Chapter 23- Thea
**Thea**
The first thing I felt was sore. Then nausea. I thought about opening my eyes but decided to wait a few moments. Something had happened. Then it all came flooding back, gaining control of my mage powers, shifting for the first time, Atlas carrying me…I decided to finally open my eyes. I did so slowly, squinting at the bright light. As the room came into focus, I saw Bessie was sitting in front of me. Concern covered her face.
“Thea? How are you feeling?”
“Sick. Aching” I croaked.
She got up and went to the table, picking up a jug of water and decanting some into a glass. I pushed myself up on to my elbows a little. Without asking she brought the rim of the glass to my lips and I took a few sips. That felt better. I slumped back into the pillows.
“The aching is normal after your first shift. The sickness might be th

**Jarin**It was the day that Thea had asked to do some research with Asher. I decided to join them, seeing as I had spent hardly any time with Thea. I realised it was no good spending more time with Viola. Clearly, I was attracted to her. But I hadn’t really given Thea a chance.The library where we were to be was one of my favourite rooms in the entire castle, although I didn’t get to spend as much time in it as I would like. As Alpha, it was not my job to do the research. It was my job to decide who else was going to do it while I took care of other things. Asher was our main point of call for the task. He loved books as much as I did, and he had an excellent memory.As I stepped through the doors, I allowed myself to take a deep breath in, enjoying the wonderful and comforting smell of old books. Like many grand libraries, the dark wood shelves reached right up to the ceiling
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 25- Atlas
**Atlas**I was still reeling from Gurtar’s kill. The only thing I was thankful for was that Doran had not made any more attempts to talk to me about it. What also helped was that I had barely seen Jarin. He was so busy with the council that our paths didn’t normally cross. He wasn’t spending a lot of time with Thea either. I had mixed feelings about this. On one hand I loved the fact they didn’t appear to be getting close. On the other, what would this mean for our collective future? It was also strange he was doing so much of the council work himself. It was something he would usually delegate to me. I guessed he wanted me to focus on Thea’s training. Because of the training, I had now spent far more time with Thea than he had. For the past few days, we had been experimenting with Thea’s abilities. After she had heard about the wolf
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 26- Thea
**Thea**Atlas had barely spoken to me since I had shifted for the first time. We only talked about my training. The night in the garden seemed like 100 years ago. I hadn’t seen him smile since. I didn’t understand it. He also wouldn’t shift into his wolf form around me, instead instructing Asher through their mind link on how to show me how to fight as a wolf. I could sense even Asher thought this was odd, but because Atlas was his Beta, he said nothing.When I tried to talk to Bessie about it, she just changed the subject or gave me strange excuses. I knew her well enough now to know she was hiding something from me.The truth was, I had begun to develop feelings for Atlas. Feelings I couldn’t explain. When I had become angry at training, Atlas had had this strange ability to relax me instantly. Surely that wasn’t normal?
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 27- Atlas
**Atlas**After letting Thea go, I decided to head back to my chambers. I needed a drink. A big one. I pushed the door open, heading straight for my cabinet where I kept the alcohol. Suddenly, someone cleared their throat. I turned and saw the last woman I had slept with before finding Thea, barely clothed and lying on my bed.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”“Temper temper. You seem like you could do with releasing some frustration,” she purred.I couldn’t believe the audacity, I opened my mouth to tell her to leave, then something dawned on me.“How long have you been here?” I demanded.“Too long…an hour maybe.”I began to tremble. Fearing that I was going to be able to predict her answer to my next question. &ldquo
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 28- Thea
**Thea**I waited for the others to leave before I let go of the breath I felt I had been holding in since this man, my father, had entered the room. I got up slowly, making sure the weight of my hurt would not make my legs buckle from underneath me, and moved to the side of my fathers’ chair. His head was still in his hands, but as I sat down, he looked at me.“Thea, I am so sorry, even after all these years whenever I speak of your mothers passing the old wound is ripped open once more.”I placed my hand on his. It was damp from tears. “I understand, I just…I need more answers, why was I abandoned?”He took a deep breath to compose himself. “As I said earlier, if my people had found out about you, you would have been killed instantly. Taking you back wasn’t an option. But neither was running away with you. They would
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 29- Jarin
**Jarin**I blinked at her dumbly. Not really knowing what to say.“Oh…right…I mean that’s…excellent news!”Was it excellent? For my species it was. But for me? I looked at her as if for the first time. This is to be my wife. She’s wonderful but she isn’t who I want. I shook myself. I couldn’t have any thoughts like that now.“Can I ask what about meeting your father has helped you come to that decision?”Her eyes looked cold and she wasn’t smiling. “I believe what my father is saying is true. There will be an attack from the mages. He explained how the pendant I was wearing was hiding me from them as well as supressing my powers. Now it’s gone they will be able to detect me. If what the seer said is true, then we should unite as soon as possible.”
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 30- Atlas
**Atlas**I hadn’t slept all night. I could still taste her on my lips. My hands could still feel the cool skin of her bare thigh. And my heart was breaking over and over as I replayed in my mind how I told her our love wasn’t important.In truth, it was important. Before the revelation of Thea’s father, I was going to tell her we were mates. I would have told Jarin. But, after hearing of the impending mage attack, I knew I had to push her away. Jarin was the best person to protect her as Alpha. I would rather she live and hate me, than love me and die.When Jarin had sent the mind link to me, any last remaining happiness had been sucked out of me. I chastised myself. This is what I wanted. This is why I had so willingly crushed my mates’ heart. I decided if I couldn’t feel love, I just wanted to feel nothing. I willed myself to go cold. I rose out of my bed and

**Thea**Tomorrow. I was getting married. Tomorrow.I stood in my chambers, staring out of the window, but not really looking at anything. It had been an hour since Jarin’s announcement. While he’d been speaking, I’d made sure to keep my eyes fully focused in front of me. I knew if I looked at Atlas, even once, I may cry.I didn’t want to cry anymore. I’d had enough of it. I reminded myself that although the one I loved had rejected me, I was also incredibly lucky.I had been pulled from a terrible life in order to discover who I truly was. For the first time since infancy, I had been cared for by the people here. I had even been reunited with the father that I never thought I had. For this part, I was truly thankful.A soft knock at the door told me that Bessie was here to do my dress fitting for the wedding. I
