บททั้งหมดของ The Awakening Of The Hybrid Luna : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Zander’s POVI’d always thought I could control myself. My fists. My rage. The wolf snarling just beneath my skin.But that night, there was no control. Only a gnawing, restless ache that refused to let me breathe.At first, it was subtle. A flicker in my chest, like a muscle twitch I couldn’t shake. I thought maybe I was imagining it. I tried to push it down. I tried to distract myself—TV blaring, soda in hand, scrolling my phone like an idiot.But then it grew sharper.The flicker became a drumbeat. The drumbeat became a roar. By the time the clock ticked past midnight, I couldn’t sit still. I was pacing the length of my living room like a caged animal, my wolf snarling with every turn. Zee was louder than he’d ever been, his voice rattling in my skull. She’s in pain.I stopped dead in the middle of the room, my chest heaving.Aurora.I didn’t need anyone to tell me. Didn’t need proof. I felt it in my bones, in the marrow of me. It wasn’t just worry—it was instinct, raw and primal

Zander’s POVHer words were still echoing when silence swallowed us whole.“I think it’s time I stop fighting it. Time I accept… you. And Rowan.”The world tilted. The ground under me felt unsteady, though I was sitting solidly on the porch steps with Aurora still pressed against my chest.Zee snarled instantly. Ours. Not his. Never his.I clenched my jaw, trying to breathe through the fire in my veins. My wolf’s possessiveness surged hot and sharp, demanding I reject what she’d just said, demanding I bare my teeth and claim her fully, make her forget Rowan ever existed.But I couldn’t.Not when her tears were still wet against my shirt. Not when her voice had cracked on the word Rowan, not with disgust or reluctance, but with need.She needed him.The thought ripped through me like a blade.I hated Rowan Rivers. His calm, his certainty, the way he walked into her life and looked at her like she was already his. I hated the way Aurora looked back sometimes—confused, drawn, like her

Aurora’s POVBy the time I got to school the next morning, my stomach was already in knots.I’d thought the night with Zander and Rowan had drained me, but apparently, I still had energy left for panic. Every step down the hallway felt too loud, like everyone knew. Like the word hybrid was carved across my forehead and the phrase I chose both of them was flashing in neon lights above my head.But of course, no one was staring at me. Just another day in Pine Ridge High.Well… except for Ember.The second she spotted me by the lockers, she broke into a grin so wide I thought her face might split.“Rory!” she squealed, practically sprinting over. Before I could react, she crushed me into a hug that knocked the air out of me. “Oh my Goddess, you have to tell me everything right now.”Heat rushed to my face. “Ember—”“You and my brother!” she cut me off, bouncing on her toes like she was ten years old again. “Finally! I knew it, I knew it. Don’t even try to tell me otherwise, Aurora Hay

Zander’s POVBy the second day of all the bullshit whispers, I’d had enough.Everywhere Aurora walked, eyes followed her. Every conversation seemed to cut off when she passed. It wasn’t just the humans, either. The pack-born students were the worst — sharp stares, hushed speculation, a tension rolling through the halls like the air before a storm. When they should be the ones that kept their mouths shut the most considering I was there alpha. And she felt it.I could see it in the way her shoulders hunched tighter, the way her eyes darted down, the way her fingers twisted at the strap of her bag like she wanted to disappear.No. Not happening. Aurora was mine. Rowan’s too, fine — but ours. And no one was going to make her feel like she was a freak show for it.So when I heard the third idiot of the morning whisper “shared mate” under his breath, I slammed him into a locker so hard the hallway went silent.“Say it again,” I snarled, my wolf bleeding into my voice. My hand fisted in

Zanders POV The second the bass rattled through the walls of my house, I knew this wasn’t the “small get-together” Rory had wanted.But the truth was? I was more than excited to see the surprise on her face when she found out. The Shadow Fangs knew how to throw a party. And if the whole damn school needed to see her — to see my Luna standing at the center of it all — then so be it.The moment Rory stepped off the last stair, I swore the whole damn house shifted.Music still pounded, the Shadow Fangs laughed, the air was still thick with the smell of pizza and soda and wolves cutting loose — but none of it mattered.She mattered.Her wide green eyes searched the room like she wasn’t sure she belonged here. Like one wrong step might make the floor open up and swallow her whole.My chest tightened. My wolf slammed against my ribs. Ours. Protect. Claim. Show them who she is.I didn’t even think. I pushed off the wall, cutting through the noise. “Rory’s here,” I announced, my voice carry
