DAELYN'S POV
I groaned as I shifted around in what seemed like a soft bed. A sharp pain shot up my spine and I remembered what happened before I passed out."Ah." I groaned as I sat up."Are you alright baby. Does it hurt anywhere?" Alastair asked me, I could've sworn that I have died because he looks exactly like an angel."I'm okay." I said with a fake cough trying to clear those thoughts from my mind."I'm really sorry baby doll, I didn't mean to ignore you that day. It was a really important moment and I know you hate being ignored the most." He rambled on and I know he's blaming himself for all of this. He's guilty about that and he only rambles like this when he doesn't know what to say."It's alright, but I'm not letting you off the hook, mister. I have warned you about my birthday." I said as I straddled him, to be honest I didn't like birthdays because they were a constant reminders that another year had passed after I was abandoned."I know, I'll make it up to you. I promise. Ask anything you want." He said as I smiled."Take me out this weekend to the amusement park." I said as he nodded."Yes, I'll ask Ms.Melany to settle my appointments for the day." He said as he slid his arms around me, hugging me.He lifted me off the bed carrying me bridal style and I yelped as I hugged him tighter. He carried me to the kitchen and put me down on the kitchen counter. He leaned down resting both of his arms beside me, I closed my eyes instinctively. He chuckled as he pulled out an apron from behind me. I opened my eyes to see him stifling his laughter. I jumped down trying to hit him when the bell rang. I ran to the door, forgetting that I was not dressed properly for the guest."E-Excuse me." I said to the awkward woman standing in front of me."Ehem. You must excuse me, I wasn't expecting a half-naked kid to open the door." She said. Her voice and tone was void of emotions but her eyes were warm. She's a nice person, Yeah I forgot to mention but I kind of judge everyone I met like this."Mel, hey come in. You want me to get some escort for you or something." Alastair grumbled as he slid his arms around my waist."Just be grateful that I care for you or else I'd have murdered you." She hit him with the files in her hand."Yeah whatever and this is baby, Daelyn. Baby this is Melany Moun, she's a good-for-nothing." Alastair said as he closed the door."What did you just say?" She asked as she plopped down on the sofa."Whatever, did you cover it up?" Alastair asked as he plopped down on the other couch, dumping the apron on the table in front of him. I wonder what they were talking about."Like hell. What was that? It was a literal blood bath. If I didn't know better I'd have thought that a river of blood was flowing through. There was a slaughter there, at least twenty corpses were found and all of them severely disfigured. Ethan says almost fifty of them are dead and several of them are missing body parts." She concluded, she looks cool. I wonder if I could present something like that at a company meeting. I giggled at the thought."Babydoll, you remember anything from that night." He asked, tucking a few stray hair strands beneath my ear.EARLIER ON THAT DAY"Wait for his orders. We don't know what to do with her. Also make sure she's handled properly, he wants her safely or else we won't get the money." A guy says to someone beside me, I feel so dizzy."Ahh." I groaned, my head hurts like hell and both my hands are tied to the chair."Ah Sam, she's up. Give her another shot." The guy said and a very tall woman walked up to me and injected something on my neck. The last thing I saw was a door banging open and some heavy footsteps and I passed out."Is that it? This is of no use." She asked, crossing her arms. I was feeling intimidated by her presence, I unconsciously squeezed on Alastair's bicep."Shut up. We do know one thing that it wasn't their idea but there is someone else behind the incident." He said glaring at her."You are whipped." She chuckled."You mean like you are for Vincent." He smirked and she blushed. Oh my, she blushed and her gaze had softened as he mentioned him. Since she was glaring at me from the start."He loves someone else anyway." She said, looking away."Who is Vincent anyway?" I asked curiously."The guy you pranked with a bucket of ice cold water." He said as I laughed, that was one nice prank I played. It wasn't meant for him but he walked right into it."You were the one who iced him." She giggled as I nodded enthusiastically."He almost broke the door that day." Alastair laughed as she hit him laughing."You mean the one with long hair, not long but longer Julian's." I asked."Yeah, him. The one you call pompon." Al said and Melany shot him a questioning gaze."He murders someone without batting an eye yet you call him pompon." Melany laughed and I admit that she looks a little less scary."He's soft. He let me go even if I said I was the one who played the prank." I huffed as I sank into the couch."That's because you are a kid and he happened to love kids. Also I'm leaving, I Have work to do." She said as she got off the couch."I'm not a kid." I pouted as she ruffled my hair and her phone rang with Julian's name on it."Yeah, we're on our way." She spoke in a worried tone and I wondered what it was."Al, we have a situation and it needs you." She said as he nodded in response."I'll be back in a few minutes. Don't go out and also don't open the door." He said with a warning tone."What is it?" He asked her and her face paled as she answered the phone."The black swan, he wants to meet you." She said and he almost ran out of the house.Alastair's POVI almost freaked out on hearing that he wanted to speak to me. At the same time I was tense, he massacred an entire mafia team. Daelyn wouldn't have been a problem but instead of killing her, he ended up saving her instead. I clutched the steering wheel hard. So, this is how it feels to have someone you want to protect by your side. I broke into a wide grin and all the tension was ignored. "Ew. What's that on your face? It looks disgusting." Melany, who was sitting in the passenger seat said. I seriously forgot about her. "It is something you'll never feel." I smirked as she made a face at me."Whatever, what do you think he wants to speak to you about?" She said as she looked out the window, staring at those board signals on our way."I don't know but we're going to find out. We're here." I said as I drove into our hideout's driveway. We parked the car and headed inside. The red carpet was splayed out on the floor. Julian and Heather picked the interiors for our hide
DAELYN’S POV: “Because..” She trailed off and I leaned in, interested. “ENOUGH.” I heard Alastair’s voice booming throughout the hallway. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” The woman apologised and I looked away, disappointed. I admit I was a little interested in that issue, I’ll ask Al later someday. Al mouthed a ‘go in’ to me and I nodded as I entered the house closing the door behind me. I sighed as I made my way into the living room. I opened my snacks and arranged them on the glass table in front of the couch. I sat down on the couch as I started the movie and waited for Al to join me. After quite some time he joined me, he loosened his tie as he sat beside me. I snuggled closer to him as he wrapped his arm around my waist, his grip around my waist tightened and I giggled as I kissed his cheek. I rested my head on his shoulder as the movie played. As the end titles began to scroll, I wiped my eyes and sniffled. The ending was quite sad, the movie was about a detective who
DAELYN’S POV; “I’m the black swan.” He said and we gasped. “W-What?” I asked, stumbling back in shock. “What the hell do you mean?” Natalya growled as she got closer to him. “I mean my name is Hei Schwan, my name means black swan. I’m not the assassin Black swan.” He snickered and I hit him hard with the books in my hand. If he pulls a dumb trick like this again, I’m murdering him. “I’m sorry, You were just so cute. I couldn’t help it.” He said and I pouted. Natalya called someone and was talking on the phone. Leona was directing a full-on glare to Schwan. “Dae, Vincent is coming to pick you up this evening. I and Leona have some work to do.” She smiled and I mumbled an ’okay’ to her. I and Leona were on our way to the classes while Natalya left with Schwann. I think Natalya is starting to suspect him or something. But I don’t get why, I mean it’s just a joke he pulled on us. If I tell Al about this, he’ll be off for his head. I sighed when did my life become this way. I ran my
Alastair's POV:"Dae, where are you?" I asked and there was no response. I took my shoes off and wandered inside calling her name. But there was no sign of her. I started to panic when I heard something shuffling. I turned around to witness a white kitten on some clothes. Wait, wasn't that Daelyn's shirt. I was still processing the situation when I heard a sweet voice calling my name. I turned around to see my little omega in a bathrobe. So, that's where she was. She was just taking a bath and I got carried away. By the way, how in the world did a kitten get into my house?Daelyn should've brought that thing inside and that's the only explanation. I think she felt bad for it because it was an orphan like her. I promised myself that she wouldn't feel alone ever again.But I still don't understand one thing, just what happened in her past for her to feel like this. Could the black swan be involved with her in the past and was that why he is that fixated on her.EARLIER THAT DAYTHE BL
DAELYN’S POV It was Leona’s birthday next week and I was still yet to decide on the present. I pouted and gripped the pillow harder. It should be easy since I am her best friend but there’s hardly anything that she doesn’t have. I took a look around the house and I still don’t understand what’s happening here. Why is everyone here and not in their hideout doing their things? I spotted Natalya and Ms.Darville at the dining table and by the looks of it, they’re arguing again. Ms.Darville is the chairwoman of H&W University. I heard she took over it when she was 25 and she’s very cool. Natalya is our senior at the university and she is also an assassin for the Exodus club. Julian and Vincent have been sitting across from me on the couch and they were reviewing something. Miss Melany was instructing someone and the layout of Alastair’s mansion lay sprawled over the table. It’s been almost half a day like this but I have no idea what’s going on here. “What in the world are you up to?”
DAELYN'S POV"I'm Daelyn Blair and I'm here to pick the order I made yesterday." I said to the guy sitting in front of the computer at the mall."Yes. Ms.Blair, right this way please." He said and led me into his studio. "Is that my order?" I asked, pointing to the spiralled book at one corner."Yes it is. I specifically paid attention to the pictures you mentioned. The rest of the pictures were carefully selected by my employees. We hope you like it." He said and handed that book over. This was my gift to leona, I had specifically collected pictures of her and also some of our group pictures to go with them. I flipped through the papers of the 'memory book' and it was very nostalgic. Seems like I made the right decision, she's going to cry after looking through this."It's perfect. Could wrap this for me. I would appreciate it if it were blue in colour." Leo has sky blue eyes, her eyes remind me of clear skies and a sunny day.There was also someone else who liked blue. That little

DAELYN’S POV:“Dae, I found a secret garden where we can hang out.” The kid wearing a silver white shirt paired with black shorts exclaimed as he dragged the little girl with him.“Really, these people won’t find us there.” The little girl who was wearing a white frock with little flower patterns, beams as the latter smiled.That’s when it dawned on me, this was a memory not a dream. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. We found that there was a little secret garden around the lake behind the house. We started hanging out there very often. Well……Until that fateful day, the day he ran away from that prison of a house.To say I was disappointed was an understatement. He left me all alone, like my parents. I trusted him but in the end I was alone. That disappointment faded as the days passed, instead I felt relived. Relief washed over me as I finally realised that he was safe now. Away from the harsh criticism and comparisons. I felt happy for him but was a little salty that he
