DAISY I was exempted from the training the next day. In fact, all of the pregnant people were pardoned from training. Declan had decided to assign a guard to every person that was vulnerable. Like sick people who would also not be able to train, handicapped people, nursing mothers, and old people. I was glad that he had done all of that because the mania of making everyone run lapses was crazy. Of course, children were exempted too. Since they were too much to be guarded by a guard each, they were taken in groups. Every night, three groups of guards rotated in the area to make sure that there was no threat coming to them.If they sensed any, then they would send a distress signal and backup would come to help them take the kids to safety. I did not know that the pack had an underground safety bunker until today. It was made to shield the wolves in case any danger was to come. I was surprised and confused as to where they got the technology to do all of that, until Declan told me tha

THIRD PERSON’S POVJulian thought his deepest and darkest secret had been buried four months ago when it happened. It was the night that he had done the worst thing that he had ever done. The worst two things he has ever done. He had not been able to forgive himself for either of them. The one he had done in the darkest part of the night, the guilt had eaten him up more than the one he had done with Daisy. That was not him. The person that night that had done those unspeakable things to her was not him. He would never hurt a woman that way. He had filled his body with more toxic drugs that could kill three adults. He was told that when he went to the hospital the next day. He had drunk himself to stupor, and he brought some hard drugs and nearly overdosed on them. Then, he went to the party and all he could see was Daisy. Her voice, her laughter, her long beautiful ginger curls. It reached a point where he had blacked out and that was when he did the deed. The next day, he had a few

DAISY “What is it?” I asked him, bringing my arms to my chest as I looked between them.The look on Liam’s face sent chills running down my spine because I did not know if I was going to be able to handle one more secret coming from them. He looked scared as he looked over at Julian. Like he was hoping something was going to happen that would shut him up. It could not possibly be worse than what Julian did, right? I mean if Liam had told the girl to tell me and he had a secret that could get out too, then he wouldn’t have done that. “Julian, please.” He begged, but Julian shook his head. He even looked pleased while doing it. “Daisy. When you first came into the pack, you had a friend. Right?” Julian asked. No. This shouldn’t be related to Joyce. Please, it shouldn’t. I did not know if I was going to be able to handle it if what I was thinking was what he was going to say. I was not going to be able to bear that kind of heartbreak. “Yes,” I answered, swallowing down the painful

DAISY I tried to be optimistic for a while, but it turned futile as soon as they told us that the war was officially on the outskirts of the pack. We could hear the sounds of guns going off and bombs blasting. It felt so surreal. I really thought it was not going to come to this, but alas I was too optimistic and this was bound to happen eventually. When I found out that my mates were going to go to the war, I was scared. They had to go and guard the pack front because they were supposed to be in charge of things like this. Since none of them is officially the alpha, they were all obligated to. None of them looked like they wanted to chicken out of this. They equally looked opportune to guard the pack and even be willing to die for it if the push was ever to come to shove. I felt so bad for them. I wished there was a way I could stop them from going, but I couldn’t. I also couldn’t come to terms with the fact that one of them could die there. They could all even die. They had enoug

DAISY “What is happening here?” I whispered to myself as I got down the last step. I turned to look at my best friend to find out if she was seeing what I was seeing and from the slight tilt of her head, she was too. There was indeed a crowd there. “Do you think they are the people from the war?” Poppy sounded like she was shivering. I had never heard her feel so scared this way. It was almost comical to me. They were not people from the war. They were the people from this pack, and it seemed as though they had gathered here to train. That made my tongue bitter because I thought I was told that the entire pack was on a lockdown. I was lied to, just so I was going to be contained in the house like some prisoner. I wondered who it was. Was it one of the triplets, or maybe it was Beta Andrew who was worried about that? Whoever it was, they did not have the right to do something like this to me. It angered me so much but there was so much I could do when I did not know who to point a f
