“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
