62. Rudina
“Would you like to look inside?” He was stood tall and proud with his hands behind his back
His question was broken by cries and screams in the distance. As I peer at Marco, he doesn’t move, completely unphased by the noise.
“What is that?”
“The humans”
“Wait, are you holding humans hostage?”
He flashes his red eyes at me “Where do you think our food source comes from?”
“You’re draining them?”
“No, nothing of the sort. We keep them alive so they produce a constant supply of blood. They really are quite delicious, would you like to try some?”
I was disgusted “How could you keep them hostage?”
“Oh it really is quite simple my Queen, would you like to see?”
“Stop calling me that”
His face remained expressionless “But you are a Queen yes?”
He was trying to distra

“Rudina?” He nods his head at me “Then why was I called Ashley” “My guess is to hide who you really are. No one would have looked at an Ashley as you call yourself” I shake my head, “It was what Maddox called me” Marco snorts “He was the one that took you?” “Apparently he was the one who burnt down this house” A spark of anger is visible in his eyes “I will kill him, how dare he burn the house of the Royals?” “Daryl killed him” Marco’s face is blank as we look at each other “Well all things work out in the end Rudina” It was worse than calling me Queen or Luna. I had been known as Ashley my whole life, Rudina just didn’t seem to fit but I also felt like Marco would only ever call me it as he knew it was my birth name. “Marco, do you have any ideas how I can get Christian out?” “There may only be one way. Let her out” He was talking about Reaper “You are going to have to kill him Rudina. I
Alpha Daryl 64. Portrait
“No Tasha, no, just no, what are you even thinking?”She shrugs her shoulders, her eyes wide but there was something different, they were watery but not in the same way as when she had sobbed over her Dad, it was almost like she was reliving something.“I just want to help. At least it will actually look like you are feeding from me” she gives me a weak smile. She barely knew me and yet she was somehow trying to help. "won't they question it?"“Even if I wanted too, I am not sure I could control my hunger, the last time Christian literally had to peel me off the human, he was barely alive and besides, I have told them I want to keep you permanently at least then they shouldn't attack you”I watch her gulp, she tries to hide it but now with my ears and eyes getting stronger each day that passed it was impossible for me not to see it along with the sudden increase in her heart rate. She feared me.

“You were……. quite a shock”“What do you mean?”“When you were born, a baby with dark tufts of hair, you certainly were a surprise, but they loved you regardless because they knew of your strength and we have waited for you for so long”“How could they know of my strengths?”“They were once told that a baby unlike any other they have seen before, would bring the Royals to ultimate power”“Who told them?”He finally takes his eyes off the paperwork to look at me“You did”I was completely stunned “How, how could I have told them?”“The rumour was that you visited them in a dream, both your mother and father had the same dream about you, but you were older than what you are now”.“How is that even possible?”“I am just a simple vampire who believes in the Royal blood line
Alpha Daryl 66. Family secrets
The 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
Alpha Daryl 67. The final heartbeat
“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
Alpha Daryl 69. Hunger
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
