Hybrid Aria 1-4

Ryker POV

I was going to kill them, they just made me look like a twat. Reika would also pay for not telling me what they had done. I can’t believe she let me go deal with pack business with scribble on my face.

Who does that? Using my car mirror I tried to scrub the crap off my face, I even walked into a service station with this shit on me, no wonder the clerk gave me a funny look. Hearing a knock on the window I turn to see Zane. I roll it down.

“What?” I ask.

“Now I know you can’t grow a moustache but it’s a bit extreme drawing one on don’t you think?”

“Fuck off Zane, what do you want?” I tell him, one more snide comment and he would be eating his teeth.

“Got a call today, an Alpha’s meeting has been called for in July”

“Change it, Reika is due in July”

“No can do, only day everyone is available”

“Then cancel it till a later date”

“It’s to do with the hybrid mutations” Zane tells me. Fuck sake, over this issue, they are just kids and we have taken over half of them into our pack so I don’t understand why they are having issue introducing them to their packs.

“Fine, try asking to move to June, I gotta go, I got brothers to kill” I tell him and he chuckles. I was on a mission, a mission to destroy that little turd, I knew was one of them. Why did I have to be cursed with those little shits.

Just as I leave the city to head home, my phone rings. Jacob was calling and I knew instantly it was do with Reika, poor bugger. I felt sorry for him putting up with mood swings right now, love the woman but damn she could be infuriating.

“What’s up?”

“Reika has made me take her grocery shopping and I can not think of what the hell she is talking about and she doesn’t know what it’s called, just knows she wants to put butter on it” I nearly snorted trying to hold in my laughter. Her pregnancy cravings would be the death of me. That and the hormones, she cried because one foot was fatter than the other, she thought she had wonky feet. I shake my head at the memory.

“Where are you?”

“The grocer just outside of town”

“Be there soon. Also, have you got any wet wipes?”

“Wet wipes? What do you need those for, shit yourself Alpha?” He laughs.

“No jackass, Tyson and Ace drew on my face, just meet me in the carpark with some” I told him before hanging up. I’m going to kill them, they will die by these hands, I think to myself as I put my foot down pon the pedal.

Pulling up, Jacob was waiting out the front with baby wipes in his hands. He rushes over, opening the door before laughing. “Yes very fucking funny” I tell him, snatching the packet off him and removing the crap from my face.

You could still see faint lines but it would have to do. Walking inside, I find Reika looking rather flustered, she hated shops, she hated being around people in general.

I wrap my arms around her and she jumps before realising it is me.

“You are in so much trouble when I get you home”

“What did I do?” She asks.

“You know exactly what you did, you let me leave the house with scribble on my face” I tell her and she snickers.

“So what are you craving this time?” I ask her.

“Something yellow, but has a green nob thing on it, that’s all she gave me” Jacob says looking at the shelf.

“Squash she was dreaming about them last night” I tell him.

“That’s in the fruit section, Reika not canned stuff” Jacob says wandering off.

“We need more butter,” she says, walking off.

“There was still some in the tub” I tell her and she stops looking at me.

“I may have eaten it” she admits.

“You ate butter? Did you put it on anything?”

“Yep on a spoon with salt” she says like that makes perfect sense, that’s bloody nasty.

“You shouldn’t eat butter like that”

“Who says?” She asks, finding the butter.

“It’s not healthy to eat a tub of butter” I tell her, just as Jacob comes over with a bag full of squash.

“These are what we came here for?” He asks and her eyes light up. She grabs one out and I take it from her, “you need to cook it first”

“How do we cook it?” She asks.

“You steam it, and I will show you when we get home” I tell her.

“They have any more?” I ask Jacob.

“Yeah half a box”

“Go grab it for me, or you will be back here tomorrow” I tell him and he nods. “I don’t understand how she can crave something she has never eaten before” He says before walking off.

We made our way to the check out and I quickly pay for everything before leaving.

“I will take her home, just put it in my car. I need to speak to her anyway” I tell him. Reika looks at me but says nothing, though I could feel her anxiety. I knew this would turn into an argument, one I am sick of having. She climbs in adjusting the seat belt around her belly as I start the car.

Her anxiety played havoc the longer I drove, yet I didn’t feel like arguing over this again.

“You need to let Lucy go to school, she wants to go” I tell her, pulling onto the dirt road leading to the house.

“She doesn’t need to go, I never went and I am fine” she says.

“Reika you can’t even spell your name” I tell her, and she growls at me.

“Not my fault, it’s the stupid pencil not doing what it’s supposed to do” she snaps at me.

“No it’s the person holding the pencil, do you want her to struggle like you do, and Tyson and Ace can’t keep having days off to help you with her” I tell her and she sighs.

“Then they can go to school, I am fine with her”

“You’re missing the point Reika, Lucy wants to go and I have enrolled her. She starts tomorrow” I tell her, I was not backing down, she could pitch fit but Lucy was going to school.

“You can’t do that, she isn’t going”

“Yes I can because I am her father, and she wants to go. Nobody will take her from you, school is a normal part of life Reika, and whether you like it or not she is going”

“Fucking bullshit” she says looking out the window.

“She deserves to be a kid, let her be a kid”

“Fine then, but I want Tim gone, creeps me out knowing you have him still in the basement, why is he even Alive still?” She says. Probably because I like listening to the bastard scream for me to kill him, I think to myself.

“Fine I will do it when I get home, but you let Lucy go to school and you let the doc see you”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“No one is touching me”

“I will be with you, and she is a doctor Reika, you need to get over this fear you have of doctors, she just wants to check our son”

“No, she wants to take him from me” I sigh, frustrated. Anyone in a lab coat comes near her. She runs convinced they are going to cut our son out and steal him.

“I won’t let anyone take our children,” I mutter as we pull up. She threw the door open, nearly ripping it off the hinges.

“Deal with Tim” she yells at me before slamming the door.

I grab the bags from the boot following her inside. Ace, Tyson and Lucy are sitting on the couch when I enter.
