134. Epilogue
It had been almost a year since I lost my mate, my best friend, my true love. I wish I had been told how much pain losing a mate would cause and how long it would last because the truth is, it never goes away and you can only learn to accept it along with being alone. Truth is, I didn’t want the pain to ever go away because to me it signalled that I wasn’t ready to move on and nor do intend too.
As I sit watching the twins crawl around, I smile and hoped they would never feel the same pain that I do but at the same time I was grateful to have them here, a boy and a girl because they kept me fighting another day.
The boy I had named after Daryl, Daryl Junior or as I had been calling him DJ, two minutes older than his sister, he was the spitting image of his father, right down to his eyes. They were not the traditional amber colour of a Royal but bright blue and they gave me hope that he would have a better life than being the leader of the Royals when my time was up.<

The man stares at me, a crooked smile on his face, his frame filling the doorway. It couldn’t be Daryl, I had seen him die, I had watched his life get ripped away from him.He frowns for a moment, waiting for me to say something, anything, but no words come from my mouth, instead my mouth opens and closes like a fish gasping for air, as I try to understand who was stood in front of me.The man’s eyes were dark “Let’s go home Ashley.” He holds a hand out towards me.No one had called me that in a long time. My name rolls off of his tongue and he glances around my room. The room that was my own, the room that I had been living in. He frowns as he takes in the bare room.“Please Ashley, you don’t belong here”“Who are you?” I frown at him, my arms hugging my own body as I back up against the window.He moves towards me, his hands still outstretched, waiting for me to take them. His bro

He holds my hand, my hand looked tiny in his. I look at it confused, trying to process how he was holding my hand, it felt exactly the same as when Daryl held my hand but I was certain, this just couldn’t be Daryl.I only hear parts of the conversation, tuning in and out as I took in my surroundings, they looked familiar.“She had enough wolfsbane in her system that it should have killed her”I don’t really take in his words, I just knew that what Hayden had been giving me, had been dodgy, it was why I had started poking them out the small hole in the window.His hand squeezes mine “Are you okay Ashley?”“Why do you keep calling me that?”His eyebrows knit together, “It’s your name, the name you told me when I found you that night”“You mean the night you set me up” I snatch my hand out of his and start pulling the different wires and tubes from my skin as the man tries to calm me down.“Ashley, don’t do this, it’s the effects of the wolfsbane.”“No, I saw you die, I saw everyone die”

I felt fine, I look over myself, nothing looked out of place. I even peer down my own hospital gown, the usual scars still lingered, nothing had changed there.“I only have a headache”He smiles at me, “Maybe, but what he means is the level of wolfsbane. The doctor doesn’t understand how you are still alive. Any other wolf would have died a long time ago.”“I’m not just a wolf though am I, I am vampire too.”His jaw drops, his eyes wide as he stares at me.“It’s what a Royal is, a mixture.” I don’t understand how he didn’t remember, I don’t understand how my timeline wasn’t matching up to his.He had asked me if I had seen the future but that couldn’t be right either, Hayden wouldn’t have died otherwise.I looked at him, he was busy pacing, “You really think you are a vampire as well?”“I don’t think, I know”He starts laughing, a deep throaty laugh, like I was telling him some crap.“It’s impossible Ashley, wolves and vampires cannot reproduce”I think about all the times I could com

“YOU CAN’T”His green eyes glare at me, but he doesn’t try anything else. His hands smooth out the sheets on the bed before he sits in the chair. A complete change of behaviour comes as he tells me he will keep me company until Daryl returns. He sits with his hands on his lap, not really paying me much attention and closes his eyes, tipping his head back.I watch him as he falls asleep and creep towards him. I could kill him, again. My fingers reach out to touch the scar on his face, my fingers had traced it so many times before and yet it was like it was the first time I was touching it.Dropping my hand, I look around the room, searching for something, anything that I could use to kill him. I try to shift but nothing happens when he suddenly grabs my wrist. His eyes wide as he glares at me.“What do you think you are doing?” his voice is low“Nothing” I mumble, but his hand was tight around my wrist. As I try to twist it, I feel the burn of skin on skin.His hand lets go of my wrist

Later that day, Daryl tells me that I can sleep in his bed, or he can have the bedroom next door set up for me. It was odd hearing him give me options. I was about to ask to go in the other bedroom until he tells me that Christian will just be down the hallway.“Can I sleep in here?”He nods his head a small smile appearing on his face, “If that is what you are comfortable with. Do you want me to sleep on the sofa?”I shake my head, I didn’t want anything to happen between us, not until I was certain it was him, but I was more scared of Christian. “Just don’t try anything.”“You are so different” he smiles at me“What is that supposed to mean?”He shakes his head “It doesn’t matter” but the comment had annoyed me“I’m the one that’s different! Do you now how hard it was to watch you die, to lose everyone that I loved. To suddenly be here, where you are alive. Of course I am different.”I throw myself backwards on his bed, my head was still scrambled with these memories or visions or w

He looks at me like I have lost the plot. His dark eyes wide, before his eyebrows narrow.“You have already suggested that my parents need to die, now you want me to kill my best friend. I don’t know what happened to you, but I will not be doing either.”“Even though you are the Alpha of Alpha’s, the one that everyone fears.”He shakes his head at me “It’s just the wolfsbane talking”I thought he had believed the other things I had told him. But as he continues shaking his head, I realise that he just thinks I am mad, high on wolfsbane.“Just go away Daryl”“No, I’m not letting you out of my sight again, especially if you are going to pull this shit again; I don’t know why you are so set on hurting yourself! I know you wanted me to wait, but it’s been long enough, and you no longer have a choice.”“What is that supposed to mean?” I step back from him as I watch his canines protrude, crap, he was going to mark me. My hand goes to my neck, but I knew I couldn’t stop him, I had no wolf,

Daryl leads my hesitating body upstairs, when I keep pausing, he gives up waiting for me, carrying me the remainder of the way.The bathtub was already full, steam rising from the bubbly water. The last time I had a bath, I had tried to do something stupid, and I was surprised he was letting me have another one. I feel him step behind me, his fingers lifting the hem of my top.“Stop panicking, I’m right here”I didn’t even know that I was panicking, not until he told me, and he tells me to take a few deep breaths. I raise my arms as he pulls my top up over my head, he didn’t even have to ask me. As he finishes lowering my shorts and panties he steps into the bath himself, making me wonder when he had taken off his own clothes.I watch as he lowers his muscly body into the hot water. tensing as the hot water hit his sensitive parts. Holding a hand out for me, I take it, carefully stepping into the bath. He positions himself so that I am sat between his legs, an all to familiar feeling.

I turn in the rain to see him, the very man I had asked to come here. The only person to call me Rudina since I was found. To top it off, he was the last man I wanted to see, fucking Christian!His hands are in his pockets as he carefully watches me, not making any sudden movements, the rain running down over his face as his eyes search mine. He repeats his words and yet I cannot find the right ones to reply, I wanted to tell him where to go, I wanted to tell him to fuck off and yet he was the only one to actually know who I am, to have a sense of the identity crisis that I seemed to be having.I let the cold rain hit my skin without wiping it away. Looking up into the dark clouds, I could see that a storm was on its way, I could feel it. I knew others were watching me now, I could sense their eyes burning into me, probably wondering what mad cow would stand barefoot in the rain.All my senses seemed so much stronger than normal, and I start shaking my head at Christian “Go away Chris
