LOGINDearest Readers, Thank you all for coming to the end of this journey with me. Writing the epilogues felt bittersweet and I know saying goodbye to Daisy, Liam, and everyone in this world has been emotional, especially for me, but knowing that you all have been part of their journey makes the farewell all worth it. This story taught me that true strength is not about never falling, rather it is about rising again. It’s about choosing forgiveness even when it's hard. It's about building a life worth living and surrounded by people who truly love you. That is the greatest revenge. Thank you for being kind, patient, and for loving these characters as much as I do. Your love, support, and belief in this story have meant everything to me and I am deeply grateful. Thank you for allowing me share this world with you, and I can only hope that Daisy's story will always remind you of your own resilience and the power living inside you. Till we meet again, Lora Ashley❣️
ONE YEAR LATER…DAISYStanding on the balcony of our family quarters in the palace, I close my eyes and take in a deep breath, allowing myself to enjoy the soft afternoon breeze whipping through my hair.Life has been so good.I open my eyes and look down at my darling daughter, my angel who is cradled in my arms.Hope Beatrice Kingston.She is sleeping peacefully, her little chest rising and falling calmly with every breath she takes. Every now and then, she makes a tiny sigh in her sleep, including some little leg kicks that obviously means she is enjoying her nap.Right now, she is doing the leg kick again.I smile, adjusting her baby blanket around her. She makes another little sigh again in her sleep and I kiss her forehead, breathing in her sweet baby smell mixed with the faint lavender from her blanket.At one year old, she is already the light of our world. Sighing, I avert my eyes from her, another soft breeze whipping through my hair as I stare at the hills and distant fore
DAISY As the evening deepens, we move to a private dining restaurant for a celebration dinner proudly sponsored by James who suddenly declared that his mother is hosting us there and would love to meet his friends.On arrival, we are welcomed into the venue and it doesn't take us long to meet James’s mother at a reserved table set with soft lights and flowers for all of us.“Guys, meet my darling mum,” James introduces her to us and pecks her on the cheek.Honestly, she is a beauty. She welcomes us warmly, her smooth skin and vibrant green eyes making her look less than her age. Her blond hair is pulled up in a sleek updo, and her black dinner dress looks so elegant and classy on her.After this dinner, maybe I can steal some skincare tips and fashion advice from her.Next, we all settle down and food is served. Plates of my favorite safe foods are brought out: grilled fish, vegetables, fresh bread, and fruit tarts.After the last meal is served, we all start eating.Our laughter an
DAISYMonths have passed since that quiet moment in the dungeons with Louise.Time moved slowly at first, like a river finding its new path after a storm.But now, it feels steadier.I am back at the Lycan Royal Academy for my final semester, walking the hallway with Liam and a much bigger belly. I am six months pregnant.The round curve under my clothes is impossible to hide and I do not want to hide it. Regarding my pregnancy, the academy board held a private meeting some months back and after all the push and pull they had with me, they agreed to allow me finish my studies on the grounds that I don't slack behind just because I am pregnant.Also, no preferential treatments.Honestly, I was grateful to them and I still am. Being a pregnant student got me mixed reactions from other students, especially now that my belly is grown, but I am used to it now and even this morning on my way to class, I experienced the same lingering stares from the other students just like always, but I k
DAISY The celebration goes on for a while after I return to my seat. We eat a little, talk with a few elders about new plans for the pack, and then I let the children give me their flowers.Truthfully, I feel very happy.But for some sick reason, my mind suddenly drifts to the one person I really don't want to think about right now.Louise.Today, she could have been here with us if she had chosen the right path.But she didn't.Weirdly, I feel like visiting her after all this.But right now, I push the thought away and keep my mouth closed, not wanting to be distracted.About a few hours later, the celebration gradually starts coming to an end and eventually, it finally ends after my dad's closing speech.When everyone disperses after congratulating me once again, I wait them out until they are all gone. Liam is with me downstairs, helping me tend to a few things with the servants. The evening sun is already starting to lower and the sight of it over there at the horizon looks so be
ONE WEEK LATER… DAISY I wake up in Liam’s arms, the morning sunlight streaming through the windows and spreading all over me. For the first time in a long time, I am not feeling tense or expecting bad news. Clarissa’s execution happened at dawn the day after her judgment. The silver injection was slow and so painful, and I watched as she writhed in agony before she died without anyone to comfort her. I still adore Magistrate Iris for meting out that punishment to her because that wicked woman deserved it and more. Even though I felt nothing when she died, knowing that she has finally been punished for her sins has brought me peace. And thank the goddess, that chapter has been closed forever. That aside, Louise and Yvonne are still in the dungeons, serving their sentences with no chance of early freedom. As for Bryson, that bastard is out there somewhere, though he is now a wanted man because King Matthias has nearly all the royal guards hunting him across every pack. As for Lia
DAISYStill in their arms, I breathe out, drawing strength from their words.“Guys, do you think I’m crazy for even considering keeping this baby?” I ask.“I think you’re brave,” Ria says.“Me too, and I think you will be an incredible mother when the time comes.” Suzy adds.“Really?”“Yes,” she no
FIVE DAYS LATER…DAISY“This place is so beautiful,” Suzy gushes, her eyes wide behind her glasses. She is wearing an emerald green gown that brings out the delicate curves of her body, her hair swept up in an elegant twist.“I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s like a fairy tale,” Ria agrees,
LOUISE I blink. “The what?”“The Royale Gala,” she repeats and stands up. She walks back to her dresser, pulls out a drawer, and dips her hand inside.When her hand emerges, I see an elegant cream colored envelope embossed with a royal seal. A royal seal that I instantly recognize to be the seal o
DAISYHe smiles at my challenge. “Gladly.”Without hesitation, he swings first, testing me with a quick jab towards my face. Already expecting that, I easily dodge the move by stepping inside his guard.His eyes widen slightly, surprised that I stepped into his covering instead of retreating. Quick
