Daryl leads my hesitating body upstairs, when I keep pausing, he gives up waiting for me, carrying me the remainder of the way.The bathtub was already full, steam rising from the bubbly water. The last time I had a bath, I had tried to do something stupid, and I was surprised he was letting me have another one. I feel him step behind me, his fingers lifting the hem of my top.“Stop panicking, I’m right here”I didn’t even know that I was panicking, not until he told me, and he tells me to take a few deep breaths. I raise my arms as he pulls my top up over my head, he didn’t even have to ask me. As he finishes lowering my shorts and panties he steps into the bath himself, making me wonder when he had taken off his own clothes.I watch as he lowers his muscly body into the hot water. tensing as the hot water hit his sensitive parts. Holding a hand out for me, I take it, carefully stepping into the bath. He positions himself so that I am sat between his legs, an all to familiar feeling.
I turn in the rain to see him, the very man I had asked to come here. The only person to call me Rudina since I was found. To top it off, he was the last man I wanted to see, fucking Christian!His hands are in his pockets as he carefully watches me, not making any sudden movements, the rain running down over his face as his eyes search mine. He repeats his words and yet I cannot find the right ones to reply, I wanted to tell him where to go, I wanted to tell him to fuck off and yet he was the only one to actually know who I am, to have a sense of the identity crisis that I seemed to be having.I let the cold rain hit my skin without wiping it away. Looking up into the dark clouds, I could see that a storm was on its way, I could feel it. I knew others were watching me now, I could sense their eyes burning into me, probably wondering what mad cow would stand barefoot in the rain.All my senses seemed so much stronger than normal, and I start shaking my head at Christian “Go away Chris
Hi everyone, thank you so much to those that have patiently waited for part two. I really appreciate it, for those that are confused, I hope things begin to make more sense for you and that you are happy with the story, there is still so much more to tell. AT the monent updates will be a little slower for the rest of this month as I tie up another book of mine, which you can find under my author name. So as it stands, update days will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays/ Sundays, if I can do more then I will, but until the end of May this is how it will be unless I can get the other book finished earlier. Once again, thank you so much for reading, I do really appreciate each and every reader Taylor West
Glaring at him, Daryl just ignores me, making himself comfortable as we wait for the Doctor to return.“So now you’re not going to talk to me?” he raises an eyebrow at me, but I remain silent. Daryl, Christian, they all seemed to be arseholes in this world, and I didn’t want anything to do with them.He stays by me, refusing to leave me alone, making the odd comment about the things I had been doing, and I continue to remain silent. I knew the silent treatment was starting to annoy him because he began to move around the room, low rumbles coming from his chest, and I try to ignore it.“For fucks sake Ash, speak, this silence is driving me nuts!”Biting my bottom lip, his hand reaches out to me, pulling my lip down, away from my teeth. “Don’t” is all he says before letting go. His dark eyes hover on mine and I feel that intense connection. It sends a shiver down my spine and I feel the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. A growing urge inside of me, had me craving his touch and want
Rubbing the back of my head, I slowly sit up, the pain in my head was unreal. What the hell had they hit me with?“How are you feeling?”I turn to see Daryl sat in a chair next to my bed. I wasn’t in the hospital, I was in his bed, the cast still sat on my hand, but the way Daryl was watching me was frustrating, he had hit me and now was sat here like nothing had happened.His dark eyes linger on me, and I rub my head again.“You needed a few stitches, you know, because you are not healing. Try to leave it alone.”How could he be like this, how could he act so caring and yet be a total dickhead at the same time, and not only that, he was also the one who hit me and now he was making it out to be my fault!!“Are you playing some sort of game?” he had to be, to be acting so differently all the time, it must be some sort of game.“I’m not the one lying or hiding things” his dark eyes pierce into my own.“If you think that I’m doing that, just let me go, I can find my own way.”“Why would
“We will be fine” Reaper mutters but it isn’t aimed at me, she is talking to herself, trying to keep herself calm because if I was losing my wolf abilities then I was dying, and she would be dying too.I must have looked scared because Daryl holds my hand, his thumb gently running across the back. His head hung low, his eyes focussing on the hand he held, but his leg was jigging, his heel tapping the floor, he was nervous.Daryl tries to get me to eat and drink but I didn’t want anything, what was the point if I was dying.“Please Ashley, please don’t give up, it took me long enough to find you.”The Doctor that had been treating me appears with another man, he was over six foot tall easily, with short bright blonde hair and a clean-shaven face, but more importantly, he was not someone that I had seen before.“Alpha Daryl” he shakes his hand and then turns to me “You must be Luna Ashley” he looks at my hand thats in a cast and frowns asking my doctor for my notes, but I couldn’t help
Lucian quickly gets to work, removing the feeding tube from my throat as blood continues to spurt up from my throat.“It’s more than wolfsbane.” Lucian scowls as nurses come in and start clearing up the blood but it was no use, I was projecting blood quicker than they could clean it up and Lucian sends them out. I wanted to ask him what was happening but every time I opened my mouth, more blood just spilled out.“What is happening?!” Daryl roars as he rubs my back, he tells me to breathe, but as the blood continues to come, I start to feel woozy, the room spinning, Daryl blurs into Lucian and Christian appears, their voices merging with one another as I feel a tightness in my heart, like someone had a hold on it, and they were crushing it.“It hurt’s Ashley, it hurts” Reaper calls out to me, but she sounds so far away, and everything goes dark.“Ashley, can you hear my voice, squeeze my hand.” Daryl’s voice echoed around me, sounding like he was near and far at the same time. I couldn
“I want to go to my parent’s home Daryl!” I huff, folding my arms across my chest as I glared at him.“It’s not a good idea sister, it is overrun by vampires now.”“I thought…..” I trail off as Daryl asks Lucian questions about his life“So where do you live?”“Nowhere and everywhere, I go wherever I want, when I please.” He smiles at me, his amber eyes bright, “You are more than welcome to join me sister, but I don’t think it will be the life for you.”“Vampires!” I mutter to myself. It was like they were both ignoring the problem that vampires posed, especially to the wolves, or maybe it was because the vampires had shown no sign of attacking yet.“Just leave it Ash, if we stay out of our way, they stay out of ours.”“Is it true Lucian?”“You have lost me, is what true?”“I am the heir to the Royal throne?”He glances away and Daryl tells me it’s not something I need to worry about, and I realise that they have already spoken about it.“Just tell me Lucian!” I was getting snappy now
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
