Hybrid Aria 1-4

Ryker POV

The bastard said he wouldn’t break and even after everything he has endured he still hasn’t uttered a word as to where they are. Just the occasional taunt besides his screams.

I watch as Drake hooks a blood bag up to him, we had been at it all day and half the night, at this rate he would die long before we got answers from him.

“We will start first thing in the morning, organise Jacob to come watch him” I tell Drake exhausted. My ears are ringing from his constant screaming.

“Ah Ryker is it alright if Tate and I stay at a motel instead of here”

“Of course it is, why are you asking, you can go home if you want” I tell him but he shakes his head.

“I’m not leaving till I know where those kids are,” Drake says. I give him a nod walking out and seeing Tate asleep in a chair. How he managed to sleep listening to his screams is beyond me. My skin was itchy from all the dried blood and being down here covered in it was making my gums tingle with the need to feed.

I clap Tate on the shoulder, he jolts awake. “Shit what I miss?” He asks, looking around bleary eyed.

“Go sleep, Drake is just finishing up and Jacob will be here soon” he nods, running a hand through his hair.

I walk up the steps to the ground floor. My feet leave bloody footprints as I walk up the steps.

“Reika?” I call out to her wondering where she is. It was night time, she should be around somewhere.

I stop at Tyson and Ace’s door, sticking my head in. Tyson was reading that family history book, Ace drawing in his sketch pad.

“Have you seen Reika?” I ask them.

“Not since this morning?” Ace tells me.

“What, you haven’t seen her all day?” I ask, wondering where she went. She wouldn’t have left us would she? I know we had an argument but I was just pissed off, I never meant to snap at her.

“If you see her can you tell her I will be in the shower” I could feel she was close, so I knew she was somewhere in the house. I look at my phone and see it is nearly 10PM. I will shower and go check the rec room, she might be watching Tv, I thought to myself.

Turning into the next hallway, I walk toward the bedroom. Opening the door I find her sitting on the bed leaning against the headboard. Her face streaked with tears.

“There you are, I was looking for you” I tell her but she says nothing, just looking away.

“What’s wrong, I’m sorry I snapped at you” I tell her walking toward the bed. Still she says nothing. “Reika!” I mindlink her and she looks at me, so I knew she heard me.

“I told you I didn’t mean it, I just don’t want you down there,” Still nothing and I try speak to her wolf but get only silence

“You want to be a brat then fine, I’m going to shower” I tell her pissed off that she was ignoring me. Brax whimpers in my head and I turn the shower on.

“Don’t you start, asshole. I told her I’m sorry, she is just in a mood, she will get over it” I tell him.

I hop in the shower bracing my arms on the wall. Shoving my feelings aside and feeling for hers. Yet all I feel is loneliness and hunger. Why is she hungry? I mind-link Ace.

“Did Reika eat today?”

“Nope, I asked if she was hungry but I got no answer from her, figured she was asleep, why?”

“Doesn’t matter” I tell him and I racked my brain, wondering why she was ignoring me. I was in a bad mood but I only told her to get back in bed and shut up.

I was giving myself a headache when I remembered the look on her face and the whimper that left her lips, the way she looked at me with so much shock, then it hit me. “You fucking idiot” Brax yells realising the same thing I did. We used our Alpha voice on her.

I spin around, running straight in the glass shower screen in my haste, the door smacking the wall with a loud bang as I dart out. She jumps when I run back in the room.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise, I didn’t realise, you can speak, shit I didn’t mean it I swear, you’re free to go where you please” I tell her grabbing her and jerking her towards me. A sob breaking from her lips as I grab her legs, pulling her towards me when suddenly her hand connects with the side of my face, her palm branding my skin.

“You ever do that to me again and I will rip your fucking balls off and feed them to you” she snaps at me.

I rub my cheek, shocked she dared hit me, hit the Alpha King. She hit me, though I was just glad to hear her voice, she could have punched me and I would have just been glad to hear her voice still.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She stares at me, her anger dissipating and I feel her become anxious before I realise I was just staring at her. My hand was still grasping her knee while the other was feeling her hand print on my face.

I move my hand toward her face and she flinches. When I realised she thought I was going to be angry because she hit me, I was shocked but definitely not angry. I would have probably slapped me too.

I cup her cheek and she lets out a breath leaning into my touch.

“I’m so sorry love, I didn’t realise I did it” I tell her, brushing a stray tear with my thumb.

“But if in the future you need to cut something off, can I keep my balls, you can cut off anything just not the baby makers” I tell her and she chuckles.

I grip her chin and bring her lips to mine and kiss her softly. She sighs, kissing me back, and I feel her hunger, her need to feed. I pull her to me before standing up and sitting on the bed, I pull her onto my lap before breaking the kiss and offering my neck to her. I was ravenous but so was she, my own need to feed affecting her, I could wait. She was more important than me and it was my fault she was this way.

I feel her lips press to my neck, before feeling her canines graze my skin. Tingles rushing over me before she sinks her teeth into me, I moan as her tongue laps at my skin, my cock hardening underneath her and I roll her hips against me. She moans, pulling her fangs from my neck. She kisses me before pulling back and looking at the bathroom.

“You left the water on” she says and I listen, hearing the shower still running.

“Want to shower with me?” I ask, bumping my hips up against her. She smiles, kissing me and I stand up with her legs wrapping around my waist and I tug her shirt off as I walk into the bathroom, my lips going to her skin as I nip and suck on it.
