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
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
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?
“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
Things had settled down in the last few weeks and I was slowly coming to terms with everyone calling me Queen although I still preferred Rudina and took every chance to remind my people. Everyone knew where they belonged and when they pledged their lives to me, they each had to take a sip of my blood to show their loyalty, and although I could mind link everyone before, it was no much easier.A coven of witches led by Taylor had settled to the east of my land, whilst the werewolves were to the left where Daryl was the Alpha once again, which at first was a challenge but he was my mate and they had to accept that and thankfully no one had challenged him yet although I was certain the time would eventually come.Rudy and Mia kept an eye on the vampires who had settled on the land just south of mine, and the vampires were under strict order that if they wanted blood they needed to go to the human prisons like the hybrids. The only good thing I had taken from the relations
It had been a while since I had been out in the forest, especially so far south. I would let Reaper out now and again to stretch her legs but only on my land, any further was too risky.Daryl gathers some people and I am surprised to see that Calli is one of them, she had been fully loyal to Christian and although I knew she had pledged her loyalty to me, she kept herself away from big matters.“It’s good to see you Calli”She nods her head towards me but doesn’t speak“These are the ones capable of concealing their scent” Daryl gestures to the hybridsI nod to them and tell them that we will be scouting for the hunters and that everyone is expected to stay hidden and not to interact with the hunters no matter what. We needed to figure out who they were exactly and I needed to see if Rudy’s scent was on them.Tasha begged me to let her come because it involved her son but I needed her to make sure th
“What, you are mated to a vampire?” As far as I was aware that was not even possible but with the Moon Goddess and her ways, anything was possibleShe shakes her head, the tears falling faster“I…”“Don’t” Tasha grabs Taylor’s shoulders and shakes her “You have to ignore it”Standing with my hands on my hips, i glare at each of them “You need to tell me now”I didn’t care if Tasha was her mother, she reported to me and if it was causing this much pain and distress with Taylor then I needed to know.“I am mated to a human” her words tumble out of her mouth as quick as the tears fall, she was sobbing now, yet I had no words for her.Mated to a human, how was that even a thing?Pulling her in for a hug, she holds on to me and continues to cry “I am sorry Auntie”“Hey, its not your fault, the Moon Goddess always
“Yes” I didn't want to admit it but he had already worked it out He just watches me, I had no idea what else to say, I wasn’t going to lose him, not now, not ever, I wanted us to grow old together, to have a family and now this. Why was everything so fucked up? “What is going to happen?” “I don’t know, but you still being alive has changed everything” He cups my face with both his hands, forcing me to look at him “She may choose our mates but she does not choose our decisions” “What are you saying?” “You changed your destiny, you changed mine, you have changed everyone’s” “Daryl you are still not making any sense” “Your parents destiny was to die, you were supposed to as well but Lucian got you out although not for the right reasons, every decision you have made since is changing the timeline because you are not what the Moon Goddess expected” Blinking several times whilst he continued to hold my face, I begin t
