Hunted *Book One Of The Hunted Series*

Chapter 13: New Hybrid

"I am"

I glance up and watch as Abigail steps forward, staring at Malia.

Shifting back, Malia holds a hand out to Abbey.

Stepping forward, Abbey grips her hand tight and stares in her eyes.

"Are you sure? Once you're a hybrid you can't go back. Do you understand?" Malia questions in her deep voice.

Abbey nods and steps closer, wrapping her arms around her.

"I'm positive. I know what's to be expected. I've basically seen you grow from that half dead lycan to this strong and confident hybrid. Why wouldn't I be?" Abbey states.

Malia frowns but hugs her tighter, I hear Kayla shuffle forward, not liking Abbey hugging whats hers.

"Ok. Let's do this then." Malia says, releasing her hold.

Stepping back, she shifts and sits.

Waiting.

Abbey takes a deep breath and meets my stare.

I nod at her and take my place behind Malia, in case she can't control herself.

Abbey walks towards her and runs her fingers through Malia's fur, slowly bringing her muzzle to her neck. Malia whimpers but licks the spot where she'll inject her venom.

I rub her neck and she wraps a big hairy arm around Abbey, bringing her flush against her.

This is it.

Suddenly Malia bites down, bring a surprised gasp from Abbey.

I watch as Abbey grips her fur and struggles to breathe.

I dig my fingers into Malia's fur and gently tug, watching her release Abbey from her bite.

Malia shifts back with Abbey in her arms, lowering them to the ground.

I slide to the ground and rub Malia's back as she places her face in her neck.

"Good job." Jon states, a grin in his voice. Malia nods but doesn't move her face.

Abbey is shaking and groaning but her heart is racing, fear seeping from her pores.

"I know it hurts. You have to be strong. You have to fight the lycan and vampire venom. I'm right here with you. Just breathe." Malia whispers to her.

I watch as Abbey takes a deep breath and her eyes pop open, blood red eyes staring back at me, a smile on her face.

Suddenly a deep growl leaves her chest and Malia pushes me away, turning Abbey in her arms she stands.

She doesn't have that well of a grip because Abbey turns in her arms and knocks her clean off of her.

My eyes widen. Holy shit she's strong.

"Abbey, relax. I don't want to have to hurt you." Malia growls out, body visibly shaking.

Abbey snarls at her and shifts into a white as snow lycan . Malia's eyes widen and a surprised gasp leaves.

She's to young to shift at will.

I watch as Abbey sprints towards Malia. Malia only having less than a second to brace herself before the newly turned lycan crashes into her, causing Malia to shift as they tumble to the ground.

I quickly move to stand infront of the humans.

Malia and Abbey tumble across the open field, taking up chunks of grass, knocking trees over, crushing rocks.

Abbey gets the upper hand and slams Malia into the ground before taking a bite out of her neck.

Malia lets out a loud ground shaking howl, causing Abbey to release her and shift back, breathing hard, confusion on her face.

"Malia? Oh my God, Malia! I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I tried to stop but I couldn't." Abbey cries into her shoulder.

Malia growls and slowly stands, bring Abbey up with her.

She slowly shifts back, minding her arm.

"It's ok. I'm good. I should've chained you up. Your reaction was normal. Your hybrid felt attacked and your senses were in attack mode. You got a mean bite, i'll give you that." Malia states in her deep voice, flinching as she pops her shoulder back in place so the muscle and tissues can heal properly.

Kayla being sure to avoid the newborn hybrid, runs over to Malia and checks her shoulder.

Malia holds her closer and whispers she's fine. Kayla nods and nuzzles her face in her neck.

Abbey sniffles and rubs at her eyes. Kayla frowns and walks over to the newly changed pup, rubbing the tears off her cheek.

"It's ok. You did wonderful. Malia is fine. Stop crying." Kayla says, rubbing Abbey's face. Abbey nods and sniffles before smiling.

She'd make a beautiful luna to a pack.

"Alright, who's next?"

April, Chey, Max and Candance all point to me.

That's fine.

Malia is going to have a handful with her newborn hybrid, one is enough.

Nodding at Terrance, he helps me change the others.

"See, I knew you guys could do it." Kiyan praises.

We all smile and watch as Abbey shifts again, minus all the anger, and sits.

Malia shifts and they blur off into the woods.

First hunt.

I nod at my vampires and they take off after them.

"Now that they're gone. Kiyan, why don't you explain to me about the danger your hunters in the back were whispering about." 

Kiyan glares at them and they shrug. He sighs.

"It's best we wait until they come back."
