43. Angering the Alpha
After a couple of days, things started to make sense again. I understood now that Paige had poisoned me because I had challenged her over her feelings towards Daryl, it turned out the little dab of wolfsbane worked in keeping Daryl out of my head but not in helping me to heal, it was why the poison was having such a bad effect on me because I was unable to heal and it was clear Paige knew exactly what she was doing when she offered me that banana that was laced in poison.
Christian and Daryl had taken it in turns to stay with me and Daryl had forgiven me for not having a clue who he was and for choosing Christian over him but only once he found out the severity of what the poison could do to me. Christian was still finding it hilarious that I chose him and was constantly winding Daryl up over it but now with everything happening if Daryl wasn’t with me then Christian was the only one allowed to be. For some reason Jordan wasn’t even allowed to guard me anymore and

I refused to answer any of his questions and when he told me I would be punished for refusing to obey, I just shrug my shoulders because I knew that my silence was getting under his skin.He marched me all the way to our bedroom and told me that if I wasn’t talking I could stay here until I was ready to talk. He turns and walks away, not even glancing back and pulls the door tightly shut. A few moments later it was followed by the turn of the lock. The asshole had locked me in.Fine, if he wanted to play it that way, then I would figure out a way to escape. I checked the windows but they were all locked too although there was one that he had forgotten about, the bathroom window. It was small but then so was I and I reckon I could just about fit.Climbing up onto the basin, I push the window, which just about opened all the way without swinging back on me, it was a long drop down, but anything had to be better than staying here. Carefully manoeuvring myself

“Are you sure?” I kept my words to a whisper“Yes, now we will have to play it cool”“What do you mean?”“We will need to act like we are a couple”. He keeps his voice low as his speaks, almost a whisper and I wondered how strong the vampires hearing was and if it was like wolves“Do you think they are here for me?”Christian shrugs his shoulders, “They might just be scoping out the place for their next meal”I shuddered at the idea and then remembered that I had actually enjoyed drinking blood but I was grateful I wasn’t hunting for it.Grabbing Christians arm, I smile and tell him to lead the way and try not to look in the direction Christian had. I don’t know how convincing my acting would be, but I was certainly going to try my best.Christian walks us inside the building and we take a seat, Christian sits opposite me in the large booth and
Alpha Daryl 46. Death and destruction
This was not what I had planned when Christian promised me a normal day. Matthew drops my hand, whilst the other two vampires come towards us. Christian leaves his seat and shoves Matthew out of the way, putting himself between us.“Matthew, you are being stupid, have you seen my mate, she is tiny”“Christian, step out of the way, she is a danger to us all”I watch as Matthews fangs extend along with those of his two men, their eyes firmly on Christian and I“Christian, I felt it, the dark power she holds, the power that only a Royal could hold”“I’m not….”, But Matthew cuts me off, cursing Christian for hiding my truth.“Matthew, stand down”. Christian’s eyes start turning black and I knew he was close to shifting, what was strange was how the people in the busy restaurant had now turned to face the commotion and yet they still remained silent.“What
Alpha Daryl 47. Reaper
As we arrive at the gates of Crescent pack, Daryl was already waiting for us along with Cole and Jordan. I climb out the car and he immediately runs his eyes over me wearing Christians jacket, all the way down to my bare legs.“Would you rather I left her naked?” Christians comment was snarky and I knew what he was trying to say, he was doing me a favour.“Inside” is all Daryl says and walks me to the packhouse. I couldn’t tell if he was annoyed or angry with me but he wasn’t willing to talk whilst we were outside. Some of the pack members were hovering around and giving us strange looks, well they were probably looking at me wearing just a jacket that barely covered my ass or maybe they were looking at the scars that littered my legs.Christian follows us and as we walk up into the packhouse, he pauses but Daryl tells him to come inside. We walk in silence to Daryl’s office and once inside he locks the door. “What
Alpha Daryl 48. An uncontrollable urge
It was a long night and no I don’t mean sex, we spent the night talking, mostly about us, about the shit that was going on but I still didn’t tell him that I could hear Reaper, I think right now, it would just be too much for him to know that I could hear my monster and that yes in fact we did actually mind control the humans as well as mess with the footage, which I still dont understand how we did that.Just as I was finally dropping off to sleep, Daryl turns my face to his, I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he asks me why I like being around Christian so much, I could tell the truth, or I could lie, I choose to do both and tell him that Christian listens to me and doesn’t try to shut me up when I need to speak but I fail to admit that I actually really liked Christian as more than a friend.“I am sorry Ash, I should have never doubted you” and he gently kisses me on the lips, he doesn’t try anything else and the tingly
Alpha Daryl 49. Hidden identity
The thought of drinking blood again had my emotions mixed with excitement and disgust, I had grown up living a lie, being denied what I needed to let my monster, how much had Maddox really known about me. Did he know that keeping me away from everything would keep me subdued, until recently I had never felt anything so dark.Probably, he was an asshole Ashley and if I wasn’t subdued, there was no way he would have been alive.I feel my body being lowered until it met something soft and firm “Just let her sleep, she most likely needs it after hardly sleeping last night”“You know”“Of course I know, she is my mate. She was tossing and turning all night. She still lives with what Maddox and Hayden did to her. I don’t think she will ever move on” I hear him sigh as he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear “I hoped that after Hayden’s death she would settle but with everything going on, she s
Alpha Daryl 50. Secrets
He picks up one of the prisoners and sinks his teeth into the skin easily, the blood oozing out the sides of his mouth, the sweetness in the air which was making my stomach do backflips, when Christian pauses and turns back to me, his lips are stained with blood, his eyes a deep black “We don’t have long” but I was frozen to the spot, even Reaper was speechless but my teeth started growing, I don’t know if it was because I could smell the blood or because I was becoming desperate for the crimson liquid.I kneel down next to the other man, the one who Christian had already cut for me, being so close to the taste of blood was mesmerising and I could hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, shooting one final glance at Christian, I sink my teeth into the neck of the man, letting the blood flow freely down my throat, the strength it gave me was incredible and i hold him tight to my mouth sucking in as much as I could, the feeling of power running through m
Alpha Daryl 51. Lies
I wait for ten minutes before leaving the room, I needed to make sure he was busy in the shower. I was grateful that he was respecting me for saying no but i just didnt feel safe around him anymore and I couldn't put my finger on why.Grabbing my coat, I slip out the room, listening and smelling for anyone around but thankfully there was no one. I make towards the front door only for Christian to ask me where I was going. When I turn to face him, he takes one look at my tear stained face and rushes towards me, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me against his sweat soaked body.“Ash, what happened?”I shake my head, I couldn't explain it even if I tried. I need to be alone, just me and Reaper“Reaper?”“My monster” I could barely get the words out “I don’t, I cant stay here with him”“Where are you going to go?” When I don’t answer, he tells me no
