Hana's mind raced as she tried to process what was happening. Thane's words echoed in her mind, "You'll never escape me, Hana. You're mine now." Suddenly, Thane's grip on her arm tightened. "Come with me, Hana," he said, his voice cold and detached.
Hana tried to struggle, but Thane's hold was too strong. He dragged her out of the room, down a long hallway, and into a dark and ominous chamber. "Where are we?" Hana demanded, trying to hide the fear from her voice.
"We're in my private quarters," Thane replied, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light. "And you, Hana, are my prisoner." Hana's heart raced as Thane's words hung in the air. She knew she had to think fast, or risk becoming Thane's captive forever.
Thane's eyes blazed with intensity as he grasped Hana's shoulders, his grip tight. "Listen, Hana, you need to understand. I'm a hybrid, a vampire-werewolf. And you're my mate, my partner in this supernatural world."
Hana's eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling. "W-what do you mean? I don't understand." Thane's expression twisted in a snarl. "You're mine, Hana. You're the one I've been searching for. And I won't let anyone, including your father, take you away from me."
Hana's face paled, her voice barely above a whisper. "B-but I don't want to be with you. I don't know you." Thane's grip on her shoulders tightened. "You don't have a choice, Hana. You're mine. And I'll do whatever it takes to protect you, to keep you safe."
Hana's eyes filled with tears, her voice shaking. "N-no, this can't be happening. I won't let you do this." Thane's expression softened slightly, his voice taking on a hint of sadness. "I'm sorry, Hana. But it's too late. You're mine now. And I'll never let you go."
Thane's eyes blazed with intensity as he grasped Hana's shoulders, his grip tight. "Listen, Hana, you need to understand. Your father, Father John, he's been trying to kill me for years. He's been hunting me, trying to eliminate me."
Hana's eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling. "W-what are you talking about? Why would my father do that?" Thane's expression twisted in a snarl. "Because I'm a hybrid, a vampire-werewolf. And your father, he's a hunter. He's been trying to kill me, to rid the world of what he sees as a monster."
Hana's face paled, her voice barely above a whisper. "B-but that's not true. My father would never do that." Thane's grip on her shoulders tightened, his voice rising. "Don't lie to yourself, Hana! Your father's been trying to kill me for years. He's been tracking me, hunting me. And now, he's getting desperate." Hana's eyes filled with tears, her voice shaking. "W-why are you telling me this?"
Thane's expression darkened, his voice taking on a menacing tone. "Because you need to know the truth, Hana. You need to know what your father's capable of. And you need to know that I won't let him hurt me, or anyone else. I'll do whatever it takes to protect myself, and those I care about." Thane's expression softened slightly, his voice taking on a hint of arrogance. "Hana, your father wasn't a threat to me. He was just a nuisance, a fly buzzing around my head. I'm far stronger than him, far more powerful."
Hana's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with anger. "Then why did you take me? Why did you bring me here?" Thane's smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "I took you because you're my mate, Hana. You're the one I've been searching for. And I wanted to make your parents severely worried. I wanted to show them that I'm not to be trifled with."
Hana's face paled, her voice barely above a whisper. "You used me as leverage?" Thane's nod was curt, his expression unapologetic. "Yes, I did. But it's not just that. I needed to get your attention, Hana. I needed to make you see me, to make you understand what I am."
Hana's eyes flashed with anger, her voice rising. "You're a monster, Thane. A monster who uses innocent people as leverage!" Thane's chuckle was low, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah, Hana. You're so passionate. I like that about you." Hana's eyes flashed with anger. "You're enjoying this, aren't you? You're enjoying seeing me like this!"
Thane's nod was curt, his expression unapologetic. "Yes, I am. I've been waiting a long time for you, Hana. And now that you're here, I'm not going to let you go." Hana's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with venom. "You'll never have me, Thane. Never." Thane's chuckle was low, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, Hana. You're so wrong. I already have you.
