Semua Bab Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Alina´s POV"My back burns like it's on fire. If someone had told me some time ago that I would be in this kind of pain, I would never have believed it. Now, chained in this dungeon amidst my own blood and vomit, I wonder how I got here. How can a man who claims to love me do this to me?Today is one of those busy days for me—the day to con yet another poor guy who's taken an interest in Samia. Lucky for her, since she keeps such a private life, they barely know her face at those dances she complains about, the ones her father forces her to attend. But that’s the deal. I have to help a friend, especially when she pays me ten grand a date.Something feels different today, though. A weight sits heavy on my chest. I pop one of my pills, hoping for quick relief from my anxiety. In the meantime, I gather my long brown hair into a ponytail, swipe on a light shade of eyeshadow to highlight my brown eyes, and apply a rosé lipstick that enhances my lips. The black dress I slip into falls just

Samia´s POVI spent the whole morning tense and didn't even manage to get ready as usual, so I took the first simple black dress pants I could find and paired them with a green blouse, but I left my hair loose and had to put on a lot of make-up to cover up the dark circles under my eyes, as I hadn't slept for an hour last night.My hands are sweating. Alina must be worse off than me, because every time I passed her in the company she looked at me with watery eyes and her appearance today is not the best. Her eyes are swollen and her hands are shaking.I send her a quick message and make an appointment for lunch at 11, we need to talk urgently.Disc a quick message to her:Samia (message): “How are you, dear?”Alina (message): “I don't know.”“I still feel a weight in my chest, as if each breath is more difficult than the last. Anxiety is consuming me and I can't think straight. This is not normal, I don't feel like myself.”Samia (message): “She goes to the bathroom to splash water on

Alina´s POVI was at home, but all the problems of the meeting still hung in the air, leaving the atmosphere gloomy, almost oppressive. It was as if the tension of that night refused to go away. I tried to distract myself with a book, but my mind was far away, lost in thoughts about everything that happened. An unsettling foreboding tormented me, as if something was about to happen and I couldn't help it.Suddenly, a sound interrupted the silence—a knock on the door, low but enough to startle me. My heart raced, and I walked to the door with hesitant steps. When I opened it, I came face to face with an unknown man. He was well dressed and had a serious posture that only increased my apprehension.“Good evening, Alina. I'm a friend of Sâmia's. She asked me to talk to you. May I come in? By the way, my name is Lucian” - said the unknown man.I really didn't know what to think. Something felt wrong. The way he said my name, and the feeling in my chest came back hard and I swallowed.“Wha

Samya´s POVMy goodness, it's almost quarter past three in the morning. I've been trying unsuccessfully to reach Alina for three hours now. My God in heaven, what are we going to do? The situation has gotten out of hand.I felt a chill run down my spine when she said there was a stranger in her house. I didn't send anyone. So who was he?Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do but wait. If I leave the house at this time, my father will want to interrogate me with a million questions: where am I going, who am I going with? But I'm really worried. I've already sent dozens of messages asking her to come to my house, telling her not to stay there alone, but she's simply disappeared off the map.Suddenly, my cell phone vibrates. It's a message from her.- Everything under control.I reply immediately:- What do you mean “all under control”?- Everything under control, Samya. I've sorted it out. But actually, I still really need your help to solve a little problem... I need to take the garb

Josh´s POVThe pain still pulsed through my body, every bruise a reminder of Alpha Marco's fury. He had shown no mercy. I knew my mistake was unforgivable. Losing sight of Alina, allowing her to attack me... But even with all the training I'd had at the Alpha's side, something in her made me pull back. It wasn't a simple instinct for self-preservation - it was something bigger, something I couldn't describe.My legs could barely support me when I finally made it out of the dungeon. Every step was a torment. My body struggled to recover, but the pain was profound. I leaned against the cold wall for a moment, breathing hard. I couldn't show weakness, I couldn't afford to succumb to the pain. After a few minutes, I gathered my strength and headed for my room.The hot steam from the bath relaxed my muscles, but it didn't dispel the revolt. How could I have feared a hybrid? My mind tried to justify my reaction, but the answer lay in the memory of her eyes. They were the Alpha's eyes. That
