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
Alpha Daryl 71. Parent's desire
‘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
Alpha Daryl 72. Bait
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
Alpha Daryl 73. Decisions
“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
