All Chapters of The Hybrid's Hope: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

LeviI wake to the sound of people talking. I’m disoriented enough that it takes me a moment to realize I’m not in the packhouse, I’m in Eventide, in a castle that shouldn’t have anyone but me and Hope.I get up and quickly change my clothes, tuning into the conversation. When I hear Beta Amber’s familiar voice, I realize they arrived while I was sleeping. They’re in the nursery next door, so I walk over, seeing Beta Carlos holding LJ and Beta Amber rocking in the chair, giving Matthan a bottle.“Levi,” Beta Amber says, greeting me.“Hello, Beta. Sorry I wasn’t awake when you arrived,” I say, nodding at Beta Carlos.“Nonsense. Hope said you stayed up all night so she could get some sleep. Not to worry, now that Carlos and I are here, you should both be able to get some sleep.”I walk over to Carlos and kiss my son’s head.“He’s a big boy. Hope says he’s predominantly Alpha wolf,” he says.“Yes, and he eats like one,” I say, chuckling. I walk over to Amber, kissing her cheek before kiss

LeviA couple of days after Betas Amber and Carlos arrived, we decided to go make our attempt to find Nigel and bring him and his daughters back with us.Since Amber didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Queen Lily when they first arrived and knowing Lily's family will be arriving soon for the birth of her first child, Amber and Hope decided to walk us to Araphyra.We stop, as we always do at the Troll Bridge to say hello to our friendly, neighborhood trolls and to show off our sons. They informed us that two of the troll couples are pregnant and will be having their own troll babies soon.“It feels like it’s always spring here in the fae lands, with pregnancies and babies everywhere you turn,” Amber says as we walk.Matthan has settled into a new eating routine and is now going two to two-and-a-half hours in between his nursing schedule. We called ahead to tell Queen Lily that we’d like to see Dr. Traeliorn while we’re here, rather than having Hope and Amber return on their own while

LeviWe dress and begin making our way toward Nigel’s den.“Can you smell the three females?” I ask him.“Yes, a mix of lupine and feline, it’s a strange combination.”His nose continues to twitch as we walk. “There are other shifters living in this area as well.”“Wolves?” I ask, wondering if there is a pack nearby.“No. A female panther who has a den near Nigel’s and a couple of fox shifters who crossed this way recently.”He stops, lifting his nose in the air and sniffing more intently.“What is it?” I ask.He’s quiet, focusing on whatever his more sensitive nose is smelling that we can’t yet smell. I’d be more frustrated by it if I hadn’t grown up with Hope, whose nose is just as good as Bjorn’s.“I’m not sure yet,” he says, although something about the look in his eye makes me think he knows more than he’s telling us.Rather than dwell on it, I begin focusing on finding Nigel’s scent. We’re here for a reason.Bjorn stops a moment before I smell Nigel. At that same moment, his wolf

HopeWhen we get to the castle, Tanya is there waiting for us.“Hope! Amber!” she says, racing up to us. She’s careful not to hug too tightly since I have a baby strapped to my chest and she now has a baby bump.“Hey, Tanya!”I greet King Dominic, Queen Tialha, Taranath, Alpha Christopher, and Fanella, Christopher’s sprite mate.Tanya introduces mom to her mate, and I introduce her to Queen Tialha.“Welcome to WoodLily. Will you be staying overnight? We understand your mates are out looking for more hybrids,” Queen Tialha asks.“No. My father’s sprite mates are back at our castle. We promised to look after them, but they were very excited to start making a baby play area for my sons and some other surprise they have planned for my dad,” I tell them.“Ohh, I wonder what it could be,” Fanella says excitedly.“I don’t know, but they were very excited when they returned from the forest yesterday. They said it was rich with life. The whole forest is in bloom after they spent the afternoon i

HopeMom and I brought the boys and Bjorn’s mates back to Araphyra this morning. We’re all anxious to see our mates again.I’ve been pacing around the castle, unsuccessfully trying to wait patiently for their return, when Lily finally walks into the library where we’re sitting.“They’re here.”I jump up, ready to greet my mate.“Hope, wait. Give us LJ and Matthan,” Bjork says.“Are you sure? Your sisters will be here too,” I say.Mom, Lily, and I agreed not to tell them about their mother yet. We want it to be a surprise and on the off chance that she’s not their mother, we didn’t want to get their hopes up.“I doubt we’ll be running into their arms like you will be. I’m sure Levi missed you as much as you missed him,” Artis says, taking Matthan.“Thank you!” I say, then race out of the castle. The group is just rounding the bend as I reach the top of the stairs. I have a moment to realize that Bjorn is carrying someone on his back and that there is another wolf with three hybrids besi
