All Chapters of Bloodmoon & Incubi Anthology: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The chapters will be for the short story The Hybrid's Rogue from this point forward. River Carlisle: The only downside to moving across the country was leaving Leo. It hurt so much to leave them behind. I wanted them to come with us, but as mom pointed out, we couldn’t simply take them from their parents. Even if their parents are total dicks. Now Leo has run away from home. They’re out there alone. I need to find them before their parents or possibly something worse does. Leo Hanley: When I say I’ve had it “up to here” with my parents, I’m reaching above my head to demonstrate. I’m drowning in their controlling bullshit. I know our pack tends to be more purist about almost everything. But enough is enough. They don’t love me. They love control. And now that I’m sixteen, they think they can control who my mate is? Hell no. That’s why I ran to the only person I knew who loved me for me… River.

I don’t know what’s been going on with Leo recently. We’ve still been talking, but I can tell something is up. There’s something they aren’t saying. And I’m worried about them. I know what kind of wackos their parents are. Close-minded control freak fuck-nuggets. So I can only assume what they aren’t telling me is something about their parents. That, of course, only makes me worry more. I remember these pricks grounded Leo for a month because they cut their BANGS! Leo cut their bangs and acted like Leo wiped their ass with the original copy of the Declaration of Independence. So whatever Leo is keeping from me could be bad. Would they hurt Leo? I don’t want to believe Leo’s parents would stoop to physical abuse. It’s bad enough that they abuse them psychologically. “Whoa! River, turn down the light show! We’re not using powers. This is hand-to-hand combat.” David commanded as I suddenly realized I was being put into a full nelson to try and subdue me. My entire body was glowing like

I’m seriously freaking out. It’s been over twenty-four hours since I last talked to Leo. It may sound like something minor to you, but it’s not to me. Leo last texted me that they were being forced to attend the local fireworks display for New Year with their douchey family. That was it. Radio silence ever since. I tried to call and text them at midnight on the east coast to wish them a happy New Year. Leo didn’t answer my call, and my text was left unseen. I may be coming off as a total creep, but I’ve sent multiple texts, voice mails, and emails, not to mention DMs on various social media. None of them have gotten me an answer. Right now, my gut is telling me something is seriously wrong. Leo would never ignore me. At least not willingly. Their parents must have done something like maybe they took Leo’s phone and computer away. I wouldn’t put it past them. Leo’s parents suck donkey balls, but this doesn’t feel like that. Something is wrong. “Mom, please call them. Call Leo’s paren

ROAD TRIP!! The last time I was on a road trip was when we moved here. And then it was a long ass trip with my mom and twin. It was so BORING and as excited as I was about moving, I was still broken hearted that I was leaving Leo behind. This time I’m in a jeep with David and dad, heading to find Leo. Miles seems to tick by in a blink as I’m equally eager and anxious about reaching my Bunno. I swear to whoever is listening that if something happens to Leo, like if they get hurt, I am ripping throats, starting with their parents. “Okay… I’m going to take control of my radio.” David sighed, turning the radio down as it blared Skrillex’s Squad Out from my playlist. “But you said I could DJ on our road trip.” I pouted. If I thought anyone would complain about my choice of music and the volume, it would be Dad. I’ve seen his records. Yes, I mean records. He has vinyl, which would be cool if he had better taste. I like his Nirvana records, but that’s about it. I thought David would be

The Hybrid's Rouge Fans, I rarely do this. But for the moment, I will be taking a short break from updating the short story The Hybrid's Rogue. As you may already know, I have been balancing writing three stories simultaneously. I am nearing the end of my book The Hunted Hunter, which has basically taken over my brain. I cannot vibe with my other stories to write new chapters and can't force myself to write as it's honestly not my style. So until either I complete The Hunted Hunter or my brain can once again switch gears to other books, this story will be on hold. Thanks for understanding! River and Leo will return soon, and we will find out how they get to their inevitable HEA together. Author Bryant
