HYBRID GROSS 24

Hours later...

I watch nervously and shakily as Gross is rushed to the doctor, after we got off the helicopter there was already a team waiting at the landing site. Seeing him being taken away from me gave me such a bad feeling I wanted to break down, I want to cry but I won't, it makes me even more vulnerable and weak, I can't afford to be like this when Gross is in danger of dying.

However inevitable the way I feel, besides feeling totally out of place without him, I don't know what my next step will be, after all, he's the only reason I'm here.

- Hello. — I turn my face to face a beautiful woman, tall and muscular, with eyes so blue they seem to be transparent and black hair also with blue streaks that fall to her shoulders.

- Hello. I reply, knowing I'm being ridiculous for staring the woman from head to toe so much.

“You look a little shocked. I am a hybrid female , my name is Blue, pleasure. —she extends her hand to greet me —I have been assigned to receive you in HybridFalls .

- You are so Beautiful. Nice to meet you Blue, my name is Victoria Carver. I take her hand, squeeze it and shake it slightly, then let go.

"Are you all right, Victoria?"

— It may be a rhetorical question, but to be completely honest, I'm not doing well. I want to go to Gross, but they said I couldn't go now... - I'm sorry.

“They're doing what they can for him. Brute filled me in on the quest. Jack , our leader, is traveling with his companion, all reports will have to be passed to Runner , will you accompany me?

- Clear.

“I'll take you to my apartment, in the females' dorm, you can shower, change your clothes, rest and eat if you're hungry. Later we will speak with Runner .

"Okay... Will I be able to see Gross later too?"

“Of course, I hear you're his mate. — Blue starts walking, however I can't move, so she stops and looks back — Do you want me to hold your hand?

"I hate being like this, but every now and then I get these little paralyzes..." I mutter and stare at the floor.

“You're a traumatized female, I understand, I see the signs in you, I deal with them every day around here, females and males.

"Do you handle it?"

“Yes, I'm majoring in psychology.

"So you really understand?"

“Perfectly. Come with me, you are safe and no one will harm you here. She holds her hand out to me and I place my smaller palm over hers and then we start walking.

Leaving the runway where the helicopter landed, we entered a paved street, with houses and buildings, it's so big, clean and beautiful, it really looks like a city within another. Male-female hybrids and even human people walk peacefully through the streets, laughing, talking and working.

"So this is HybridFalls ..." I say to myself, impressed.

- Yea. Did you like it?

"It's beautiful... Gross will love to see this, he's never had anything like it." My thoughts fly to him and my eyes fill with tears.

I feel my body want to start shaking and the familiar symptoms of a crying spell threaten to hit me.

“Hey, it's going to be okay. Blue stops walking and looks into my eyes, still holding my hand.

“I'm so scared. — the tears flow, without me being able to hold them back any longer — I've become so dependent on him that I feel like nothing makes sense without him anymore, I'm afraid of that too... And if it doesn't work? - sob - What the hell am I thinking. What matters now is that he's okay. I admonish myself for selfish thinking.

“You don't have to worry about it, I bet he's dependent on you too. Hybrid males become addicted to their mates, their smells, tastes, everything. They go crazy without them, their commitments are for life, it's not like a human marriage where there's a divorce. Hybrid males are bonded body and soul to their females. So he also feels the same way, it's reciprocal, it would be worrying if it weren't.

"Are they really like that?" I ask, a little impressed.

- Yea. They are possessive and extremely protective, I bet thinking about you, not leaving you alone, will be their main willpower to get better. They lay down their lives for their mates and practically live to do their bidding, always putting them first.

I feel so many good feelings fill me at the moment, as if suddenly something tells me with complete conviction that my Gross is going to be fine. My heart is filled with hope.

“I want so badly to see him, to touch him, even if I don't feel it. I want to be by his side... Can I demand that as his partner?

- Of course yes. But first I'll take care of you, Gross needs his mate well for him when he wakes up.

- He is well! Thank you for talking to me and comforting me. I give a slight smile, using my free hand to wipe away the tears.

— Does it feel any worse? She gives a slight smile that shyly shows her fangs.

- Yea. I shake my head.

Gross will be fine. I know it will.
