All Chapters of The Alpha's Daughter: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Daciana's P.O.V My father always said life was a fleeting breath. A fragile thread that could be spun and severed without our consent. But I always believed otherwise; that every moment leading to our death is a choice we make. And that both consciously and in the quiet corners of our mind, we are always preparing for the day life's fair gift comes for us. It felt like none of those things the day he died, and it felt even more empty in this moment. I stared at the lifeless body of my mother. Her eyes hadn't closed all the way when she drew her last breath. Nick was also there, and despite not being so close to him, he'd risked his life to save mine. My heart was heavy, and my tears ran down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly. The fight had ended, but it had cost me more than I'd imagined. Just the other night we were in her home, and I was only beginning to learn the truth about myself, but now she was gone. “Please wake up,” I pleaded, yanking her off the ground and hugging her. “

Daciana's P.O.VWe were friends. Nothing more, nothing less.Then why was I standing in front of him naked? Why was I staring at his hardened dick?Adam submerged himself into the water again and the loud splash snapped me out of my very bad idea of a fantasy.I cleared my throat roughly and walked back to where I'd taken off my clothes. I quickly got dressed and turned to leave.“Daciana?” His voice broke through the silence.I stood, but didn't turn. “Can you help me?” I gasped. “Are you crazy?” I spun around quickly, but he was pointing at his clothes.That's not what I heard in that voice he'd spoken with. It was raw, vulnerable, and seeking something else. But maybe it was just in my head.I took a deep breath, picked up his clothes and took them down to him. He swam towards the edge, but as I leaned forward to hand him the clothes, my foot slipped.“Wow!” I shrieked as I landed with a splash, right into his arms.His grip was firm. One hand around my waist, and another at my b

Milton's P.O.V“How are you feeling?”Daciana lay on the bed, cuddled up to herself since the incident with Adam.She hadn't said a word to me, or to Amelia who was lying with her.I reached for her hair, stroking my hands through it and planted a kiss on her forehead.Grief has a way of hunting you. You might not have noticed it the first few days, but the nightmares that follow are harder to ignore.There was a knock on the door, followed by Robert stepping into the room.“Milton, the elders want to see you.”I looked up at him, a frown settling on my lips. “Why?” I asked.“It's best they tell you themselves,” he answered, and left.I turned to Daciana. She was now looking at me, her face a little warm to look up on. “Go,” she urged me. “Amelia and I will be fine.”I hesitated, but left. Davies and the elders didn't like being kept waiting. I knew they'd send more people to call me if I delayed longer.Robert was waiting for me outside the room.“The guards told me you had a fight

Daciana's P.O.VMilton had a little party organised to celebrate Amelia’s birthday. It turned out she'd been pestering him about since we returned from the fight.“You didn't have to,” I said, but he scoffed.“Are we going to let our problems come in the way of her happiness?” He asked, watching her giggle and run circles around Cersei.I sighed. “You're right. Today is about her. Not me, not you. Just her.”I walked up to her and joined in Cersei's pursuit to give her a bath.She saw the opening, and scrambled to Milton, hiding behind him.“You're not going to catch me,” she giggled heartily.To her surprise, Milton swooped her off her feet and handed her over to me.“That's cheating,” she bickered, feeling betrayed by the man she'd grown so awfully close to.“I beg to differ,” I smiled as I took off her clothes and carried her to the shower.She insisted she'd shower on her own, and asked that Cersei and I gave her privacy. I smiled at her request, and obliged.Milton wasn't in the
