MAX’ POVAbout thirty minutes had passed since I got a call from the cops, and then all of a sudden, my phone rang. when I glanced at it, I noticed it was Nicholas who was calling. So, I answered his call.“What’s the update?” I asked him as he was with the cops, the whole time.And for him to have been the one to call me, I didn’t think they had any luck in finding Jezebel’s body. “Her body is missing. She might have been devoured by the creatures.” He informed me, and I sighed. “Alright then. Talk to you later.”As I dropped the call, I sighed deeply again. Well, if they had searched over and over, than it meant that she was really gone. Although, it was quite disturbing that I didn’t see it with my naked eyes, but I had no choice than to give up on the search.It also annoyed me that I kept getting worried over someone who had done many worse things to I, Daisy and our children. I shook my head, and decided to forget about her, since she wasn’t even supposed to be in my head, at
DAISY’S POV“Daisy? Wow. Been a long while.” Two of the neighbors who came in, uttered as they looked at me in surprise.I only smiled shyly at them, and they looked so happy to see me.“Why are you all being so nice? Isn’t she a wicked daughter? She hasn’t been here, in years to see her father, and only came when I sent a text to her. You don’t deserve to live among us.” Mrs. Dane shouted at the top of her voice.Surprisingly, the other neighbors urged her to leave, and even had to drag her awayAlthough, my step-father wasn’t a man I loved, because he made me dislike him, especially because of the pain he made me go through, but I felt sorry for his death.“What was the cause of his death?” I asked, out of curiosity.“He died of kidney stones, due to his bad drinking habit, Daisy.” Mrs. Powell answered me, softly. “I’ll take you to his grave.” She offered, and I had to wait for her to get properly dressed before she took me to his grave which wasn’t really far, so we didn’t need to
DAISY’S POVI felt the urge to ask him why he had been staring, but the situation was just too eerie for me to bother asking. Who knew what it could lead to, if I actually tried to ask?Without wasting much time, I picked up all that I wanted to get, and then paid for it, even without collecting the change as I had told the seller not to bother.Just as I began to head back to where Max and our children were, I heard quickened footsteps behind me, and I almost screamed, if not that he jumped right in front of me.Although, I gasped in shock as I wasn’t expecting him to pop up just in front of me.“Why are you stalking me!” I voiced out, trying to muster up the courage to confront him.But then, he chuckled, and swept his flying hair, to the back.“Stalk you? You just met me at the shop. There’s no way I was stalking you.”“But you kept staring at me.”“Oh, that? I was admiring you. I love the way you look. You are a very beautiful woman.” He complimented me, staring at me with lustful
MAX’ POVThe next day, I went to see the executive in the hospital. I had been unable to see him the previous evening because he was sleeping, and I didn't want to interrupt his sleep. He was sitting up, watching the news when I came in.“Alpha Max…” He said, trying to get to his feet, but I stopped him.“How are you feeling?” I asked, and placed the fruits I got for him on the little table over his legs. “I’m sorry. I…”“You're sorry? That was none of your fault.”“A reporter came by and saw me injured.”“Oh yeah, that reporter? He came to threaten me.” I said, with a laugh. “What? How dare he?”“Let him be. Just focus on your health.”“I'm healing already. It was a deep gash, but I'm already healing. Even if he speaks to the public, I'm going to tell them I had no injury, and came here for something entirely different.”“You don't have to do that…” I began, but he shook his head.“A few of my colleagues came and told me the whole story. Alex was such a sweet boy, and in exchange,
Daisy's POV"I have said you will go to school next year!" He yelled at me "Next year?" I scoffed.It all seemed like a dream to me. I could not wrap my head around it. Everything around me was happening so fast."Is that promise you made to Mother!?" I yelled back."I will not answer to you." My stepfather gritted his teeth.I knew the signs of his uncontrollable anger and I knew the consequences if I continued speaking but I had had enough! This had been going on for months and my life was in danger."You don't have to answer to me. Your actions have done that a long time ago. You pranced around the Pack with different sizes of women while you squandered my trust fund like a spoilt child and now you tell me to wait a year?" I was like an uncorked overpressured bottle."What about the times I had to clean up your mess also? Have you forgotten how you made me lose this same chance last year with your gambling habit?""You gambled my tuition fee and came back home with nothing! Since
Daisy's POV. I stayed curled up on the bed with tears streaming from my eyes. I had been crying for days but no one had come to me nor had Alpha Maximilian who took me from my stepfather. That day I begged my stepfather to allow me to stay with him, that I would never make any complaint about my tuition fees or his bad habits but he paid deaf ears to all my pleading. He pushed me away when I tried getting closer to him. He said a lot of awful things to me and confessed how much he loathed me. I knew he hated but I didn't know he detested me so much to sell me to a heartless Alpha. Though Alpha Maximilian hadn't done anything to me since I arrived here, I was still afraid. I exhaled sharply and pushed those thoughts aside. I sat up and folded my knees upwards then pressed them against my soft breasts. "Why did you have to leave me?" I cried and buried my face in between my knees. "Why did you leave me to suffer so much?"My mother committed the mistake of being with the wrong per
Daisy's POV. I gaped at him, wondering what he was trying to do. I yanked his hands from my buttons and stepped away from him. "What are you doing?" I challenged him, not hiding my glare at all. He frowned at me and grabbed my arms again, at this rate, I knew that would break my arms off. "Are you this naive or acting stupid?" Alpha Maximilian asked mockingly. His blue eyes had darkened and instead of scaring me, I found them beautiful. Staring into his eyes felt like drowning in a dark hole or rather into the pit of hell but relishing it. I wasn't listening to anything he said, his eyes were everything. Though they maintained their coldness, I fancied them. "Look down!" I heard his roaring Alpha's voice. I regained my senses and lowered my gaze, I had angered him enough. He wasn't known to be such a patient person. "Any more words or resistance from you and you will be very wistful" He threatened and released my arms.Then, he reached for my buttons again. My breath halted,
Daisy's POV. Three months later… I had been staying here for some months now and I looked forward to each time he made love to me because he went easier on me and was only back to his stony expression when he was done.Sometimes I wished it could last for days because I knew that beneath that stoicism, there was a cool man. The Packhouse had lots of servants who were extremely nice to me, especially Beta Travis, who had been the kindest person I had ever met, probably after my mother. I thought that after a night together, Alpha Maximilian would continue treating me in that way but I assumed wrong. He didn't regard me with those desirable orbs except during sex.It was my eighteenth birthday today and I was supposed to get a mate from the moon goddess but I doubted if that would happen especially since I now belonged to a man who would invade hell before he let me go.I was locked up here with Alpha Maximilian. How pathetic could my life be? Fresh tears filled my eyes and I wiped
