“Has to find me first,” I said, running through the kitchen door and towards the foyer.I could hear everyone laughing behind me.
“Bring my clothes back, Aria.” I ignored him walking up the stairs.I listened as he Pack linked everyone asking for some clothes so he could shift back.
Everyone ignored him except Zane.“Can’t get involved, boss man” I laughed to myself, before hiding in his office.After a few minutes of him not being able to get in.I heard him use his Alpha voice through the link demanding clothes.He sounded annoyed.
Being cheeky, I knew mine would overrule his commands.“No one help him, I’m trying to find somewhere to hide,” I called back.I heard him growl annoyed.
“You’re gonna regret that, Ari, when I get inside.I am going to punish you.” I laughed back at him.Deciding he would find me in his office, I ran back downstairs and into the kitchen.Reid was no longer at the door.
“Where did he go?”
“I have no idea, but you better hope he doesn’t find you,” Mitch chuckled.I heard banging.Looking through the window I see Ryder/Reid had jumped on to the lower part of the roof.Whoops didn’t think about the windows.I knew as soon as he was out of sight of the kids he would shift back and climb through a window.I looked at Zane for help, but he put his hands up.
“Don’t look at me.I’m staying out of it.”
Christine nodded towards the walk-in pantry.Just as she closed the door, I heard Reid landing on the floor in one of the upstairs rooms.
Everyone darted out of the kitchen, leaving me in the pantry.It didn’t take long before the pantry doors were thrown open and a not happy Alpha was staring down at me with his arms folded across his chest.
“I see you found some clothes,” I nervously giggled.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself at my expense.” Reaching forward he gripped my wrist, making me smack into his rock-hard chest before he threw me over his shoulder.
“How very caveman of you.” He stormed out of the kitchen and past everyone, who were now sitting on the lounge in the games room.I could hear Reid muttering to himself while I flailed around trying to make him put me down.
He didn’t let me go, and much to my embarrassment as we were walking past everyone, his hand slapped my arse.I flinched at the impact of his huge hand coming down on my arse, making me hiss at the sting.Did he just spank me?Zane smirked, shaking his head and waved at me.I, in turn, flipped him the finger.Reid started climbing the stairs with me still half upside down over his shoulder.On the plus side, I got a nice view of his ass.Returning the favour, I slapped it.He grunted before slapping my arse even harder.“Do that again, and you won’t be able to sit for a week.”
“You’re a brute, you know that?” I could feel the vibration of him laughing.My belly was starting to hurt as his shoulder pressed into it.Just as I was about to demand he put me down, he kicked the bedroom door open and dumped me on the mattress, making me shriek.Reid stood looking down at me.
“You think what you did was funny?” he asked, tilting his head to the side.His lips turned up and into a menacing smile.Excitement ran through me.I couldn’t help the smile that crept onto my face as I nodded my head.His smile didn’t waver, and it sent a chill down my spine.I laughed at his expression.I couldn’t tell if he wanted to kiss me or kill me.He raised an eyebrow at me and clicked his tongue.Gripping my ankle, he yanked me towards the end of the bed.
Chapter 22
Aria’s POV
Reid grabbed my otherankle and flipped me over so I was belly down on the bed.I squirmed, trying to break his hold on my ankles.Reid growled at me warningly before gripping my hips and pulling them towards him.My feet were forced to the ground while the rest of my body was draped over the bed.Lifting myself up onto my elbows, he forced me back down.Pushing his hand between my shoulder blades to hold me in place.
Reid then pushed his groin into me.I could feel the bulge of his erection pressing against my ass.Stepping back a bit, he ran his other hand up my thigh.Stopping at my shorts, his fingertips moving along my panty line between my legs teasingly, sending delightful shivers to my core.Removing his hand from beneath my shorts, he started rubbing my arse, making me quiver everywhere he touched.I could feel my underwear becoming moist.I pushed into his hand, shaking my ass at him.
His palm came down, connecting with my ass cheek.I could feel his handprint burning into my flesh.It stung, but it also turned me on even more.Reid rubbed his hand over where he slapped.His hand then finding its way back into my shorts, using his fingers, he pushed my panties to the side before sliding his fingers between my wet lips.Reid bent over me; I could feel his breath on my neck below my ear.
“You liked that?” he growled, before shoving his finger inside me, making me moan out loud.Pulling his finger out slowly, he pushed another finger inside me.My body quivered at his touch, becoming more aroused.I want more.
Then his fingers were gone, his touch was gone.Rolling over, I looked up at him.Reid’s eyes were glazed over, telling me he was mind-linking someone.The look on his face was pure rage.His eyebrows furrowed together.His canines protruded.Hair was spreading across his arms.I watched as his nails turned into claws.His breathing got deeper and faster.He was fighting himself for control.A terrifying growl ripped through him, vibrating through his chest.I flinched and pulled away.His eyes darting to me.The glazed look left instantly.His eyes softened.Reid walked towards the door.Getting to my feet, I went to follow him.
Just as I was about to ask what was going on, he spun around.His eyes pinning me to the spot.
“You stay here, and don’t leave this room.”
“What’s going on Reid?”
“Nothing you need to know about.Just for once do as your bloody told.” He walked out the door, pulling it closed behind him.I heard the latch click over.He locked the door.Rolling my eyes at his abrupt change of mood.I don’t know why he expects the door to keep me in.Maybe a deterrent, but it isn’t Hybrid proof.Deciding to give him a head start at whatever was bothering him, I opened my mind feeling for Wendy through the link.I could feel her wolf.It was restless.
“Wendy, why has Reid locked me in the room?What is going on?”
Wendy didn’t answer straight away.I could tell she was trying to fight my Alpha command.
“Wendy, do not make me ask again.” I could feel every fibre of her being trying to shake off the command, but she wouldn’t be able to hold for much longer.Her wolf was whining, wanting her to give into me, and she did.
