The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 41
“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

“One bad seed kills the garden. They tried to warn me.”Daisy’s POV“How are you feeling today?”The question seems to be like it’s on auto repeat everyday on Brittany’s lips.“Like I made the worse decision ever,” I groaned, rubbing my hands over my face in frustration.“Do you think you might be up for us to step out a bit today?” Priya said in a soft voice.I shuddered at the thought, the last time I had stepped out, it felt like their eyes were shooting daggers at me, taunting and jeering as I moved.Priya had tried to force me to keep a hard front, “don’t let it get to you, they will move on immediately, when the next juicy story comes,” Priya had said.“Maybe later, I think I am going to sit this one out,” I whispered, pulling the blanket closer to my body.Priya had a sad look on her face, “Daisy,” she muttered.“Seriously, I just don’t feel up to it, I promise I am okay,” I mumbled.“It’s alright take your time,” Priya replied, taking off her sandals and settling back on the b

“You can swallow the pride, but the shame, that’s a bitter one to stomach.”Daisy’s POV“Shit!”Maybe I should have listened to the guard and returned to my room with my tail tucked between my legs, literally.“Great start,” Priya whispered behind me.My eyes took in the emotions around the room, ranging from amused, admiration, curiosity and finally anger.Without even meeting his gaze, I could already feel his anger.“Daisy!” Alaric shrieked, pulling me into a tight hug.“What’s going on?” he whispered in my ear, the curious look in his eyes trying to see through the frozen expression on my face.“She’s here to confront the big bad Alpha,” Priya replied in a low tone, letting Alaric in on our doomed plan.“Oh, good luck then,” Alaric mumbled as he pulled his body off mine, sending a quick thumps up my way, before he pulled Priya to the side, leaving me standing alone.“what’s the meaning of all this?” Hades growled, his eyes filled with anger.I swallowed hard, my throat tightened,
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 45
“Sometimes, silence is a map, guiding the restless minds.”Daisy’s POVPriya was right, the eyes and snickering had stopped, my existence was long forgotten.It was easier to navigate around the kingdom without feeling like I was trapped under a huge lens with people analyzing my every move.The lake had become my solace, the anchor grounding me through all these emotions.Brittany had been excited when I had mention I was going to pick up gardening again, but this time away from prying eyes.They had jumped up immediately at the offer and helped clear out a patch between the trees, just by the lake.“When the sun comes, your beauty would blind it,” I whispered to the black dahlia.A laugh bubbles out of me, sometimes it felt like the flowers could hear my words, and the thought had made me talk daily to them.Hazel had said she would be coming around to talk, I found myself happy to be around her and Alaric, they were different, a change I needed.My body hummed, it was like electric
The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 46
“Burning cities, teary eyes, trying to find my way through a world gone blind.”Daisy’s POVI didn’t understand why Astrid despised me. It was like her existence was solely to poison everything my soul longed for.Pictures of our encounter flooded my mind, the intensity of Hades glare still burning through my mind.“Okay, that’s it, I have had enough of walking on egg shells around you,” Priya shouted, barging into the room with a scowl on her face.“You have been moping around for an eternity now, eating less and just crying yourself to sleep, it’s unhealthy,” Priya shouted.I kept mute, if I ignored her long enough she would get fed up and leave, it has worked the past few days and I was sure it would again.“the selective muteness I can understand but the selective deafness, I will smack it right out of you,” she growled, her hands placed on her waist as she watched me with an unpleased look on her face.“what she’s trying to say with her so much colorful words is that there’s a fe

“I want to walk away, but I always end up running back to you.”Daisy’s POVI was free, floating in the moment, laughing.I had successfully persuaded Xavier to dance with me, the music vibrated through the air, its rhythm pulsing in synchrony with my beating heart.I moved my body to the beats of the music, feeling the air wave through my hair and for the first time in a very long time I felt happy, with a genuine smile plastered my face.I twirled in Xavier’s hands, laughing loudly as we danced around in wild abandon, Priya and Brittany had joins us, our fingers joined as we spun in circles.“Yes!!!” Priya made hooting sound, cheering me and Xavier on.The music had finally lost it’s fast tempo, slowly winding down to a more sensual and slow song.Priya and Brittany hugged each, with lazy smiles on their faces as they swayed gently in each other’s arms.Xavier’s hands touch my back, drawing my attention back to the present. “you are beautiful,” he muttered, gently pulling my body f

“Chasing shadows in the Starlight, would they lead me to you?”Daisy’s POV“I’m fine, I just needed a breather,” I said to them, but my words did nothing to quell their worries.“Seriously, I just wanted to catch my breath, who knew dancing with Xavier would literally take my breath away,” I tried to joke.Xavier chuckled, “you really do know how to keep a man on his toes,” he said.“Alright ladies, it’s been fun.” Xavier said hugging Priya and Brittany as he bade them goodnight.“Do come around the stables sometime yeah?” Xavier said, smiling lazily at me.“sure,” I whispered.I waved Xavier off and turned to find two faces with a sly grin on them.“you both look like you are about to have a stroke,” I teased, crossing my arms around my chest and watching them.“or maybe we are just feeling a whole lot of pressure from the sexual tension between you and Xavier,” Priya said.I frowned at her words, Xavier was only a friend who I was certain had no attraction towards me.“there’s nothi

“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.

“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
