All Chapters of The Hybrid’s Fate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Crystal's POV I knew something was wrong the moment I woke up.Not the kind of wrong I was used to, not pain, not exhaustion, not even the lingering weakness from pushing my body too far during training yesterday, this felt different, quieter but deeper, like something had shifted inside me while I wasn’t looking.I stayed still on the bed for a while, staring at the ceiling, listening.The pack house was already awake, footsteps moving through the halls, and distant voices that didn’t belong to me.I exhaled slowly, pushing myself upright, my fingers tightening slightly against the sheets.I moved quickly, getting dressed in a cropped tank top and pants. I tied my wavy hair into a high pony tail.By the time I stepped out of the room, I had already decided one thing, I needed to train.The hallway was quieter than I expected, a few pack members passed by, their eyes lingering on me a second too long before they looked away, and I ignored it like I always did, because I wasn’t here t

Crystal's POV I didn’t go back inside immediately, standing there just outside the pack house with the air still cool against my skin and the tension sitting heavily in my chest. I realized something I didn’t like admitting, I couldn’t move forward and I couldn’t pretend this wasn’t happening anymore, avoiding it wasn’t working and neither was denying it, so if I was going to deal with this, it was going to be on my terms.I turned slowly to face him, forcing my expression into something controlled, something steady, even though I could still feel that connection.“I’m not staying because of you,” I said, my voice firm as I held his gaze, “I’m staying because I need to understand what’s happening to me.”Kenneth didn’t react the way I expected, there was no argument, no challenge, just a slight nod like my reason didn’t matter as long as the outcome stayed the same, and that somehow annoyed me more than if he had pushed back.“That doesn’t change anything,” he said calmly.“It chang

Crystal's POV I didn’t leave the training ground immediately, even after everything settled and the others went back to whatever they were doing.I stayed there, standing in the same spot, trying to piece together what just happened.Kenneth hadn’t moved far either, he stood a few steps away watching me like he was expecting something else to happen.“Nothing feels normal, anymore” I said finally, breaking the silence without looking at him.“No,” he replied.“And it’s getting worse.”“Yes.”I let out a quiet breath, dragging my hand down my face as I tried to think past the frustration building again, because getting angry wasn’t going to fix this, and neither was pretending it would go away on its own.“That voice,” I said, my tone lower now, more focused, “That wasn’t just part of the vision.”He didn’t answer immediately.“It felt like it was talking to me,” I added.“It was,” he said.I turned to look at him fully.“You sound very sure about that.”His gaze held mine, steady and

Crystal's POV I didn’t stop walking until I was well past the kitchen.The moment the door closed behind me, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding, my steps slowing slightly as the weight of everything that had just happened settled in.“They’re scared of me.” saying it in my head made it feel more real than hearing it out loud.I didn’t like that, not because I needed their approval but because I have been through the same cycle in my previous pack.“You walk fast.” The voice came from behind me.I stopped, of course she followed. I turned slightly to see Stella catching up, her steps unhurried, like she already knew I wouldn’t go far.“I wasn’t trying to be followed,” I said.“And I wasn’t asking for permission,” she replied easily. That earned the faintest reaction from me, not quite a smile, but close.She stopped a few steps away, folding her arms lightly as she studied me, not like the others had, Just… observing.“They shouldn’t have reacted like that,” she sai

Crystal's POV The silence in the room did not break all at once, it settled slowly, the open book on the table seemed heavier than it should have been, in meaning, and even though I could not read the symbols clearly.I drew in a breath and straightened slightly, forcing my thoughts back. “So what exactly is happening to me,” I asked, my voice firmI needed to hear something that made sense of everything I had been feeling. He closed the book slowly, his fingers lingering on the cover for a brief moment before he turned fully toward me. “What you are experiencing is not a sudden change,” he said, his tone calm and measured, “it is something that has always been within you, waiting for the right moment to awaken.”I frowned slightly, my arms crossing loosely as I leaned back against the edge of the table.“Waiting for what moment,” I asked.“For the Right time,” he replied, “for your wolf side to fully awaken first and for your body to adapt to that strength, because without that, yo
