Aria’s POV I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t understand why I said it, it was like the words just tumbled from my mouth. Like I had no control, like a part of me wanted to protect him. Ryan shifts back from his wolf, laughing. A deep full belly laugh as he looks at me and then Elijah. “There you go Elijah. You heard it from her ‘perfect pink lips’. She doesn’t want you to hurt me!” “Aria?” I heard Elijah’s voice in my head, it was calming and yet confusing. Why didn’t I want Daryl to hurt him? “Come Aria, let me take you home?” Ryan holds a hand out towards me. “You don’t belong here Aria. You are not one of them!” “A wolf? Of course she is!” Elijah growls from behind me, stepping out around me. “But she isn’t is she, or maybe you do not know Elijah. You see this girl standing in front of you. She is neither a wolf nor a vampire. In fact she is a combination of the two, a pure Hybrid, just like myself!” He smiles as he looks at me. “MATE!” he adds and takes a step closer. E
Alpha Elijah’s POV Why had Simon been so stupid, there was just no need for Aria to know, not now her father was dead. Simon had removed all the good images that Aria had of her father. Her knowledge of her father may have been a lie, but now, he had ruined her memories. “So it's true? He didn’t help you?” Her green eyes are watery. I didn’t want her to find out like this. “No.” “But you tried?” “Yes. First I sent Simon and then as the war grew closer, I asked. I thought he might have been interested. Our packs are only divided by a river.” She shakes her head muttering the word ‘no’ over and over. “He just wouldn’t!” Simon mouths ‘sorry’ at me and quickly makes an exit. “My father wouldn’t. He was a good man!” I weigh up my options and figure that I might as well just try and tell her everything. “It’s not the only thing, little wolf.” “What do you mean?” “The pack that attacked us. It was none other than Crimson Pack, led by Ryan’s father!” Her jaw drops. “After we w

Alpha Ryan’s POV“Well, where is she, where is my darling sister?” Seren spits as I walk back into my new packhouse.“Clearly, she is not here Seren!”“You didn’t force her home!”“I tried. Alpha Elijah wanted to kill me but your dear sister stopped him!”Seren raises an eyebrow at me“She stopped him?”“Yes, but I think I may have found a way for us to get in their pack tonight. It appears there is some sort of party going on. So what do you say Seren, up for a party to bring your sister home!”“She is not my sister!” she folds her arms across her chest, pushing her breasts up towards me.“There’s something else…”“What is it?”“Aria knows, she is in denial, but she knows!”“And she still didn’t agree to come back?”I shake my head,“She knows that she is a hybrid. She doesn’t know about the other thing yet.”“You will die if she doesn’t mate with you!”“You don’t need to remind me Seren. I just need to find a way to get her to hate Elijah.”Seren steps towards me, her arms unfolding
Alpha Elijah’s POVSimon had called in some people to help with her hair and make up. Her dark hair hung in soft curls around her face and the makeup, well, to me it didn’t look like she was wearing any. Aria shoots me a shy smile as she steps out of the bedroom. Her scent hits me hard as she closes her eyes.She looked perfect. Her blue dress and matching converse made her look even more gorgeous than what she already was, and I could already feel my dick stirring and I desperately tried to push any dirty thoughts I had of her from my mind.“What do you think?”“You look beautiful little wolf.”Her cheeks flush as I hold out my arm and she takes it.“I don’t have to worry about tripping!” she sticks out a foot showing me her footwear. Her comment makes me smile. It was unusual to find a woman who couldn’t walk in heels.Her smile is beaming from ear to ear as we walk out the packhouse and towards the spot where the ceremony will be held. I hadn’t told her about her being a Hybrid. I
Aria’s POVStrange sounds wake me, strange but familiar. Screams, battle cries and smell of blood shed. This could not be happening again. Trying to move, I find my hand cuffed, a metal band wrapped around my wrist and a thick chain was attached. Climbing from the bed, I follow the chain, it was something that had recently been installed and was obviously designed for me. The chain finished under the bed. A large metal ring that had been drilled into the floor, that doesn’t budge as I pull.Rubbing my head, I look around the room, trying to remember what had happened. I’m sure Seren had hit me but when I rub my head, there is no wound. I guess I could have healed, but that would depend how long I was out for.Moving around the bed, I climb into the window, the chain dragging along the floor behind me. Below were scenes that were too familiar. The smell of the blood was drifting in through the tiny crack in the window.Bodies were scattered everywhere and I see more people come from t
Ryan’s POVFucking arsehole, I thought I was prepared. I had seen his pack, his numbers were not that big but they just kept coming and coming, wave after wave of warriors, just appearing and all for her.I stamp out the fire in the forest, it had started to get too big, giving off too much smoke. I didn’t need fucking saintly Elijah to find me, not until I get a chance to figure out my next move.Stamping it out, Seren comes charging through the forest towards me, her arms outstretched like she was expecting me to dive into my arms and hope that I would save her.“What the actual fuck?” I push her away.“I thought you would be happy to see me.”“Do I look happy Seren? I fucking followed your ideas, listened to you thinking that you knew her best and now look at me. I am an Alpha with no pack!”“You have me.”I stare at her frowning.“Are you being serious right now? I don’t want you Seren. It was all a fucking lie! You were my way back, to try and convince Aria to stay with me.”Her
Alpha Elijah’s POVShe was beautiful to watch. From my place at the edge of the woods, I could see Aria talking to Simon. They were sitting on the ground, both enjoying the warmth of the sun. Her dark hair was tied back into a high bun revealing the curves of her neck.Each and every day that passed, I struggled to be around her. Her scent was intoxicating and anytime I was near, it was like it was calling to me personally, teasing me for not marking her yet. There were so many times that something could have happened between us but she always pulled away, or someone would interrupt us. I wanted to wait until I could mark her, but I'm not sure how much longer I can.It didn’t help that we hadn’t found Ryan yet. There were rumours of a man matching his description in the small human town a few miles away. Any time my warriors passed through, they couldn’t pick up anything, not even his scent.Days had turned into weeks and I was worried. Not for myself but Aria. She wouldn’t enter the
