The Hybrid

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Two weeks have passed since the killing of Alex and my mother. Since then I've barely left my room wallowing in deep depression and sorrow. That day, I lost two people I loved, two people I would end my life for. Instead, my mother was killed by my own hands and Alex, by my own mother.

Sam stayed with me for a few days but was forced to get back to his pack, promising he would visit as often as he could. Every time he would visit I felt happy but a pang of guilt filled my heart. I knew he wanted to claim me but he refused to do so. When I voiced it, he told me that he wants me happy that he would wait as long as needed. And I was grateful for that.

Few days after returning I needed to let know Liam and Olivia about Alex. That phone call was the hardest I ever had to make. I'd never forgotten Olivia's cries and Liam as he went quiet. It tore my heart to shreds. It was even worse for Markus. It was hard enough for him to get used to being a werewolf. When I told him about Alex's death, he ran off into the woods and didn't come back for a week. I wanted to go after him but my father stopped me, telling me he needed time to grieve.

Telling father about mother, about everything she said and felt towards us, he tried to look like it didn't affect him but I knew it did. I saw the sadness in his eyes every time he came to my room. He was trying to be strong for me but deep down he was in pain. My mother was his mate and I was certain she loved him when they were together. I didn't understand what happened to her, why she changed so much. My heart ached for my dad every time I saw him. Every time I looked at him he would just hug me without saying anything.

"I wish I met Alex," he said to me pulling out of the embrace.

A weak sad smile appeared on my face "me too. You'd like him"

My dad chuckled lightly as he looked at his hands his shoulders slouched slightly. A knock came through the door. Letting the person behind the door know that they could enter, Will's head peeked inside. I smiled at his goofy smile that was plastered all over his face. He always tried to lift up my spirits.

"I found him," he said as he strolled into my room. I straightened up at his revelation, the smile wiped from my face.

"Where," I said urgently

"In Boston," he said carefully his eyes never leaving mine.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Boston? What is he doing in Boston? I thought to myself. Then it hit me like a rock. Liam and Olivia were still in Boston. I was pretty sure Henry was planning revenge involving Olivia and Liam. He couldn't get to me because I was surrounded by my pack so he chose an easier target. Without waiting any longer I grabbed my phone that was on my nightstand and dialled Olivia's number. It rang two times before her melodic voice echoed through.

"Hello" I heard her voice from the other side of the line.

"Olivia. You have to get out of Boston" I said urgently

"Why," she said sceptically

"Henry is after you and Liam," I said quickly

It was quiet on the other side of the phone. I was breathing rapidly, my hands shook and I heard my heart thumping erratically against my chest bone. After agonisingly long two seconds Liam's voice echoed through the phone.

"What's going on Ellie" his voice sounded impatient and irritated.

"Liam you need to get out of there. Henry is after the two of you"

I heard him taking a deep breath

"Come to my pack" I looked at my dad and he nodded slightly "he won't try anything here"
