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

CALIFF Zarah appeared from the door. My hope rose up. I’d seen the impossible happen since I met my mate. Maybe, just maybe, Zarah could do something to help my brother. “Will you help us?” Shadow asked Zarah, more like begging her. “Is this why you missed your training?” Zarah turned to Shadow, ignoring Sebastien beside her. “Yeah. And I hadn’t slept since yesterday. I don’t think I can focus on our training when I know I have a job to do at the pack. I’m sorry, but I will be there tomorrow.” “Focus on your problem right now. What happened to him?” She finally faced my brother, lying on the bed with Everlee beside him. “Everlee Ross. Let me guess, he’s your mate.” “Yes. Can you help Calder?” “Of course she can,” Sebastien said confidently. “And you, Lycan, what are you doing here?” Zarah turned her head to him. Her tone was laced with disgust. “It’s surprising how you came running here helping a rogue.” “I know you’re upset. That’s why you are not taking my call.” Okay. So

CALIFF “She put a spell so Calder couldn’t escape and hurt us if he shifted.” “Now, come out, beast!” Zarah exclaimed. My brother stood up, his eyes transfixed at Zarah. One moment, he walked in our direction, and we stepped back. The next thing happened. He shifted to his wolf and lunged at us. He was thrown around by a strong force of the spell cast by Zarah. They yelped in shock, and I just stood there watching my brother in pain. He was literally in pain. His wolf was weak but fighting, exposing his fangs and drooling. He went on full feral, his blood-red eyes narrowing. This wolf was not the same Calder in his human side. This wolf before was somewhat pure evil and soulless. “Califf.” I felt Shadow’s arm wrapping around me. “Oh, boy.” It came from Zarah. “Guys, get out now!” We dashed outside the solitary room, including Everlee, and locked it from the outside. We came to the two-way mirror to watch him. He gouged through the wall, the bed, and the floor when the invisib

SHADOW You’ve got to be fucking kidding me! “What do you mean we should inject the blood while he’s in wolf form?” Califf burst out in surprise. “That’s exactly what I said, Califf. That’s the only way to treat a sick wolf, and the result would be immediate.” “And it’s also dangerous, father.” I managed to make my mouth work from the shock. “I didn’t say it’s a walk in the park, my dear.” He checked his watch for the umpteenth time. “You should hurry. Tonight is a full moon.” “Shit.” “I’ll do it.” I turned to Everlee. “No way. He will knock you down.” “But, he will recognize me. I can talk to him. I’m his mate, Shadow.” “I hate to break it to you, Everlee, but he doesn’t know anyone anymore,” Zarah said. She dropped her gaze as if Zarah just guessed it right. “I can’t feel him when he’s in wolf form.” “Then we have to hurry.” I turned to Califf. “What’s in your head?” “We will knock him down again, but we have at least five seconds before he returns to himself.” “Yeah.
The Hybrid Luna 39
CALIFF I didn’t know what I was thinking. It just happened so fast. When Zack was pinned down, only one thing came into my mind— to save everyone before it was too late. I couldn’t afford to get him hurt and see the pain in my mate’s eyes as she watched her best friend suffer from a sick wolf bite or, worse, die. I couldn’t let them hurt or lose anyone anymore. I had enough pain. The wound was still fresh— it was too much. And I trusted them to do their part, and it worked. I would deal with Shadow’s anger later. What was important was that we got the job done— Calder got Sebastien’s blood, and hopefully, he’d healed. It had already been an hour. Calder was still knocked out, but he seemed okay. I had already worn clothes I grabbed from the cabinet. I stared at the two-way mirror, hoping someone was watching us, and I knew they were. “Can anyone hear me?” I gestured to turn on the mic because I was still blocking everyone, including Shadow. “Finally. You and I will have this t
The Hybrid Luna 40
SHADOW “You’re here to read the guilty verdict? Go ahead.” “Nice pitch. And you’re being dramatic.” I snorted as I joined him in his favorite spot that overlooked the vast land Night Stalker Pack owned. “I’m sorry I overstepped. I disrespected you and Alpha.” “You didn’t. You almost died, Zack. I wouldn’t even help if I were you, but you did it for Califf and, maybe, for me. I understand why you said what you wanted to say. Getting it out of your chest always makes you feel good after.” “Thanks.” “I despised her since I met her. That was what I felt. I was in a new environment, I didn’t know anyone, and everybody looked at me as if I was a villain, a bitch, a wretch, and treated me like dirt while fighting the mating pull. Still, it hurt a lot knowing my competition was someone like Everlee, beautiful, sophisticated, and rich. How could I compete with someone like her?” “You’re more beautiful than her if I were to consider. And you’re my Alpha’s one true mate. That’s your bigge
The Hybrid Luna 41
CALIFF She was like drugs. Addicting. I couldn’t quit. Her little stunt made me hard. Then she decided to walk away. Did she really think I would just let her go because she said so? She should know by now that I was a greedy asshole. “Shut up.” I smashed my mouth against hers, dominating her. I instantly felt home, her warmth, the sensation, and the softness of her lips. Every cell in my body tingled. My cock went steel-hard. No matter how much she tried pushing me away, I knew she couldn’t deny her desire to get fucked tonight. And she could just use her super-enhanced strength to slam me against the wall and escape the shower room. Instead, as if she couldn’t get enough of me, she gripped my hair tight, my scalp stung, and the pain sent a spark down my balls. A fresh load of adrenaline rocketed through me, lighting up the fire inside me. We may be both exhausted, but at least we slept satisfied. I moved my lips against hers and slid my tongue into her mouth, tasting her.
The Hybrid Luna 42
SHADOW The air suspended in my lungs as Calder’s wolf ran in our direction. I could not sense his anger or predatory tendency in his blue-gray eyes but excitement and contentment. One thing was for sure— he could be the Pathfinder. I saw his eyes glow yellow for a second. “Don’t shoot him!” I yelled at the guys when I felt their fear shifting in the air. Calder threw himself onto Califf and grumbled as if asking to be a pet. Then he licked Califf’s face. “You, mutt.” Califf pet the back of the black wolf’s ears, making it purr in satisfaction. He then licked him again, causing Califf to laugh. “Stop it. Only my mate is allowed to lick me. Get off of me, Calder.” Calder made a friendly growl. “You look great, Calder.” I petted his head. Before he could come close to me, Califf growled possessively. “Don’t ever fucking lick her, or you and I will have a problem.” “He has no idea how territorial an Alpha can be,” Kairo remarked. “Oh, he knows,” Tor replied. Calder went back to
