“learning to smile, with eyes gleaming with pain.”

Daisy’s POV

The 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

    “I hope you see that it’s not so easy for me.”Daisy’s POVThe tension in the room was palpable. The only sound was the punitive weight of silence.It was customary to have breakfast with the Alpha King before joining the rest of the pack in preparations for the goddess night.It wasn’t significantly important for the wives of the Alphas to be present. But in my case, Alec wouldn’t give me such luxury.My mouth was in a constant bitterness, the food tasted bland as it slid down my throat.Alec sat by my side, his hand wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me impossibly closer to his side.“Thank you Hades for the warm welcome,” he muttered, his eyes gleaming with mischief.The cutlery snapped in Hades’ hand, his eyes narrowed in anger, watching Alec play with a loose strand of my hair.Through all this torture, a smile was still plastered on my lips.“smile till your teeth bleeds or Blair bleeds,” Alec’s gentle reminder echoed in my mind.I could feel Hades eyes trying to find mine, bu

I just need a moment to exhale, can I do that?” I uttered, staring at Eve with a hard glare.It had a low success rate, but I was willing to try.I was playing the offense, going for her inner self.Eve’s stance faltered, “I am just tired, and I needed just a minute to find myself,” I whispered, my voice cracking.I was laying it on thick, I couldn’t hive her the space to discover herself.“You can check around, no one is here, it’s just you and I,” I said in a broken voice, sitting down on the garden floor.“Does Alec know you are here?” she asked in a much calmer tone.“No, I left immediatel

    Daisy’s POVThe goddess night ritual had gone without any hitch.Alec looked respectful, staring intently at the moon, setting his intentions.He barely paid Hades any mind. I could see the confusion on every ones faces. To an outsider it would look like Alec had a change of heart, but I knew better.Alec’s weapons were easy to decipher. He would bait till he doesn’t and then he just attacks.I could feel priya’s eyes on me through the ritual, and I ignored her, it was easier to avoid eyes that have to think of ways to tell them you couldn’t exactly move until Alec said jump.Alec had it all perfectly planned, he had pretended to be busy with the bottle of whiskey at the bar, while I discreetly told the maid the practiced message to Hades.Alec had made a show of being light on the feet from intoxication. I watched from the corner as he picked a fight with an Alpha, an ally I would assume. Alec’s guards rushed towards him, taking a shouting Alec out of the room.Eve winked at me as

    “you had to kill me, but it killed you more.”Hades’ POV“They are leaving,” Lucien said.I could feel the judgement in his eyes. I would have judged me too but each bottle of rum didn’t send to have judgment at the bottom and I had searched through five bottles.“What happened last night?” Lucien asked.His eyes had followed me as I sneaked out, following Daisy to the library.I shook my head slightly, trying to rid myself of the thought. Her words hurt but I couldn’t get over the look in her eyes, like she couldn’t bare the thought of standing in the library.I could tell something was off with her, but there wasn’t a way to tell.Her words were a blow to my chest, each word slicked through my already broken heart, breaking any hope I had.“Hades,” Lucien growled, slamming his fist against the surface of my table.“I choose Alec,” her words echoed in my ears.I was too late.“Enough of this sob party,” Lucien yelled.“what fucking happened?”“everything!” I shouted.“Every fucking

    “strategy sets the scene for the tale.”Daisy’s POVI knew my words had hurt.But I had wished they would at least stand outside to watch us leave.I wasn’t expecting Hades to stand outside, but Brittany and Priya, would have at least tried.“Don’t look so broken, he is just getting over the heart break,” Alec taunted, wrapping his hands gently around a sleeping Eve.In some moments, I would see his demeanor crack and his resolve would falter as he stayed at Eve with so much gentleness in his eyes.Blair squeezed my hand gently.I kept my eyes focused on the building that was slowly getting out of sight. My eyes widened, seeing Hades rush out of the building, just before our carriage passed through the gate.“I love you,” I mouthed, praying that the wind would take my message to him.Blair’s thumb rubbed soothing circles on my hand, reminding me of her presence.The gate had closed but Hades eyes still followed me.“you are alright,” Blair whispered.I nodded my head, her words comfor

    “a chain reaction of counter moves, I have become the mastermind.”Daisy’s POV“Do you think he knows?”My face brightened, watching Blair emerge from the tree shadows.Alec’s greatest weapon was the power of surprise.It was the night he held her on a choke hold that brought everything to light. A plan had formed in my head when she told me everything she had gone through under his ruling.Alec underestimated me, and that was my weapon.“A narcissist never sees past his shadow,” I muttered, pulling her inti a deep hug.“I was so scared he would hear how loud my heart was beating,” she whispered in my ear, her voice trembling.Blair was still shaken up, after Alec had brought up her dead lover.“you are fine now,” I whispered in her ear, rubbing her back soothingly.One thing about our massive fall out was the fact that Alec had lost his bargaining chip.Blair was free.“how are you feeling?” I asked, taking in her tired face.“it’s better, knowing that I don’t have to be looking over

Its steps were slow and quiet.Light flashed across the sword that was pulled from his back sheath.He was going to kill me and no one would know. My fingers slowly touched the ground of the tent, and I gently gathered enough sand in my hands.I waited with a racing heart as the figure approached, and I lunged, aiming for the his eyes.The sword clanked, and my assailant gave a loud hiss, trying to subdue the pain he was feeling in his eyes.My feet ran faster than I could imagine.. “help me,” I screamed my voice trembling in fear.Alec rushed out of his tent, his eyes wild searching around for the danger.“There’s a man on my room with a sword” I screamed from my lungs.Some guards rushed into my room, surprised to find the assailant still writh

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.

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

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
