“Rudina”
“Hmm”
“You fell asleep, are you okay?” Daryl continues tracing the sponge over my skin as my eyelids shoot open. Had it been a dream? I could here the worry in his voice, had I been talking in my sleep?
“Yeah, just tired. I think I am going to have a lie down”
I climb from the bath and grab a towel, the dream seemed so realistic, I had even felt every emotion as I plunged that stake into Christians chest. Yet Daryl was still with me, alive and breathing. I didn’t understand what it meant and shout to Daryl that I am getting a drink.
Heading down the hallway and into the kitchen I find my mother’s white spirit waiting, she holds a finger to her lips and looks at the door behind me and I quietly shut it.
“Did you see it child?”
“See what?
“The vision I was able to give you. It wasn’t as much as I would like but hopefully it was enou

Alpha Daryl 107. Lost time
He coughs, spluttering up blood as I mind link Daryl to bring some clothes for the man catching his breath.Daryl does as I ask and then disappears back into my home whilst I watch over Christian. Throwing the clothes at him he quickly gets dressed but stays down on the ground avoiding eye contact but I didn’t need his eye contact, I finally had figured out how to listen to his thoughts.He was mad, confused and talking to his hybrid about trying a new way of getting me, another way of murdering Daryl. Recognising the silence he finally looks up at me to find me staring at him, my head tilted to the side as Reaper and I listened to the things he was thinking.That darkness that I had felt, it was different this time and it wasn’t Reaper, it was natural like it was who I was supposed to be only I was finally letting it out rather than confining it.“What’s happening?” Christians words come out in a whisper as he observes me an

How the fuck was that even possible, how had I lost two years of my life?Daryl tells everyone to leave and that the meeting would resume shortly, everyone reluctantly exits except Daryl and the triplets“What the hell is going on? Two years, I have lost two years”Mia bites her lip and the triplets glance at each other“You don’t remember?”“Remember what?” I was so close to losing my shit that I snap at Daryl.He explains to me about the day I tried to reason with Christian, how I had ordered Daryl back to the house but he watched helplessly as Christian knocked me to the ground and bit me. Apparently ordering him to the house meant just that, he couldn’t leave even if he wanted too, it was only that I called out to him in my mind that he was able to come to my aid.“We have been fighting with the wolfsbane in your system for just over two years. Whatever wolfsbane Christian used
Alpha Daryl 109. A following
Daryl puts me in the secret room through the wardrobe and drops me on the bed“You will be safe here”I had no idea that Daryl knew about the secret passageways in the house, I am guessing Tasha told him but Christian knew about them as well so I wasn’t exactly hidden but I know longer cared about my safety.Stretching out on the bed, it was nice to finally be able to move and yet every inch of me ached“I will be back as soon as I can” he leans over and kisses me on the forehead and I wondered how many times he had done that when I was out of itI don’t try to stop him from leaving, I know there is no point, he would go because he was fighting for me, fighting for something that he truly believed in.In a way it was funny how Christian and Daryl’s roles had switched like I had woken up in some kind of alternate reality.Breaking his own curse had released the man trapped inside of him whilst

I had to believe that Tasha was playing Christian like the time she had offered herself as bait, she had always stuck by my side even when I had no faith in my own kind but what if she had, what if losing Lucian had fucked with her head.If he offered her protection or safety, I still wouldn’t believe it, she had to be playing himRudy leaves Daryl and I, insisting he needed to train and Daryl rolls his eyes.“He works out far too much”“Then why don’t you stop him?”“Would you? He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He feels responsible”“For what exactly? Because Tasha being lured away is not his fault, Lucian’s death is not his fault”. Daryl falls silent and I turn to look at him “What are you not telling me?”“Lucian was killed saving Rudy”"What did you say?!""Christian had Rudy bound and gagged, ready to chop hi
Alpha Daryl 111. Wicked
Taking it from him, I twist it in my hands, it truly was something out of fairy tales and as Daryl leaves me alone, I cannot help but admire it. A lot of work had gone into it and I couldn’t fathom who would even want to wear it, it was heavy but I wanted to see what it would look like and place it on my head.Looking in the mirror I screw up my face, I looked ridiculous and remove the crown immediately.“Don’t”I turn to find my mother’s ghostly white figure, her hands clamped together and a wide grin on her face“It suits you”“You wore this?”, I wave the crown at her and she nods,“All the female ancestors have. It has been passed down through generations and now it is yours”“I don’t want it”Dropping the crown to the floor she glares at me “We do not disrespect our elders. Pick it UP!”My act had angered her and her tone
Alpha Daryl 112. Locked heart
I had no idea how far I walked, the distance between the houses grew closer and closer, more and more people were milling around, standing under their umbrellas, some giving me odd looks but there were no wolves or vampires around, I had left them behind in the forest but as I see the people I wondered how many of them had lost loved ones from being caught up in the cross fire. A car with blacked out windows pulls up next to me and Daryl rolls the window down “What the fuck are you doing?” “Go home Daryl” “I am not going anywhere without you” “Daryl, I haven’t got time for this” I continue to walk and he keeps the car rolling next to me, trying to reason with me “Rudy told me everything. You cannot do this alone” Now people were watching on curiously, like we were some sort of television show. “Daryl just go home please” “No, let me come with you” I stop, making him slam on his brakes, his blue eyes star
Alpha Daryl Authors Note
Hi everyone and thank you for reading my book, it really has been an interesting write. I also really appreciate the feedback and I am still working with my editor to make some changes here and there. I would just like to say to those of you that are annoyed by Rudina's most recent actions, you were supposed to be :) As for this book I was considering bringing it to an end here and leaving it open for you to come up with your own ideas of what happened after Rudina walked away but I have also had quite a few private messages asking me to extend it so I would like to know what all of you would like me to do, end it here or continue it on and reveal the hunters?
Alpha Daryl 113. Rightful place
“And where do you think you are going?” Daryl’s voice makes me jump, I hadn't even noticed the car out front and as Daryl climbs out he observes my blood soaked hands and the box that sat under my arm. He glances pass me into the run down house “He is dead then?” I nod and glance down at the box where Christians heart was resting “Well are you going to say anything Rudina, you can’t just tell me you love me and then block me so you can run away” I bite my lip, I honestly thought I would have more time before he came with the others but here he was alone and waiting for me. “Do not start the silent treatment now, not after all this time” he was referring to the time we first met when I struggled to convey my thoughts. “I have to go Daryl” “No, you are not doing that to me again, not now, not when we can finally be together” “I can’t mark you Daryl” “I don’t care about that, all I care about is being with
