Her Hybrid Alpha (book 2)

Chapter 4

" Darius " I shout getting up , I'm about to try and follow his retreaing back. " I'd leave him if I was you " I turn to look at cage who's looking off in the direction Darius ran in. He looks up at me " it's the wolf in him , hes had his animal counter part muted all his life. We normally deal with the emotions that come with the wolf from a young age. Think teenager but times that by ten , our wolf doesn't appear until we hit our teens. It's why grandfather wanted him dead before he hit his teens, he couldn't risk him changing and being a silver wolf like he is".

Mathew speaks up next " What Darius is going through right now is anger and well , horny as f**k our wolfs are just animals after all they fight and they f**k. Add that in with the fact his lifes just been turned upside down and told his family , no offence Cage are f*****g psychopaths he's most likely feeling off the scale right now ". Cage laughs " No offence taken they are , but Mathew is right".

I look back the way Darius went and concentrate on our link. Before he'd disappeared I'd felt agitation so I'd tapped in, he was actually upset over us all being happy while he was so confused and upset. It was silly, we was just all taking a minute to be here , we hadn't forgotten his problems . Sighing I sit down my head in my hands " Its not just that , he feels we don't care of his turmoil. His anger must be making him not think clearly he thought we was all too happy while he's falling apart ". The table turns silent looking up i see what everyone's thinking that he's a dumb selfish s**t.

I slide my eyes to Dante and his jaws ticking, eyes flashing red as he looks off in the distance. For Darius to think that upsets everyone here I know it does. But for him to think that of Dante would be like a massive blow. They are like brothers,  Dante was gone too in a blink of an eye I turn my head just to see a blurr disappear through the woods. " s**t s**t " killian jumps uo and so do the rest of the men. " What ?" Sophie asks and they look at her dumbfounded.

Kristophe speaks up " what would your mate be doing chasing after him ?". You literally see it drop and her hand lifts to her mouth. " he will be beating the sense into him " she says worried. The last time they'd truly gone at eachother with anger they'd both been battered and bruised. " don't worry we will go and pull them apart if it gets out of hand " coles says leaning down and kissing Haileys cheek then they take off all of them . Sitting back in my chair deflated I look upto the sky.

The truth was I didn't know how to help him. I like my life planned out and in order always have done. Which was odd given I was raised by my flighty kind of hippy parents. They'd pick me up early from school and whisk me off to some weird destinations never knowing when we was returning back. Dad could run his buisness anywhere. Maybe that's why to start with it was fun, but then I'd miss out on building actual friendships with people it became where I hated it. Maybe that's why I liked order.

In school I had friends but I would never really get invited along to places or become anyones bestfirend. Too unreliable it's why when I got to college , I'd seen Sophie looking lost so I'd clung to her she looked as lost as I did . I think she see's it as the other way around but it really wasn't,  it was the first time my parents couldn't whisk me away I was old enough to live on my own. So the fact my mates life seems so unorganised I got it , I'd be a mess too.

Hell I was a mess when I first came here,  my life had changed so much a mate,  then a witch. Now it was my mates turn , they are right the fates definitely matched your with your perfect other half. " Darius it'll all work out , I know you feel confused right now but non of us would leave you to fight this alone". I try to send the message through our link it goes unanswered. The more I thought about it the more it pissed me off.

Wolf or not he was being a selfish prick, sitting back up i start plating my food up and then digging in. Looking up I see my sisters wide eyes and worried faces. " What ?" I ask " If he wants to go play selfish prick victim instead of turning to his family and his mate then so be it , I hope Dante kicks the s**t out of him ". The girls nervous giggle and slowly go back to eating. Conversations slowly start back happening and I'm quick to join in.

After I ask if any of the girls want to hit the gym , Sophie says yes and so does Charlotte but the others are enjoying the sun too much. Not bothering with going upstairs I head straight towards the gym and magic a change of clothes. Sophie does the same for her and Charlotte, Charlotte hits the treadmill at a speed that I still thinks too slow for her. " Do you even need to work out as a vampire ?" I ask curiously. She looks at me and grins not out of breath or anything no sweat. She's not even concentrating on her legs and shrugs.

" not really but I like to , it's a good way to clear the mind release some pent up energy. You've seen the men battle the darkness imagine a women trying to with our nature and mood swings poor Michael " she giggles. True I'd never thought of that , hopping on the treadmill at a much slower pace than her . My mind wanders as my feet pound onto the belt.

We move from one exercise to the other even doing a bit of sparring with Charlotte. By the time where done I'm worn out my legs like jello and I'm a sweaty mess. " You coming? " Sophie says walking out with Charlotte. " I'll be up in a sec I'm going to shower down here " I tell her. I can tell she's about to turn back around she knows me and knows when somrthings wrong. But I shoo her away with my hands , she gives me a pointed stare. I know I'll get drilled later she won't let me be silent for long.

I salute her and she walks out the room rolling her eyes, struggling to stand up on shakey legs I head towards the showers . Passing through the pool area I look at the water glimmering and shinning. It's like it calls to me and I can't resist it. Dropping the towel I head to the waters edge looking down into the bottom of the pool. Lifting up a hand I call the water to me, it lifts like it has its own body a silhouette of water stood before me. Moving my head to one side the water moves with me then the other. An image that repeats it my head flashes to my mind.

It's the image of a large wolf with silver fur and dark eyes. The water moves and changes until infront of me stands It's image. It towers above me on four paws his head huge and dominating. An image of Darius taking off assaults me next , the wolf collapses and water crashes back into the pool and on the sides. Anger sweeps me again , storming off I pick up my towel. My mind made up that I'd wait for him and then I was going to give him a piece of my mind. Haven't we been with eachother long enough now to where he should choose me to comfort him. But he dosen't he always runs. Always trys to face his demons on his own and I was about done with it. I was going to straighten him out and then we would pay Bridie another visit. The b***h can either step down or be beat down either way we was sorting it and soon . I was ready to start living this new crazy life I had unorganised and all.
