“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
“what a wicked game you play.”Daisy’s POV“Promise me, Daisy, if something happens to me, that you would make sure my child grows in a pack, that she would know what love and family is,”I tried to keep a brave front, but seeing Blair lying sick on the bed, broke me.“You are going to be alright,” I whispered, my fingers brushing her pale cheeks.“I will be, but I only need you to promise me this,” Blair said in a weak voice.“I promise,” I rushed the words out.Blair had a weak smile on her face, “thank you,” she mouthed.It’s been three weeks, and Blair has been feeling not so much like her usual self.“Go, I’ll be fine, I’m only going to rest for a bit,” she whispered her eyes dropping slowly.“I’ll be back as soon as I can make it,” I whispered, placing a quick kiss on her cheeks.I had gotten comfortable navigating through the camp, and in my late night wandering I had discovered a few places that were left unsupervised.The only thing that kept me back was Blair, it would be n
“Watching my world fall apart.”Hades’ POV“Hazel is here,” Lucien said.I nodded my head, the zeal to talk had become a luxury. It’s been way too long and I still have no idea where Daisy could be.Astrid has said nothing, other than crying and pleading for forgiveness. One would say she was trying to make amends for her sins.Hazel had a forlorn look on her face, it was entirely strange not seeing the usual peppy witch who was a burden of energy.It was obvious how much of Daisy’s absence had affected everyone.‘you really don’t know what you have until you lose it,’ I was beginning to hate that phrase.“Hazel,” I greeted, sending a tiny smile her way.“hades,” she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.I shook hands with Damien, who looked like he was in great pain watching his mate lose her shine.Seeing them together added more pain to my sorrows, it was like I was looking at what we would have been if I had been more attentive to Daisy.“sorry, we came as soon as we could,”
“never felt this broken and determined.”Daisy’s POVI couldn’t shut my eyes.It wasn’t fear that I felt, but I was angry.Angry at Bertha, at Alec, angry at everyone. Just at the fact that he had the mind to use Blair to threaten me.“So what’s your plan?” Blair asked.I had conveniently kept basics details of Alec offer from her knowledge.“Truthfully I don’t know, but the ultimatum is hanging around my neck like a noose.“I don’t think you should do it,” Blair whispered.A single tear rolled down my cheek, “that can’t be an option,” I muttered in a low voice.I walked out of the room leaving a confused Blair. I understood her reasoning, but I couldn’t be selfish, this sacrifice was worth it.I made my way towards the garden, ignoring the fixed eyes on me. I knew Eve was itching to tell the story.“why do you have a sad look?” Lorelei said from the blue.I darted my eyes around searching for where the voice was coming from.“Make it more entertaining to find me,” she chuckled, clea
