“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
