HYBRID: Between Love and Power Breath, Believe, Beware
CHAPTER 49Rose kept replaying the scene in her mind over and over. She kept thinking about what she would have done to make him kiss her. At that moment, she didn't care about what Feria would feel. The look on his face had said enough and she closed her eyes, expecting his lips on hers but she had gotten nothing. He had just pulled away, leaving her cold in the cold morning breeze. “You should watch me because I'm not catching you next time,”She had opened her eyes to his back, already moving away from her. She had groaned but followed him closely.Now they were on the mountain and the sorceress was there waiting for them. “Did you climb up here? Or you levitated?” She asked. “I could levitate but I enjoy climbing,” the Sorceress replied. Rose waited for the Sorceress to laugh and say she was just joking but she never did. How could someone enjoy climbing that? The sorceress was clearly not a vampire and didn't have the strength that came with it and it was just a mystery how s

CHAPTER 50Rose sat still at the base of the mountain. She was shivering despite the sweat that made her clothes stick to her body. She didn't know long she had been sitting but her heart was still racing like she was still falling. She stared up to look at the Sorceress and Grim staring down at her. Her body was covered with slashes from tree branches down. “I told you, it works only in life or death situations,” Grim said, staring at her like she was a specimen placed under a microscope. Rose stood up and walked towards Grim and slapped him. “I would have died! If you want to kill me, do it now and stop making me live in anticipation of my death!” she shouted at him.Even the sorceress who had been talking to Grim about how throwing her down was a bad idea was shocked at Rose's reaction. When she had shouted and part of her anger had dissipated, she realized what she had done. “I...I...”“It's okay. You didn't die, now run along before I changed my mind,” Grim said coldly. Rose t

CHAPTER 51“No...No...Never my lord,” Feria begged as his fingers tightened, letting his claws pierce deeper. “I just...I just wanted her to go,”“Without me knowing,” Grim completed, his face cold. “Please my lord, ” She begged. She knew that if he went deeper, he was going to get her killed. Grim stared at her for a second, then pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her lips before letting her go. “I'm sure you'd not do that again.” Feria nodded, unable to produce words. Grim looked at her one last time before heading to the bath chambers. “Come with me,” he said over his shoulders as he undressed. “I'm not done with you yet.”Feria dropped the clothes and followed him into the bath chambers like he had spelled her. She loved Grim and doing what he wanted was the only thing she wanted. Rose and Grim were on the mountain again. This time they had made it up without incident. Although Rose had slipped several times and caught herself. She knew that Feria was a little disappointed

CHAPTER 52It had been almost two weeks since Dale had gone on the journey to find Venessa, but he had been unsuccessful. First, he had heard that she was hiding among humans in California. He had made a stop in California at the place she was supposed to be but hadn't seen her. The leader of the Vampire Clan had tried to kill him for conducting business in his territory but had thought better of it immediately upon learning he was Grim's brother. He was then told she had gone to Manhattan, but he still couldn't find her, not even any traces of her. He was in a bar in Las Vegas, where she was supposed to be hiding, but he had not seen her. He had been drinking when the bells jingled above the door and a lady came inside.At first, he thought it was Feria. Their hair was the same color, and she had that same walk, like she was walking on a runway and everyone was praising her, but a closer look showed that they were very different. Feria was taller, and her face was slimmer, her body m

CHAPTER 53For a second, the dark shadow just stood there like a gust of wind made of just black smoke and then it was gone. Rose just stood there, still rooted to the ground. There was clearly a difference between seeing something in the dream and then seeing it in the real world. His face had gone white with fear and she had half expected it to rush towards her like it always did in her dreams. But one second it was there and the next it wasn't. She would have thought she imagined it if she hadn't seen the look on Grim's face. “Let's go down.” He said, breaking the silence. “I'd tell the Sorceress to set up wards around this place.”Rose nodded and allowed Grim to stare her around by the shoulder as they made their way down the mountain. When they got down, Grim told her to get back while he visited the Sorceress to tell her what happened. As she walked she imagined if Althrea had taken some kind of interest in her, she hoped not. She even hoped that it wasn't Althrea. It was bett

CHAPTER 54Instinctively, Rose sidestepped as the dagger whistled past her ears. “Are you trying to kill me?”“Yes,” Grim smirked. For someone that was trying to kill her, he was enjoying it. She tried to rush him like she had done the last time but she couldn't. He kept disappearing into thin air as she neared him. And this time he wasn't as predictable as he was at the last time. “What am I doing wrong?” Rose asked, placing her hands on her waist as she stood.“Everything,” Grim responded. “I'm just testing you, your reflexes are not bad. When it comes to speed you are a natural. A little more training and you wouldn't be so slow,”“Thank you so much,” Rose replied with a healthy dose of sarcasm. “So now what?”Grim didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he closed the distance between them with a fluid, effortless motion that she wasn't expecting. Before she could see what was happening, he was already in front of her, his hands stretched out, grabbing her shoulders and twisting her

CHAPTER 55Rose stood at the door motionless, staring at the scene before her. She tried to move but she couldn't no matter how much it hurt to watch them. They had not even noticed her. Feria's moans and Grim's groans seemed soundless... She lifted her hands to her eyes and they came up wet. She was crying and she hadn't even noticed. It was enough to pull her to the present. She stared at them one last time before she turned around and walked away.Why had he stared at her like that when he had no feelings for her? But he had seen what she saw, felt what she felt. Why did he...? She'd be lying to herself if she said she had forgotten about his relationship with Feria. What had she been expecting? She was here for just a few months but wanted Grim to leave Feria who he had been with for years and run into her waiting arms. She had been expecting that but now she could see how vivid her delusion was.She hadn't registered her movement but her legs had taken her to her room. “You're

CHAPTER 56Reed sat in the dimly lit room. The former Alpha had created it for council meetings, but now he stood alone in it… waiting. His claws had extended because of his agitation and he drummed slowly on the edge of the table with it, but his mind was racing… it was the thought of her. Rose. He could still hear her father’s voice in his mind, the last words he had spoken before Reed had silenced him with a single strike. “My daughter will take my place. She will be the Alpha.” Like the pack needed another weak Alpha that stunted its growth.Rose had been too foolish. She had been weak. And now, because of her father’s misplaced words, some pack members still had their loyalties to the dead man. They wanted her to be Alpha. They didn't say it out loud but he could feel it. She was his obstacle to gaining complete control of the pack.He had thought about everything perfectly and had even started the execution. Imprisoning her. Starving her.

HYBRID: Between Love and Power The coven's dark secret
CHAPTER 64Rose walked slowly to the Sorceress's house. She knew she shouldn't get angry or even offended but she couldn't help the sadness she was feeling. It seemed like every time she made progress in anything, something suddenly happened and took her backward. First, she was making progress towards being Alpha of her pack and inheriting her father's power, then Reed came along, killed her father, and became Alpha and what she had been prepared to be. Then she came to Nostville, realized she had powers and started working on them. Then she thought the magic training with the Sorceress was making progress, she had even saved herself from turning to paste, then the news about the mental block stopped her. And then now, whatever it was she had been building with Grim was stuck again. He had kissed her but she had been too shocked to kiss him back. Then he had trained with her like nothing had changed between them.She had gone to see him but she had not been allowed to enter because
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Ignored warnings
CHAPTER 63The atmosphere in the coven’s private hall was thick with tension because of the news Grim had received. He had called for a meeting between the covens that were close to Nostville to address it. The five leaders of the most powerful covens in the region had gathered in one room, and the subject of their meeting… the dark shadow… had most of them on the edge of their seats. The five of them, Grim included, sat at the long oak table. The room was dim, lit only by the flickering light of a few candles. The air smelled faintly of the blood that had been served but it was the scent of their uneasiness that hung heavily in the air.Grim, as always, sat at the head of the table. His posture was stiff as his mind kept wandering to what the Sorceress had told him before the meeting began.His mind was elsewhere. She had told him not to say anything about what he suspected to be caused by. He was not to mention Althrea. He had been careful to keep his suspicions about the shadow t
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Rising strength
CHAPTER 62The clearing was still, except for the rustle of the wind brushing through the trees and the occasional chirp of birds. The early morning air was cold. Sunlight filtered through the spaces between the leaves of the trees, warming the cool earth. Grim had chosen this place for their training. It was isolated, quiet, and a perfect spot for training although it was not better than the mountain.She had received his message the night before, instructing her to meet him here for training at dawn. She had been hesitant, unsure of how she felt about training with Grim after the tension that had simmered between them recently. The last time they had been nearby, the kiss but he hadn't even stared at her the last time she had seen him. Yet, she couldn’t deny that the thought of what they could become outweighed her unease.As she had walked towards the clearing, she had replayed their last encounter in her mind… Now, she stood a few feet away, stretching her arms and legs as she p
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Chaos
CHAPTER 61Rose couldn't bring herself to look for the diary. She stood at the door praying that whoever had scattered her things out of anger and not because they were looking for something. Even as she stood at the door, she had doubts. She walked to the bag and slipped her hand into the hidden compartment of the bag and tapped around but the book wasn't there, she looked inside and couldn't see anything. Her heart sank. She didn't even know who to blame. Feria had avoided her for a while now and she couldn't have just decided to scatter her things around… unless she knew about the kiss. That was also not possible because Grim didn't look like he was going to tell her. There was a knock on her door and Judy poked her head in. “Wow, don't tell me you got angry and did all this. It literally looks like a hurricane was here,” Judy said as she got in. “No,” Rose replied sharply. “I'm sorry for how I spoke to you the other day. I was just annoyed and jealous and...”“It's alright.
HYBRID: Between Love and Power The bond of blood
CHAPTER 60“I've got news,” Kael whispered in Reed's ears. He was making his way to the clearing for the mating ceremony when Kael pulled him aside and told him. The mating ceremony was a tradition that had been in the pack for generations and he had to follow it. When Kael told him, Reed pulled back. He stared at the other wolf's face, trying to get the nature of the news before he was told but Kael's grim face had been replaced by an easy smile. “This better be good, Kael,” he said. “It's good news but I'd tell you after the ceremony,” Kael stepped back and allowed the Alpha to continue his walk to the clearing where his mate Lyla was waiting.Lyla was the daughter of a Trusk, who was the elder of the pack before he was killed by Reed when he saved Rose. When Reed reached the clearing, he looked around at the members of the pack that had gathered, silent and expectant. They had settled into a tense silence, the murmurs from before Jaxon’s death now quieted. Reed had killed the fo
HYBRID: Between Love and Power A good day can always go bad
CHAPTER 59Rose woke up to the sound of a knock on her door. She had ignored it, hoping the person would get the idea that she wasn't interested in seeing anyone and leave but the person didn't leave. It was after she stood up from her bed and went towards the door that the person left. She groaned and returned to bed, her hand instinctively going under her pillow to retrieve the book and flip through it again.She had flipped through the pages of her mother's red book so many times that she knew the number of pages. The thing was that even then, the brown pages were still blank. She had tried to read the book beside the light of fire, under the sunlight, under the moonlight but she couldn't see any writings. It was like a bad joke with no punch line.She had gone through so much trouble to carry an empty book. At the back of her mind, she believed that maybe her mom had taken the original and left the fake or she had met the sorceress to hide the writings in the book to prevent j
HYBRID: Between Love and Power The crushing
CHAPTER 58Reed had decided to call for a general pack meeting. The restlessness within the pack had increased and just like Kael had told him, he needed to do something about it. Make a power move. He was no longer respected, no longer feared, no longer revered. He knew they had their thoughts about him being Alpha but they had only been murmuring, now they were beginning to have the nerve to speak up. It felt like his control had slipped. But not anymore. For generations, the only language the pack understood was strength, power, and brute force and he would make sure they remembered who ruled them.He walked into the clearing where pack members had gathered for the meeting. The moon was not full but its glow was enough to illuminate the grounds, enough for them to see him and for him to stare into their eyes. Just as he had instructed, Kael had ensured that the place was packed with all the pack members. He walked up the highest rock where he stood alone, staring down at them qu
HYBRID: Between Love and Power A painful discovery
CHAPTER 57Rose turned around to see one of the maids frowning at her. The maids had started to hate her since Grim started training with her and had kept her alive. “What are you doing here? Lord Grim is not here.” The maid said sharply.“I know that,” Rose replied, her heart racing as she thought about an excuse. If she just said she came to see him, the maid would be expecting her to leave immediately after she realizes that he was not around. If she tells the maid that she came to pick something from the room, the maid could just wait until she is done. She needed the maid to leave so she wouldn't see her enter the restricted room. “Grim sent me. There's something urgent I need to do,” Rose replied with as much confidence as she could muster. The maid stared at her and she returned the stare without blinking. Her father had taught her about the importance of holding a stare. After a few seconds, the maid turned to the side and looked down. “Oh, okay,” she said as her cheeks tur
