“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
“while, good plans don’t last.” Daisy’s POV I was up before the first crow. Today was a great day. I had a lot to cover in a short period of time. “Daisy,” Eve called, cat walking towards me with a sly grin on her face. “Yes?” I said in a sharp tone. Eve only smiled broader, it was almost like she was expecting me to want to throw my fist. “We are partners!!” Eve shrieked, looking like she had won a lottery. “what?” I muttered, frowning my face at the overly excited girl. “Since Blair is sick, Alec made me your partner,” she explained. This wasn’t happening, if she was around me and I knew she was going to hover, it was going to make my mission ten times harder than needed. “we are going to be best of mates,” se laughed, leading the way to Alec’s office. I wanted to put my hands in my hair and rip them out. Eve was a crazy psycho that I tried to avoid. I knew she still had grudges, it was obvious that she hated me for cutting her time with Alec. I knew she w
“Another odyssey and I am excited,”Daisy’s POVTwo years laterThe shrieks of laughter echoed through the meadow.I sat quietly on the porch watching the kids as they played around the lake. It was only a few months after the birth of our twins that Hades had admitted he had been building our family.And in less than a year later Hades had some how convinced me and now I was planning on another baby.“Amani, you have to let your brother have the ball” I scolded, rubbing my stomach as I felt the baby move.The twins were just a few months shy of turning two and they were just as domineering as Hades.It was funny watching them growl at any boy that tried to play with Amani.The only thing that kept Gina safe was the fact that she was bigger and has always imposed her age, but that didn’t stop the boys from always scaring her friends away .I could swear they did it most of the time to see how well they can piss her off.Hades emerged from the house with a glass filled with lemonade. M
“been waiting for so long, nice to meet you”Author’s POVIt was subtle, the pain had sneaked up on Daisy while she was in the bathroom. She had sneaked into the bathroom alone even after Hades warned her not to.They were at the final stages of pregnancy and they knew the babies would cover at any point.“Hades!” Daisy screamed, feeling the excruciating run through her back. It felt like the kids were clawing at the lining of her wall, trying to break out.Hades rushed into the bathroom, his eyes wide in shock, noticing Daisy standing in a pool of water by her feet.“We have to get to the clinic,” Daisy cried.Hades nodded, he had been prepping himself for this moment. And he wasn’t going to panic.“Hades!” Daisy growled, snapping him out of his frozen position.“right, let’s go,” he said picking Daisy up from the ground.Gina had heard the loud voices coming from daisy’s room and she had ran out of her room only to find Hades with a sobbing Daisy in his arms.“Gina, can you get Aman
“each day feels the same, only that the love intensifies.” Daisy’s POV The news came in strides of three. Xavier had sent someone to inform me about the news of Astrid’s baby. Priya was moving in with Alaric even though that meant we would barely see her, but we were still happy for the next phase in their lives. The last was Brittany commenting about the two heart beats that echoed through my stomach. Hades had pressed his ears to my stomach hoping to tell Brittany that she was wrong. Hades raised his head, his eyes gleaming with shock as he confirmed the news. “we are having twins” I whispered softly. Hades wrapped his arms around me, sending warmth through my body as it touched his. “We are having twins” he repeated. Brittany had sneaked out of the room giving us the privacy she knew we needed. “Are you happy?” Hades asked, looking at my face with an unsure look on his face. I understood his apprehension but I needed him to know that I had gotten better and s
“the skies smiled blue, the days felt yellow, this is happiness.”Daisy’s POVI died of embarrassment a thousand times over, every time I recalled Lucien’s teasing tone in Hades’ office.Hades wasn’t a good help either, he had laughed all through it as I crawled out from underneath the table.I couldn’t help but wonder if the rest of the people had heard or it was only Lucien that hard figured it out.“I would have paid to see that” Priya laughed, slapping her knees as she did.I decided to tell them about the encounter before they heard it from Lucien.Brittany frowned slightly with a teasing look on her face. I could see the mischievous glint in her eyes and I knew she was about to harass Priya.“You would pay to watch Daisy have sex?” She whispered.Priya stopped, her eyes wide like saucers as she heard the words fly out of Brittany’s mouth.“What, ewwwww no,” she spluttered, shuddering at the thought.“But you just said,” Brittany said, looking like she was trying to understand wh
“it’s cute how you want my touch for life.”Hades’ POVIt couldn’t get any better than this. I would love to apologize for thinking that when Daisy had marked me that she was possessive and needy, because obviously I hadn’t seen a pregnant Daisy.It has been a rollercoaster of emotions these few months, with lots of highs and a tremendous amount of lows.The highs being the fact that Daisy had become a libidinous teenager, which I wasn’t complaining.A smile formed on my lips as I recalled a night I had woken up to daisy crying loudly in our room.I had assumed it was one of her cravings and I immediately panicked wondering what it was that I would be fetching.“you don’t want me anymore” Daisy cried, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed.“what gave you such outrageous idea?” I asked in a low tone, my heart beating wildly in my chest, noticing the way she was hyperventilating from how long she had cried, the sight alone broke my heart in a thousand pieces.“baby you have to ta
“my broken heart has finally mended, all I am now is complete.”Daisy’s POVI sat frozen in shock.“Congratulations Luna,” the doctor said.I blinked, trying to process the words he had just said.“Pregnant?” I whispered.The doctor nodded, looking excited at the news.“Would you like the Alpha king to be brought here?” He asked.The thought of Hades snapped me back to reality.“Hades” I whispered.We haven’t really talked about children, apart from teasing here and there, I wasn’t sure I knew his stance on children.Yes, he was awesome with Amani, but I couldn’t be sure if he wanted another baby soon.“Luna?” the doctor called, staring at me with a confused look in his eyes.“Yes, sorry, I will tell him myself,” I muttered.“thank you doctor,” I whispered, walking out of the room.Gina jumped up from her chair, excited to see me like I had been gone for eternity.“was it a bug?” she asks in a curious tone.“Yes,” I replied, leading her out of the clinic.Gina chirped away as we walk
“all at once, you are the one I have been hoping for.”Daisy’s POV“You should get yourself checked out, one thing I had swallowed a bug and I couldn’t stop puking for days,” Gina said.I have been vomiting at the slightest provocation lately, it was like my nose had become excessively sensitive to certain scents.I couldn’t bother Hades with it as he has been busy with the council of elders trying to find a suitable leader for the pack.“It’s not a bug Gina, it might just be something that I ate,” I sighed, leaning on the bathroom counter hoping to stop the nausea I was feeling.“you’ll never know,” Gina whisper yelled, frowning at me.“I think I would definitely know if I have swallowed a bug” I sighed, feeling slightly exhausted.Gina shook her head disapprovingly at my logic.“you would never know,” she whispered, helping cover my body with the bed sheet.Amani had thrown a tantrum when Hades was about leaving for the council meeting and the only resolution was for Hades to take h
“king of my body, my heart and my soul.”Daisy’s POVIt’s been a long year.I had barely noticed.“I Daisy Arkinos, daughter of Arkinos, Fae warrior, accept you Hades knight as my mate,” I whispered.There wasn’t any argument in it, I had loved Hades from the beginning and they was absolutely nothing in the world that would take that away.Hades released a long sigh like he was afraid of the response that would come from me.“I love you,” I cried, falling to my knees.Hades’ arms wrapped around me, a loud smile forming on his lips as he heard my words.“I love you” Hades muttered, kissing all over my face.I shrieked, laughing out loud as he licked the tip of my nose.“You should have told me, rather than let me rack my head thinking of possible answers,” I hissed, slapping his chest.Hades laughed, “I told you the answer every single night,” he muttered.I gasped, “there weren’t my imaginations,” I said softly.Hades chuckled enjoying the look of realization on my face.“I love you,”
“I know exactly where it leads but I watch us go round and round each time.”Daisy’s POVIt felt déjà vu.“I didn’t order this” I said softly to the bartender, who had dropped a tumbler of bourbon.“He did,” she replied putting to a direction behind me.I turned, my eyes widening as I noticed Hades sitting in the corner with a glass in hand.A smile formed on my lips, my face brightening up immediately I noticed him.“Thank you,” I whispered to the bartender, jumping down from my stool and rushing towards Hades.“Hades” I called out, wondering why he wasn’t looking up a me.Hades finally raised his head, his eyes gleaming with mischief.“Hi, I am Hades,” he said, stretching out his hand for a hand shake.“Daisy,” I replied softly, deciding to go along with his game.“What’s a beautiful flower, doing in a damned place like this?” he said with a teasing smile.My eyes met Hades’ gaze and it was like the same intensity of the first night we had met.“Searching for a flower,” I said, my v
