All Chapters of Mated to the Hybrid Alphas: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I just wanted to not feel anything for a minute.” I tell him. Orion takes a deep breath, “I realize we’ve turned your life upside down, and what we’re feeling is nothing compared to what you are, but what happened last night was painfully similar. We needed to step away and not feel all the emotions that were overpowering our system.”I take a minute to let that settle in. Then turn my glare to them, “What am I to you?” I ask sternly. They both just stare at me. I shake my head, “I’m more than a debt collected. You care to much about me to just want to piss Sam off.” “Do not say his name around me.” Cyrus snaps, interrupting me.I glare at him, “Sam? Why can’t I say Sam’s name around you? Why do you care if I talk about Sam?” I snap.One second there’s a lamp beside us, then the next it’s gone shattering against the wall, and causing me to cover my face.I see Cyrus’s face, before I feel the reason it looks like he’s seen a ghost. I slowly look down at my arm, blood leaks from a spot

I push away from him. “You can’t know that!” I shout, turning away from him. I hear the sand move under his shoes. “You can’t feel it. But it is what it is. Orion knew the second he saw you, before the race. He watched you. Watched you look right past him, looking at that fucker. He knew when he saw you kiss him. When he saw him break your heart. And I knew when I saw you at the church. I could hardly look away from you. So fucking scared, but so fucking brave at the same time. I was in awe of you. I knew you were mine and nearly ripped out that fucker's heart for looking at you, let alone what he did to you. I still want to. I fucking fantasize about it.” He comes closer, grabbing my arm and turning me towards him, “So, when his fucking name leaves your perfect fucking mouth, I want to fucking murder him all over again. He doesn’t deserve to take up any space in your fucking mind. It doesn’t excuse it…” He grabs my hurt arm and looks at it, fury burning in his eyes. “It doesn’t excus

Cyrus shadow travels us back, I miss it instantly. The sun on my skin, the ocean air that feels like it’s carved onto my lungs, the cold water splashing against my feet.I look out the window of our bedroom, the glow of the sun sits in the air, and honestly it has its own sense of beauty to it. The sky glows a deep orange and different shades of red.I continue to stare out the window, “Why is it always dark here?” I ask, either one of them really. And it’s funny, but I already know who’s going to answer. Cyrus seems to always be willing to tell me the things they know I don’t want to hear, where Orion always seems to want me to understand the reasoning behind everything. “It’s a curse, placed on our lands a long time ago.” Orion tells me, and I stand up straight turning around and looking at him.“A curse?” I ask, and he shrugs. “A witch got angry at our, great great great great grandpa and decided to take away his light.” He explains, and I just stare at him. “What did he do?”Orion

The weeks drag on after that. My father becoming part of the pack and I guess me as well.It’s strange being a human Luna, regardless of knowing I’m more than human. Technically, like Orion said when we first met, I’m human adjacent. Not to mention, it hasn’t come with any Luna responsibilities, all I’ve noticed is… Respect? I guess. I’m not even sure I’d call it that. More like fear.No one really seems to want to talk to me. Probably worried about what the twins will do if they do something wrong.So, I pretty much hang out in the room, go to the healer to get ‘healed’ and hang out with Polly every once in awhile. My father’s been acclimating rather nicely though.Once he became part of the pack, it’s like people were coming from the walls to be his friend. He even has a weekly poker game and a regular bar, not to mention a new job. He seems to be thriving here.Orion walks out of the bathroom, and I look up from the book I’m holding, but not actually reading. His skin glistens in t

We manage to finish at the healers and make it to pick up the dress Polly wanted from the store.We walk out of the store, Polly’s smile covering her whole face from the excitement of getting the dress. I look over at her to shake my head laughing but end up bumping into a strong frame.“Goddess.” I rasp as a hand reaches out grabbing my arm to keep me from falling. I look up into Forrest green eyes and watch as they widen. “Thea?” Jacob smiles, and a smile crosses my face quickly.“Jacob!” I pull away from his hand, then move to hug him. The hug is stiff and he doesn’t return it. I pull back feeling awkward as hell, and he eyes me guiltily. “Sorry. I heard that the Alphas married a Thea. I just didn’t realize it was you.”Oh, well I guess that explains the no hug thing. Anger washes through me. I guess I’ll never be able to make friends in this fucking pack, even friends I already had.I roll my eyes, “It’s fine.” I start walking away, not wanting to deal with this right now.I see P
