All Chapters of The Hybrid’s Fate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Crystal's POV The first time he hit me, I did not cry. Not because it did not hurt, but because I learned early that tears only made them hit harder.“Get up, worthless Omega,” Bryan’s voice snapped through the cold morning air. My body trembled as I pushed myself off the ground, my knees scraped raw against the dirt. Blood mixed with dust, but I kept my head down, because looking him in the eye was another excuse for punishment.“I said faster,” he growled, and before I could steady myself, his boot slammed into my stomach. Air rushed out of my lungs as pain exploded through me. I folded instantly, choking on a silent scream.Laughter echoed around me. Pack members stood in a circle, watching like it was entertainment. No one stepped forward, no one spoke, because in this pack, an Omega’s pain was a show. I was the show.“Pathetic,” Bryan muttered, grabbing my hair and forcing my head up. “Look at them,” he said, his voice dripping with disgust. “This is what you are. Nothing.” My v

Crystal's POV I pressed myself into the night, moving quietly behind crates and low walls, every step I took was guided by my wolf.My senses were sharp. I could feel even the smallest movement, and every sniff of the air I took told me who was nearby.The desert wind blew against me, carrying the scent of sand, dry plants, and distant life. My wolf stirred, excited by the space, the freedom and the danger.I ran.Fast, but careful. Every step guided by instincts I had ignored for so long. Rocks cut into my skin, sand burned my legs, but I didn’t stop.The bond twisted painfully in my chest. Bryan with Chloe.My mate.The one who was supposed to protect me, was the one hurting me the most.My wolf howled inside me, full of anger and pain. I forced it down, turning it into strength. The desert felt alive. I could sense prey, predators, danger everywhere and something else. The power inside me grew stronger with every step, guiding me away from danger, helping me survive.I found a sma

Crystal's POV The forest didn’t feel like a prison. It felt like a place to prove myself.The wind brushed my skin as I moved forward. My senses were sharper than ever. I felt every sound, every smell, every change in the air.Hunger hit me suddenly. I hadn’t eaten, I crouched low and sniffed the air. A low growl broke the stillness.I froze. My wolf stilled. Danger. Something in the shadows shifted. And then it stepped out.A vampire!It moved slowly at me, not rushing, not attacking immediately. Its pale eyes locked onto mine, not with hunger but with interest.That made my stomach twist. “Well,” it said softly, voice cold and smooth. “So it’s true.”I didn’t respond, but my wolf growled, uneasy. It knows something. The vampire took a step closer, studying me like I was something rare. “You don’t smell right,” it said. “Not just wolf, not just magic.”My chest tightened. It wasn't a guess.It knew.Fear tried to rise, but I forced it down. I wouldn’t show weakness. Not again. “Wha

Crystal's POV The next morning came slowly. Pain greeted me the moment I opened my eyes.I sat up carefully, muscles tightening in protest. My wolf stirred, not weak but cautious, holding me back from pushing too far.A soft knock sounded at the door. “Are you awake?” Stella’s voice followed.“Yes,” I replied, quieter than usual. My voice felt like it belonged to someone still recovering.She stepped in, carrying a tray. The scent of food reached me instantly, and my stomach tightened in response.“You need strength,” she said, setting it down. Her tone was gentle, but firm enough that I didn’t argue.I eyed the tray for a moment. Suspicion lingered, even now.“No poison?” I asked. My gaze lifted to meet hers, sharp and testing.She smiled faintly. “If we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn’t bother feeding you first.”Fair point. Still, I didn’t drop my guard.I ate slowly, watching her the entire time. She didn’t rush me or question me, just stood there with quiet patience.It was stran

Crystal's POVI didn’t look at him again after that. But I felt him.The bond didn’t settle, not even when we put space between us. It hummed beneath my skin, restless and aware, like it had a life of its own.By the time I returned to the room, my body was exhausted. Not just from the walk but from everything else.The silence closed in around me. And for once, I didn’t fight it. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing. My thoughts refused to stay still, spinning in every direction at once. His touch lingered. That was the problem.I could still feel where his hand had been on my waist. The warmth hadn’t faded, and I hated that it hadn’t. My wolf didn’t hate it. She leaned into it, curling under my ribs like she wanted more.Mine.The word came again, quieter but stronger. It settled deeper this time, like it was becoming part of me whether I wanted it or not. I clenched my jaw.I didn’t accept it. There was a knock at the door. I didn’t answer immediately, afraid that even
