Hybrid Aria 1-4

Aria’s POV

Turning on an angle so I had a clear view of both ends of the carriage and those blocking the exits, I shoved Lily into the seat, not taking my eyes off Zane or Alpha Reid. “Lily, close your eyes please, and hands over your ears,” I said, not even looking in her direction. I couldn’t afford to take my eyes off them. Knowing they were waiting for me to turn my back on them, Alpha Reid crossed his arms over his chest, making him look even bigger if that was possible. I may not win nor be trained like them, but I’ll be damned if I go quietly to my death. Zane, noticing my intent, smiled. His bulky friend standing beside him chuckled like he thought I was joking about trying to fight my way out. Peeking over at Reid, he looked amused, taking a seat in the first chair at his end just as another Pack warrior walked in, standing in his place. Okay, not the best scenario. I may not be trained, but I am a Hybrid. Not having blood for 2 days now is a disadvantage, but I know I have had enough, that my speed and reflexes outmatch theirs.

“Let’s see what you got then,” said the cocky shit standing next to Zane. He was shorter, around my height, but Packed with muscle, too much muscle. I knew he would be slower than me. He was a fair bit shorter than Zane’s 6-foot frame. The carriage wasn’t big, but I knew that would work in my favour. I didn’t need as much room to move. Zane shoved him forward, he stumbled about a metre away from me.

“You first then,” he threw at him with a grin on his face. The warrior looked back at Zane, taking that as my opportunity.

I grabbed his outstretched arm he was going to use to stable himself, taking him by surprise. Using his momentum, he jerked forward, underestimating my strength, just as I lifted my knee, which connected with the side of his head. Shocked, he didn’t have time to recover, his body being pushed back by the force of my knee, making him land on his arse. I quickly stomped on his manhood, making him squeal while he clutched at his groin. Zane immediately stepped forward over his friend’s body and tried to grab me, but I jumped back just in time. Forgetting the person behind me, they grabbed me in a bear hug from behind. Thinking fast and using my legs, I pushed off the ground, shoving both feet into Zane’s chest, making him trip over his recovering buddy, who was still laying on the ground cradling his balls.

Throwing my head back, I connected with my hugger’s nose. Their hands let go instantly. Spinning around, I watched as they clutched their nose, which was bleeding, running like a tap. My own growl ripped through my chest and escaped my lips, not a normal growl, more primal, savage. It was disturbing, the growl of a predator. The smell of their blood reaching my nose filled me with hunger. Alpha Reid stood up. Shoving his Pack member out of the way, he landed on the seat, stomping towards me and grabbing my arm just as I went to lunge for the fallen man’s throat.

Letting out another growl of annoyance, I slapped at his hand with my free one not realising my claws had extended, leaving a gash running down his chest and arm, making him growl back at me. Reid’s grip tightened, ripping me forward. I landed into his chest. The force knocked me out of my blood-filled trance. Struggling against his grip, I dropped my weight, making my body go limp until I hit the floor landing on my back. Not expecting me to play dead, Reid fell on top of me. Using my legs, I pushed him off, making him somersault over me. Getting to my feet and spinning around, I saw Alpha Reid had a smile on his face, which confused me. Was he having fun? Not giving me a chance to lunge at him, he tackled me, knocking my feet straight out from underneath me.

Just when I thought for sure my head was going to crack open like a dropped egg on impact, he twisted so instead of landing on the filthy floor, I was once again on his chest. His arms wrapped around my own, and he squeezed, forcing the air out of my lungs. I would have been amazed at his strength if it weren’t being used against me.

“Nice try,” he whispered in my ear, confusing me, making me very aware of the closeness of his body pressed against my own. Trying to get out of his grip that has caged me in was useless. He outweighed me and easily overpowered me.

Rolling to his side with me still caged in his arms, he stood up, pulling me with him like I weighed nothing. I guess he never misses leg day then, I thought to myself, making me chuckle. Reid turned his head looking at me questionably, wondering what I thought was so funny. I could feel his breath fan my face making me instinctively lean into him wanting more.

Letting me go, he took a step back and to the side motioning for me to move past him to the exit.

“What? You expect me to go back willingly to my death?” I asked, raising my eyebrow. Reid pointed toward the exit again. Looking up at the exit, Zane was leaning against the frame of the door with Lily in his arms, who was talking happily to the person who’s junk I crushed. My shoulders sagged instantly.

“You weren’t the target. We only needed to distract you to get to Lily. I know you won’t risk endangering her. If we wanted you dead you would be. I only told them to grab you or grab Lily. Nice try though, it was quite entertaining.” Alpha Reid’s tone was mocking, making me think he thought this whole situation was childish.

Stomping past him, I followed Zane. When I came up behind him, I went to reach out for Lily. Shaking his head, he continued walking before stepping off the train, while I followed. Walking up to the car Lily was being placed in, I went to get in, but the door was slammed shut in front of me. Spinning around to confront the person who slammed it, I came face to face with the bulky wolf from the train.

“Low blow, don’t ya think? Nearly crushed my baby-makers,” he said jokingly. “I’m Rick by the way. Nice to finally meet you, Luna.”

“I’m not your Luna, and I’m umm sorry about your family jewels.” Just as he was about to say something else, I felt a pinch in my neck. My hand reflexively going to my neck, I turned around to find Alpha Reid standing there with a syringe in his hand. “What?” My body instantly weakened. “Son of a Bitch.” My words sounded slurred, my body went to jelly, and I slumped into Alpha Reid, who scooped me up. My head landed heavily against his shoulder just as my eyelids began to shut. I heard him laugh, the rumble echoing through his chest.

Reid’s POV

We didn’t even make it to the Pack border before Wendy mind-linked me to tell me Aria and Lily escaped. We’d been driving for 40 minutes only to turn around. I was furious. I finally found out what Pack they belonged to and who had been hurting my girls, and now they were going to do a runner from me. I may hate Hybrids and am having trouble figuring out if I want to give into the mate bond, but she is mine. Whether she likes it or not, she will be coming home. Aria believes she can leave my wolf and me. Not happening.

“Spin around head back towards the Pack house,” I tell my driver. The car makes a sharp U-turn, spinning back around the way we just came. The rest of the vehicles behind us instantly spun around and followed.

“What’s going on, Boss?” Zane’s mind link came through.

“Aria thinks she can leave. She gave Wendy the slip.”

“What about Alpha David?”

“Tell Dominic to deal with him for now. Tell him to tell the prick he isn’t getting them back.”

“You want to start a war?”

“Why are you scared?” I mocked.

“Pfft yeah, pissing in my boots,” he sarcastically spat back.

Driving back to the Pack house, Wendy was waiting out front. Jumping out of the car while it was still moving, I walked over meeting her halfway.

“How did she get out of the room?” Wendy looked down, giving herself away instantly. “You let her out…. FUCK!”

“She had been in there all day, Alpha. I thought she might want to look around. I didn’t think she would run. I thought I locked all the doors.”

“Obviously, you thought wrong,” Pinching the bridge of my nose, I let out a breath “It’s fine Wendy, she couldn’t have got far on foot unless she was picked up along the road. We didn’t pass any cars so if she did get picked up, she must be in one of the outer towns. Closest is Larse, we will head there.”

Everyone waiting next to the cars got back in. Four cars went one way at the T section, my car and 4 others went the other direction heading towards the small town out of the city. We drove for about 20 minutes before we came to a derelict train station. Sending Zane to the ticket booth to see if she had been seen, I waited by the car.

“They got on a train about ten minutes ago, Boss. Heading out of the city.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Lead the way, we can cut the train off.” Getting in, I told my driver to get out of the driver’s seat, and he quickly slid into the passenger seat. Putting my foot down and leaving a cloud of dust behind us, we tore out of the train station to chase after the train. After about five minutes, we hit farmland. Driving up to the train tracks, we turned, driving alongside the tracks, when we saw the train up ahead. Putting my foot down, I overtook the train before driving up onto the tracks about a kilometre ahead of it to give it a chance to stop safely. The train driver instantly slowed before coming to a stop just before my car. An elderly gentleman with his grey beard and hair wearing overalls stepped off the train raising his hands in surrender. “I don’t want any trouble.”

“Settle down, we aren’t here to cause problems. I’m looking for a woman and child; they got on at Larse station.” I showed him a picture on my phone that I had Zane take when he was watching her at the diner.

He briefly looked at it before saying, “The middle carriage, son. You aren’t going to hurt them, are you?” He genuinely looked concerned for them.

“Of course not, why would I hurt a defenceless woman and child? You have been watching too many action movies, old-timer,” I replied. He looked relieved, nodding his head, he climbed back into the carriage.

Walking along the train, I made eye contact with Zane before pointing to the last carriage. He immediately obeyed. I knew she would run for the back one, so predictable. Pushing the sliding door open, I climbed into the train before opening the carriage door inside. Aria was protectively shielding Lily.

“Just grab her. If not, grab Lily. She will comply; she won’t risk her safety.”

“Yes, Boss.” Everyone replied before I cut the link.

I observed. Aria wasn’t really thinking she could get away, surely, she would know better.

“Lily close your eyes and put your hands over your ears,” Aria called out. Glancing over at Lily, she did what she was told no questions asked. Lily really is a great kid; Aria has raised her well considering. Looking back up, Aria had turned, so she had a view of both ends of the carriage. HMMM, she is really going to try, interesting.

“Our girl is a fighter. Let’s see what she can do,” Ryder says excitedly. “Should have brought some popcorn.” I muffle my laugh, but luckily no one was paying attention. Zane shoves Rick forward, but what happened next, I wasn’t expecting. Aria seized the opportunity and cracked him a good one with her knee before stomping on his nuts. I internally cringe as I watch her foot come down.

Next up is Zane, who I could hear laughing at Rick’s downfall. Aria was ready though, jumping out of reach. But she wasn’t expecting Mitch behind her. After she kicks Zane in his chest with both her feet, he trips groaning.

“Fuck, I feel like I just been kicked by a horse. What have you been feeding her?”

“My blood,” I laughed back at him. Hearing a terrifying growl, I look back up and notice a crazed gleam in her beautiful amber eyes. Hunger. Looking over at Mitch and seeing he is bleeding. Crap. Getting up, I shove him to the side, making him land on the seat. I grab her just as she lunges for him, but she is quick to swat my hand away, along with it my bloody skin. My own growl matches hers. Yanking her, she turns and lands against my chest but then goes limp catching me off guard and we start to fall to the ground. Only she is prepared and shoves me straight over the top of her. She isn’t as weak as she looks. Amused, I feel a smile creep onto my face. Just as I lunge at her, tackling her, she starts to fall, but I twist at the last minute, pulling her onto my chest.

She squirms for a bit before realising it’s useless. My arms wrapped around her warm body, and I could feel her breasts pushing against my chest, her scent driving me and my wolf crazy. I could feel my dick going hard at the thought of having her pushed up against me. Rolling to my side and using my legs, I pull us to a standing position. Not wanting her to know the reaction being close to her gives me. Letting her go, I instantly lose the warmth of her body.

“What, you expect me to go back willingly to my death?” she asks, raising her eyebrow at me. I indicate towards Zane, and her eyes follow before she recognises defeat.

“You weren’t the target. We only needed to distract you to get to Lily, I know you won’t risk endangering her, if we wanted you dead you would be, I only told them to grab you or grab Lily. Nice try though, it was quite entertaining.” She stormed off the train.

“Isn’t she marvellous? I’m so glad we decided to keep her,” says Ryder, obviously impressed.

“Think you mean you decided to keep her. I wanted to kill her, but she is kind of growing on me.”

“Hmm something is definitely growing, and it isn’t her,” he bites back sarcastically. Looking down, I discover a tepee rising in my fucking pants.

“Settle down, Ryder, you filthy dog.” His anger at me calling him a dog made my erect dick instantly go down. Walking back to my car, I reach over and grab a bottle that has a sedative in it. Grabbing a syringe from the first aid kit, I stick the needle in the bottle, drawing some out. Walking back over to Aria, who was having a discussion with Rick over his hurt balls, I jab her in the neck while she is distracted.

A confused expression appears on her face when she notices the syringe. “What?” She falls into me before she mumbles something else that doesn’t make sense. I think she called me a bitch. Picking her up, I inhale her scent. Little wolf won’t be escaping now, I think to myself. I climb into the car with her sitting across my lap and wait for the driver. The train has pulled away now, and I watch her sleeping body in my arms. Brushing her hair out of her face, I ran my nose against her jaw to her ear then along my mark Ryder gave her. She moved a bit at my touch but didn’t wake. I placed a kiss on her head just as the driver’s door opened and Mitch climbed in the front.
