The Hybrid Rogue

I woke up the next morning. That being the best sleep I had. The special guest room next to mine held my mate. I smelled him all night. The scent only lingered now. I'm sure it tempted him to sneak in at some point and be a creeper. My wolf and I are laughing at the thought.

"Wanna spar? You can bring your friends." Colson must have came back late last night and is now standing in our bathroom doorway.

"I had a mountain lion last night. I can come, but not safe for anyone if I participate in sparring. Might run around and practice on my own. Can give pointers at the least, I guess." I replied. He knows that blood does that to me. Vampires come into their powers at 10. It's why my dad had me learning at 7 how to fight. Fighting without your powers is a big step and neccessary in our world. Now, I'm stronger and have my wolf powers as well. It's way different.

"Okay, fair enough. It's you, your friends, Alpha Ryanne, Betta Jaxon, Theo and myself. We are running to the training grounds for a preworkout. Keep the pace." He leaves with a quick laugh. He added that because he knows I could get there with my vamp run no problem. It's as fast as my wolf form. I just don't tell anyone or show it. He left and I got ready. Wearing a sports bra with matching leggings, I go to find my besties with Zoe matching my outfit and the guys in basketball shorts.

We had a breakfast and headed outside for a stretch before the other guys showed up. I was next to zoe stretching on the ground reaching my toes when they walked up. Theo was in front and smiling. I let out a light growl that only Zoe heard and made her look at me.

"The wifey is pregnant again! This is number 4!" He is telling us all. Why the hell do I care? I just roll my eyes and do the light growl again. Ryanne may have noticed this one and looked at Theo like he wanted to punch him. Theo has that effect on people though as is. I mean, I punched him a few good times myself as a kid. He's a Betta now which means no punching his ass.

Colson leads us on a steady jog all the way to the training field. It's a long ways but good preworkout. I'd push my gang like this a good number of times so they all could handle it which surprised the others apparently. Ryanne stayed next to me the whole time. We kept the silence the entire way.

"So, I think we trade off through out for sparring. Show eachother our fighting styles. There is 7 sparring so whoever isn't can do some laps during that time." Colson instructs. I would be instructing since I am in charge of the army as of right now, but I'm not officially apart of the pack so this is Colson's domain.

"There's 8." Theo says.

"Az isn't sparring anyone today." Colson just says cool like.

"Come on Az, I want to see what you got now that you are all grown up." Theo is going to push it too damn fast. Colson is about to respond but I jump in, "I'd kill you. I wouldn't go easy, especially with you. You will be on the ground in pain in a matter of seconds. You sure you want to try me of all people?"

"We haven't sparred since you were last here. Come on, it'd be fun."

"You mean when I was 14? I'm not some kid anymore. I fight to survive. You fight because you are told." I can feel everyone looking at me especially how I'm basically snapping at him and used my Alpha voice when saying 14.

"Ouch, sis. Sounds like you have some unfinished business with me." Theo's eye change from brown to gold. Those gold eyes are the same I saw that night. Well, there goes my answer to 'does he remember'. He definitely remembers.

"Ha, please. You?" I start to walk away to get to the weights that are set out even though they don't do much for me, but he stops me and gets to my ear. He whispers so only I hear, "hybrid pussy is just as good as a mate."

Before I knew it, I had him on the ground with my hand at his throat. Everyone else was trying to pull me off him. I started hissing. That's until Ryanne hugged me. I snapped back to reality and backed off. Looked back at Theo, he pissed himself. I smirked about that. Then I looked at Ryanne who still was holding me at arms length and with his eyes staring at me. He was worried. I could tell. They all were. Fuck, I hissed. I let this ass hole get to me.

"Well, Theo, go change and stop fucking with my hybrid sister. You know we can't always stop her from killing your ass." Colson broke the silence but still kept eye contact with me.

"Hybrid?" Ryanne looked at me. A smile and a small laugh escaped him as he started to let go. No, please don't let go yet. "Is that why I smell the blood? Your wolf and vamp?"

"And witch." Colson adds.

"Fuck. I understand Henry now. This war is more than just what I thought it was." Ryanne looks at me. "We are in this together, so why attack Theo?"

Thankfully, Theo left to the training locker rooms and the others already started to spar and talk tactics. I feel comfortable telling Ryanne anything but even what he said I know he would kill Theo for. So, I decide to tell him only part of it.

"He called me a hybrid in a rude way. He knows I don't like that. I don'ttake rudeness lightly." That's all I say as I walk over to get a pole to practice my stances in hope this ends this conversation. Obviously, it won't but Ryanne let's it go for now.

Liam is sparring Colson, Jax is sparring Zoe, Pete was doing whatever the hell that was. Pete isn't much for actual combat usually, but he's still better than a feral rogue at least. His ways work for him. Ryanne, though, was getting ready to spar with Theo, who just returned. You know that dejavu moment you get when you know something bad is about to happen again. Yup, that's this.

After a few minutes, all we see is a full out war between the two that gets all of our attention. They look ready to kill eachother. They say words as they go but we can't hear what they are saying. I hope to godess, Theo isn't dumb enough to tell him shit.

"Enough!" Colson and I say at the same time in our Alpha voices. Probably almost made Theo piss himself again. The thought makes my wolf roll over laughing like a hyena inside.

They stop and I run to Ryanne and Colson to Theo. I suggest Ryanne comes with me to practice at the other end while they switch partners for sparring.

"Whatever that was, don't." I say. While I toss a pole to him and make him show me his stances. While we go through it, he breaks our focus.

"He said something vulgar about having you before me. I lost it and I'm sorry. You clearly don't need anyone to fight your battles for you, which honestly is a major turn on for me." I blush at his words and look at the sky. Fucking Theo though. "But, I need to know. Did he?"
