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 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

THIRD PERSON’S POVLiam was scared for his life. Not literally, of course. This was not a threat to his life in any way, unless someone told her and she decided she did not want to have a murderer to mark her and become her soulmate for life. Someone who had killed the one person that she had ever loved and she looked up to on a pedestal. Things were not looking good for him and he needed to win the damn thing. Daisy did not belong in the arms of any of his brothers. She belonged to him and him alone, and he was going to do everything to make it so.He was not sure things were going the way he wanted them to go though, and it was going to kill him. It would be the end of him. He did not want to lie to her. If he was going to have a good relationship with her, then he would need to be as truthful as possible to her. It was the only way it would work. He could remember the events that led today that he had committed murder for the first time. The first time in his life that he had lost

DAISY A few weeks had passed since I started to get hallucinations, and they did not seem like they were about to stop. I did not know what it was. I wanted to go and find someone with more knowledge than me to help me figure out what was wrong with me, but I did not have the time to. I was burying my nose in my books and I have been making progress. I had bought all of the textbooks I was going to need, and I had been revising with Declan. He had offered to help me, and I could not say no because I wanted to spend time with him.During our time together, I realised something. I found out that he was very smart. I did not know that I was attracted to intelligence until he taught me something I didn't know and I felt a smile making its way to my lips. He was so perfect. Might not be my favourite at the moment, but he might be one day. I just needed to wait it out until my mind and body decided that it was time to make the decision. “Earth to Daisy.” Poppy clicked her fingers to my fa

DAISY The next day, I attended more of my classes and I had a tutoring session with one of the star students of the school that I was paired up with by the principal. I had wished she was going to pair me with one of my mates, but she discouraged public displays of affection in school. I was willing to respect it because I didn’t want to be above the law. After my class, I looked around a bit for Poppy. We were not in the same classes anymore so I did not really keep track of her whereabouts anymore. I checked around the football field, the gym, and the swimming pool. The last place I checked was the lacrosse field, and I saw that she was there sitting while she stared at the boys playing. I wondered if Declan was part of them because I knew he played lacrosse and was the captain of the school's lacrosse team. I wanted to see him without a shirt. To see how structured and hard his body must be. I quickly took the idea off my mind to avoid blushing hard as I approached Poppy.“Hi, gi
