Daisy

Waiting was a cruel thing and the longer I waited for Caspian to come home, the more impossible it became to sit still.

I'd tried.

I'd curled up on the sofa with a book I'd barely managed to read a single page of. I'd wandered through the gardens until every flower seemed to blur together. I'd even attempted embroidery before pricking my finger twice and giving up altogether.

Nothing helped.

My thoughts refused to stay anywhere except with him. The grandfather clock in the hallway chi

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Fifty Two

    Daisy The Lunar Moon Festival arrived beneath a sky so clear it almost hurt to look at. From my bedroom window, I watched servants hurry across the courtyard carrying lanterns carved from silver glass, their warm light already beginning to glow as twilight settled over the estate. Long banners stirred in the evening breeze, and somewhere below, drums began their slow, rhythmic beat. It sounded like a celebration, but for me, it sounded like a countdown. I stood in the center of my room while the maid finished fastening the final clasp at the back of my gown. "There," she said with a satisfied smile. "You look beautiful." “I know.” I managed the faintest smile in return. "Thank you." She curtsied before quietly letting herself out, leaving me alone with my reflection. The woman in the mirror wore a floor-length gown of deep midnight blue. Delicate silver embroidery shimmered across the bodice, catching the candlelight with every breath I took. I looked elegant and graceful,

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Fifty One

    Daisy I didn't remember leaving the corridor.One moment I had been standing there, listening to the man I loved agree to marry another woman, and the next I was closing the bedroom door behind me with hands so steady they frightened me.The click of the lock echoed through the room and I leaned against the door and waited, nothing happened.I didn't shed any tears and no sobs clawed their way out of my chest. My heart still hurt, but it felt strangely distant, as though the pain belonged to someone else.Maybe I'd finally run out of tears, maybe there was simply nothing left to break or maybe I'd finally accepted my fate. I stared across the room until my eyes landed on the wardrobe. A few days ago I would have climbed into bed and cried until morning, but tonight, I walked to the wardrobe and opened it.The hinges gave a quiet groan as rows of beautiful dresses greeted me, each one chosen for dinners, ceremonies, and appearances I never truly wanted to attend.My fingers brushe

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Fifty

    Caspian The silence in my study was heavy, weighted with the scent of old paper, leather, and the quiet, dangerous hum of a trap being set.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the sealed letter on my desk. Professor Hawthorne had sent word earlier that morning through an encrypted courier. The final legal amendment regarding the betrothal contract’s loopholes was almost complete. It would render the mandatory agreement with Yvie’s family entirely null and void.Pairing that legal weapon with the chemical report proving Daisy and Octavian had been drugged would blow Lady Zara’s plans to dust. I had the poison report locked in my safe, but timing was everything. If I exposed the sabotage too early, whoever was in charge of it would scrub their tracks, destroy evidence, or push Zara into an immediate political counter-strike before the legal amendment was officially signed.I had to play the patient predator. I had to let them think they were winning, right up until the moment I s

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Forty Nine

    Daisy My feet moved, but I couldn't feel the stone beneath my shoes.I didn't remember walking back down the long, dimly lit corridor that led away from the balcony. I didn't remember descending the carpeted steps or stepping back through the high archway into the grand ballroom. All I knew was that the air inside was thick, suffocating, and reeking of expensive perfume and aged wine.The party was still going on. Laughter echoed off the gilded ceiling, glasses clinked as couples swayed to the slow, elegant sweep of the orchestra.It was utterly surreal and even more beautiful than when I'd left. The world had just ended on a cold stone balcony, yet here, nobody had even noticed the sky falling.I stood near the edge of the room, my body completely numb, digging my fingers so hard into my palms that it made crescents across my skin. For months, I had lived in this estate believing I was surrounded by complicated people, flawed people, people who cared about me in their own secr

    Daisy Fifteen minutes had never lasted so long.I stood alone in a corner in the sitting room, while the rest of the party went on with a glitch,the folded note clutched so tightly in my hand that the edges had begun to crease.Balcony. Fifteen minutes. — CI had read those words so many times they no longer looked real.My heart refused to settle and every possibility chased the next until I couldn't tell which frightened me more.Did he know? Had he finally discovered the truth? Was he going to apologize? Or was this his way of ending everything? Maybe he wanted to tell me, privately, that the engagement would go ahead. Maybe he wanted to ask me to leave quietly. Maybe he had seen me standing there while Yvie kissed him.The memory made my chest tighten all over again and I squeezed my eyes shut."No," I whispered to myself.Whatever happened tonight, I couldn't keep hiding anymore. Not after everything, not after the clinic and especially not after hearing my baby's heartbeat

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Forty Seven

    Daisy The music started before sunset.It was soft at first, drifting through the open windows like a warning I didn't want to hear. Violins, laughter and the distant clink of crystal carried through the estate until there was no pretending today was anything ordinary.A celebration, but not just any celebration.The celebration.I stood in front of the mirror while one of the maids fastened the last button on the back of my dress."You look lovely, Miss Daisy."I almost laughed.Lovely.There wasn't a single lovely thing about tonight. When she finished, I thanked her quietly and waited until the door closed behind her before looking at my reflection again.The woman staring back at me looked nothing like I felt.My smile was gone and the shadows beneath my eyes refused to disappear.One hand drifted unconsciously toward my stomach before I caught myself and lowered it again."We'll get through this," I whispered.Whether I believed it or not didn't matter anymore, I had to.The

    Caspian The second Daisy’s pain spiked through the bond, I knew something was wrong. It wasn't anger, nor was it the usual heat and chaos that always erupted between us whenever we got too close.This was different, this felt like something breaking.I straightened abruptly from the desk in my

    Caspian The second Daisy stepped into the study, everything changed, and the women noticed immediately.The one perched against the edge of my desk pulled her hand away from my chest like she’d suddenly realized she was touching something dangerous. Another straightened slowly beside me, her ex

    Daisy I couldn’t stop thinking about the kitchen.No matter how hard I tried, the memory kept replaying itself in pieces that refused to leave me alone.I remembered the tea, the tension and the look on Caspian’s face when he asked me if Octavian made me feel safer.That was the part haunting m

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    Thirty Six

    Caspian The second I stepped into the kitchen, the bond turned vicious. It wasn't angry as usual, this one was worse. It felt desperate. It hit me all at once, sharp enough to make my chest tighten painfully as my gaze landed on Daisy standing beside Octavian with a mug cradled between her han
