Daisy Pov
“Did you just call my Father Daddy?” I asked in shock.
“Yes. That is the reason I called you here. These are your twin step siblings, Nicole and Nathan. And that's your stepmother, Gianna. They'll be living here as of this moment.” Father said and I gasped.
“Father, that is impossible!” I yelled.
“Do not tell me what is possible and not possible. How can it be that the Next heir in line to the throne, has no wolf form? That in itself is an impossibility.” Father said.
I clenched my fists.
“How long have you had them as a family? Because they are obviously my age.” I asked.
“We were told your mother would not be able to conceive. Being that she was my mate and I couldn't get a divorce because it was against pack customs, I looked for an alternative outside. Gianna and Your mother became Pregnant at the same time. I wondered if I should keep the children with Gianna. When Your mother gave birth to a girl, you, I was thrilled. But I was even more thrilled when Gianna gave birth to twin kids, a boy being one of the twins, the next day. I wanted a son Badly because it meant that I would have a successor.” Father said and Mother looked at him, her eyes shining with Tears.
“That means that you never planned to make Daisy the Alpha of the pack, nor your successor to the company.” Mother said slowly. “How could you do this?” She asked.
“I did. I hoped that she'd have the means needed to become a successful Luna and a successful CEO. But when she insisted on becoming a Doctor, plus she was unable to shift into a wolf form, what better option than to bring my children from Gianna into the equation? I wasn't going to let my name die off like that because she is a Legitimate child.” Father said.
“You disrespected my mother. You had children outside and didn't bother to let her know. You decided to bring your bastard kids into our home, and make your illegitimate son the next in line, just because you think I'm a failure?!” I thundered.
“Do not yell at your Father, Daisy!” Gianna said to me and glared at her.
“You are not in any position to tell me what to do, you vile home breaker.” I spat out angrily. She gasped and I turned to stare at Father, anger and disgust swelling inside of me.
"You've been lying to us all this time?" I yelled, my fists clenched at my sides. "How could you betray my Mom, betray us like this?" I yelled.
His eyes, normally warm and reassuring, now avoided mine. "Daisy, I didn't plan for things to turn out this way. It's complicated.” He said calmly.
"Complicated?” The anger surged through me, a turbulent storm I couldn't contain. "Complicated? That's your excuse? You've shattered our family, and all you can say is it's complicated?" I turned away, unable to look at him any longer.
“It's your fault! Why did you have to be a child with no wolf?!” He yelled.
“That is some Pathetic excuse, Alpha Winans. You lived a double life, pretending in front of the Pack to be an upright Alpha, while sneaking off to go see your shotgun children you got from a sick one-night stand. I can't believe you are trying to blame me for this. It's your fault, for not being able to stand up for your child. You are supposed to protect me, not dump me for bastard children that are not even legitimate!!” I yelled angrily.
“You will not address my children that way!” Gianna yelled.
“I will address them the way I want. Your children do not deserve any respect, because unlike me, even though I don't have a wolf, my Mom is a legal wife, a fated mate, and from a standard well respected family. While you, only the moon goddess knows where my Father picked you from. Your children and you, will not get any respect from me.” I said angrily.
“Daisy. That's alright.” Mother said.
“It's not alright! How can he do this to you? To me? To us?” I asked angrily.
“I had no choice!! And you shouldn't be talking this way to me or your stepmother!” Father thundered, making me flinch. I calmed down a bit and sighed.
“That slutty witch is not and will never be my stepmother!” I said angrily.
“Then get ready to leave my house. Your Mother and yourself.” Father said and I looked at him.
"You are very disgusting. I can't even stand the look of you. All of you.” I said and walked away, tears cascading down my eyes as I walked away.
I can't believe that my Father would have a family outside, and blame it on my Mother and I. I locked my bedroom door and collapsed by the door. I cried my heart and eyes out.
It had been over Ten years since I shed this much tears. Father had hurt me, in so many ways. But this.. this hurt the most.
Especially because my birthday was in a few days.
*********
“Happy Birthday, My angel.” Mom said as she entered my bedroom with a candle-lit cake, two days after the whole incident. I smiled slowly at her.
“Thanks, Mom,” I said calmly. Two days had passed and it had been relatively calm. I avoided the Dining room where Father and his new family would always be. Father didn't even show the least bit of remorse.
“What are you thinking about?” Mother asked and I snapped out of my thoughts.
“I'm just wondering where Dad is. It's my birthday, shouldn't he be here to wish me. Especially since it's my coming of age.” I asked.
“He said he'd see you later at the coming-of-age Ceremony he's holding for you and your siblings tonight. They turn 18 tomorrow as well..” Mother said and I rolled my eyes.
“They are not my siblings, Mother,” I said and Mother inhaled deeply and breathed out. She looked at me.
“Listen to me. Your Father is only doing what he thinks is right for himself and the Pack. The pack comes first before anything, and if he must resort to lowly terms to protect it, Your Dad won't think twice. That's how he is. You must understand that he loves you and even though he's treating you wrongly, understand that it's coming from a place of intense Duty as an Alpha.” She said,
“Don't try to make up excuses for him. I get that he is the Alpha. But I am his Daughter. A child of his loins. I should be a priority as well. He just brought them in two days ago, and his attention has shifted towards them. He didn't even congratulate me on my entrance into the University. He doesn't care about me or you anymore. And that is so sick and disgusting of him.” I said. “I don't even want to talk about this and ruin my day. I'm just going to get ready for the Party.” I said and Mother smiled sadly at me.
“I love you a lot, Daisy. Your Father does too.” She said and I nodded.
I hoped to God that at this Party, I would find a mate. Because that will be my only escape route out of this hell hole my Father had thrown me into.
The party had started and as I waltzed out, all dolled up, the people stared at me, most likely wondering how beautiful I was. My step-sister stepped out of the house, and people started to murmur wondering who she was.
I pretended like she didn't exist and walked to where my best Friend, Sophie, was.
“Is that the Bitch?” She asked and I looked towards where my stepsister was and I sighed.
“Unfortunately,” I said and she rolled her eyes.
“She looks so slutty. A total attention seeker.” Sophie said and I giggled. Nicole walked towards where we stood.
“Hi, stepsister. Lovely Party look our Father planned for us, isn't it?” She asked loudly to the hearing of other people and I glared at her.
“What are you trying to do?” I asked her.
“Making people know that I am the Daughter of the Alpha. Just like you.” She said and I clenched my fist.
“Shut up. You don't have to embarrass my Dad like that.” I said through gritted teeth.
“Correction. Our Dad. And I'm not embarrassing him. I'm just pre-informing the people, those who care to know that we share the same Dad.” She said. “That being said, I hope that you find your fated mate at this party. Because if you don't, you will forever lose Father's favor. Just a small advice from your sister.” She said and walked away.
“She's such a terrible bitch. Ugh.” Sophie said angrily.
“Don't let her get to you,” I said and looked away. Suddenly, a very strong scent hit me. “Can you smell that?” I asked and she sniffed the air.
“I don't smell anything. What does it smell like?” She asked.
“Um, like a mixture of Roses and lilies. Just a lovely flowery scent.” I said and looked around. My eyes locked with three people and they all seemed to be looking at me in the same confusion.
Jackson. Elder Widwig's eldest son.
Kerian. Beta Liam's son.
And Robert. The one guy I have had a crush on for a long time, but he never noticed me or gave me a green light. I didn't even know he was back at the Pack and was at this party.
All three of them walked towards me. I stepped back a little trying to understand what kind of weird situation this was. The aroma was So strong it was messing with my thinking and my consciousness. The party seemed to have stopped and the attention shifted to me.
“Mate!” All three of them growled loudly.
What the fuck?! How on earth did the moon goddess mate me to three people?
Daisy Pov“How can she be mated to three different people? Is that even possible? I wasn't even able to find my mate!” Nicole screamed hours after the Party was over.“Are you Jealous? Why are you so pissed at me? Get angry at the moon goddess instead.” I said and she glared at me.“How did that happen?” Father asked.“O,h now you're concerned about what happens to me?” I asked sarcastically. “I have no idea how it happened. It's a lot for me to take in as well.” I said and he nodded. “Which of them are you going to pick?” Father asked. “I'll suggest you pick the Beta's son, Kerian. You have known him for quite a while now and he's from a good family. I will start the preparations for the wedding between you and Kerian.” Father said and I stared at him.“I will pick of my own volition, Alpha Winans,” I said and he looked at me.“What did you say?” He asked.“I will pick of my own choice. And my choice is not Kerian. When I have made a choice, I'll do well to inform you so that you c
Daisy Pov"Something's on your mind. You hardly pick at your food." Robert said as we had Lunch in the office the next day. "Nothing's on my mind. Just exam fever." I said with a small smile and he stared at me."I know you like the back of my hand, Daisy. Something's on your mind. Talk to me. What is it?" He asked and I sighed."You know, I visited Mother yesterday. And she said something that made sense. I've been considering it but I'm also wondering if it's something that's okay by you." I said and he sat up in his chair."What is it about?" He asked."Mother said we should adopt a child. It's been almost two years since we got married. She has a point, however, I'm worried about the strain it'll put on your reputation." I said and he looked at me, then slowly broke into a smile."Adoption would be wonderful, Babe. I approve of it." He said and I sighed in relief."Are you sure it's okay with you? I don't want anything that'll downplay your personality." I said and he held my pal
Daisy Pov "It's lovely to know that you have found out already. You were just the means to an end. Daisy, meet the love of my life, Sophie Williams.” Robert said with a small smile and I staggered back. “What are you saying, Robert? Do you realize what you just said? To my face? I am your freaking wife!” I yelled, angered and hurt. “Only on paper. We are signed as man and wife only on paper. Not once, never did I consider you as my wife. I have only ever loved Sophie. But when I discovered you were my fated mate, I thought what better way to elevate my status than to marry the daughter of the Alpha of the pack? That's how our marriage came to be.” Robert said and I staggered back slightly holding the table behind me for support. “How could you do this to me, Sophie?! You're the only person I trusted after my mother. I took your advice over her own every time. Why would you go all out to hurt me this way?” I asked her, tears running down my eyes. I couldn't believe it. It seemed li
Daisy Pov “You are the devil. I cannot believe that I have been in love with you for such a long time. I am such a fool. How did I protect such an ingrate like you?” I said, my voice suddenly filled with Venom. My eyes must have glowed with anger because Sophie staggered back, and I folded my fist. “I can't stand the sight of both of you. I wish to the moon goddess that you have a fun night. I am so out of here.” I said, grabbing my phone and car keys. I stormed out of the house and entered my car. Without thinking twice, I drove to my Father's house. I walked into the house and my mom saw me. “Daisy. What happened to you? Why do you look so disheveled?” Mom asked as soon as she set eyes on me. Father stared at me from the rim of his glasses. “Robert… Robert has been having an affair with Sophie behind my back. And I just discovered it today. I also discovered that he has a child with Sophie, and that child is Kenneth, my adopted son.” I said emotionlessly. “What! I'm going to mes
Daisy POV Today I opted for a black body hug gown that gave me a sharp edge. My dark blonde hair is parked in an elegant bun. My makeup isn't much, but the little touches on my face make me look pretty younger than my age. As I stared at the mirror, the images of my mother lying weak in the hospital bed flashed through my mind, surging out a new provocative anger in me towards my father. I'm going to meet him now. I need to demand from him why he hadn't taken my mother to the hospital before her sickness worsened, not until now that I have to make sure she was immediately admitted to the hospital. What if I hadn't come? How can a man be so cruel to his wife? My phone peeps, and when I checked through it, there was a message from my secretary informing me that two powerful companies in Arizona are ready to partner with me. All I had to do was to make a choice. If there's one thing that's going perfectly fine in my life, apart from my children, then it's my company. I owned a b
Daisy POVYes, you can call me a fool I don't care, what's most important is that Bella is safe from the shackles of marriage. Now I have to find a way to come out of the problem I put myself in.I went to check on my mother in the hospital, but she was still unconscious. She can only be put on a drip. The doctor told me that no surgery could be done on her until she had regained consciousness. My mother looked dead in the hospital bed she was lying on, but I kept hoping that she would come back to me healthy.As I walk down the hallway of the hospital heading outside, I try not to look too sad, like someone who has all the problems of the world on her shoulder, but the constant reminder of what is awaiting me keeps bothering my mind. I keep thinking of a way to bypass this marriage without putting myself or Bella in a mess.I grunt loudly when I suddenly collide with someone and that was when I knew I wasn't even focused on my way or maybe the person wasn't looking straight ahead too
Daisy POV“Ma, the company is on fire and our system has been hacked into.”“Nooo,” I screamed and jerked up from my sleep, and like a drunkard, I rubbed my sleeping eyes, scrutinized my surroundings, and realized that I was still lying on my bed. Today is Monday and when I check the time it's 7:30 am. I have just 30 minutes to prepare and get to King's Company, where I have been offered a job.Well, you must be wondering why I have to work when I own a company, but something terrible happened.Something I didn't see coming, no one saw it.It wasn't a dream. This was the news I received five days ago, a day after I left my father and told him I wouldn't marry the man he arranged for me. I was called very early the following day by my secretary that my fashion company caught fire and everything burnt down. To worsen the case, the company's financial account was hacked into and all the money was wiped out, so now I'm back to nothing.It's like the Devil was waiting for me at a corner t
Asher POV“Sir… I…please.” She stammered on her words, unable to make meaningful sentences.My eyes scrutinized her from head to toe. She was dressed in an office skirt that stopped at her knees and a white long-sleeve shirt, and her long blonde hair was packed in a bun, revealing her fair neck. She was wearing high heels and overall, she looked adorable and decent.For the first time in a very long time, my wolf was reacting sexually to the presence of a woman, my wolf was howling in my head begging to be set free, begging to be closer to her, but I shut Zander, my wolf off before he could take control and make me do things I never want to.But I can't take the images of five years ago off my mind, maybe because I was too indebted to it or maybe because she was the only woman I have had sex with over the years, but one thing is sure, she's a slut.“Are you married?” I suddenly asked, breaking the silence that surrounded us, and she stared at me with those big eyes, blinking them repe
