The Rejected Hybrid: The Alpha Wants Us Back 105
The early morning sunlight spilled through the car windows as Daniella adjusted the seatbelt around her daughter Sophie and smiled softly. The girl was brimming with excitement, her tiny legs swinging back and forth beneath her booster seat as she clutched her lunchbox tightly."Are you ready for school, baby?" Daniella asked, glancing at Sophie through the rearview mirror.Sophie beamed, her chestnut curls bouncing. "Yes, Mama! I packed my crayons and my unicorn stickers for show-and-tell. Miss Amelia said I could talk about my stay at Alpha Dalton's pack!"Daniella chuckled, her heart full. "You’re going to make all your classmates jealous when you tell them about the garden maze and the stables. Remember how you fed that grumpy old goat?""And he sneezed on me!" Sophie laughed, wrinkling her nose. "But I love the pack house. Uncle Dalton always gives me cookies, even when you say no."Daniella smiled, her gaze softening at the mention of Dalton. "He’s a big softie. But don’t tell h

Dalton sat on the bench just outside Daniella's hospital room, one hand pressed to his temple while the other clenched his phone tightly. The soft beep of machines from inside her ward felt louder than it should. It mirrored the rhythm of his own heart—frantic and anxious.He finally dialed Grace's number.“Hello?” Grace’s voice was sleepy but immediately alert at the sound of his breathing.“It’s me,” Dalton said quietly, his voice hoarse. “Something’s happened.”“What is it?” she sat up straighter, Roy stirring beside her. “Is Daniella okay? Sophie?”“There was an attack,” Dalton began, swallowing hard. “This morning… someone opened fire on their car while Daniella was driving Sophie to school. Daniella took a bullet to the shoulder. She’s in the hospital now.”“Oh my goddess,” Grace whispered. “And Sophie?”“I told her Daniella that Sophie is with you,” he said tightly. “I didn’t want her panicking when she woke. She was drugged and in shock. But the truth is… Sophie’s missing.”Th

As soon as the call with Dalton ended, Grace rose from the bed like she’d been burned. Her silk robe fluttered around her ankles as she moved swiftly, snatching her phone and reaching for a sweater.“I need to go check on Ethan,” she muttered, more to herself than Roy.Roy reached out instinctively and caught her wrist. “Grace…”She halted, her breath catching. His touch was tentative—too gentle, too late.“I’m sorry,” Roy said quietly, eyes searching hers. “For everything.”Grace looked down at where his hand held hers, her face hardening. Slowly, deliberately, she pulled away. “Not now, Roy. I’m not ready for this. Daniella could be dying. Her daughter is missing. I can’t—” Her voice cracked, and she clenched her fists, grounding herself in the urgency of someone else’s pain.Roy exhaled slowly, heart aching. “I’m worried too, Grace. I didn’t mean—”“I know,” she snapped, not out of cruelty, but out of emotional overload. “I know you didn’t mean anything. But intentions don’t matter

Dalton sat stiffly in the rigid hospital chair, his elbows perched on his knees, fingers laced tightly together. The room was dim except for the soft glow of the machines monitoring Daniella's vitals, their rhythmic beeping a painful reminder of her unconscious state. She looked pale under the harsh fluorescent light, fragile in a way that unsettled him deeply. He hadn't left her side except for a single coffee break and the occasional trip to the restroom, but even those short absences gnawed at him. He didn’t want her waking up alone—not now, not after everything.Hours had slipped by. Time moved differently in hospitals, suspended in a heavy fog of antiseptic air and sterile silence. His men had yet to report anything, and the longer the silence stretched, the more agitated he became. Sophie was still missing.Just as he reached for his phone to call his head of security, it buzzed in his hand. Relief surged in his chest when he saw the name."Tomas," he answered briskly, voice sha

“We found her,” Dalton said, his voice low with a mixture of relief and disbelief.There was a brief moment of silence before Roy spoke again, his voice wavering slightly. “Are you serious? Where is she now?”“Safe. Daniella and Sophie are safe. They’re out of the danger zone, and Sophie’s being discharged in three days.” Dalton paused, a rush of emotions flooding his chest. “I’m having them stay with me for now. I don’t think Daniella’s ready to go back to her own place yet.”“Good. We’ll come right after she is discharged,” Roy responded.Dalton nodded, even though Roy couldn’t see him. “It is for the best, because the hospital does not want the place to be crowded, since the security is outside her ward, and it is already causing tension at the hospital.. Tell Grace I’ll be there to pick you both up. I’ll bring them home.”The call ended, and Dalton exhaled deeply. His hand lingered on the phone for a moment longer, as if trying to steady the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions sto

ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO Many, many years ago, before the moon ever looked kindly on the Emerald Pack, before it bore the name that would inspire awe across the territories, it had another name — one spoken only in hushed tones by the old and the haunted. Once, it was a place of shadows and fear, ruled by a tyrant whose reign had withered every shred of hope from the hearts of its people. His name had long since been erased from the histories, not out of ignorance, but out of deliberate intent. The pack had chosen to forget.This alpha, cruel and insatiable in his thirst for power, ran the pack with an iron fist. He saw his members not as family, but as tools — to be used, to be discarded, to be punished. Families lived in fear, mothers whispered warnings to their children, and warriors bore scars not only from outside battles, but from within. The woods that now stood tall and proud were then filled with silent dread.But change, as it often does, came from the unlikeliest of places.He h

The forest had always whispered ancient secrets, but Elizabeth had never expected to be part of one. She’d only wanted to explore some of the old trails beyond the marked boundaries. But somehow, she’d wandered too far, drawn in by the haunting beauty of the wild and the unearthly quiet. Trees loomed like sentinels, and the shadows stretched deeper than they should have. Before she knew it, a group of imposing men had surrounded her.They moved with eerie grace and frightening precision, their eyes glowing with something primal. She hadn’t even had time to scream before she was bound and blindfolded, the cold roughness of rope scraping her skin.When the blindfold was finally removed, she found herself in a cold stone cell deep within a prison under the Emerald Pack's stronghold.****************That was the first time Alpha Czar laid eyes on her.He was there for a routine inspection, flanked by two of his guards. His towering figure filled the hallway, his black coat whipping behin

Czar's parents, welcomed Elizabeth with open arms. Their trust in their son's judgment was unwavering. “He’s never made a decision that endangered this pack,” he told the council once. “If he sees a Luna in her, then so do I.”The majority of the pack mirrored this sentiment, embracing Elizabeth as one of their own.However, not all shared this enthusiasm. A few elders from the high council murmured amongst themselves. They saw her lineage—or lack thereof—as a threat to tradition. A Luna should come from a bloodline of power, they argued. Not from nowhere.“We do not doubt your leadership, Alpha,” Elder Harran had said, rising to speak. “But a Luna must come from strength. Her background is unknown. How can we be certain she is the right choice?”Czar had risen slowly, his frame imposing, his voice calm but razor-edged."Have I ever led this pack into ruin?" he asked, locking eyes with each elder."No, Alpha," they replied in quiet unison."Have I not fought, bled, and sacrificed to k

WEDDING DAYThe sun rose that morning with a golden brilliance, casting its warmth over the Garvalle estate and bathing everything in a honeyed glow. There was a pulse in the air—a quiet buzz of anticipation that seemed to stretch into the trees, shake the birds from their nests, and awaken every wolf in the pack with a shared thought:Today was the day Daniella and Dalton were getting married.The pack had begun preparing days ago, but this morning, everything snapped into focus. The pack house, usually a center of training and council, had been transformed overnight into something magical. Banners in silver and deep forest green—the Hollow pack colors—fluttered gently in the breeze. Strings of delicate fairy lights were wrapped around the towering pine columns that lined the courtyard, and clusters of white roses were being fastened to every banister, doorframe, and post with painstaking care.In the great hall, pack members bustled with purpose, laughter echoing off the walls as fi

A DAY BEFORE THE WEDDINGThe grand hall of the Pack's estate buzzed with anticipation. Sunlight streamed through the towering stained-glass windows, casting vibrant mosaics of gold, crimson, and indigo across the polished marble floor. The scent of lavender and pine—blended with the faintest trace of ceremonial incense—drifted through the air, adding a sacred hush to the magnificence of the space.At the arched entrance beneath the crest of the Crescent Moon, Alpha Reid stood tall in a dark, ceremonial coat lined with silver embroidery. Beside him, Luna Maeve wore a flowing gown of midnight blue, the fabric catching the light like liquid stars. Her long auburn hair was pinned back with silver combs shaped like crescent moons, echoing the pack’s symbol and legacy.Reid adjusted the cuff of his jacket, casting a sweeping glance across the ballroom. His normally impassive face showed a rare flicker of uncertainty.“They’re all coming,” he said, his voice low but edged with tension. “Alph

PRESENT TIME (SOPHIE AND DANIELLA)Life didn’t snap back to normal the moment they walked through the front door, but little by little, Sophie and Daniella found their rhythm again.The mornings, once quiet and still, began with the familiar hum of the kettle and the comforting scent of chamomile and cinnamon. Daniella would wake before Sophie, padding through the house in her slippers, letting the silence settle around her. It helped her breathe—helped her remind herself that they were safe now.Sophie, once hesitant to leave her mother’s side even for a minute, slowly began venturing back into her own room, her laughter gradually returning. At first, she trailed behind Daniella like a shadow—silent, watchful—but eventually, she returned to her books, her sketches, the odd habit of humming while brushing her hair.They kept things simple in those first few weeks. Grocery runs were done together, hand in hand. They cooked meals with music playing in the background—sometimes jazz, some

Alpha Czar sat in his high-backed leather chair, a sealed ivory envelope resting in his palm. His fingers traced the wax seal embossed with the sigil of the Riverdale Pack—a howling wolf curled beneath a crescent moon. The letter had arrived just before dawn, hand-delivered by a warrior.Curiosity had flickered in his chest when he first opened it. Now, as his eyes scanned the invitation again, something strange unfurled in his chest—something old and aching.Together with their families, Alpha Dalton of the Riverdale Pack and Daniella Thornhill cordially invite Alpha Czar of the Emerald Pack to celebrate their union in marriage. The ceremony will be held under the full moon on the 14th of August, at twilight, in the sacred glade of Riverdale. A reception will follow under the stars. Your presence would honor us.Czar read it twice. Then a third time. He had received a personal invite, out of respect and a longstanding alliance with Alpha Reid, Dalton’s father.As his eyes

FIVE YEARS AFTER HIS LOSSAlpha Czar stood at the edge of the valley with his hands clasped behind his back. The scent of pine and frost filled his lungs, but it brought no comfort—not tonight. Not after all this time.He had come here on the same night every year for the past five years. A ritual of sorts. A silent vigil in the hope that the wind would change, that the earth would stir and return what had been stolen from him.His mate. His daughter.The memory still struck him with sharp, unforgiving clarity. One moment he had held her in his arms, his tiny daughter wrapped in her mother’s scent, warm and cooing softly against his chest. The next, there had been chaos—blood everywhere, screams in the darkness, and an aching silence that had never truly left him.He had searched every region, crossed every territory, called in every favour he was owed. Elders, seers, witches—he had begged them all. But each trail ran cold. And now… he was done.“I can’t do this anymore,” Czar murmure

The first thing Daniella remembered was warmth.After weeks—perhaps months, she couldn’t be sure—of cold stone, rough rope, hunger, and fear so constant it felt like a part of her skin, the heat of the blanket around her was a shock. Her eyelids fluttered as light seeped through, soft and golden, nothing like the oppressive dimness of the place she’d been held. For a moment, she didn’t move. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes, the illusion would shatter and she would find herself back in that place again, chained to fear.But then came the sound of gentle voices—real voices, not threats or barked orders. The lilt of care, the rhythm of kindness. And something else… laughter. Childish, light, and echoing through walls that didn’t drip with damp or desperation.Daniella's eyes snapped open.She sat up too quickly, and her ribs protested with a sharp ache. The pain was grounding, almost reassuring. She was real. Alive.The room was simple, but clean and cozy. Pale cream walls, a

Elizabeth’s breath came in shallow gasps, her body slack against the cruel embrace of the experimental chair. Straps bit into her raw skin, long since chafed and torn, yet she no longer felt the pain. Her nerves had dulled, her senses numbed. She was more spirit than flesh now, drifting between worlds, untethered.Her head lolled to one side, dark strands of matted hair clinging to her sweat-soaked skin. Her once vibrant eyes, those fiery defiant eyes that had once shown with life and love, now stared at the ceiling—glassy, distant, the fight flickering out like the last glow of an oil lamp. There was no screaming anymore, no struggling. They had taken everything from her—her strength, her dignity, her voice.Yet within the silence, her mind slipped somewhere far from the sterile hell around her.She was eight again.The scent of wildflowers filled her nose, and golden sunlight poured through the trees of the glen behind her childhood home. Her mother laughed—a light, airy sound that

The cell was always cold.No matter how long Elizabeth stayed there—days, weeks, years perhaps—her bones never grew used to the damp chill that seemed to cling to her skin like a second layer. The air was thick with mildew and rot, and the stone walls wept with condensation. The silence, when it fell, was almost worse than the screams that came before.She heard the iron door screech open again, and her blood ran colder.“No,” she whispered, her body trembling already from the day before. “Please—please not again.”Heavy boots approached. A gloved hand reached down and grabbed her by the arm—an arm so bruised and battered it barely felt like her own anymore—and dragged her out. She cried out as her knees scraped the rough stone floor.The guards always ignored her pleas.Elizabeth was hauled into the chamber again—the room that smelled of blood, fire, and wet leather. Chains hung from the ceiling like spiders waiting to pounce. A rusted grate in the floor whispered of what had already

The cell door creaked open with a groan that echoed through the narrow corridor, the iron hinges protesting the movement. Arya stepped out, her heeled boots clicking sharply against the damp stone floor. Her posture was elegant, commanding—her chin tilted ever so slightly upwards in that familiar way that made her seem like royalty in a place that reeked of rot and fear.She turned to the guards, her lips curling into a tight smile.“Lock the cell,” she ordered coolly without glancing back. “I don’t want any accidents.”The guards nodded silently and pushed the thick iron door shut with a deep metallic clang. One of them turned the key with a rough twist, and the deadbolt snapped into place with finality. Arya stood still for a moment, watching them with feigned patience, her hands clasped lightly behind her back.“The trial is scheduled, correct?” Arya asked in a silk-smooth tone, as if she were inquiring about afternoon tea, not the brutal torment of another living being.“Yes, my
