“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
“pull me in closer, intertwine the strings of our heart.”Daisy’s POVI followed the trail created by the moon’s reflection on the ground, nothing felt right, all I wanted was to see Hades, but his want is to avoid me.I kept the eyes as I reminder that he was gone for good, it was a sick twisted psychology, but it was what made me sleep better at night.Tonight had been one of those sleepless nights, my mind in unrest as I walked down the path, the cold breeze brushing through my skin.Seated in the corner was Hades, his eyes stuck on the part of the garden I had started rebuilding.My steps faltered, the forlorn look on his face tugged my heart, and I found myself moving towards him without giving it a second thought.“He is not in a safe state,” Lucien’s words rang in my mind.The violence I saw that night hadn’t bothered me, for the strangest reason his daunting laughter had been wiped off my memory, and replaced with the image of his helpless body hanging.Hades turned his gaze t
“Dreams tell something, but wet dreams leave me panting.”Daisy’s POV“Would you stop wiggling,” Hades gruff voice sounded from behind me.I paused mid twist, “I’m trying to get comfortable,” I muttered, pushing my body deeper into his chest.Hades sighed, pulling me to his chest, “you are a terrible bed mate,” he said with a smile on his face.I smiled into his chest, closing my eyes as my favorite lullaby serenading me. Hades and I had gotten into an unspoken pattern, my body pressed up against his every night for a blissful slumber.My body hummed, relaxing as his fingers rubbed slowly on my back, calming my mind.I can’t remember what it felt like sleeping alone, Hades presence had taken away everything before him.My eyes drifted close, my mind free, the thought of Hades on my mind as I sank deeper into slumber.My brows furrowed in confusion, watching Hades smile, laughing at the joke I made.I looked at him, lost in his smoldering gaze, planting flowers together in the garden.
“My lust for you has consumed me like a burning fire.”Daisy’s POVThe loud knocking on the door startled me, “Daisy” Priya sounded impatient, her fist pounding on the door.I grunted, my eyes hurting as I took in my surrounding, I had some how crawled to the bathroom in my drowsy state and slept in the bathtub.“Daisy,” Priya shouted again, jiggling the door handle.My body groaned, I yawned, wrapping a towel around my wet body. My eyes fixed on the mirror, the image staring back wasn’t the girl I recognized.My blood shot eyes stared back at me, I blinked, quickly covering the mirror, I wasn’t ready to open my insecurities by staring at the mirror long enough.“I’m going break this door down,” Priya growled.“coming,” I shouted, rushing towards my door to save it from Priya.“Finally, I thought you had gotten lost on the way to open the door,” Priya groaned.I rolled my eyes at her sarcasm, “you shouldn’t be knocking on doors this early in the morning,” I shouted back, searching for
“you leave me out to dry, I don’t know why this caught me by surprise.”Daisy’s POVMy core throbbed, each step he took closer to me causing my body to burn up, and his eyes felt like the fuel heightening my need.Hades snatched me off the chair like I weighed nothing, throwing me over his shoulder.I was too far gone in his touch to notice the audience we had. Eyes followed us, surprise written on their faces as Hades led me out of the arena, with me dripping on his shoulder.Hades’ hand smacked my butt, the force causing me to whine. My body bounced up in the air as he dropped me on the bed.The journey from the arena to my room was foggy but my attention was on Hades, who looked like he was ready to eat me raw.My lips parted, a strangled cry slipped through them, I laid on the bed, writhing in need.“Hades,” I whispered my fingers pulling at my hard nipples through my dress. I moaned as I tugged, desperately seeking for his hands on me.Hades growled, his eyes had completely turne
“it comes and goes in waves, I can’t hold on.”Daisy’s POV“That’s impossible,” Hades muttered, his eyes intently watching me as I writhed in the bathtub.“She isn’t marked?” Priya whispered, rubbing her neck as she tried to grasp the information.“I have a theory,” doctor Brittany said.“You only go into heat after you have been marked, like your body calling to be fertilized but in this case I think her body is calling out to you to be marked,” she explained.“Hades,” I croaked, my lips dry from how hot my body was burning up.“She’s burning through the cold water,” Priya said, pulling the plug to drain out the water.I cried out in pain, my fingers frantically searching for a cold surface to rest on. Priya rushed back into the bathroom with a bucket ice in hand.“Lucien is bringing the rest,” she said, pouring the ice into the bathtub. My skin sizzled as the ice touched my skin, and I hummed lowly.Hades growled at the mention of Lucien, “I don’t think it’s a wise idea,” doctor Bri
“We’re the moments special or just reused?”Daisy’s POVIt was an open secret, I was seen unworthy by my mate, even while I was in heat.I could feel the pity in their eyes, suffocating me, and I tried to keep my head high, it was a faux, a game to not look as worthless as they thought I was.My feet faltered as I neared the clinic, it was almost the last day of my heat, and Brittany had suggested that I come in for some follow up checks.The sun’s rays felt soothing on my skin, it was almost an entire week since I had last stepped outside.Brittany and Priya became more than just friends during that time, they had become a support system, and for once I was grateful to the moon goddess.The nights weren’t as terrifying as I thought they would be, I would only wake at odd hours, screaming my lungs out before I passed out from exhaustion.“Seems like someone is enjoying the sun,” Brittany teased.I smiled, waving as I rushed up to her side, “I never knew I would miss the most mundane t
“Floating, worried that my soul is lost.”Daisy’s POV“The prodigal friend returns,” Xavier’s cheerful voice broke a smile on my face.After the incident at the hospital, I did the most cowardly thing ever, I hid away in my room.Priya had tried to get me out of bed every single time but the zeal to move had been lost.“Daisy, you really do know how to drive a man crazy,” Xavier shouted, jumping down from the rooftop.I laughed, running into his arms as he squeezed me in a tight hug. I winced in pain, feeling his hand brush against the bruise that had formed on my back.“Hi, Xavier,” I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady, feeling as my eyes watered from the pain.“Hi? That’s all I get after you ran off like the roof was on fire,” he blurted out.I will found it strange that Xavier barely knows about the things happening in the pack if it isn’t about horses.“I’m sorry, I had a lot going on,” I muttered.“Too much that you completely ghosted me?” he asked.I thought about the det
