A shocking discovery emerged—a vampire-werewolf hybrid had been born.
Hybrids were thought impossible. Vampires and werewolves were different species with incompatible biology. Yet somehow, a vampire and werewolf who'd fallen in love had produced offspring.
"We need to study this," Adrian said, examining the infant hybrid. "Understand how it's possible, what it means for supernatural biology."
The hybrid—named Luna—was unique. She could shift like a werewolf but had vampire strength and healing. She needed blood but could also eat regular food. She aged slowly but not at vampire rates.
"This changes everything," Grandmother Chen said. "If vampires and werewolves can produce offspring, what about other species? Could fae and vampires? Witches and demons?"
The implications were staggering. If supernatural species could interbreed, if hybrids were possible, the entire understanding of supernatural biology needed revision.
Adrian established a research division to study hybrids, to understand their nature, to help any others who might exist. It became another branch of sanctuary work—supporting beings who didn't fit traditional categories.
