《The Alpha's Hunted Hybrid Mate》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

The heavy wooden door to my room burst open with a deafening crash, as if a storm had been unleashed on the other side.The sound of it slamming against the wall echoed through the dimly lit room, making me flinch. My eyes snapped toward the doorway, and it felt as though a boulder weighing a thousand pounds dropped straight onto my chest.It was Cassian.No...It definitely wasn't Cassian.The towering figure standing in the doorway radiated something so raw, so savage, so overwhelmingly wolf that the air seemed to vanish from the room. The temperature plummeted in an instant.But the most terrifying part...His eyes.The icy blue that had always reminded me of a raging snowstorm was gone. In its place was nothing but endless, absolute black.The moment I saw him, I knew. Axel had taken over completely."Axel..." I whispered, my voice trembling. "What are you doing? Where's Cassian?"Axel's jaw tightened. The unwavering determination in his gaze stole the breath from my lungs. He clo

3 Months Earlier…I stood at a crossroads: an honorable death or a coward's life. My father's words echoed through my mind, the same words he'd drilled into me for years.'Move before fear takes control.'I could've turned around and left the moment I sensed the danger. Maybe I should have.But that wasn't who I was.I drew a slow breath, and it felt like the forest breathed with me. I could hear the wind weaving through the tops of the pines, the tiny claws of a mole digging several feet beneath the earth, even the steady heartbeat of an owl asleep inside the hollow of an ancient oak fifty yards away.My father's blood ran through my veins, and I'd never seen not having a wolf as a weakness. Most werewolves did. But my senses had never been shared with another soul. They had always been mine alone—sharp, clear, and driven by instincts that never stopped working.To me, the night wasn't dark. It was simply filled with more detail. Then a familiar scent hit me.Rusted iron. Fresh blood

I was turning into the hallway where my class was when I stepped directly into the path of the blue-eyed guy moving past me at a brisk pace. Our shoulders bumped lightly. I stopped on instinct and looked up. He seemed even taller up close. His sharp features kept people at a distance without him having to say a word. Those icy blue eyes stayed on me for a few seconds before his brows drew together."You should watch where you're going." His voice was as cold as his stare. Low and deep, with a strange weight behind it. I didn't back down."That's a little difficult when you're standing there," I said, the corner of my mouth lifting before I could stop it. "You take up half the hallway."The faintest hint of a smile touched his lips. "Says the person who walked into me.""It wasn't on purpose.""Doesn't change what happened."I rolled my eyes. "For someone built like you, I didn't think a little shoulder bump would be such a big deal."His gaze moved over my face. He didn't look angry o

As I walked toward the campus exit, my eyes searched the crowd for Ivy. I spotted her just before I reached the gates. She was standing with Cassian and Kai. I slowed to a stop. Ivy was laughing as she talked about something. Cassian still wore that same cold, unreadable expression, but his attention was fixed on her in a way I couldn't explain.A sharp wave of jealousy twisted in my chest. It felt as though I'd left someone precious to me in the territory of the most dangerous predators alive. By the time the three of them started walking away, Ivy noticed me and waved enthusiastically.I hurried over. "I thought you didn't know them," I said, unable to hide the edge in my voice. "Is something wrong?"Ivy flinched. She looked away, shoved her hands into her jacket pockets, and straightened her shoulders."Bloom, relax. Everything's fine," she said, her voice just a little too bright. "We just ran into each other. They asked a couple of questions, that's all. We introduced ourselves."

Kai leaned back in his chair with an easy smile, clearly trying to ease the tension that had settled over the table. "Yeah, that's right," he said. "We came here with our pack, Bloom. Our families came too, along with everyone else. We're... not exactly the type to leave each other behind."I blinked. "You mean your entire pack moved here?" I asked. "Just for college?"Cassian calmly set his coffee cup down. The soft clink against the table somehow cut through every other sound in the cafe. "We had to relocate," he said, his voice steady and firm. "The pack's safety comes before everything else. College is just a cover. We've already completed the education we actually needed."His gaze met mine. "The real reason we're here... is personal."I slowly turned toward Ivy. "What about you? Are you part of the same pack? Did your family move here too?"She stiffened the instant I asked. For a second, it looked like she'd forgotten how to breathe. Her eyes dropped to her coffee as she traced
