'Phoenix

Silverware clanked as I walked about, feeling finally peaceful. It had been a week since I started staying with the girls, and I must say, it had been wonderful. I tried to stay on my feet—despite Alex's numerous warnings against stressing out.

I stopped abruptly when a pang of dejectedness shot through me.

I missed Mom. Desperately. I wanted to hold her, care for her, tell her I was okay. My heart was a little at ease knowing Caleb would take absolute care of her, but the guilt sti

  • The Alpha's Hybrid    Forty Nine

    THIRD PERSON Krystal heaved a vengeful sigh, her mind a monotone. Phoenix. She had to kill Phoenix. Phoenix had to die. "I will take you down, Phoenix. All of you. You can't beat me. I have the last say!" she bellowed. Her body began heating up, blue strings of light surrounding her as her men backed away in fear. The Mistress was losing her mind. She was out of control with hatred. Phoenix closed her eyes quietly, breathing in calmly. She remembered what Caleb had told her after he mumbled earnestly that her mother was alive. Stay focused, he had said. If you get lost in your thoughts, everyone dies. She thought about her dad, who had died to protect her. Rain, a friend she had lost. The pack members she had failed. The family she had found, Caleb, the girls, Moira, Jackson. And she closed her eyes for a fight that may very well be her last. She was prepared to fight to the death. --- The clearing erupted. Krystal's blue flames clashed with Phoenix's orange fire, the ni

  • The Alpha's Hybrid    Forty Eight

    PHOENIX The eerie darkness blanketed the whole compound, crickets chirping wildly. I looked on, reality sinking in. My mind went back to my earlier conversation with Lana. She had dropped by, fingers trembling wildly. I looked on, my gaze resting softly on her. She sat beside me and took my hands in her trembling ones. "Luna, I want you to listen to me. It's urgent," she mused, her voice rushed. I turned to her, silently willing her to speak. She sighed heavily. "I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't be quiet anymore. I think Conrad, my brother, is working against the Alpha." That had me sitting up, eyes wide. "He's been acting strangely. Distant. So I followed him one time. He climbed up the mountain and met with a man he called Kenneth. They talked about a woman they both referred to as 'Mistress.' They're plotting to attack, Luna. Tonight." I sat up. "What?" I squeaked. My throat burned from lack of use. Lana got up, dashing into the kitchen. She came back bearing a glass

    JACKSON There was silence across the room. Eerie silence. Maximus? Maximus! I turned sharply to see disbelief, anger, and confusion pass across the faces in the room, the last being on Owen. I still stood frozen, my mind struggling to process what Olga had just said. It was Caleb who broke the silence, his voice resounding through the room. "Maximus?" Olga turned to him. "Yes. The vampire your pack took down. Krystal had been in the fight. I thought she had died. I mourned her." Olga's voice broke. "Only for her to resurface again." I unfroze, confused. "She was there during the fight?" Olga nodded. "She ran away from home. Next I hear, she was dead, or supposedly dead, killed during the battle against the vampire Maximus." "How then did she survive?" Caleb asked. It was Owen who spoke, his initial confusion worn off. "Witches, unlike you believe, are powerful. We don't die easily. She must have survived the battle." Caleb sighed. I could see the gears turning in his head,

    JACKSON Tension permeated the room as everyone sat at the very edge of their seats. "Why are we here again?" a lazy drawl taunted me. The source was a purple-eyed wizard. I cleared my throat. "I summoned you here because I need your help," I answered, my gaze fixed on who appeared to be their leader, a middle-aged woman with gleaming purple eyes. The wizard cackled, eyes flashing. I stiffened. "Why would a mighty Alpha such as yourself need help from a mere witch clan?" he rambled, his taunt clear. "Technically, it's not helping if you're fixing what you damaged," Caleb chirped in, annoyed. The wizard straightened, brows furrowing in confusion. The witch, the leader of their clan, turned abruptly to me, fixing me with a pertinent gaze. "What does that mean?" I straightened. "You must have heard about the recent attacks on my pack." "From investigations, we've deduced that with the help of a pack member, a witch is behind the attacks on us, for motives still unknown," I cont

  • The Alpha's Hybrid    Forty Five

    JACKSON I walked down the stairs, my hand resting loosely on the banister. My mind drew on slowly. A figure came into view, pacing around the living room. Caleb. He stilled upon seeing me. "How is she?" he asked worriedly. I sighed. "She refused to eat. I had to force-feed her." I paused. "How are the arrangements coming along?" "Everything is going well. I had a chat with Alpha Rain. The funeral will be held in his pack training grounds." "I'll let Phoenix know," I told him. He nodded sadly. --- Birds chirped. The wind blew. Frogs hopped around. The sky was gloomy. A few feet away, fire roared sadly, consuming the body of Katerine Standford, Phoenix's mother. Beside me, Phoenix looked on numbly. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her to myself. As the smoke rose to the sky, pack members of the Half Crescent Pack bowed their heads, silently mourning the loss of the former Beta female. Hours passed as each pack member came to offer condolences to Phoenix, who still lo

    UNKNOWN The wind billowed around me as I sat on a boulder, idly watching the expanse of land that was the compound. I heard shuffling of feet and stilled. The pair of feet moved closer, coming to rest behind me. "Mistress." Kenneth. I sighed, nodding for him to go on. "The informant is here to see you. He insists on speaking with you in person," Kenneth said, his Scottish drawl present. I turned stone-faced to Kenneth, my eyes flashing. My gaze darted to the figure beside him, my purple orbs coming to rest on blue-green ones and I stilled, my eyes widening. "You are the informant?" I asked in disbelief. A nod. I cleared my throat, quickly composing myself. "Speak," I bellowed. The informant bowed. "Mistress, I failed to get the information as you asked. The Luna's friend, Caleb, walked in on me in the Alpha's office. I had to retreat." I froze, my insides boiling. "Someone saw you?" I screeched. "Do you want to jeopardize everything we have worked so hard for?" "No, my

He was a tall, slightly built, red haired man, standing over a soggy, passed out Phoenix after she had ran unhinged, straight into their pack. 'I don't know. I don't care.

My third in command, my Gamma, was in charge till I came back and even though I wasn't sure when that would be, I knew I could trust him. I made sure I surr

    PHOENIX The mildly chilly spring breeze blew through the warm Californian air lighting up the evening sky in a beautiful array of colours. Birds chirped as the fragrance of different flowers assaulted the noses of passersby. Caleb and I on the other hand could barely appreciate this common beauty
