“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

“There’s no saving me now, I had sealed my fate with blood.”Daisy’s POVIt has been two weeks of constantly being at Hades beck and call. The task were the most outlandish things.I had finished serving him lunch, and the weather looked perfect to take up Xavier’s offer.Hades had ignored my presence, his eyes fixed on the papers that were littered on his table.I walked out of the office slowly, hoping to not attract his attention. I threw my fist in the air and did a two step dance in jubilation, I was free.The sun kissed my skin as I ran, I could feel their curious stares watching me laugh like a maniac.By the time I reached the stables I was a mess, panting and gasping for breath. Xavier leaned on the hay watching me with amusement in his eyes.“I’ve never seen a woman run out of breath in my sight” he mumbled.“I must say Daisy, you really know how to flatter a man,” he continued.My laughter sounded like a bunch of pigs squealing, “I always lose my breath whenever I am around

“Don’t aim for my heart, the feeling is overwhelming.”Daisy’s POV“Leave us, Astrid,” Hades repeated.Astrid’s face was in shock, her mouth wide open as she finally understood Hades’ command.“Babe,” she spluttered.“Now!” He shouted, hitting the table in anger.I jumped slightly, startled from the anger in his eyes as he stared at Astrid, waiting on her to argue.Astrid scoffed, “fine,” she gritted out, her eyes zeroing in on me as she moved closer towards me.Her shoulders shoved mine, and I stumbled into the wall, knocking my head against the lamp holder on the wall.“Slut,” she hissed, closing the door behind her in a loud bang.My hand pressed the part of my head I had hit on the wall, I could feel a slight bump forming on the spot.“why do you reek of another man?” Hades asked, barely looking at the pained look on my face.“where you sleeping around?” he growled, looking at me with accusation in his eyes.“Isn’t that a bit pretentious of you?” I blurted out, my nose flared in a
