Daisy POV “I apologize, Mr. Asher. I assume it's because it's been a while since they've seen their father. They are misguided in believing that you are their father.” I swiftly covered James' mouth and dragged them all inside my room. What were they thinking, calling him Daddy, when they don't even know what their father looks like? Yes, Asher is their father, but he doesn't have to know, and they don't need to know either. This way, things will go perfectly as I had planned. The look on Asher's face when they called him Daddy couldn't be overemphasized. He looked surprised and when his eyes deepened into their features I swear to God that I was so scared because I saw the tint of anger and shock in his eyes. “Why did you call him Daddy?” I paced up and down my room, trying to console myself that Asher wouldn't read meanings to what they did earlier. “But Mommy, you told us that we'd meet our Daddy in Arizona after grandma fell ill, and we thought he was our Daddy.” Janice's tin
Daisy POV I was still foaming in anger, looking for the best way to ease the tension surrounding me when suddenly my eyes caught Janice. She was humming and running through the long hallway that leads to Asher's room. I paused on my track and reversed my direction to where she was going and, like I had thought, she stopped at Asher's room and knocked. “Who's there?” A thick voice asked from the other side of the door. “It's me, Uncle Asher.” Immediately, the door jerked open faster than expected, and I almost got caught peeping from the corner, but I was quick to hide myself. After he ushered her in, and he closed the door behind them, I quickly went closer to the door and eavesdropped on their conversation. I wasn't scared of getting caught by others because I was sure no one would walk through this place without proper permission. In fact, everyone is afraid of him, and they're always cautious about coming here. “Hey Janice, what about your brothers and sisters?” “They're in th
Daisy POV With my hands tied, his free hand went over my thighs, then he traced invisible lines over them up to my stomach, his eyes lingered on the exposed top of my breast as I struggled against his restraints. He leaned over to my shoulder and whispered in my ear, his hot breath coating my entire body. “Try not to wear those revealing clothes. I don't want any of my men eyeing you up beside me.” He pulled the dress off above my head, and I was left in nothing but my bra and panties. I quickly covered my breasts with my tied hands when I was aware of my nakedness. He pulled away from me and held the clothes between his fingers like a rag. I try not to feel disappointed when coldness replaces the warmth I once felt when Asher was standing next to me. “Take this and burn it like you did to the other clothes,” Asher said to the guards outside, then he closed the door back, and I trembled a little due to the impact. Now I know why I couldn't find the clothes I wore to dinner after th
Daisy POV Everything is set, I have it all planned, but there's just one problem, Asher. How do I get past him? So long he's in this mansion, there's no way I can leave freely without being monitored. After thinking about it over and over again, I came to terms with a valid conclusion. I would lie to Asher that I want to go on an outing with the kids and, with the help of Stella, I would be allowed to pass the gate freely with no guards to monitor my movements. Even if they do, I have plans already on how to counter them, so I'm fully prepared. I went to Asher's room to inform me of my outing with the kids, but when I knocked on his door I got no reply from him and, after waiting and knocking for the third time, I decided to go in, but when I pushed the door open and I stepped in, everywhere was exceptionally quiet. Asher's room is always quiet, but this time something seems off as if he isn't in his room entirely. I stepped further inside the room in search of him with a thumping
Daisy POV The ride back to the mansion was stiffening and silent. Asher kept glancing at me with blood-sucking eyes, but he didn't utter any words until the car stopped at the front of the mansion, and we all got down. Soon, the door opened and Stella came rushing towards us. She looked like she was almost about to cry from losing everything. “Take your children and go inside.” Asher got down from the car, telling Stella, but my children ran and hid behind as if they were afraid of her. The color from Asher's eyes drained, and he stared at me as though I were planning to kidnap the children away from their mother. “I'm not letting them go with her.” I cried out. “Please just let me leave.” “With someone's child?” He marched towards me and was about to hit me, but he hung his hand in the air, seeing the kids behind me. “Please, Daisy, let's settle this amicably and give me back my children.” They're not your children. I wanted to scream at her, but I held myself back. What would
Daisy POV “Go!” As he didn't want to hear what I had to say before he ordered. Immediately, my instincts kicked in, the strength I never knew I possessed filled me as I picked myself off the floor and I started running. And as if I was cursed by the Moon Goddess, the wind howled and the rain poured down, soaking my clothes and chilling me to the bone. I ran as if my life depended on it. Of course, it depended on my survival, but I doubted I would come out of this alive. I continue screaming as I run, the wolves hot on my heels running. I hear their growl behind me. I managed to turn my head and I see a pair of glowing yellow eyes ragging to attack me. My entire body was coated with fear as I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, I could hear the pounding of my heart, as dreadful goosebumps spread across my entire skin. I hadn't made it half close to the cottage when one of the wolves' sides blocked me in the front, snarling and baring its teeth, the other standing behind me. I bec
Asher POV “What!” “Yes, I have loved the Alpha for five years. I even had to start working here as a maid, but since he never looked at me for once, I decided to leave with my feelings and heartbroken but when I came back here, and he started caring for me thinking I was the mother of your children I was overwhelmed and wanted more. I wanted him all to myself and to achieve that I will always need your child around and continue to be their mother, so you don't expect me to sit back and let you run away. Then what will become of me after you must have gone?” She screamed, her pace increasing with every word she uttered. “And that's the reason you decided to tell him of my plan to leave?” “Yes, I…” Before she could make a complete sentence, I heard a loud slap from inside the room then followed by Daisy's thunderous voice. “From now on, I will start being the mother of my children. Just leave quietly because I was the one who put you into this mess. I will face the punishment from
Asher POV The following day was Monday and, just like every other day, I decided to take the children to school before heading back to my company. “Sir, aren't you going to find out more information about those children?” Zack, my beta, asked me from across the front seat where he was driving. After studying my expression in the car mirror, he sighed and focused back on the road. After about a few minutes of thinking about it over and over again, I came up with a final decision. “I don't want to, I want to trust my wife. If she says her ex-husband is the father, let's leave it like that. So long I'm close with the children and always happy to see them, I can still be their father even if I'm not biologically, and she's not ready to let anyone find out he's the father of the children and I don't want to violate her privacy and just want to trust her.” I said to Zack, and that was just the simple truth. I would rather not dig too much into her past and find out what will break my he
Daisy POVEverything seemed to go back to normal. But not just normal - Asher was able to show me how much he loved me in every possible way, at every opportunity. And now, I had grown accustomed to being loved by him, and I couldn't imagine my life without him.Nicole was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor, while her mother, who was also an acquaintance, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. My father came to beg my Mom and me and we forgave him. He retired from being the Alpha of our pack and Nathan took over while I was ordained the Luna of the seven packs in Arizona and the only beloved wife of Asher the Alpha King.Asher later told me that I was the girl who saved him fifteen years ago that Nicole was impersonating. At first, I couldn't believe it because I have no memories of fifteen years ago, but my mother told me stories of what happened.She explained that I had gone missing as a child, after the death of my brother, who had drowned in the pool. It was then t
Asher POVI raised my head from the pillow, eyes blinking against the morning light that streamed through the window. A yawn escaped my mouth as I stretched my arms and legs, feeling the impact of the night's make-out with her. Slowly, I sat up, my hair disheveled and there I was still heavy with sleep. But when I noticed the presence of the slender woman who was sleeping next to me, I had to pause whatever was going through my mind as I stared at her in awe, disbelief visible in my eyes.How could I not know?How could I not know that the woman right under my nose was my beloved wife, Daisy?Gently enough not to cause her to wake up, I rolled down the devout covering her chest up to confirm what I saw last night. The mark was still there, on her right breast, I was sure she was the one. This was the only thing I used to recognize her five years ago.“She's Daisy.’ That voice whispered in my head again, and the funniest, most unbelievable thing was that she was my mate.What is going
Daisy POVAsher had been everywhere around me. These days he closes early from work just to watch me with the kids, and at times he joins our conversation and plays with us. For a moment, we look like the perfect happy family that we were supposed to be, but I keep reminding myself that this isn't real.I was sure that he regretted everything he had done in the past, especially to me, and I doubted if he would ever stop blaming himself and hating himself. He always stays alone, if he is not reading in the room most of the time lost in thoughts and when I manage to watch him sleep in the afternoon during weekends he always has tears in his eyes. He always speaks in his dream like he was trying to reach out to me.And he has never relented in his search for me.At times, I wish I could just go up to him and tell him not to worry that I'm here with him, but I'm holding myself from doing that.Asher had dropped me off in front of my house as usual, but when I attempted to drop from his ca
Daisy POVAfter spending enough time with the children I was later told that evening that Asher needed to see me.I stood at the front of his library room, my heart beating harder against my chest as I wondered what would happen should I see Asher again.Would he recognize me or not?The guard who escorted me here knocked on the door and Asher answered him from inside.“The lady is here, sir.”“Let her in.” When I heard his voice my body went still for a moment as I tried to compose myself together so I wouldn't break down before him.“I'm now Ria, not Daisy,” I muttered to myself to bring back my courage and not act clumsy before him.As I walked into the room, the only sound was the soft whoosh of the door closing behind me. My eyes were drawn to Asher, who sat at a table, his head buried in a book. His hair was a mess, sticking up in all directions, and his face looked pale and drawn. He seemed to have lost weight since I'd last seen him. He didn't even look up from his book as I
Daisy POVI wonder how my children will feel should they see me again.Would they be curious or happy? I asked myself as I put extra work into my makeup. I want Asher to see me and be moved by my beauty. My wolf was getting excited for today's journey too. I don't even know if I would be able to keep the truth away from my children.When I got out of my car in the big gigantic compound of the Alpha King I couldn't help but remember the memories this place holds both the happy ones and even the heartbroken ones.It was hard to believe that people lived here. It was eerily quiet, like a graveyard. The place felt deserted, as though no one was home.I was told to remain outside so they could inform someone of my presence and as I waited deep inside me I wished I could be able to see Asher at this moment. I just needed to see his face, just for a while just a little bit I have missed him so much. I didn't know I loved this man so much until I was away from him.“Ma'am you can go in, madam
Daisy POVMy legs, my limbs, my entire body were all weak and unable to carry me when I tried to drive back home. I had to call Tiana to drive me back home because the revelation of what Nichole had been doing behind my back was too much for me to accept.Why would Nichole go this far just to bring me down? She had to fake her death and live a deceitful life just to make Asher like her, just to bring me down.She's my step sister but I have never thought any evil about her.Good thing I came back as someone's different all thanks to Kieran so this time I'm going to fight until I bring her down. I will expose her and she won't be able to escape my wrath.I had fainted while on the phone with Tiana who later drove me back home and when I woke up she wasn't here with me so I placed a call across to her to find me more information about the teacher needed for Juniper.Few hours later she called me back and told me that it's not just an ordinary teacher but someone who can make juniper tal
Daisy POVFrom the station, I went straight to check on my mother in the hospital but when I got there I was told that she had been discharged from the hospital and she's now receiving her treatment from home.So I drove to my father's mansion, a place I hadn't been for quite a long time. I felt a lump in my throat and my hands tightened around the steering wheel when I remembered how I was treated the last time I came here.But this time it would be different. I told myself as I came down from the car and I headed straight to the big gate.When I knocked on the black gate a few minutes later a guard opened up for me.“Yes, who are you?” He asked me with his body still blocking the way.I remained silent for a while. My voice was lost in words. It felt so strange that I was asked who I was at my father's house. This is the first time I have been asked such a question. Other times I'm ushered in though I wasn't warmly welcomed by the people inside. “Ma, who are you?” The security guy
Daisy POVDays turned to weeks and weeks into months, five months later I came back to Arizona feeling the air and lifestyle I left behind bringing fresh memories about my past and the desire to run back to my children and Asher but I'm holding back.After going through a lot of training and self-building with the help of my mate and his grandmother I'm finally back as a changed person.I changed the color of my hair from its natural blonde to dark brown, then my blue eyes to amber, and even my fashion style. It's like I changed everything about myself except my heart and the feelings I experienced.It wouldn't have been easy for me to pass through such a tough time alone but with the help of my mate and my wolf, I'm going to come out victorious.No one knows my identity except those I want to tell, I'm like the god of my life.First I sent Tiana to go check on my kids and she came back with reports that they're trying to cope except for Asher who has been the worst part of himself. I
Daisy POVWhen Mrs Gianna, Karien's grandmother told me that the process is painful and dangerous she wasn't joking about it and if not for the fact that restoring my wolf is that important I wouldn't have agreed to it.She has been like a God to me, she helped me to stay alive, she was hurt just to keep me safe so I was ready to do anything to bring her back.And besides, I can't go back to Arizona now. I need a perfect plan to be able to catch the person who wants me dead and if I don't want to risk my children's life I have to be extra careful and not be in a rush to go back.I'm doing this for my children and my wolf. I encouraged myself to stay strong as Madam Gianna explained what was to be done to me.“What are the things that trigger your nightmare?”She asked me very early the following day after I had agreed to carry out whatever had to be done.“Confined room, dark room, deep waters, and whenever I'm in danger.”“What are the things you usually see in your dreams repeatedl
