"Your wolf isn't the only thing that awakened tonight."

My mother's words froze the blood in my veins.

I stared at her.

Her face was still my mother's face, but something about her had changed.

The warmth I had seen in her eyes was gone.

Those beautiful mismatched eyes were now completely black.

Even her pupils had disappeared.

"Mom?"

She tilted her head.

For a moment, she looked confused.

Then she smiled.

"Don't call me that."

My heart cracked.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not the woman you remember."

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    Her eyes

    The first thing I notice is Alex's eyes.They are completely black.Not dark brown.Not the deep blue they usually become when his wolf surfaces.Black.So black that it looks like there is no human Alex left behind them.My heart stops."Alex?"His head slowly turns toward me.For one terrifying second, he doesn't move.Then his lips curve into a smile.But it isn't his smile.I know Alex.I know the way he smiles when he's teasing me. I know the small smile he gives me when Dad is around and we have to pretend we're only friends. I know the way his eyes soften whenever he looks at me.This smile has none of that."Don't come closer," Zara whispers.I step forward anyway."Gena!" she grabs my arm.I pull away."That's Alex.""No," Zara says firmly. "That's something wearing Alex."Her words cut through me.Something wearing Alex.I look at him again."Alex," I call.His head tilts."You shouldn't have come here."My breath catches.It's his voice.But underneath it is another voice.

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    The Blood Gate

    I fell.There was no ground beneath me.No sky.No sound.Only darkness.Zara's hand was locked tightly around mine."Don't let go!""I'm not!"We kept falling.I could hear her breathing beside me.Then suddenlyWe landed.Hard.I groaned and opened my eyes.Zara was lying beside me.I pushed myself up."Are you okay?"She nodded slowly."Where are we?"I looked around.My breath caught.We were standing in a massive valley surrounded by mountains.But it wasn't the Northern Deadlands anymore.There was no snow.Instead, the entire valley was covered with silver flowers.A huge moon hung directly above us.And in the distance stood an enormous palace.Its walls were made of white stone.Silver flames burned along its towers.I slowly stood."This place..."Zara looked at me."What?""It feels familiar."My wolf stirred.Because it is.I frowned.What do you mean?This is where we began.I looked at Zara."Do you feel it?"She nodded."Yes."We started walking toward the palace.Neith

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    The father of the black queen

    The ground continued to crack beneath our feet.I grabbed Zara's hand."Stay behind me."She looked at me.For a second, she hesitated.Then she nodded.Alex stood on my other side, his body tense and ready to shift.Lucian and Kael positioned themselves in front of us.The Black Queen remained on her knees.Her head was bowed."Welcome home, Father."The voice beneath the earth laughed.The sound was so deep that it vibrated through my bones."After all these years..."A massive black hand emerged from the crack.Everyone stepped backward.Except the Black Queen.The hand gripped the edge of the earth.Then another appeared.Slowly, something pulled itself from beneath the snow.My wolf whimpered.Gena...What is it?But she didn't answer.For the first time, she seemed too terrified to speak.The creature rose.It was enormous.At least twice the size of the First Wolf.Its body was shaped like a man, but nothing about it was human.Long black horns curled from its head.Its skin lo

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    The Black Queen

    I woke up with my sister's scream still ringing inside my head."GENA!"I sat upright."She's in danger."Alex immediately moved closer."Are you sure?"I looked at him."I felt her."My hand pressed against my chest.The silver mark was still glowing."I don't know how to explain it, but I felt her fear."My mother stood."Then we have to go."Kael turned sharply."No."Everyone looked at him.My mother frowned."What do you mean, no?""The Northern Deadlands are not a place you simply walk into."I folded my arms."My sister is there.""And you might die before reaching her."I stepped closer to him."Then I guess I will die trying.""Gena.""No, Kael."My voice became firm."I've spent my entire life without knowing I had a sister."I held up the photograph."Now that I know she's alive, I'm not going to sit around while Adrian's army hunts her."Alex stepped beside me."I'm going too."I looked at him."You don't have to."He raised an eyebrow."Did you really think I would let yo

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    The sister I never knew

    The lights went out.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The darkness inside Erebus's fortress was thick and unnatural. It wasn't the kind of darkness that came from extinguished flames.It felt alive.I tightened my grip around the wooden box."My what?"Adrian's voice came from somewhere in front of me."Your twin sister."A growl immediately escaped Alex."Don't move."I heard him shifting beside me.His claws scraped against the stone floor."Alex?" I whispered."I'm here."The sound of his voice calmed me a little.My mother was beside me too. I could hear her breathing.Lucian stood somewhere behind us.Kael drew his sword.Then suddenlyA silver flame appeared.Seraphine stood at the entrance with fire burning in her palm.The room became illuminated again.Adrian was gone."What the hell?" I looked around.The doorway was empty."Where did he go?"Kael rushed toward the door."He couldn't have gone far."Alex shifted back into his human form."Should I go after h

  • THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER    The kingdom of shadows

    The first creature crawled out of the earth.Then another.Then another.Within seconds, the entire valley was filled with them.They were wolves, but not the kind I knew.Their bodies were twisted, their eyes completely red, and black smoke poured from their mouths.They weren't alive.At least, not in the way ordinary wolves were.Kael stared at them."Shadowborn."I looked at him."What are Shadowborn?""The dead."My stomach turned."What?""Ancient wolves that died serving Erebus."He tightened his grip on his sword."They've been sleeping beneath the mountain."A terrible howl came from the valley.The Shadowborn charged."ATTACK!"William's voice thundered across the battlefield.The Blood Moon Pack rushed forward.Wolves collided with the Shadowborn.The sound of claws, growls, and screams filled the valley.I stood frozen for a second.There were so many."Don't freeze."Alex grabbed my hand."I'm not.""You are."I looked at him."I'm scared.""So am I."He smiled."But we'r
