89. Black Night
“You need to choose Ash”
“Why do I?”
“Because you clearly still have strong feelings for him. I don’t know how or why especially after he was so cruel to you”
Daryl interrupts “It was the spell”
“Yeah right. You have always been the same Daryl, everything has always been about you. Not once have you ever cared for anyone but yourself”
“Really Christian, who was there for you when Pria died from her mistake”
Christian frowns at Daryl
“What does he mean Christian?”
“Nothing?”
“You’re lying”
He sighs and pulls his hands over his face “Pria didn’t want to live in a pack anymore, she fell in love with a vampire”
I was gobsmacked. Christian had told me Matthew had killed her and as I look at him, he refuses to look at me and he grits his teeth together.

As I stand locked in place by some invisible force, I realise how Amber had somehow been the mastermind behind all of it, everything that had happened she had a part in but what she didn’t expect was for Daryl to break his own curse.The uncontrollable laughter rolls through me and I can no longer contain it, as ludicrous as it was Amber was jealous of me, a girl who had nearly lived her whole life as a slave, kept from her true self.“You’re jealous, that’s hysterical”Amber takes another step down, her race reddening in anger “There is nothing to be jealous of slave”It was the most pathetic insult I had ever heard and I had been called some truly horrific things over the years, being called a slave, well that was just telling me what I once was.The pressure on my body tightens and lifts me off the ground, it started to feel like I was being crushed, my organs being squashed by the pressure.

Alpha Daryl 91. Two souls
Taking a deep breath, I feel my ribs shift a little, they were slowly healing and although we heal quickly the process still hurts.Lucian drops to his knee in front of me “I promise you Queen Rudina, I will stand by you as our Queen”He was pledging an oath to me making me slightly uncomfortable and the others enter and copy Lucian except Daryl who watches on with a frown on his face. When Tasha and Christian have finished telling me their oaths I look at Daryl“You don’t have too”. I was still sceptical about Daryl, his blue eyes held a sadness as he gazed at me“It’s not that Ashley, I am without a wolf. I do not know how much of a benefit I can be to you, I am practically human”All I could do was nod, it was true, the vampires would tear him apart in minutes as he no longer had the capability to heal.“Then why are you even here?” Christian snapsDaryl looks around the r

Daryl welcomes my hug, although a little stiff at first he settles into it “What are you saying Ashley, you want me?”“Yes, but Reaper wants Christian”Holding me at arms length he looks into my eyes, sparks erupting between us as his dark curls fall over his face “I am not sure what that means but after all that I have done? You still want me”I nod, “We want both of you”“That will not work Ashley”“There is only one way to find out”I tug him downstairs looking for Christian and find him with Lucian and Tasha. Christian looks between Daryl and I his eyes flashing to black for a moment. Tasha and Lucian make their excuses and leave but it was obvious from Tasha what they were really up too.“You have chosen him, the man without a wolf”“Not exactly”Christian snorts “What does that even mean?”“I am

“I’m sorry Lucian but I can’t. My life is here now”He screws his face up in disbelief “This place?”“What’s wrong with it, I love it, its small and cosy”“You could live in a mansion”“Maybe I don’t want to, besides I have built a life for me here”. Yes I was desperate to see Tasha, I missed her the most but I couldn’t go back.“Ash, you cannot live like a human, no matter how much you want to, you are not one of them”Flopping down on the sofa next to him I groan “Why are you really here?”He glances at me “I have told you a million times Ash, you are a Queen, you need to accept that”“No, I don’t”I know I was being stubborn and he was right, it was hard pretending to be human, some days I would make my way out of town to the forests and shift, only for a few minutes to feel t

“Are you still an Alpha?”“No”“Then why are we going to Crescent pack”“Because that is where Christian is at the moment”I take in a deep breathe, another man I had not seen in five months and I wondered if he had changed as much as Daryl.“Are you two talking?”“Yes and I think you should know that I am his Beta”That was not what I was expecting to hear and it shows that by living as a human I had missed out on so much.“I will warn you Ashley, he is not the same man”“What do you mean?”“It is easier if you wait until you see him”Daryl helps me to pack but keeps his mouth shut and I feel like he is holding something back“Ready?”He picks up my small suitcase and leads the way down the stairs and to a large car where Lucian is waiting. As I climb in the back he tells me
Alpha Daryl 95. Protector
She has a huge grin on her face as she rubs her swollen belly, Lucian wasn’t wrong, she looked ready to explode.“It wouldn’t be chaos if you were not here”Daryl pulls off his jacket without missing a beat and stands in front of me, using the jacket as a sort of shield as I shift back. He raises an eyebrow at me as I slide my arms into the sleeves but doesn't look down at my nakedness“She’s not wrong is she”.Thankfully the jacket is massive on my small frame and covers everything as he zips it up and as he moves out the way he reveals Tasha who wraps her arms around me awkwardly because her bump is too big.“It’s true then”“It is”“Why didn’t you tell me?, you could have mind linked me”“I was forbidden”“What? By whom?”, But I already had a feeling I knew who.“Christian”He

“Why are you ignoring me?”“I am not, you wanted to talk so talk”We glare at each other for a few minutes, he had clearly been ignoring me since I had arrived.“I know you can feel our connection Christian”“It does not matter, I am with Chloe and I care about her very much”“But you don’t love her”He looks away from me to the pile of paperwork on his desk “This is what you have come to talk about?”“No. Why will you not take control of them?”“Has Daryl not filled you in? I am not a Queen”He was cold and unwelcoming, not like the Christian I had grown to love. He looks up at me when I don’t respond and narrows his eyes“Why are you not speaking?”“It is hard when you have someone screaming in your head”Reaper was giving me a headache and it was taking every cell of
Alpha Daryl 97. Stubborn
You couldn’t miss him, he was talking to what looked like a group of vampires not far from the packhouse but when he sees my tear stained face he immediately comes to me wrapping his arms around me“What did he do?”As I speak through sobs he tells me to calm down because he couldn’t understand a word I was saying.“Did you see it?”His chest fall slightly and I knew he had.“I did, not that I needed too but Christian wanted to make a point by showing me”“I never fully understood how bad it was, I guess the days just rolled into each other”“That’s not you anymore Ashley, you have moved on, you are stronger than that”“You really think so”“I know so”We don’t move, he keeps his arms wrapped tightly around me and waits patiently for the tears to stop. He really had changed so much.“What were y
