ZORDON'S POV"Don't touch me. I can get out of the car myself," I barked at Isla as she struggled to ease me out of the vehicle. I was just happy to be home. I needed to see Daisy.Although Elder Elric had tried to stop me from taking the elixir that would give me back my strength, I took it anyway. He said it would help me regain my strength but when the potion wore off I'd become weak again for a few days, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get back to Daisy and make sure that she was fine. "I'm just trying to help you, Alpha. I still don't believe it was healthy for you to travel back to the pack so soon," she said, and I didn't understand why she was trying to keep me away from my pack. The guards at the gates came to greet me and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. "Tell me what happened?" "OK Alpha, but let's go talk in your office," he bowed. ******I stared at the guard, a cold look on my face. "What do you mean, she's missing?""Alpha the Luna has been miss
DAISY'S POV"You didn't think it was important for me to be found? You really wanted to get rid of me so much?" I felt my wolf struggling to stand, and I was sure she wanted to shift and rip Isla's throat out.My heart was burning in anger as I glared at the so-called beta.I had always known that there was something odd about this woman, but I didn't know that she wanted to get rid of me so badly. She actually said it wasn't important for me to be found. The audacity of this bitch. Zordon walked over to me with joy in his eyes. He grabbed my shoulders, and he stared at me like he was looking at diamonds for the first time. "Are you hurt? Nothing happened to you, right? What took place in the first place? How did you manage to go missing? Tell me all about it and I will make sure the person who did this pay!" Zordon added. I pushed him away from me and focused on Isla, who did not dare to meet my eyes. I wasn't over seeing them all lovey-dovey on the front page of the newspaper.
DAISY'S POVZordon froze. "You don't need to worry about that. Listen to me and let this go. What is important is that you are back. We need to find the person who did this to you and make them pay!" Zordon replied. "You don't need to find anyone. I am well aware of the person who did this to me. I just want to know what's going on," I answered firmly. "Well, if you must know, the Alpha —," Isla began but Zordon cut her off with a snarl. "What did I say about speaking out of terms?" She bowed her head in submission. Zordon faced me. "We ran into a little problem while we were fighting with the rogues. But it wasn't anything significant. I am fine now. You don't have to worry!" Zordon explained. "How can you say that it wasn't a big deal, Alpha? You almost lost your life. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Isla said. I sneered at her. She was sure acting like his wife. "Shut up Isla. Didn't I tell you not to talk about this? Besides let's talk about the things that you
DAISY'S POVMy mind was tired, and my pulse was blinking hard in my veins. I just needed to grab a warm bath and get my bearings right. Without saying another word to Zordon I began to make my way to the door. "Daisy, please wait, let's talk. I understand that you're angry, but we need to get you checked out at the healer," he called after me as I stormed my way into my bedroom.Although he had punished Isla, she had refused to apologize to me. She insisted that I had done something wrong and that I had probably orchestrated the whole kidnapping because I wanted Zordon's attention. I felt insulted that she would even think those things about me. "Look, Daisy. I already punished Isla. What else do you want me to do?" he finally caught up to me and grabbed my arm. "Let go of me. I didn't even do anything wrong. I am the victim here. I was kidnapped for crying out loud. And yet, she is saying that I orchestrated it all because I wanted you to come back? Does she think I am as crazy
KENDRA'S POV“Alpha, we lost her trail a couple of miles from here. We don't know which way she headed. Plus we saw two sets of footprints. One was definitely hers, but we don't know who the other belongs to.”"Where is she? You have to find her. None of you are allowed to come back to this pack if you don't find Daisy. I went through so much to finally get her back and yet, you just let her escape like that? And why the fuck did you come back here just to tell me you lost track of her? I don't care how you do it, but you will find her or your families will have bodies to bury.”I watched with a cold smirk on my face as Dexter yelled at the guards, barking for them to go find Daisy. The guards were tired and hungry, I could see it in their faces. But their Alpha didn't care about that. All he cared about was Daisy. Dexter began to throw one of his tantrums and his already exhausted guards tried desperately to make him stop destroying the entire study, but none of them could get close
DAISY'S POVZordon was shaking his head, thinking over my words. "Isla has never felt like she had any competition when it came to your affection for her but now that I am your Luna she realizes she may not have a chance anymore, and she wants to get rid of me,” I tried to explain to him. However, he just shook his head with a smile on his face. He was obviously not willing to believe my words. "No, I don't think it's true. Look, I get that you don't like Isla and I don't blame you for that. She was rude and unfair to you. I am going to do my best so that you don't have to run into her often, but you can't keep saying things like this. Isla doesn't have any feelings for me, and she wouldn't do this to me." I was so angry that I laughed. I wanted to explain to Zordon that he was a man and that he would never understand the feelings of a woman the way another woman would, but I suddenly felt drained. Why did I need to work so hard to convince him that Isla was a bad person? He wou
DAISY'S POV"Do you really intend to stand out there for the rest of the day?" Zordon's voice startled me.I could already imagine the cocky grin across his face and his daunting, teasing eyes. I shook my head in admiration and silliness, both at the same time. The more time that I spent with him, the more I got to find out that he was nothing like the rumours that I had heard. Yes, he was disciplined and firm, but he was also a lovable soul, and this made me wonder why the world didn't know about this side of him. I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head and I opened the door. He looked up from the folder he was reading and stared at me."You have that look in your eyes," he told to me, returning his attention to the folder."What look?" I asked innocently."The one that you always get when you have something worrying about," he responded to me, flipping through the pages of the folder."I don't have any look, and there is nothing bothering me. I just came to check in on you," I
ZORDON'S POVDaisy turned and stormed out of the office, and all I could do was stare at her. She was the most stubborn person that I had met. Her zeal and resilience were admirable. She was bold, courageous, and confident. To top it all off, she had a heart of gold. At first, I was worried that she would never accept my wolves as her people, but here she was, upset that I wasn't letting her protect them. I smiled to myself, wondering how I was lucky enough to have her on my side. She was everything I hoped for and dreamed of. I closed my laptop and leaned back in my chair. She was so worried that I didn't see her as worthy, but she was more than worthy. She was everything to me, and I didn't know how to tell her. I was scared of being too vulnerable with her. I hadn't been vulnerable with anybody ever since my parents died. There was no way I could trust anybody after what my parents had gone through. That was one way she was a better person than me. She knew how to forgive, and
DAISY'S POVA few nights later, the palace felt almost too quiet.Just the hush that comes when everyone else has gone to sleep, and you're left alone with your thoughts.Zordon lay beside me, already half-asleep. One arm was draped across me and our son, the weight of his hand warm and steady. He always slept that way now. Like he thought he could protect the baby even in dreams.I wasn't tired. Or maybe I was, but the exhaustion felt too big to settle. Like my body didn't know how to turn off yet. My brain kept replaying the day on a loop, our vows, the sound of the crowd, the gold circlet still pressing faintly into my forehead like it had left a mark.A crown. A child. A future I could barely begin to understand.Eventually, I drifted off. Not gradually. It was more like falling, like one blink and the world shifted beneath me.******I was standing in a field I'd never seen before.Moonlight poured from the sky like rain, so bright and clean it made everything shimmer. The grass
DAISY'S POVThe forest had changed since the war, but only just.New green pushed up through old ash. Flowers bloomed where fire once scorched the earth. Trees whispered again, not in warning, just in welcome.Zordon and I walked hand in hand along the narrow path, the one we'd taken long ago when everything between us had been tension and doubt. Back then, I wasn't sure I believed in fate. I wasn't sure I believed in us.Now?His hand was warm in mine, steady and strong. My feet moved slower than they used to thanks to the weight I carried, but I didn't mind. The baby kicked every so often, reminding me that time was short. That soon, we'd be three."You're quiet," Zordon said softly, brushing a low-hanging branch out of my way."I'm thinking.""Dangerous."I gave him a sideways look, but I smiled. "What will we name him?"He paused. "I don't know. I thought you should do the honors, since you are the one who will birth him.""I see," I said, exhaling.The wind stirred through the le
DAISY'S POVThree days after Zordon proposed, I stood at the edge of Mooncliff Summit, dressed in white and shaking in my boots.Well, technically I was barefoot. The seamstress had tried heels, but I had nearly broken my ankle so we settled on soft, woven sandals that I'd kicked off somewhere near the top of the cliff. My feet pressed into the warm stone now, grounding me in a way nothing else could.I kept my hands over my belly, partly out of instinct, partly because it helped me breathe. The baby was quiet this morning. Still and peaceful. Maybe he sensed the magnitude of today. Maybe he was waiting, just like the rest of the world.Thousands had gathered below. Wolves from every surviving pack. Elders. Witches. Seers. Even some humans who knew of our existence. People who had once hated each other now stood side by side. I wasn't sure if it was unity or just exhaustion, but either way, they came.They came to see us.To see me.I still couldn't wrap my head around it.Zordon stoo
DAISY'S POVThe morning after Luna Evelyn's visit arrived with golden sunlight and the smell of cinnamon drifting through the air.Zordon had already left the bed by the time I woke up. I stretched, my hand resting lightly on the curve of my belly. A quiet flutter reminded me that our little one was growing stronger every day.Slipping on a robe, I padded into the sunroom and stopped in my tracks.Zordon was there and he was shirtless, barefoot, and standing over a small table set for two on the balcony. Steam curled from two mugs. Plates of fruit, eggs, fresh bread, and that cinnamon I'd smelled were perfectly arranged. Wildflowers in a simple jar sat in the center."You cooked?" I asked, blinking in surprise.He shrugged. "I bribed someone to help. But I did stir the eggs."I laughed and moved toward him, kissing his cheek before sitting down.We ate slowly, talking about everything and nothing. For a while, it was just us again. No Luna Evelyn. No war. No titles."Come take a walk
DAISY'S POVTwo months had passed since the war ended, yet the air still carried the scent of smoke and death.We had won. The bloodshed was over. But peace wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be. It pulsed beneath the surface like the earth was still bracing for another storm.Dexter's trial had finally ended. He sat alone in the depths of Pine Hollow, sealed away in a cell built for the worst of our kind. Silver-lined walls, enchanted locks, constant guard rotations. But the Council and the Pinewood people had chosen something far worse than death for him.He had been stripped of his wolf.The bond to the moon, the magic in his blood, the power that once made him Alpha, it was all gone. Just like that. No more shifting. No more heightened senses. No more pack. They carved the beast out of him and left only a man behind.And his sentence? To live as the man he truly was. Weak and cruel and hollow. Then I topped off his sentence by sending him to work in the very barracks he once se
DAISY'S POV"She wasn't supposed to die for you!" Xavier kept grunting. "Godfrey was going to win. He had already won. I thought he would finally give me her hand in marriage if I stood with him. I thought if I protected his plan, he'd give her to me.""She wasn't a thing to be given," Zordon growled."Either way, she's gone," Xavier whispered, crumbling over Kendra like a man finally realizing he was hollow inside. Xavier looked up at Zordon with wild eyes. "She didn't even know I was her true mate."I stepped forward but didn't speak. What could I say to a man who seemed like he had lost the only thing that mattered to him?I was bracing for him to go berserk and strike, but then, behind him, a strange sound caught my attention. Branches were cracking, and I also heard careful steps punching into the soft earth.We turned and saw Dexter emerging from the shadows.His armour was clean. It had no bloodstains, dirt, or sweat marks. He stood tall, refusing to fade into the background. H
DAISY'S POVZordon was in wolf form, and his eyes were locked onto Jezebel. She raised her staff again."You'll never win," she hissed as Zordon stalked forward, his growl low and feral. "Your mate will fall. Your child will belong to—"She didn't finish.With a roar that split the air, Zordon lunged. His massive jaws clamped around her throat, silencing her forever. Jezebel's eyes went wide, her staff falling from her hands, and then I heard a crack as Zordon ripped her apart. Blood sprayed the ground. The dark witch who had haunted so many dreams lay limp and lifeless, her neck crushed between the teeth of a king.‘Nice bite,’ I whispered through the link, and Zordon growled in reply.From the left, I caught movement as Dustin and Olivia stood side by side, their furs soaked in blood and ash.‘Olivia!’ Dustin shouted through the packlink. It felt good to have had him join our pack. ‘If we survive this, you wanna go out with me? His wolf bit off another wolf's right paw.’She spun, c
DAISY'S POVAlpha Godfrey was standing there, looking at me through marble-black eyes that shone like laser beams.My claws stayed out, my body ready to strike, but something inside me needed to know.I took a slow step forward, my voice steady despite the storm churning in my chest."Why?" I asked him. "Why are you doing this?"Godfrey didn't answer right away. He studied me with his dark and ancient eyes, like they'd seen too many winters and too much blood. He looked at me the way someone might look at an insect they couldn't quite squash, curious, detached, and completely without mercy."It's nothing personal, child," he said finally, his voice low and almost... kind. "It never was."My jaw clenched. "You're trying to kill me and take my child, and you think that's not personal?"He gave a small, cold smile. "Well, you're at war with mine, and I'm not taking it personal." He casually gestured to Kendra. A low chuckle spilled from his chest. His gaze slowly crawled to my belly, and
DAISY'S POVZordon didn't wait.He charged forward with a growl that sent a shiver through the ground. His body twisted midair, fur ripping through skin, bones reshaping as he shifted faster than I'd ever seen. When he landed, the black wolf that emerged was massive, terrifying, and entirely focused on blood.Isla was right behind him. Her armor clanged to the ground as her body folded into itself, reshaping. Grey fur that seemed silver at first glance bloomed across her back. She hit the dirt running, a flash of steel and teeth.Then Stefan. He let out something between a battle cry and a roar as he leapt, his russet form exploding forward, golden streaks lighting his fur as he collided with a corrupted wolf mid-sprint.Just like that, the front line was chaos.Wolves clashed. Witches shouted spells. Steel met shadow, and blood sprayed into the night air.But I hadn't moved.I stood there, heart pounding, breath caught in my throat.She was awake.My wolf.For the first time in years
