“forging my way, through the path of loneliness.”Daisy’s POVI woke up with a start, my eyes wide and my heart pounding heavily in my chest.“It’s only a dream,” I muttered, my hand rubbing my chest to calm the turmoil.It was like I couldn’t escape the sad reality of things, Astrid had played on my weakness, taking away my happiness from me.I relived the moment of dread, every night, the dream would start with Hades kissing my chest. And with a tiny smile on his face, he will let Astrid lead him away from me.A scream tore out of me, startling Bertha who was sleeping quietly unaware of the danger that lurked in the shadow.“Alec?” I whispered.Alec smiled, his eyes filled with amusement, “I didn’t mean to scare you,” he whispered casually.“then you failed miserably,” I snapped.My hand flew to my mouth, covering it and trying to keep it from blurting out more unpolished thoughts.Alec smiled, “I like the uncensored version of you,” he muttered.It was dead in the night, and I cou
“nowhere to run, but my feet keep moving.”Daisy’s POV“So what’s your pack like?”I paused, my hands shaking slightly as she asked the question I have been scared of.Blair and I had gotten pretty close over the days, it was easy to form some sort of alliance.I always tried to handle the heavy part of our chores leaving her to the light and easy ones.I still wake up in panic, searching around for a pair of hazel eyes. My breathing would only even out after I was sure there wasn’t anything lurking in the corner.“It was pretty basic, I mostly kept to myself,” I muttered..Blair seemed to have caught the drift, she knew when to let things go and not push, and somehow I liked that about her.“We have to go,” Blair whispered, her eyes wide in panic, pulling my arm roughly.“What’s going on?” I asked, matching her steps.Blair looked like she had seen a ghost, her eyes wide, and breath coming in short pantsBlair only paused after we had placed quite a distance between us and Alec’s ten
“standing alone on the sea like a greying tower.”Daisy’s POVThe sound of crickets chirping echoed through the night air. My body was still drumming with tension, a lot has happened since Alec’s return.“Bertha,” I whispered.“What” she answered.I rolled my eyes at her brashness, I was getting accustomed to her character.“Bertha, I need to leave,”“And where would you go? She asked.“I don’t know, but anywhere but here,” I whispered.It was late in the night, Bertha had decided to stay awake with me, her words; ‘I don’t need a dead room mate in the morning,’“Do you have a plan?” She asked, suddenly interested.“Not yet, but I’ll figure it out, I’m resourceful like that,” I mumbled.“Let me know every step you plan to take,” she muttered.“why haven’t you ever thought about leaving?” I asked.Bertha sighed, “not everything is as it seems,” she muttered.My brows furrowed at her words, Bertha was good with words and I was jealousy starting to discover that.“Good night,” I whispered
“in a constant battle with myself, trying to know my pain.”Hades’ POV“Again,”“Al..alpha” the pathetic executioner stammered.“Again,” I growled, my eyes darkening.This was the only way to feel. After I had discovered her abduction, I had become numb. It was like with Daisy gone, so was my sunshine.My wolf howled not from the pain of the silver chain whip slashing through my skin, but for the fact that we had failed to protect our own.“Leave” Lucien growled, his eyes darkening, showing the presence of his wolf.I heard the silver chain whip clank on the cold floor, the rushed steps of the coward I can executioner echoing down the hallway.“Control yourself Hades,” Lucien growled.My body vibrated with anger, the walls rumbled, “where is she?” I snarled, my eyes darkening and claws drawing out.The fetters snapped, and I flexed my wrist. There was no chain that could hold me. My shoulders bumped roughly into Lucien, causing him to stagger and I walked pass him into the bathroom.
“the old familiar ache of betrayal.”Daisy’s POV“I have a plan,”The words seemed to have caught bertha’s interest.“I have noticed just how a particular carriage comes in every three days, with new supplies,” I whispered, watching Bertha nod her head vigorously.“I have studied their movement, and I have noticed that they barely check the carriage when it is leaving the camp,” I muttered.“The next arrival is tomorrow, and I am going to hide in it,” I said, finally dropping the bombshell.Bertha’s eyes widened, “did you get any help planning this?” she whispered.“no, I told you I was resourceful, I only needed to observe and everything would make perfect sense,” I bragged, smirking to myself.I could see the wheels turning in her head, she had questions, a lot of them I was sure, but the plan wasn’t perfect, it had a goal to serve.“I am going to turn in early, tomorrow is a big day,” I said.“Yes it is,” Bertha muttered.“sleep tight,” she whispered.I turned my face to the wall,
“howling at the moon, praying for a chance to change the prophecy.”Daisy’s POV“How can I be sure that you won’t betray me like you just did Alec?”Lorelei laughed, her laugh echoed through the garden. Sending shivers down my spine. It wrapped around your body like a smoke, making your skin prickle with an unsettling feeling.“My loyalties lies with no one but myself,” she replied.“Do you accept my deal?” She said, every trace of playfulness gone.“Deal,” I muttered, stretching my hand to accept her outstretched hand.I yelped, drawing my hand away from her grip instantly. My eyes on the blood on my palm.“What did you do? I growled, watching her smirk, eyeing my palm.“nothing, I sealed our deal with blood,” she replied, her eyes gleaming with mischief.“Three acts of kindness and then you owe me,” she muttered, vanishing into the fog that had firmed behind her.My eyes snapped open, confusion bubbling in my mind. I tried to come to the terms with the vivid dream I just had.I winc
“poisoned blood from youth, boiled into hate,” Daisy’s POV Blair couldn’t make it. Leaving me alone to face the daunting task of cleaning Alec’s room alone. My eyes widened, seeing Alec stand in the corner naked, with a maid on her knees pleasuring him. Alec smirked, “leave” he commanded the maid on her knees, pulling her head from him. I had second hand embarrassment, at the way he discarded the maid. The girl had a frown on her face, picking up her clothes that were littered around the room. “Bitch” she growled at me, shoving her shoulders into mine causing it stumble. I had a puzzled look on my face, trying to understand what I had done to her. “do you want to finish what she started?” Alec asked, standing in his full glory, looking lazily at me. I kept my eyes stuck on the ground, waiting for him to cover himself up. I held Alec groan lowly, “I can’t stop imaging how tight you would feel wrapped around me,” he said in a husky voice. “look at me Daisy,” he rasp
“We had become products of the hate we received.”Daisy’s POV“My father couldn’t handle the loss of his mate. Killed himself that night, broke the last straw that held my mother’s sanity,”The words lingered in the air, my heart thundering loudly in my chest at the final blow he had just dropped.My body ran cold, feeling his dead stare on my body.“I had only tried to save her but in turn, I had killed her,” he muttered, throwing his head back, downing the last content in the cup, down his throat.“Leave” he growled in a dark voice.I shuffled to my feet, stumbling, trying to run out of the tent faster.Alec’s voice echoed behind me, no one had the right to experience what he did.Alec and I had almost the same growing up, and in a way I found myself understanding his hatred.Alec was fighting to save his mother. Even through out these years, you could see from a mile away that she still had her tentacles deep into Alec controlling his every move.I found Bertha sitting under a tree
