..........3 months later.........
Riot and I were standing in the throne room of a very extravagant castle in Scotland visiting the vampire king. Beth and Derrick wanted to introduce us before, they went back home to have little Sienna Lynn. There is a myth circulating that vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies, the truth is we live in peace most of the time. Vampire do feed off of human's that is true, but they rarely ever kill them, until they learn to control their blood-lust all new vampires must feed from blood bags. Like werewolves there are rouge vampires that have twisted souls, and they feed and kill humans. Those vampires are either killed on sight or, captured and turned over to the vampire king. The rouge werewolves found by true vampires get the same treatment.
"King Riot and Queen Tempest, what an honor to finally meet ye." The vampire king said as he entered from the side of the room. Riot and I bowed at him showing the respect he commanded. His scottish accent made me want to melt. He reminded me of Jamie from Outlander.
"The honor is ours your highness." I said to him. He smiled, his fangs gleaming in the light, his black eyes were super dark compared to his pale skin, that was adorned with a surplus of freckles. His hair was a fiery red, it had a pompadour style. He looked regal in his emerald suit and chestnut loafers.
"I've heard of your beauty, Queen Tempest, I must say ye' dinna disappoint." The compliment made me giggle and Riot place his arm around my waist.
"It's true my Queen is absolutely stunning, I am very lucky to have her." Riot said to the king
"Ye got that right. I am glad 'ye came here today, as I have come across a hybrid of wolf and vampire." I felt my eyes go wide, vampires and wolves may live in peace, but it is an unspoken rule, they should never procreate, the results can be disturbing. Not only that the chances of succeeding are .01 out of 100. The best chance you have is for the male vampire to impregnate a she-wolf, during the pregnancy the she-wolf will have to consume insane amounts of fresh human blood, or she and the fetus will die. Even if the pregnancy goes to term there is a high chance the baby will be born disfigured or still born. There are still risks after infancy too, like the first shift at fifteen, the wolf half of the hybrid could be disfigured and they could die during the first shift. So finding a live hybrid is very, very rare.
"How old?" Riot asked softly.
"No more than eleven, if even that old." The king said, she hadn't shifted so it was possible she could still perish.
"May we see the 'ybrid King Joseph?" Derrick asked standing beside me.
"Aye. Bring out the hybrid!" Joseph shouted. I saw the side door open and two vampires walked in holding the arms of a small girl, her light brown hair was hanging over her face, but I could see, she was pale and malnourished.
"Oh Goddess, she is so thin." I said placing a hand on my ever growing belly.
"Aye, we found her two days ago runnin' through the woods with nothin but a ripped shirt. She has yet to speak to any of us." The king said, sadly.
"May I?" I asked, gesturing to the girl, Joseph nodded. I walked over to her Riot right behind me. I reached out and gently moved the hair from her face and froze. I felt my breathing get heavy and I stumbled back into Riot. "Adam." I whispered. Riot pulled out his phone and skyped Adam.
"Hello?" I took the phone and I showed Adam the girl who was looking at me with wide eyes. "What The f**k?!" Adam screamed.
.........Flashback.........
"Adam! Allison! Dinner time!" Adam and I raced to the house where our mom was waiting for us. Her light brown hair was blowing around her shoulders with the breeze. She smiled at us as we ran into the house toward the dinner table. I saw my dad and jumped on his lap and give him a kiss on his cheek, I giggled as he set me in my own seat across from mom. I remember her light green eyes looking at me happily in adoration and love. I squeaked when Adam stuck his tongue out at me from next to mom. Her heart shaped face and thin lips turned to Adam and she gently tapped his head, he pouted at me and we ate our dinner, while talking bout our day.
.........New Flashback........
I was in the hospital visiting my mom when she woke up, only her eyes were no longer green, they were a deep red. I screamed and she looked at me, her eyes went back to green and a tear fell from her face. Her eyes went red again and she snarled, a blood curdling snarl, at me. I had screamed as she shifted into her wolf form and stalked toward me. Our Alpha entered the room and she growled at him before jumping out the window.
"MOMMY!" I had screamed.
"Allison, your mom died! She is being buried next to your dad." The Alpha grabbed my face and made me look at me. "Her wolf was too sad to heal her and she died." He commanded me. I nodded and repeated his words. Then I started crying for my dead mom, I ran to Adam and told him what happened, our mother was dead. My mom was dead.
.........End Flashbacks...........
I gave Adam back to Riot and cupped the girls face in my hands, tears spilled from my eyes as I remembered what happened. I looked into her light green eyes, "Do you have a name?" I asked softly.
"Aylia." She responded just as softly.
"Aylia, do you know who your mom is? Do you know her name?" She nodded.
"Her name is Kelly." I closed my eyes and swayed on my feet.
"Allison?" I heard someone say my name but I couldn't focus. I felt my power grow with the pain from losing my mother again. I fell to my knees and began sobbing, I felt people surround me, but all I could think about was how she looked at me, and how she could've had another pup. I felt myself fall backwards and I was suddenly in Jinx's warm bed. All alone.
........Riot POV..........
I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what. I felt Allison's pain, confusion and her worry as she fell to her knees. I was at her side trying to talk to her, but she wasn't responding, she had her eyes closed, I could feel her aura getting stronger as her emotions grew. Then I felt an emptiness. Her eyes opened, but they were black, it was Jinx, not Ally.
"Jinx what is going on?" I asked her. She faced me and sighed.
"This girl is our sister, our mother is not dead, our memories were tampered with by our old Alpha when we were ten. Our mother's soul was twisted from the loss of our father and she became a blood rouge. Allison is trying to process everything, you can sense how hurt she is."
"That is the thing, I can't feel her anymore Jinx, it's like I lost her." I felt the tears fall down my face as I told Jinx I couldn't feel the love of my life.
"I dinna expect that to happen!" Joseph said. I looked up at the small child who now, that i was looking, sort of looks like my Ally. I knew we had to take her home with us, she is family after all, I just had to convince Joseph.
"King Joseph, I know I have no right to ask this of you, but may we take Aylia home with us?" I heard her gasp and Jinx rose to Allison's feet and faced king Joseph, with a blank face.
"I think that would be best, I know what family means, but I will ask a favor of 'ye."
"What is the favor."
"I need 'ye to keep an extra eye out for a vampire named Locklin, he went missing five years ago and can't be found. He is family, and I would like him returned to me."
"If you have something that smells of him, I can have tracker wolves search for him." I suggested.
"As can I." Derrick said joining me. Darren walked slowly over to Jinx and raised his arms at her.
She bent down and he put his small hands around her face and put his forehead on hers. He whispered things I couldn't quite hear, but he was wrapped in her arms in seconds.
"That is much appreciated Riot and Derrick." Joseph said. I was still watching my mate as I walked to Aylia and crouched down in front of her. I took her small hand in my large one and smiled lightly at her.
"Are you ready to go to your new home Aylia?" I asked and she nodded.
.........Next day......
Riot POV
She was laying in Jinx's bed when I sat behind her. I felt sparks fly through my arm as I took her hand.
"I need you to come back Ally." She shook her head.
"Fine, then I'll stay here with you and we can leave everyone behind together." I went to lay down as she sat up and looked into my eyes. She shook her head and more tears spilled from her eyes, her lips were jutted out in a sad pout. I whimpered, I never wanted to see her like this. I pulled her into my chest and whimpered when I thought about the pain on her face. She cried for a while before pulling away, I felt tears spill from my eyes as I felt her pain as my own.
"It hurts Spencer." She whined.
"I know Ally, I feel it. Close your eyes and tell me what you feel." I said. She closed her eyes and sat there for a moment. Her eyes opened and I rested my forehead on hers. I showed her how afraid I was when she fell, The pain I felt when I lost her emotions, the confusion. "I can't do this without you Ally, I need you. I need My Queen. Our pup needs it's mommy."
"I know." She said sighing. "Thank you Spencer, I'll see you on the outside." I smiled and focused on going back to my own body. I came to laying next to Allison's sleeping form, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into me. We were in the hotel room waiting for out morning flight back to Charlotte NC. She opened her beautiful silver and blue eyes and turned to look at me.
"I love you Spencer." She said as she kissed my lips softly.
"I love you Allison." I replied as I kissed her back.
