“I want to snarl and show you how disturbed I have become.” Author’s POV The air crackled with tension. Everyone waited with bated breaths for Alpha Smith and his bride Lyra to arrive. The foreboding feeling loomed over Hades’ head. Even with all the structures set in place, he still felt like he was missing a detail. It might be a premonition or just suppressed fear, but Hades couldn’t stop the feeling that something wasn’t right. Hades wasn’t one to doubt himself, but in this moment, he was beginning to have second thoughts, of offering Alpha Smith a plea hearing was the right step to make. Hades wanted them to suffer, but dragging out their inevitable doom now felt like a crazy mistake he shouldn’t have made. “They are by the gate,” Lucien said. Daisy rose to her feet, her heart thundering loudly in her chest. The faux bravado was almost cracking, it took more than her self will to not run into their room and lock the doors. She wasn’t feeling so brave about seei
“Tantrums could be the only healing after hate.”Author’s POVAlpha Smith had a smirked on his face. Hades had accepted his plea deal.His plan had a slight hitch, the number of guards hovering made it obvious that this was going to be ten times harder than he had anticipated.“Look at her, smiling like she won the lottery” Lyra hissed, her eyes fixed in a heated glare as they watched Daisy from the carriage.“Astrid hasn’t been found” Kane muttered, confirming their thoughts.“She was always a weak bitch,” Lyra hissed.Lyra eyes hardened as she noticed the way the Alpha king was attentive to his mate.“why can’t you just stay dead” she hissed under her breath.“let them through,” Lyra heard Hades voice.The carriage door was pulled open. Alpha Smith walked out first, closely followed by her father Kane and lastly Lyra.There was an aura around Daisy that struck Lyra as odd. Daisy looked confident, her eyes were fixed on their faces, not like the Daisy she knew who would have kept her
“Spinning through the intricacy of lies and scheming,”Author’s POVAlpha Smith had tried to hide the shock, but he was certain he had seen it. Around her neck was the necklace he had gifted her mother and the ring he knew only belonged to the Fae.“Daisy, do you think she knows of her roots?” Alpha Smith said, with urgency in his tone.Kane frowned, the only people that were privy to such information were him and the Alpha, the third party who was her mother had unfortunately died, taking the information with her to the grave.“I don’t think so” Kane muttered, shaking his head in a dismissive manner.“She had the ring,” alpha Smith noted.Kane sighed, he could understand the alpha’s worries, but one thing was certain if she was aware if the atrocity they had committed, he was sure the Alpha king wouldn’t be this welcoming towards them.“It might have been just a coincidence,” Kane muttered.“if she knew of how much power she could wield, I doubt she would be putting the ring around
“finding pawns in every power game.”Author’s POVPriya crackled as Daisy described the moment Hades had asked them to bow to her.“Oh man! I would have paid to see that,” she muttered, wiping the tears slowly from her eyes.Hades’ eyes were focused on Daisy, even when he knew she was just happy chatting with her friends, he could still see subtle traces of unease in her eyes.Lucien walked in, a tiny frown on his face, “they requested for Elder Joe,” he hissed, his eyes hardened in anger.Daisy’s heart dropped, their request wasn’t odd, but if it was denied it could tank everything they had out in place.Worry swirled in her eyes as she turned her head to meet hades’ eyes.“Then let them see the man,” Hades said in a calm tone.“Hades,” Daisy called in a soft voice.Hades smiled calmly to his mate, “Elder Joe knows the words to say,” he replied.Daisy’s eye brows furrowed in confusion, she couldn’t understand why Hades was unbothered about the fact that they would be leaving the man
“it was all by design.”Daisy’s POVMy heart yearned to go to the garden, but with Alpha Smith and his goons around I couldn’t risk it.My fingers played gently with the ring hanging on my necklace.Lately it been feeling like it’s calling out to me, drawing me in.The ring hummed as I slowly pulled out off the chain, it shone brighter than the moonlight.It felt like a force was pushing me to wear the ring, and after a long moment of hesitation, I finally slipped the ring into my finger.My eyes widened as I felt heat surging through my body.It was like the ring was taking away everything while also giving me everything at the same time.My hand felt hot as the ring tightened around my finger.And in a blink of an eye, my vision turned black, I was covered in a familiar dark void.“Daisy,” a voice called, deeper than the usual voice I was accustomed to in this darkness.I walked slowly towards the direction of the voice, the familiarity of it sending warmth down my body.Just as I a
“it’s crazy, but it’s love.”Hades’ POV“thank you Alpha king for accepting to meet with us”I nodded my head watching Kane and his daughter bow at my presence. I could tell they had a lot of plays in their pocket and curiosity had gotten a hold of me and I had no other choice than to indulge.“speak” I said in a gruff voice.Lyra smirked, and I couldn’t ignore the extra sway she put in her steps, specifically on her hips while approaching my throne. My mind wandered back to daisy at the welcome party how she had made Ida run for the hills.I would admit, a sick part of me wanted to see daisy treat Lyra like that, and that thought alone brought a tiny smile to my face.Lyra’s smile broadened, she had somehow mistaken my smiles for a welcomed approach.“Alpha king” Lyra said in a sultry voice, the smile on her face was so wide it could probably eat up the sun.“I fear my life is in danger,” she cried.“who is threatening your life?” I asked, my eyebrows quirked as I listened to her wor
“I placed a chain of counter reactions.”Author’s POVThe tension in the dining room was palpable.Daisy could feel the curious eyes of Alpha Smith on her and Amani.“Permit me Alpha king, but we weren’t aware of you child,” alpha Smith said in a calm voice.Hades smiled, he knew the man was fishing for information, and anything he could possibly hold onto.“the child is mine,” Lucien said.“Daisy and I only enjoy practicing,” Hades muttered.The way his eyes were fixed on Daisy like she hung the moon, caused Lyra to bend the spoon she had been holding in anger, her face twisted in a deep scowl.Lucien smirked, enjoying the look of annoyance in Lyra’s eyes. It was funny how in just a day she had some how gotten it twisted up in her mind that she had a claim on Hades.“that’s beautiful,” alpha Smith muttered, smiling sweetly at Daisy.Daisy forced back a tiny smile, she hated the way he was staring at Amani like he was trying to find a place to place her in what ever sick game he had p
“I only plan to claim you as mine.”Author’s POVLyra sneaked past the guards, keeping herself in the shadows between the pillars as she moved.She had given Alpha Smith enough glass of fireball to knock him out for hours.Lyra knew she had limited time. The mission was simple, that is if she still had the schedule right.Lyra’s heart pounding loudly in her chest, she was here, with no hitch.Lyra knocked, adjusted her attire one more time as she waited for a response.“Come in” Hades voice commanded.Lyra smirked, pushing the door slowly as she walked deeper into the room.Hades barely raised his head, he was expecting the made to bring his food up after he had been so pissed to attend dinner.The pungent smell of over layered floral scent filled the air, causing his to snap his head back who it was that was trying to kill him with over indulging in scents.“Lyra?” he called her, surprise evident in his eyes.“What are you doing here? Hades asked, his voice, slicing through her skin
“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
