The steam in the private bathroom was thick and hot, smelling of the eucalyptus oils Aunt Mira had left on the counter.

Rose leaned her head against the tiled wall of the shower, letting the scorching water beat down on her aching back.

Now that she was alone behind locked doors, she finally let her guard down. The restriction on her hybrid core relaxed, and a faint, silver-white glow pulsed beneath her skin.

Instantly, the deep purple bruises on her ribs began to fade, the torn flesh on her

  • The Alpha's Hybrid Mate    chapter 35

    The morning air in the grand hall felt cold and stagnant, heavy with the scent of an impending trap.When Rose descended the grand staircase, she did not find the usual bustling dawn patrol. Instead, the entire high circle was assembled in a rigid semicircle around the long oak table. Ace stood at the head, his jaw locked so tightly the muscle leaped in his cheek. Jax and Aunt Mira were flanked to his left, their postures intensely guarded.At the center of the room stood Delegate Vane, his black leather ledger closed on the table and a long, velvet-lined case resting beside it."Ah, the subject of our week long observation," Vane said, his smooth, dry voice cutting through the silence as Rose reached the floorboards. His slate-gray eyes were sharper than they had been all week. "Perfect timing, Rose. Before the delegation departs for the city center at noon, there is one final, mandatory protocol required to clear Vance’s emergency petition."Rose kept her expression entirely neutr

  • The Alpha's Hybrid Mate    chapter 34

    Seven days left their mark in a blur of dirt, sweat, and cheap cosmetic cream.Every morning at dawn, the wind off the northern peaks cut through the training pit like glass. Rose learned the hard way how to parry heavy wooden staffs, her hands splitting open until her hybrid core secretly knitted the skin back together under the cover of a locked bathroom door. By afternoon, she was trapped in a suffocating study with Aunt Mira, committing pack law loopholes to memory. By night, she was back in the gravel, grappling with Ace until her lungs burned.Then came the worst part sitting in front of the vanity mirror, painting the fake, sickly purple bruises back onto her ribs and arms. If Delegate Vane saw her unblemished skin, the secret was dead."Your weight is too high," Ace said, his voice dropping into that flat, unyielding trainer tone he used whenever they were being watched.High on the balcony, Vane sat motionless in the dark, a shadow against the stone railing. The scratch of

    The steam in the private bathroom was thick and hot, smelling of the eucalyptus oils Aunt Mira had left on the counter. Rose leaned her head against the tiled wall of the shower, letting the scorching water beat down on her aching back.Now that she was alone behind locked doors, she finally let her guard down. The restriction on her hybrid core relaxed, and a faint, silver-white glow pulsed beneath her skin. Instantly, the deep purple bruises on her ribs began to fade, the torn flesh on her blistered palms knitting back together in seconds. It was a massive relief, but it felt like cheating.If I heal completely every day, Vane will notice,she thought, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach.She forced herself to step out of the water, drying off and slipping into a loose gray sweater and leggings. Before she left the bathroom, she picked up a small cosmetic bottle from her vanity. something she had used back when she lived among humans to hide blemishes. With careful, practi

    Rose caught the heavy leather strips against her chest. The cold air stung her palms.The look on his face made it clear that the gentle mate from the office was gone. Right now, he was just her trainer."Wrap them tight, Rose," Ace ordered. His voice was cold and echoed off the walls. "If you hold a wooden staff with bare skin, it will rip your hands to shreds in ten minutes."Rose did not hesitate. She wound the thick leather around her knuckles and wrists until her hands felt tight and secure. Then, she walked to the wooden bench and lifted a solid ash wood staff. It was heavy, forcing her to tighten her grip.The moment she stepped into the dirt ring, Ace moved.There was no warning. His wooden staff sliced through the freezing air, aiming straight for her ribs. Instinct flared hot in Rose's veins. Her hybrid reflexes screamed at her to drop low and move to the left with supernatural speed. She could have dodged it easily, but she remembered what he told her in the office.If you

    The double doors of the dining hall groaned open as Ace led the way out, his massive body shielding Rose from the hundreds of stunned, staring eyes. The silence behind them finally breaking into chaotic whispers as the pack tried to process the High Council's declaration. Rose was going to fight. She had exactly one month to prepare to enter the arena against a pure bred she-wolf.Tanya’s furious, high pitched protests still echoed down the corridor, but Ace ignored them entirely. He kept a firm, possessive grip on Rose’s wrist, guiding her swiftly through the hallways of the pack house. Aunt Mira walked closely on Rose’s other side, her expression completely unbothered by the guards flanking them.They moved up the grand staircase and down the secure northern wing until Ace reached the door of his private office. He pushed it open, ushered Rose and Mira inside, and closed it firmly behind them. The click of the heavy brass lock sliding into place finally cut off the noise of the

    The silence that followed Delegate Vane’s legal ultimatum was thick enough to choke on. Ace stood frozen behind the cracked wooden table, his chest heaving under his shirt as his golden eyes burned holes into Elder Vance. His claws were still extended, digging deep into the polished grain, but the threat of losing his alpha authority held his inner wolf back by a fraying thread.Tanya took his forced restraint as a sign of complete defeat. A low, mocking chuckle escaped her lips as she smoothed down the front of her expensive dress. She turned her head slowly, looking down her nose at Rose with a gaze full of venomous triumph."It seems the law has spoken, Rose," Tanya said, her voice dripping with artificial pity as she ensured every warrior in the hall could hear her. "A stray simply has no place in the higher tier of this pack. You have had your fun pretending to be someone important, playing house in the Alpha's quarters and turning the kitchen staff against me, but reality has
