“the truth is real, but they seldom come.” Daisy’s POV “I am stepping out, there’s food on the counter, and I kept your drugs beside the glass of water,” Astrid barely looked at me as she spoke, and before I could whisper a thank you, she had shut the door on my face. The tension between us was palpable, we barely exchanged words or glances, our only interaction was the constant instruction to take the drugs. I had tried complaining about the sudden increase from a pill to three, but I bit my lips against it. Things were already rocky between us, and I would only further rock the boat if I protested again. I did the cowardly thing ever, accepting the drugs and pretending to take them. It’s easier to accept than to argue, as the saying goes, “saying yes can never be a burden,” It’s almost two weeks, with no contact from Brittany, Priya or Hades. It was like they had completely forgotten about my existence. I finished up the breakfast Astrid had laid out, and hid the

“like a fool, I danced on the web of deceit.”Daisy’s POV“She has been drugging you,”That was all it took for tears to flow endlessly down my cheeks.“Why?” I cried.It didn’t make any sense, Astrid and I were fine, we were cordial with each other.“What should I do?” I muttered to myself.“Hey we are in this together,” Priya said, trying to calm me down.“Look, I am going to take everything as evidence and I will inform Lucien” she continued.“Yes, that’s a great idea,” Brittany nodded.“I need you to pretend like you don’t know what’s happening, we need her to feel like she’s getting away with everything,” Priya said.I nodded my head at her words, Astrid was smart, and I wondered just how long I would be able to fool her.“take these instead, it will help clear out the effects of the hallucinogen she has been feeding you with,” Brittany said.“It’s just vitamins,” she explained.“I guess this means that we should also limit contact with each other,” Priya said.It was a perfect i

“executioner style, there was no pleading. My fate was sealed.”Daisy’s POVI wasn’t prepared for the sight.Astrid look of pleasure as she rode Hades broke me.I couldn’t see much of Hades, he was covered well in the shadows but the moans that escaped from Astrid’s lips was enough evidence I needed.My startled gasp caused Astrid’s eyes to open in shock.The look of pleasure on her face turned to horror, “Daisy,” she called, trying to get me to stop.But I had already seen enough, Astrid was never helping me. She was using my desperation to draw closer to Hades.I was right all along, I only needed to see that Hades’ want for me had finally expired.Thud, thud, thud. My steps sounded rhythmically against the ground as I ran. I couldn’t see pass the tears welled in my eyes but I knew the destination I was heading to.“daisy, wait!” Astrid’s panicked voice sounded behind me.But I only pushed forward. There was nothing to say or discuss. Hades had chosen her, and that was all.I finall

“for the life of us, we can’t get back. Should we give up?”Daisy’s POVIt was a wishful thinking.I had kept my ears open for days, and my heart hopeful every night, listening and praying patiently at every sound of horse hooves pounding loudly on the ground to be Hades.Wishes were just delayed disappointments waiting to happen to a longing soul.Truth of the reality was, my father had successfully gotten rid of me, and his precious seed, Astrid, and she could finally attain power as the Queen Luna.The whispers In the camp were loud, the ground reverberated with tension.

“spit fire in a world so cold.”Daisy’s POV“Alpha Alec requests your presence,”She may as well given me a silver knife to use it and carve out my heart.My heart was in my mouth, walking down the path that led to his tent.Alec Darius had returned in the wee hours of the morning. I had felt a shift in the atmosphere the moment he had arrived.The ground pulsed, the moment his feet touched the ground. He was like a thief in the night, appearing at an unexpected hour.When the sun had risen, and his presence was made known, the camp was in frenzy, their long awaited king had returned.“wont you join in the celebration?” I asked Bertha, surprised at her aloofness.“there are a thousand more years worth of celebration waiting, he won’t miss me,” she muttered, fixing the basket she was weaving.“Go in, he’s expecting you,” the maid said, snapping me out of my reverie. I nodded, feeling ashamed of how lost I had looked when she pointed to the entrance.“Thank you,” I muttered softly, but

“forging my way, through the path of loneliness.”Daisy’s POVI woke up with a start, my eyes wide and my heart pounding heavily in my chest.“It’s only a dream,” I muttered, my hand rubbing my chest to calm the turmoil.It was like I couldn’t escape the sad reality of things, Astrid had played on my weakness, taking away my happiness from me.I relived the moment of dread, every night, the dream would start with Hades kissing my chest. And with a tiny smile on his face, he will let Astrid lead him away from me.A scream tore out of me, startling Bertha who was sleeping quietly unaware of the danger that lurked in the shadow.“Alec?” I whispered.Alec smiled, his eyes filled with amusement, “I didn’t mean to scare you,” he whispered casually.“then you failed miserably,” I snapped.My hand flew to my mouth, covering it and trying to keep it from blurting out more unpolished thoughts.Alec smiled, “I like the uncensored version of you,” he muttered.It was dead in the night, and I cou

“nowhere to run, but my feet keep moving.”Daisy’s POV“So what’s your pack like?”I paused, my hands shaking slightly as she asked the question I have been scared of.Blair and I had gotten pretty close over the days, it was easy to form some sort of alliance.I always tried to handle the heavy part of our chores leaving her to the light and easy ones.I still wake up in panic, searching around for a pair of hazel eyes. My breathing would only even out after I was sure there wasn’t anything lurking in the corner.“It was pretty basic, I mostly kept to myself,” I muttered..Blair seemed to have caught the drift, she knew when to let things go and not push, and somehow I liked that about her.“We have to go,” Blair whispered, her eyes wide in panic, pulling my arm roughly.“What’s going on?” I asked, matching her steps.Blair looked like she had seen a ghost, her eyes wide, and breath coming in short pantsBlair only paused after we had placed quite a distance between us and Alec’s ten

She asked.“I don’t know, but anywhere but here,” I whispered.It was late in the night, Bertha had decided to stay awake with me, her words; ‘I don’t need a dead room mate in the morning,’“Do you have a plan?” She asked, suddenly interested.“Not yet, but I’ll figure it out, I’m resourceful like that,” I mumbled.“Let me know every step you plan to take,” she muttered.“why haven’t you ever thought about leaving?” I asked.Bertha sighed, “not everything is as it seems,” she muttered.My brows furrowed at her words, Bertha was good with words and I was jealousy starting to discover that.“Good night,” I whispered
