(Ash’s POV)

I’ve always imagined what my mate would be like. Would she be gentle and kind, or fierce and wild? Would she be someone I’d need to protect… or someone strong enough to stand beside me?

I sighed, staring at the ceiling. Maybe I was overthinking it.

Just then—BAM!

The door slammed open, and in walked the biggest menace in my life—Aiden.

“Pack your bags, brother. We’re changing schools.”

I frowned. “What? Why?”

Aiden grinned, completely unbothered. “Because I beat the hell out of some idiot.”

Of course, he did. I sighed, rubbing my temples. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

He flopped onto my bed. “Nope. Dad says we’re transferring. Some fancy academy. Sounds boring as hell.”

I groaned. New school, new people… great.

“You coming, or do I have to drag you out?” Aiden smirked.

I scowled. “I hate you.”

“Love you too, bro.”

I stormed downstairs, my jaw clenched. There was no way I was doing this without a fight.

“Mom!” I called, stepping into the kitchen. She was humming, completely unbothered. Aiden, the traitor, was already there—half-hugging her like a little kid.

“Oh, my babies,” Mom cooed, running her fingers through Aiden’s hair. He leaned into it, smirking at me.

I crossed my arms. “Mom, we’re not babies.”

She gasped dramatically. “You’ll always be my babies.”

Aiden grinned. “You hear that, Ash? You’re Mommy’s little baby.”

I shot him a glare. “Shut up.”

Mom chuckled. “Now, what’s all this fuss about?”

I exhaled. “Mom, a human school? Seriously?”

She wiped her hands on a towel, her expression soft but firm. “Yes, Ash. It’ll be good for you boys. You need to learn how to live among humans.”

“We don’t belong there,” I argued. “It’s a waste of time.”

Mom raised an eyebrow. “And what, staying here all day sparring with your brother is more productive?”

Aiden snickered. “She has a point.”

I scowled at him. “You’re the reason we’re in this mess!”

Mom sighed, placing a hand on my cheek. “Just give it a chance, sweetheart.”

I groaned, knowing I’d lost.

Aiden patted my back, grinning. “Come on, bro. Maybe we’ll meet some interesting people.”

I highly doubted that.

FIRST DAY AT A NEW SCHOOL 🔥

The moment we stepped into the school, I knew I didn’t belong.

The halls were filled with humans—chatting, laughing, completely unaware that two werewolves had just entered their world. Aiden, of course, looked thrilled.

“Man, look at all these people. This might not be so bad,” he mused, scanning the crowd.

I just sighed, pulling my hoodie up. I wanted to be anywhere but here.

Then—I saw her.

A girl with long silver hair, walking through the hallway, completely unaware of the chaos she was about to cause in my life.

The second our eyes met, my wolf roared.

"MATE."

A deep, possessive growl rumbled in my chest, and I had to grip the locker beside me to stay in control. My wolf wanted out. Now.

Not here. Not now.

I forced myself to look away, breathing heavily. But Aiden was already watching me.

“What the hell was that?” he whispered.

I clenched my jaw. “Nothing.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Ash, I know you. That was not nothing.”

I exhaled sharply, lowering my voice. “She’s my mate.”

Aiden’s eyes widened. “Wait—what? You’re mated to a human?”

I nodded stiffly. “And she might not even feel it.”

For the first time, Aiden didn’t have a snarky comment. He just stared at me, realizing exactly how messed up this situation was.

And I had no idea what to do next.

    (Lyra’s POV)The moment I step into the classroom, I feel it again—that strange, unexplainable pull. My eyes land on two boys sitting near the back. One has messy black hair and sharp, intense eyes, while the other has a softer, playful expression with brown hair. They're both striking in their own way, but it's the black-haired one who makes my stomach twist in a way I don’t understand.The second our gazes lock, something shifts inside me. My heart pounds. My breath catches. It’s like a wave of energy slams into me, and for a split second, I swear I see a flicker of surprise in his eyes too. But then, just as quickly, his expression hardens, and he looks away.What... was that?I shake my head, trying to brush it off. It was probably nothing. Maybe I imagined it. I take my seat, forcing myself to focus on class, but I can’t help glancing toward him now and then.Later, during lunch, I’m caught off guard when the brown-haired boy slides into the seat beside me.“Hey there,” he greets

    (Korvain's POV) The dim glow of the torches cast flickering shadows across the dark stone walls of my chamber. The air was thick with the scent of burning incense and something darker—power, old and potent, swirling in the depths of my domain. I traced my fingers along the surface of the obsidian mirror before me, my golden eyes narrowing as I chanted the ancient words. Nothing. The mirror remained clouded, refusing to reveal what I sought. A growl rumbled in my chest. Where are you, little niece? For eighteen years, I have searched for her. The cursed hybrid—my brother’s disgrace. He defied our laws, tainted our bloodline, and for what? Love? The thought made my lip curl in disgust. Because of his foolishness, an abomination now walked this world, carrying power that should have never existed. Power that should be mine. I clenched my fist, feeling the raw energy surge through my veins. She was the key. Once I had her, I would perform the ancient ritual—one that would strip eve

    (Lyra’s POV)The morning felt... different.I groggily sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes, but the moment I did, a wave of sound crashed over me. The birds outside weren’t just chirping—they were deafening. The hum of the fridge downstairs vibrated in my ears, and I could hear Noah’s steady breathing from his room. Every single noise, no matter how small, was sharp, clear, and loud.“What the hell?” I whispered, but even my own voice seemed amplified.Shaking off the weirdness, I got ready for school, telling myself I was just overtired. Maybe I needed to lay off the late-night thinking about them—Ash and Aiden. They had taken up too much space in my mind lately, and I couldn’t explain why.By the time I arrived at school, my senses still felt heightened, but I forced myself to ignore it. That was until I sat in class.The teacher was droning on, but I could still hear the whispers—clear as day—from across the room.

    (Aiden's POV) The dream felt too real. Lyra stood before me, dressed in an ethereal white gown that cascaded to the floor like flowing water. Her silver hair shimmered under an unseen light, blending perfectly with the fabric, making her look almost otherworldly. But it was her eyes—deep, glowing red—that held me captive. I felt drawn to her, like she was the only thing that mattered in the world. My feet moved on their own, closing the space between us. Her scent wrapped around me—flowers, fresh and intoxicating. I reached out, my hands resting on her waist as I pulled her closer. Her warmth seeped into me, igniting something deep within my chest. I leaned in, pressing soft kisses on her lips, then trailing lower to the curve of her neck. A moment of hesitation flickered in my mind, but Lyra only smiled, looping her arms around my neck and pulling me against her. That smile shattered my restraint. I crushed my lips against hers, slow but hungry, pouring everything I felt into t

    (Lyra's POV) The morning air was crisp, the sun casting a golden glow over the school as students bustled through the hallways. But none of that mattered to me right now. My eyes were locked on Aiden. He was acting… different. Normally, Aiden would greet me with a smirk or some teasing remark, but today, he barely even looked at me. He walked past me without a word, his jaw clenched, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. I frowned. Was he mad at me? Pushing my confusion aside, I quickened my pace to catch up with him. “Hey, Aiden—” Before I could finish, he turned the corner, disappearing into the crowd. My heart sank a little. That was definitely on purpose. Frustrated, I turned to the next best person for answers—Ash. I spotted him leaning casually against his locker, looking as unreadable as ever. “Ash,” I called, stepping in front of him. He raised a brow. “Morning, princess.” I ignored the nickname. “What’s wrong with Aiden? He’s been avoiding me all morni

    (Ash’s POV) The moment we got home, I turned to Aiden, determined to get answers. He had been acting strange for days, avoiding Lyra like the plague, and I was sick of it. "Aiden, talk to me," I demanded, stepping in front of him before he could escape to his room. "What the hell is going on with you?" He scoffed and tried to push past me, but I grabbed his arm, my grip tightening. "I’m serious, Aiden. You need to stop this. Do you even realize how much you're hurting her?" His jaw clenched, and for a second, I saw something flicker in his eyes—guilt, regret? But he turned away, shoving my hand off him. "It doesn’t matter," he muttered, his voice laced with frustration. "It does matter!" I snapped. "You’re not just hurting her, you’re hurting yourself too." Aiden’s head snapped up, his brown eyes locking onto mine. And i saw it in his eyes. "You love her," I said, my voice quieter but firm. He inhaled sharply, but he didn’t deny it. His silence was all the confirmation I need

    (Lyra's Pov) I sat in class, I tried to focus on the teacher’s words, staring blankly at my notebook, my pencil resting idly between my fingers. No matter how much I tried to focus, my mind refused to cooperate. Instead, it kept circling back to two people. Ash and Aiden. No matter how much I tried to push them from my thoughts, they remained. Aiden with his teasing smirks and cute playful nature, Ash with his brooding silence and unreadable gaze. I felt drawn to them both, as if an invisible thread connected us. Ash made my heart race every time our eyes met, his presence felt like safety itself. And Aiden, who had pushed me away, hurt me, yet still lingered in my thoughts like a shadow I couldn’t escape. It was frustrating. I should be mad—especially at Aiden. I was mad. But deep down, something inside me refused to let go.Even now, I couldn’t forget the way his eyes softened that day—just for a second—before he ran. Why did he affect me so much?

It started small—just a prickling sensation on the back of my neck, a feeling of unease that I tried to ignore. But the longer the day went on, the stronger it got.In the hallways, I felt eyes on me. In class, I swore I caught shadows moving just beyond my vision. At lunch, even with Ash and Aiden nearby, the feeling never left. It was like something—or someone—was lurking just out of sight, waiting for something unknown to happen.By the time I got home, the unease had settled deep in my bones.My brother noticed."You okay, Lyra?" he asked, his brows furrowing as I kept glancing over my shoulder."Yeah, I'm fine," I lied.But I wasn’t fine.That night, the feeling only grew worse.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to shake off the paranoia.

    {Lyra’s POV}I was dragged through the forest like a ragdoll, branches snapping against my skin, dirt filling my mouth as I struggled to stay conscious. My limbs were heavy, my strength waning with every step they forced. Then, I was tossed—like garbage—into a hidden underground room, the air so thick with the scent of old blood and despair that it clung to my throat like poison.Chains clanked, cold metal biting into my wrists. Not just any chains. These were enchanted—designed to weaken, to suppress. I could feel the magic draining me, sucking every spark of resistance from my body until I could barely lift my head."You’ll die tonight," Roxy sneered, crouching beside me with a twisted smile. “And when you’re gone, Aiden will be mine. I’ll erase you from their memories. No one will even remember your name.”She spat the last words like venom, then stood and stormed off. The door slammed, plunging me into thick, suffocating darkness.I curled into myself, every breath a struggle. Tea

That was Lyra. But her voice—gods, it sounded so weak. So fragile.Her voice echoed in my mind like a broken whisper through the bond.“Aiden… Ash…”It was faint. Weak. But real.And then—nothing.“Lyra?” I gasped, spinning around, my heart pounding so fast I could hardly breathe.Ash’s head snapped toward me, his eyes wild. “You heard it too?”“I—I think the bond just…” My voice cracked as my chest constricted. “She’s gone silent.”That silence wasn't normal. It wasn’t peaceful.It was the kind that screamed danger.“Aiden…” Ash whispered, his voice trembling. “I don’t feel her anymore.”We both felt it. Something was wrong.Without another word, we shifted into wolves and ran.We tore through the forest, our paws pounding against the earth like thunder, following the last whisper of her scen

  • Hybrid: Claimed by the Alphas   CHAPTER 25

    (Lyra’s POV) The sun was low on the horizon, casting golden streaks across the sky as I walked through the training field, letting the wind brush against my skin. It was a rare moment of peace after everything—training, fighting, remembering pieces of a past I barely understood. Ash and Aiden had gone to meet with the Beta and check on something urgent. They’d been gone for a while now, but I wasn’t worried. I could feel them through the bond. Calm. Focused. My fingers traced the edge of a dagger on my belt. Ever since the incident at the border, I kept weapons on me. Not that I needed them much—my demon side had only gotten stronger, and Liora had been unusually alert lately, like she was expecting something. “Something’s wrong.” Her worried voice echoed in my mind, low and tense. I froze. “What is it?” I whispered, scanning the area. The forest behind the training ground seemed still—but the air had shifted. Heavier. Thicker. Suddenly, shadows darted from the trees. Five f

    (Lyra’s POV) The next few days felt… heavier. Even though I went through the motions—training, eating, spending time with Ash and Aiden—my mind wouldn’t let go of the memory. My real parents. The attack. My mother’s scream. I couldn’t forget it, no matter how hard I tried. The boys kept a closer eye on me than usual, especially Aiden. He was softer in his worry, always brushing hair from my face or pressing his lips to my temple when he thought I wasn’t paying attention. Ash, on the other hand, stayed close like a shadow, eyes sharp, protective, always watching. But what I wasn’t prepared for… was another memory. It happened in the middle of training. We were practicing hand-to-hand combat—Ash was my opponent this time, and I was actually doing pretty well. Until I wasn’t. The second his palm grazed my cheek in a fake hit, my mind went blank—then burned. FLASHBACK A dark stone room. Chains. A young woman—my mother—was shackled to the wall, bruised and bloodied. “Tell me

My chest had been tight all day, like something was trying to claw its way to the surface—something buried deep inside.I closed my eyes and breathed slowly, trying to calm the strange unease curling in my stomach.The breeze brushed past me gentlyAnd then memories came like wave.FLASHBACKI was four again.The world around me was dark, lit only by a flickering lantern hanging in the corner of a small wooden cabin.The air was warm, the fire crackling softly, but there was no comfort in it.

Her copper hair fell like a waterfall down her back, glowing under the lantern’s light. Her pale blue eyes matched mine. She looked so scared...

    {Lyra’s POV}The sun was high, casting warm golden rays across the training field. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I tried to focus, but between dodging Aiden’s punches and trying to land a proper one of my own, I was already out of breath."You're getting faster," Ash commented, circling me with his arms crossed. "But you're still holding back. Again."Great. More bruises.I took a deep breath, adjusting my stance. Beside me, the Beta stood quietly, analyzing my every move like a hawk watching its prey. His training methods were brutal but effective. If it weren’t for him and my mates pushing me constantly, I wouldn’t have learned half the things I know now.Before we could resume, a sharp howl echoed from the east. Everyone froze.Aiden tilted his head, his face turning serious. "That was a distress signal."Another wolf sprinted into the clearing, his fur matted and panting heavily as he shifted mid-run. "Rogues," he gasped. "They’re attacking again—north border. People are dead

    {Roxy’s POV} The sun had already dipped beneath the horizon, casting a deep amber hue across the sky. I sat in front of the mirror in my room, brushing out my thick hair, but my eyes weren’t focused. They stared right through the reflection. All I could think about was the training field… and her. That girl. She didn’t even look like a wolf. So soft. So human. So… pathetic. And yet, somehow, Aiden looked at her like she hung the stars. I felt my chest tighten as the memory replayed in my mind. Me, walking toward Aiden with a flirty smile, touching his shoulder like I used to. Reminding him of what we once had. I thought he’d be tempted. “Roxy, stop this. I already have a mate.” The way he said it. So cold. So final. Then came her voice. Not even her lips moved, but her command slammed into me like a sledgehammer. “Do not touch my mate. Do not come near them again.” My wolf whimpered. She dropped in submission so fast, I didn’t even have time to blink. And I—Roxy, the hottest

    {Lyra's POV}The training session didn’t quite resume the way I expected after… that. Roxy’s trembling retreat left a heavy silence in her wake. Even the other wolves who had been watching from afar now looked at me with a mixture of awe, curiosity, and something else I couldn’t quite place.Respect?The Beta stepped forward again, his tone shifting from surprised to thoughtful. “Let’s take a short break,” he announced, eyes briefly flicking to me. “I think some of us need a moment.”I watched as the small crowd dispersed. My mates didn’t move an inch from my sides.“Lyra,” Ash said, low and firm, “you did well. Don’t doubt that.”“But…” I hesitated, glancing down at my hands. “What if I hurt someone without meaning to? I didn’t even know I could do that…”Aiden smirked and leaned in to nudge me with his shoulder. “That’s why we’re training you, remember? You’ve got all this untapped power and now? Now we guide you through it. We’re not gonna let you do this alone.”Ash nodded. “And t

    {Lyra's Pov} The warm sun filtered through the canopy above, casting golden flecks across the open training field. My feet sunk slightly into the soft grass as I stood at the edge, eyes wide with nerves and excitement. The sound of shifting wolves, grunts, and laughter echoed in the distance—other pack members already deep in their training. Today was my first official day of training. No more being the lost girl with powers I didn’t understand. Today, I’d learn to control the beast inside me. Ash and Aiden stood on either side of me, both shirtless and barefoot like the rest of the wolves. I tried not to stare too much at their ridiculously toned bodies, but the struggle was real. The beta, stepped forward. “Alright, Luna,” he said with a grin, nodding at me. “Let’s see what you’ve got.” I blinked. “Luna?” “You’re the mate of our future Alphas,” he said with a chuckle. “You hold just as much power as they do. You'll earn that title soon enough.” Aiden stepped behind me, restin
