Chase POV:
After explaining to my father about Damon and I imprinting on Ash, his reaction had been nothing short of fascination. He'd even gone as far as to speculate that the imprinting was tied to the vampiric lineage Ash inherited from Leila. While in his curiosity reassured me that Ash's unique situation wouldn't be seen as taboo in his eyes, it also fueled my resolve. The council could go screw themselves.
They'd lost whatever leverage they thought they had against my mate now that it was clear she wasn't just a wolf, but also a vampire. Her lineage gave her every right to stand by my side. However, there was a catch—she wasn't just a vampire. She was a hybrid of wolf and vampire, a rarity that would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the council. To make matters worse, her vampiric bloodline was tied to a family so reviled that they'd been erased from our history books.
