The Rejected Luna CHAPTER 58
“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

“Not sure which is worse; holding on or letting go?”Daisy’s POV“How’s she?”Lucien looked broken as he stood in the corner his head hung low in shame.“Where is Alpha Smith?” Hades growled, ignoring his question.I laid on my stomach, my back wide open with sores still dripping dark blood. I would only sleep for an hour before the pain began, burning through my lungs and bones.“Gone, immediately you showed up,” Lucien growled.“Who was the witness?” Hades asked in a gravely low voice.Lucien sighed, running his hand through his hair in frustration, “Astrid,” he uttered.Hades growled, his eyes darkening like a storm in the dark sea. No one moved, fear written across their faces at the presence of his wolf.“he had invoked the old laws,” Lucien said, looking down in anger.“I made the rules,” Hades hissed.“Find me alpha Smith,” Hades barked out orders at the warriors that stood behind Lucien.“Yes alpha,” they chorused matching out of the room.“I want their heads on a spike,” Hade

“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
