“caught up in your web, again.”Daisy’s POV“You only have to say it, and I will drown your body in so much pleasure,”I jerked out of bed, my heart beating loudly in my chest. I pulled the sheet off my body, allowing the cold morning breeze to touch my skin.I turned slightly looking at the empty spot beside me. It had happened again, the same dream, Hades kissing and begging me to succumb.“Morning,” Hades called, walking into the room, his body glittering with water from the shower.I bit my lips, looking at his body with hunger in my eyes, I could feel my core throbbing as he flexed his muscles, using the small towel to dry off his hair.I used his distracted state to my advantage, checking out his body as he moved.“daisy,” Hades called, with a smirk on his face as he moved closer to the bed I was sitting on.I blushed, my cheeks burning bright red in shame, Hades had caught me red-handed, daydreaming about him body.“enjoying the view, princess?” he teased, brushing his lips slo
“inescapable, I’m not even going to try.” Daisy’s POV She was everywhere. I couldn’t walk a mile without bumping into her. At first I thought it was just my active imagination, but then it became more obvious when I started seeing her around the stables. “I could tell her to leave, you know,” Xavier commented. I knew that would only push her more, I had tried ignoring her whenever she called out to me, and that only seemed to fuel her zeal more. “No,” I sighed, Astrid wasn’t one to back out easily. “How long has she been doing this?” Xavier asked, his eyes glancing over to her every few minutes. “a few days,” I shrugged. Xavier growled, “have you told Hades of this harassment?” he asked. I shook my head, she wasn’t out rightly engaging me like she had done the first day, it was just the coincidence of seeing her at every turn I made. “I will, I just don’t know what to do?” I sighed. Astrid looked like she was haunted by ghosts of her past, and my heart tugged, o
“the longing to disappear. I couldn’t feel.”Daisy’s POV“Hey,” Hades’ baritone voice resonated around my body.I hummed, moving closer to his body. And I felt Hades tense under my touch. I knew he could feel my mental turmoil, the mate bond made it possible for him to feel my emotions to a certain level.“I can’t keep Brittany and Priya away for so long,” he whispered, his fingers playing with a strand of my hair.After my break down at the stables, I had locked myself away in my room, using Hades and my blanket as my cocoon away from everything.Hades’ eyes swirled with worry as he observed my face, I could see the urge to question me dancing in his eyes.“baby?,” he whispered, my body vibrating at the word. Even through my drama with Astrid, my body was still super aware of Hades, I had imagined how good it would feel to throw caution to the wind and let him have me, but I knew I would only be doing that to distract me from whatever it was that I was dealing with. And I couldn’t us
“You won’t see me fall apart.” Daisy’s POV “You are going to hold me hostage?” “No,” Astrid replied, wiping the tears off her cheeks. “We are going to talk and not run away from each other,” she muttered. I looked at the locked door, and turned my gaze to Astrid, “this isn’t going to work,” I mumbled, pacing around the room. I felt trapped, my mind was flooding with bottled up emotions and I wasn’t ready to deal with them. “You don’t get to decide how I get to heal,” I hissed at her, my heart drumming loudly in my chest. “I want us to talk without you running off, I need you,” she said in a broken voice. “I need to get out, open this door,” I screamed, my fist pounding on the door. “daisy,” Astrid called. “You don’t get it, I can’t be trapped in here with you,” I gritted out. “don’t say that,” she said, her eyes watering as fresh tears welled up in them. I let out a bitter laugh, “don’t sound hurt Astrid, you have caused me far more pain,” I hissed. “I had a
“I can’t see it all. Trapped in grey.”Daisy’s POVIt was quiet, too quiet.I slowly opened my eyes, the brightness in the room instantly blinding me.“Don’t sit up so fast,” Brittany scolded, placing her hand on my shoulder.“What happened?” I asked in a groggy voice.It felt strange, like I was forgetting a huge part of a vital information.“You passed out,” Brittany replied, placing a cup of water in my hand.“Thank you,” I whispered.“What were you doing outside her room?” Priya hissed.Brittany turned to Priya giving her a scolded look, and I blinked in confusion trying to understand the situation.“who?” I asked, my mind was disoriented and I needed to fix whatever holes that were in it.“Astrid’s room, did she do something?” Priya asked, ignoring the look Brittany was giving her.It all came flooding back as she mentioned Astrid’s name. My head ached in pain, reliving every moment I had in that room.“not now Priya,” Brittany chided.“When Britt, we both found her hyperventilat
“burned by the feel of your kisses.”Daisy’s POV“Hades is an excellent rider, I am surprised you still don’t know how to ride,”I shot Xavier a death glare at his comment.Astrid had respected my wishes and avoided me, I knew I had agreed to give her a chance but I was still feeling unsure of approaching her yet. And I appreciated her effort in keeping her distance.Xavier’s laughter echoed through the plains we had journeyed through.“Is that meant to be a threatening glare?” He teased, throwing his head back.“I should have accepted Hades offer,” I mumbled under my breath.I had decided to officially learn how to ride a horse, and I had rejected Hades offer after our last horse ride encounter.Hades had gone back to actively teasing me. He had a relieved look on his face as he walked in on us competing on who could fill their mouth with the most nuts.“It shouldn’t be hard for you to fit it in,” Hades had teased me, causing the nuts to spew out of our mouths as we laughed at his fa
“it’s about being brave, and stronger.”Daisy’s POV“Can I come in?”I was back in front of Astrid’s door. Somehow it felt like she needed to hear it from me that I have forgiven her.“Sure,” she whispered, pushing open the door wide for me to enter.I would give it to her, Astrid could never look band even on a bad day. Her hair was perfectly styled, not a strand could be found out of place.“I won’t be here for long, I just came to get it all off of my chest,” I said, reciting the words I had practiced for a while.“I had lived with the burden of thinking I was the problem, allowed our father to let me think I was less, but my blessings truly came in disguise,” I started.“I found my peace here, grew out of the shelf I was locked in,”A small laugh broke out of my lips, “just the other day, I was horse riding, was it crazy yes it was, but goddess did I love every minute of it,”“daisy,” Astrid called, interrupting me mid rant.“No,” I said, holding my hand in front of me.“you will
“I could never leave a fight unresolved.”Daisy’s POV“No,”Brittany hissed, walking away from us.“You know what,” she said, turning back to look at us, her face red in anger.“You might think it’s all fine to sweep things under the rug, but I can never forget that she stood quietly and watched as you were almost hanged,” Brittany yelled.“I am not saying you shouldn’t forgive her, but all I am saying is you can’t expect me to be all smiles with her like I don’t know of the things she had done,”“I love you Daisy, but you can’t make me do that,” Brittany said, tears forming in her eyes.I was instantly struck with guilt, I had enjoyed spending the whole of my day with Astrid, it was beautiful to know she had a lot of personality.And in my moment of excited, I had suggested to my friends that I was hoping they could be cordial with her.“Brittany,” I whispered, my heart breaking at the pain in her eyes.“No, I get it, you just got your sister back and you want to mend the relationshi
“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
