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
DAISY“I haven’t been seeing you since I came back from the war, Red.” Liam spoke, turning to look at me. I hated to be one to say this, but he looked like shit. His eyes were sunken inside, and his skin looked pale. I wondered if he had been even resting at all since the day they came back. I have not even gone to check up on him. I needed to remind myself that it goes both ways, because Liam would come to check up on me every hour if something even relatively bad happened to me.I needed to be checking up on him— on them. I was not worried that they were going to run to other women for solace if I did not do that for them. Instead, I was scared that they were not going to be fulfilled in the relationship. They were doing their best to take care of me. This was the bare minimum. “I thought you need space to yourself so you can work all of this out,” I paused, then looked down at his hands which I could swear I just noticed were trembling. He needed rest. “I think you should go back t
DAISY The woods brought back memories that I thought I had buried for a long time. The day when I was born into this life. Maybe while I was at it with the witch, I was eventually going to ask her what had happened to me in my past life that I had no recollection of. With every step I took toward her, all I could think about was how I was going to react to the truth of what happened to me. I am a different person now. With different aspirations, love life, and goals. Who was I before I became Daisy Miller?How did I style my hair, and what was the style of clothing I usually wore? Were my parents alive or did they pass away? Did I have a boyfriend? If I did, was I going to leave the triplets for him if I found out that I loved him more? So many questions but all of them were going unanswered and finally, I might get the answers to them today. I beat through the bush, slightly paranoid that someone was following me from the pack until I reached where the pendant had taken me to. The p
DAISY I reached the pack right when the sun had gone down. The path back home somehow was more confusing than the path that led me there. I thought the connection from Poppy’s enchanted pendant was out which was why, but that was not the case. The deep dive the witch had done in my head somehow had made me even more confused and I had a feeling that my situation was even worse than it was normally. I hoped it was not going to mean that I was going to turn even crazier than I was before. When I got down the palace when I reached the pack, I could see guards running around disorderly. The pack guards were nothing short of orderly. It did not take me to be a genius to realise what was happening. The triplets realised that I was not in the pack and they decided to send out search parties for me. Damn Poppy. I told her to cover for me. I rushed into the palace door and the triplets and my best friend were the first people I laid eyes on. “I told you, I did not know where she was. I am
DAISY It did not stop. Poppy told me that it was an alter ego in me that was trying to kill me, probably from the loss of balance of how I was suddenly living two lives. It did not make sense to be two different identities at the same time, so maybe my past self wanted to come to light, overshadowing Daisy Miller. That was too stressful for me. I needed to be strong and give birth to my babies. I needed to ace my exams, and I needed to choose the next alpha all before the alter ego revealed itself or killed me, which it has been trying to do. I tried to ignore all of what it was making me do at odd hours at night. Poppy and I had gone through so many locks but none of them could hold me back. I did not know what I was using to break locks that even the strongest men in the pack could not burst open so easily. It felt so rehearsed and easy for the alter ego that it terrified the shit out of me. So far, I had escaped death more than seven times and now, I was officially going to prom.
