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

CHAPTER 1Rose stood inside the grand hall of the Solemn Roar pack's castle. Her gaze was set on the man seated on a throne carved from dark oak and draped with many diamond and gold pieces. This man is Alpha Vale, one of the oldest werewolves alive. He was revered as one of the most powerful werewolves to have ever existed. However after living over a thousand years, which is twice the average lifespan of a werewolf, he is nothing but a shell of his former self. Rose bowed her head respectfully. "You wanted to see me, Father?"Vale’s gaze softened as he looked at her. "I can feel it," he said, his voice heavy with years of wisdom.Rose frowned slightly, accustomed to his cryptic remarks. "Feel what, exactly?"He sighed deeply, his eyes distant. "My time is up, Rose. I’ve lived for centuries and seen more than most could ever imagine. But you, my child... you are my world."Tears welled up in Rose’s eyes, and she smiled sadly. "Father..."Vale continued, his voice growing softer.

CHAPTER 2. They say betrayal is the only truth that sticks. Rose was still reeling from this betrayal. "Twenty years ago... I became the new Beta, succeeding my late father. Ever since then, I had one dream—to become the next Alpha. And that dream was within an inch of my reach. I would finally achieve the eternal dream of my forefathers. I was so close... " Reed took a deep breath glancing at the dying Alpha, "Then one day, the Alpha brought an infant with him." His voice shifted to a more calmer tone laced with sadness. "You ruined everything! You’re the reason I was denied my birthright! A right that was earned through the sweat and blood of my ancestors for centuries." Reed's face darkened as his voice shifted once again, this time, it held nothing but pure hatred. His brown irises changed into a bright, unnatural red as his glare fixed on Rose. Rose’s eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Reed. "You’re a monster!" she shouted, her voice trembling with rage.Reed shrugged,

CHAPTER 3Rose jumped high into the sky; it was as if she could fly as she leaped over the pack members. She landed with a loud boom a few feet away from the new Alpha. Without a second's thought, she charged straight at him. She moved at an incredible speed that appeared like a blur. Only a few of the omegas could keep up with her. "Traitor!" She yelled, swinging her claws as she reached her target. However, Reed barely blinked. "Too slow," he muttered, sidestepping her attack with ease.Rose landed on her hands and feet. “See?” Reed laughed mockingly, “I knew you’d kneel to me eventually.” His eyes sparkled with triumph. Rose’s face flushed with anger. She gritted her teeth and slammed her fists on the floor. She sprang back up from her position on the ground, her movements sharp and determined."I’ll never kneel to a usurper!” she declared with fierce conviction. She charged at Reed once more, her voice full of wrath. “I’ll shred you into a million pieces!”Reed stood his wh

CHAPTER 4As soon as Rose read the final line of the letter, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hallway. Suddenly... One of the guards spotted them. "The princess!” he yelled, his voice sharp and loud.Rose’s heart skipped a beat as the guard's shout caught the attention of the others. They quickly began swarming the area, their footsteps growing louder by the second.“Shit,” Rose cursed under her breath. She looked at Trusk with frustration. "They're onto us!" Trusk’s eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. “There’s no time to argue. Run, Rose! I’ll hold them back.”She hesitated, fear gripping her as she considered leaving Trusk behind. “But what about you? I can’t just leave you here!”Trusk shook his head, a stern expression on his face.“It was my honor to serve your father, and it’s my honor to serve you now. Go, My Princess. While Alpha Reed is away, this is your chance.”Tears welled up in Rose’s eyes, but she knew he was right. With a nod, she let out a shaky

CHAPTER 5CHAPTER 5: Eavesdropping Rose made up her mind to confront the first person (Lord Grim) she had met in the forest. She didn't even know the name of the monster that just left the godforsaken room she was confined to, but she called him Grim, too.She had many questions to ask: if her Mom was indeed alive and well, then why wasn't she here at the Nostville Empire? Suddenly, her wolf, Lara, who had been quiet for a long, long time, spoke, “Do you remember when I warned you about Reed?” “Oh! You finally remembered I exist, and that you exist because I am still alive.” Rose replied.Lara chuckled, “You thought you had it all figured out. I hope you'll listen to me now, especially now that your mom isn't here like your dad said in that letter.”Rose sighed, she couldn't even imagine her mom being dead before she got to meet her. What if Lord Grim had done something bad to her?“Arrggghhhh!!! I hate my life.” Rose yelled. Just a few weeks ago, she was a princess with people at

CHAPTER 6“Speaking about the devil.” Rose heard Dale say and she froze. She suddenly regretted eavesdropping on them, she should have left when she had the opportunity to.“How dare you!” Grim’s voice thundered. Dale gave a sarcastic laugh, “She doesn't even have respect for you. Do you know she sees you as weak?”“That's not true,” Rose went on her knees and bowed to Lord Grim.“I'm sorry for my actions, it won't happen again.” Rose didn't understand why she was kneeling before Lord Grim, but she knew she had committed a serious offense, and the only way out was to ask for mercy.“So you have the guts to challenge me?” Dale kicked Rose in her stomach and that sent her rolling in pain.“Ahhh!” Rose cried, holding her stomach in pain.“Dale! What has gotten into you?” Lord Grim questioned, his voice drained in irritation.“So you want to take her side now, Grim. This is exactly why she doesn't have respect for you.” Dale answered and moved to Walk away but then Lord Grim stopped him.

CHAPTER 7Rose's lips were still locked in Lord Grim’s when Rose suddenly pulled away from him. “What happened, angel?” Grim asked, laughing.“You just want to take advantage of me, I can see that.”“Don't speak like a child, Rose.” This was the first time he was calling her name. It sounded strange on his lips.“Please I want to be alone,” Rose replied. Lord Grim chuckled, “I know you want to take your revenge on Reed but you can't do that alone. You need guidance.”“I don't need your help, the only reason I'm still here is because of…” Rose wasn't done when Grim cut her short.“Your Mom?” He asked. Her silence made him laugh more.“You don't even know what you've gotten yourself into. I'll get my maids to bring you some dresses, dinner is in ten minutes. I don't condone lateness so let that stick now.”“What do you mean by what I've gotten myself into?” Rose blinked her eyes to stop the tears that she had been fighting; she was getting more confused and regretted ever coming to No

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
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Loyalty and power
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. Watching her lose hope, lose strength a
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Disappointment
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
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Tangling emotions
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 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
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Magic and mayhem
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
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Freedom and Fate
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
