Daisy POV Asher stopping me from working in his company shouldn't be the end of the world for me, right? But it felt like the whole world was against me. I tried so much not to let it get to me, but it wasn't working after I had been rejected from all the companies I applied for a job with. Asher is like a god in Arizona, but I didn't expect getting a job would be this difficult for me after he sacked me. ‘Sorry ma, we have checked your qualifications, and we think it's good but due to some reasons, we can't employ you.’ “Why, why can't I just get a single job?” I banged my fist hard on the table as I saw another rejection staring at me on my computer screen. What exactly is wrong? That, I can't point a finger to because they all said my qualifications are good, yet they can't employ me. What exactly is the reason? Are they against me, just like how the Alpha is against me? I was about to shut down my computer and go on with my children when another message popped up on my scree
Daisy POV “Robert.” My breath heated, his name caught in my voice, a suspended moment of silence covered the entire place as if I had mentioned the name that should never be talked about as my mind flashed back to how he had hurt me in the past. How he shattered my life and left me broken beyond repair. How he had killed our unborn child just to be with my best friend. How he had snatched my joy away and made me train the child of his mistress, thinking he's mine. The thought of this made me want to cry because I don't deserve such wicked treatment, but the five years of being away from him had taught me countless things, and one of it was never to cry before him or become a weakling. I'm only a victim. I did nothing wrong. “Is this a coincidence?” I raised a brow at him, trying to bury my anger. “Sorry no, this is not a coincidence, I wanted to see you again.” His voice was barely above a whisper, as if he was afraid of being overheard. I scoffed, blinking my eyes severely, tryi
Asher POV I really want to trust Daisy, but I just can't. Whenever I'm at a step to trusting her, something always pulls me back. This was the same way I trusted my ex-wife but she only used it against me. So how can I trust that gender? Daisy has refused to take anything, not even a drop of water, though I felt a bit of pity for her, but that didn't move me to set her free. I don't trust her, nothing she said I would ever believe. I saw her coming from that man's car with a smile, and he even gave her his card. Who will help a stranded stranger on the road without something going on between them? How were they so close within the short period he drove her back home to even give her his card? So many thoughts kept rolling through my mind, but I couldn't deny the pain I felt in my heart with the slightest thought that Daisy could be cheating on me. After Loretta cheated on me 10 years ago with my brother, I have been insecure about being in a relationship with any woman. With how
Daisy POV Asher has refused to get me out of here. He has sent maids to bring food to me, but I refused to eat nor drink. He came by himself and served me, yet I refused. The only thing I need from him is to get me out of here, and once that happens, I will look for another perfect plan to run as far away from him as I can. This time I will take my time and come up with a better plan. A man still tied to his ex-wife can never move on from his past. I can't let him continue to pour all the aggression of what his ex-wife did to him in the past on me. For God's sake, I'm not his ex-wife. Why can't he just see me from a different perspective as me? Why should I continue to live under the shadow of his wife? I heard the rustling of keys and I quickly stood up from the corner I had curled myself to see who my savior could be, but when his features came into view through the other side of the gates separating us, my face changed into a deep frown. He's no savior but the Devil in handsome
Daisy POV Slowly, my eyes fluttered open. My head felt fuzzy, and I could hear the sound of my own shallow breathing. My body ached all over as if I had been sleeping in an uncomfortable position for hours. I blinked several times, trying to clear the haze from my mind. Gradually, my visions came into focus, and that was when I noticed my surroundings. I couldn't move my body because my hands and legs were tied, and I couldn't even scream because my mouth was sealed with tape. Good thing my eyes aren't covered. I looked around me taking note of my surroundings, I was in the middle of an empty big room with no single property except just the sofa I was tied on. That was when I remembered everything that happened before I lost consciousness. My children? A wave of fear washed over me as I recalled the phone call from the stranger who had threatened me. I shut my eyes tightly, struggling to process what was happening. Since I couldn't move from where I was tied, I began to use my le
Daisy POV “You think Asher can save you?” That was a question I wasn't sure of, judging by my relationship with Asher, I doubt if he gives a fuck about me. But there was a tiny part of me that kept hoping, kept waiting for him to come and save me. No matter how much I tried to deny it, a small, desperate part of me still believed that he was the only one who could help me. “Yes.” I nodded my head in assurance, even though I wasn't sure. “Asher doesn't care about you, he cares about no one but himself.” He confessed the bitter truth to me, which I wasn't ready to hear or believe. “What did you expect from a person who killed his brother?” Just like the first time that he told me this at the restaurant, a new wave of intense fear rushed through my body and I began to picture Asher as a monster with the blood of his brother dripping down his fingers. I had known that Asher had a dark past, but I had never imagined something so horrifying. What kind of man could do something like tha
Asher POV My hands clutched tight to the steering wheel as I drove back to the mansion after running around the bush in my wolf form like a rogue. Though I have numerous drivers, I just want to be alone, thinking over and over what Daisy told me. A part of me wished it was true that the children were mine, but deep down inside me, I didn't believe her. That woman can never be trusted. She's ready to do anything to get herself out of any situation she finds herself in. Why did she keep toying with my heart? I'm a coursed Alpha. No woman can carry my child or even give birth to one if she isn't my mate. Though my wolf is always drawn to her, and she was the only woman my wolf was ready to touch without reacting in pain due to what he has gone through in the past, that doesn't make her my mate. She doesn't have the scent of my mate, and the most horrible part is that I can't smell her wolf. My wolf growled in my head as I continued to think of the word mate, yet I don't know what exa
Daisy POV Robert was arrested by the cops, “I'll come back for you.” He said to me before he was finally taken away. There's no way he can come back for me when he's going to rot in jail. The fact that Asher is involved gave me that confidence because no one that starts a battle with Asher lives to survive it. I stood excitedly with my children when Asher ran past me, and he went to hug them. The happiness in his eyes was priceless as he hugged them warmly at the same time stroking their hair. The sight of my children smiling was a balm to my soul, a reminder that I was doing the right thing by giving them the life they deserved. But deep inside me, a nagging worry lingered, a fear that I couldn't quite shake. What if Asher takes them away from me? What does my life hold from this moment onwards? Are we going to live like a perfect family now? I can't help but worry about what my life will hold from this moment. Yes, I was happy to see them this way. What if the happiness doesn
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
