The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 18
“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

“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.

“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
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 198
“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
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 196
“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
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 193
“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,”
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 192
“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
