DAISY Thump, thump, thump. “Yes! Harder!” A female voice screamed from the room beside me. “More… I want more.” That and the sound of wood board creaking and hitting the wall woke me up from my sleep. I placed my hand over my eyes, feeling a headache settle in. I felt so sick. So weak. My body felt like it was constricted to a place, and I hated it. And the sex sounds coming from that room were making it even worse. The door to my room opened slowly and I heard two sets of footsteps coming into the room. I opened my eyes, and Liam and Declan were standing in front of me. They both wore worried looks on their faces, and it was then I noticed the slight difference between them. Declan was slightly taller, and Liam had a little scar on his right eyebrow. It made him look hotter. “How are you feeling, Red?” Liam asked, kneeling down as he swept my hair out of my face. Bad. I wanted to tell him that, but I chose not to. I looked down at my body and the arm that I had gotten a wound on
DAISY I was healing well.It had only been a few days and the wound in my arm had started to close up. The doctor that came to see me was shocked too. I did not want to reveal my pregnancy to her until I was sure that she noticed, but she did not. I didn’t need to bribe her or beg her to not tell my mates that I was carrying a child. Today, I decided to go to school by myself. Poppy had been coming to visit me, and she was in awe of the whole place. Most of the people in the pack did not know what the interior of the palace looked like. It was surreal, compared to the rest of the houses in the pack. There were rich men too in the pack. Business men, doctors and lawyers. Their houses were big and majestic but I could bet that none of them looked better than the house where the alpha stayed. Poppy had told me to walk down to school today, and I was skeptical at first. I didn’t know if I was strong enough for it. A few more motivations from her and I stood up to my feet and got ready
DAISY “What happened, Liam?” I stood up to my feet, my heart starting to race in my chest, wondering what had happened. “Red.” He let out a breath as he wrapped me in his arms. I sighed as I leaned into him, his tall frame and bulky arms swallowing me whole. It felt like home, in the arms of my mate. I almost forgot where I was, and what had brought me here. Liam’s scent was addicting. He smelt like happiness and love to me, and it made me feel so good. I did not want to let go, but I had to when I heard Principal Locke clear her throat, bringing both of us back into the world. I pried myself away from his hold and raise my eyes to look at him. He looked relieved. Maybe he was looking for me at home and when he did not see me he rushed here to look for me. That made me smile. No one, except for Poppy, of course, had ever done that for me. It made me feel wanted and cared for. It was a new feeling and I wanted to relish in it forever. “What happened?” I repeated, entwining both of
DAISY I didn’t know how to feel about that. I wondered if Julian knew that his friends were the ones that attacked me and yet, he still chose to hang out with them. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I just couldn’t. It was not beyond him to do something like this to me. I guess nothing really changed even though he was one of my mates now. Of course, he would be banging another girl right next to the room where I was sleeping.He doesn’t care. He never did. And I needed to stop worrying about him because he was not worth all of the stress. I was not going to choose him. Even though every fiber of my being gets angry whenever he does something wrong to me because the mate bond was still binding us together, I had to train myself to stop feeling that way. He was not going to stop on my account. He has always been a dick and I guess, he would always remain that way.“Red?” Liam called out to me. I turned to look at him, swallowing down the lump in my throat. I had not
THIRD PERSON’S POVDeclan had his own fair share of experiences with women. He knew that they desired him, even before he knew what a woman’s body felt like sexually. He had always thought that women were going to come easy to him, and so he let that happen. He did not have time for them. He knew that one day he would have to put in the extra work to make his mate fall in love with him whether he liked it or not, because he was automatically going to have a competition with his brothers. He had to shed some of his responsibilities and focus on her. But Daisy did not make it easy for him. Declan felt like she was afraid to open up to either of them and he understood why now. He had to beat the shit out of some of the jerks that were with his brothers the night that he had rejected her, and they told him all about it. How they planned it, down to how they decided the day that they were going to embarrass her. They had wanted to do it in front of the entire school, but they did not have
DAISY I could tell that Declan felt bad that I had treated him that way. I should not have, but it was the only way for me to get in touch with the feelings inside of me. I did not want to be labelled as the girl who was only with the sons of the dead alpha because I wanted something from them. I wanted to make something of myself, or else I will always be seen in their shadow. When everyone realised that I was pregnant in high school for one of them, unfortunately to the one that did not even care about me, then there was nothing I would be able to do to stop the rumours from getting even worse. This was so messed up. I had always wished to have love since I came into this pack. I did not know if in my past life, I had a lover or if I was even married. I wondered what was the story that made me not have a wolf, because that was abnormal. Was I cursed, or was I just born with an anomaly? I wanted to have answers to that so badly but there was no one to ask. I woke up randomly in the
DAISY I woke up to the taste of something powerful on my tongue. It was nothing like I had ever tasted before. So blunt and strong, like blood but the taste was amplified. My eyes fluttered open, and I realised that I had been clenching down on my teeth and that perhaps my gums had started to bleed. I eased my jaw as I started to feel conscious of the place where I was. In my room, with my body facing up. I had fainted, once again. I did not remember fainting like this all the time, but I guess it was because of the pregnancy. I was still using my body and overworking it the way I used to before. I needed to stop doing that. I did not want to rely on them finding me all the time when I was unconscious. How they had all known that I was hurt and had come to my aid immediately was beyond me. “She is up.” Someone said beside me, and it did not take me two guesses to realize that it was Declan. I remembered how I treated him the last time that he was here and how he was still here for
DAISY “Do you think we should get snacks?” Liam asked me as he propped his body up and dragged the covers to close the lower half of our bodies. “I mean, what is a story without something to munch on?” I replied. My stomach growled right then, and I was sure he heard that he decided to not comment about it. I did not know what time it was. From what I could see outside, it was dark, but it was getting brighter which meant that it was a new day. I was unconscious for the whole of yesterday. I wondered why they had hesitated to call the doctor if I had been passed out for so long. Maybe one had checked me and realised that it was nothing to worry about. Either way, I was glad that at least none of them knew the big secret I had that was growing in my belly. “You are right, Red.” He whipped his phone out of his pocket. He punched in a few numbers and dialled it. I heard the faint voice of the butler of the palace on the other side of the phone. Liam hung up and laid back down next to
