Alpha Rylan 37
"She's dead," I breathe. "He killed her."It took a moment for Rylan to register what I meant. While he blankly stares at me, I realise how badly my heart hurts. Lucy, my baby sister. It's not fair. "Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry," Rylan apologises. I'm glad he isn't bringing anything else up, instead letting me fall into his arms in grief. He could ask who did it, and why, but instead he only holds me, letting me finally cry. I'm still numb. I know this is just an automatic reaction, that won't hit until later, when I notice her absence for real. Right now though, I have no idea how to handle this all. Not until I can look Kaden and the eye and ask him why. All of a sudden, a knock on the door draws me away from Rylan, as I wipe my tears away. It's the doctor."We haven't found any clear reason as to why she wasn't woken," the doctor informs us solemnly. I grit my teeth. If Millicent doesn't wake up, this will never end. I'll never be able to escape the confines of the Vengeance Pack. Sh

*Two Weeks Later*~Dawn"She's your sister, Dawn, why are you so worried?"I can't explain it. The idea of my sisters being risen from the dead is daunting. Will she look the same? Will she get her body back? Nothing in my mind is coming together to make sense at all. Instead, it has me stressing out that the sister I knew won't be the same when Death brings her back. Lucky for me, I won't have to meet Death. From what has been described of her, she doesn't seem like the...nicest immortal to exist. "It's so many things," I mutter, looking up at Rylan who crouches in front of where I sit, hands on my knees. He's been there for me all week. If I hadn't gotten Lucy back, I don't know what would have happened to me. I doubt I would be here, that's for sure. "Everything will be fine. Once she is here, we will go back to the Purity Pack, life will be restored, and we can attend the mating ceremony," he says. I know he is trying to be reassuring, but the cold, dark feeling in my stomach
Alpha Rylan Epilogue
~RylanDear Rylan,I know this is hard to hear, after everything. It's not as simple to explain as I thought it would be, when I picked up this pen to write to you. I've always known that you were too good for me, and that you deserve better. I know you won't agree with me right now, but one day you will realise. The decision was made when you marked me. I knew then.I will leave, and neither of us will get sick. Sadness is a given, but we can survive that, and move on. I ask you please not to pursue us. Lucy and I can't be here, but you must. I can't explain it, I just have to ask you to trust me, and to understand that I don't belong here. Someone once told me that no one should feel justified to stay with their mate. You can hate me. I understand. What you don't just yet, is the reason why I have to do this. At the end of the day, it's to protect Lucy. Here, I can't do that. Thank you for trying. I'll miss you, mate. DawnI crush the note within my fist, having found it on
Alpha Rylan Prologue
~ Dawn"This really has become a trend now, hasn't it?"The men stand in a tight semicircle in front of me, watching my every move with wary eyes. For whatever reason, they are trying to act as if their fingers don't quiver on their weapons, their feet ready to take a step backwards if it came down to it.Once upon a time, there were five men, however, I whittled it down to four. By accident, of course.The commander-in-chief stood in the middle, the staff in his hand, carved out of dark wood, sharpened at the tip with a metal cuff for holding at the base. Purity Pack members are against using firearms, or even silver. Right now, though, I can see he wants to use such weapons on me, and go against the Alpha's rules."Get to your knees," the sternness in his voice wavering with every word.My eyes roll unintentionally at the predictiveness of those for words. Commander Burke doesn't

~DawnThis is dangerous. This is dangerous and stupid.The reason why I decided to do this is primarily related to the lack of entertainment I get from the forest. Also, my incessant curiosity won’t let me live this opportunity down.My body strength from climbing trees all day allows me to heave my body weight onto the concrete structure, my feet coming under me, so I am crouching. I won’t make the mistake of standing up; the shadows will only conceal me so much.Today, I’ve decided to take Commander Burke’s delivered note from the Alpha into c

~DawnIt took me at least two minutes to figure out where I was when I next opened my eyes.I haven’t stared at a ceiling in a long time. There has also never been something so comfortable and soft underneath me, or warm wrapped around me, since I ran away. The feeling is awfully daunting, and for a good moment, I am paralysed. And not from the drugs Rylan’s little team must have feed me last night.I sit up slowly, rubbing a mildly aching head. This is the first time I have let Rylan get to me. I shouldn’t have went in for the meeting...I know better then that.

~Dawn“As if.”“Come on…”“No.”“Why not?”I sigh. “I said no.”“That not an answer.”A year was enough time for Rylan to become even more infuriating. Right now, he has decided he wants me to accompany him to dinner tonight, at some fancy restaurant he enjoys. Personally, sitting in
Alpha Rylan 4
~DawnThe restaurant was beautiful.It has been too long since I have had a taste of what civilisation looks like, but wealth? This place may be simple and quaint, yet I still see the little things that make it worth more than I could ever fathom. From the richly coloured table and classic art work strung on the wall. It made sense that this is one of Rylan's favourite places to go.The warmth from blazing, crackling fireplace to my left makes me aware of how warm it is in here. Shackles of heat wrap around my wrists, making me increasingly nervous.I feel Rylan's hand on the small of my back. "Shall we sit?"The queasy feeling building in my stomach wants to be expressed, however, I keep my mouth firmly shut. If I say something, I may anger Rylan, and that isn't going to get me any closer to Lucy. My poor little sister must be freezing outside, and h
