“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

“When did lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?”Daisy’s POVIt was the final day, I was mostly excited about the fact that the brutal clashing of swords and claws would finally come to an end.The crowd today had tripled in size, it was almost impossible to walk without bumping into another.“Daisy,” a voice shouted, trying to signal me out of the throng.I side stepped, walking towards the lady that had screamed my name, my eyes taking in her appeal, and I recognized her as one of the ladies who sat with Astrid in the royal tent.“Hi,” I said in a low tone, trying to keep my face calm.“Hi, sorry, I heard your friends call you Daisy,” she explained, smiling brightly at me.“oh,” I said, feeling embarrassed that I had assumed her meeting me was about Astrid.“I’m trying to get my bearings straight, but I can’t tell which is which,” she said looking around with a confused look on her face.“I am Rivera,” she said, smacking her forehead like she had forgotten h

“We couldn’t see the facts through our fury.”Daisy’s POV“Hades,”I called out in the darkness, a broken sob broke out of me.“Hey,” Xavier said calmly, his hands rubbing my back soothingly as I continued to cry.“He, he,” I tried to say, my chest constricting as I tried to speak.“Shh,” Xavier shushed me.I was far from being consolable, my world had crumpled right before my eyes and there was nothing I could do to change it.“Drink this, it will help,” Xavier said, placing a warm cup in my hand.I took small sips, feeling the liquid trickle warmly down my throat, filling my body with a warm feeling.“It is only going to help you sleep, I come in and check on you later,” Xavier said, kissing my forehead.I closed my eyes sinking into the dreamless slumber. The darkness calmed my mind as I sank deeper into the void.It might have been thirty minutes or an hour that I slept, but I couldn’t tell, my body felt relaxed and loose, and I couldn’t help but wonder what mixture Xavier had giv

“I wish I could explain it better.”Daisy’s POVI pushed Xavier off.My feet moving on auto pilot as I tried to close the distance between us.“Hades,” I called, trying to get his attention.My eyes looked to the crumbled flowers in his hand, the scattered petals mirroring my broken heart.“Hades stop,” I screamed, my voice echoing through the stables ground.Hades paused, his back towards me as I moved closer to him.“Look at me, please,” I cried, my fingers touching his back.“How long?” He growled, his voice sounded low and dangerous.“How long what?” I asked in confusion, my heart hammering in my chest.“how long have you been a two timing bitch,” he spat, his voice filled with venom.I flinched, gone was the loving warmth I felt whenever he stared at me, now I could see hate and disdain in his eyes.“Never,” I cried, moving closer to him, trying to close the distance.Hades pulled back, his body recoiling like my touch had burned him. I hated the distance that was between us, it

“chasing shadows of happiness, trapped in the web of torment.”Daisy’s POV“No” I whispered, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, the smug look on Astrid’s face only confirmed that I wasn’t stuck in some horrible nightmare.“Daddy!!!” Astrid shrieked running into my father’s arms with a bright smile on her face.My knees buckled, the wall behind me was the only anchor holding me firm from falling to the ground.“Astrid,” my father said in a gruff voice, the smile on his face mirroring hers.They said bad news do come only in pairs, well I guess this was the second pair.The first had been discovering that Hades had left the kingdom on some visit of sort to a neighboring pack. It stung because it meant I had no time to see him and maybe try to sort out our fight.And now watching my father stand with Astrid on his side as he talked to Lucien, confirmed that truly bad news do really come in pairs.I tried to discreetly sneaked away from them but as usual luck wasn’t on my side.“Daisy,

“Life’s victims can’t be choosers.”Daisy’s POVThe dark cloud looking over the kingdom was my father’s presence. And to avoid him, I restricted my movement to places I knew I wouldn’t run into him or Astrid.The paranoia I felt, had me locking the door behind me, wedging the door with a chair.I had changed my eating schedule to work around the time I wouldn’t have to run into them and that meant I was skipping out on meals.“Daisy,” Brittany’s voice called, pounding gently on her door.I winced as I slowly moved to the door, “that’s a lot of locks,” Brittany commented, listening to me trying to open the door.The playful look on Brittany’s face was wiped off as she noticed the broken look on my face.Brittany closed the door, “please lock it,” I whispered, my voice dripping with fear.Brittany nodded, twisting the locks in place and rushing to sit beside me in the bed.“What happened?” she asked, her fingers gently poking on my scars as she examined them.“I walked into a door,” I s

“I’ve become a town for your scornful ways.” Daisy’s POV I felt detached. Lucien had followed protocol, turning to my father and he asked what his verdict was. “Fifty lashes and death by hanging, by sunrise,” my father said in a dark voice. Priya cried, looking at her brother with a pleading look in her eyes. It was really out of his hands, the law was made to keep everyone in line. It was abominable to steal from an Alpha or any royalty in a pack. Lucien’s hands were tied, he had no other choice than to approve my father’s verdict. The crime had been committed on his land, and this was a way to appease the alpha. I saw the end before it all begun, my father had made certain of it, there was nothing to stop his pronouncement. The only person would have been Hades, his power as the Alpha King gave him the authority to veto the verdict. But he wasn’t here, and he won’t be for another two days. My father had made sure of it. Lucien sighed, his eyes filled with pity, “tomorrow

“How long can I wade through the tide?”Daisy’s POV“Get up,”The sun had risen, I looked outside, my eyes taking in the last sunrise before I took my last breath.My heart beat matched the tempo of the drums as I walked down to the arena, where they had prepared my gallows.The air was somber, children stood with pitiful gazes watching as I was to be brought to my final end.My father stood on the make shift stage, his eyes shining brighter than the sun. Astrid stood beside him, dressed in black from head to toe. It was almost like she was mourning my demise.“We are gathered here today, by the ruling of the old law,” Lucien started, his eyes fixed on mine.“today, Daisy Smith had been found guilty of theft,” he said, his voice cracking at the pronouncement.My hands were tied around the pole, my shirt had been ripped out.The drumming had stopped, the silence was palpable, and I closed my eyes tight, begging myself to not fall apart.A sharp crack sound whizzed through the air, my l
