Hybrid Aria by Jessica Hall

Chapter 15

Reid’s POV

Walking in, seeing her on the ground, I couldn’t help the pull I felt towards her, even after knowing what she is. The mysterious mate bond had other plans. I am supposed to hate her, but being in front of her, the bond won’t allow that. Only the need for her. Her feelings of disbelief, surprise, understanding, then lust all flowing into me through the bond. I could feel every emotion rolling off her and into me. Her desires becoming mine. When she moved towards me, I could feel her intention. She just needed to be close, to touch me. I could feel Ryder pushing me to give in to her, which aggravated me, distracting me enough to think clearly to realise my reason for being here wasn’t to snuggle up with some bloody Hybrid. I grabbed her wrists before she made contact.

I felt Ryder jump at me trying to fight me for control, but I held strong, too strong. I didn’t realise I was squeezing her wrists so tightly until I felt her bone-crushing pain sink into me through the bond. Letting go abruptly, she stumbled to the floor, landing on her ass. I could feel her embarrassment, then sadness leaking through the bond, I could smell the saltiness of the tears she tried to hide. Ryder kept pushing for control. He was screaming in my head, angry. I only came in here to find out who she was running from. Instead, this shit happens, making everything more awkward than it needed to be. Seeing her hurt gaze staring back at me, I couldn’t handle it any longer. Turning my back on her, I walked out the door, locking it behind me. Going back to my office, Zane was standing against the office door.

“We have a problem, Alpha.”

“What is it?” I snap, pushing past him into the office.

“The Black Moon Pack have been at the border. They want permission to look for some Pack members that escaped,”

“Let me guess, a woman and child?”

“Yes, Boss.”

Aria’s POV

In the afternoon, I got that chance. Wendy came in and said the rest of the Pack had to go out on Pack business and that I could explore the Packhouse. When she left the door wide open, I thought it was a trick. Fifteen minutes had passed when I realised the door wasn’t going to be slammed in my face, and I couldn’t hear anyone loitering behind the door or in the hall.

Walking back out of the room, I went to the next door and the next until I came to another hallway of doors. Opening the first one I realised was a bedroom. Knowing Lily must be hiding somewhere here, I started opening every single door. I came to the last one next to a set of stairs that led to yet another floor of this mansion of a house. Opening the door, I could tell straight away it was a child’s room. It was pink, and there was a white 4 poster single bed with a frilly pink unicorn bedspread. It had fairy lights hanging from the posts and had lots of toys and a fluffy purple
