All Chapters of Hybrid Luna to the Alpha : Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

“Hold on,” I said, blinking. “I must’ve heard you wrong. Did you just say you were an Underdog too?”Kael gave a small laugh, scratching the back of his neck. “Nope, you heard right. I used to be one. I didn’t get my wolf until recently.”“Seriously?” My brows shot up. “That must’ve been rough… I can’t imagine the kind of things you went through.”He shrugged, a crooked smile forming. “It had its moments. But it wasn’t all bad. I mean, my brother’s the Alpha. Most people were too scared to mess with me—usually afraid Kieran would rip out their throats if they did.”He laughed again, but this time there was a lingering sadness underneath it.“But still,” he continued, his voice a little softer now, “it was hard. Not being able to shift. Not being able to mindlink. It felt like I was watching everyone else live in a world I inside a world I couldn’t reach. I was always on the outside.”I stayed quiet, listening to him.“My dad… he thought I was useless. A disappointment. And honestly, m

Kieran’s POV:“So let me get this straight,” I said, leaning against the table, “you think Ivy is the Silver Wolf Luna. The one from the prophecy.”Raya didn’t even look up from the massive leather-bound book spread out before us. “No. I don’t think I know she is.”Running her finger along the yellowed parchment pages, and they crackled to her touch, she pointed out a line of words on the book and said. “I mean, look at this…" The descriptions match her perfectly.”“And how would you know that?” I stared at her in disbelief.“Because it’s written here, can’t you see?”“Yes, I can see.” I jabbed a finger at the nearly faded text, “I can see that it’s written in gibberish.”“No, see, you’re not familiar with this language, but I am.” She stabbed a finger at the text. “This is an Old Lunar script. I’ve studied it for years. This—” she traced a line with her index finger, “—this right here talks about her.”“Listen again,” ‘Raya leaned forward, jabbing the page. “A Luna chosen by the go

Ivy's Pov: His tongue found its way into my mouth and began intertwining with mine. I tried to push him away, but instead, he wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling me closer until there was no space between us. His kiss was hungry, almost desperate, like he needed this more than anything in the world. My heart hammered against my ribs. I could swear he heard it. My fingers curled in his hair, grabbing most of what I could of it. It seemed to have excited him because his hand slid down to my waist, gripping it firmly as he hoisted me up onto the bathroom counter. He pulled out of the kiss, leaving my lips swollen and tingling. His eyes were clouded with lust and an intensity that made it impossible for me to look away from him. Then I realised it was his wolf manifesting, not him. “Kieran…” I breathed out, as he leaned in again. This time his lips trailed down my jaw, it felt featherlight yet it burned with warmth at the same time. I clutched his damp hair, the strands were sti

“You can’t read?” she echoed, her tone soft and not judgmental.I shook my head, embarrassed. “Not properly. I mean… I know a few words here and there. Signs. Simple stuff. But full pages? Books?” I shrugged, forcing a laugh that didn’t reach my eyes. “They all look the same. I used to pretend I could, just so people would leave me alone about it.”Raya didn’t respond right away. Instead, she reached for a trowel and began digging a small hole beside one of the rosemary plants.“You know,” she said at last, “my mom used to say knowledge isn’t just in books—it’s in how we live, how we listen, and how we learn to ask for help.”I blinked at her.She turned to me with a small smile. “So maybe reading’s not your strength yet—but I can read the books to you. We can go through them together.”The knot in my chest loosened, just a little. “You’d do that?”“Of course I would,” she said, nudging me with her elbow. “We’re sisters now, aren’t we? That means you don’t have to carry this alone. An
