All Chapters of The Hybrid Prince's Pursued Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

**Liam's POV**It's now five to seven in the morning, the fifth time looking at my watch anxiously, while I am waiting for my employee. My fingernails in turn are jitterily striking the polished surface of my antique mahogany desk. All my emotions are jumbled-up fragments consisting of only excitement and dread. I can't wait to see her and finally have some alone time with her! Oh, but why can't I shake off this feeling of unease? Her serious expression yesterday, still very fresh in my mind's eye, has had me on edge up until now. I really hope nothing's wrong.Laura has been working at the Snug Bistro for five months as a waitress, but she is not just any regular employee, she is my fated, my beloved mate. Alas, she would not know this, because she is a human. What makes things worse, my mate is currently in a relationship with another. Oh, how I wish I'd met her first. I would have courted her like any mortal man would and let her love for me develop at a normal pace. I'd love and t

"What a fucking dick!" Bethany exclaimed in pure disgust and anger."Wow, I can't believe you stayed with him all those months. You should have told me, sweets. I could have helped you and been there for you when you needed someone to lean on," Jacob said, looking at me with sympathy."Thanks, guys, but really I am fine and happy it’s all over. On a positive note, I phoned some estate agents and Liam said I can take off tomorrow to view them.""What about tonight? You seriously not going to sleep there in the dirty ogre's lair?" Bethany asked anxiously while Jacob nodded with a worried expression."Where should I go? I don't have much of a choice; I'll be fine—""I don't think that's a good idea,’ Bethany interjected. “Oops, I see some customers at the coffee bar. I'll be back soon," she added, then rushed off."Come stay at my place," Jacob insisted. "I know Jerry won't mind and if he does, I'll kick him out," he laughed.I gave a grateful smile, but, I could not inconvenience my fri

So today was a bit of a depressing day. I viewed six apartments, but three of them were way out of my budget! The decent-priced ones had a roommate, but being with Michael for so long, I only wished for solitude. It was now half past three, and I was exhausted. Before I made my way back to Jacob and Jerry's place, I quickly headed to the shops and bought myself an ice cream.Once I reached the apartment and closed the door, I released a frustrated sigh. "Your ice cream can't be that bad?" asked a humoured voice.I got a fright; I was completely unaware Jerry would be here. "No, this was purchased to make my dreary day less disappointing," I said and tried to muster a laugh, attempting to hide my surprise."That bad, huh?" he asked lazily with his hands behind his head. He was sitting by the kitchen counter."You have no idea," I sighed, making my way to sit across from him, now giving my dripping frozen treat much-needed attention. I was so preoccupied, that I didn't pay attention to

I was shocked; he sounded so upset. Was it because I went to Jerry's show without inviting him? It wasn't my place to do so, but I can't dwell on petty shit. Wait— could it be because I slept in Jerry's bed? Shit, I need to get cleaned up and rush to work and tell him everything. I started running at that thought. Once I reached the apartment, the door swung open, revealing Jerry with his unnerving stare. The last fucking person I wanted to see. "Sweetheart, what a surprise; finished work already?" he asked lazily as he leaned against the doorpost, gazing at me amorously. My rage got the better of me, and I aggressively approached him with my finger in his face. I asked with absolute malice while tears ran down my cheeks, "What the fuck did you do to me yesterday?!" With the speed of a viper, Jerry seized my hand and dragged me into the building, quickly shutting the door. I yelped, trying to shove him away from me, though he speedily trapped me in his arms. As I took a breath to

**Liam’s POV**I’m sitting in my office waiting for Jacob. I summoned him because I needed to know what happened to Laura. I’m on edge and I know something was not right. I had felt it since last night at first joy followed by complete pleasure and bliss then after eleven, it was as though I was enveloped in absolute dread. I could not sleep at all and today an undeniable mixture of despair and terror invaded my heart. My mate was hurting and I needed answers, if not I will tear this whole place upside down like a fucking mindless animal. My wolf was ready to snap, Krait was overly quiet and Giaan tried to keep Ozouf calm. He was helping me as well, but I am not sure how much longer I could keep my composure.Jacob entered the office looking bitter, I have no idea what happened, but I fucking swear if he tried anything with her I am going to end him. I know he has a crush on her, but he always respected Laura. I was somewhat hesitant when she told me she was going to stay with him, bu
