A Hybrid's Hunger

In a world where werewolves and vampires are mortal enemies, Aurora faces an impossible choice. Her mother is dying from a vampire's bite, and the only cure is vampire blood. To save her, Aurora must marry Alpha Gabriel, a man twice her age, who demands her hand in exchange for the life-saving cure. But on her wedding day, chaos erupts. A brutal attack on her pack leaves Alpha Gabriel dead, and a powerful, blood-soaked vampire steps from the shadows, claiming Aurora as his mate. Can she escape her terrifying new captor, or is this deadly twist of fate her only chance for survival?

My mother's dying—I know it and everyone knows it. There's no way to save her. She's going to go away soon.

"Can I get you something to eat? You haven't in days, Mama." I whisper, my voice soft as I sit next to her with her hands wrapped around mine. I want to hold her for as long as I can before I no longer can.

A smile cracks over her face and she shakes her head. "It's alright. I don't really want to eat anything right now. Maybe just a little jasmine tea. It soothes my throat." She knows if she denies it entirely, I'll spend the rest of the day sitting next to her and forcing her to eat something.

I pull my hand away from her and rise up from the bed. "I'll get some of it."

She opens her mouth to say something but stops a moment later. I rush out in the meantime and turn on the stove before placing some water over it. It takes a minute to warm and in that minute, I pace back and forth while biting the insides of my cheek.
