I was certain nothing else was making the whole of my body trembling this way except for one thing called fear.
My eyes were empty of other emotions except for FEAR, it was filled with so much panic.
The kind of fear that makes your skin crawl, the kind of fear that makes your bones shake..
I straddled behind an oak tree, panting extremely hard. Eyes darting everywhere in the premises to confirm the people I was running away from were still behind me. Or maybe I had finally escaped from them.
I was sobbing lowly, and every sound of my voice could be heard because of the heavy wind, so I pressed my palms against my mouth.
But I couldn’t stop myself from crying, I pressed my hands so hard against her mouth when I noticed some sounds trying to leak out. please where is Jessica, she cannot die please..
“ Where is the girl?” a man with a little broad shoulder sneered, his eyes scanning everywhere in the wood. god, I heard and smelled the anger in his voice, I felt like I wanted to immediately pee on my pants.
“ I don’t know where she is hiding , Boss.” another man behind the first one said.
“ And you have the gut to say it, find her!” he yelled out.
There were less than six men and certainly five men chasing me.
“ Spread out and look for her!” a voice lashed out.
I was seeing all of them, I dug myself deep other the tree. Lowly crying, I wasn’t just crying because I was being chased. What I saw happened in front of me, breaks my whole soul. I couldn’t bring myself to stop crying..
None of the men where suddenly around maybe they had ran to a different direction to find me, I began running out, I have to look for Jessica..
I went deep into the snow, running , holding branches of trees for support..
“Where the heck do you think you are going to, girl?” dang, chills ran down my spine. The weather was bloody cold but when I heard the voice, sweat dotted on my forehead immediately..
“ Pleas…” one grabbed me from behind, landing a tight slap on my face. My head and shoulder twist at the unexpected slap on my cheek. A pain shooting up on my shoulder as they gripped me.
“ You foolish girl! Do you think you can hide from us?” he grinned.
“Please let me go, I beg you..” hot tears trickling down on my cheek.
“ Boss , what do you think we should do to her? “ a man asked.
“ We will take her back to the pack. Then a punishment would be decided for her.” he ordered. My terrified eyes widened to the extreme. NO! I can’t go back to the pack, I can’t go please..
‘’ No, I’m not going! Don’t take me there please!” I began begging, tears streaming down on my cheek. The whole of my hair was messy, everything about me was completely messy at this point.
“ You don’t tell us what to do. Bring her!” the man ordered. They began dragging me, I was struggling with the little strength that I had. No I cannot go back there no way!
Strangely, someone jumped out of the forest from a tree, precisely. Because of the gloom I couldn’t see his face but I could tell his shoulder was very broad and his voice was very thick and deep.
I suddenly trembled when his aura filled my senses, the tension I had suddenly doubled. I was more terrified of the man who came out from the tree, than these men… His aura and the way he spoke was intimidating.
“ Let her go.” he said a little calmly.
The man holding me tightly on his grasp, shrugged. “ Who are you to give us such orders?”
“ Let her go right now!” he yelled, and I gasped.
“ Or Wh-”
“ Holy Shit!!!” I screamed, before the guy completed his question the strange man slit his damn throat immediately. No! I was scared than ever now…
“ Run!!” the other men letting go of me as they ran for their lives. They dropped me roughly on the ground. I began crawling back slowly away from the man in front of me… oh shit I was cursing under my heavy breathe.
“ Daisie!!!! it’s time to go to school,” I heard my aunt voice all the way from the kitchen. “ Get up or else you would be late for your last paper!” she yelled so loud, my aunt voice was usually so loud and active. No wonder she had always sang with my mom back then when I was much younger.“ Phew! Thank goodness it was just a dream. God please I don’t want to have a dream such as bad as this ever again!” I tightened my eyes. When I was about hopping out of my bed, I felt my covers drenched. Oh shit!, it must have been the dream. It was so terrifying as fuck. How can someone have such a dream scary as that?“ Daisy!! it’s 8am already, and you exam starts by 9am!!” she yelled again.“ I’m up aunt! I am getting ready, I would be there soon!” I announced as I quickly threw myself into the bathroom.I had less than an hour to be in the class room for my last papers, I rushed with my bath by spending just six minutes to bath. Maybe when I return I would take another bath before I assist a
Daisie POV I came out from the hall smiling beautifully. My last paper was a success and thank goodness I was done with school, that means I will have to join my aunt in her work and we don’t have to suffer any more from money. I know it wouldn’t be huge, but at least it would be better than the one my aunt brings back home. They say two head is better than one.“ Riley! I’m so happy we are finally done!” I heard Amal talking to Riley as they hugged themselves. I was standing alone at the entrance of our class. You must be wondering why no one has come to hug or congratulate me, that is because I have no friends.No one speaks to a poor orphan like me. Most of them all mocked at me either at my back or boldly to my face. But there is only one person who is different and that person is a guy.I stood for some minutes looking around the premises for the last time because I know I won’t step into this place ever again or even wear this uniform.I smiled to everywhere I turned to, I wal
Daisie POV After we finished eating lunch. I cleared out all the plates and returned them back to the washing basin.“ So can we discuss now, Jessica?” I asked, as I picked up the plate cleanser. Pouring it steadily on the dirty dishes.“ I had some more job left to be done, but I couldn’t. And they have been complaining a lot. Since you told me you would join me and you are done with school for now I was hoping you do them,” Jessica said, focusing at my eyes. “ They are mainly at night. But you won’t be staying two long, it would just be two hours only, Daisie.” she said politely, as if she wasn’t doing all these jobs because of me.“ Do you want me to be in charge of the ones at night?” I asked.“ Yes, can you Daisie?” her eyes are too cute when she speaks politely, they make my heart melt.“ YES OF COURSE!” I said, happily. I would do anything to support this beautiful soul.I didn’t tell you what the job is all about yet. My aunt does laundry and house cleaning for almost everyon
Daisie POV I remained locked inside the kitchen till I was no longer hearing any sound anymore. And it seemed the gathering party was over, because I couldn’t hear any noise any longer. I can’t tell how long I’ve been hear but I know it was past 1am already.I was still thinking on what happened to me some hours ago, why was I having so much heat inside of me? And those guys? And the odd smell?Out of the blue, I heard a knock on the door which jerked me out of my thoughts. “ I know you are in there, come out right now!” the voice sounded like an order, and I recognise that voice from earlier. It was the Beta’s voice.“ Come out now!” the second tone of the voice made me trembled. What is going on? I hope I haven’t caused any problem? I panicked..I slowly opened the door, and I met his rigid eyes filled with disgust. Maybe for me.. “ Come with me right now! I am taking you to the Alpha! All abominations or taboos must be killed just like others!” he said, and I froze. Sweating profu
Grey POVI crashed on the crispy dead leaves bearing the weight of a demigod. The smell of fresh blood excite me as a cake would excite a kid.The night falls into a dark thick blanket as the cloud gather up as though it was about to birth a storm. The cloud became thick and murky as the colour of a crow. I dug my knuckles full of blood into the wiggling branch of an oak tree.The blood on my knuckles wouldn't have been so exciting to me, only if they had not tempered with my Alisa. She would never have allowed her Grey out in the dark wood at this monstrous hour. But I don't care, my merciless beast had been invoked from its lazy slumber.The rogues ate my flesh and drank my blood as if it was some sweet wine- ah they dug their grave long before now. The agony would have been less severe if it was just her crying lonely in the shady room where she has always been locked in. At least it wouldn’t have made me go this wild. It had been better if I could only hear her silent tears from
Daisie POVIt’s been more than five days, I had completely been sold out to those people. I tried to hide everything from Jessica, but I forgot that she knew me in and out, just like a book. She knew despite being poor it has never for once gotten me depressed, but in the past five days she noticed a slight changes in my mood.Last night, I thought because it was dark she wouldn’t been able to see the bruises on me. The one the Beta and his mated had inflicted on me as their slave, my life was now like a toy. And if I dare protest, I- I am scared I will die.. and I can’t die and leave Jessica all alone here.. no I can’t..I had finished late just like the very first day I returned back late home. I had lied to Jessica that the work was bulky and everywhere was messy, so I had to spend some hours more to get the place completely tidy. I didn’t think I would be able to keep up with the lies, did I?I swear, I can bear being in pains but I never for once wants to see Jessica cry or in pa
Daisie PovHis black boot tipped into the ice, he slowly pushed himself forward to me as my heart beat frantically inside my wall.No I can't trust anyone. I can't risk it just because he had saved me from these rogues and those men. Throwing my steps backwards, I felt the sharp edge of the tree branches kissed my neck, I couldn't stomach the pain and the burns, but no fucking time! No time to moan the pain... Daisie Run! There is no safe place for you! I screamed to myself, taking off in a flash. I don't know where I was going, but I can't risk it to trust anyone No. I need to run away from that man.I don't care what my wolf says, I don't believe any male calling me their mate. I can't be trapped the second time. No!My legs were sinking into the snow, now I had only realised how difficult and inconvenient it was to use a snowshoe to run. I wasn't running fast, my wounds were making me slower like a weak prey, my predator was after me, I could feel the shadow. That fucking silver
Alpha Grey POVChicagoI felt a roar snarling up in my chest at the sight of watching her suffer from the pains in her swollen legs. I watched her from the mirror, she curled up in the back seat like prey, I can smell her great fear washing over her like a pour down.I gave my hand a right turn on the steering, pcking the black truck in front of the Mart-packing lot, she bumped her forehead against the back seat as I dragged the break to halt the car. The driving hadn't sickened her, but the number of head bumping she had got was irritating enough. The inconvenience was owed to the gallop on the roads, and the pot scraps holes disguised by snowflakes.She only lifted her face, after the heating of the engine laid to rest. Only then did she realise how icy the temperature outside and in the car was when the heat of the Truck decelerated. Unexpectedly, I wedge the brown boxes falling from the back with my hands, they attempted to fall on her face. She curled herself in the leather sea
**Charles POV**Time flies fast, and I wasn't having fun at all, I haven't even told Aria about it yet and yet, her eighteenth birthday was fast approaching.I was granted only eighteen year with him my daughter and I have spent it in trained being to toughen her.Her tears while her mom massages her body when we were done training did meet my ears.Aria respected me enough and never, for once, asked me why I was doing it, she just respected my decision.She knew something was definitely wrong and after asking in the very day my time with my daughter began counting, she never asked again.She just trusted me, even though didn't even trust myself anymore.I watched as she walked into the field as usual, for years now it has been this same ritual.After waking up and helping Aria, she would join me here before we proceed to the breakfast.I noticed immediately the foul mood on her face and frowned.No matter how hard I had pushed her, never, for once, have she joined me here with a bad
**Charles POV**Grey gave me time off to get myself together and my family.I realized that I might have been a jerk for keeping them in the dark and then acting very mean.Moreover, if h hadn't even me the time, I would have asked for it.I would rather not devote all my time to the pack anymore, but to look after Amelia and train her. The thought that the pack that would be taking her away from us is one of the strongest and powerful made me scared I don't want anything to happen to her and for that to happen, I would have to train her to be a strong woman. Someone who can boldly hold a sword to fight, someone who can defend herself with the sword, and a woman of knowledge.After making peace with both of them and giving reasons for my actions, I returned to the Charles thy knew.I wanted Amelia to have good memories when she leaves hereWhen she was ready for her training, I got her two teachers, the one that could impact knowledge on her and a solider who can fight.I wanted to
**Grey's POV**All through the night, I found sleep not forthcoming as my mind was filled with thoughts of Amelia.If there was a way to conceal her from eyes view before he had seen her, I would have done it, it was too late.Who knows, if he hadn't seen her?, He wouldn't have made such a heartbreaking request.Daisie stirred and pulled me closer, “I don't like seeing you up at an absurd hour and deep in thoughts”.I chuckled softly and wrapped my arms around her, “you can think about this when it's work hours” she said softly, snuggling into my warmth.I nodded and tried closing my eyes, but it just wasn't working, “I know you are bothered and also don't want to share, whenever you are ready, I'm here”.She planted a kiss on my cheek and held the hands I had wrapped around hers.I couldn't stop myself from staring at her, I felt so compelled to tell her, but it wasn't wise.She looked so peaceful, calm, and beautiful, sometimes I was unable to let go of the fact that Daisie was mine
**Aria POV** Finding out I was pregnant after everything we had been through together completed me.Yes, pack even seemed closer after all, we had celebrated my taking in and Grey's patching up with his dad.I knew we were finally getting our happily ever after sooner than it seemed.As I stared at Amelia playing figure, I made a promise to myself that I wasn't going to let her go through what I had.Amelia was going to have the most blissful life ever and would never suffer.My prayers weren't far from being answered, as Daisie already loved her so much that I feared that she was going to steal my babies from me.“Oh a watch me, fly” she said as she giggled.“Amelia, we don't fly, we walk and run” I said trying to correct her, but she ran to my front and gave me a toothy smile.“But I want to fly, momma”.I picked her up and place her on my laps, making her squeal in protest.It had always been this way since she was a child, she would rather let her dad carry her than me.The only
On my way home, I could feel my spirit die upon realizing I'm going to see Amelia.I became a shadow of myself and regardless of what I was told, I was still in that mood of mine.Even Amelia couldn't help bring me out of it because just seeing when alone brought down my spirits.“Oh Daddy, you are back… I can't wait to tell you what mom had some when you were gone” she exclaimed as she saw me.“Not now, Amelia” I scolded“Dad, is something wrong?” She had asked the moment I stepped into the house.I paused and couldn't help but ask why, what was her reason for asking?Could she sense the distress I was going throughout now because of the love I have for her?A selfish thought entered my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder why Grey and Daisie didn't have a child.Why did it have to be mine that would be used as a living sacrifice?Worst still there was no other way to this, no corny or simpler way, it was either Amelia or get killed and still, they get Amelia.“First of all, you came
Charles POV I gritted my teeth as the thought that Amelia was what they wanted. They saw nothing else to pluck but my angel and with the pain, I could see plainly in Grey's eyes, it was obvious that he was also against this. So many good memories began flooding through my mind, especially the day that I had found that Aria was pregnant at that time. The coming of Amelia was a gift to everyone but us and the pack, it was unexpected and unplanned. We had just defeated our long-time enemy, and then Grey had rekindled his relationship with his Dad. Her coming have brought nothing but joy and laughter into our lives, more especially Aria's. She seemed more alive and made me fall in love with her the more, we have been through a lot to be asked of this now. Of all things for the rival pack to want, it's our baby girl and I didn't like that idea one bit, who was I kidding, no father in my case would. I didn't even know when tears escaped my eyes and in no time, they flooded my eyes,
Charles POVAria leaned on me as we walked slowly into the vehicle we brought. Charles had his own parked someone, so Daisie went with him while Rug got in on his own truck. Finally, everyone seemed relax, the villains are dead and the truth as been revealed to Grey.I helped Aria up into the front seat. I tightened her seat beat, but she looked exhausted, as though she could not lift a finger. “ Aria are you okay?” I asked, she nodded. Then made my furrow brow, relaxed. Maybe she was stressed out from the fight or seeing her two sisters dead was heart breathing. It could break her whole soul by she was handling it well.I got into the driver seat, turned on the engine while I shut the windows. Aria has been complaining about cold, it would do her more good if the windows are all closed.She leaned her head on the seat with her eyes shut as though she was sleeping. When we arrived at the pack, she didn’t even know. Was she alright?“ Babe, we are home.” I kissed her cheek, taking off m
Grey POV:I stared confused at Rug and this witch. I thought Rug let my mom locked in the dark room, while it let her grew weakened until she escaped into the wood and got killed by Rogues? What was he saying now, about my mother giving her life up for me?Lisa eyes turned completely black, her pupils were now gray as she work her spell on Rug. “ Nothing is going to save your son from me, not even you!” Lisa bounced a finger on the side of his.Rug struggled, his hands laced around his throat as he fought to diseffect her attack. But nothing was working. Rug was slowly collapsing to his knees.His eyes were slowly shutting, but his mouth seemed to be moving as though he wants to say something.He forced his neck to turn as he shot a weird glance at me as if he was about to say his last words to me. Something his inside of me flared up in rage as his eyes seemed to be closing. “ Son, I never did anything wicked to your mom,” he cough out, I wanted to run and grabbed him to relax and not
Third POVLolchan did as Dolion told him, he grabbed her ripping everything off from her waist. Daisie was apparently naked, and her legs widely spread so he could insert the syringe into her pussy. It was just ten minutes more for the sperm to dissolve, but before it does he would insert it into her. Then she can be his forever, because she would have his child in her womb.“ No, please don’t do this to me..” her face flooded with her tears.“ Sorry, it is going deep into your pussy now-”“ Ahh!” an unexpected kick, threw the syringe off his hands, he couldn’t tell where it flew to. Before he was able to detect the syringe, there was another kick at his face. Making his face seemed compressed like a plastic.“ Daisie!” a female beside Charles screamed. How the heck has they found here? Dolion frowned, turning into my wolf. Charles seemed to be ready for the fight, he began making his wolf take over, this kind of battle they left their wolves take over, it was not a fight for the fle
