Free Her Ancient Hybrid by Marisa Chenery Page A

something instantly formed between them, invisibly tying them together.
    It had her hurtling into an intense orgasm as she whimpered Brolach’s name. A wolf’s howl pushed out of him as he followed her into release. His cock pulsed deep inside her, filling her with his cum.
    After he collapsed on top her, Waverly asked, “What was that? I felt something…different.”
    Brolach lifted his head and kissed her. “That, my mate, was the werewolf part of me claiming you. The mate bond has formed. You’re now mine.”
    “What about the vampire part?”
    “It hasn’t yet. Not until after we’ve done the second blood exchange. Then that bond will form and you’ll be turned.”
    Waverly pushed on Brolach’s shoulder until he rolled off her and lay on his back beside her. She sat up. “What do you mean I’ll be turned?”
    “With the second blood exchange, you’ll no longer be human. You’ll be a vampire.”
    “Hold on a second there. You mean like a real vampire who can’t go out in the sun and has fangs?”
    “Yes. Plus, you’ll be immortal. You just won’t have the same true immortality that I do.”
    “You never said anything about me being turned when you told me about the blood exchanges.”
    Brolach pushed himself up in to a sitting position. “It’s the only way we can have forever together. I don’t want to lose you to old age. I thought you’d want that now that I claimed you.”
    “I do, but it isn’t something I can do without taking my family in to consideration. How am I going to explain why I have to suddenly avoid the sun, and that I can only work when it’s dark outside? That wouldn’t work out too well in the summer when it stays light for a lot later.”
    “We’ll figure it all out once you’re turned.”
    “No, we’ll do that before the second blood exchange. This is a big life-changing step for me to take. I’m not going to do this without thinking everything through. You have to give me more time.”
    Brolach blew out a breath. “I don’t know how much longer I can resist biting you. Now that we’re bonded, it’ll get even harder. Mated vampires can only feed from each other. Their bodies will reject the blood of anyone else. Being a hybrid, I don’t know if that’s already come into play for me since my werewolf side has finished the mating with you.”
    Waverly quickly kissed him. “Well, I don’t want you experimenting to find out. I love you, and I do want to have an eternity with you. I only need a few days. That’s all I ask.”
    “All right, but I won’t be able to make love to you again until you accept the exchange. You have no idea how hard I had to fight with myself not to sink my fangs into you just now. Your blood calls to me.”
    “Two days. I promise.”
    He kissed her thoroughly, his extended fangs gently brushing against her lips. All too soon, Brolach pulled away with a groan. “I’ll wait. I’d never push you into something you weren’t ready to accept. I love you too much to make you resent me like that.”
    Waverly went and turned the lights off before she climbed back onto the bed. “I know we can’t make love again, but can you at least hold me while we sleep?”
    Brolach pulled the covers down, then gathered her into his arms before he positioned them so they lay stretched out on the mattress. He kissed the top of her head. “I’ll hold you all night.”
    She closed her eyes. With her head pillowed on Brolach’s chest, the sound of his heartbeat lulled her to sleep.

Chapter Seven
     
    The next day, Brolach and Waverly were at the coffee shop to work their shift. Before they left their house, she’d said she’d talk to her dad about getting them switched off the dayshift. She hadn’t come up with a reason, but figured she’d think of something before she talked to him, which she planned to do closer to the time they could leave.
    So far, the day had been uneventful. Cameron, Torger and Kaisa had come by for something to eat and
