Jade's pov

Gritting my molars, I lifted my chained wrists, hearing the chain's length drag against the wood floor, and decided to see how far I could get.

Shuffling my feet awkwardly around the length of my chain, I stopped and snorted in disbelief.

“I can't even reach the toilet…Great thinking there, Mister dumbass,” I muttered in aggravation.

Glancing around my new prison, I tried to gain a feel for the odd, attractive man and fell short of finding anything new.

His room was dull boring grays with no artistic energy and even less life.

The furniture was old, antique, and decorative but drab. The huge bed was covered in satin and appeared hardly used.

There was a set of glass doors that led out to a balcony that looked inviting.

The entrance to a small room looked like a makeshift office…

A bright laptop caught my attention on a desk in the corner and I scurried over to see it open on an AI app with mock pictures of huge waves and fireballs falling to the earth. An email b

  • The Hybrid's Captive   Chapter 16

    Jade Pinkerton pov Pulling on my hair I was conflicted. I was attracted to Nikolai but he was a murderer and not human. “What in the hell am I doing,” I groaned internally as I sat on the couch and rubbed my face. “He drank too much of my blood and has clouded my thoughts, obviously,” I huffed. The chains clanked against each other as they hung from the cuffs on my wrists. Exhaling deeply, I glanced at the doorknob, turning. I narrowed my eyes, awaiting who I assumed was Nikolai or Jesse as they entered. So when the Marcus fellow entered wearing camouflage clothing I furrowed my brow. “Come with me, Miss, the Commander needs you,” he said nervously, causing me to cock my eyebrows at him. “Tell me what he needs me for? He's already taken a lot of my blood and I need to recuperate,” I muttered. Seeing his face contort in rage, I was startled when an unfamiliar-looking mountain of a man entered next. “Grab her quickly, Trey, she is a feisty human. Let's take her to the

    Jade Pinkerton pov Feeling him finally licking my neck, I closed my eyes, savoring the jolts of pleasure it caused. “Please don't try to run away from me again,” Nikolai growled softly, causing me to crack open my right eye and peek at him. “Why would you ask me that?” I questioned as I turned to face him. He lowered his eyes and muttered, “Just don't, Jade.” Studying his attractive features I exhaled softly. “If I agreed not to run away, may I stay out of the cage and be able to sleep on this couch at least?” Rolling his eyes he heaved bitterly, “Were you not listening to me before? We're leaving this place and going to another one of my houses. I don't need you running off and getting lost in the forests there.” “Aw, you really care about me…will my friend also be coming, and Jesse too?” Nodding his head, he explained that Thomas and Jesse were part of his household and traveled with him wherever he went, which made me smile. “Great, I like them both and always w

    Jade Pinkerton pov Struggling to raise my legs, climbing the steps seemed impossible. I hissed as I looked up at Jesse. My thoughts of escape had been thwarted unintentionally. “I'm not going to turn into a vampire from Thomas's scratch am I?” I asked worriedly. Furrowing her brow she laughed nervously and waved at me dismissively. “Oh no, you would need to receive an actual conversion bite with the venom of someone who really wanted you to convert. So a mate or a really ancient vampire or werewolf to experience the change. I'm certain that you just got a bit infected from Thomas's dirty claws since all he does is tend to your friend. I will get you to the Commander's bed and bring you up some hot chicken broth. I believe that it helps sick humans.” I was happy that Monica was being cared for but loathed being ill. Although the thought of sleeping on Nikolai's comfortable-looking bed instead of the hard floor made my feet begin to tread up the steps. “When is he expec

    Jade Pinkerton pov Leaning against the cage, I looked up at the bedroom door opening slowly, and the young servant girl, Jesse, peeking inside. “Do you want to talk?” She asked me quietly and I gave her a confused scowl. “What is there to talk about?” I questioned rudely. Giving me a pout she scurried inside and then pushed a chair toward my cage. “I overheard you telling the commander that you were bored, and since I'm all alone here now, I'm bored as well,” she said curtly as she sat and faced me. “How old are you even?” I asked bluntly. Fiddling with her hands on her lap she sighed. “I'm sixteen and my mom was killed at the warehouse in your town…I was told you were responsible,” Jesse ground out as her strange colored eyes rose to my startled ones. “I, I uh, I was trying to save people,” I blurted, and she tilted her head as she studied me. “By killing mine?” “There were others who were fighting back. So it wasn't just me,” I lied while my mind pictured the

    Jade Pinkerton pov Looking at the tray before me I glanced up and watched Nikolai rise to leave me with his own food. I wanted to question him more about my dad but it was obvious that it was a sore subject for him. He headed into his office while I looked at what was on my plate. My stomach gurgled as I lifted the chicken leg and took a big bite. “Mmm this is good, my compliments to your chef,” I announced and heard Nikolai grunt. “Guess someone pissed on yours,” I muttered sourly and heard him rolling his desk chair backward into the bedroom with the food tray balancing on his lap. Glancing up at him, I noticed that he was chewing on a T-bone that hung from his mouth. He ripped it away then eyed me. “I'm trying to enjoy my meal, okay, chatty Cathy. I enjoy having my meals in peace; otherwise, I would be downstairs with my men,” he asserted. I took another bite of the chicken leg and nodded as I lowered my eyes from his intense ones. I continued to watch him eat like a savage

    Nikolai Romonav pov Marcus gestured for me so I left Jade staring after me in the cage. “The redhead is still going through the conversion, and Thomas suggested that we submerge her in an ice bath to lower her core temperature. None of us has been witness to a human successfully making the change,” he said softly. Furrowing my brow, I glanced back at Jade, straining to listen, so I told him to head to the hall while the others vacated my space. “Thomas believes that she is his mate?” I inquired and Marcus nodded. Unease filled me with the possibility of humans being mates with our species, and I felt Ares grow angry within me as I thought about Jade possibly being mine. Vincent, my vampire, was telling Ares to open his heart and give her a chance but my Lycan was standing firmly in his disgust. “There's something off with that female,” he asserted within my mind, causing me to furrow my brow. Both had been giving me a headache since I first met the young woman. “Stop
