All Chapters of The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Woo! I see someone is harnessing their magic! Well done!" Cleo cackles as Selene frees Drogo from his air cage. "I am sure we will have company soon.""It's just you and me, Cleo." Selene focuses on her magic, ready for the dark witch attacks. "Let's end this dance, shall we?" Cleo cruelly smirks. "I'm going to enjoy slowly killing you, hybrid. I will drain the magic from your body until you are begging me for relief. I won't grant it then; I will wait until you are on the cusp of hope as your loved ones arrive, and then will I grant you death."  Selene grimaces. "You really have thought my demise through, eh Cleo? I hope to shatter your dreams.." Selene readies a disarming spell, the words on the tip of her tongue. But, before she can recite the incantation, Grace's voice gives her pau

Days. It had been days since the pup's arrival, and things had been a living hell for Selene. Her beautiful daughter was having complications due to the magic residue from forcing her out of the womb, and the search for Jones had drawn no answers. Liam and Toby had joined the search initially but were called back to the pack land when a group of rogues attacked. Selene's family couldn't come to the castle due to the restlessness of the Thorne Vampires, some even protesting the non-vampire queen. Luke had been busy with paperwork and trying to fight the vampires that wished his mate harm. In short, Selene was alone once more, unable to run with her wolf or see her best friend. Speaking of Morgan, he had been unavailable the last week. Regardless of how many times Selene sent one of her vampire guards to check on him, they always returned with the same answer: he is gone. Selene wished she could reach out to Grace, but her mentor had shut herself in the white room with Cleo to protect

The group enters Luke's room ten minutes after Selene gets the message. At the front of the group are Morgan, Liam, and Toby, eyes glazed over from emotions as they gaze on the newborn pup. "Morgan.." Tears fall at the sight of her best friend. He runs to her in a choked sob, burying his face in her stomach. "Selene." He cries. "Thank you, my wonderful bestie, for bringing our daughter into the world."Luke moves away from the new parents, begrudgingly giving them space. He is conflicted about Selene and Morgan's relationship. Still, it led to the beautiful girl in Selene's arms, so he adjusted. "Do you want to hold her?" Selene holds out the baby to Morgan. He nods rapidly, gently taking the tiny being into his arms. "Hi, angel." He gently kisses the pup's head, watching as the baby coos at the affection.

The Day of Grace's BirthCeltic Faerie Realm- Queen's Library. Your Majesty!" Nathaniel almost collapses into Esther's desk. Esther raises a brow at the frantic male. "What is it, Nathaniel? I'm busy sorting through diplomatic relations.""It's Selene. She went into labor!" Nathaniel clutches his chest and collapses on a chair. He was not as spry as he was in his youthful days. Blame it on raising a headstrong girl or that he didn't have much room to roam due to the constricting lands on Gabriel Island. Esther's brows raise to her hairline. "That is impossible! She isn't due for another month.""Perhaps she is early? Either way, I must go, Esther. I need to go to the waterfall and alert Morgan. I understand he wanted privacy with hi

Cleo was biding her time. When she was first locked in purgatory with her sister, she had nothing, the white room that was her prison shut her magic out, rendering her useless and weak. The one small comfort she had was to see her sister's spirit slowly wither away from loneliness. At some point during their confinement, a dehman had stumbled on their occupied white room. The demon was taken by Cleo's enchanting beauty and helped her regain her strength. In two years, Cleo managed to escape her purgatory and live comfortably with the demon shifter to become her lover. She took delight in torturing souls until they were wisps, then she would collect their remaining essence- food for her fractured magic.Today was no different. Cleo had spent the better part of it torturing souls. Although her demon lover had warned her not to-she ignored him. The power from causing souls misery was too powerful for her to ignore. Once she finished a vampire soul, she set off for a particular w
