The Hybrid's Captive のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Jade Pinkerton pov Looking at the tray before me I glanced up and watched Nikolai rise to leave me with his own food. I wanted to question him more about my dad but it was obvious that it was a sore subject for him. He headed into his office while I looked at what was on my plate. My stomach gurgled as I lifted the chicken leg and took a big bite. “Mmm this is good, my compliments to your chef,” I announced and heard Nikolai grunt. “Guess someone pissed on yours,” I muttered sourly and heard him rolling his desk chair backward into the bedroom with the food tray balancing on his lap. Glancing up at him, I noticed that he was chewing on a T-bone that hung from his mouth. He ripped it away then eyed me. “I'm trying to enjoy my meal, okay, chatty Cathy. I enjoy having my meals in peace; otherwise, I would be downstairs with my men,” he asserted. I took another bite of the chicken leg and nodded as I lowered my eyes from his intense ones. I continued to watch him eat like a savage

Jade Pinkerton pov Struggling to raise my legs, climbing the steps seemed impossible. I hissed as I looked up at Jesse. My thoughts of escape had been thwarted unintentionally. “I'm not going to turn into a vampire from Thomas's scratch am I?” I asked worriedly. Furrowing her brow she laughed nervously and waved at me dismissively. “Oh no, you would need to receive an actual conversion bite with the venom of someone who really wanted you to convert. So a mate or a really ancient vampire or werewolf to experience the change. I'm certain that you just got a bit infected from Thomas's dirty claws since all he does is tend to your friend. I will get you to the Commander's bed and bring you up some hot chicken broth. I believe that it helps sick humans.” I was happy that Monica was being cared for but loathed being ill. Although the thought of sleeping on Nikolai's comfortable-looking bed instead of the hard floor made my feet begin to tread up the steps. “When is he expec

Jade Pinkerton pov Pulling on my hair I was conflicted. I was attracted to Nikolai but he was a murderer and not human. “What in the hell am I doing,” I groaned internally as I sat on the couch and rubbed my face. “He drank too much of my blood and has clouded my thoughts, obviously,” I huffed. The chains clanked against each other as they hung from the cuffs on my wrists. Exhaling deeply, I glanced at the doorknob, turning. I narrowed my eyes, awaiting who I assumed was Nikolai or Jesse as they entered. So when the Marcus fellow entered wearing camouflage clothing I furrowed my brow. “Come with me, Miss, the Commander needs you,” he said nervously, causing me to cock my eyebrows at him. “Tell me what he needs me for? He's already taken a lot of my blood and I need to recuperate,” I muttered. Seeing his face contort in rage, I was startled when an unfamiliar-looking mountain of a man entered next. “Grab her quickly, Trey, she is a feisty human. Let's take her to the

Jade Pinkerton's pov Standing next to Nikolai I peered at his profile and felt my insides churning. My heart felt odd as if it wanted to break out from my chest. I pulled my hand from his as I rubbed the area and screwed my face as I tried to calm the organ. Curious if being this supposed hunter was what was causing my odd reaction to Nikolai I eyed him warily. “What's wrong?” Shaking my head slightly I felt my hand close tightly, my fingernails leaving half moons in my palm. “What exactly is a hunter? I heard Monica and Thomas mention my mark…Am I not human?” I questioned as I eyed him worriedly. Shrugging, he explained, “Honestly, I am uncertain. I just know that there is a bloodline of humans who are more equipped with knowledge on how to dispose of cryptids like me.” Pinching my mouth tightly, I couldn't shake the pissed off feeling that needed rectifying. Wishing to tear apart the two who tried to kill me weighed heavily on my mind. “I really would like to stab, shoot, or

Jade Pinkerton's pov Nikolai had informed me that he had to make some last-minute arrangements for his retirement which made me laugh. I texted my mom and informed her that I would also be traveling and would contact her when I arrived at my destination. She never replied so I assumed she was busy with my step-dad on her cruise. That night, I slept in Nikolai's bed, but unfortunately, I was alone. Of course, I dreamt about him all night, ugh, which was so annoying smelling his scent on his pillow. Feeling the mattress dip, I cracked open my eyes, hoping to see the smexy man, but was disappointed to see Monica preparing to scare me awake. “Good morning, Bestie,” I mumbled, grinning at her failure. “How do you do that!? Every time I have ever tried to sneak up on you I bomb,” she pouted. “Guess it's because I am a monster hunter,” I replied and whipped the covers off. “Did you and the commander do the horizontal mambo yet?” She asked while rotating her hips. Snorting, I told he
