THIRD PERSON’S POV“We could not find them.” The first council member deadpanned as he came into the court, looking distressed just like the rest of them who followed right behind him. Declan and his brothers stood up to their feet almost immediately to hear what they had to say. This could not be happening. None of them in the council knew anything about the strategies of war, because they were all not born when the last war happened. The elders, however, were. Which was why they were the only ones that could help. “What do you mean by that?” Beta Andrew frowned. “I gave you their names and where you will be able to find them respectfully. How couldn’t you find them?”“They were not in the place you told us. They are either gone, or they are all dead. Because their houses have been taken over, and we couldn’t find any of their belongings. It was like they had just vanished.” One of the other council members shook his head. “No, this can’t be happening.” Liam ran his fingers through
DAISY My anxiety had tripled since Declan had taken me to my room yesterday and he left for the meeting with the council. I had hoped that everything was going to be alright and the war would have diverted from the pack. He was going to come a few hours later and tell me that I did not need to worry. I tried to stay away but I failed at it because I fell asleep a few hours later. When I woke up next, it was in the morning. We were told that we needed to go to school that day, and I was sure it had to do with the war emergency. Nobody knew about it except me, the sons of the alpha, the beta, and the council members. I got ready and got to school like usual, and Poppy stuck beside me while I walked to the cafeteria to get a snack to munch on because I hadn’t eaten at home due to anxiety. I realised that it was a bad idea when I came to school and I felt more hungry than I had ever been. I only had one meal yesterday, so that was the reason. I needed to change the damn habit if I wante
DAISY I had promised myself that I was going to tell them, but I did not have the balls to do it. I had tried so many times but I chickened out just at the last moment. It was scarier than I thought it was going to be. Things have been too hectic in the pack for me to have told them. Today was the second day, and the three of them had been going helter skelter trying to contact the pack elders who were now spirits. I did not know that people could contact the dead until now. Liam told me that the elders would not speak to him and Julian. They would only speak to Declan.That made me suspicious, and to start thinking of things I should not think about because what if the elders knew something I did not? If they would not talk to either of the two of them, then maybe they saw something in Declan that they did not see in either Liam or Julian. They knew that he was the only one who deserved to be the alpha of the pack. It felt like they were saying it indirectly, but I pushed it to the
DAISYMy eyelids were heavy the next time I opened my eyes. I was confused as to where I was until my eyes caught one of the bright crystals in the chandelier of my room that I hated. It always shined so brightly and blinded me whenever I fell asleep and forgot to turn it off. Today was no exception. I decided to tell one of my mates to have it removed because it brought me too much discomfort. My eyes were still on it when the door to my room creaked open, and someone came in.I couldn’t crane my neck to see who it was because it hurt so much. Did I break my neck when I embarrassingly fell in front of everyone and fainted? How could that have happened to me? I knew I was too tired, but I did not know I was too tired that I had passed out. When I joked about it, that was all it was meant to be. A freaking joke. Just for it to happen a few minutes later. I was sure Poppy was not going to let me get away with this. She was going to tease me about it until the day my soul left my body.“
DAISY“That is not possible.” I shook my head as I glanced down at my protruding belly. It was four months, and the bump did not look like it was carrying up to three children. How was that possible? I had decided to not check and now I was met with a shocker right when I was caught in a lie with my mates. How was I going to get out of this one? “It certainly is. Since the doctor herself had checked. Twice. And she found out that you were pregnant with three kids,” Liam swallowed. It seemed like he was the only one that wanted to speak and the rest of the two were still in shock at what was happening. I did not know where to start apologising from, or explaining from. I had never been in a situation like this. Being caught in a lie that was this grave. “How could you have hidden such a big piece of information like this from us, Red?”I was glad he was still calling me with the pet name she had given me. He did not exactly hate me or my guts. I had a chance to get out of this without
THIRD PERSON’S POVLiam could not understand how he got knocked off the race in less than a week. All the work he did to make Daisy feel special has now gone down the drain. All of the time he spent with her and all of the energy he had invested was like nothing anymore. His rage knew no bounds. When Declan was out flipping through papers and Julian was out partying with girls, he was with her. And now he was not even sure if she considered him to be the person she was going to choose to mark her. He did not even care about the throne anymore. Or the stupid prophecy that weakened the relationship he had with his brothers. He wanted her because he knew he had fallen head over heels in love with her. He thought of her every day when he woke up, and throughout the day while he went on with his routine. He could not go a day without seeing her. He would get into her room and check if she was safe every night, hoping she would be awake so she could ask him to come lay down with her. Cuddl
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
DAISYI could not sleep for the rest of the night. I was too in shock to even consider it. When the day rolled by and it was time for me to go to school, I felt feverish and sick. Half of what I could think about was the face of the lady. The poor lady. The other section of my brain, the one I was not ready to tap into, was the hate I had for Julian. The perverted fucker, living his best life while he had destroyed the life of a poor young girl that just wanted to party that night. And he might have thought that it was me. I did not care if he was drunk or not. A new person is not bore out of alcohol when they drink it. It brings out the person that was inside of you, the one that was not bold enough to act until the alcohol made it. This was why Julian was. And as I thought of him last night, I realised that I should not even be surprised. I knew the flock he followed in school. I could not put this behind them. This was something they would do. Something he would do. I decided th
