DAISY I could hardly believe my eyes as I heard my name being called out to come to the stage and the uproar of cheers from people I had thought hated me. Poppy had put my name there and for some reason, I won. They had all chosen the people they had known all their lives and chose to vote for me. Who was I to them? Why did they suddenly like me? What was it? Or did they all vote for me because of Declan? The question was answered quickly when I felt their eyes blazing on me and all the people whispering ‘congratulations’ to me. I could not believe it. Felt like I was dreaming.Declan led me up the stage together, and the past prom king and queen were standing, waiting to crown us. “Congratulations.” The former prom queen’s lips were wide as she placed the crown on my head, and everyone cheered even louder. It all felt like a silly prank being played on me, and I knew it was my lack of self love speaking. I deserved this. Being on the stage with my mate and getting all of the attent
DAISY I looked horrible.Yesterday when I came back home and I was still reeling from the shock of what happened, I just removed my dress and wiped off the makeup on my skin then went to bed. I did not even bother seeing what Josette had done to my hair because I did not want to get more upset. But when I woke up in the morning to go to school and I saw what my hair looked like, I immediately broke down. Not even the finest of extensions were going to make me look better. I looked so horrible. My long luscious hair now looked like I had spent time in a psych ward.I did not know she was this crazy. I thought that one day we were going to find peace with each other because she was my mate's best friend, but I was wrong. She liked him and not in the way he liked her, obviously. How did she even know that I had switched Liam with Declan? Had she been stalking us all night? So Liam had not even asked to be his mate that day. She had lied to her friends, hoping that he was going to ask h
DAISY I did not know how fast the triplets would go to protect me until today. My luggage has arrived faster than I had because I had to branch to the store to get Poppy and her parents some treats. I settled on some chocolate covered strawberries and cake slices. I also remembered that Poppy had once told me that they liked sweets, so I got that for them too. I was with Daniel the whole time. He held my groceries for me and opened my doors. I have started to get a little bit used to him. I would still very much rather be on my own but he was growing into me and we had started to talk a little bit. I had decided to not go with the driver and insisted on driving myself to the supermarket and then back to Poppy’s house.“Are you sure you are going to be okay driving by yourself again, Miss Daisy?” He asked me. I rolled my eyes, “I told you to just call me by name, Dan. Also, I will be fine. Just because I am pregnant doesn’t mean that I do not have the ability to drive.” “That wasn
DAISYIt was finally the day of the exams, and I had just had one of the best nights of my life. Poppy and I have been studying for the past three days, and life with her and her parents was everything I could ever ask for. I realised that the only thing bringing me happiness in the palace was the attention I got from my mates. We spent some nights together and we stayed up to talk. Even though I could not deny that that makes me incredibly happy, I could not compare it to how I felt in this house surrounded by people who were not even related to me in any manner. I liked the smell of Zelda’s food and the TV dramas we watched after dinner. They were far into it but they had to explain everything to me before we continued. I wanted to spend the night with them every day for the rest of my life, but I couldn’t. I had to remind myself that as much as this felt so natural and happy, this was not my life. It was Poppy’s life. This was just an escape. I was not going to come and take her
DAISY The exams went well.I did not want to sound overconfident but I was sure that I had passed and would be moving on to college soon enough. This phase of my life was finally over, but it was not, unfortunately. I still have to deal with all of the issues with my double identity. I waited outside and walked around, waiting for Poppy to finish when I came across Daniel. He was standing by the door while he smoked, and his eyes were glued to the ground. When he noticed me, I dropped it to the ground and matched it before he approached me.“You done?” He asked, stretching his hand to collect my bag but I refused. I was not that fragile. “I am. Why are you littering the school?” I squinted my eyes at him. He lowered his gaze back to the cigarette and he quickly picked it up and trashed it, “Sorry, bad habits. Are we going home now?” He asked me, approaching me, but this time his tone was different.This was not the Daniel I knew. His face morphed into a different one. He was shorte
THIRD PERSON’S POVThe triplets have had enough of their mate not being in the comfort of their house, especially Declan. His brothers have been giving him the cold shoulder, and he thought that somehow this might be his fault. He shouldn’t have done what he did the other day at prom. He just hated the attention. Standing in front of all of those people and winning something he did not deserve, it brought him back to the deepest core memories of his childhood. His father always stopped him from celebrating things he did not deserve, no matter how small it was.It had ruined Declan over the years, and so did it that night. He wished he could make her understand and they would have gone home and spent the night together, but she was angry at him so he decided to let her go and stay home. He hated that he had gone home because of what had happened after. He would have banished the girl immediately if she had done that to her mate. He knew that Daisy loved her hair. Now it was all gone, a
DAISY How the hell did they arrive here faster than I did?My eyes trailed down to the shirts they were wearing, and it certainly was not the shirts I saw them wearing a while ago. It was more official than it was before now. I had gone absolutely crazy. I wondered what they were doing here and what made them think I was going to come with them after I had told them to stay away from me. If only they could respect my wishes this once because there was no way in hell they could convince me to go with them.“What are you guys doing here?” I asked, going into the room with my hands akimbo. “Daisy. Goodness, you are alright. I was worried.” Liam sighed, pulling me into his arms. I could not resist so I rested my head on his chest. I missed this. Certainly, but not enough for me to go back to that life. I needed to protect them and protect myself.“Yes, I am. Why wouldn’t I be?” I raised a brow. I was scared that somehow they had found out about all of this. “We found something in your
DAISY “Is that even safe?” Daniel asked after I went into the house and changed my clothes. I did not want to wear the same clothes I was wearing because they made me feel heavy. I was not sure if Poppy was going to come back anytime soon so I decided to not leave her a message to say that I had gone. If everything went well, I would like to keep it a secret.“I have gone there once. The witch there had thrown me out because of something she had been in my memories. I want to know what it was. What could be so bad that a witch like that, who was probably centuries years old was scared of me.” I explained to him as we got into the car.We decided that we were going to drive until we reached the point in the woods where a car was not going to be able to get past. We headed down to the woods, and I realized then that it might have been too late. The sun was going to go down and the woods might be dangerous, but we have also come so far. What if there was danger ahead of us and I was put
