“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
“Stay away from things that aren’t yours.”Daisy’s POVLoud beeping sound blared in my ears, I groaned, my body throbbing in pain. I slowly opened my eyes, the ultra bright lights caused me to hiss.“What’s going on?” I whispered, my voice hoarse, and I could I feel a slight sting in my throat.I squinted my eyes, trying to adjust the brightness in the room, my gaze met priya’s unamused face as she watched me.The world around me began to take shape, I was in the clinic, the beeping sound finally made sense.“how long?” Priya asked, looking exhausted.My heart skipped, and I tried to rake my brain hoping to figure how what had happened, but I came back blank.“what?” I asked, my mind still foggy.“how long have you been keeping the pain a secret?” She gritted out, her nose flared in anger.Brittany walked in, the look on her face matching priya’s unamused face. The memories surged through my mind, my eyes widening in realization.Brittany and Priya had decided to spend the night in my
“clandestine meetings and longing stares, all born from a single glance.”Daisy’s POVMy body is a betrayer. That’s a summary of everything that had happened since Hades came to the hospital.“She’s coming with me,” Hades growled, lifting me gently from the bed. I hid my head in his hard chest trying to hide from the stares and whispers.Brittany tried to hide her smile, “okay, just remember, constant body contact,” she said, walking off to her other patient.It has been two days since the clinic incident, and somehow Hades and I have been around each other like two peas in a pod.Hades had been like a hovering mother, leaving me confined under his arms. Lucien usually came in to give him his daily work update, while I lay cuddled in his chest.I had tried to put a little bit of distance between us, the thought had been a catalyst, Hades had found me lying on the cold hard bathroom floor, with a new bruise forming on my thighs.It was like my body was fighting against my mind, and I c
“Secrets locked away in hollowed out lockets, left in the dark.”Daisy’s POVI should be feeling guilty, but the emotion only feels strange to me. I bit down on the towel, trying to muffled my scream as I slammed my wrist against the bathroom door.I was slowly losing the one thing that kept Hades close to me for these past days. And in my panicked moment of desperation a twisted thought formed in my head.My eyes watered as I stared at my throbbing wrist, a needed price for a greater good.“Daisy,” Hades panicked voice filled the room, and I quickly threw the towel away from me before the door burst open.Hades eyes took in my form, “you should have woken me up,” he said in a low voice, his fingers gently rubbing my throbbing wrist.“you haven’t had rest in such a long time and I didn’t want to look clingy,” I cried, finally letting out the pain I was feeling on my wrist.“you aren’t clingy, we both know your body needs this,” Hades said in a low tone, steering us towards the bed.Ha
“It’s all messed up, the world finally crumbling.”Daisy’s POV“Hades!!!”My feet hurting from how fast I was running. I could hear Brittany and Priya chasing after me, but all I could think about was finding Hades.“Hades please!!!” I screamed, my voice cracking, my chest felt like it was stabbed with a silver axe repeatedly.Hades paused his steps, “how dare you?” He growled.I shivered in fear at the intensity of his glare. Through my blurry eyes I couldn’t find the trace of the man who had spent nights in my room talking and laughing at every silly thing possible.“You broke into her closet and picked a dress, how desperate could you be Daisy?” he shouted.I shook my head, the words trapped in my throat, the only sound that could be heard was my sobbing, as I stood before Hades.My hands stretched out, trying to hold onto him, Hades took a step back, a look of disgust flashed across his face.My knees buckled and I dropped to the ground, the hard granite floor digging into my kne
“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
“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
“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
“the skies smiled blue, the days felt yellow, this is happiness.”Daisy’s POVI died of embarrassment a thousand times over, every time I recalled Lucien’s teasing tone in Hades’ office.Hades wasn’t a good help either, he had laughed all through it as I crawled out from underneath the table.I couldn’t help but wonder if the rest of the people had heard or it was only Lucien that hard figured it out.“I would have paid to see that” Priya laughed, slapping her knees as she did.I decided to tell them about the encounter before they heard it from Lucien.Brittany frowned slightly with a teasing look on her 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
“it’s cute how you want my touch for life.”Hades’ POVIt couldn’t get any better than this. 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
“my broken heart has finally mended, all I am now is complete.”Daisy’s POVI sat frozen in shock.“Congratulations Luna,” the doctor said.I blinked, trying to process the words he had just said.“Pregnant?” I whispered.The doctor nodded, looking excited at the news.“Would you like the Alpha king to be brought here?” He asked.The thought of Hades snapped me back to reality.“Hades” I whispered.We haven’t really talked about children, apart from teasing here and there, I wasn’t sure I knew his stance on children.Yes, he was awesome with Amani, but I couldn’t be sure if he wanted another baby soon.“Luna?” the doctor called, staring at me with a confused look in his eyes.“Yes, sorry, I will tell him myself,” I muttered.“thank you doctor,” I whispered, walking out of the room.Gina jumped up from her chair, excited to see me like I had been gone for eternity.“was it a bug?” she asks in a curious tone.“Yes,” I replied, leading her out of the clinic.Gina chirped away as we walk
“all at once, you are the one I have been hoping for.”Daisy’s POV“You should get yourself checked out, one thing I had swallowed a bug and I couldn’t stop puking for days,” Gina said.I have been vomiting at the slightest provocation lately, it was like my nose had become excessively sensitive to certain scents.I couldn’t bother Hades with it as he has been busy with the council of elders trying to find a suitable leader for the pack.“It’s not a bug Gina, it might just be something that I ate,” I sighed, leaning on the bathroom counter hoping to stop the nausea I was feeling.“you’ll never know,” Gina whisper yelled, frowning at me.“I think I would definitely know if I have swallowed a bug” I sighed, feeling slightly exhausted.Gina shook her head disapprovingly at my logic.“you would never know,” she whispered, helping cover my body with the bed sheet.Amani had thrown a tantrum when Hades was about leaving for the council meeting and the only resolution was for Hades to take h
“king of my body, my heart and my soul.”Daisy’s POVIt’s been a long year.I had barely noticed.“I Daisy Arkinos, daughter of Arkinos, Fae warrior, accept you Hades knight as my mate,” I whispered.There wasn’t any argument in it, I had loved Hades from the beginning and they was absolutely nothing in the world that would take that away.Hades released a long sigh like he was afraid of the response that would come from me.“I love you,” I cried, falling to my knees.Hades’ arms wrapped around me, a loud smile forming on his lips as he heard my words.“I love you” Hades muttered, kissing all over my face.I shrieked, laughing out loud as he licked the tip of my nose.“You should have told me, rather than let me rack my head thinking of possible answers,” I hissed, slapping his chest.Hades laughed, “I told you the answer every single night,” he muttered.I gasped, “there weren’t my imaginations,” I said softly.Hades chuckled enjoying the look of realization on my face.“I love you,”
“I know exactly where it leads but I watch us go round and round each time.”Daisy’s POVIt felt déjà vu.“I didn’t order this” I said softly to the bartender, who had dropped a tumbler of bourbon.“He did,” she replied putting to a direction behind me.I turned, my eyes widening as I noticed Hades sitting in the corner with a glass in hand.A smile formed on my lips, my face brightening up immediately I noticed him.“Thank you,” I whispered to the bartender, jumping down from my stool and rushing towards Hades.“Hades” I called out, wondering why he wasn’t looking up a me.Hades finally raised his head, his eyes gleaming with mischief.“Hi, I am Hades,” he said, stretching out his hand for a hand shake.“Daisy,” I replied softly, deciding to go along with his game.“What’s a beautiful flower, doing in a damned place like this?” he said with a teasing smile.My eyes met Hades’ gaze and it was like the same intensity of the first night we had met.“Searching for a flower,” I said, my v
