Hybrid Luna ย ย ย Chapter 41
Neaera-โDid you see anyone?โ I asked when I reached them.โWe ran into a warrior on patrol, but he was passed out. After we smelled the wolfsbane, we carried him to a shed outside of the territory line. Other than that, we didnโt find anyone else. We saw some tracks where it looked like wolves were being dragged, but there were too many tracks to figure out which direction to go.โ Leo answered.โI am sure that the noise was a distraction. I donโt know what is going on, but I donโt like this one bit.โ Anthony added.I was thinking the exact same thing. If only I was able to control my ability to feel what others felt, I could locate everyone. It was strange how everyone that had been running around earlier, had all disappeared.Looking down the street we were on, I didnโt see anyone. My ears were still ringing from the sirens going off and now I couldnโt smell anything over this overbearing scent. The biggest question I had going through my head right now, was how was it possible to m

Stryker-The wait was killing me. Thirty long minutes have passed since I saw my mate. Dirk had shown up with Chase, one of the newest warriors that were just recruited this year. Not long after that, I felt the pack link of one of my members break.It pissed me off that I couldnโt find out what was going on. I had attempted to after feeling one of my members die, but Zach and Dirk had held me back. Only with Zach explaining for the tenth time why I couldnโt leave, did I calm down.โWhere are the others?โ I directed my question to both Dirk and Zach since they were the only ones that could connect with the hybrids.โAnthony just informed me that Neaera overheard who her father and mother were.โ Dirk responded.โWho are they?โ Mathew asked, his curiosity showing in his voice.โDimitri is her father and,โ He paused as he looked over at Zach. โHe said that Rieka is her mother.โNot really understanding the significance of what he said, my attention fell on Zach. His eyes were wide, and h

Neaera-โTo make sure that you return, I think I should have one of you stay here with me.โ Dimitri stopped us from leaving, by signaling a group of vampires to surround us.Grinding my teeth, I kept myself from saying what I really wanted to say to him. Did he think for one second, I was just going to hand someone over when he already had the one thing that I was willing to return for? They might not be my pack any longer, but I had already agreed to return to the pack.Not only that, but this was Strykerโs pack, which meant that if something happened to everyone, it could potentially kill him. That wasnโt something I was willing to chance. Letting one of the hybrids stay back though, was overstepping a line when we were the werewolvesโ best chance of getting them out of this situation.โYou already have over a hundred werewolves, why do you need one more?โ I asked instead, trying to buy a little time while I try to figure a way out of this.โIt is simple really. You might be willing

Neaera-He held me in his arms for a good while, before he set me on my feet. His hands cradled my face as he moved my head from side to side, then he moved his hands to grab my wrists to spread my arms out. He continued to move my body around, turning me around, checking me over from head to toe.โAre you hurt anywhere?โ He asked as he checked over my body.Seeing how he was carefully examining me for injuries, I felt a little better about everything going on. We might be in a messed-up situation with no idea how to get out of it, but at least I had him to be there for me. It was endearing just knowing that he had my best interest at heart.โI am fine. None of them hurt me.โ I assured him while grabbing his hands, so he would stop examining me.โGuys, hate to break up this sweet moment you are having, but why donโt we go inside so we can talk about what is going on?โ Kalea interrupted us, her hands pressing against my back to urge me to go inside.Stryker pulled me into his side and

Neaera-Fire blazed all around me, although I didnโt know where I was. It was hard to see anything through the flames and the smoke. I could hear screams coming from every direction I turned.I kept looking for a way to get past the flames, but there werenโt any openings. Reaching my hand out, I reached out to the fire, yet it wasnโt hot. I could feel the heat against my skin, but it didnโt burn.โWhat is going on?โ I asked aloud, not expecting anyone to answer.โWe are within your dreams.โ A familiar voice said, but I couldnโt place where I had heard the voice.โWhat is this dream?โ I asked, now feeling silly that I was talking to myself, and yet I wasnโt at the same time.โThis is your future.โ The voice spoke again, sounding as if it was fading away.โPlease tell me more.โ I begged, not wanting to be left alone.The voice didnโt answer me again, so I took a step back and twirled around, hoping to see who I had been talking to. I didnโt see anything, except the flames that danced ar

Neaera-Once I had settled down enough, Stryker and I went downstairs. I hadnโt told him about my dream because I knew it was going to be something I was going to need to tell everyone. Since I didnโt want to relive the experience more than I had to, I waited until we were all gathered downstairs.I filled them in on everything that I could remember, making sure to emphasize that the wolf told me that it would be because of me. No one said anything for a long while after I finished talking. They all seemed to either be deep in thought or deeply disturbed, I couldnโt tell which.โAre you sure it was your wolf you were talking to?โ Zach spoke first.โHonestly, I am not entirely sure, but there was a familiarity that I felt next to her. She was black and had red eyes. She didnโt seem very friendly towards me though.โ I sighed as I gently slid around the coffee mug I had between my palms, on the table.โDonโt take that too personal.โ Stryker said with a slight chuckle. โHalf the time my w

Neaera-Feeling a little better that we were starting to get somewhere with everything, I turned to face Stryker, giving him my full attention.โWe know that you have control when touching me, so I was thinking what if we start with that and slowly integrate that to where I am not touching you? Where I pull my hand back little by little?โI was expecting something else from him, not this. Scrunching my brows together, I thought about what he was suggesting. It sounded a little way too simple.โI was just thinking that if we slowly introduced it, it might help. First, we would need you to be able to understand what you are doing when we are touching.โ Stryker added.Maybe it sounded easier than it actually did, either way, I didnโt know how this could solve anything. It certainly sounded like something that would take a bit of time, which we didnโt have a lot of. Letting out a slow breath, I nodded my head.โWe can try it.โ As the words left my lips, I looked around the table, hoping s

Neaera-We returned to the house and found that everyone was already gathered around the table. My laptop was in the center with Zach, Travis, and Mathew watching the screen. They looked engrossed in whatever they were seeing, but there was no sound.โWhat is going on?โ I asked as both Stryker and I stepped around to see the computer as well.On the computer screen, it was a video feed that was in the gym. Dimitri was pacing back and forth yelling something. From the way he was throwing his hands around, I could see he was mad about something.He moved to stand in front of someone, but I couldnโt see clearly who it was. Their body was just outside of the video frame, but I could see their right shoulder. I wish we had audio, because whatever was going on, looked as if Dimitri was losing his cool.โWe are trying to get audio, but he has been like this for the last twenty minutes. It is Leo that he is yelling at.โ Zach answered.โDo you know why?โ I placed my hand on Zach's shoulder and

Hybrid Luna ย ย ย Chapter 78: Epilogue
Neaera-Once everyone left, it was just Stryker and me, alone. I could feel his eyes on me, but he didnโt 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.โDonโt 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.โ His deep voice sounded far too serious for my liking, almost causing me to cower in fear.โI know what you are going to say, and I am sorry. I wonโt ever do what I did again.โโDo you know though? I donโt think you do. If you did, you wouldnโt have done it in the first place.โโI do.โ I whispered,

Neaera-Slowly I lowered Stryker to the ground, away from Dimitriโs 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 wasnโt sure for how long.I could hear his heartbeat getting slower with each beat. His werewolf healing wouldnโt 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.โYou canโt leave me.โ I sobbed, not caring that I was full fledge crying right now. โI should have been faster.โ 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 hadnโt 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 wasnโt 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 hasnโt mentioned any weakness Dimitri has yet, so I doubt I would be able to get any new information.โLeo, please tell me you have something that will help me win against Dimitri.โ 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 hadnโt been a part of the ceremony, our bond was strong enough to carry over.
Hybrid Luna ย ย ย Chapter 75
Neaera-โWhy did you want me to meet you here?โ 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.โWhat? You donโt like this place? I thought it would add a bit of charm to our meeting.โ 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 didnโt think I needed to worry about him. He hadnโt 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.โStubborn woman.โ I growled, not realizing until it was too late that I had spoken out loud.โWhat is it?โ Zach asked, who was standing next to me.โNothing.โ I said in a rush.Until I knew what was going on, I didnโt 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-โWhat do you want?โ I bit off with venom in my voice.โThat is no way to talk to your father.โ Dimitri laughed and the way he said father seemed as if he had a challenging time choking that word out.โYou have never been that to me and you never will. I will ask again, what do you want?โโI just figured we could have a little chat.โ Dimitri sighed.โWhat do we have to talk about? I have heard everything I needed to hear from you.โ I tried to keep my voice low just in case someone was walking by. I didnโt want anyone to overhear who I was talking to.โI havenโt told you about your mother or how you were conceived.โThat got my attention and as much as I wished I didnโt 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 hadnโt heard from Zach whether his test results returned, but I suspected I was his niece.With everything going on, I havenโt had a chance to learn anything about my mothe

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 didnโt 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 didnโt blame him because he was overdue for it. I didnโt understand how he managed to stay away from his mate for so long. Since becoming Strykerโs mate, I couldnโt imagine spending so much time away from him.โHey.โ 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.โYou about done?โ I asked, giving him a teasing smile.โI am, but I was going to see if you wanted to take a quick shower with m
Hybrid Luna ย ย ย Chapter 71
Neaera-โWhat brings you here?โ I asked the Alpha King the moment we were seated in the living area of the room that Stryker and I shared.โI had hoped to get here in time before anything happened, but I am sorry I hadnโt 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.โ He was looking at me as he spoke until his attention moved to Stryker.โI 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.โ The Alpha King added.โI canโt really take the credit. Nea had the situation handled before I got there, I just finished the job.โ Stryker turned to smile at me as he reached over and grabbed my hand. โShe is the true leader in all of this.โShaking 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 ย ย ย Chapter 70
Neaera-It took two days to get everything ready for the ceremony. I was nervous, but I wasnโt 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 Strykerโs 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 werenโt here anymore.โAre you ready?โ 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
