LIA’S POV

“No, no, no.” I chant in my head, my vision blurring as the room tilts.

Large hands grip my shoulder, hovering for just a split second before lifting me up.

“What the hell is wrong with you?!” His deep voice rasps but it is hard to hear above the loud noise that is my own heartbeat.

“Breathe.” His palm hits the side of my face gently. “Do you hear me? You need to breathe.” My pulse doesn’t slow but a sudden rush of air fills my lungs and I gasp, almost choking.

“There, slowly

  • The Hybrid    Almost

    CLINT’S POV I have fought men who can tear an alpha wolf in half. Every animal in these woods fears me. And she called me a coward. My fingers curl into fists as I walk down the small steps. Seeing the corpses of these rogues fuels my anger. How can she refuse to see reason? I picture her sitting on the bed as she did earlier, like she is waiting for permission to simply exist, shoulders drawn, and her eyes fixed on my face but never my eyes. She didn’t move at first, not really, and for a minute, I convinced myself that I would bring her peace, make her feel safe. What a joke. I recall the moment I told her to leave, the hurt crept into her eyes, the hope I’d see in them after she kissed me vanishing. And right then, every instinct in me screamed at me to move across the room, pull her into my arms, and assure her that everything will be alright. But when has anything ever been alright? She had exploded, all timidness disappearing as she charged towards me, her red hair flying

  • The Hybrid    The Pull Between Us 

    LIA’S POV I reel back in shock from his revelation. All the words I thought I wanted to say vanished. That can’t be possible. I don’t even have a wolf. They said someone like me could never have a mate. “I do not feel fear,” he says quietly. “It’s the opposite, actually. But the mere thought of something happening to you terrifies me. I want to kill every person who has ever hurt you and the last thing I want is to keep you by my side only to get you killed. My life is no place for you.” I can only watch him, speechless. If what he’s saying is true, everything I’ve felt begins to make sense. The need, one that has never existed before, how he occupies my thoughts even when he is not close. I have heard a lot of stories about the joy and pleasure of finding one's mate. Your other half, someone destined to be your own person. I used to dream of the day I would meet my own person, even though I knew it was something I would never have. But now I do. And he doesn’t want me. “Are you

  • The Hybrid    Open Hearts

    LIA’S POV He pulls his hand away from mine, and the sound of the chair moving against the floor fills the air as he rises to his feet. He turns away from me and starts pacing. My eyes follow his movement, confused by his behaviour. “Did I say something wrong?” I ask. He stops pacing and turns back to me. A strange emotion is etched on his face as he drags a hand through his hair. “You can’t keep staying here.” He says. “They’ll come back. It’s too dangerous out here.” I know he is worried for my safety, but I can keep the hurt from showing on my face.He pulls his hand away from mine, and the sound of the chair moving against the floor fills the air as he rises to his feet.

  • The Hybrid    Warmth

    LIA’S POV Warmth. That is the first thing I feel as I come out of my slumber. I can stay here forever, I muse, nuzzling closer to the hard surface beside me that seems to be the source of heat. My hand trails forward, exploring slowly. Warm skin. Hard, yet smooth. I feel a muscle tic underneath as my hand moves over it, before moving through soft hair. Wait…hair? The strong arm wrapped around my waist, which I’m just now noticing by the way, tightens, pulling me closer to Clint’s warm and very naked body, till I can feel something hard pressing into me. My eyes fly open immediately and I’m staring at straight at his chest. “Hello, beautiful,” His chest vibrates as he speaks and my eyes trail upwards to those hypnotic green orbs staring lazily at me. The memories of everything we did last night come rushing back and I can feel my face turn as red as a tomato. I turn away, unable to meet his eyes. You didn’t seem so shy yesterday, did you? The voice in my head taunts. Clint’s

  • The Hybrid    Intensity

    LIA’S POV In the heat of this whole situation, I almost laugh. Yes, the idea of having a mate is beautiful and sweet, but ever since I learnt that it’ll never be meant for me, I’ve always found the idea of cliche romance, the way mates act around each other, weird and annoying. But now, I feel my insides practically turn to mush. What the fuck?I think I hesitate for too long, because his fingers move under my chin, lifting my face upwards till I’m looking directly at him. Can my heart stop racing for a damn second and let me think?! His eyes are so intense. “Look,” I break the silence. “I’m not sure whether to apologise for doing that.” His face darkens. “Don’t ever,” he practically growls. “Uhmm…don’t kiss you again?” “Don’t apologise for doing that, ever.” My face flushes. “Ohh.” I need air to clear my head. I try to take a step back. His hand moves faster than I can think, holding me in place. “You feel it, don’t you?” “Feel what?” “The pull. You can’t stay away from m

  • The Hybrid    Under The Moonlight

    CLINT’S POV My entire body moves as I toss the body in my hands to the side and take off running in the direction of Lia’s scream, but I stop short before I can go far. One second, Lia’s scent is there, the scent that’s only hers, threading its way into the damp earth. And the next, gone. I inhale sharply. And then a deeper one. Again, there’s nothing. Lia is out there, bleeding, in the hands of those vicious savages, with no way for me to trace her. Something feral rips through my chest, my power threading through my blood, violent and unstoppable, threatening to destroy everything in its path. The wind picks up, the sound of the waterfall grows louder, the trees around me bend unnaturally as if even the forest can sense something is about to happen. Every minute that passes means Lia is getting taken even farther. She could be anywhere. The monster inside me reveals itself fully, ready to burn the world and everyone in it to find its mate. A guttural sound tears out of my th

  • The Hybrid    The Mate Pull

    CLINT’S POV Her scent is so damn intoxicating.I feel my fangs extend, their tip, so delicately sensitive, and it takes everything in me not to sink them into the delicate and very pale skin of her neck. I groan again, my voice thick with the force of my restraint and desire. My vampiric side has

  • The Hybrid    Heat

    LIA’S POV Clint and I fall into a strange dynamic. Ever since the day he brought me breakfast in bed, I’ve gotten to see another side of him entirely. He still can’t remember what happened that night, so there's no way to help me find my way home. But as the days pass, we grow closer and it turns

  • The Hybrid    New Beginings

    LIA’S POV I feel like I’m lying in the clouds. I nuzzle the pillow, my lips pulling up in an unconscious smile as I breathe in the scent of him. I faintly remember the feel of warm lips on my forehead from my dream, and I burrow even deeper into the sheet. I could lie here forever. There is a hint

    CLINT’S POV If my wolf, Kaine, weren’t a literal part of me, he would have thrown me against a tree as I watch my mate tremble in front of me. I can see her face clearly through the dark, red with fury. I watch her lower lip tremble. It’s fury and something else. Something she is hellbent on not
