บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Hybrid : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Arizona I huffed and puffed, groaning deeply. We had been stuck in this library for hours, going through book after book, looking for anything we could find on Celeste's life. I had been complaining, now taking to huffing and puffing, to express my displeasure at having all my brain cells fried in this place. I lay on the sofa while Alex and Adriana walked around, searching through rows upon rows of books. Something didn't sit right with me, but I was yet to find out what it was. Adriana walked to the sofa I was lying on, book in hand, and sat beside me before reading aloud. "Reincarnation is a process signifying the reappearance and rebirth of a person. Though it happens sometimes, this process is not common. Usually, when it happens, the incarnate has a mission to fulfill. Though doubted, the incarnate rarely has memories of his previous life. It is sometimes said that the incarnate will keep being born, dying, and coming back, consistently repeating the process till he or she

PHOENIX I walked through the dark hallway, the stones beneath my boots creaking eerily. I had melted the iron bars surrounding the human-sized cage I was kept in, almost sizzling myself in the process. Now I was stuck trying to navigate a very dark hallway to escape. My ears perked up as I tried to listen. Thinking about it, I remembered Adriana saying I was also part vampire. I concentrated, hoping to unlock my vampire side. After much breath-holding, I was about ready to give up. Then my eyes started feeling itchy. A weird sensation stirred beneath my eyeballs and everything got clearer. I ran my tongue along my teeth to find wickedly sharp fangs. I quickly focused on navigating my way out. A small creak made me halt. I crouched low to see who it was. A guard walked past, and I held my breath. I could have easily set him on fire, but the last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself. A glow in the dark was a sure attention-grabber. When the guard had walked past, I cont

JACKSON I breathed in deeply, grief washing over me. Raw pain nagged at my heart, anguish clawing through my being. A hand on my shoulder startled me out of my misery, snapping me back to reality. David looked at me with pity. I felt lost. So lost. Sniffles sounded a few feet away. Red, puffy eyes stared back at me when I turned, the reason for those tears shattering my heart. Arizona whimpered. I sagged. She was gone. Grief once more clawed at my heartstrings, my chest tightening painfully. A tear rolled down my cheek. My ears began to ring. My vision blurred. She was gone. She was really gone. Someone muttered my name, shaking me, but it sounded far away. Too far away. I gasped and shot up, my vision clearing. My Beta, David, stood over me, peering at me strangely. A meticulous beeping filled the air. I turned and gasped in relief. She was alive. "Alpha, are you okay?" David's voice was filled with worry. His brows were furrowed in concern. I nodded, sitting up gro

PHOENIX I breathed in deeply, nerves rushing erratically through me as I sat still, getting prepped for my big day. Makeup artists ran around adding finishing touches to my makeup, hair, and dress, but I could scarcely register what they were doing. When they were done, they bowed deeply and left the room, leaving me to my bundle of nerves. I trembled. From the background, I heard the door open, and someone walked in, shutting it behind them. I turned to two smiling faces looking at me with pure elation. "You look beautiful, Phoenix," Jackson's mother, Eleanor, said. She walked up to me and pulled me into a hug, her lips pulled back in a kind smile. I closed my eyes and hugged her back, letting myself take in her rich lavender scent. Beside her, a throat cleared, and Eleanor released me. I was allowed to breathe for two seconds before I was gathered into the strong arms of Jacqueline, Jackson's little sister. I had to cough vigorously before she released me, smiling guiltily.

PHOENIX The chilly air whistled around, whipping through my red tresses as I walked purposefully out of Jackson's office and into the open. His face flashed before my eyes. He looked tired and sleep-deprived. But I had to talk to him. We were fairly weird mates. Selena, the Goddess of Mates, would surely have a field day laughing at our strange love story. I sighed. Why did our lives have to be bothered by sophisticated problems? An attack? Who would dare? The Blood Red Pack had its reputation for being ruthless. Whoever was doing this was either too stupid or too confident. I sighed again. This was all beyond me. I approached the playground and took a seat, watching as the children played happily, no doubt blissfully unaware of what was going on. A young girl in her late teens approached me and bowed deeply. "Luna," she greeted. I nodded, waving shyly. I could never get used to this. "What brings you here, Luna?" she asked, her hands folded formally behind her back. "I
