LOGINDAISYGabriel had managed to dodge, and the fire dispersed into the air. “Daisy!” Mother screamed in panic, “why did you do that?”“Reveal yourself, Gabriel!” I growled.“Gabriel?” her eyes widened in shock as she flicked her gaze at the man standing before us.We had planned to use the illusion magic on him, but he was also good at it. What couldn’t this man do? He was so evil and powerful.“My name is Amos. Not Gabriel,” he muttered. I didn’t miss the faint smirk on his lips. “Perhaps, your loss of control is causing hallucinations.”“Do not try to gaslight me!” I growled as another ball of fire formed on my fingertips and I blasted him with it. Yet again, he dodged.“Daisy,” my mother called, “are you sure?”“One hundred percent,” I responded.“You want to trust a witch who has lost control?” Gabriel, who was in Amos’ skin, chuckled darkly. Even that chuckle carried something familiar, something unmistakably like Gabriel. “We need to knock her unconscious before she burns the enti
DAISYThe moment I shifted, using the illusion magic, I felt a surge of power. I couldn’t even last a minute there before I ran off. I could barely control myself, and I could feel my magic getting out of control. The moment I got to the bedroom, I shifted to my human form, hoping I would be able to control the magic now. Little did I know that would make it even worse.The moment I shifted, a surge of energy radiated to my fingertips, turning into fire. Tears filled my eyes as I tried desperately to control it from hitting anything. I didn’t want to set the pack house on fire. I was still trying to control it when the door suddenly opened. I flipped around instinctively, blasting the ball of fire I had been trying so hard to keep in check towards the door. I had already done it before I even realized what I did. I had blasted it at Gideon.Thankfully, he swiftly dodged it. The fire hit the wall opposite the room and died down immediately, creating a dark mark on the spot it hit.“Dai
GIDEONUpon our arrival back at the pack, we met the pack members protesting outside the pack house, rejecting the idea of Daisy being the Luna. The first time that happened, it was because they thought I had forcefully taken her from Aldric. I wondered what it was this time. Why couldn’t they just accept her? I mind-linked my father. “Where are you? Have you addressed them? What do they say they want?”“Ah. You are back. How is Daisy? I have been in my room all day. I haven’t addressed them. I don’t know how to respond to them. Their complaint is that they do not want a woman who cannot shift as their Luna,” Father responded. “But she can shift,” I groaned.“They don’t know that. They believe her witch side had suppressed that ability as no one had ever seen her wolf,” he replied.“They cannot see her wolf. It has to remain a secret. If not, we will not only be protecting her from Gabriel,” I sighed exhaustingly, “I know what to do. I’ll go and address them now.”“Well, good luck.
DAISYI would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared of myself. The shape of the crescent and fire on my back signified something dangerous. I didn’t know the extent of the danger, but I could feel it burning inside me. It was only a matter of time before it exploded. And if bringing Gabriel down was the last thing I ever did, then I would gladly do it. “What do you mean?” Gideon asked, his gaze fixed on Mother. “You said you would explain it to me the next time we met.” “Crescent. Fire. Like I said, each symbol belongs to the different entities that embody her being. The shape of the crescent on her back might signify that she’s a mother wolf.” She paused briefly before continuing carefully. “While the fire...” she took another deep breath, “the fire goddess.” “No fire goddess has ever been known to make it to old age,” Mother continued quietly. “The fire always destroyed them from the inside out. So she isn’t simply a fire bender.” Her eyes settled on me. “She is the fire.” A cold
GIDEONHer question had taken me aback, which was why I went quiet for a moment. She seemed to be doubting my love for her, and that bothered me. Never in a million years would I stop loving her. Witch or not. Fire bender or not. I loved her and everything that came with that.“Daisy,” I held her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, “please, don’t ever think for a second that I would love you any less. You are my everything, and no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side. Hell, I would even lay down my life for you.” “No,” she shook her head immediately, tears brimming in her eyes, “you shouldn’t do that. You shouldn’t love me more than you love yourself.”I slowly shook my head. “I cannot help it. It isn’t within my control. You are like the air I breathe. I love you so much, Daisy. Always and forever.” Tears ran down her face, a small smile touching her lips. “I love you more.”“You know that’s impossible,” I groaned in response.Before she could reply, the door pu
DAISYMy 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
