“look how my tears ricochet,” Daisy’s POV How do you get over? In less than two days I had become a mother. The rest of the people had returned to their to jobs like nothing happened. They were quick to move on and it hurt. “Your mother was the bravest person I know,” I whispered to Amani, gently rocking her to sleep. No one even dated to offer to watch her, I was like a wild bird, unhinged and completely obsessed with her young. “Hi” Eve muttered, walking into the tent. She was persistent, no matter how harsh, or rude I was, it never deterred her from showing up every morning like nothing had happened. Eve walked into the room with a gentle smile on her face, her eyes stuck on Amani, I knew she wanted to hold her but she just couldn’t say it. “I brought some mint leaves, the scent is usually very soothing for babies,” Eve said in a low tone. I was getting tired of lashing out at anyone who dared approached us. It was easier to ignore until they got frustrated.
“death flashes through my mind.”Daisy’s POV“Hazel”Lorelei froze, her eyes wide in shock as she heard the name.“H.hazel?” She asks in a nervous tone. This was the first time I was seeing Lorelei look anything but comported.“Yes,” I answered, my reply sounding like a question.“She’s alive,” she muttered to herself, her fingers brushing through her hair in frantic movements.“Is she well?” She asked, looking excited at the thought of Hazel.I nodded my head to every question she asked. Each bringing more wide smiles to her face.“she is married and has a son,” I replied her last question.Lorelei looked like she would jump out of her skin at the mention of hazel with a mate and a child.“who is she to you anyway?” I finally asked.Lorelei smiled, the most genuine smile I had seen on her.“she’s my sister,” she whispered.I froze, “your sister?”I had a mental image of Hazel and looking at Lorelei, I tried to piece in their similarities.“yes,” she smiled.“now this just makes it mo
“such a ghostly scene.”Daisy’s POV“I’d like to see you try,”My words challenged Alec, and a deep growl rumbled through his chest.Alec rushed towards me, his teeth out, ready to mark me.A loud clash sounded behind him, and Alec dropped to the ground, surprise written on his face at the hole in his thigh.My eyes found Eve, tears steaming down her eyes with a gun in hand.Eve had shot him.“Go!” She shrieked, rushing to Alec’s side, trying to stop the bleeding.Alec looked shocked, his eyes fixed on Eve’s tear stained face.“come with us,” I whispered, picking Amani up from the cot.Eve shook her head, “no, my place is here, with him,” she cried.“Hades is here,” she muttered.Hades had come.My heart thundered in my chest, tears filled my eyes, he had come for me.“Eve please, let’s go,” I begged, trying to persuade her.Eve cried more, hugging Alec who had shut his eyes.Whatever she must have shot him with was strong, it had completely disabled him.“Go, this is my home, go to y
“loving you to my dying breath.”Hades’ POV“He has killed his right hand man,”I blinked, trying to fight back the surprise.“Kevin?” I asked in a stunned voice.Lucien nodded his head, “the execution had happened some time this week,” he said.“Alright then, this makes it easier,” I muttered, pointing to the map on the table.“I am going to split you guys in groups,” I said.“Our main priority is Daisy and Blair, you find them and take them immediately to safety” I ordered.“The remaining lots, you are to guard this tent like your life depended on it,” I commanded.I couldn’t have Priya and Brittany sneaking out and trying to play hero.Lucien and I needed to fight with clear minds and no worries about the girls who had twisted our arms to join the mission.I walked out of the tent, my eyes fixed on the moon that would soon be hidden by daylight.“What’s bothering you brother?” Lucien asked.It was a nagging feeling I couldn’t shake off, like something was bound to happen and I woul
“don’t go playing hero.” Author’s POV “Daisy no!” Priya yelled. Daisy had waited for the right opportunity to present itself before she ran out of the tent. Priya had been distracted with Brittany and Amani, and they guards weren’t exactly expecting her to run out. “Get out of my way,” Priya growled in her most intimidating voice. The guard had blocked the path with his muscled body before Priya could make it out of the tent. “Miss please stay inside,” the guard said in a gruff voice. It would be easy to find one lady who doesn’t know he dangers of running into a battle field. But finding two hysterical ladies, that was a challenge he wasn’t ready to face. “my men will bring Miss Daisy back to the tent safely, I only need you to sit tight,” he said in a monotone. Brittany stood by the corner trying to calm a fussing Amani, who hadn’t stopped crying immediately daisy ran out. It was like she could feel something but was having a hard time explaining it. “Priya pl
“loving to the moon and back.”Author’s POV“I will always love you,”The farewell echoed in Hades ears.Alec’s mocking laughter echoed behind Hades.“Shouldn’t you be running after her?” He jeered.A loud growl rumbled from Hades’ chest, the rage in his eyes could burn a thousand men to their knees.Alec smirked, it was obvious that Hades was not aware of the new bullet he had procured. It was only a pity that Daisy had decided to play hero saving Hades from his untimely demise.Alec had been meticulous in his purchase, such a powerful weapon would have caused havoc in the hands of the enemy, and as a move to protect himself, Alec had tested the first bullet on the manufacturer.“Enough talking,” Hades growled in a dark voice.“this ends now,” Hades hissed in a gravely calm tone.“I only care about your heart and your delicious mate,” Alec teased further, laughing manically as he talked.“but don’t worry, you will meet her in the afternoon life,” Alec sneered, his voice dripping with
“winning the war, losing the love.”Author’s POVThe rogues knelt down, dropping their weapons by their side. Immediately they noticed the dead Alec and his heart in Hades’ hand.Hades’ men chanted, their howled reverberating through the ground.“Cuff them,” Hades said in a dark voice.Victory was theirs.The tyranny era of Alec and his men was finally put to an end.Alec’s men had remorseful looks on their faces, the weight of their crimes was finally hanging on their shoulder.The invincible strength they thought they had was no more.“Tristan, send men into the camp, find hostages,” Hades commanded.Tristan nodded his head, taking his squad with him back to the camp.They world save the ones to be saved and try to reinstate them back to their packs.Every prisoner Alec had caught would be freed.The warrior chief walked closer to Hades, they had won the war, but he could the battle raging in Hades eyes.“I’ll check on the men we’ve lost, you will have a detailed report on your tabl
“hanging on, holding fate,”Author’s POVIt’s been two days since their return from the battle.Two days since the kingdom had seen their king.The kingdom was in a melancholy mood. The news of Daisy’s act of selflessness echoed around the kingdom.The sacrifice couldn’t be denied, Daisy had saved the kingdom.They weren’t the kindest to her but she had risen above that and still stood firm for them.She had the grace of a Luna, selfless and eternally loving.It was only sad they finally got to know this after her sacrifice.Hades had ensured restricted access to the wing they had kept Daisy in. But that didn’t stop the pack members from lining the hallway with flowers and hand written notes.Priya walked into the room, her eyes fixed on Hades who had made camp in the room, since their arrival.“hey,” she muttered softly, walking into the room.Hades barely acknowledged her presence his eyes fixed on the sleeping Daisy.“has there been any change?” Priya whispered.They hand unanimous
“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
