“we stay better off without them.”Daisy’s POVIt’s been a couple of days since the hanging. Hades and Lucien have been working tirelessly to ensure that all impunities have been taken off.Everyone that had been involved with Alec and Alpha Smith were facing trials, it would have been bad on the system if Hades had acknowledged one and not all, that would have kept the cohorts strong, enabling them to keep the frame up and in turn intimidate the weak.“Luna” a soft voice called.The name was still taking a while to settle, and I had gotten comfortable with seeing people look at me with a scoff and now, the admiration in their eyes still caught me off guard.“hi” I said to the little boy that stood in front of me, his wide grin showed his missing front tooth.“C..can Amani join us?” he stuttered, his fingers fumbling as he spoke.I could imagine how big of a courage it took for him to walk up to us and I was never going to turn him down.“I promise I’ll watch out for her like I do my
“Something about it still felt strange.”Author’s POV“You can never refuse what you been yearning for,” Priya muttered, her heart hammering in her chest as she recalled the memories that she had kept locked up for years.“I had withdrawn from my family, so it wasn’t like they could exactly know my plight,” she continued.Daisy and Brittany sat with bated breaths, the haunted look in Priya’s eyes broke them.“I met Maddox at a party, I wasn’t exactly sure of who had thrown the party but I was there,” Priya whispered.Priya had closed her eyes, her mind taking her back to the night she wished had never occurred.The loud music echoed through her ears as she forced her way through the throngs of crowd that had gathered. No one really paid Priya any mind as each person was either too focused on sucking the face off their partner or face down in drugs.Priya wandered through the crowd until she found a corner that wasn’t exactly occupied by libidinous teenagers.Priya felt awkward standin
“trying to steady myself, but it felt like I was some body else.”Author’s POVNothing can save a soul that won’t acknowledge they have been lost.Maddox had convinced Priya to run away from home, it meant no one would question the bite marks and the paleness.Priya had stayed in Maddox’s nest, enjoying the thrill and shrill of being seen.A tear fell from Priya’s eyes, she raised her hand wiping off the tears, shaking her head to clear the fog she was in.Brittany and Daisy had tears flowing down their cheeks, they couldn’t believe she had gone through it all.“I guess my wolf knew I was dying, and had called out to Lucien,” Priya whispered.“Lucien and Hades had some how found out the hide out I was locked in,” Priya muttered.“Finding me battered, and bruised wasn’t the disturbing part, it was the fact that I was screaming for Maddox to save me,” Priya cried.“I had spent months hating Lucien and Hades. I couldn’t be trusted to stay alone, because every hour I was always trying to
“listening, living, trying”Hades’ POVI was thankful for the initiative my father had had, placing the office structure in the center of the kingdom.It was easier to watch Daisy and Amani from here.“Still perving on your girl?” Lucien said, immediately he walked into the office.I rolled my eyes at him, my gaze focused on Daisy as she smiled at the little boy.Lucien walked up beside me, “oh, I see someone is trying to take your woman from you,” he teased.A low growl rumbled from my chest, shocking Lucien who wouldn’t stop laughing“Damn! Hades, you are scared of a little boy?” Lucien bellowed slapping his knees.I ignored it laughter, walking towards the desk, “what do you need Lucien?” I muttered, looking unimpressed at his teasing. Lucien was unbothered by my aloofness, he just kept on laughing like he had cracked the funniest joke.“Don’t be like that? I’m sure Daisy will tell the young boy she’s spoke for,” he muttered.Lucien finally sobered up, “Luke had sent in the report,
“I can get drowned in your lust, your constant want for me.”Daisy’s POVHades tried arguing his way out of having dinner with the rest but at the end, he had no other choice than to agree.Hades sat with a permeant scowl on his face, ignoring Lucien and Alaric’s taunting.Brittany and I watched Alaric’s interactions with Priya, and it warmed my heart to see the way he was attentive with her.“Would you like to join me and my family on our trip?” Alaric asked Priya.Priya’s smile brightened, Alaric was subtly trying to introduce Priya as his girlfriend to his parents.“And where will you be going?” Lucien asked like an overbearing parent that he was.“We have a vacation home sort of in the north and I know Priya would love it there,” Alaric replied, looking unbothered by Lucien’s questioning.Priya rolled her eyes at her brother, “ignore him,” she whispered to Alaric.“yes, I will love to,” she replied happily.Hades laughed, enjoying the frustrated look on Lucien’s face.“hey, I wan
“like flowers we had grown prettier.”Daisy’s POV“This isn’t the way to our room,” I giggled, slapping Hades’ back as we moved down the hallway.Somewhere along the lines of rushing out of the restaurant and get to my room, Hades had decided that I wasn’t walking fast enough and he swung me over his shoulders.As a reply, Hades slapped my butt, kneading it as a soothing remedy.My eyes took in the familiar hallway, and my heart dropped, Hades was taking us towards his room.We had gotten so comfortable in my room that I had barely made a fuss about going to his.And Hades had never asked me to move to his room and I also never asked him.“Hades” I called out slowly, the humor in my eyes replaced with curiosity.“Hmmm” he hummed, his hand still placed on my butt.“What are we doing here?” I whispered, my voice quivering with nerves.I wasn’t going to lie, but I had avoided this section of the house because it reminded me of the times he had spent with Astrid.“it’s a surprise,” he rep
“have you ever tried this one,”Daisy POV“There’s one more thing I would like to show you,” Hades said, wrapping his fingers around mine.The nervous look on his face had returned, and I wondered what he was up to again.Hades had given me enough, the house, a place for us to feel like a family rather than just roommates was enough.“I know how flowers are like your favorite things in the world, and I want you to have that every time, you can just have a sense of it closer to you,” Hades rambled, slowly placing me on his laps.“Hades,” I whispered, placing my hands on his cheeks, feeling the warmness of his skin.“you have shown me much more kindness than I ever deserve,” I whispered.“there’s nothing that you would give me that I would never love,” I whispered.Hades eyes softened, it was like my words were the confirmation he needed.“Okay, let’s go,” he said softly.I smiled enjoying he way Hades arm felt around my body as he led me slowly to the little green house he had made on
“each stare still fills me with butterflies.” Daisy’s POV The words kept ringing in my head. I wasn’t exactly sure I had heard him right but I was certain the words weren’t from my lips. It has been a few days since we had moved into the house and I must say, Hades was taking the christening of the house to heart. The night always seems to end the same way, a blinding orgasm and the softest whisper of I love you. I felt nervous about asking him, I mean, I might just be imagining it, projecting things I wanted. “So we should be living for the shadow moon pack soon,” Hades muttered, placing a gentle kiss on my lips as he rose from the bed.. I looked at him with a lost look on my face, I was still trying to slowly come out of the subspace Hades had walked me into. Lately our sex life has been stronger, like I couldn’t stand a second of being away from him. I rushed into the bathroom, pressing my body against Hades as he leaned against the counter washing his face. “Hey
