The Hybrid Luna 28
CALIFF “I’m just connecting the dots. I mean, come on. Didn’t ever cross your mind the possibility?” “That’s fucking absurd.” I gritted my teeth in enraged. I couldn’t believe Shadow, of all people, was accusing Calder of being a murderous rogue. What was his angle? Why was he killing random people? Culling the herd? “I’m not accusing him,” she said, defending herself. I couldn’t even believe I was still listening to this. “He may not know what’s going on with his wolf, but there’s a possibility that he’s—” “It’s impossible, Shadow. Are you even hearing yourself right now?” “I know we all have blind spots when it comes to our family, blood, our pack, but we should take into consideration that he could be sick. The same week he came to visit you, the sheriff found a dead body and then the mercenary. Sean Nest was found just a few miles from us and from his residence. Is that a coincidence? Am I the only one seeing this?” She made an awful kind of sense, but there was no way Clader
The Hybrid Luna 29
SHADOW “Why are you exactly here, daughter?” “I need a dress for Grady’s party.” I came to Italy two hours ago for other reasons, but I couldn’t choose between white and black gowns. “The new Alpha?” “Yes.” I grabbed the red gown to check the designs and make sure it wasn’t itchy. It was gorgeous. Of course, it was. It was a haute couture gown. Sebastien took me to a high-end brand, and I was hoping he would pay for this because I wouldn’t waste my money on expensive clothing that I would only wear once. “I felt your anger when you came earlier. I guess you and Califf had a misunderstanding.” “Father, be useful. Which one of these two?” I grabbed the red and black gowns, hoping he would give me some helpful ideas. I rolled my eyes and put them back on the rack when he shook his head. “You’re useless.” “My dear,” he called the saleslady who had been showing off her cleavage, batting her lashes at my father, while Sebastien didn’t even give her a second look. “Have you picked
The Hybrid Luna 30
CALIFF “You look stunning, and you’re not wearing the gown and jewelry I bought for you.” And not only that. She was still mad at me and sleeping in the other room. “You cleaned up pretty well, yourself, Alpha. And yes, Sebastien paid a lot to buy this gown.” It was the longest sentence she had ever said to me in the past three days. And I missed my mate. I missed the sweet and funny and caring Shadow. I just couldn’t believe this was happening, and she was making it her mission to prove herself right and make me suffer in the end. If there was one thing we had in common, we were both stubborn, strong-headed, and never yield. As the limousine drove smoothly through the night road, Lyon and Zack gave us privacy. “You’re making it personal when we should work in this case together, and hunters are still hunting while we are fighting for nonsense.” “Sebastien is right after all.” She scoffed. A disgusting smile appeared on her red lips. She looked absolutely stunning tonight, thou

CALIFF The car slowed down and stopped. We just arrived at Midnight Storm Pack. Alpha Grady welcomed us in his fancy tux. Lyon and Zack were behind us while Shadow had her hands around me and my brother’s arm. “Alpha Califf, so good to see you.” Grady shook my hand and then Shadow. “Luna, you look fantastic tonight.” “This is my brother, Calder. Calder, meet Alpha Grady.” “He’s half-human and a rogue?” Alpha Grady’s voice turned stern. Fuck. I didn’t notice it until Grady mentioned it. Calder was telling the truth that he stopped taking Wolfsbane essence, and I was too focused on my mate and her scent flooding my senses. I caught a scent of Calder earlier, but he put on too much cologne, which would have created confusion if I hadn’t introduced him right away. But it would only mean one thing. He had a wolf. “He’s joining our pack.” Shadow cut in. “This is his first pack appearance.” Lyon sprayed more cologne on Calder, but it wouldn’t last. “Now he’s human.” “My apology. He

SHADOW “Fuck.” His jaw locked. One word, he went back to kissing me savagely, not allowing me to breathe. His length hardened and thickened, and he plunged in, his hips pistoned, grinding into me, proving he could make me come once more. I had already orgasmed twice, and he wasn’t close to done. Of course, he was right— he knew me too well— he knew the extent of what my body could take. I was squirming underneath him as the intensity of my climax was on the knife edge of release, blinding me, taking me from far outside this earth. When his cock kicked in, I broke the kiss, crying out a curse, panting, gasping for air as my orgasm exploded. “Baby, fuck.” He groaned louder as he jerked off his release inside me and then shuddered, dropping his body on top of me, still thrusting until he released his last drop of semen. Yeah. Just one kiss, I gave in. I missed this stupid annoying dick alpha so much— maybe because I loved him and couldn’t keep being mad at him for long. When Calder

CALIFF Shadow and I rushed downstairs. I spotted Everlee in the middle of the receiving area. She was shaking, pacing, and looking like she had been crying. “Califf, Shadow, you have to help me.” She ran towards us. Her eyes were red, and her hands were shaking. “Please, I’m begging you.” “Calm down, tell us what happened.” Shadow helped her to the couch and turned to Zack. “Please, bring her some water to drink.” “Right away.” I sat across them, but my heart was already in my throat. I had a strong feeling it had something to do with my brother. “You drove all the way here alone, in your condition?” “Yeah.” Everlee let out a sob. I was glad Shadow had completely forgiven her. Right now, I only saw a woman helping a friend in need. Zack came back with a bottled water. Shadow opened it before she gave it to Everlee. “Drink this, then tell us what’s going on?” She didn’t hesitate. She drank the water and breathed. Then she met my gaze. “Calder is my mate.” I put on a small smi

SHADOW “Califf!” My eyes bulged out. My heart hammered against my ribcage as a primal, sharp scream tore out from my throat that I could barely recognize was my own. Lyon and Everlee began shooting the poor skinny black wolf with red bald patches, scally, and it smelled horrible. Watching Califf’s midnight black wolf being attacked before me scared the living shit out of me. My muscles tensed. A flush of adrenaline tingled through my body. One moment, I was standing on my two feet. The next thing I knew, my nose was flaring, and I was growling. My claws came out, and my fangs erupted from my gums. I was in my hybrid from stretching my clothes to nearly torn out of my body. The thought of Califf being bitten had my skin molten. Despite the shots of tranquilizer the black wolf received, he was still pinning Califf about to take a bite. “No!” I grunted a guttural roar as I grabbed the sick wolf and threw it away. A loud thud followed behind me. “Alpha, are you okay?” “Shoot that

SHADOW “What is it, Dr. Sallie?” Califf was the first one to ask. “I’d never seen anything like this before.” Dr. Sallie got up from her chair, working on the microscope. “What do you mean?” I was still confused, but judging by the look on her face, there was more bad news to come. “See it for yourself.” I went first and looked through the lens. “What am I seeing here?” “I saw a different blood cell in Calder’s blood.” “Well, he’s half-human,” Califf replied, “but that’s not what you meant, is it?” “Yes. I also found another substance in his blood.” “I passed my biology subject, but there are lighter and darker blood cells in here,” I told them, even if I didn’t fully understand what was happening. I stood up and motioned to Califf, but he waved his hand. “What else in there, Dr. Sallie? Make us understand in a very simple explanation.” “Okay.” Dr. Sallie breathed before she spoke again. “Since we have another chain and genes in our DNA that carries another genetic factor t
