The Alpha's Unknown Daughter

Chapter Six - Playdate

" You now bear my mark, Daywalker and you know the consequences if you threaten us again." She said smugly to their prisoner, to which he immediately charged the gate of his cage, making them both step back. When he failed to reach them, he hissed at them and Rafe jumped back as he realized the man was half vampire and that's why his heartbeats had been so slow.

"Should I mark you to psychic, or have you learned your lesson?" She said as she moved on to the second cage. The man in the second cage immediately cowered in the corner when she spoke. He was far younger then the first.

"Who hired you?" She immediately demanded of the man who now sat in the corner farthest from her and eyed her fearfully.

Seeing her like this further reminded him of what she must have had to endure, as well as what extremes she had likely been forced to do to keep both her and their daughter safe. He was determined to make sure she would never have to behave this way again and he would bring her back to the person he used to know.

"Answer me." Tyra demanded as she slammed her hand against the bars of his cage and the sound snapped Rafe out of his thoughts.

"Byrne." The man whispered before she could strike the cage again.

The other man, the half vampire, immediately yelled in rage at the word and tried to psychic who had ratted their boss, but when Tyra held up the blade, the runes on it glowed again and the vampire made a hissing noise of pain before he retreated. So that was what her mark did?

"Brain Byrne?" Tyra questioned when she turned her attention back to the psychic.

Rafe knew the name. He was a billionaire wolf shifter whose methods had landed him with many lawsuits that he bought his way out of. He was known for hiring mercenaries of any kind, human, vampire. Whatever being suited to his need, he would hire them. Had he brokered some kind of deal with the mercenaries? But why Tyra and Jasimine?

The man's silence was his answer and Tyra nodded satisfied.

"Let them go. My mark will kill the Daywalker if he ever comes close to us again and the psychic won't bother us again." Tyra said as she turned and walked out.

Rafe wanted to argue but relayed her orders once they were outside. He would have to trust her. She had been keeping herself as well as Jasmine safe for this long after all.

The moment the guard was gone, Tyra turned and buried her face in his chest. He immediately wrapped his arms around her, shocked by her reaction after she had just been so dominating and in control. It was all an act?

" I just want this all over." She whispered into his chest, and he held her tighter, wishing he could make everything better. How could he though, when she wouldn't tell him what the hell was going on.

"What did he mean by there is too much profit to be made?" He asked and wondered what he said when she went stiff and pulled away.

"Our daughter is not some prize to be sold." She said on a growl before she walked away from him.

"That's not what I meant. Just tell me what the hell is going on!" He called after her, throwing his hands up in the air in frustration.

" I need to talk to my brother and father." She said as she ignored him. That caught his attention.

"You found your biological dad?" He asked as he chased after her.

"Yea and you already met my half-brother, James." She said in an answer as she pulled out a cell from her pocket.

She spoke to her father, and he said he would see if he could get any more information for her now that they had a target. She then invited her brother, wanting more help with the situation but still refusing to let Rafe in completely. She knew she would have to, eventually, but she just wasn't ready yet.
