All Chapters of The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 55

**Laura's POV**My body numbs instantly, my dry mouth turning into a drought, as dread and rage overpower me. Everything around me slows. I’m frozen like a deer in headlights. I barely register Jerry's hands clutching me tightly.That monster's eyes are fixed on me. He gives me a tender smile… something I haven’t seen in a long time. The very same smile he used to wear in the early days of our relationship, back when I actually believed Michael was going to be my happily ever after.“Sweetheart, Laura?” the host calls, snapping me out of my shock.“Why is he here?” I whisper, barely audible, backing further into Jerry's arms. Xavier's face shows no concern, his eyes drinking in the unfolding chaos. Probably because he knew bringing an ex makes for good drama to boost ratings. Arseholes. I’m not going to give it to them—“Lau, I know things ended badly between us, but I still care about you. I want to fix it. When you disappeared, I nearly lost my mind,” Michael says. Is he for real?

**Jeremy’s Pov**I'm sitting in the back of the car on our way to my forest manor. It's dead silent. Adrian is entirely focused on the road, and my gem is fast asleep in my arms, her head against my chest.When she got her stitches, I asked the nurse to give her something for the shock.

He is the least of our concerns. It's Mother and that scheming Bridget… but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, our mate is our primary focus.”Drud hums in agreement.As I lean in t

**Laura's POV**The throne room is enormous, vaulted ceilings arching above us, walls carved with wolves, moons and ancient symbols I don’t recognise. But all of it fades the moment my eyes meet theirs.And I thought Xander was big, the king is massive, his presence pressing against my skin like fire. Dark brown eyes and raven-black hair, like an older version of Jerry, twenty years from now, commanding, powerful, impossible to ignore.Beside him sits his queen, her posture perfect, chin lifted high, eyes blue, sharp and cold as frost. Her fiery red hair is the same fiery red as Jerry’s. She is beautiful, but everything about her radiates disapproval, even the way she blinks feels condescending."Such a grand entrance!" the king booms, amusement ringing in his voice. “Welcome home, my son.”Jerry gave a courteous bow. He had transformed completely from the once jolly comedian into a regal prince.“Father,” he says with respect.His mother glances at him, then at me, her gaze slicing a
