Riyzan planned to give her that. Planned to give her anything she desired.
When they walked in the mountain, they found a human woman standing in the middle of their living room, peering down the hole Riyzan had created.
Surquyn pounced.
Seeing the human raise her hands quickly, Riyzan grabbed Surquyn and pulled her back against his body, holding her tight. “Wait,” he whispered. He turned his attention to the woman. “You better have a good reason as to why you are in our home.”
“I…there’s a war coming. The humans, they’ve regrouped. We’re all in danger.”
“We know this already. Your information is useless to us,” Surquyn hissed.
“But…but they’re stronger…they have…I’ve seen…things.”
“How are you still alive if you have information on the humans?” Riyzan asked. He knew all too well what happened to anyone who tried to walk away from the humans. It had gotten Shade into a lot of trouble, and had lost him his mother and Layla.
“I went searching for my husband when he went missing. I heard…rumours. They told me vampires had taken him and killed him. I was angry and—” The woman swallowed loudly. “I did terrible things, hunted and killed your kind.” The woman twisted her hands together, tears filling her eyes.
“What changed your mind?” Surquyn asked. Anger still filled her, but she spoke calmly, obviously sensing the emotional breakdown within the woman that Riyzan had sensed.
“I found out the truth. I found out what the humans were doing. How they tortured my husband and made him into a…a Mutated.”
“Who is your husband?”
“His name is Riley.”
Riyzan and Surquyn exchanged a glance. The human shook her head, closed her eyes and rubbed them. It was obvious that she wasn’t aware that her husband wasn’t the kind of Mutation she thought him to be.
She wiped at her eyes with shaking hands. “Listen, the humans, they have weapons the military would kill for—”
“So we’ve seen,” Surquyn replied dryly.
“What they don’t realise is who’s controlling them,” the woman continued as though Surquyn hadn’t interrupted her. “They’re taking a blind order and I don’t want any innocent people getting killed because of it.”
“So you have been with the humans long enough to find out this information, including who has been behind everything?” Riyzan asked. He was surprised a delicate human such as herself could survive within the ranks of vampire hunters. There weren’t many females among them when they had all been wiped out. How had she survived? How did she escape without getting caught?
How did she slip out of Layla’s hands when she destroyed everything they created?
The human nodded quickly, twisting her fingers together. “I…I’ve been…was there for…six years. The power they had…I couldn’t get out! They were going to turn me into one of those monsters.”
“So how did you escape?” Surquyn asked, voicing aloud the words Riyzan had thought.
“I took my chance when Ramliez tortured his own son and his wife. I just…I tried to help them but I knew they would make me into a monster and I didn’t want to be responsible for the lives I took.”
“So who is controlling the humans?” Riyzan asked.
The human stayed silent—her eyes wide and her hands shaking as she clutched them together and breathed heavily.
Riyzan grabbed her around the throat and squeezed. “Who?”
“Your daughter!” the human gasped out.
Riyzan narrowed his eyes, fighting to squeeze the life from the woman. “Layla would never do anything like that. The humans were searching for her.”
The woman swallowed.
When she spoke, Riyzan sensed no lies within her words.
“I’m not talking about Layla.”
About the Author
I’m a talkative, hyperactive writer of Erotic Vampire Paranormal Romance books. I love both reading and writing, and I love listening to loud rock/hardcore music. I was born in Devon, Plymouth in 1991. I didn’t stay there for long and moved to Lincoln. I wasn’t always a lover of books, I was more an animal person then. I went to University of Lincoln, Riseholme College, where I studied an animal course for two years. It was only when I saw J.K Rowling’s, Harry Potter books that I start reading. Over the years, I read more books, including Twilight and House of Night and soon I became a huge lover of books. I love reading so much, and all the books that I’ve read have inspired to start writing my own, though reading vampire books did not inspire me to write vampire books myself, my dreams did that for me. I own more than a hundred books, mainly vampires, and read over double. I plan to have my very own library of books that I love and will continue to read repeatedly, without getting bored. I’m a true believer of all things supernatural, and hope that one day, I’ll have the pleasure of meeting one. I live in the middle of nowhere with my partner, Reece and my little zoo which consists of an army of hamsters, a hyperactive chinchilla called Hektor, and four guinea pigs. We hope in the near future that we can get an army of guinea pigs, chinchillas to add to the family. Along with a goat.
