All Chapters of THE HYBRID AND THE ROGUE : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lyra's POVMy heartbeat had accelerated as soon I heard that bold declaration from Beatrice. If she had any idea of what she was suggesting, she wouldn't even have the thought in the first place. In the Green Arrow Pack, aiding a criminal to escape signified death and I was sure the same consequence applied to Mason. "No," I replied adamantly. This was no child's play or a random adventure story that she could tell later. If she was caught, she would be killed. I had heard the excitement and confidence that came with the declaration. Meleon probably heard it too but he didn't make any coherent sounds apart from his ragged breathing. Was he in pain?"I do not agree with your rejection, my lady." Beatrice gripped the iron bars. "You asked me to earn your forgiveness, was that a lie?""A lie? That's a waste of strength. I've never lied to any of you in this rogue pack but you know what? I've been lied to, deceived and probably made fun of," I held my chest as the influx of emotions lef

Chapter 13 – An Added HelperMeleon's POVLyra had been in the middle of teaching me how to break my wrists and get out of my chains when the door burst wide open. Bloody hell, what was the rush? Did the person want to break the door down? Not that it wouldn't be a good thing considering how dark the dungeon was but still, it was cold enough at night with the door closed. It would be a disaster with the door wide open. The only way to keep warm would be to shift and sleep in our wolf form. The thought of seeing Lyra in her wolf form made me smile briefly. I imagine she'd be small and probably have the same fur colour as her hair - black."Lyra?" A strange voice called.I could see the woman squinting her eyes, trying to make out the figures in the dark. She was old. She had grey hairs on her head mixed in with black. There were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Her face squeezed the more she narrowed her eyes. The woman was panting. Had she run here?"Cara?"I watched Lyra stand up

Lyra's POVLooking up at the sky, amongst the swaying grasslike crops, I waited patiently for Beatrice and Meleon. I had promised to get him out of that dungeon and that promise was coming to pass. My wolf howled in the ecstatic freedom we were yet to experience and I made sure it stayed an internal howl. Shifting would not do me much good in my deteriorated state. I had left a bit of the makeup on my face, just so I wouldn't appear deathly pale after running. That could end up frightening Beatrice and goddess knows I wasn't ready for such a situation. We didn't make use of Beatrice's plan because Cara helped us. It was our added advantage and yet, I didn't feel too good. Leaving her behind might kill her but she had so adamantly refused to leave this goddess forsaken place with us. She had to stay and distract Mason which had been the original plan. Still, Beatrice couldn't stay anymore. She had been the only one Mason had told of my imprisonment in the dungeon which was why she cou

Chapter 17 - Vampire tales LYRA'S POVBeatrice kept holding my arm and walking beside me the farther we got from Mason's pack. We were behind Mele- Lumi... Right. We made sure not to get too close to him. Although something told me if he wanted to kill us, the distance we put between ourselves wouldn't help our case at all. I saw how fast he had moved when he held my neck. There was no way we'd escape alive if he decided he wanted a snack. "I've never seen one before," Beatrice whispered into my ears as she let out a shuddering breath. The night was cold and the moon was bright. We could see everything around us but the silvery light rays gave everything an eerie look. "What?" I frowned at her as she nodded at Lumi who was walking slowly. His hands were crossed behind his back and his steps were light as he looked around the forest as though we were all taking a pleasure stroll. The cold didn't seem to affect him one bit."Him. I've only read about vampires. I never thought I'd mee

Chapter 19 - TailedLumi's POVThe electric feeling I had when I had held Lyra's neck at the wheat field some nights ago had not been a mistake. We had a connection which felt special. One that allowed me to accept her jealousy with an open mind. It also heightened my urge to protect her...while giving her more reasons to be jealous so she could keep doing... what she did before."I'm tired." Beatrice complained and I couldn't blame her. We haven't rested properly. My shuffling about last night had kept Lyra on edge. As a formerly trained Beta, she was on high alert just like me.We were being watched...The journey we had started on after our escape was beginning to look tiring. I enjoyed the quiet moments more because the sound of their heartbeats were loudest in those moments. I would stay awake listening while on the lookout. "We'll rest soon, it's almost noon.""We've been walking for four days since we left the rogue king's pack," Beatrice whined again. Honestly, I never regret
