“Zander,” I called to Zane’s wolf, he lifted his head at the command of his Alpha, he took a step towards me, teeth bared, I knew he wouldn’t attack me.I knew his wolf well; he made a noise that sounded strangled.“You need to give Zane control.”
His wolf whined and then howled, I could hear how broken he was, I could feel it.I looked back towards the diner.Alpha Trent and Abel were watching a knowing look on their faces.I didn’t have to explain anything.The sounds he was making told everyone what broke him.But right now, I needed him to focus, move through the pain he still had to find his daughter.
I put my hand on his head.“Zander, give Zane control, we still need to find your pup, your little girl buddy come on.” He whined before I watched him shift, Alpha Trent walked out with a towel Zoe had given him.I threw it over his naked body.Tears running down his face as sobs wracked his body.I had never seen him like this, my strong best friend, now broken.Alpha Trent helped me get him up and inside the diner.
We placed him on a chair, Abel came out with a change of clothes and handed them to him.He took them with one hand.His eyes looking at us were empty and hollow.It was like looking into the eyes of my father, nothing left, just an empty vessel.
After a few more minutes of silence, he pulled himself together and stood up pulling the pants up before doubling over again.I turned around horrified praying to the goddess it wasn’t Amber, but then I felt it too.My breathing becoming harder, my skin burning, my eyes watering.Something was terribly wrong.I could hear Trent yelling at his men to do something, anything.He wasn’t prepared to deal with this, none of us were when we realised we were all linked to Aria the way we were.I didn’t even have a chance to warn him before both Zane, and I passed out.The pain becoming too much.If this keeps up, we were never going to have a chance to find them.My last thought was trying to mind link Aria.
“Keep fighting, stay alive, so we can find you.”
Aria’s POV
I tried to fight it, tried to hold my breath, but the wolfsbane burning my flesh had me screaming only to inhale its toxic gas.Just as I passed out.Reid’s voice popped into my head, he sounded weak and in pain.
“Keep fighting, stay alive so we can find you.” His words giving me comfort as I succumbed to the darkness.
When I came too, I was strapped to a gurney.I turned my head to the side to see Lily in the cage.She was awake and observing everyone walking around the room.I rolled my head to the other side to see Wendy strapped down along with David.Amber was missing.I tried to ask Lily where she was, but my voice was completely gone.I must have breathed in more than I thought.Lily was covered in burns, the skin on her face all blistered.Her hands blistered, but I was surprised to see she was awake.
The only conclusion I could come to was that her wolf kept her alive, I just hoped Amber was still alive.Wolfsbane was extremely potent, and I am surprised by the amount that has been used on us repeatedly that we were all still alive.I was immune to death, but the rest of them, they weren’t.I heard Wendy awaken beside me.She looked over at me panicking when she realised we were strapped to tables like some science experiment.Whatever was coming next, I knew it wasn’t going to be good.
I tried to look around.We were in the same room only the table was gone and, in its place, the three gurneys we were placed on.
“Where’s Amber?” asked Wendy.I shook my head, not knowing when Lily spoke.
“They took her,” I looked at Lily, her blue and gold eyes gleaming back at me, but she didn’t look scared or sad.She looked angry.I wasn’t sure if I was looking at Lily or her wolf, it was hard to tell the difference with her eyes remaining like that.Her voice did sound different though older then the six-year-old girl she is.
The door opened and in walked Kade.A woman walking in with him.Her red hair tied tightly in a bun on top of her head, glasses perched on the end of her nose, she was around my age.She carried a small case in her hands and a clipboard.
“Start with the Hybrid,” he said, looking towards me and pointing.She nodded her head and walked over, standing beside me.I wondered how she could justify doing whatever it was she was about to do, to women and children; did she feel nothing towards us.I couldn’t imagine watching a child and other woman being tortured, I wondered how she sleeps at night.Peacefully or restless?Do her sins weigh heavily on her?She opened the box pulling out two syringes one filled with a green liquid.The other was empty.She jabbed the empty syringe in my arm before drawing blood.Her eyes met mine, and hers quickly darted away guiltily, yes, I knew she didn’t have a clear conscience and that her sleep haunted her.I could smell her fear and something else.Guilt.
When she pulled the syringe out, she handed it to Kane before Picking up the syringe with the green liquid in it.
“What is that?” I asked my voice croaky, praying to god whatever they were about to give me wouldn’t hurt my baby.I don’t know why I turned so maternal all of a sudden, but as soon as she neared my arm panic for my baby kicked in, fear consumed me but not for me but for the baby growing inside me.I squirmed trying to get free.
“Oh, it’s a mutation of your father’s blood, I have been saving it waiting to catch another Hybrid, I want to see if I can make you shift” Shift?Hybrids couldn’t shift, was he insane?I had no doubts he had a few screws loose.Just as she stabbed it in my arm, Wendy blurted out the one thing I was hoping to hide from them.
“Stop, she is pregnant, use me,” The woman looked up concerned, her finger hovering above the plunger that could kill my baby.I was too scared to move in case I accidentally injected myself.Kade walked over, lifting up my shirt, revealing my bump.He pulled a stethoscope from his pocket and pressed it against the centre of my stomach and listened.I knew what he could hear, the slow thumping of its heartbeat.He looked up, surprised.He nodded at her.“Remove it.” The woman looked relieved.She pulled it from my arm, and I relaxed.My fear dissipating but only momentarily.“Grab a bigger syringe, I want you to inject it into the foetus.” She looked appalled.
“What?”
“You heard what I said, now get a bigger needle.”
“I can’t, I won’t do that.” I watched as he grew angry, he reached over and grabbed her leaning completely over me.
“Either you do it, or I will inject you with it.” She shook her head before he let her go.I started struggling against my leather cuffs.Wait leather?This will be a piece of cake.I watched as her hands shakily drew out a bigger needle, she put it in a vial drawing out the green liquid.Her hand shakily moving towards my stomach.Fucking leather, are they for real, we managed to get out of steel braces did they really believe wolfsbane would weaken me that much?Just as her hand went to jab me, Wendy started yelling at her to stop pulling against her restraints before coming to the same conclusion I did.I felt the needle press but not break the skin on my stomach before I moved, the cuff ripping from the chain that held it to the table.I grabbed her hand, her scream echoing off the glass windows.
I sat upright, just as we heard an explosion, the entire building shaking.
Chapter 49
Aria’s POV
The blast from theexplosion shattered the windows of our glass cage.Kade being thrown backwoods and into Lily’s cage.I still had hold of the woman’s hand, that was no longer attached to her arm as a huge shard of glass sliced her arm off, from just below her elbow.The woman is screaming trying to stem the bleeding.I tossed her hand on the ground before undoing my ankle cuffs.Complete and utter chaos ensued.Wolves coming in from everywhere ripping apart anyone they found.Wendy was in battle with a man, still weak, she couldn’t put up much of a fight, and I noticed his eyes changing to that of Christine’s only he seemed to have more control.Lily was unconscious in the cage, the blast must have knocked her out as her cage was damaged.Kade stood up dusting himself off, I jumped up when he moved with so much speed, I knew he wasn’t just a human at least not anymore.
Running at me, I stepped out of reach before shoving the gurney between us, the only problem was that left Lily trapped in the cage on the side he was on.But clearly, I was his target as he paid no attention to her whatsoever.The table David was on was thrown on its side, and I could hear him struggling to get loose before I heard him yell.
“Aria, duck,” My body dropped instantly as the table was thrown at Kade and smashing into the brick wall behind him and landing awkwardly covering Lily’s cage.Kade shifted just in time and David launched himself at him shifting mid-jump, his claws and teeth sinking into his chest and neck.Kade punched David’s wolf, knocking him to the side.
