2024-10-29 19:42:56The three of them watch me, the vampires smiling eerily whilst Calli looked lost. “I have no time for this, we need to get Christian” whatever they were thinking, it could wait.
The men nod “Lets move” whilst Calli stays frozen to the spot, her eyes on every movement I make when she suddenly drops to her knees at my feet
“My Queen, I apologise for everything”
Pulling her up, I tell her not to call me Queen, why everyone was so set on calling me it, I do not know. “Calli, just call me Ashley”. I watch the men exchange glances but they say nothing “Or you can call me Rudina”
Calli nods her head but doesn’t speak and follows us as we move. Breydon orders the other vampires to split up as we steadily move through the forest, sending them to different areas, they all knew what was expected of them. Breydon informs me it was so that we could move forward in a circle that enclosed Daryl&rsqu

“Let him go” I glare at him, making my intentions clear“No Ash” Daryl smirked at me and again I glance at Christian whose eyes were wide as he shook his head at me, did he not understand that I was here to free him“I will not ask you again Daryl”His smirk turns into a grin “Make me”I call Reaper forward but nothing happens, not even a hint of the usual darkness I felt, she had gone silent on me and Daryl continues to grin at me knowingly. “What have you done?”“Nothing, but if I remember correctly, you cannot shift around me. At least one part of the spell worked”. I realised why Christian was shaking his head at me now, I was powerless around Daryl, almost human.Daryl moves towards me and I back away. “Don’t touch me Daryl”“I don’t need to, because you are going to mark me or lover boy here will die”. I try to keep
Alpha Daryl 68. A true friend
No, no, this can’t be happening, this cannot be happening. “Christian, you can’t die, I need you, you can’t leave me”. I shake his body vigorously and yet nothing happens, his eyes remain closed and eventually I give up and rest my head against his blood soaked tshirt hoping and begging the Moon Goddess not to let him die. “He will not die my dear child” I spin around to the voice, to find someone that looked exactly like the woman in the portrait, my mother, her body transparent with a white glow around her. “What, what are you?” I stutter as her body becomes solid, her amber eyes, bright like my own. A smile spreads across her face, “Do you not recognise me dear child?” she reaches a hand out and cups my cheek, an odd sensation but as I go to grab it, my own hand falls right through. “I am your mother, the Moon Goddess sent me here as she knows you are in turmoil”. She drops her hand “He will survive Rudina, you have done all you can and now h

Resting my hand on his chest, I could just about feel his heart pulsating, the slow and steady beat meaning he really was alive and I finally breathe a sigh of relief after feeling like I had been holding my breath, I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I had lost him too.Tasha closes the door behind us, sealing the three of us in. “What can I do to help Ashley?”“There is nothing you can do we just need to wait but he alive”, I give her a small smile“What about Daryl?”“I don’t know, I feel like I have lost, I can’t shift around him, but it has to be me that kills him” Moving my hand to grip Christians, the sparks travel through our skin to skin contact in waves, stronger this time and his fingers involuntarily wrap around my own.“You cannot give up Ashley, not after everything you have been through, you cannot let that man win”“I wish it was a
Alpha Daryl 70. A triple threat
“Excuse me” we break apart, getting caught up in the moment both of us had completely forgotten about Tasha, who was currently looking the other way with her hands over her eyes “Can you guys at least save it for later?”Christian lets out a hearty laugh which was strange to hear, it was only minutes ago that he had been laid motionless on the bed “Who is the human?” he murmurs against my neck, his breathe fanning out over my skin as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me in, my back pressing against his chest sending a shiver through me.I was about to introduce her, when she stretches out a hand towards us “My name is Tasha, you must be Christian, it is nice to finally meet you” she has a big grin on her face.Christian tenses “You’re bold for a human!”“I wouldn’t have gotten this far in life if I wasn’t”“And what are you doing here?” Christi

‘Did you know Reaper?’ She doesn’t respond immediately. ‘Reaper, did you know?”I had a feeling, but I couldn’t be certain, I haven’t seen any powers or felt anything different‘Is that why Paige froze and didn’t fight back because she is a witch?’Maybe, that might be why her and Amber poisoned us they knew that they stood no chance against our true self but they are not purebreds, they are those other witches ‘Wiccans’.I have to tell Christian, I have to tell him everything that Marco had just told me, how it was Daryl’s family that had killed my parents, killed my entire family so that Maddox could take me and keep me until I was old enough to be handed over to Daryl. Maddox must have known what would happen if I ever managed to escape, but I did exactly that and ended up in the arms of a psychopath, the very man that killed Maddox. Did he kill Maddox becau

Walking out of the bedroom, I keep my hand locked with Christians whilst Tasha trots along beside us. Marco had already said he expected my mate to be the King and I needed to show him that Christian was in fact very much alive.As we round the corner of the empty hallway we practically run into Breydon “My Queen” but he stops as he catches sight of Christian and Tasha “I thought you were dead Alpha Christian and you” he points at Tasha “How are you still alive?”Christian clears his throat, “It is a weird and wonderful thing being a hybrid”Breydon looks confused “What is it Breydon, forgot that he is like me?”“No, not at all my Queen, I am just surprised to see him standing here” he continues to give Tasha a look of annoyance and lust, he wanted her for himself“You cannot harm her Breydon, do you understand?”“Yes” he grumbles “Rud

“It’s suicide” I throw my hands up nearly smacking Christian in the jaw who barely moves out of the way in time “It is just a fucking ridiculous idea Tasha”Tasha looks down at her feet, avoiding any form of eye contact with me“She has a point Ash, Daryl is going to come for her because he knows she means something to you” Christian tries to reason with me but I don’t want to hear it.“There has to be another way, I am not letting a human go in unprotected, she will never survive”“What if I am not human, he won’t be expecting that” Tasha’s hazel eyes are wide but she speaks as if she is having a normal conversation with other humans.“Tasha, not this again, I can’t, I won’t, I do not want to change you”I push through them and leave the three of them with the other werewolves, I couldn’t make anyone like me and I did not want t
Alpha Daryl 74. Lucian
“Lucian, this is a private meeting”Has Breydon not seen Marcos head?The guy rolls his eyes and moves to the open end of the table, throwing Marco’s head towards us, until it lands with a thud on the severed neck inches away from me, Marco’s eyes wide in fear.“Thought you might want this” Lucian walks away“STOP!” I call out to him, I needed to know what had happened to Marco.Lucian looks back over his shoulder a smirk on his face and carries on walking. What the fuck just happened, he somehow managed to ignore my order, the first person to have done that.Glancing at Marco’s face, I want to puke, as much as I had killed people, seeing just a head had my stomach doing backflips.It’s the humanity in youBut it was too late, I was running towards the bin and just about make it in time when Breydon appears next to me as I wipe my face “Would you l

A few months has passed since all the craziness with Lucian. Things had settled down massively, well, apart from being thrown into motherhood and raising triplets. I was just glad I wasn’t doing it on my own.Daryl was still getting used to having a smaller pack. Although he had already been out trying to recruit other packs that were smaller than ours. Some had accepted whereas others had told him where to go. The pack was still much smaller than the average wolf pack with less than a hundred people now after many had lost their lives in the fight against my brother, but he was certain he would make it great again. After all, he really wanted to pass on an almighty pack to Daryl Junior, the eldest of the triplets.In just a few months the three of them had grown quite quickly, instead of being like three-month-olds, they looked more like eighteen month olds and certainly liked to keep me busy and on my toes, especially since they were already walking and running. I assumed they were

More bullets come as I keep low, the stench of Lucian’s blood filling the air as he hovers above me. With each bullet, I am splattered in his blood, but it continues to do little more than slow him down.“You have not learnt a thing!” he roars at me as his claws wrap around my neck, lifting me from the ground.I should have been afraid, scared for my own life as I faced death when he suddenly stills. My feet dangling in the air at least ten inches from the ground. His deep amber eyes staring into mine, but he was quiet, no sound was coming from Lucian and yet everyone around us was yelling.His claws pierced the skin of my neck, my own blood trickling down over my cool skin as I watched Lucian’s nostrils flare. He was enjoying my scent, like it was something he had been longing for. This was not in my plan.His teeth sink into my shoulder as I let out a scream, and I see people charging towards Lucian. Daryl was shouting out something about protecting the Luna.Lucian’s jaw refuses to

“I will stop this.” I try to reassure the tiny beast in my arms, but I still didn’t know if I could even kill him, if it was even possible.“She will never be yours!” Lucian’s voice howls around us making Natasha’s little beast cling to me harder. Her tiny claws piercing my skin as they dug into me, her body trembling as his voice echoes around us.“Drop the spell.” I whisper to the small beast. Lucian was using her to put the spell around the dungeons, to stop others from getting any closer, but she was still a baby, could she even understand what I was saying? Could my reassurance be enough?Her small furry body continues to tremble against mine until it suddenly stops, momentarily scaring the crap out of me. When I hear soft snuffles coming from her and gently turn her head. She had fallen asleep on me. She had gone from a terrified little beast to one in a deep sleep, she had needed me so much more than I had ever known, and I feel a shift inside of me. The need to protect her, no

“It’s not that simple is it. I may have some magical abilities, but he still has years over me. Years of training, years of knowledge, years of planning what he calls his redemption.”“But there is something he possibly didn’t account for. A mother’s love, a mate’s love. The fact that a whole pack will be right behind you.”It just didn’t seem true. Maybe I had been looking at this all wrong and it wasn’t just my fight anymore.“Then how am I supposed to make myself stronger?”“You already know Ash, look at the things you have been capable of. Personally, I don’t think you give yourself enough credit.”I was completely soaked from the heavy rain as I stared up into his amber eyes, the blue flecks shining brightly through the storm. It wasn’t just me that had changed but it seemed like he had too. His once sulky and moody self had mellowed out.“What ever happens Ash, you have three babies that need you.”I slowly bob my head, he was right, but I had still left them to check on my best

No one stops me, no one even comes after me as I race through the forest towards her house. She had to be here, it was where it had all started.As I break out of the forest, I see it, her small house sitting on the opposite side of the road. A trail of blood leading up the few steps as the door sat open. Anyone could walk in here, anything could have found her.Creeping towards the house, I knew the trail of blood belonged to her. It was dry though and had been sat here for a while, but it didn't remove her scent.“Tasha?” I call out her name as I step in through the front door, hoping for some kind of response but I was met with silence and what was worse is the trail of blood ended in the middle of the room. There was nothing, no body, no pool of dried red, but more importantly there was no sound.The floorboards didn’t creak like I was used to, no weird smell from all the herbal teas she had scattered around.“Can you hear her?” I mutter to Reaper. I didn’t even know why I was ask

The omega keeps her head low, not speaking as she remained in the room. She was our biggest risk right now; she was the only one to know that I had had a third baby and I couldn’t have her revealing that information, not to anyone.“You can’t say anything!” I plead with her, hoping that she would understand.“They need to be checked over.” She mumbles back at me and Daryl shakes his head“Kiera, you cannot tell anyone, you cannot share the news of Ash having a third child. Do you understand?” He was using his Alpha tone, a tone that I was only to familiar with.The omega gulps, her eyes wide as she slowly nods her head.“I need you to say it Kiera!”“I won’t tell anyone, but how are you going to hide her, what if she is a poorly pup?”Daryl looks between me and the omega as I gently rock our little girl.“Kiera, you will become Ashley’s personal maid. You will do nothing else in the house except for helping Ash and tending to the children and monitoring any changes in them!”“But the

“For you!” Lucian punches the stone wall of his cell, splitting the skin on his knuckles which heals instantly.“I don’t understand”“Of course you don’t sister.” He laughs manically as he tries to pull the bars apart. I was glad Daryl had reinforced them.“You weren’t to know I was going to have children.”He looks at me from the corner of his eye. I was so stupid, I had told him of the vision, the one where I was left alone with twins, the one where Daryl was not in the picture. How could I have been so stupid?“You told me that not all visions were correct that some were just created in my own mind!”“Yes, but I saw that vision too, sister. Getting into your head was much easier than you trying to get into mine. Any time your wolf was dormant, it left an opening. A chance for me to see everything!”“Just kill him Ash” Daryl links me"Whicjh is why you wanted Amber to trap me?"He starts clapping."About time you figured that out."“You would never have found me without Daryl!” I ye

The omega hands her to me, she was much smaller than the boys with tufts of dark hair that matched Daryl’s, bright amber eyes peeping out under her eyelids.I still didn’t understand, the doctor had shown me the monitor, pointed out the two boys, how could he have missed a third baby or even a third heartbeat.Silent tears run down my face as I look at the three of them, how could I protect them? How could I protect my daughter from my brother? He was so set on taking her.“You did well.” The omega smiles at me as she drapes something over my legs, but I glance at the door. I had a bad feeling growing in the pit of my stomach.“He’s coming.” I mutter.There is fear on the omegas face as her eyes widen and her body stills.“You’re scared of him?”“Every omega is.” She sits next to me.“You know I’m not talking about Daryl, don’t you?”She nods her head and mutters Lucian’s name back to me.“What did he do to you?”He didn’t have anything to do with the omegas.“You don’t know?” she que

It was strange after experiencing Amber's world!Being able to run through Lucian’s mind with his beast chasing me was something I had never considered happening, nor did I think it was even possible and yet here I am. To be in someone’s mind was almost disgusting, you never know what they might be hiding and it was apparent that Lucian had been hiding alot.I had never bothered to ask the name of his beast, but something tells me it’s up there like mine. Reaper, another name for death and she certainly did have a dark side.“Tell me where she is!” I scream as I continue to run.“Give us your daughter!”“I have already told Lucian, they are boys, no females.”“You lie! I can smell it. You are carrying a girl!”Here I had no bump, if anything my stomach was flatter than flat. Was this how Lucian really saw me?He chases me through the greyness of Lucians mind. There was no colour, like he only saw things a certain way. Anytime I get a chance to grab something to throw, I do. Lucian con
