Hybrid Aria 1-4

“My name is Amanda” She says her voice cold and void of emotion.

I jerk my hand back pushing her away, she laughs sadistically, her eyes brightening while I stood there confused.

“You said you don’t have a name”

“I have a name, everyone has a name. Though Rieka prefers her new name, she hated when they called her 46, hated that I had been named by the Moon goddess while she was just a number, another reminder of what they put us through”

“You’re unhinged, you need help” I tell her, stepping back. I didn’t like the way she looked at me, the glint in her eyes.

“Like you can talk, you sadistic fuck. You’re just like them, just like him. You think you were cursed with a second chance, fuck we were cursed too. I had hope for you though, hope that maybe she could find happiness with you, that once we got her back we would be able to find peace in this miserable world”

“What are you talking about?” I ask stepping closer to the door, the movement doesn’t go unnoticed by her calculating eyes.

“Go on run, run like the last one, although I think I will enjoy killing you after what you did to us, I thought he was a piece of work walking away on his mate leaving us with them, leaving us to endure all that, at least he never touched us” she says, stepping forward her claws slipping past her fingers.

“You’re just like him, weak pathetic scared” she snarls, baring her teeth as her lip curled above her teeth.

“46, Amanda whatever your name is, you need to calm down. I don’t want to hurt you, we can figure whatever this is out” She laughs the sound hollow and manic.

“You’re just like him, he begged for his life too before I took it” she says, her face morphing and she resembled a demon.

“Who?” I ask, trying to understand what is wrong with her.

“Our first mate, what you thought you were the only cursed with a second chance. Poor poor Ryker comes from a good family, has those who love him, so he killed his mate destroying everything. Must suck growing up normal, must suck having someone to love you” she taunts, my anger rising at her words. How dare she think she knows anything about my life. I growl at her stepping toward her.

“Ooh scary, there is the big bad wolf” she says not even slightly intimidated by me even though I could break her like a twig, she was insane completely fucking bonkers.

” I won’t let you destroy her. Not again. You don’t live through what we did and come out unscathed, no you come out some twisted version of yourself, some fucked up mutation of the hell you lived. Reika was weak, she couldn’t handle it so I took over. I took it because I love her, and you make sacrifices for those you love, you don’t condemn them to more pain. I won’t let you destroy her again” she says a feral growl escaping her, she suddenly shifts so quickly I couldn’t react. Her canines tore through my shoulder knocking me backwards when she lunged at me.

A mangled pained whimper leaving my lips as she savagely shook her head, tearing my flesh apart. I twist trying to get up and she sinks her teeth into the back of my arm. Pain radiating out of every wound she inflicted as I tried to heal enough to shift. Brax waiting for an opportunity to take her down.

Dropping forward, I roll on my back and she is thrown off, rolling on her side before getting to her feet shaking out her fur. She lunges but I bring my foot up, kicking her in the chest and she flies backwards. I partially shift grabbing the scruff of her neck when she shifts back before punching me in the stomach, my grip on her slipping and I bring my knee up as she drops her weight. The force of my knee snapping her head backwards and I grab her.

Wrapping my arms around her in a bare hug, I feel her trying to shift as I squeeze the air from her lungs making her wheeze as she tries to get a breath.

She threw her head back but I was waiting for it, grabbing her head at the last second before ripping it to the side exposing her neck.

My canines slipped past my lips as I let Brax take control and we sank our teeth into her neck. She thrashes trying to break out of my arms as I sink them deeper marking her. Her thrashing slows as she grows weaker in my arms, unconsciousness taking over as she slips into darkness going limp in my arms. I run my tongue over her neck, sealing it. Scooping her up I cradle her against me when I hear knocking on the door, the bangs so hard I thought they would knock the door down.

I was about to open it, when suddenly Tyson and Ace barrelled straight through, smashing it off the hinges, both of them landing on the ground on top of the door.

“You will never believe what happened at school” Ace says completely oblivious to Reika unconscious in my arms as he dusts himself off crawling to his hands and knees.

“I swear bro, we fucking died aye. Minding my own business and suddenly this strange feeling came over me, next I know we woke up along with the rest of the class. Thought I was gonner” he says before Tyson nudges him as he stares up at me.

“Naw she fucking marked you didn’t she? here I was thinking I could come back from the dead, and have some mad superpowers but it was just a teether to you two?” Ace groans and I chuckle at his lame reasoning for his near death experience.

“Damn! Hey what’s up with her, you fuck her into unconsciousness?” Ace says and I kick him.

“No fuckwit, now get up and fix my door” I tell them walking out.

“Where are you going?” Tyson says standing up.

“The cells” Tyson growls at me stepping forward.

“I need somewhere to put her, that is secure until I find out more about Amanda” I tell him.

“Amanda?”

“Yeah why did she say something to you?” I ask and he looks at Ace.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Yeah she said she had to find her dead friend Amanda’s daughter, that the humans took her”

“They took Reika’s daughter?” I ask, looking down at my mate. She had a pup, maybe that was why she had such a fascination with Lana’s kids.

“No, some girl. Her friend is Amanda,” Tyson says. Fuck she was more fucked up than I thought.

“So you know where Amand’s daughter is?” Ace asks. They still didn’t get it.

“You’re looking at Amanda”

“You get a sex change bro, nice” Ace says and I roll my eyes at him.

“No fool, Reika is Amanda, they are the same person” I tell him.

“Huh?” They both said in unison.

“I don’t know, her wolf said her name is Amanda, hopefully when she wakes we get Reika back and not Amanda” I tell them, turning for the door.

“She isn’t going to the cells, put her in our room” Tyson says.

“What? No definitely not,”

“She likes us, it’s you she hates,” Ace adds.

“Give her to me, I will take her,” Tyson says, holding his arms out.

“Fine, keep an eye on her and mindlink me when she wakes” I tell him.

“Where are you going?” Ace asks as Tyson takes her from me.

“To ring Aunt lily” I tell him walking downstairs.
