MasukKaidenI toss my head back in laughter. She can't possibly be serious, there is no way she's accusing Alex of taking the envelope."Look, I know you don't like him but to accuse him of this is going too far." Her brows slash down in anger and I brace myself for the outburst.Daisy slaps her hand to her chest, "You think I'm lying? He was the last person I came in contact with before I lost consciousness."My eyes widen, and I lift my hands in a calming gesture. "Whoa, hold up, I didn't say you're lying," I say quickly, trying to diffuse the situation. "I just mean... maybe there's more to it, we should look into it further. Let's not jump to conclusions, Pyrkagiá." My voice is gentle as I try to reel her in from the edge.She glares at me, not convinced by my words but her body language is not as defensive as it was. "I don't know who else it could be, Kaiden. He was the first person to get to me that day and that was the last time I felt the envelope in my pocket."There's no way Ale
KaidenI gulp down the glass of scotch and focus my attention on the document in front of me. There’s a dull knock on the door. "Boss, Miss Daisy is here to see you." My head whips up to see Daisy taking cautious steps into my office.I am out of my chair and rounding my desk in a heartbeat, closing the distance between us. My eyes roam her body looking for any sign of distress as worry grips my chest."What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I cup her elbows to pull her closer. Why is she here? Did something happen? These questions circle my mind, only getting louder with each second she doesn't answer.Her hands lift to my chest to rub soothing circles. "I'm okay, just wanted to get out of the mansion." Wrapping her in my arms, I breathe in her scent. With how busy I've been these past days we haven't really talked much. Most of the information I get about her is from Andreas's reports on her progress. "Who brought you here?" When she was coming in, I didn't see any of her guards. There's no
DaisyWith my grip still on the handle, I pull myself up to my feet fighting against my blurred vision. Alex looks above my head into the dark tunnel and I pray silently that Andreas doesn't show himself. It's just my luck that the exit I found leads to Alex's office."What the fuck are you doing?" He repeats, eyeing my battered frame suspiciously. I don't give him an answer. Fuck him. Shouldering past him, I walk deeper into his office to the drink cart and pour myself a finger of whiskey.The liquor goes down smoothly and I hiss at the burn of it. The muscles of my throat scream as I swallow, Andreas's parting gift. I needed that; let's call it a pick-me-up from the shit Andreas just put me through.I hear the door swing shut behind me and Alex closes the distance between us, snatching the glass from my hand and slamming it down on the table."Have you gone deaf?" He speaks slowly, like he is talking to a child."No. I'm fucking ignoring you," I snarl in reply. He doesn't take a da
Daisy Andreas and I are somewhere I’d have never expected on the fifth day of training. The trainings have been so exhausting that I spend nights thinking about what I am going to learn next and dreading it. Andreas is intense, more so than Kaiden. But I trust him. I couldn’t explain how, or why but I did. When I took a shower this morning and stepped out of the room, the last place I expected to end up was beneath the mansion, within the tunnels again. Andreas kept leading me down the stairs with a flashlight that did little to pierce the darkness. Its weak illumination somehow makes this place more eerie. I get that we're keeping this a secret but this seems like overkill."Where are we going?" I ask. All I get is a grunt in reply. My heartbeat triples in my chest, looking around warily fully expecting armed men to jump out from the shadows and kill us.He comes to a stop in a narrow tunnel, tosses the torchlight on the ground, and turns to face me. "Why are we here?" The fear th
Kaiden I try to ignore the bruises on her body. When I told Andreas that she wanted to be able to defend herself, I did not expect him to train her as he trained me. The only time I can be alone with her is in this room, I lie next to her, she's facing the wall with her back turned to me. I guess we are back to this. “Andreas can be unrelenting, but he means well,” I say to her shoulders. “Mhm." Her sleepy hum is all the reply I get, I should turn away from her, let her have her moment. I guess she realises what I’ve come to know. If Callum hadn’t gotten into our world he’d still be alive. He was the closest thing she had to a brother and these people who have this bloodlust for Kyklos took him from her. Somehow I blame myself too. I should let her have a moment….But I can’t. I turn her reluctant body towards me, “Hey, if it’s too much… I can tell him to stop.” That's the last thing she wants, but I offer it anyway. "I’d tighten security around you, I’d—" “No,” she cuts me off
Daisy I twist in front of the mirror, my shirt is lifted to reveal the bruise on my back. With a sigh, I turn away from the sight and let my shirt drop. Right now I am just a jumbled mass of aches and pains. Andreas really didn't pull any punches or maybe I am just so unathletic. Groaning, I take off my sweat-drenched clothes and let them drop to the floor.I step under the warm spray of the shower, wincing when the pressure hits my sore spots. If I am already run this ragged, I wonder how I am going to survive the next session.The scent of lavender fills the steamy air as I massage the soap into my skin. The warm water works its magic and I start to relax, muscles slowly unclenching. I rinse off and stand underneath the shower, letting my head rest on the cool wall.It's in these quiet moments that my mind drifts to Aunt Mercy. I am worried about her being all alone dealing with Callum’s death and my being here. She lost her son and I might as well be a thousand miles away. Callu
