Chapter 18

“What the hell is happening, Judy?” Rose asked in a stranger tone.

The hands locked around her throat were strong. She tried to fight the grip but it wouldn't come off. It felt like two iron bars had clasped over her throat.

Rose tried to look at the person holding her. It didn't feel like it was her friend there anymore. Every vein on Judy's face was strained, her face had grown pale and her eyes had lost its pupil and every other pigment.

Her arms have grown twice in strength and even though she has lifted Rose a couple of inches from the floor, her feet were still resting on the floor. It was like Rose's weight didn't bother her one bit.

“Put me down please?” She begged but Judy didn't hear her. Rose had hoped that there was a little bit of her friend left in there but she was wrong. “Who the hell is in there?”

“You don't recognize this voice, huh? Or are you just playing dumb?”

Rose first thought that the stranger in Judy's body was Feria. That was the only person

    Chapter 19 Grim had come out to the courtyard to catch some fresh air. Last night he had been so bent up that he had to hold himself from causing any harm to Feria. Writer RewardsShe had walked into the room with a fit of anger. Meanwhile, Grim, who had just come back home from a patrol along the border, had hoped to catch a little rest. But she had to interrupt his rest sharply. Grim had spun to his side ready to rip apart whoever it was. It wasn't until he noticed it was Feria that his features softened into a less aggressive state. “It's time to get rid of that new girl. Everything about her spells evil. First, she comes in here and disrespects you and now she is trying to take you away from me. I don't like what is going on here.” “Can you stop nagging for once? Is it until I tear apart one of your limbs before you learn a lesson?” Feria rolled her eyes. “That's not even the reason I came here. Get up from your slumber, we need to talk. It is important.” “Can't whatever y

    Chapter 20That was a question Grim didn't know the answer to. It was a yes or no question but nothing about that question was simple. “I can't answer that question right now. You know that we have a lot on our hands. The pack desperately needs us right now and I can't let something as flimsy as marriage keep us distracted.” “Stop beating around the bush, My Lord. That's what you've been saying anytime I bring this topic up. It's always one excuse or the other.” Grim looked away. Of course, he was going to keep coming up with excuses. Maybe because he was never truly ready for marriage. At least he didn't see himself that way. “It was never a matter of time, okay. It's a matter of being ready all round. I'm not ready for the whole commitment just yet.” That sounded like another excuse but really that's just the truth. It was one thing to walk down the aisle or whatever the case may be. But it was another thing to live with the same person forever.“What's there to be proposed f

    Chapter 21 Grim was on his way to see Dale when he saw Feria approaching. He kept on walking, neglecting her. She had to run down to catch up with him. The padlock holding her lips shut broke as soon as she got to him. “Lord Grim. What is the news I'm hearing of you going on a trip?” She asked. Suddenly pleasantries mattered to Grim. “Is that how you're supposed to greet your leader when you see him?” Even in her anger, Feria bowed. She kept both eyes open in case Grim wanted to use that opportunity to flee. “Now that I have greeted you, can we get back to the reason that I'm here? I have just been told that you're taking Rose on a trip to see Vanessa.” “Where did you hear the news from?” Grim asked, annoyed. He couldn't believe that Rose couldn't keep her mouth shut. He had wanted the trip to be discreet. He wanted to slip out without being noticed. His planned company was just Dale and Rose. “Who other than the woman you're trying to elope with?” Grim sneered. “Elope with?”

    Chapter 22Grim wanted to discuss the details of the trip and the strategy with which he would use to pull Vanessa out of whatever rabbit hole she was lodged in. Meanwhile, Feria stormed out of the courtyard. She was happy to be brought along but didn't know why he was punishing her by banning her from bringing along a handmaid. She went to get her things packed nonetheless. Just as she was heading into the palace Judy and Rose were walking out to get some supplies for the trip. A guard had dropped by earlier to hand over an ATM card with an outrageous credit limit. Outrageous in a good way just to point out. Rose and Judy spent the entire day together grabbing everything that Rose felt she would need for the trip. She had no idea how long the trip would last. It was better to be overpacked than to be found wanting. They however managed to fit everything into one piece of luggage. It consisted of clothes, shoes, and a couple of snacks and food items that would last Rose throughout

    Chapter 23The tension in the truck would give any blade a hard time to cut through. Everyone was silent but still, the unspoken words were deafening. Everyone was battling with their inner thoughts and battles. Feria was stealing gazes once in a while at Rose. It was taking every fiber in her being to stop herself from stretching out and burying her fangs in the latter's neck. Why the hate? There were a lot of reasons why she was upset. Feria usually wanted the front seat for the ride. She had hopped into the truck with the hopes that Grim would be the one driving. But she was disappointed when it was Dale who had hopped into the driver's seat. Dale was pissed that he was the designated driver. He had expected his younger brother to take the wheel. He wanted to protest, but he already knew what Grim's response was going to be. “I am the ruler and I'm ahead of you. When I give you an instruction, I expect you to obey.” Not ready to be embarrassed in front of the others he had q

  • HYBRID: Between Love and Power   Feelings For Grim?

    Chapter 24Grim has spent the majority of the trip watching Rose sleep. As fate would have it, the woman drifted to him, putting her head on his shoulder. She looked so innocent in her slumber. It came as a surprise to see her in such a calm state. For a moment he was beginning to doubt his plans for her were the right thing. They had only spent the past hour with each other and he was already rethinking his actions. But when he remembered what was at stake here, he snapped out of his delusion. Meanwhile, Rose couldn't contain her excitement. She was finally going to see her mother. She turned to hug Grim out of excitement but held herself back. Everyone stepped out of the truck. But Rose delayed a bit. She didn't have to worry about her luggage, Judy had already gone to get it. She was more bothered about the environment they had just arrived in. She had expected to be taken to some beautiful vampire pack that was crawling with people and beautiful scenery. Instead, she saw h

    Chapter 25Grim was conversing about something random with Dale when he saw Rose approaching. He knew a time like this would come so he prepared himself for this conversation. “Where are we, Lord Grim?” She asked, getting in front of Grim to block his path. “For the tenth time, it's ‘My Lord' to you,” Grim scolded. “Please answer the question. I was hoping to see my mother. I have no plans to fight a war.”“You're not here for that. These are the men that are going to help us find your mother.” “You said that she was going on a courtesy visit. What do you mean by they're here to find her? Is there a chance that she is lost or is in trouble?” “She didn't reply to the messages we sent out to her. This is the only way that we can find out what happened to her. They're here to help us.” Dale walked behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “There is no need to be scared. You'll get to see your mother in no time.” Grim couldn't stand watching Dale hold her like that. He wanted to

She couldn't see what was written clearly but there was a list of reasons why Vanessa was wanted. It was confusing. This didn't sound like the Vanessa that she had heard about. Rose walked towards the poster. Right then a pair of telescopes would be highly appreciated but unlucky for her they are not lying around anywhere. She looked around. No long rods were lying around. The only thing that would give her a clear view would be climbing onto one of the buildings, especially the one that overlooked the pole directly. A strong wind swept by brewing up dust and dirt. Rose muttered insults for the breeze until she noticed that it was in her favor.The poster was swaying in the breeze. It was barely hanging on to the pole. One side of the paper was already off the pole while the other half was still stuck. Rose waited under the pole ready to grab it. When it finally came off, it

    Chapter 78 This was the first time Lord Grim had come across his brother since he had walked in on the latter making love to Feria. He had intentionally avoided Dale. Even when he had walked into the courtyard, he had seen his brother but hadn't paid him any heed until now. “Step out of the way, Dale. This is not a matter for you to bother yourself with. The task I gave you, I’m yet to get any feedback from you.” The longer Grim stood closer to his brother, the harder it got for him to hold himself from giving the latter a nasty whooping. “How long are you going to keep covering for that fugitive? Is it until she puts Feria in a grave that her manipulative veil is going to fall off your eyes?” Dale thundered with rage. The crowd began whispering amongst themselves. The chaos had calmed, but the onlookers were still rowdy. Some who had just joined the group sought explanations, each reporter with a different narrative. “He is right, Alpha!

    Chapter 77Dale strapped his knife just before he stepped out. It was the most important part of his dressing. He didn't have a clue what he was going to encounter when he walked into the palace so all he could was be prepared. “You have no business going after her!” His wolf warned him. But once again he had turned a deaf ear. If she wasn't important to him, why then couldn't he stop thinking about her since she had walked out on him? He just wanted to talk to her, that's all. Well, that's a lie. This was a strange feeling. He had never craved more from women than lust. After he had finished mating, her presence only brought him irritation. He did away with women like he changed his clothes. Few eventually mustered the courage to walk away from him. Feria was the first woman who had walked away from him but she still resided in his heart. “You just need her to successfully get back at Grim!” That was the lie he had been telling himself. But it didn't take long for the truth to

    Chapter 76 Rose backed away even further. She had no weapons on her so there was no trying to play defense. “Feria, please stop!” She cried out. “Look at you begging for mercy now. When you had your slimy disgusting tentacles all over my man trying to snatch him from me, hadn't I asked you to stop?”Feria had gone the easy way with a confrontation and had even tried the hard way. But Rose had been adamant. “You can't do this. Everyone will know that it's you.” Feria had just pulled up to a fistfight with a knife.“You think they would give a damn if a common maid shows up missing. The fact that you're a werewolf makes it even better. They are going to have a field day on your carcass.” “It's not going to play like that,” Rose insisted. “Even if you did have the might to kill me, you still wouldn't get Grim. What do you gain?” There was no remorse or sympathy in those dark eyes that stared back at Rose. All they knew was destruction! “I would finally be at rest knowing that I

    Chapter 75Rose didn't know that a day would come when her shoulder would bring succor to Feria. Here she was on her shoulder softly sobbing. But that didn't bother her as much as the message she had just received. Everything she had just built up—the love, the trust—came down in rubble in a few seconds. Rubbles. Huge grainy rubbles which sank to the bottom of her heart and made it ache. Just a day ago, she was happy that the winds of fate had swept her all the way out to Nostville. But right now, she wished she could take back every life decision she made that brought her here in the first place. But it was too late. She had already fallen deep into the trap that had been laid for her by Grim. Her thigh had been caught in the sharpened teeth and no matter which way she chose to go, the pain was equally worse; whether it was back to him or as far away from him as possible. “What a time to be in love! The worst of times. I wish I had never met that man. I wish he had never rescued

    Chapter 74"That's not true. Grim is not a womanizer!" Rose defended.That was what she assured herself; her belief was her greatest hope. If only hope were a currency, she would have bought her desired reality.Feria puckered mockingly. "Oh no, are you about to cry? Is the truth too bitter for you to handle?"It was too heavy to digest, and Rose didn't accept that it was the truth."You are renowned for being crazy. Why would I believe a word that comes from your lips?" Rose barked.The smirk didn't leave Feria's face. She inched closer to her enemy—far enough for comfort but close enough for a whisper."Call me crazy, call me anything you like. The truth is the truth. Can you keep a secret?" she whispered in a low, inviting tone.Rose nodded, curiosity eating her up."You're not the only one."Rose gasped, her grip growing tighter, her knuckles begging to stay colored. "Stop feeding me lies, Feria.""I could give you a whole list. There have been a thousand before you who have graze

    Chapter 73 The yard was quiet. There was a single stone slab wedged into a wall in the cinder, and that was where Rose was planted. It didn't offer her comfort. But she wasn't out here in need of leisure. She was hiding… from Grim. The only comfort was that she was not alone. Sitting just beside her sat Judy. “I can't believe he would leave me for her just like that. After he claimed they were not together, he didn’t hesitate before pushing me to the side.” “Don't jump to conclusions, Rose. I'm sure there is something important that they had to discuss.” “Something important?” Rose snapped. “Too important that I had to be kept out of it? I'm telling you, this doesn't feel right.” Judy sighed. Changing Rose's mind was a challenging task, and she had been at it for minutes without any progress. “Then give him a listening ear at least. He has been looking all over for you. It's time you let me tell him where you are.” Judy was exhausted from having to duck Lord Grim. Th

    Chapter 72Dale sat outside his chambers trying to catch some of that afternoon breeze. A jug filled to the brim with root beer sat on the arm of his chair.He hummed, staring into the distance. He had just come out of his inner compartment and stared into the distance.The sky was clear and so were his thoughts. His plans were playing out accordingly. Nothing could go wrong. Even the sky was in concord with his heart. The sun stood tall watching over the dry land and they looked to be no trouble heading his way. Then he looked a little further and the horizon showed him the trouble coming his way with alarming speed. It was a car that made him sit up and reach for the weapon strapped to his belt. It screeched to a violent stop in front of the porch, lifting lazy dust into the air. He had to shield his eyes and nose as the car door opened. The door popped open and Feria walked out. “Slow down. You should not be making such a noisy entrance. Have you forgotten that you're supposed

    Chapter 71Rose couldn't hide it anymore. They had barely gotten intimate for more than three days and she was already eager to tell the entire world that she was in love with Lord Grim. The icing on the cake? They were fated to be together from the beginning of time.Something is going on between them. Everywhere Grim is, Rose is always around. They would spend time together even in public. There were no public displays of affection but anyone watching both of them could tell that something was going on between of them. No one dared to bother them. Regardless of how onlookers thought about Lord Grim going about town with another woman other than Feria, they kept it themselves. Most of them loved seeing Rose anyway. Aside from the misgivings of her being an outcast, she was a much better choice than Feria who would rather kill them than be nice. However, one of the bunch of witnesses couldn't keep her thoughts to herself. It was Feria. She spent more time with Dale than before.

    Chapter 70Grim didn't want her to go through so much danger just to rescue him. He appreciated her willingness to go out of her way and help her but he couldn't bring himself to let her jump into the forest all alone. He looked over at her. There was so much determination in those eyes. He wished she would channel it into something else. He didn't deserve her, he was well aware of that. After all the hurt and pain he had caused her. He couldn't allow her to risk losing her life over trying to save her. He didn't notice that he was staring hard until Rose pointed it out. She grabbed his chin gently and dropped a peck. “You don't have to worry about this. I got it.” He wanted to find a way to shut her down before she let herself make a decision that might mess up the rest of her life. “Your mother is not what you expect, Rose. She might attack and cause harm to you even though you're her daughter. She is way more powerful than you.” “She is my mother. She might hurt anyone but
