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
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 I did not wait back in school to have any more classes. I was too exhausted and tired to do that. I just wanted to go back home. I knew Poppy was going to be angry when she realised that I was gone, so I decided to cut a paper and write her a note, then slid it into her locker. When she checked it, she was going to understand that I was too sick to stay in school yet again. Maybe I should actually take a break from school and stay home for a while. I mean, I was way ahead of my lessons and I could have a teacher that was going to homeschool me. Maybe when all of the issues with the war were over, I could propose it to Declan. He was not going to refuse. I went back home with Daniel, my bodyguard who was now here to stay I guess. When we got home, I hopped out of the car and tied my hair behind my head. I needed to blow some steam off and I did not know how to do that when I lived in the same house with a rapist. I did not care how that sounded because he was my mate, but I was
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
