“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
“Running in circles, trapped on dooms lane.”Daisy’s POV“Wake up!”My body shot forward in panic. There was a presence in my room, the hairs that stood on my neck served as warning signal to the danger that lurked.Eyes followed me as I turned. I could feel his rotten breath on my skin, his stares felt like worms crawling on my skin.“I know you are awake,” he sneered, the voice was that of the guard who hadn’t stopped staring.I jolted up from the floor trying to put as much needed distance between us.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wouldn’t do that,” he hissed in my ear.He smirked, mistaking my shiver of disgust to that of pleasure.“Please,” I cried, trying to push his hands off my body.“I have been watching you for a while,” he sneered in my ear, ripping the buttons off my shirt.“don’t,” I cried, feeling as his rough hands traced down the slope of my breast.My hands pushed forward, trying to fight his hands off. “don’t do this,” I begged, my heart hammering in my chest.“Don’t worry, you
“There’s nothing to give than the hole in my chest.”Daisy’s POVI couldn’t escape, no matter how fast I ran, the chains was tug and I would be back in his arms.“You can’t run!!” he would always say like we were stuck in a loop.“Daisy, wake up, you are dreaming,” priya’s frantic voice shouted.My eyes shot open, “get off,” I screamed, pushing her hands away from my body.The nurse ran in, “Daisy, Daisy, calm down, you are safe now,”“Get away from me,” I thrashed, my eyes wild, as I noticed him standing in front of me.“some one hold her down, she’s going to hurt herself more,” a voice shouted in panic.I ripped the rope that had been connected to my wrist, “daisy,” Priya screamed.“stay away from me,” I screamed at him, running out of the room he thought he could trap me in.The background noises were loud, people shrieked in surprise as they saw me ran out.“Hades, I need to find him,” I muttered to myself.He was the only one who would save me from him, my feet hurt from the pres
“I remember the moments, tainted with pain.”Daisy’s POV“Isn’t it exciting, we get to be floor mates,” Priya squealed, clapping her hands excitedly.I managed to plaster a smile on my face, “yeah,”“I am going to pretend that you are jumping and screaming right now,” Priya said, trying to get me to laugh.It had become a norm, Priya trying everything to lighten the mood, while I was like a dead hallow, where jokes died.Hades had been avoiding me, since the last time he had picked me off the garden floor.“He is worried about you, he just doesn’t know how to show it,” Priya muttered, whispering the last part.“okay,” I whispered, staring longingly at his door.Even though my room was only a few doors away from his, I knew the distance between us was kingdoms apart.“Come on, you need to see all that I have prepared,” Priya said, pushing the door open.I stifled a gasps, “Priya!” I shrieked, surprised at the thought she had put into it. A large smile breaking through the numbness.“Th
“In this oasis of emotions, I found redemption.”Daisy’s POV“You shouldn’t be here,”Lucien stood, his large frame blocking the entrance.“You know better,” he growled at Priya, who cowered under his hard glare.A loud howl pierced through the evening air. The sound echoed through the eerily building, rising and falling like a broken chilling cry.It was raw, primal cry of a tortured soul, the haunting sound sent shivers down my spine, and my body stilled in fear.Lucien’s eyes darted towards me, and I could see a trace of panic dancing in his orbs.“you shouldn’t have brought her,” he said in a low tone.I finally found my strength, and stepped up, shielding Priya from her brother’s angry stare.“she is here because of me,” I said.“I want to be here,” I whispered.Lucien ran his hand through his hair, blowing out a quick breath, his eyes flickered to the dimly lit room that produced the screams.“you don’t get it, you can’t be here right now,” Lucien said.“Hades,” I whispered his
