“Crashing down life’s lonesome highway, I secretly hope I don’t fall apart.”Daisy’s POVI tried to keep a positive demeanor after the devastating day I had. Priya and I had spent the night gossiping about everything we could that was under the sun.Her stories had distracted my mind, and her contagious laugh had brought light to my eyes once again.“Daisy,” Miss Amy called, snapping my attention back to reality.My cheeks flushed in embarrassment as I noticed their gazes were fixed in me. “Sorry,” I whispered, clearing my throat and sat up straighter.Miss Amy nodded, “as I was saying, Daisy and Jade you will helping during the picnic,”My brows furrowed, I wanted to ask what picnic, the confused look on my face was almost comical, I had spent an entire hour lost in my head.In my peripheral vision, I noticed Jade walking out of the common room, and I rushed up beside her, “get it together,” I whispered to myself.The steps were pretty easy to follow, the other maids had everything s

“It was all of it, happy, free, confused and lonely but all in the best way.”Daisy’s POV“No, I want her,”Hades clenched his jaw, his lips pressed in a thin line, “Jade would be a better tour guide, she knows the grounds better,” he gritted out.I wanted to beg the vampire prince to accept Jade as his guide, but I knew it would be stupid to talk while Hades was talking.“But I rather much prefer the red head, she is the best fit for my taste,” Alaric replied smugly.Hades nose twitched, and his eyes hardened as he heard Alaric’s comments.Alaric’s parents watched with keen interest as the drama unfolded, “let them go Hades, Alaric would do the girl no harm,” Damien intervened, calming the tension in the room.My eyes found Priya who looked proud as she noticed the vampire prince approach me.“I believe you owe me a tour,” Alaric said, his cold hands grabbing my sweaty warm ones.Priya gave me a thumbs up with a proud smile on her face, Alaric softly tugged in my arm pulling me slow

“Like a fever, I am burning alive.”Daisy’s POVWere vampires this persuasive or it was just an Alaric thing?Alaric and I had gone into a water splashing contest, and I can confidently say I was happily losing.“Enough,” I screamed, wiping the water from my face.“Say it,” Alaric taunted.I blew air out of my lips, my eyes narrowed as I stared at him, my green eyes were turned slightly red from the number of assault it had endured from Alaric’s attacks.“You win,” I gritted out.Alaric yelled, “yes” throwing a fist in the air.“I was almost going to cry uncle,” he said dramatically placing his hand on his chest.I wouldn’t admit this to his face but Alaric’s presence was the escape I never knew I needed.His countenance was far different from the person I had meet earlier in the courtyard.A gush of wind blew, and I blinked, surprise to see Alaric stand right in front of me.His eyes glowing with a mischievous glint, “do you trust me?” he whispered.“yes,” I whispered out, my heart b

“They say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”Daisy’s POVIt wasn’t the stares that had me worried, it was the snickers and pointing.They pointed at me like I was in a circus, for they viewing pleasure.“Is it me or are they really staring at us,” I whispered to Priya.“They are definitely staring,” Priya hummed, looking around.“Daisy, Astrid is requesting your presence,” a maid said, walking away before I could question her.“What does she want?” I murmured, feeling anxious.Priya shrugged, “beats me, alright I have to run but I will find you later,” she yelled.I made my way to the castle, my strides heavy and slow, the weight of their stares felt like a thousand needles prick on my skin.My footsteps echoed through the eerily quiet hallway, each step I took felt heavier than the last, and the thought of our last encounter came flashing back.The foreboding door stood before me, like a barricade to an impending doom. And I took in a deep breath, “it’s going to be alright,” I mutt

“Life moves fast, and good things have an expiration date,”Daisy’s POVI was slipping in and out of consciousness, the only constant thing around me was the sound of a beating heart.“Hold on, you are safe,” a deep voice muttered, but the voice was lighter than Hades.The smell of disinfectants and other cleaning agents filled the air, and I groaned as the white light burned my eyes.“what happened?” The nurse asked as he placed me on the bed.“I found her unconscious in the forest,” he replied, the worry in his voice filled my heart with warmth.The nurse had gotten to work instantly cleaning the wounds, while making small talk with the guy, I was yet to know his name.“alright, she looks right about fit but she is going to have to stay the night for further examination,” the nurse said.I shook my head in fear, my fingers gripping my savior’s hands, “don’t let me stay here,” I whispered. Scared of Astrid returning to finish what she had started.“Thanks but we are going to leave,”

The crisp cool air of the morning crept under the blanket, sending cold tingles down my spine.I tried to focus my eyes on the figure moving around in the shadows.“Damn it,” Xavier cursed as he stomped his foot on the stool, I bit back a laugh, watching him go about his morning routine.“You know, as a polite house guest, you should say sorry,” he muttered, his voice warm with humor.I giggled, “how did you know I was awake?”“Your breathing pattern had changed” he replied, searching through the cupboard.“How early is it?” I asked, looking at the dark skies.“Very early, but I need to be there early, one of the horses might go into labour today,” he replied thoughtfully.I could see how dedicated he was to his job, the glint in his eyes when ever he talked about the horses.I nodded, slowly rising from the bed, my feet hurting from the pressure.“What are you doing?” he asked, watching me arrange the bed.“Getting out of your lair?” I replied the obvious question.“I see that but wh

“I don’t ask for much, but that you would see me, for me, don’t pretend.”Daisy’s POVI did the one thing I knew was best, avoiding everything that sounded like Jade, Lyra or Astrid.I know, such a coward’s move, but I called it survival instincts, and I wasn’t going to ever be ashamed of it.When I heard the news of Jade’s punishment, I was a little apprehensive, Priya and Lucien thought it was the right action to take but I knew it was bad to poke a devil.“How are you feeling now?” Miss Amy asked.Lucien had gone as far as ensuring I wasn’t given chores to do for a period of time.I spent most of my days, sleeping and staring longingly at the garden. I wanted to go in there and feel the soil in my finger tips. But I knew it was a bad idea, no matter how tempting it might sound.“I’m better now Miss Amy, and I would love to resume work,” I replied, eager to be on my feet again.Miss Amy smiled, her eyes crinkling in delight at the news “That’s good to hear,”“the Alpha has sanctione

“Lost in your shades of greige.”Daisy’s POV“It’s relaxing here,” I whispered, the only reply I could think of at the moment.Hades nodded, moving closer to the water, and my hands instinctively covered my chest, silently praying he couldn’t see from where he stood.Hades quirked his brows at my action, and I felt conscious of my self under his scrutinizing gaze.“Or does it remind you of something,” he simply said, the slight accusation in his tone, made it obvious that he was still salty about my interaction with Alaric.The relaxing atmosphere had become thick with tension, “I have always found myself attracted to nature,” I mumbled, my voice barely a whisper.“Something happened?” Hades said, pointing to the bruise on my shoulder that was slowly healing.“I knocked myself against the door,” my voice cracked, and I quickly cleared my throat.“the door must have really done a number on you,” he said pointing to the other scars littered on my body.I hated how uneven the playing fie
