“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
“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
“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
“There is nothing more powerful than the love of a pack, but you turn that into anger and resentment? Nothing is more dangerous.”"No need crying about spilled milk," I muttered to myself. I should have expected this to happen."Killer," Lyra scoffed.Their laughter echoed through the hallway as the walked out of the kitchen. Lyra was just as vicious as Astrid; my sister. I mean it should be expected, birds of the same feather do really flock together.I scanned around the kitchen, my eyes glimmering with tears. I had just spent a sleepless night cleaning it."Daisy," Miss Ruth called, her eyes in a glare as she looked around the kitchen.Her disapproving stare was all I needed to know, "I can explain, miss Ruth," I said, my voice cracking in fear." Tell me what exactly? That you had failed to complete a simple task?" She bellowed, her eyes darkened, showing the presence of her wolf.I kept my head down in fear, I would only be making matters worse if I said it was all Lyra, the beta
“I pace like a wandering spirit, my house on fire. Invisible smoke choking the illusion out of me.”Astrid had always been a fan of strong scents. Her intoxicating scent of sensations fruits and spices weaved through the confines of the dungeon, announcing her presence."Bring her," her sharp tone cut through like a piercing knife on a cold winter night.My father was a brutal force, and quick to action, but Astrid prides herself in mental torture, a slow but grueling journey to break her subject.I was roughly dragged out of the confined space I had called mine. I hissed, my eyes squeezed shut as the sun's rays shone on my face."Astrid," I croaked, my voice hoarse from not speaking for a while.My eyes took in her pristinely tailored gown that accentuated her curves."You look horrible," she said, staring at her immaculately manicured nails that glittered under the sun's rays."I've got some good news," she said, smiling slyly at me." But that is going to have to wait. Hit the show
“Talking turns to screaming. I opened my big mouth and I've said too much. Oops.”I looked like a deer caught in headlight. My palms felt sweaty and my heart felt like an orchestra of drums.The Alpha King was nothing like the stories I have heard. His piercing blue-gray eyes looked like he was looking into my soul.But that wasn’t the most shocking revelation, “what are you doing here?” I spluttered.“having dinner with Astrid and her father,” he replied, his eyes racking through the wine displayed.“you are the Alpha King?” I asked, blinking in confusion.“But, you,” I stammered.“nice to meet you again Daisy,” he said, with a smirk on his face."There you are," Astrid voice called out from the stairway."I was looking for you, come on, dinner is about to start," Astrid said, pulling his attention away from me.For once I felt grateful for her interference, my heart raced in fear of my fate if it became known of my entanglement with Hades.I picked the first wine my hands could reac
“I wish I was something special. I don't belong here. I'm just a creep who lurks in the shadows.”My night had been haunted with a feverish montage of the feel of his touch, his lips and his gaze on my body.The bedspread twisted around my body as I tossed and turned, trying to escape the vivid images in my mind.The sun rose to find me staring out at the window. Shattering the illusions that had played in my mind like a loop.I had been through the path of heartbreak and heartache. They said strangers are the best listeners. Hades had been more than a listener, he was a giver who had taken every pain away and had replaced it with pleasure.My fingers glided through the palm his fingers had touched. His calloused hands held mine with so much gentleness and care.Tonight was going to be rough, I could feel it. I wished there was a way I could skip the festivities, but it was impossible to get away from it. The thought of Hades and Astrid together under the wolf moon was like a dagger t
“ I don't like your games, but yet again I stand at the line looking like a lost fool.”"What?" Astrid screamed, her nose flared in anger as she looked between Hades and I."I..I," I stuttered, my eyes widened in fear as I noticed the look of anger on my father's face."Alpha, father," I called, my eyes in a plea. The look of displeasure and anger mirrored the expression of every other pack member."What do you mean mate?" Astrid repeated, her pupils dilated as she marched over to me her hand curled into a fist.My head snapped back from the intensity of her punch. Blood gushed down my nostrils. "Astrid," I shrieked in shock, surprised at her actions."Slut," Astrid shouted."You did this," she hissed, her eyes narrowed." Astrid, please," I begged.My eyes moved to Hades who stood quietly on the platform watching as the scene unfolded before him."Hades," I called in a small voice, tears welling up in my eyes.I stared at him, silently pleading that he would put an end to the pain I
