Hybrid Luna Chapter 1
Neaera-“We are going to be late if you don’t hurry!” My older brother Stryker yelled from the other side of my door.I was already dressed and ready to go, but as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I wished I could go back to bed. For the past two weeks, I have been free of my tormentors at school, living life to the fullest with my family. Now that winter break was over, I dreaded returning to school.It wasn’t that I hated school, I just didn’t like dealing with the other kids at school. I was smart and at the top of my class. The teachers loved me, and I always did my best to help the teachers out.If it weren’t for them, I think that my existence at school would have been much worse than it already was. If only I had been born with the werewolf gene just like everyone else in this pack. Being the only human granted me a lot of people that made it their life goal to make my life a living hell, not to mention I was also overweight, which only added to my misery.Unlike the ot

Neaera-I hadn’t been lucky as I had hoped for, because they admitted to waiting until after my brother left. Stryker has made it clear that if he saw them mess with me, he would step in. He thought they stopped picking on me, but that wasn’t the case.I just became better at hiding it. It wasn’t that I wasn’t grateful that he was protecting me, I just didn’t want to feel like a burden. He had enough to deal with right now and he didn’t need to worry about me.All morning the kids that openly picked on me made sure to make things harder for me. One of the girls that picked on me was named Chloe and she was the ringleader of the group. I knew it was because she was in love with Stryker but didn’t want me around.If she thought that he would ever look twice at her with the way she treated me, she had another thing coming. My brother couldn’t stand her, not only because she picked on me, but because she continued to throw herself at him. The worst thing she has done was try to set me up

Neaera-After stopping by the school office, for Stryker to inform them he was pulling me out of school for the rest of the day, he led me outside. I thought we were headed home until he took a detour that would take us in a different direction. Afraid to say anything because I could tell he was extremely pissed right now; I kept my mouth shut.Letting him drag me away, I did my best to keep up with him. His long legs were no match for my legs, which made it challenging to keep pace with him. Practically running, my legs and lungs burned, proving I was out of shape.By the time we reached a secluded area in the forest, I had no choice but to pull my wrist from his grasp. Bending over, I placed my palms on my knees so I could take a couple of deep breaths. Once I felt a little better, I stood up straight and saw Stryker looking at me with a frown on his face.“You should have told me right away when they started messing with you.” Stryker directed his anger at me.I wanted to calm him

Neaera-At Stryker’s words, I dropped my phone, that I was holding. It crashed on the floor, causing everyone to turn to look at me. A look of pain flashed over their faces and they each tried to take a step toward me.Holding my hands up, I shook my head and took a few steps back. Feeling betrayed, I couldn’t stand to look at anyone right now. Needing to get away, I stumbled back before turning to run out the front door.“Nea!” Stryker called after me.As I ran away from the house, I looked over my shoulder to make sure I wasn’t being followed. Our parents were holding Stryker back. Actually, no, they weren’t my parents. The realization that I was truly alone in this world hit me.Once I was sure I was out of sight of them, I took a detour and made my way toward the forest. With tears in my eyes, I ran as fast and as hard as I could. My lungs were on fire as I ran, and I still felt as if I was on fire.At this moment, I wished more than anything I was in better shape. No matter what

Neaera-“I can tell from the look on your face that you are in shock. Why don’t we go somewhere a little more secluded and I will tell you everything I know?” Zach said as he reached for my hand.While he didn’t seem threatening, there was no way I was going to go anywhere with him. Pulling out of his reach, I backed into the tree, ignoring the bark that was scratching at my back. For all I knew, he was going to take me somewhere and kill me.It didn’t matter that my world was spiraling out of control right now, I had no desire to die. Looking around at my surroundings, I noticed a total of six others with Zach. Other than that, the place looked secluded enough.“Just tell me now. I am not going anywhere with you.”His eyes moved from mine, and he released a sigh. Following his line of sight, I noticed he was looking at the man that was standing closest to him. Unlike the others surrounding us, Zach was the only one that didn’t have red eyes.“Create a perimeter and make sure there ar

Stryker-After an hour, Neaera still hadn’t returned. My parents tried convincing me to give her more time to calm down, yet I couldn’t do it. It was bad enough that I gave her an hour. I couldn’t believe my own stupidity for arguing with them where she could hear us.I knew she must be upset, which was why I needed to find her. She needed to know the truth about everything. I have been holding it in for two years because my parents thought she wasn’t ready. Now that she was eighteen, she needed to know we weren’t related and that I was her mate.Running around the territory like a madman, I checked out every hiding spot I knew about. Since we were children, we have always been close. I didn’t know she was adopted until I was older. My first instinct has always been to protect her, but I always thought it was because I was her older brother.After learning the truth, I realized my feelings for her were more than just brotherly love. Harboring my feelings for her has been difficult. Wh

Neaera-“You have a new mission.” Alpha Zach said, not bothering to knock as he entered my office.Looking up from the paperwork I was working on, I raised my brows at him. For the five years I have been here, I figured he would be better at communicating with me. Not that I could really complain, considering I wouldn’t be who I am today without him.“Hey Neaera, how are you? I know you just returned from a mission, but I have another one for you if you’re up for it.” I said in a mocking tone, deepening my voice to make it sound similar to his.“I think you have known me long enough to know I don’t care for unnecessary pleasantries.” Zach moved from the door and came to lean on the edge of my desk.“As you should know by now, I don’t like being told what to do.”Leaning back in my chair, I crossed my arms over my chest. My eyes narrowed on him, as I silently challenged him to argue with me. He might be the Alpha, but I was done having others attempt to control my life.It wasn’t that

Neaera- Seeing the name of the Alpha, I sat up straight in my chair. My hands tightened on the folder, as shock reverberated through me. I had to blink a few times to make sure I was reading it correctly and I wasn’t just imagining it. “No.” I stated simply before throwing the open folder on the table. My eyes remained glued to the folder, but my hands now felt as if they had been burned. It took me a year to come to terms with my past. Another year for me to let go of it fully, enough to move on completely. “This isn’t open for debate.” Zach said, picking up the folder from my desk. I wanted to throw something at him enough to knock him out cold. He knew about my past and for him to ask me to return there was beyond my understanding. Looking up at him, I noticed he was hiding his emotions well. “How can you stand there and ask me to go back?” Disbelief filled me as well as betrayal. “It isn’t like anyone would recognize you. You aren’t the same person you were when you left. As

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,

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.

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

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

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
