The Hidden Hybrid’s Redemption
The bond was a pipeline of pure, primal adrenaline, keeping my hybrid wolf coiled tight, her claws scratching against the back of my ribs.
Killian stood directly behind me, his massive, scar-fleshed body acting as an impenetrable shield against the bitter, high-seas wind. His silver-mesh armor was caked in black alkali dust and the thick, copper blood of the deep-sea marines we had slaughtered on the cliffs. His amber eyes were completely gone, replaced by the pitch-black void of his feral beast, his chest heaving violently. His dark, suffocating scent of cedar, copper, and raw territorial ownership flared so intensely it completely wiped the briny stench of the ocean from my senses.
