Hybrid Aria by Jessica Hall novel Chapter 59

Aria POV

The next few weeks past by in a blur, we laid the dead to rest and helped rebuild the parts of the City that were destroyed. The attack had devasting effects and alot had died and not just the wolves, but humans too. Wendy was inconsable after the loss of her mate and so was Zane, Amber was coping exactly how we expected she would. Her saddness only making my guilt worse, knowing her mother's death was on my hands. I hadn't spoken to my father since the day we escaped, he was quick to leave after everything said he to take care of a few things and refused to give us any answers as to where he was going.

Reid had been run off his feet and would drop in bed exhausted each night trying to salvage what was left of the packs, David to had been working closely alongside Reid and I was slowly getting used to having him around. Lily seemed to have grown closer to him and I was happy for her. Watching Lily the last few weeks she has suffered terrible nightmare's and flashbacks, but that wasn't all I had noticed. Sometimes I wasn't sure if Lily was in control all the time, sometimes she would look at me and I swear I wasn't looking in her eyes but that of her wolf. Her eyes never went back to their normal colour instead staying that Saphire blue and glowing amber colour.

Lily has also been sleep walking, which has had me constantly on alert, she never remembers the next morning but it doesn't ease my anxiety for her. Something was off and it made me wonder what exactly her futre had in store for her.

Climbing in bed next to Reid, I snuggled under the blanket, his arm wrapping around my waist as he tugs me closer, the warmth of his bare chest seeping into my back and warming me as delightful tingles and sparks rush over my skin. His scent making me inhale deeply. He rubs my belly with his large hands in a circular motion and for the first time I feel our bundle move. Reid notices too before lifting his head up and looking down at me his hand on my belly waiting to feel it move again. We found out I am having a little boy and we have decided to call him Ryker. Reid's eye light up when Ryker kicks again and I giggle at the feeling.

"Does it hurt?" Reid asks and I shake my head.

"No, just feels strange" I tell him brushing my fingers through his stubble, he really needs to have shave.
