Semua Bab The Alpha's Hybrid : Bab 41 - Bab 50

CALEB I sighed deeply, slamming the door to my Mercedes. Keys clanked in my hands as I unlocked my door and walked in, my conversation with Phoenix still fresh in my mind. She was back. I was happy. Or at least I was supposed to be except something didn't feel right. And I knew Jackson felt it too. I dropped my keys abruptly, jumping almost five meters backward when I saw Jacqueline seated cross-legged on my sofa. She waved innocently. "You took forever," she remarked thoughtfully. I nodded. "I was with Phoenix. What are you doing here?" She looked at me, confused. "I'm your mate, Caleb. I have every right to be here," she answered slowly, looking hurt. I walked up to her, taking a seat beside her. "I was thinking of leaving." She looked up. "And...?" I sighed. "I want to go back to my restaurant," I told her honestly. She turned to me. "What about me?" she asked, her eyes clouding with tears. "My purpose for being here has been fulfilled," I told her sincerely. She sho

PHOENIX Dusk slowly set in as I sat numbly, looking out the window. My gaze rested calmly on the expanse of land that was the compound. I sighed. Jackson had been gone the whole day. And I missed him. Our relationship seemed strained. And I couldn't tell why. My head snapped up when the living room doors opened. A sullen Jackson and a worried Caleb walked in. Caleb nodded in greeting. Jackson walked on, ignoring me. I looked at Caleb. "Where has he been?" He sighed tiredly. "He had business to finish at the Blue Moon Pack." My heart sank. Jackson walked back in just then, ringing for Amy. I turned to Caleb, forcing a smile. "Join us for dinner, Caleb." --- The dining room was fairly quiet as we ate. The only sound was the continuous click of our cutlery hitting the ceramic dishes. Anger and sadness brimmed inside me. "You went to the Blue Moon Pack," I murmured, turning to Jackson. He grunted what was supposed to be a yes. "When was this?" I pressed. He sighed. "Ear

UNKNOWN The wind billowed around me as I sat on a boulder, idly watching the expanse of land that was the compound. I heard shuffling of feet and stilled. The pair of feet moved closer, coming to rest behind me. "Mistress." Kenneth. I sighed, nodding for him to go on. "The informant is here to see you. He insists on speaking with you in person," Kenneth said, his Scottish drawl present. I turned stone-faced to Kenneth, my eyes flashing. My gaze darted to the figure beside him, my purple orbs coming to rest on blue-green ones and I stilled, my eyes widening. "You are the informant?" I asked in disbelief. A nod. I cleared my throat, quickly composing myself. "Speak," I bellowed. The informant bowed. "Mistress, I failed to get the information as you asked. The Luna's friend, Caleb, walked in on me in the Alpha's office. I had to retreat." I froze, my insides boiling. "Someone saw you?" I screeched. "Do you want to jeopardize everything we have worked so hard for?" "No, my

JACKSON Tension permeated the room as everyone sat at the very edge of their seats. "Why are we here again?" a lazy drawl taunted me. The source was a purple-eyed wizard. I cleared my throat. "I summoned you here because I need your help," I answered, my gaze fixed on who appeared to be their leader, a middle-aged woman with gleaming purple eyes. The wizard cackled, eyes flashing. I stiffened. "Why would a mighty Alpha such as yourself need help from a mere witch clan?" he rambled, his taunt clear. "Technically, it's not helping if you're fixing what you damaged," Caleb chirped in, annoyed. The wizard straightened, brows furrowing in confusion. The witch, the leader of their clan, turned abruptly to me, fixing me with a pertinent gaze. "What does that mean?" I straightened. "You must have heard about the recent attacks on my pack." "From investigations, we've deduced that with the help of a pack member, a witch is behind the attacks on us, for motives still unknown," I cont

PHOENIX The eerie darkness blanketed the whole compound, crickets chirping wildly. I looked on, reality sinking in. My mind went back to my earlier conversation with Lana. She had dropped by, fingers trembling wildly. I looked on, my gaze resting softly on her. She sat beside me and took my hands in her trembling ones. "Luna, I want you to listen to me. It's urgent," she mused, her voice rushed. I turned to her, silently willing her to speak. She sighed heavily. "I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't be quiet anymore. I think Conrad, my brother, is working against the Alpha." That had me sitting up, eyes wide. "He's been acting strangely. Distant. So I followed him one time. He climbed up the mountain and met with a man he called Kenneth. They talked about a woman they both referred to as 'Mistress.' They're plotting to attack, Luna. Tonight." I sat up. "What?" I squeaked. My throat burned from lack of use. Lana got up, dashing into the kitchen. She came back bearing a glass
