuring your sister's safety, are here, doing nothing? Is that what I understand?I feel his gaze burning into me.- Well, actually... I was a

  • Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets   The Storm Within Us

    Dila´s POVChaos reigned around me. If I hadn't seen it all with my own eyes, I could have sworn that a wild wolf had come through here, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But no, the devastation had another origin.Marco, an Alpha with lycan blood, had completely lost control. At the moment, we were talking - or at least trying to - and in the next instant, his eyes turned black as night, and he simply exploded. He moved like a raging storm, smashing everything in his path before disappearing into the forest.I took a deep breath, trying not to get carried away by the chaotic scene. I knew I had to act fast. So I ignored the damage around me and focused on what I did best: magic.This time, I needed something specific, something powerful. A body domination spell.I sat down in the center of the destroyed hut, surrounded by debris, and began to mutter the incantation. My mind focused on her. So strong and yet so fragile... In the state she was in, finding a breach in her subc

  • Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets   Silent Crackle

    Alina's POVI was woken up by Samia's nudge. Since meeting Alfa, this was the only time I'd actually been able to get some rest. My mind is racing and my body seems to be at its limit. Through the car's rearview mirror, I can see the deep circles under my eyes and my reddened eyes. I'm a wreck, almost vegetating. - Aren't you coming? - says Sâmia. I just nod, trying to get out of the car seat. I'm really exhausted. - Are you hungry? - Sâmia asks. - No, I'm not. - I answer straight away. - You need to eat a bit, you look pale. Have you lost weight? I don't know. I honestly can't remember the last time I ate. But in the state I'm in, I won't be able to eat anything. - I blurt out, feeling my eyes water. She walks over to me and hugs me. - Come on, Lina. - Hold on. - I say suddenly. - What about the body? My moon goddess... it's a lot to process. - Here's what we're going to do - Samia runs her hands over her head, thoughtfully. - I'm sure that somewhere in the warehouse there
