Free New Beginnings (True Hybrid Book 1) by Katie Breaux

claiming you. Understood?”
    I look at him and smile.
    “Anything you say Hunny.”
    His eyes ignite with a deep dark passion. He reaches for me and I run away at normal human speed. He growls and sprints after me.
    I know he will give chase, and I want him too. I know I will suffer if he catches me. I just have to make sure to keep in front of him. I know you’re not supposed to look back when you’re being chased, but I can’t help it.
    I turn around just in time to watch him catch me. I squeal out loud as his arms wraps around me. He swings me around in a circle. I’m enjoying the carefree side of both of us. He stops and kisses my mark. It causes all the pleasure to shoot straight to my core.
    “Zander.”
    His name comes out as a gasp.
    “I warned you, but you didn’t listen. Now you’re mine, and I plan on taking what I want.”
    Then he puts some space between us.
    “But I won’t have your first time being in the open or when I won’t be able to control myself.”
    I appreciates that. And just like that, my shields go crumbling down.
    “I truly appreciate that.”
    I decide to show him how much. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him to me. The moment our lips touch I want more. I don’t think I will ever be able to get enough of this man. Not even in a million years.
    I believe he is becoming my own personal drug, because I’m actually getting addicted to him. I break the kiss, and believe me it is entirely too soon. I know we have to move and get somewhere safe. I grab his hand and watch as my hand is swallowed by his.
    I love this man, but I can’t not let him know how I feel. He will break my heart, and then where will I be? Heartbroken and alone, and I can’t let that happen. I push those thoughts away.
    I tug on his arm, and we walk to the truck. I have to get rid of it. We will pick up the truck and go to the bank before stopping at a dealership. I take everything out of all my accounts. It equals well over 5 million.
    That’s not including all my overseas accounts. They are well into the billions. I have saved almost everything the Elders have paid me. The trip to the dealership is awful. Nothing but male salesmen, and they always treat female’s bad.
     
    They ignore me and go straight to Zander until I pull out the money. Then they are tripping over themselves to get to me. I buy a new SUV under a fake identity I have set up. Paid cash for everything the trade in doesn’t cover, which isn’t much.
     
    We leave the dealership and go to the outdoor store and buy an air mattress and sleeping bags to stay in the back of the SUV. It won’t be comfortable, but we will survive. We also get a portable fridge and stove. It will help us stay hidden.
    “We can stay at my place. They won’t be able to get in past my pack.”
     
    I wonder why he decides to open his mouth and talk to me. He hasn’t said much since the River walk.
     
    “I don’t think that’s a good idea. What if they come with reinforcements and someone gets hurt or killed? I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to them because of me.”
     
    I look at the ground as I say the last part. I feel his hand under my chin, lifting my face up to look at him.
     
    “I wish you would stop trying to hide from me. I hate it. I love looking into your eyes and seeing every emotion come through them.”
     
    I blush looking into his eyes. I see all the love he carries for me. It still surprises me to see that it goes as deep as it does. I’ve always heard the eyes are the windows to the soul and they can’t lie.
     
    I never believed it until this moment with Zander. I can see everything he’s feeling through his eyes. It shocks me to see this man with all those emotions. Those emotions are not for everyone, but for me.
     
    I smile and turn my face so his hand is cupping my cheek. I rub my face into his hand and sigh. This feels so right.
     
    “Ok. I’ll try not to hide from you.”
     
    He smiles in
