“I don’t ask for much, but that you would see me, for me, don’t pretend.”

Daisy’s POV

I 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,”

    “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

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

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

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.

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 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

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
