Daciana's P.O.V

Exploring the village a second time with Amelia gave me deja vu of the old woman and her crumbling relic store. It was strange to be back in the midst of people. They kept their distance and stared at us like some virus roaming their streets.

Amelia didn't seem bothered. She was excited to finally be somewhere peaceful enough to let her be a child once more. A place where she could be free to play around all day and night.

While we walked down to Adam's home, a boy just around Amelia’s age or a year older approached us and stretched out a hand to her.

“Hi… I'm Silver.” He smiled, rocking forward and backwards slightly on his feet.

Amelia looked back at me, like she needed my approval before saying a word. I smiled at her and she quickly spun around to Silver and shook his hand.

“I'm Amelia.”

“You're new here. I haven't seen you before,” said Silver. His smile widened as he studied Amelia curiously.

“Yes. I just arrived a few days ago,” Amelia responded.

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 37 - Your Origin

    Daciana's P.O.V You'd expect that after being kidnapped so many times, I’d be used to the darkness by now. But I wasn’t. It still unsettled me. I could smell the people around me. Three humans and two rogues. All of them strangers. All of them enemies. They led me through a rocky path, my hands tied firmly in front of me, and a rope nudging me forward each time I slowed down, like I was some disobedient horse being led to a stream. We passed a waterfall a few steps back. I hadn’t seen it with my blindfold on, but I heard it. The sound of water crashing heavily onto the rocks nearby and splattering on us as we passed by. The sound of chirping birds told me it was morning, and my feet hurt from walking through what felt like an endless night. I stopped to rest my legs, but the rope yanked me forward, causing me to stumble as I struggled to find my balance on the rocky steep path we trenched. “No one said you could rest, Demon. Move faster,” a brute voice said as he shoved me to

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 36 - Lyra's Betrayal

    Milton's P.O.VEach step I took felt like I was dragging a mountain behind me. My head was heavy, my eyes barely able to register the path I'd trailed, but I kept moving forward.The village entrance came into view, and I saw two patrol guards standing watch at the gates. I stumbled down on one knee and their head spun towards me.“Alpha!” One of them called and they rushed to my side.They slid my hands over their shoulders and helped me up on my feet.“Find Adam,” I instructed them. “We have a crisis.”They led me to the house and I could barely make out the surprised faces we passed on our way. The night's celebrations had died down, and only a few elderly pack members were up and about, cleaning and preparing for the next day.Arriving at the house, I dropped into the nearest chair before my legs completely gave out. Adam was the first to arrive at the house. I could feel his eyes scanning me, the words he wanted to say hanging on the tip of his lips, but he stayed quiet.Robert a

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 35 - Your Lips Taste Better...

    Milton's P.O.V Ideally, Lyra and I should have been out in the village, celebrating with the people as they prepared for the moon festival, but everyone one of us knew it was a bad idea. I still wasn't comfortable with the idea of getting married to her a few days from now, and all my efforts to call off the engagement yielded no results. Davies and Robert decided it was best to leave us alone in the house to smooth things out, but it wasn't working. We sat on opposite couches in the living room, facing each other. The awkward silence between us stretched beyond the horizon, and neither one of us seemed willing to utter a word. Lyra loved to chatter, so seeing her sit perfectly still and silent felt wrong. Frightening even. But each time I tried to say something, anything at all, just to make her leave the room, nothing came forward. She looked at me, and finally, she broke the silence. “You don't want to marry me?” She asked, but it sounded more like a statement. “Who said I d

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 34 - You Have Beautiful Eyes

    Daciana's P.O.V It was almost nightfall when Adam and I returned to the pack. There was a huge bonfire at the center of the village, and a crowd gathered round the fire, telling stories and chatting with one another. “We do that every year before the Full Moon Festival,” Adam whispered as I watched how happy their people were. “Why?” “I don't know,” he laughed softly. “It's a tradition I grew up to know. I've never really asked why we do it, but it's always fun. I can take you around.” He offered. I looked towards the Alpha's mansion and scoffed at the thought of seeing Milton and Lyra. “How about Amelia?” I asked Adam, recalling that I left her all alone since storming out on breakfast. “I can arrange for a guard to bring her to my house. You both can stay there until things with Milton boil over.” I nodded, and Adam immediately signaled for a guard. He gave him instructions concerning Amelia and also Cercei, and the guard hurriedly left to do what Adam had asked of him. Adam

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 33 - Who You Are

    Daciana’s P.O.VAdam sat with me at the edge of the pool, our feet gently kicking against the rippling surface of the waters as we stared into the horizon. The sun was well above us now, and the birds which I had scared off when I screamed had slowly begun to return to their nests up in the trees.There was a deer right across the pool from us. It paid us no attention, focused solely on having its fill of water. But each time it had a tree branch snap, it would raise its head and stare at us, watching to know if we were a danger to its peaceful life, until it turned and trotted back into the shadows of the forest.“Maybe I should have struck it down,” Adam said regretfully as we watched the deer leave.I jabbed his side with my elbow and laughed softly. “Why would you say that?” I asked, leaning back with my palms pressed against the ground to hold me up.“Have you ever eaten Venison?” He responded with a question of his own.I paused and looked at him. “You don’t know what it is, do

  • The Alpha's Daughter   Chapter 32 - Embrace

    Daciana's P.O.VThe Moon Festival, and Milton’s wedding ceremony were only days away. The pack was excited, with everyone, young and old eagerly partaking in the preparations.The courtyard of Milton’s house was unusually busy by this time of the morning. The flowers were being trimmed, while the lawn hummed with the sound of mowers shaping it into perfection.Amelia and I didn’t belong here. We were guests, outsiders only tolerated because the Alpha had taken a liking to us. But with his wedding soon, it wouldn't be long before the elders reminded him–subtly or otherwise–that my presence wasn’t welcome, and I had to leave.Standing over the chaos by the balcony’s edge, I quietly watched as everyone went about their designated duties. I didn’t make a sound. I was too afraid of the condescending stares and whispers I’d get if the villagers saw me“Ciana?” A little voice called out to me, soft footsteps approaching from behind me.“Amelia. I didn’t know you were awake,” I smiled, and hu
