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
DAISY“Daisy?” A soft knock came on the door.“Go away.” I mumbled, shifting on my bed. I had been lying on it for so long that it started to feel like I was bed rotting. I was feeling sick and tired. Everything felt bland to me. It has been a day since the incident happened with the triplets when their secrets were all because they wanted to get me. I did not want to get with any of them if they were capable of such sabotage and betrayal of each other. I was just so tired. The only time I got off my bed was when I wanted to pee and bathe. I didn't even have an appetite to eat anymore. I wanted this stupid fucking war to be over and be away from the palace at least for some time before I cooled off. Staying on this floor, knowing that two people that I did not want to see the most were on the same floor I was living suffocated me. I felt like I was being trapped in here, and I needed some air. “Sunshine, it is me. Are you OK?” He knocked again. I squinted my eyes shut when I realise
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 It has been three days.Three long days of fear and nightmares. I missed my mates so much. I did not just miss Declan. I missed Julian and Liam too. It felt to me like I had forgiven them. All I wanted was for them to be back home to me, safely. I had decided to move to Poppy with me because I did not want to be alone. I looked out of the window one time and saw the crowd of soldiers who were protecting the palace. They were just not protecting me. They were protecting the sacred building of the pack that held all of the secrets and tunnels that made the pack what it was. I thought they were going to be lenient with me but I was not allowed to do anything. There was a doctor who had moved in to live with me who came to check on me all the time. They told me that he was the one who had delivered the triplets so he was a trusted gynaecologist that was going to take care of me at least until they were back. Poppy and I decided to go through the library of the palace, and it was e
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
DAISY “What a pleasant surprise.” I nearly cried out of happiness as the urge to climb onto each and squeeze them until they couldn’t breathe anymore came at me, but I could not act on it with the three babies growing in my belly. Instead, I walked to each of them and hugged them to my chest. “Daisy.” Declan sighed. He looked tired and I could swear that he had shrunken from the last time I had seen him. He needed a lot of rest and food. I was going to be at his service with that. After I had hugged him, I went to hug the rest of my mates and it was brief. Nothing too much. I was excited to see them too but I couldn’t just take it out of my mind yet, what had happened. Maybe if we officially spoke about it then I was going to consider it. If this taught me anything, it was that I needed to know how to forgive my mates when something happened between us. It might not be now, but I eventually had to get past it. They both regretted what they did and it has been a long time since it
DAISY A week had passed since the whole thing about the war happened and today, I woke up near a river in the farthest part of the pack with my sleeping clothes clad on my body. I had felt some insects crawling on me which had me confused because there was usually nothing like that in my room. When I woke up and I realised that I was lying on the dirty floor, I screamed. I looked over the river and chills ran down my spine. What if I had fallen into it?I turned to search the place I was in, and my eyes caught a large barricade by the farthest end. When I looked close enough, I saw glowing eyes and fangs that looked starved. They wanted to have a pound of meat and I seemed to be the closest thing they could have to one. I looked over at the building and that was when I realised that I had come to the pack dungeon where the most rabid and dangerous criminals are kept. There was a reason why the alpha decided to build it here. They knew how dangerous they could be if they were ever rele
