The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 43: Shadows of uncertainty
RaelynnThe next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. I groggily reached for it, seeing a text from Alison.“Hey Rae, just wanted to check in. How’s everything at home?”I smiled, grateful for her thoughtfulness. “Hey, Ali. It’s…complicated. I didn’t go to my parents’ house as I planned. My adoptive father, Valentine, called me to stay with him instead.”“Wow, that’s unexpected. How come?”“He said something about tradition, but I don't believe that. Something else must be up, I will get to know about it later. When I got here, no one was home. It was just me.”“That’s a lot to deal with. Are you okay?”“Yeah, just trying to process everything. What about you? How’s your coven?”“Busy as ever. We’re gearing up for our summer activities,” Alison replied. “It’s going to be a full schedule. I wish you could join us.”“When do they start?”“Next week. We’re doing a lot of interesting rituals and spells. Maybe you can join us for a few of them?”“Are only witches invited?”
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 44: Strategies and secrets
Alpha LorenzoThe atmosphere in my office was thick with tension as Conan and I began dissecting the information we’d just received from the spy.The revelation that the leader of the rogue witches was not a witch, was a game changer, and we needed to adjust our strategies accordingly.“We need to consider every possible angle,” Conan said, pacing the room. “If she’s not a witch, she could be using them for her own purposes. We have to figure out what those purposes are.”I nodded, my mind racing. “We should look into any alliances she might have formed. She might be leveraging other supernatural beings besides witches.”Conan paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face. “Do you think she could be working with rogues from other species? Maybe vampires or other werewolves?”“It’s possible,” I replied. “But we don’t have any concrete evidence. We need to gather more intel.”“Agreed,” Conan said, leaning against my desk. “What about increasing our patrols and surveillance? We can’t affor
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 45: Morning Revelations
Alpha LorenzoI woke up with a start, the dim light of dawn creeping through the windows. My heart skipped a beat as I glanced at my phone and saw several missed calls from Raelynn.The sight of her name on my screen sent a jolt of shock and excitement through me.She reached out to me, finally. I wanted to call her back immediately, but the time was barely past 3 am."Raelynn called," I whispered to myself, feeling a surge of joy.My wolf, Max, stirred within me. "She called us, Lorenzo. Call her back!""It's too early," I reasoned, though my fingers itched to dial her number. "I don't want to wake her.""She called first," Max argued. "She must want to talk."I chuckled. "Patience, Max. We’ll call her at a more reasonable hour.""Fine," he huffed, but I could feel his excitement mirroring mine. "But don't wait too long."With a smile on my face, I slid out of bed, eager to start my day.I laced up my running shoes and headed out for my morning run around the territory. The crisp mor
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 46: Unveiling Threats
Alpha LorenzoAs I settled into the conference room, my mind was racing with the events of the morning. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm within me.Conan sat across from me, his eyes reflecting the same tension I felt. Beside him, Queen Xylie exuded an aura of calm authority. Her piercing green eyes focused on me as she began the conversation."Alpha Lorenzo," she started, her voice steady and commanding, "How valid is your information about the rogue witch camp?"I leaned forward, resting my arms on the table. "The information is from a very reliable source," I replied, meeting her gaze. "However, I can't disclose who that source is."Queen Xylie nodded, her expression thoughtful. "I see. It's troubling that I have been ignorant about the rogue witches' activities for so long. It seems I'll need to recruit new spies; the ones I sent have proven to be incompetent.""We need a solid plan to address this new development," Conan interjected, his voice serious. "Perhaps we s
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 47: Practice my powers
RaelynnThe first few days of my holiday was blurred boredom and routine.Valentine, my adoptive father, was a will-o'-the-wisp, and Alexis was still MIA.There was an almost deadly silence in the manor, allowing me to wander through its large, resounding halls for all I was worth. It was only in the library that I found comfort, a sort of solace that kept at bay in loneliness.It was in that, with the turn of pages of a book, I could lose myself between the pages and forget, even if just for a moment, the complex web of my life.Today opened like each of the rest days: the house was quiet, and I was looking for another book to pass the time with.I ran my fingers along the spines of all the books on the shelves, and one leather-bound volume seemed out of place. I pulled it out; it was a book about hybrids. Its spine was cracked and its pages were frayed from having been read so many times before.I went to the table of contents, and my eyes grew wide with chapters entitled, "History
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 48: Awakening of powers
RaelynnWhen I returned to the manor, I headed straight to my room and retrieved the book on hybrids. Lynn was eager to begin, her excitement palpable."Let's start with something simple," she suggested. "Maybe the heightened senses?"I nodded, focusing on my surroundings. Slowly, I began to extend my awareness, trying to pick up on sounds, scents, and sights that were normally beyond my reach.It was difficult at first, but with Lynn's guidance, I started to notice subtle changes in the air, the faintest of sounds, and the most delicate of scents.As I practiced, the manor came alive in new ways. I could hear the faint rustle of leaves outside my window, the distant hum of the city, and even the soft breathing of other inhabitants in the house.Each small success fueled my determination to master my abilities. Over the next few days, I continued to practice, alternating between reading the book and experimenting with different powers.One afternoon, while focusing on my heightened se
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 49: Dawn of war I
Alpha LorenzoI stood on the edge of the training grounds, watching the warriors spar under the watchful eye of Garrick, the pack's witch trainer.The air was heavy with the sound of swords clashing and the smell of sweat blending with the dew of morning.Beside me., Conan observed the training with a critical eye. "Garrick's been pushing them hard," he commented, his voice low. "They're improving.""They need to be ready," I replied, my tone firm. "The witches have been getting bolder. We cannot afford to be unprepared.” Conan nodded, his gaze shifting to a pair of young warriors engaged in a fierce sparring session. “They're not there yet, but they're getting close."My phone buzzed in my pocket just as I opened my mouth to reply. I pulled it out, glancing at the screen. The caller ID read "Shadow." My heart quickened. Shadow only called when there was something urgent."Shadow," I answered, stepping away from Conan to ensure privacy. "What's going on?""The rogue witches," came t
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 50: Dawn of war II
Alpha LorenzoAs dawn approached, the first rays of sunlight breaking through the darkness, I stood on the balcony once more.The pack house was now quiet, with the sounds of the battle replaced by the soft murmurs of those tending to the injured and preparing for the next assault.Queen Xylie joined me, her expression contemplative. "You fought well tonight, Lorenzo," she said."So did you," I replied, offering her a small smile. "Without your assistance, we would not have succeeded.”She nodded, her eyes distant. "We have just just begun. The rogue witches will not be easily defeated.”"I know," I said, my voice firm. "But we'll be ready for them."Queen Xylie placed a hand on my shoulder, her grip strong and reassuring. "We'll get through this, Lorenzo. Together."I stayed on the balcony, my mind racing, as she went off to join the others. I knew the rogue witches would come back even stronger than before; they had been a formidable foe.But we were ready. Our pack's strength and r

The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Epilogue
RaelynnThe sun shone through the thick velvet curtains of our room and illuminated everything with a warm, golden light. The warmth of it kissed my skin, reminding me that this was no dream...this was my reality.A reality that only a few years ago, seemed like a world impossible to conceive, completely shattered into pieces that I would never be able to pick up. Yet here I am, so much stronger and smarter and more at peace than I have ever been in my life.As I lay in bed, listening to the soft rustling of the leaves outside and the distant chirping of birds welcoming the new day, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come. The memories of my past, once sharp and painful, now seemed like faded shadows in the back of my mind.The pain of loss and betrayal, the paralyzing fear that I experienced during those days of darkness seemed like a dream…a nightmare that I had finally woken up from.My life had changed so much since those days. I thought of the darkness that had so nearly
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 204: The consequences
Alpha LorenzoI wait outside the door to the dungeon the cold stone walls closing in around me. My hear beats faster the rage just below the surface.I need to do this. For Raelynn. For my pack. For all those who have been tormented by the life of valentine and his warped disciples.The door squeaks and I enter the somewhat dark hallway. It is damp and musty in there, with the drip of water bouncing off the walls.The guards nod their heads to me, with a very serious look on their faces. They know why I’m here. They know what I’m about to do.Valentine's cell is all the way at the end of the dungeon, away from all the others. I would have wanted him alone, removed from the rest of his nasty little gang. The man deserves no comfort, no company. Not after everything he’s done.I stand before his cell holding the cold iron bars. Valentine sits in there, perched on a little bench with his hands cuffed together in front of him.The look of pride and arrogance is no longer there, but instea
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 203: Raelynn is safe
Alpha LorenzoWe step outside of the building and the heat from the fire engulfs us, and at that moment, I feel Raelynn's body drop from my arms. She's out of breath, out of energy, and I pick her up and carry her the remainder of the way.“Conan, take care of Valentine and his scientists, I shout over my shoulder as we make our way to the waiting SUVs. “Round them all up. No one gets away.”Conan nods, his expression grim. “You got it, Alpha. We’ll make sure they pay for what they’ve done.”I nod, my focus on Raelynn as I lay her gently in the back seat of one of the SUVs. She’s unconscious, her breathing shallow, and I feel a surge of panic. I can’t lose her. Not now.“Go! I shout to the driver, and the SUV speeds away from the burning building, the flames reflected in the rearview mirror. I cradle Raelynn in my arms, my heart beating hard against my chest.“We’re almost there, I whisper, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Just hold on a little longer, love. You’re going to b
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 202: Resurgence
Alpha LorenzoSo I pound my fist on the aluminum door as hard as I can, and I keep pounding and the door starts to cave in. Every hit vibrates up my arm, but I bite down on my tongue and continue. Raelynn is on the other side. I can feel her presence through our bond, faint but unmistakable.My entire body is on fire from the exertion, beads of sweat drip from my face into my eyes, but I will not give up. I can’t. Not when I’m this close. The dent in the door is minor, almost unnoticeable, but it is there. So I put all of my strength, and my anger, and my hopelessness into one last punch and I hope that it is.Then, without warning, a rush of warmth washes over the door. I yank my hand back, startled. The metal is red hot and I have to back up so I don't get burnt.I stare in disbelief as fire dances around the border of the door and the metal contorts and melts like some unseen force is wrenching it asunder.“What the hell…” I mutter, my eyes wide. This isn’t just fire; it’s somethin
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 201: The escape
RaelynnI’ ve been planning this for weeks. The smallest mistakes could cost me everything, so I’ve waited, watching, studying every guard’s routine. I’ve observed their movements, noted their shifts, even the way they carry themselves when they think no one is looking.One guard, in particular, caught my eye…small, unassuming, always on edge as if the very walls were closing in on him. I could see it in his eyes, the fear, the sweat above his brow whenever he was around me. And that made him my target.Well, this morning he was on walking post by my cell and I just knew it was time. He did not even realize how easily he was being played with.The shadows that had been my friends in darkness reached out to take his thoughts, pushing his focus away. A ripple of my fingers and the shadows told him of distant cares and his mind floated just enough for me to move.I moved silently, my fingers deft and quick, slipping into his pocket as he turned away. The cold metal of the key against my
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 200: The hunt
Alpha LorenzoI can't remember the last time I was this tense. The past few months have been a nightmare, each day worse than the one before. I can barely sleep, my thoughts constantly consumed by Raelynn. My mate. My Luna. She’s out there, somewhere, suffering God knows what, and it’s my fault. I let her down, failed to protect her. And now, I’m desperate. Desperate to make things right, to find her, to bring her home. I’ve spent every waking moment planning, strategizing, preparing for this. There’s no room for error. Not this time.We’re in the war room, a dimly lit space in the pack house that’s become our headquarters for this mission. Conan, Alison, Ashley, and I are huddled around a large table, a detailed map of the Dawn Scientific Institute for Research spread out before us. The DSIR is an imposing fortress, heavily guarded, and getting in won’t be easy. But we have no choice. Raelynn is in there. I can feel it in my bones. “Alright,” I say, my voice steady but hard. “We

The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 198: Shadows of revenge
RaelynnDarkness. It has been my constant companion for what feels like an eternity. My sense of time in this cold, damp cell is lost, days and nights running together in one continuous void of nothingness.I have no idea how long it’s been since I was tossed into this hell, since I was deprived of my dignity and my wolf. I don’t even know if it matters anymore. This place, this emptiness, it consumes you.I resemble now and again when the guards bring out their needles I test myself to see if I can remember what I was like before all this. I try to remember what it felt like to be free, to be whole.But those memories are as fragments of a dream. They are so beautiful and so elusive, and they dissolve before I can catch them. I have nothing but the pain to grasp on to. It’s the only thing that feels real anymore.I roll over on the cold floor and the chains that bind my wrists and ankles rattle. My body hurts in places I never knew I had.They don't feed me very much. Enough to keep
The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate Chapter 197: The frantic search
Alpha LorenzoIt's been a week since Alexis was incarcerated and I discovered the truth. A full week of searching and scouring every inch of our territory, and then some. The feeling of desperation claws at my insides, a gnawing ache that won’t go away no matter how many leads we chase, no matter how many faces I growl at in frustration. Every day without her feels like an eternity, every moment a fresh wound reopening. Max is restless, prowling just beneath the surface, ready to break free and tear apart anyone who gets in my way.I shouldn’t be here, pacing in my study with my phone clenched in my hand. I should be out there, tracking her down myself. But even alphas have duties, responsibilities, and meetings they can’t avoid. Today, it’s the damn council meeting, and if I don’t show up, there’ll be more questions than I’m prepared to answer. I need to keep up appearances. I need to make them believe everything is fine, that my world isn’t shattering around me piece by piece.“E
