The Hybrid King's Hidden Mate

Anne T. Thyssen Paranormal

I saw nothing but a pair of boots in front of me at first. I slowly let my eyes travel higher. His legs were three times the size of mine. His upper body was big and broad, and his dark red eyes were staring right at me. f**k, he is huge, I thought.
I knew hybrid males were much bigger than hybrid females, but I had thought the books I read when I was younger were exaggerating. I hadn’t had much to do trapped in that little house my mother had kept me in.
So, I had studied a lot about the world I was not allowed to venture into, but the books had not prepared me at all to sit in front of The Hybrid King. He was dressed nicely, but in all black, as if he was mourning.
Fuck... my wolf whispered.
I wanted to ask ‘what’, but my voice seemed to have gotten lost somewhere. I couldn’t speak.
We can’t kill him... she stated.
Again, I wanted to ask ‘what’, but I didn’t even get to think the word before my wolf whimpered loudly inside my head, as if in pain. I could see her writhing around like she was fighting something, until suddenly she was lying down, her tail tucked in, and she had a submissive look in her eyes. My wolf was nothing but submissive. She was sassy and quite fierce.
This was unlike her, but then she offered me an explanation: Mate.
Of f*****g course, I growled internally. Of course, the last hybrid male left in the world was my mate! I had really hoped that even the Goddess, whom I had seen my mother pray to every night, would have wanted me, my freedom too.
But instead, she had given me to the very person I had despised my entire life because I knew if he knew I existed, he would want one thing from me, and one thing only.
Being mates would make it twice as hard to fight him, but I would fight him. My freedom was what mattered. Nothing more.
