DAISY “Oh my God, Daisy!” Poppy sprang up from the chair and rushed to me with a look on her face that almost made me cry. I missed her so much. Words couldn’t explain how much I was feeling now that I had my best friend back with me and my kids. I have never felt more fulfilled. She gave me a bear hug, and at that point, it was everything I had always wanted. When she let me go, I could see the slight confusion on her face because of my choice of clothing. I couldn’t wait to tell her all about my new wolf, and what had happened to me. Strangely enough, even though we have always wondered about it, I wanted to keep my old identity. I did not want my name to be stripped away from me. I did not want Lucy Black anymore because quite frankly, the person that was Lucy is far gone. She is several centuries gone. My life now is everything I could ever ask for and I was grateful for it. “Oh my God.” She repeated, her eyes brimming with tears. Mine were too but they were unshed. I couldn’t b
DAISY Grief. I had never known how deeply that ate a person up until today. I had lost people in my past life as Lucy Black, and I had also lost Joyce when I first came to this pack but nothing compared to losing one of my mates. My chest went blank, and there was this white noise in the background of my ears like I was about to give it all up and die. It was the most traumatising thing I have ever heard, and it had reeled me for the next week. I felt like giving up when I heard it. To lock myself up in my room and never leave again but that was not even possible now because I had kids. I had to take care of them. A week had passed and I felt like I was going crazy. I realised that even Julian and Declan did not have time to mourn their brother. After he died, the witches attacked almost immediately and they were threatening to come in and destroy everything. They had to act fast and drop everything they were going to gather their soldiers and prepare them for war at such a short no
DECLAN “What does this man even want from us?” Julian’s usual whining came while I tossed the pancake on fire that I managed to mix. Wren asked us to make her pancakes because she was with the kids while Daisy was out on a work. We decided to relieve the cooks of their duties for the rest of the week while we were mourning. They only came into the simple tasks and they left. We took routines in cooking and taking care of the triplets, because we needed the work and bonding to get over the traumatic event we had just witnessed. “We want to talk to us about what had happened, probably.” I suggested. Beta Andrew was literally our second father now. If he summoned us then it had to be something about our brother's death and I really did not want to discuss that right now. “I do not want to talk about it.” Julian shrugged, plopping a grape in his mouth as he straightened up and sat down on the counter. “Neither do I. But we cannot decline his call. We need to go now.” I told him as I t
DAISY I wanted to do whatever it was going to take to help. I needed something that was going to help me fill the void in my life. I am happy with my family now. My three gorgeous kids and their dad, Declan, Poppy, and even Wren. She has been the one responsible for the kids since they brought them back home and they are quite fond of her. It was taking the time to get warmed up to me but I was sure it was only a matter of time. They were soon going to recognize me as their mother. “I think it is about time we name these munchkins,” Poppy commented as she pinched their cheeks while they giggled at an expression she made. They were so intelligent and I could feel them getting smarter every day. They were pretty hot shots, being born of two alpha parents. “I am tired of calling them baby one, baby two, and baby three.” “I do not know what to name them yet, and we have been through a lot of shit. I think I should wait it out until things are back to normal and there is a sense of norm
JULIAN “How is she here?” I asked.“What” Declan asked. “How?” Wren asked, all simultaneously. I almost couldn’t believe what she was saying because there was no way our mother had been in this pack all this time. Or maybe she was here not too long ago. Either way, I was not interested in seeing her. She knew what she was doing when she decided that she did not want us in her life anymore. If she had left only us, then it would have been better for me to take it, but she did not just do it to us.She did to Wren too. It wasn’t like the situation of living in the pack with our father was not pleasurable. She was just a deadbeat mum who did not deserve any iota of sympathy from us. But I knew Declan would be willing to enable her. He was always the mature one between us. He was the older brother out of the three— now two of us, after all. He was the one who stood and stopped us from acting irrationally. “I do not know. But I could narrow down to the place she is.” Daisy kissed her te
DECLAN “How did she even know that her memory was lost?” Wren leaned towards my ear and whispered in it, her eyebrows knitting as she spoke. I was wondering that too. It was like she already knew what was going on in her head already when she came here. Maybe it had to do with her witch powers or she was simply just good with people, which had unleashed when she knew about her past.We have not really spoken about that. I was cured of the person she was before but if she did not want to show it then I was not going to force her to share it. I wanted to know her fears before, who she was, and what she was like before. I wanted to know if she had the same personality when she was Lucy and when she turned to Daisy. I wanted to know everything about her. To wrap her in my arms and protect her but this was not the time for it. There was so much going on for us to be considering that. Now with the arrival of my mother and finding out that she had lost her memory and somehow ended up here,
DAISY“I am going to do it.” I have already made up my mind that I would be the one who would have to take the risk. Julian’s life had just started. He was destined for greatness in his life. I wasn’t going to allow him to throw that away to let me die because this was not the first time I have been alive. I have been alive in two lifetimes and I think I have experienced enough. I was grateful for all I had done and seen. Maybe it was time for me to lay to rest and this time when I was going, I was glad that I would be going because of my children. I was doing it for a greater cause. “No, you are not.” Julian disagreed with me. I knew he was going to argue but I wished but would understand that this was not one of the arguments that he would be able to win against me. I had to do this. We do not have to do it immediately, but it has to be in a specific time frame. I knew it because I was the one that created the whole spell. If I was going to reverse it then it would have to be in a
JULIANThis all felt suffocating to me. I had thought this was over. The pain, suffering, and torment of dealing with loss and grief. But apparently it wasn’t. This time, it was not even someone that was dying on me. I was about to be the one that was going to die. Somehow, I had always thought I would be the one that was going to die first. I was the nonchalant one and didn’t really care about the crown. I knew that I was the less deserving one for the crown and being mated to our mate when we had her, so I was going to be the first victim of the prophecy. But unfortunately, I wasn’t and Liam was the one that fell into its ugly jaws first. I wish I was able to change it. I wished I could go back in time and die first because I could not deal with this. I have created holes in the middle of my room as I walked around. I was fighting the urge to carry a bottle of alcohol and chug it down but I had to be sober for my kids. If I were to die, I didn’t want to do it without anyone remem
