Hybrid Aria by Jessica Hall

Chapter 19

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.

“We got the test results back. Aria isn’t a typical Hybrid. She is 83% Lycan or in simpler terms a pure

wolf, but her Vampire side is also pure. Aria isn’t just a werewolf/Vampire Hybrid. Her DNA is older, her

bloodline is ancient, and she is more wolf than any of us. Whoever her parents are, they are old,

incredibly old. Aria’s bloodline is so pure that she is, in every sense of the word, a mythical being.”

“That’s impossible. Lycans died out centuries ago. There are none in existence. Run the tests again.”

“We have multiple times. I thought it must have been a mistake as well, but I assure you Alpha, it’s

not.”

Lycans were the first of our kind. They don’t have a wolf because they are the wolf. Meaning if what

Mavis says 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 This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

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. No wolf today has Lycan blood, we are half-

human, but that means Aria is from an original generation of Lycans. It also means that if she wanted,

she has more power over any Pack and is rightfully a queen of Alphas. It also means the Moon

Goddess is either her grandmother or her aunt because the last Lycans alive with as much purity as

Aria were the Moon Goddess’s siblings or her children.

“What about her Vampire side?”

“It’s the same. I have no idea who her parents were, but you said Lily and Aria share the same mother.

Lily’s test showed she has normal wolf genes, and she comes from an Alpha bloodline. So that means

it was Aria’s father who was an original Hybrid. Aria’s Lycan side is more dominant than the Vamp side

for now. From what I gathered from her blood test, she hasn’t drunk blood in years. Her Vamp side was

almost dormant until you gave her blood. I’m actually surprised at how well she is adjusting, her thirst

must be excruciatingly painful for her. Giving her blood would have awoken her Vampire side, she

would probably be ravenous.”

“What do you mean she would be ravenous? Has she come to you to get blood?”

“No, I figured you must have been feeding her, but if you haven’t been feeding her, that means she

hasn’t had blood since you fed her the first night here. She would be a ticking time bomb if she doesn’t

feed.” Doc’s worried expression has me concerned. If she is a ticking time bomb, then how safe is my

Pack with an original Hybrid in the house?

“And you’re sure no one has given her a blood bag?”

“Yes, Alpha. It’s not something we keep here. Not much use in a Pack house full of werewolves with

super healing abilities.” She chuckled lightly.

“Well, you are going to have to order some.”

“Yes, Boss.” She walked out of the room, leaving me to my own thoughts.

So, if Lily has Alpha blood, does that mean Alpha David is Lily’s father? No Pack has two male Alphas.

And who was Aria’s father? Does Aria know what she is?

“And you called her an abomination, she is more werewolf than us,” Ryder spoke up.

“Shut up, Ryder. We have more pressing issues like where our mate is and what she is hiding. We also

have to sort out the Black Moon Pack and that Alpha of theirs.”

Leaving my office, I followed Aria’s scent to look for her.
