LOGINDAISYMy body ached so badly, and it felt like it was on fire, as though flames were licking every tissue and flesh in my body. What was happening? I slowly opened my eyes to see white walls surrounding me. A doctor and three nurses were also by my side.My eyes squinted. What happened? Why was I in the hospital? What...Then I remembered. I was in the woods, following the map that led to the location Jadis had pointed out when I felt a sudden prick in my neck. The next thing I knew, I had blacked out. When I woke up, I was in the cave with three men, all arguing about who would go inside me first. They had been paid to kill me but didn’t want my body to go to waste, so they wanted to take turns raping me first.The thought of that caused bile to rise up my throat.When I listened to their disgusting arguments, a form of rage I didn’t know I was capable of harboring stormed within me. And... the memory was vague. But I remembered lighting my finger on fire. I remember how terrified al
GIDEONFire magic was a very dangerous magic, and it was forbidden and rare among witches. Daisy wielded such magic easily even in her condition.“Who set the cave on fire?” Emmett asked in perplexity.“Me,” I groaned without hesitation to protect my mate. If word got out that Daisy possessed fire magic, then many would be afraid of her. It was enough that she was being stigmatized as a hybrid.“You?” Emmett asked.“Yes. I had an explosive with me, and I threw it at those who kidnapped her and tried to kill her,” I groaned. “Clear the way. I need to get my mate to safety.”I rushed out of the woods with Daisy in my hands. I didn’t care if I was naked, I just needed to keep her alive.Emmett led us to the pack hospital, where the doctor attended to her.A nurse approached me with a towel. “Here, Alpha.”I took it without hesitation and wrapped it around me.“We’ll check the area for more intruders. Such a cruel act had to have been carried out by intruders and not members of my pack. N
GIDEON The silver shoe she had worn was somewhere in the woods. Upon seeing it, my heart hammered against my chest. Gabriel or someone else had taken her. My chest became filled with regret. I shouldn’t have allowed her to go into the woods alone. I should have insisted on following her. My head became hot and I couldn’t even think properly. I rushed out of the woods and into the hall. I found Violet hanging around the food stall and approached her. “What happened?” she quickly asked, worried. “Where is Alpha Axel?” I asked her. “He’s with Emmet somewhere. What happened?” she asked. “Daisy. She has been taken. We need to find her.” “What?” her eyes widened with shock and fear. “By who? How?” “My suspicion is Gabriel. He is the only one with that motive that I know of. I have to go find Axel and Emmet,” I said as I turned around and rushed to the backroom. I moved towards the room Emmet had taken me to. I could hear Violet hurrying behind me. I pushed the door open and barged
DAISYThe map was on my phone, so I walked into the woods with my phone out as it led me in the direction Jadis had told us she saw the large wolfsbane farm. Everywhere was dark and quiet as everyone was at the birthday party right now.“Are you good?” Gideon’s voice came through the mind-link.“Yes, I am. Trying to locate the place,” I responded.“Alright. Please hurry up. I know you are powerful, but please be careful,” he told me.“I will be. Thank you,” I responded and ended the mind-link.I continued walking through the woods towards the west border where the map was leading me. My dress was dragging along the floor and I had to pack it in my hand to move easily. It was then I regretted not wearing something extra simple.Suddenly, I heard the sound of a twig snapping and I paused immediately.“Who is there?” I called out as I turned back, but before I could process anything, I felt a sharp pain in my neck.Before I could even neutralize the effect with my magic, the poison had t
DAISYI was dressed in a deep plum satin midi dress with a plunging V-neckline, fitted waist, and flowy skirt, accented by delicate shoulder tie straps. My hair was packed in a loose bun. Gideon wore a black suit set, a white dress shirt, a black tie, and black shoes.“You look beautiful. As always,” he whispered into my ear as we both stared at our reflection in the mirror.He stood behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist.“You also look breathtaking. As always,” I returned the compliment.“Not as beautiful as you, though,” he muttered, and I let out a little laugh.“I’m never going to win against you, am I?”“Never,” he leaned in and placed a kiss on my shoulder blade.As I continued staring at myself, I felt something was missing. Something to finish up the look.A necklace, I said to myself. I walked towards the jewelry drawer and scanned through the necklaces. My eyes caught the diamond necklace Jadis had gifted me.Using it wouldn’t be a bad idea, I thought as I picked it up
DAISYWe all turned our heads towards Lila, wondering what Axel meant.“Me?” Lila tilted her head to the side.“Yes, you. I forced my way into his head, and he was thinking about a redhead,” Axel explained.“And you automatically assume that that was me?”“You are the only redhead that I know that’s associated with him.”“Exactly. That you know. If you are worried about me being a betrayer, I would not defend myself. But I’d rather side with Gabriel’s enemy than side with him. I want him gone as much as you all want him to. And I am tired of being the center of your suspicions all the time. You’ve shown me time without a number that I do not belong here. I’m out,” the rage in her voice was volatile. Before anyone could say anything, she disappeared.“Wow,” Mother breathed, then turned her gaze at Axel. “Did you really see a redhead in his head?”Axel nodded in response.“She’s telling the truth. It wasn’t her,” Mother said.“Then who is it?” Axel wondered out loud.“Was this person a
VIOLETWithout hesitation, I stood up and offered Daisy’s mom a smile. “Thank you very much for the ice cream, but I have to go now.”“Why?” She raised a brow. “Is it because I brought the bodyguards here that you want to go away from me?”I quickly shook my head. “No. I have to go to the library
VIOLET“Mom,” Daisy called, surprised. “What are you doing here?”“Don’t counter my question with another. What is happening here?” Daisy’s mom asked sternly.I quickly stepped forward. “I am sorry, it’s my fault. Daisy was only trying to protect me from...” I glared at Emmett. “Him.”She raised a
AXEL I relished making these players question their decision to join the lacrosse team almost as much as I enjoyed entertaining Violet with my dribbling skills. After maneuvering past six opponents in quick succession, I turned to look at her, ready to boast, when I noticed Zara speaking to her. A
VIOLETMy heart beat erratically against my chest as the bangs on the door continued. I could’ve simply pretended that I wasn’t in here and stayed quiet, but my father would knock down that door if I didn’t open it now.Letting out a sharp, nervous breath, I rushed to the door and pulled it open.
