BellaโAnd the voices you are hearing are the Wolves, Lycans and Hybrids that are โฆ.โโI donโt want to hear voices!โ I mutter, covering my ears with my hands. But no matter how tightly I pushed my hands against my ears, they were still there. I could understand how people went crazy.He pulls my hands away, โYou learn to block them out. Thatโs what my mum did. Thatโs what I do.โโAnd Iโm really the Queen?โHe points to the small crescent on his neck. โYou marked the King.โ He mutters with a smile.โBut Lilah is still alive?โโYes, but it doesnโt work like that. The blood of a King resides in the men of he family, not mum. She became Queen by marking my father.โโSo Halle would never have officially become Queen?โHe shakes his head, โAs much as she wanted it, no. Though I was prepared to let her have control.โโRight. But we talked about this. Being a Queen wasnโtโฆ..โHe cocks an eyebrow at me and I didnโt know how to finish the sentence. I was someone who had a terrible childhood. I

BellaโWhat are you doing to me?โ The icy cold of his touch was spreading through my arm. He had touched me before, but it wasnโt like this. He had done something by gripping my wrist. Some kind of poison from his touch.โLet go of me!โโCall him!โ Linc demands.I try to peel his icy fingers from my skin.โCall him!โ He demands again. โLet him see what happens to you.โI close my mouth and stare into his insanely dark eyes. I had to keep calm. If Aiden felt one ounce of my worry he would be out here. I couldn't think about it either or he would know.โDo as you are told!โ He snaps and tightens his grip on my wrist.My heart rhythm steadies as I stare at him. I wasnโt going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. โWhy did you kidnap Amelia?โHis lip twitches as he glares at me.It had to have something to do with me. Something Aiden said, about us being the same age. But if she was kidnapped when she was two, there would be no way that she would know her full name. Unless th

AidenSelene disappears before I get to ask her more about Lincโs family. I had witnessed his wifeโs death. I was there the moment my father ripped out her throat. He had done it for what she had done to his children. Their children.I didnโt even have a chance to ask my father if it were true. But surely the Moon Goddess wouldnโt lie to me. โIs she ever wrong?โ Bella mutters from the sofa. She was studying her own wrist, the black hand print was almost gone, just leaving an ashy tone to her pale skin.โIโฆ.โโI donโt understand why Linc is punishing you. If your father was the one who killed her, then he has already got his revenge.โ She mumbles. โIt was my idea.โShe gazes up at me. โYou wanted them dead?โโNot the kids. Itโs true that my mother was worried. Itโs true that Lincโs wife was trying to stage something, but we caught on to it early. Bella, she was committing treason by plotting against the King. Death is the standard punishment.โโIt seems like death is everyoneโs punis

BellaThe men talk like Iโm not even in the room. Aslow keeps his arms folded across his chest. His green eyes remain focussed on Aiden. Rhys has his hands jammed into his pockets. He had yellow eyes like Leighton. Every now and then, they kept flickering to me and then back to Aiden.After the tricks of those around me, I wanted to keep my distance from others, until this was over. But Aiden's words had reassured my mind. He could link them, it was how he was certain it was them.โIโm betting that in twelve hours he is going to expect Bella to be dead.โ Rhys glances at me again. โHis deal wasnโt even a real deal. Just a trap.โโYouโre wrong.โ I mutterAll three sets of eyes are on me.โHe said that he is a man of his word. Why would he offer a deal if he is expecting me to be dead?โโBella,โ Aiden takes my hands in his. His warmth spreads nicely through my soul. โWe both know a lot of people say things that they donโt mean. Or things that they never intend to follow through on.โโHe

BellaArrows whizz past my head, close enough to my ears that I hear them whistle. Rhys had dropped to the floor in front of me, an arrow sticking out of his chest.He grabs my leg, pulling me to the floor. โGet your ass down!โ He yanks on the arrow that is in the middle of his chest and with his teeth clenched, he pulls it out and tosses it to one side.More arrows fly past our heads. I hear moans of pain and the lights go out, plunging everyone into darkness.The arrows made it clear who was attacking us. The Hunters and they were stupid if they thought we couldnโt see in the dark.โWhere are they coming from?โ I ask Rhys.โThereโs no time, I need to get you to safety.โI glare at him in the darkness as more arrows fly past us and he throws his body on top of mine.โGet the fuck off of me!โ I snap, pushing him off. Through the open front door, I could see a machine that was loaded with arrows. It fires them off again, sending a dozen arrows our way.Screams and moans come from thos

Aiden โDo you want me to go and check on her?โ Rhys asks as everyone gets back to work. โNo. Sometimes, she just needs her space.โ She was overwhelmed. I had seen how wide her eyes were as the new pack members made their way towards us. I had felt every flicker of her emotions. Becoming a Queen was one thing. But to have an entire population bow down to her was entirely different. She didnโt grow up with this expectation from her family. She needed time to adjust. โShe has a lot of responsibilities now.โ โI know Rhys. She just needs time to find her feet. I wasnโt the perfect Alpha when you lot made me yours. Give her time, I have no doubts about the type of Queen she will be.โ He bobs his head. โI like her. Sheโs feisty.โ โAnd just what we all need.โ He looks at Connor who had fallen asleep in my arms. โYou happy about him?โ โHeโs fine.โ I had gotten used to Connor. His smile always made Bella smile, even when she was feeling like crap. โHe thinks you're his dad.โ โI know.โ

BellaโI thought she didnโt have long left?โ Aiden asks as everyone stares at me.โI hear her.โ I mutter, pointing to my head. โItโs weak, but I hear her. Linc hasnโt fed from her, heโs been feeding her, letting her recover.โโWould someone like to share who Amelia is?โ Eli asks. The light catches his blue eyes as he stares at me.โAmelia Carrington.โ Aiden replies. โThe girl who went missing as a kid. Linc has her as a hostage.โโWasnโt she something like two years old?โโYes, and apparently she is alive after all these years.โI didn't like the way he said โapparentlyโ. It made it sound as though it was a lie.There were whispers among the men. They all appeared to know her story. I had never heard of it until Aiden told me. My father never mentioned it, he didnโt even mention he had a brother.โHave you told Miles?โ Eli asks Aiden.โWhen I realised he was still alive, I tried, but he doesnโt want to believe me.

BellaI had sat with Eli for a few hours. We didnโt talk much and it was nice, there were no expectations. Every now and then we would do a loop of the house. He always insisted that I come with him because he would never forgive himself if he was responsible for my death.By the time I returned to bed it was almost dawn and Aiden had settled down. Oblivious to my absence. Yet, the moment I slide into bed, he did his usual thing of sleepily pulling me in against him. His lips lazily find mine.โCanโt sleep?โ He asks with his eyes closed. I was certain he wasn't even awake, it had just become his auto response when I got up in the night.โItโs almost morning and I needed some water.โ I lie, not wanting him to worry. He refuses to let go of me as I eventually drift off.By the time the alarm goes off, I was the one in bed alone. Sprawled out with the bedsheets loosely draped over me. I still had my clothes on from when I went outside and hoped that Aiden hadnโt noticed when he got up.

The Hybrids Fated Mateย ย ย Epilogue
Bella It was a strange few days, watching Aiden put plans in place. I knew where we were going, he had made that clear and I couldnโt wait. I had never felt more at peace than when we were in the forest and I couldn't wait to show the boys. โThatโs all my stuff packed.โ Katie whispers as she drops one last box into the back of Leightons van. I had barely seen her smile recently, unless it was a front she was putting on for Flynn. But a natural smile just didnโt seem to exist anymore. I hoped she would get past her mothers death. โYou donโt have to come.โ I say for the hundredth time. โYes I do. Leighton says that he wonโt leave me, but he wonโt leave you either. nd you are the closest thing I have to family besides Flynn." There was a strange tone in her voice. One that I hadnโt heard from her before. โAre you mad?โ โNoโฆI justโฆ.โ She tucks her blonde hair behind her ears and scans the grounds looking for someone. โLeightonโs inside with Aiden. If thatโs who you are looking for
The Hybrids Fated Mateย ย ย One Hundred and Twenty One.
AidenโWell she has to be wrong?!โ Leighton shoves his hands in his pockets, completely unfathomed by what I had told him.โWhy would she kill herself? Why would she tell me all that if she is lying and then stop her own heart? what would be the point?โโGuilt,โ he shrugs his shoulders. โShe knew you wouldnโt let her get away alive.โI groan and lean back in my chair, resting my hands behind my head as I stare up at the ceiling.โBellaโs with Katie?โHe nods at me. โThey are trying to decide on the best way to tell Flynn. Chances are, he already knows.โ He studies me. โThis is a good thing. The problem dealt with itself. You should be happy. But youโre not, are you?โโNo.โโHeโs a pup, what harm can he do?โโHe wonโt be a pup for long. You know as well as I do, he will be fully grown by the time his first birthday comes around. And I canโt help wondering if Eden was right.โโItโs not the first time we have been screwed over by a witch that has been spouting off a load of crap.โ Leight

AidenI was grateful for the change of pace, standing guard of my own packhouse. The peace and quiet gave me time to think, to put a plan in place. To decide whatโs best for my family.It was dark outside, and the clouds above us were thick. Unusually, you couldnโt see many stars. A storm was brewing, I could smell it in the air.I look at the other Hybrids, Wolves and Lycans that are standing guard. All giving up their own time to either protect my home or theirs. No one moves, everyone is as still as a statue, alert and prepared.I knew Eden was coming back. I knew this storm that was brewing above us was not a natural storm. And everyone else did too. Thatโs why the chatter had stopped and thatโs why everyone is so alert. She was trying to mess with our senses.โYou should go inside.โ Rhys whispers next to me. โYou are the King, and you and I both know she will target you.โโI have to do this.โ I mutter back.โWhat about Bella and your son?โโIโm doing this for them.โHe nods his h

BellaThe Omega leaves me with the three boys. While Connor and Cayden were messing around trying to bounce on the bed, Flynn just stares out the window, his small hand coiled up in the curtain.Stepping next to him, his eyes donโt leave the window. I assumed he was looking for his mother.โYou donโt need to be scared.โ I link him, knowing it was the only way to talk to him.โIโm not.โ His small voice answers me backโWhy didnโt you tell everyone that you were still seeing your mum?โ I was curious. If it hadnโt been for Cayden, we would never have known.He wrinkles up his nose. โIs she in trouble?โโShe is.โI watch his shoulders drop a little and his eyes flicker up to me. โKatie says we shouldnโt lie.โโYour sister is very smart.โ I smileA small smile appears on his lips. โSheโs the best. She looks after me.'I couldnโt agree more. She was a good friend too.โDo you know where your mum is?โ I ask calmly, hoping that if he knew, he would tell me but I didn't want to push him, he wa

AidenI was trying to keep my mate focussed. But I couldnโt help but be curious about the shifter's words. Had Bella really been born as a pup? Creedance hadnโt said anything when we had interrogated him, but then he had never said that Bella was a twin either.Looking around the room, blood was sprayed all up the walls and across the carpet. The shifters decapitated body discarded on the floor. Leighton was holding Katie against his chest, running his fingers through her blood stained blonde hair, muttering reassuring words but his eyes were on me. I knew why. Being born in pup form was extremely rare, there had only ever been a handful of recordings in history. And all were female, and all with a power unlike anyone else's. They just needed to learn to tap into it. If it was true about Bella, she was more powerful than we realised.Everything was starting to fall into place. The size of her Wolf, the delayed first shift, her need to protect the vulnerable, and why Selene was so des

BellaโChristian. Christian is fucking dead. I ripped him and his Rogues apart.โ I spitโYes, I remember it well.โ She smiles. โYou really are something else. He said you were special and yet I was always sceptical until I saw you that day. And what a magnificent Wolf you are, wasting no time to shred him to pieces. I was livid and yet mesmerised. You really could have provided him with a brilliant child.โ she laughs, wiping her chin and spitting more blood on the floor.โYou watched?โ I mutter, wondering where she had been.โLike I said, I was fascinated.โโSo how do you plan on carrying out Christianโs work? All those women got away. And do you really expect me to let you leave, alive?โโDid they get away?โ Cassie mocks as she leans her back against the wall, smiling to herself. So much had gone on that I hadnโt even had a chance to find any of the women that Aiden and Leighton helped to escape. I had no idea about their children, I had no idea about any of them. They had been taken

BellaโIs he serious? Is he really expecting us to believe that he hasnโt done something to my Dad?โI watch Katie pace. Her arms swinging frantically at her sides, her hands are clenched into tight balls. I knew Katie, she was never angry, emotional yes, frantic sometimes, but angry is not something I usually see. If I hadnโt dragged her out of the lounge, I was certain she would have attacked someone. I wondered if it was what Aiden saw when he looked at me sometimes.โYou are right.โ I mutter. โSomething doesnโt seem right.โโSo you agree?โ She stops and stares at meSlowly, I nod my head. Eliโs words, his denial, something just seemed off.โYou should tell them. Flynn, Connor and Cayden are all down there with him.โโAnd so is Aiden and Leighton. Trust me, he is not getting anywhere near the boys.โShe starts pacing again and I try to hold in the laugh. It was funny, we all did it when we were frustrated, like it was drummed into us how to react when we were overwhelmed.โHe said

LeightonโWhat do you mean you canโt tell us?โ Katie ask as I push bookcases in front of the windows.โIs it Aiden?โ Bella queries.I turned around to look at them. Katie had her arms folded across her chest while Bella stood with her hands on her hips. Both of them glaring at me.โAiden is fine. Iโve been ordered to not let you out of the room and to ensure you are all protected.โ"You know I can shift, right?" Bell mutters, rolling her eyesโBut why?โ Katie frowns at me. Feeling all her emotions was still taking a lot of getting used too. Yes Iโve always been able to scent changes in peoples moods, but feeling them when your mate can be an emotional wreck was hard.โYes, I know you can shift Bella. They were Aidenโs orders. I donโt know any more than what he has told me. He said he would talk to us when he gets back.โโBack from where? Leighton you are being very secretive!โ Bella scowls at me.โIโve told you everything I know. Aiden is with Rhys, he isnโt alone. You know as well as

AidenI knew Bella would be losing all sense of being calm, I just had to hope that Leighton and Katie could keep her in the house. That Leighton would use his Beta skills to stop her from coming after me.Guards surrounded the pack house while others were already searching houses, looking for Eli.Katie had said that Leighton could still scent Eden. That she had tried covering her scent but had been watching them as they talked.Sniffing the air, I canโt scent her, not immediately. I look around at the guards who are watching me with interest. Some of them were Hybrids, they would be able to scent her too, but they were holding their places as ordered.โRhys!โI call him forward seeing as he was watching me the most. He jogs towards me, a wide smile on his face. The guards that had been stood either side of him take a step toward each other, covering the gap that Rhys had left.โYes Alpha.โโHave there been any sightings of either of them?โโThe Witch,โ He whispers, โis watching at a
