What is my purpose? Is it to forever feel unworthy and useless? Am I only intended to yearn for my passion, only to never see it through? I sobbed at these questions as my grief shrouded me with hopelessness. If only I had never met Michael, or if I had started working earli

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 56: A Silver Hope

    Laura’s POVWe are deep within the building now, away from observing eyes and ears. This is my chance.“Jerry?”“Yes, my treasure?”"Do you know who I was previously paired to?”“What does it matter?” Drud snarls, yanking me into him with brutal force. “You are mine!" His aura thickens, crushing the space around us. “Whether I told you or not, it changes nothing. You will never see that fucker again.”"I just wanted to know,” I snap, done being scared, “because you lied to me.”"What of it?” His voice is sharp, defensive. “Like I said, it changes nothing between us."“It changes everything!” I shout. “All I want is the truth, so that I can trust you. That's the change I wanted, to trust your lying arse. I was prepared to forgive how you treated me in the past if you were willing to respect me in return—”I don’t finish. Drud grabs me and slams me against the wall. The impact knocks the wind from my lungs; pain flares across my back."You sound desperate to know who your previous mate

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 55: Regal Flame and Ice

    **Laura's POV**The throne room is enormous, vaulted ceilings arching above us, walls carved with wolves, moons and ancient symbols I don’t recognise. But all of it fades the moment my eyes meet theirs.And I thought Xander was big, the king is massive, his presence pressing against my skin like fire. Dark brown eyes and raven-black hair, like an older version of Jerry, twenty years from now, commanding, powerful, impossible to ignore.Beside him sits his queen, her posture perfect, chin lifted high, eyes blue, sharp and cold as frost. Her fiery red hair is the same fiery red as Jerry’s. She is beautiful, but everything about her radiates disapproval, even the way she blinks feels condescending."Such a grand entrance!" the king booms, amusement ringing in his voice. “Welcome home, my son.”Jerry gave a courteous bow. He had transformed completely from the once jolly comedian into a regal prince.“Father,” he says with respect.His mother glances at him, then at me, her gaze slicing a

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 54: Among Turbulent Skies

    **Laura's POV**As open my eyes, the first thing I see is a woman standing in the room, quiet, gentle, and watching me with a calm patience I’m not used to. I jolt at the sight of her, completely caught off guard, but her warm smile softens the panic clawing at my chest.“Good morning, Lady Ash,” she greets as she helps me sit up. “I’m here to take care of you and prepare you for the day. His Highness requested that I stay with you.”Jerry… Being so sweet, that alone makes my stomach flutter.While the woman helps me get ready, she explains to me that we are leaving today, headed to Jerry's homeland, the heart of the werewolf kingdom called Radix Luporum. His family lives there, the king and queen.Part of me feels relieved. I want, need, to get away from this place and everything that has happened here. But another part of me tightens with anxiety. Meeting his parents? Royal werewolves? Becoming part of a world I never knew existed… I am not so sure if I belong anywhere, let alone th

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 53: Shadows of the Aftermath

    **Jeremy’s Pov**I'm sitting in the back of the car on our way to my forest manor. It's dead silent. Adrian is entirely focused on the road, and my gem is fast asleep in my arms, her head against my chest.When she got her stitches, I asked the nurse to give her something for the shock. My poor treasure has been through the most today. She is completely out.“It is for the best,” Drud growls, worry flickering through my eyes as he watches her.“Yes. When we get to the manor, I’ll tuck her in and let one of the she-wolves keep watch over her. We still have a lot to do, and I want everything to go smoothly. We have a long trip ahead of us tomorrow.”“Yes, fortunately Father is excited to meet our mate,” Drud says, excitement vibrating in his voice.“As long as we return home, he’ll be happy. He is the least of our concerns. It's Mother and that scheming Bridget… but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, our mate is our primary focus.”Drud hums in agreement.As I lean in t

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 52: Blade’s Reflection

    Trigger Warning: This chapter contains sexual assault, sexual harassment, physical violence, emotional abuse, and traumatic content. Reader discretion is advised.**Laura's POV**Jerry and my moment is short-lived when Xavier appears, his face troubled. “I first want to deeply apologise, Laura, for what happened. The producers did not anticipate the news we learned from you.”“Well, at least you got your ratings,” I mutter bitingly, clutching Jerry without looking at him. Arsehole. He doesn’t sound apologetic at all, but he is definitely shitting himself. Good.“Where is Mr. Blythe now?” Jerry asks, his voice stripped of its usual performer’s charm. He’s not in the mood for bullshit.“Oh, uh, he’s being escorted off the property as we speak, I can assure you. Please let us make it up to you. How does a decadent lunch at the grand Opulent Palate Restaurant sound?” Xavier answers nervously.“No need. We’ll be on our way then,” Jerry declares, his tone flat.I realise it’s a two-hour dri

  • The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate   Chapter 51: Sorry to Who?

    **Laura's POV**My body numbs instantly, my dry mouth turning into a drought, as dread and rage overpower me. Everything around me slows. I’m frozen like a deer in headlights. I barely register Jerry's hands clutching me tightly.That monster's eyes are fixed on me. He gives me a tender smile… something I haven’t seen in a long time. The very same smile he used to wear in the early days of our relationship, back when I actually believed Michael was going to be my happily ever after.“Sweetheart, Laura?” the host calls, snapping me out of my shock.“Why is he here?” I whisper, barely audible, backing further into Jerry's arms. Xavier's face shows no concern, his eyes drinking in the unfolding chaos. Probably because he knew bringing an ex makes for good drama to boost ratings. Arseholes. I’m not going to give it to them—“Lau, I know things ended badly between us, but I still care about you. I want to fix it. When you disappeared, I nearly lost my mind,” Michael says. Is he for real? I

    I stood protectively in front of Bethany as I saw him glaring at her. “Bethany, go inside and call the police,” I commanded in a stern tone, but gentle enough not to distress her further. She was about to say something, but I already knew who this bastard was. “Now!” I snapped, and she finally list

    The other werewolf nodded at Jeremy. It was subtle, but I fucking saw it, and I was ready to intervene. He approached Bethany, but before he could touch her, the vampire skillfully glided between them facing Bethany and said gently, smiling.“Please, Miss, come with me. I’ll hear what you have to s
