Hybrid Luna Chapter 24
Stryker-I couldn’t believe my ears. As happy as I was about her willingness to let me claim her, I was also a little hesitant. This wasn’t the way I wanted to make her mine. If only I had more time, I could have allowed her a chance to warm up to the idea.With my birthday still a bit away, I figured it would allow me enough time to fix things between us. The last thing I wanted was for her to tie herself to me by force. I certainly hadn’t expected to run out of time.I admit that I have been feeling a little strange, but I thought it was just because Nea was back in my life and things weren’t what I expected them to be. Now that I knew what the cause was, I wondered if her return had sped the process up. Before I had just been on edge, but I thought it was because I had been no closer to finding her.After her return, I ignored everything else as my main concern was getting closer to Nea. If I had more time, I wouldn’t let her tie herself to me without being sure. Being that I didn’

Neaera-I hadn’t intended to bite him, yet the urge to do so was too strong to hold back. As my fangs sunk into his skin, pleasure shot through me like nothing I had experienced before. When his blood filled my mouth, I knew that no other blood would satisfy me in the way his did.The more it took, the more I wanted and for an instant, I didn’t think I would have the willpower to stop. It was as if something inside of me took over, only wanting to take as much as I desired, regardless of the consequences. For the first time, I was willing to feed into the monster that was inside of me.“Nea…” Stryker’s voice broke through my trance, and I had to force myself to stop.Withdrawing my fangs, shoved him off me. He rolled to the side until he was lying next to me. I felt ashamed of my actions. Sitting up on the bed, I rotated my body until I was sitting on the side with my feet flat on the floor.I didn’t know what had come over me just now, but I knew I didn’t want him to look at me. Feel
Hybrid Luna Chapter 26
Neaera-Even though I felt much better now that I had talked to him, I knew that I wasn’t entirely fixed. For now, I was ready to put my uncertainty to rest. I would continue to be aware of the possibility that I could lose control, but I was going to start believing in myself a little more.The urge to kiss him had me leaning forward. A smile spread across his lips, and his hand moved to rest behind my head. Just before our lips met, a commotion downstairs stopped us. Stryker let out a curse before moving me off him.Since he hadn’t removed his clothes, it didn’t take long for him to fix his appearance enough to leave the room to check out what was going on. Finding my pants, I quickly pulled them on, while forgoing my underwear.As soon as I was dressed, I slipped into the bathroom in the hallway to grab a hair tie. Pulling my hair into a messy bun, I headed down the stairs only to stop when I saw Chloe was there. She was crying on the floor at Stryker’s feet, with her arms wrapped
Hybrid Luna Chapter 27
Stryker-Walking to the school with Nea was better than I could have imagined. Other than walking side by side, nothing happened but it was still more than enough for me. Both my mark and scent were evident on her, proving that she was mine.I could tell she was a little annoyed by the way I kept smiling, yet I didn’t care. I was still over the moon with the way she stepped in to make it clear to Chloe that I was hers. I had expected that it would take more time and effort for her to admit that. Only when we arrived at the school, for the pack meeting, did I become more serious. Mathew was already inside the gym, waiting for our arrival. Pack members were seated on the bleachers, talking amongst themselves.Taking Nea's hand in mine, I was relieved when she didn’t try to pull her hand back. During the time she has been away from me, I was happy to see that she had more of a backbone. Everything I thought I knew about her; she was proving to me time and time again that I had a lot to
Hybrid Luna Chapter 28
Neaera-I didn’t know why Zach was so upset about me being mated, although I couldn’t blame him. As far as he knows, I didn’t want anything to do with anyone in this pack. Since arriving, we haven’t talked much about what has been going on.Everything happened so fast that I haven’t had a chance to explain things to him. Then there was the fact that I am the Beta of his pack but was now mated to an Alpha of another pack. That was the only thing I could think of, of why he is upset.“I can explain.” I said to Zach once we were inside.“Do you know how hard I have worked to make it so other werewolves will accept your kind? This could jeopardize everything.” Zach turned on me, his eyes changing colors from a light shade of blue, to a darker shade of blue.It was exceedingly rare for me to see him on the verge of losing control of his wolf. From what I could tell, he was remarkably close to having his wolf take over. Even black fur was starting to appear on his arms and his face.Steppin
Hybrid Luna Chapter 29
Neaera-Telling Zach everything, well, almost everything, I could see that it was a lot for him to process. I was sure it was a lot for anyone to process. I knew it was for me. Even now, I was still trying to wrap my head around things.I couldn’t tell him all the details that I still didn’t know that Stryker was privy to, nor could I explain my own thoughts on the matter. The only thing I could do was tell him all the details, or rather the events that led up to this moment.I included filling him in on what happened before I ran away. He knew most of my history already, but around the time I first ran away, I had only been focused on finding out I was adopted, not the conversation that happened prior. When I told him how my empathic ability could be controlled when I was touching Stryker, Zach seemed interested but didn’t interrupt.Since I figured he would ask eventually, I included telling him that I wasn’t sure what I was planning to do about the pack situation now that I was mat
Hybrid Luna Chapter 30
Neaera-I thought that if I waited until after the training sessions, it would be better for everyone. I was quickly proven wrong. During the first round, it was clear that I was going to need to step up my game.To do that, I would need to reveal what I was to everyone. Their tactics were good, but not good enough. Unless I attacked them as a vampire would, they wouldn’t be able to fully fight against one.When the first round ended, I felt frustrated. At this rate, we were never going to get through training. There were too many of them and not enough of me. Turning to face Zach, I saw he was just as frustrated. The members of the first group hadn’t seemed to learn anything, other than gain a little knowledge, it hadn’t sunk in.“We aren’t going to prepare them if we don’t give them all the information that they need.” I sighed. I knew what needed to be done, but I was dreading the outcome.“What did you have in mind?” Zach asked, but from his expression, I was sure he knew where I
Hybrid Luna Chapter 31
Neaera-“Vampires!” Someone yelled from the gathered crowd and then I heard a few growls coming from them.“No!” I quickly stepped between the other hybrids and the pack members to make sure no one attacked. “They are hybrids, like me. None of them are here to harm anyone, I asked them to come so we can all work together.”“Why do they have red eyes like vampires?” Another member asked, but I couldn’t see who it was.“Honestly, I don’t really know. I admit that I am a little different, but not in any way that would be dangerous. We still haven’t found out why I am different.” I explained.I had been tempted to tell them all the different things that make me unique but figured it was for the best to at least keep that information limited. As I thought about it, I realized that if I told them, it would only make me sound dangerous. The last thing they needed to know was I was getting my blood from Stryker or Zach, whereas the others drank solely from a blood bag.So far, they seemed to

Hybrid Luna Chapter 78: Epilogue
Neaera-Once everyone left, it was just Stryker and me, alone. I could feel his eyes on me, but he didn’t utter a word. Avoiding eye contact, I moved past him to go upstairs. It felt good to be back home and what I really wanted to do was take a long hot shower.Entering the bedroom I shared with Stryker, I went directly into the bathroom. I was about to close the door, but Stryker flattened his hand against the door, stopping it from closing. I guess I had been so focused on avoiding him, that I failed to notice he was following me.“Don’t think you are getting off the hook that easy. Things have settled down with everyone and everything else, but you and I still have something to discuss.” His deep voice sounded far too serious for my liking, almost causing me to cower in fear.“I know what you are going to say, and I am sorry. I won’t ever do what I did again.”“Do you know though? I don’t think you do. If you did, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.”“I do.” I whispered,
Hybrid Luna Chapter 77
Neaera-Slowly I lowered Stryker to the ground, away from Dimitri’s corpse. Cradling him on my lap, I pressed my hand against the gaping hole in his chest. He was alive, but barely. With all the blood that was seeping out of his wound, I wasn’t sure for how long.I could hear his heartbeat getting slower with each beat. His werewolf healing wouldn’t be fast enough, and we were too far away from anyone to help. Tears welled up in my eyes. I was at a loss for what to do.“You can’t leave me.” I sobbed, not caring that I was full fledge crying right now. “I should have been faster.” I added with another sob.A smile spread over his face, and it looked serene. I wanted to yell at him for smiling, but I was only glad to be able to see his smile, even if it was going to be the last time. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.Leaning forward, I wondered if he had said something, but I hadn’t heard him. I swear if he says some snarky comment, I was going to yell at him. I felt

Neaera-Dimitri went back and forth, each one gaining the upper hand and then losing it. If this kept up, I wasn’t sure how I would manage to keep going. I was throwing everything I had into trying to take him down.There needed to be a change and it needed to happen soon. With no other choice, I focused on blocking and dodging his attacks, so I could reach out to Leo. He hasn’t mentioned any weakness Dimitri has yet, so I doubt I would be able to get any new information.“Leo, please tell me you have something that will help me win against Dimitri.” I connected with him.It was still weird that I could connect with him, even though we were no longer in the same pack. When I decided to the Luna ceremony in Alaska, there had been so much going on that I spaced about losing my connection to Leo. To my surprise, I was still able to connect with him.The Alpha King mentioned that it was possible that even if he hadn’t been a part of the ceremony, our bond was strong enough to carry over.
Hybrid Luna Chapter 75
Neaera-“Why did you want me to meet you here?” I asked Dimitri, after a few seconds.I had no reason to respond to his last statement. I would much rather get down to the bottom of what had changed his mind about meeting with me to talk. I felt like he had alternative motives though, although, I did as well.“What? You don’t like this place? I thought it would add a bit of charm to our meeting.” He looked around with a look of nostalgia on his face.Narrowing my eyes at him, I tried to get a sense of what he was planning. He seemed far too calm and chill for someone who had made it clear that they wanted me to die. I wondered if Leo had gotten into his head at all.That was the only thing I could think of. Of all the hybrids Dimitri had in his possession, Leo was the best at mind games. I talked to Leo this morning, so I didn’t think I needed to worry about him. He hadn’t mentioned anything out of the ordinary.I was tempted to open my link to him, but to do that, I would need to let

Stryker-Now that everyone was gathered near the front entrance, the only one left was Neaera. Glancing at my watch, I frowned at the time. I thought she would have been the first one at the entrance, due to it taking a bit longer than normal to get everyone off.I attempted to link with her, but I felt her mental block in place. The only reason for her to do that is if she was trying to keep me or anyone from connecting with her. I knew instantly that she was either in danger or about to be.“Stubborn woman.” I growled, not realizing until it was too late that I had spoken out loud.“What is it?” Zach asked, who was standing next to me.“Nothing.” I said in a rush.Until I knew what was going on, I didn’t want to alarm anyone. If something was going on, it was probably better to keep it lowkey for now. Knowing her the way I did; she was probably doing this to protect everyone.That in itself was reason enough to not involve anyone. I just wish I knew where to start looking for her. S

Neaera-“What do you want?” I bit off with venom in my voice.“That is no way to talk to your father.” Dimitri laughed and the way he said father seemed as if he had a challenging time choking that word out.“You have never been that to me and you never will. I will ask again, what do you want?”“I just figured we could have a little chat.” Dimitri sighed.“What do we have to talk about? I have heard everything I needed to hear from you.” I tried to keep my voice low just in case someone was walking by. I didn’t want anyone to overhear who I was talking to.“I haven’t told you about your mother or how you were conceived.”That got my attention and as much as I wished I didn’t want to know, I did. Since knowing I was adopted and finding out I was a hybrid, as well as who my father was, I have wanted to know. I still hadn’t heard from Zach whether his test results returned, but I suspected I was his niece.With everything going on, I haven’t had a chance to learn anything about my mothe
Hybrid Luna Chapter 72
Neaera-We spent another couple of days at the resort, enjoying our time while we could. Everything remained relatively calm. The Alpha King stayed just an extra day, but then he had to return to his duties. We didn’t have any more surprise attacks, which was a good thing.Things were starting to fall into place, which was great for everyone. Zach was becoming eager by the minute though. He mentioned how when everything was over, he planned to take a long vacation and spend some quality time with his mate.I didn’t blame him because he was overdue for it. I didn’t understand how he managed to stay away from his mate for so long. Since becoming Stryker’s mate, I couldn’t imagine spending so much time away from him.“Hey.” Speaking of Stryker, he popped his head around the corner, from the bathroom, where he was packing up our stuff while I packed our clothes.“You about done?” I asked, giving him a teasing smile.“I am, but I was going to see if you wanted to take a quick shower with m
Hybrid Luna Chapter 71
Neaera-“What brings you here?” I asked the Alpha King the moment we were seated in the living area of the room that Stryker and I shared.“I had hoped to get here in time before anything happened, but I am sorry I hadn’t been fast enough. I am glad that you are okay though. When I found out that Benson escaped, I decided to follow him to Alaska and deal with him personally.” He was looking at me as he spoke until his attention moved to Stryker.“I am not surprised that you were able to take him out on your own. It just goes to show that some were born to be true Alpha.” The Alpha King added.“I can’t really take the credit. Nea had the situation handled before I got there, I just finished the job.” Stryker turned to smile at me as he reached over and grabbed my hand. “She is the true leader in all of this.”Shaking my head, I rolled my eyes at the pride in his voice. I could give a poor man food and he would think I solved world hunger. I did like how he admired me, but I was embarra
Hybrid Luna Chapter 70
Neaera-It took two days to get everything ready for the ceremony. I was nervous, but I wasn’t at the same time. It was helpful that I had a large support system around me. To think that before everything changed five years ago, I only had my brother to depend on and a few others.Now, I have them and so much more. A part of me wished that Stryker’s parents could be here because I would have loved to show them the woman I have become. I knew they had loved me like their own daughter and for the first time since learning of their death, it hurt knowing that they weren’t here anymore.“Are you ready?” The Alpha King asked through the door.I was in the room I shared with Stryker, but he was already downstairs, making sure everything was ready. The Alpha King was stepping in to make the Luna Ceremony official since we were uniquely going about this. It made me think of a wedding ceremony, that I have seen in movies.I was wearing a white dress, minus the veil, with a tiara covered in dia
