All Chapters of Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kaliyah's POVMemories of how the previous Kaliyah had crushed on Calum from afar resurfaced, and I began to look at the hot warrior trainer before me in a different way.Calum looked between the two of us with an irritated expression. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, fighting each other like a couple of pups in training?”Kovu opened his mouth to retort, but Calum cut him off with a sharp gesture. “Don’t even start with me, Kovu. You think you can pull this stunt and get away with it? If I catch you doing this again, I'll report you to your father, the Alpha. See how much you like that.”Kovu’s jaw clenched, and his fists tightened, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. The threat of being reported to his father seemed to be enough of a deterrent, and Calum looked like someone who would follow through on his threats.“And you!” He turned to me, locking his yellow eyes on mine.“And me? He’s the one who tried to slash my head off,” I pouted, lips pursed in complaint.“Yes,

Kovu's POV He continued, “Now, to the matter at hand—Asterion Maverick. The new Alpha of the Eldrath pack has proven to be a ruthless adversary. He’s been recruiting rogues, swelling his numbers. As of our latest intelligence, his forces are nearing ten thousand and rising. This is no ordinary enemy we face.” “Rogues aren’t ones to be controlled. They are feral, uncontrollable beasts,” one of the generals, Viktor, added. “Yet Asterion commands them with an iron fist. We suspect he’s using some form of dark magic to bind them to his will.” A deafening silence descended on the meeting hall when the words “dark magic” were spoken. It was a serious taboo in the packs to use or even consider the use of dark magic. The only race that relished the use of dark magic and used it without abandon was the shamans. “Uhm… I have something to say.” Kaliyah cleared her throat and raised her hand, seeking permission to speak. “You may proceed,” my father granted her the floor. “Wh… when I f

Kaliyah’s POV Alpha Torino rose from his seat and swept his gaze across the room. The generals, who had been watching the exchange with bated breath, remained silent as they waited for his decision. Even Akira had surprisingly fallen silent. Torino’s gaze landed on me, and his eyes softened a bit before he opened his mouth to pass his verdict. “Kaliyah,” he began, “I acknowledge your passion, your drive to end Asterion’s reign. This fight is obviously personal to you; it's gone beyond a sense of duty or honor. It's about vengeance.” He paused, and I held my breath, my heart pounding against my ribcage as I waited for his next words. I had already decided to take matters into my own hands in case he rejected me, but still, his acceptance would make things really easy for me. “But,” his tone turned sterner, “Asterion is no ordinary enemy. He is a hybrid, a force of destruction, a beast who has taken countless lives in his quest for power. I cannot, in good conscience, allow you

Kaliyah's POV“Too slow,” Calum sneered, sidestepping my attack with ease and countering with a vicious jab to my ribs. The impact was akin to being struck by a carriage, and I grunted in pain, staggering back and barely managing to keep my footing.Before I could recover and lunge at him again, he was on me. His movements were as fluid as a river as he danced around me, landing blows and dodging my every attempt to counter. It was either he knew exactly what I was going to do before I even did it, or I was just too slow.“Urghh,” I grunted as I tried to channel my mana into a more focused attack, recalling a technique from the previous Kaliyah's memories—an explosive burst of speed combined with a mana-infused claw strike. I launched myself at Calum, trying to execute the technique, but the energy scattered, slipping out of my control like sand through my fingers.I gritted my teeth and landed a punch against Calum's shoulder. To my utmost dismay, it did little more than push him bac

Kovu's POVI exhaled deeply, trying to steady my nerves as I reached out to Kyrax. We had done this countless times before, merging our minds and bodies until our energies flowed in perfect harmony. I knew this stage well—perhaps too well. It had become almost second nature to us.*Ready?* I asked, though I already knew his answer.*Always,* Kyrax growled in response.I closed my eyes and centered myself as I began the process. My breathing slowed, and I could feel the mana around us as I synchronized with Kyrax. Our spirits aligned, and our thoughts became one.The process was going smoothly, but just as we were about to fully merge, a sudden jolt tore through the connection. It was as if something had slammed into us from the inside, throwing us into chaos.*What the…* I barely had time to react before the backlash hit. Pain like never before crashed through me, searing every nerve, every muscle, every bone in my body. It was as if I was being reduced to atoms and reconstructed agai
