Hybrid Aria by Jessica Hall

Reid’s POV

Watching her leave and slamming the door behind her, I wanted to chase her down and force her to tell me what she wanted the wolfsbane for. It was unusual for a wolf to want it. Was it for protection? Does she feel safer knowing she has it on her? Lily refused to tell me when I asked why Aria smelt of it at the diner and why Aria had so much in her system when we found them. The only thing Lily said was that they used it against the Alpha when they escaped. I’m assuming her old Alpha forced her to drink it as punishment, knowing it wouldn’t kill her. I just didn’t understand why they would have so much in the bag. Just as I was about to follow her, the door opened, making me come to a stop. It was Doc. She walked in holding a bunch of paperwork.

“You are going to want to take your seat, Alpha. I have some surprising news for you.”

Walking back over to my desk, I sat down waiting for her to explain what the hell she was talking about. Mavis sat down before pushing the papers in front of me.

“What is it?” I asked, confused. The documents looked like blood work documents.

“When Aria came in here, we took some vials of her blood. Out of curiosity I had her DNA tested because even for a Hybrid she had ingested way too much wolfsbane. Enough to even kill a Hybrid.”

“What are you getting at? I don’t understand.” Looking at the papers, they were just numbers on a page to me. I could never understand all this medical gibberish.

is true, her bloodline isn’t much younger then the Moon Goddess herself. The Moon Goddess was Lycan. It’s said that one of her grandchildren fell in love with a human, therefore creating a mutated version called werewolves. When the Moon Goddess found out that her grandchild mated with a human, she had a witch help her, and in turn, the Moon Goddess created the mate bond to try and keep the bloodlines pure. What she didn’t realise was that humans and Vampires could also be mates for Lycans and Werewolves, so after time, the Lycan blood was eradicated. Werewolves like myself are a mutation over Lycans mating with humans.
