“spin me in sunlight, string me along.”Daisy’s POV“Someone looks happy” Priya commented, as she noticed me walk into the diner.“Hi,” I greeted, kissing her on the cheek.“Hello to you, my sunshine friend,” she laughed, kissing my cheek.“Where’s Brittany?” I asked, looking around the diner.“She’s going to be running late, but not to worry, I am here to take perfect care of you and for your entertainment,” Priya said bowing slightly.I laughed at her antics, “you are weird,” I muttered.“And you are my friend, pea in a pod,” she retorted.“Sorry, I am late,” Brittany groaned, snatching the cup of coffee out of my hand.“Today has been a day and it’s not even mid day yet,” she hissed.“Oh sorry, here,” Brittany said handing over the empty cup to me.“Do you want my food too?” I teased.Priya laughed, “you two always have the craziest interactions and I live for it,” she said.Brittany squinted her eyes, “what did you do?” she asked.“do what?” I asked.“You are glowing, and not a no
“we could lose our minds in the city of roses.”Daisy’s POVI understand why Alaric is just a flamboyant soul.“Wow, just take a long at that,” Priya muttered, her eyes wide in surprise.We had made it to Alaric’s clan, much to Astrid’s dismay. She had tried to persuade Hades from permitting me to join the royal entourage.“Daisy,” Hazel called, walking towards me in her royal attire.Hazel had skipped the royal protocol of greeting the king and his lady. She had only acknowledged Hades before marching over to my side and pulling me into a much needed hug.It was hard to all Ignore how annoyed Astrid was, no one had really paid her any mind.“come on ladies, we should have a few things to entertain ourselves with before Alaric becomes a tyrant.” Hazel said.“Astrid, I am sure you must be tired after such a long journey, the maids are available to show you and your ladies to your quarters,” Hazel said to Astrid.Astrid nodded timidly, an action I was almost certain I had imagined. Astr
“The lines are blurred; you are my perfection, my only direction.”Daisy’s POVThe scowl on my face was permanently plastered as Priya and Brittany recounted in detail what had happened in my room.“Damn, there’s nothing I love more than a naked party, and my three best girls naked would have been a dream come true,” Alaric whistled.“In your dreams,” I hissed at him, quickening my steps.Alaric smirked, “I can already imagine how you’d feel under me,” he taunted.I froze in my steps, my fist clenched by my side as I turned to scream his head off, but the smug look on his face had me wondering if the message was for me.Hades growled, his eyes flickering as he stalked towards Alaric with a murderous glare in his eyes.“do you still think about our kiss, I can’t seem to forget it,” Alaric smirked.Hades fist shot out, ready to punch Alaric in the face.“hades” Lucien warned, placing his hand on Hades’ shoulder.Brittany and Priya’s expression mirrored mine, my eyes were wide in fear, p
“my parting gift is the headache that just won’t go.”Daisy’s POV“If you could please, keep your voices down,” I groaned.Their insistent bickering sounded like my room was filled with chirping crickets. I used my hand to press down on my head, hoping to soothe the pain.I hissed, closing my eyes again as the brightness in the room almost blinded my eyes.“Why is it so bright?” I moaned, placing a pillow over my head.“Because it’s past midday,” Brittany said, pushing the pillow off of my face.I slowly opened my eyes, pausing at each step for my eyes to adjust to the brightness.“What happened last night?” I asked, frowning at the bitter taste in my mouth.Priya grinned, “what didn’t happen,” she teased, pushing a cup into my hands.“it looks horrible and it tastes the same but it works fast, plus Hazel added a few magical herbs,” she said.I eyes the drink cautiously, if this would stop the insistent pounding in my head, then I have no other choice than to gulp it down.Brittany ha
“I want to feel alive, but I can’t fight my fears.”Daisy’s POVI ran out of the dining like I was on fire. Hades deep rambunctious laughter trailing behind me.My feet had led me to Hazel’s garden, the turmoil in my mind had calmed down at the sight of such surreal beauty.I settled down under the oak tree, it’s large branches serving as a beautiful shade from the harsh sun.I closed my eyes, trying to focus my breathing to be in sync with the wind. I could feel the gentle breeze caressing my skin, slowly luring me into a peaceful slumber.The garden filled with dark roses brightened up. Vibrant colors swayed on each stem. I searched around hoping to find my mother, her presence and counseling I longed for.Her slender figure stood at the edge of the river bank, and he eyes fixed on the ripple on the water surface.“Mom?” I called, startled by the worried expression on her face.“Daisy” she smiled.I frowned, my mother is an expressive person. It was no brainer to notice how superfic
“You have remained my power, my pleasure and my pain.”Daisy’s POVI should probably have the title of the worst friend ever.My days were mostly occupied with Priya and Brittany, and my nights solely reserved for my time with Hades.I had introduced a few black roses Hazel had given to me from her garden. Hades still had a haunted look on his face but he appreciated the effort and sometimes pitched in to help.I could say our relationship has shifted to something better. Hades was no longer ignoring me and we had began to do a few things like couples should, or at least I think that’s what they do.I couldn’t hide my excitement when I found out that Lyra would be returning to our pack. It only meant I had less people to worry about hurting me.A smile formed on my face as I took sight of Xavier, tending to a horse the stables. And I was flowed with guilt, the last time I had seen him was the night of the festival and I may have been unintentionally avoiding him.“Xavier,” I called, a
“I crave you like a growing addiction, tell me, is it healthy?”Daisy’s POVAfter the emotional day I had, it was a surprise how easy it was to sleep like a baby in Hades’ arms.The morning had come earlier than expected, the excited chatters and explosive laughter found a way to disturb my slumber.Groaning loudly, I tried to use the pillow to block out their voices, but failed miserably, the voices sounded like they were right above my head.“How long is she going to be like that?” I heard a distinctive voice ask.“you don’t want to find out,” Priya groaned, shaking my body awake.I jolted up from the bed, my eyes searching around for Hades, and I released a sigh of relief when I noticed he was nowhere in sight.My eyes found Priya and Alaric looking at me with wide grin on their faces. I looked at the door and back at them, wondering how they got in.“Hades let us in,” Alaric answered, clearing the confusion on my face.“so when were you going to tell me you and Hades had become be
“Could your touch erase the fear?”Daisy’s POVHades was magnificent.But that alone couldn’t stop me from biting my nails in worry as each claws were drawn, trying to slash his chest.“He’s going to be fine, he has been fighting in this for as long as I can remember,” Priya said, trying to quell my worry.The crowd roared, and I jumped to my feet, Hades had yet again defeated another warrior.His eyes scanned around the crowd like he was searching for something, and my breath hitched when our eyes met.“for you,” Hades mouthed, winking at me.The exchange was quick, the crowd had barely noticed as they were focused on the fact that Hades had once again shown his unmatched vigor on the battle ground.Priya squealed beside me, “you guys are the cutest,” she clapped.I laughed, “stop it,” I mumbled, feeling my cheeks reddened.“I am going to find Alaric, and I am sure you would want…” Priya left the word hanging in the air.“I’ll come find you later,” I said, rushing through the crowd t
“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
