“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
“little did you know, that I’ve become quite a schemer.”Daisy’s POVAlec looked shocked to see me.And I tried to keep a smile on my face, hoping he wouldn’t see the guilt swirling in my eyes.“Daisy, what are you doing here?” He asked, his eyes scanning around the room, searching for clues.I noticed Kevin’s hard glare fixed on me. I needed to be alone with Alec, it was easy to reach out to him, than with the ever imposing Kevin’s smoldering presence.“Can we talk in private?” I said in a low voice, my eyes fixed on Kevin, who stood with a disdain look on his face.“Speak bitch,” Kevin growled.Alec had a tiny smile on his face, enjoying the interaction between Kevin and I.I kept a brave front, showing Kevin that I couldn’t be intimidated. And I enjoyed how it irked him, when he noticed my unwavering look.“I will only speak to Alec and Alec alone,” I growled out, staring at him in defiance.“Leave us,” Alec commanded Kevin.“Alec, you can’t possible be indulging this bitch,” Kevin
“I underestimated the power you held. I never saw it coming.”Daisy’s POVI should have questioned Alec.He had accepted my terms faster than I could blink twice.Why?Let’s say watching the number of guards and handmaidens he imposed on Blair and I. One would think we were royalty.“And you,” Alec turned his attention to me, his eyes gleaming in mischief at the instructions he was about to lay on me.“You will not in anyway communicate with any of your old pack members without my permission and in the presence of my guards and your handmaidens.” Alec stated, his lips curled in a crooked smile.“if you dare try to tempt me on my word, you will have to watch as my unhinged men have their fill of Blair’s body, and after that help her deliver what ever it is that remains of the baby in her womb,” he threatened.His eyes dared me to call his bluff but I knew better than that. Last night I had witnessed a man lose his fingers, his punishment for stealing from Alec.That wasn’t even the gor
“I look unstable, knees on the ground, begging for a redo.”Daisy’s POV“Guards,” he called, voice dripping with menace.“Please no, please,” Blair cried, her eyes in panic as the guards pushed forward.I dropped to my knees, my hands holding his feet, “Alec, please! I’m sorry!” I sobbed, my voice cracking from fear.“I’ll listen, I’ll obey,” I stuttered, desperately searching for the words to quell his anger.“Say it like you mean it,” Alec growled, his tone dripping with authority.“I will listen to every word you say, Alpha,” I said, bowing slightly to him.Alec’s eyes darkened, his chest puffed up at my action. “you look pretty when you beg,” he said in a lazy drawl.“she will live to see another day,” he muttered, storming out of the tent like he hadn’t just created havoc.I rushed to Blair’s side, my arms wrapping around her body, pulling her into a hug.“I’m so sorry,” I sobbed.Blair’s tears wet my shoulders, her broken sobs echoed through the quiet night.“I’m so sorry,” I ke
“I never trust a narcissist,”Hades’ POV“It’s confirmed, Alec Darius will be attending the goddess night,”My body vibrated in anger, Alec was goading, he knew it was impossible to hurt him on the goddess night. He was punishing my buttons for a reaction.The goddess night Is the night of the silver moon, every wolf gathers in my kingdom basking in the warmth of her love.The one night in a year we all let go of grudges, pain, hate and exist as children under the loving light of Selene the moon goddess.Alec coming meant he had bragging rights, and he was only here to gloat. The goddess had declared this night in the early years, her desperate attempt to save her children from the blood shed and hell they rained on each other.“I want him to pay too, but attacking him during the goddess night will just be us playing into his game,” Lucien reasoned. His clenched jaw showed just how annoyed by the situation he was.“Alpha Smith?” I asked.“still waiting on a reply from his council, but
“learning to smile, with eyes gleaming with pain.”Daisy’s POVThe crowd gasped. Their soft whispering caused Alec to smirk.This was what he wanted. Rubbing it in their faces that the Alpha King couldn’t protect his mate, how much more his subjects.He was swaying their hearts towards him.To crumble a king, take away his subjects.This wasn’t just a test for Hades, but for everyone who lived and called Hades their king.“Smile Daisy, you are happy to be with Alec, show them that,” Eve hissed beside me.Alec had placed her as my custodian.My fingers dug into my palm, my way of focusing on one pain and not the other, “sure,” I gritted out, plastering a wipe smile on my face.My heart fluttered, Hades stood in his full regalia, welcoming the packs and Alphas that came.I was nauseous, my stomach twisted in knots. This would be the first we are meeting since our fall and my abduction.“I can’t do this,” I whispered, my voice cracking as I spoke.“You don’t have to, but you must, think
Daisy’s POV“Are you okay?” Priya whispered in my ear, her voice in a low tone.My body felt at peace in their embrace, I was home.Alec’s eyes remained fixed on me, waiting to hear my reply.“I am okay,” I said in a monotone.They frowned pulling away from the hug.Alec smirked at my reply, “good girl,” he mouthed.I kept a stoic expression, hiding the look of irritation that was itching to show.Priya held my hand, trying to veer my attention to her. Her eyes had questions, that I wasn’t allowed to provide answers.“That’s good to hear,” Brittany cut in before Priya and throw a fit.“Let’s get you settled in,” Brittany’s voice filled with hospitality and warmth, welcoming me home.“This is your room,” Brittany said Pushing the door open for Alec to step in.“Daisy’s room is down the hall,” Brittany muttered.I kept myself from smiling, trust Britt to always find solutions in unruly places.“That won’t be necessary,” Alec muttered, raining on my joy.“We are a couple, it’s easier to
“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
