All Chapters of Hybrid: Between Alphas and Secrets: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alina´s POVWhat time are you leaving my house? You don't have anything else to do, do you? I shout at Alfa Marco as I try, for the hundredth time, to send a message to Sâmia. “Where are you? I'm worried.” But there's no reply. No notification. No sign. Her disappearance is starting to make me uneasy, and Marco's presence in my house two days ago doesn't help matters. I mean, he tried to kill me and he's still here, acting like a good Samaritan? This man has no idea. My house should be my sanctuary, but his presence seems to consume the entire space, making the atmosphere suffocating. - I'll leave when you're fit to be alone,” he snaps impatiently. - I'll be much better off when you decide to leave. Seriously, I can't stand looking at your face any longer. His eyes narrow and his voice carries a warning tone: - Pay attention to the way you talk to me. Don't forget who's in charge here. I take a deep breath and put my hand to my chest, dramatizing. - Alfa, I'm sorry... - I le

Josh's POVI thought becoming Marco's Beta would give me more time with my mate, but reality slapped me in the face. The damn Alpha spends more time in the pack next to her than I do. We haven't been able to plan anything, not even a puppy, because Mila always throws in my face the fact that I'd probably have to look after him on my own. And to be honest, she's not wrong. I wouldn't abandon her, ever. But I wouldn't be the most present father in the world either, since I spend more time outside than inside the pack. The guilt weighs like an anchor on my chest. My partner isn't from here. By law, she had to come with me. But if I had the choice... I would have stayed there. I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble, I wouldn't have been caught up in greed. Now, I'm living this farce of loyalty to Alfa Marco, while being held hostage by this damned blackmail. I stole from the Alpha. I betrayed my own pack. And I'm forced to walk a tightrope, not knowing when I'll be unmasked. Some

Marco´s POVMy body moves restlessly through the empty hut, my footsteps reverberating in the silence filled with memories. The dense air seems to weigh on my shoulders, impregnated with the residual energy of what happened here. My thoughts run over each other, swirling like a relentless storm inside my mind. The place that once exuded a dark power is now nothing but a lifeless void-thanks to me. It's for the best. If I had stayed a second longer, I would have killed that witch with my bare hands.But that didn't stop someone else from suffering.I clench my fists, the tension coursing through my muscles like static electricity before a storm. I've already solved that problem. I've cleaned up the mess. And yet the restlessness inside me doesn't subside. There's something out of place, something I can't name.Alina.The most unbearable woman I've ever met. Stubborn, provocative, rebellious to the point of madness. And yet I still haven't broken up with her. Why is that? Because, like

Sâmia´s POVSuddenly, I wake up with a jolt, the icy water running down my body like sharp blades. A scream escapes my lips, mixed with fright and pain. My heart races and my eyes go wide as they meet his.He stares at me, implacable, with a hatred that makes me cringe inside. His gaze is that of a predator, and I am his prey. To anyone on the outside, it would be unthinkable that he was my father and I his daughter. But I know exactly who he is. I know what he's capable of. And I know there's no easy escape. But I don't need to act too quickly.When I get out of the shower, I pick up my cell phone and see more than a hundred messages and calls from Alina. I feel a tightness in my chest, she's in a difficult situation too, but from what I've read, she's fine as far as possible. Forgive her, but I too have my own demons to face. Like it or not, she has a better life than me. I know that growing up without a mother and father must have been difficult, but that doesn't change the fact th

Marco´s POVHonestly? I didn't even consider replying to that poor thing's message. But then it occurred to me that she might be of some use. After all, she's directly linked to Alina... and anything to do with that woman piques my interest.The truth is that I'm savoring every second of Samia's despair. I won't deny it: there's something extremely satisfying and invigorating about seeing someone so desperate. It's no news that Alfa - her father - rules with an iron fist. With his children, he's always been even crueler. To have one of his offspring crawling at my feet? Almost poetic.She arrived at my office on time. Funny, punctuality is the first mask of submission. I left her in the waiting room for two hours. I needed to gauge how much she was willing to suffer to get what she wanted.I wanted to measure how much she needed me... And I was willing to humiliate myself for it.My secretary told me that she was restless, biting her nails, tapping her feet, looking everywhere. A corn
