The Hybrid's Hope のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

LeviI’m pretty sure my heart stopped when Hope told me she was rejecting me. I can’t … the thought of living without her makes me ill.I’m furious with the people who did this to her. I was so close, so CLOSE, to getting her to see how perfect we are together and now, after one morning with a bunch of fucking assholes, we’re back to square one.When Emlyn linked me that Hope had been bullied and was upset, I was already on my way to the packhouse. I’d done my duty for Grace and ducked out early, but now, I’m fucking furious. I’m ready to go back to the old packhouse and challenge every one of those Alphas whose Betas hurt my mate like this.“I can’t face them again, Levi. I can’t. I’ll have to accept Alpha Emerson some other time. I can’t …” she stops as she chokes on her words and her tears start again.“I’ll let Grace and Emerson know,” I tell her, still holding her.I look around, realizing that Hope ran to the place where everything was perfect last night, where WE were perfect.‘

LeviThe day after Tanya left, Hope and I began the long drive to Canada. After nearly having her reject me, I feel much better now that Tanya’s time with Hope seems to have helped her to settle. She hasn’t accepted me like she had before, but she isn’t actively trying to reject me either.I’m hoping that this time together, away from the packs, will bring us closer together.Because we’re driving, it takes us nearly two weeks to get to Newfoundland, Canada. Granted, we stopped along the way to see the sights which was a lot of fun. We’d gone up through the Appalachian Mountains, stopping in Great Smokey Mountains National Park, then we’d taken the Blue Ridge Parkway north, stopping along the way until we reached Shenandoah National Park. Then we’d made our way through the Poconos before stopping at Niagara Falls, which neither of us had seen. It was really special to stand there with my arms wrapped around the woman I love and watch the power of the water as it gushed over the falls.

LeviMatthew, Mr. Russell, and I all stand and wait for Hope to calm Tanya.“Are you staying?” Tanya asks when she finally pulls away.“Of course. I wanted to surprise you, but maybe it would have been better if you’d known I was coming,” Hope says, leading Tanya back into her dressing room.“I’m just so glad you’re here. I know Micah is gone, but I …”“I understand, Tanya. He’s not here. Mr. Northway killed him,” Hope tells her.She nods and takes a deep breath. I can hear the crowd shouting for her. However, when she looks in the mirror, she realizes that she’s a mess.“Dad!” she says.“I’ll get the makeup team back in here, Tanya. Just relax,” he says, and goes off to get whoever is going to transform Tanya into a pop star rather than a terrified woman.“Hey, Levi,” she says, seeing me in her mirror.“Hey, Tanya.”“Sorry to be such a bummer,” she says, before blowing her nose.“You’re fine. I’m glad we were able to get here,” I say.While her team gets her looking like herself again

HopeI stare at the huge man as Qadira assesses him.‘Is he our father?’ I ask her.‘He’s right. He smells like kin, but it’s hard to determine. He smells … off.’‘Off? What does that mean?’ I ask.‘Like maybe whatever they did to him in the laboratory stuck with him,’ she says.“My name is Hope Nunez. I’m looking for my biological father. He was held captive by scientists who used his sperm to impregnate my mother, then they did experiments on her while she was pregnant with me.”He holds my gaze. “Well, looks like you found me. Leave the wolf and come with me,” he says, starting to turn.“I’m not leaving Levi here,” I say, not moving.“Wolves are not welcome in my den,” he says.I nod. “I understand.”He turns and begins walking away. I turn as well and begin pulling Levi into a sitting position so I can get him over my shoulder. I have no idea if the truck is drivable, but I’m going to try.“I said, wolves aren’t welcome in my den,” the man, my sperm donor, growls.“And I said, I un

HopeTwo of my half-sisters seem okay. The third one though, Orsa, seems like a real piece of work. Unfortunately, I’m used to people being snide to me. I’m not, however, used to them being nasty to Levi. I wasn’t prepared for my fury at the way she was treating Levi, and I DEFINITELY wasn’t prepared for Qadira’s.Maybe it’s because we never had to protect Levi in the packs, but I’ve never felt the level of protectiveness in Qadira that I did when Orsa was being snide toward Levi.“You two can sleep over there,” Bjorn says, pointing to an area away from the four makeshift beds set up in the den. I notice the biggest, Bjorn’s, is in the front. He may be a grumpy, difficult man, but he obviously cares about his daughters and keeping them safe. Any person or animal that enters this den would have to go through him to get to them.He was obviously upset about the loss of his sons. He may not have had any contact with his children, the ones he never intentionally sired, but he doesn’t seem
