My head was spinning with emotion. Tonight, a dinner would take place where Jarin would explain to Thea why we had looked for her. Tonight, he would essentially be asking her to marry him. Every time I thought of them getting married, of their wedding night…I couldn’t. My wolf growled with possessive jealousy. It was just as well I wasn’t able to let him out for a while due to the pendant. I’m not sure I could trust him to stay away from her. Part of me also yearned for the dinner to come. I would see her again. A mind link from Doran pulled me from my thoughts. He wanted to see me before the dinner. I knew what it would be about. I told him I would meet him in the garden near Jarin’s rooms so we could go into dinner straight after. I looked out the window for a moment to watch the last of the afternoon sun dim to an orange hue.
Not long after Doran’s a link, one came t

**Jarin**I waited for the others to leave and then turned to Thea. “I hope you do feel comfortable with me alone, I just feel what I have to tell you next…you deserve space to consider it.”I could see she was nervous. “Let’s go and sit by the fire, would you like anything else to drink?”She shook her head, and took one of the soft chairs. I came and sat opposite her taking a deep breath. “Thea, Atlas mentioned that you wear a necklace of sorts. Are you happy for me to see it?” She looked confused but lifted it from under the neckline of her dress. As soon as I saw it, I could not help but gasp. It was so similar to the one I had given Atlas. The same strange braid, but a slightly different looking pendant. “Have you ever taken it off?”“I was abandoned with it on&hel
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 19- Thea
**Thea**When I stepped out of the room, as promised Bessie was waiting for me. She gave me a warm smile and took my hand in hers. We didn’t have to say anything. I knew she was sorry that I had to make such an important decision, and she knew I was exhausted just thinking about it. We walked slowly back to my room, the sound of our footsteps echoing on the stone floor. As we approached my door, she turned to me. “If there is anything I can do, anything I can say or talk through with you, I am always here.”“That means a lot to me, I would like to talk about. Maybe tomorrow.” I just wanted to collapse.“Of course.” She made her way towards the room that was opposite mine, when a thought suddenly occurred to me.“Bessie?” She turned back to face me. “I’m sorry if this is personal but…you mentioned that you and

**Atlas**She was driving me wild. I kept replaying the moment in my head of catching her, our eyes meting and the warmth of her body being inches from mine. In that moment, I’d wanted to push her against the garden wall and press my lips onto hers. I wanted to move my hand up her dress and touch her between her legs until she called out my name in pleasure. My member was stiffer than it had ever been, and I needed to relieve myself before I was able to leave my room. I couldn’t even think about sleeping with another woman, the thought of touching someone else now made me feel physically sick. I reached down and took hold of myself, imagining her beneath me, the two of us wrapped together in passion. It was as if I could see her, feel her, taste her. My climax ripped through me, panting I opened my eyes, feeling more alone than ever.Today was going to be another difficult one. It was the first day Asher and I were ta
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 21- Jarin
**Jarin**The day had finally arrived. I stood outside the old holding with Doran and some of my other pack members. It was the first day Atlas and Asher were tutoring Thea in regards to her new found powers. I had planned to be there but I felt this was too important to miss. At least that’s what I was telling myself. If I was really honest with myself though, I was here because I needed to see Viola again. I needed to know if I had imagined my attraction before. Until then, I couldn’t focus on Thea properly.Movement in the trees caught my attention. Cloaked figures moved towards us. They had arrived. I watched as the figure at the front removed their hood. I steadied myself. She was so unlike any werewolf woman I had seen, and more beautiful than I remembered. She walked in such a way that was both graceful and dangerous. Now I couldn’t deny that I was attracted to her. I tried not to think about what this me
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 22- Atlas
**Atlas**A very small part of me knew this wasn’t a good idea. I’d never killed a human before. There hadn’t been any reason to. They normally remained separated from our supernatural world. Killing a human would feel different to killing another supernatural being. It wouldn’t be a fair fight for them. However, I wasn’t interested in a fight, I was only interested in the kill.The other concern was that I might be seen. Keeping humans in the dark about us worked in our favour. We could live in our world and leave them in theirs.The trouble was at this precise moment I wasn’t listening to any reason. The image of Thea’s back so badly beaten kept flashing in front of my eyes. To know that she could have died a slow and painful death as a result of infection made my blood boil. I wanted to avenge her. I knew that if Thea married Jarin, it would be on
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 23- Thea
**Thea**The first thing I felt was sore. Then nausea. I thought about opening my eyes but decided to wait a few moments. Something had happened. Then it all came flooding back, gaining control of my mage powers, shifting for the first time, Atlas carrying me…I decided to finally open my eyes. I did so slowly, squinting at the bright light. As the room came into focus, I saw Bessie was sitting in front of me. Concern covered her face.“Thea? How are you feeling?”“Sick. Aching” I croaked.She got up and went to the table, picking up a jug of water and decanting some into a glass. I pushed myself up on to my elbows a little. Without asking she brought the rim of the glass to my lips and I took a few sips. That felt better. I slumped back into the pillows.“The aching is normal after your first shift. The sickness might be th

**Jarin**It was the day that Thea had asked to do some research with Asher. I decided to join them, seeing as I had spent hardly any time with Thea. I realised it was no good spending more time with Viola. Clearly, I was attracted to her. But I hadn’t really given Thea a chance.The library where we were to be was one of my favourite rooms in the entire castle, although I didn’t get to spend as much time in it as I would like. As Alpha, it was not my job to do the research. It was my job to decide who else was going to do it while I took care of other things. Asher was our main point of call for the task. He loved books as much as I did, and he had an excellent memory.As I stepped through the doors, I allowed myself to take a deep breath in, enjoying the wonderful and comforting smell of old books. Like many grand libraries, the dark wood shelves reached right up to the ceiling
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 25- Atlas
**Atlas**I was still reeling from Gurtar’s kill. The only thing I was thankful for was that Doran had not made any more attempts to talk to me about it. What also helped was that I had barely seen Jarin. He was so busy with the council that our paths didn’t normally cross. He wasn’t spending a lot of time with Thea either. I had mixed feelings about this. On one hand I loved the fact they didn’t appear to be getting close. On the other, what would this mean for our collective future? It was also strange he was doing so much of the council work himself. It was something he would usually delegate to me. I guessed he wanted me to focus on Thea’s training. Because of the training, I had now spent far more time with Thea than he had. For the past few days, we had been experimenting with Thea’s abilities. After she had heard about the wolf

**Atlas**I became aware of a burning sensation down the entirety of my right-hand side. The pain tore through me and I winced as I tried to focus my mind on what was happening. Then the sound of the battle reached my ears. Everything came rushing back to me, and I immediately looked around for Robert. I could see him a few paces away from me on the ground. I crawled over to him and managed to gauge that he was unconscious but breathing.I began to look around me properly, and noticed that we were no longer attacking our own allies. My eyes snapped to the general who’d been performing the charm, and then I saw her. My Queen. Her attention was completely focused on the general who seemed to be infuriated. He looked as if he was trapped without anything physically trapping him. I watched as Thea stalked towards him slowly, and I realised she was going in for the kill.I made myself move

**Thea**“Thea! Thea! You need to wake up!”I blinked against the candle light.“What…what’s…” I began hazily.I could sense Atlas was pulling on his clothes hastily.“Thea we need to go. The mages are on their way!”I didn’t need anymore information. I sprung out of bed looking for my own clothes. They were all loose fitting to make it easier to shift. We hurried to the great hall to meet all of the others. People were coming out of every door along the passages, hurrying to the destination they needed. I briefly saw Bessie ushering a woman and her young children towards the hidden chamber Atlas had shown her yesterday. We shared a quick knowing look and continued on.When we got to the great hall, some of the Alpha’s were al

**Atlas**I followed after Thea. I knew that no matter how angry she was with me at the moment, we had to focus on what was happening right now.Jarin and Viola were waiting in the courtyard for us. It occurred to me that she didn’t have a horse. Vampires were no where near as quick as us, and I mused at how they had managed to arrive together.“Back so soon old friend.” I commented, pulling him into an embrace.“Yes. Had to check up on you of course.” He winked at me.“If you two have finished cuddling up to each other, maybe we should get started on the preparation for this attack.” I blinked at the vampire’s audacity, but Jarin merely gave a shy smile.“I quite agree…Lady Viola is it? It’s good to meet you at last. I’m Thea.” Thea extend

**Thea**Despite the impending threat, I was feeling the happiest I had ever felt in my entire life. Being with Atlas was completely magical. If we didn’t have to prepare the pack for the mage attack, we wouldn’t have left our bedroom. Still, I knew that once this part was over, we’d be able to have more time together.Yesterday had been the first day of training for the pack. It hadn’t been as productive as we’d hoped, but people were trying to control something they still didn’t truly understand.It was just after dawn, and my father and I had decided to meet before the rest of the pack came down. I knew I was close to being able to use my mage powers in wolf form, I just hadn’t cracked it yet.Asher and Bessie were coming with me. I’d grown close to them, although Asher was a bit more of a surprise. When I saw my fat
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 39- Jarin
**Jarin**I looked out of the window. My view from this chamber was of the newly laid vegetable patches and cleared land for a planned orchard next year. Since I’d arrived yesterday, I found new and amazing things that Viola had achieved with our people. There was something of her spirit here, and that was something that I loved.After I’d said what I had last night she’d not reacted in the way I’d hoped, although not in the worst way either. She’d told me she needed time to think about what I’d said, and what it would mean for her. What her people would think. Of course, I understood.But I couldn’t pretend I’d hoped that she would run into my arms telling me she loved me back. I went out of the chamber in search of some breakfast. I hadn’t seen the kitchen yet, so it would be worth going if only for that.There

**Atlas**I wasn’t sure how long we stayed in the cave. To me it was just a glorious blur of making love and holding her while we slept. Now that we had marked each other and mated, the bond between us was insanely powerful. It was as if we now shared the same heart, each of us taking care to look after it for the sake of the other.I was lying beside her, looking into her eyes as we allowed our breathing to regulate back to normal.I knew she’d been a virgin, and I was worried she may now be sore.“Are you okay?”She sighed happily. “I am the most content I have ever been.”I stroked her cheek gently and kissed the corner of her mouth.“We should try mind linking.”She raised her eyebrow. “I can do that now?”
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 37- Thea
**Thea**We’d come out into the garden. The same one we’d walked in some weeks ago. It was quieter here than inside the castle, and it meant something to the both of us. We stood in front of each other, him holding my hands in his. The fact we could do this and not feel guilty or ashamed was such an incredible happiness.“I feel as if I am dreaming.” I whispered.“If this is a dream, then I hope I never wake up.” He replied. He moved closer to me, and placed a gentle kiss upon my lips.I wanted so much more of him, but I didn’t know how to tell him. I was so unused to being this close to him, I didn’t know how to explain that I was tired of waiting. I wanted us to have each other. Then I remembered something from the first few days of being here.“Atlas?&rdq
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 36- Jarin
**Jarin**I knew my words were going to cause one of two reactions. Dead silence, or absolute uproar.It ended up being the latter. The emotions ranged from shocked, angry and confused. People were shouting questions at me so quickly I had no idea who was asking them.“This is outrageous, how can you step down at a time like this!?”“Is Atlas even capable of being our King?”“Will you still be part of the pack?”“What if the seer is wrong and you give up your throne for nothing?!”Atlas came up behind and whispered hurriedly in my ear, “Alpha what are you doing?”I raised my hand for silence, but there was not an instant quiet like there normally would have been. I guessed that they were beginning to disregard
The Hybrid- Supernatural Love Series: Book 1 Chapter 35- Atlas
**Atlas**The whole hall was silent. I was panting as adrenaline coursed through my body. The only sound I could hear was my heart thumping against my chest.I couldn’t believe what I had just done. I was shocked by my own action. It was as if something had taken over my body. It had happened as soon as she’d looked at me. I wondered if she hadn’t done that, I would have allowed her to place the ring on Jarin’s finger. I realised it could only be my wolf that was responsible. Seeing her in a wedding dress but it not being me who she was marrying was horrific. It felt so unbelievably wrong.I stood, frozen to the spot. Staring into Thea’s eyes, I could not tell what she was thinking. I knew now the pendant was off, she would truly know who I was.Jarin was the first person to break the silence. He whispered something in Thea’s ear,
