Chapter Twenty One
LANDON"Landon, let’s talk to the princesses that I have invited," mother said easily as she touched me by the arm.I slowly retracted my hands from hers. This was not how I wished the night to go. Looking around frantically for Daisy, I noted that she was engaged in some hot words with one of the princess, who I couldn’t care less about her name. I knew she was about to cry, but she was trying to be strong. It was a trait that I admired, but I wish she would just drop it."Landon," mother whined once more.I turned my gaze to her, my eyes as cold as ice. "You shouldn’t have done this," I blurted out.She gave me a look. "What are you talking about dear?"I moved closer to her, not caring who heard what at the moment. "You broke my relationship with Daisy in the most disgusting way. Why? Tell me why you did it?"Mother flipped her hair over her shoulders as she rolled her eyes at me. "Princess Mona seems to be dying to have a word with you. Keep her company, Landon. You’re a prince, s

Chapter Twenty Two
LANDON“Daisy," I said in a whisper.My legs shook as it moved forward. This couldn’t be happening. Lowering myself on the floor, I pulled back the robe even further, and noted how lifeless she was with blue veins moving around her skin.I swallowed hard as I caressed Daisy’s hollow cheeks. There was no way she would be dead right now. It must be a mistake and John didn’t know what he was saying. Yes, that should be it."Get up," I cried. “You need to open your eyes. You need to get up and come with me.”"Prince Landon.” John whispered, pain evident in his voice. I ignored him at once, placing both hands around Daisy’s cheeks as I willed her mentally to wake up. "This cannot be the end. You can’t leave me on the night I completely failed you. Come on, you need to wake up! I have searched for you all of my life, and it’s important to take care of you," I cried. Daisy wouldn’t still open her eyes, despite my pleadings. I felt like I was about to drown in a bottomless pit and there wou

Chapter Twenty Three
LANDONI hugged Daisy so hard, not wishing to let her go even for a minute. She meant a lot to me, more than I could put into words. How could someone so pure go through so much pain?"Landon, I can’t breathe," she whined.A smile touched my lips as I slowly released her. "You don’t want me to hug you, silly girl," I teased just as hard.I let my fingers slowly slide through her hair. She was the most amazing, and the sweetest soul ever. Nothing must go wrong with her. Her eyes were slowly dim, and I could tell that she was struggling to get herself and that broke me."Come closer," she said softly.I leaned closer to her and felt her hands weakly hold me tight. It felts so good to be able to have such a hold on me, and I just wanted to be with her even more than I ever had in my whole lifetime."Can you stop this awful display now?" Mother’s voice pierced through the moment.I gritted my teeth as I slowly pulled away, kissing Daisy on her forehead. I looked down on her face, and her

Chapter Twenty Four
ALEXANDERThe whole atmosphere was so chill as death, and I didn’t need to be told twice what had caused it to be so. There was no point in dwelling in such matters, but I found that I couldn’t think straight with all that had happened.I turned towards the empty podium where the queen and king should be, but it was vacant. "Do you think someone really tried to kill Daisy, or she had orchestrated all these to gain sympathy from the Lycan Prince?" I asked Wyatt who stood behind me in silence."Alpha, I wouldn’t know for sure till I investigate the matter. But, whatever happened here doesn’t look like a ploy. She was really in pain," Wyatt said calmly.I frowned at that as my hands twisted over my pants. If that were true, then who could have done such a thing? It was definitely not me, because all I wanted was to get her out of here, and to my pack. I wanted her to knee before me in submission, and unable to say a word in her defence.My eyes scanned the room, and I realised that Mart

Chapter Twenty Five
DAISY"Ugh!"My fingers lightly kneaded the side of my head as I tried to stay awake. I felt as though someone was hitting my head with a hammer, and I just didn’t know how to get the pain off. Slowly, I turned over to my left in a bid to see what time it was. The giant clock on the wall claimed it was 6 am."Maybe, I’m going through this because I woke up too early?" I mumbled to myself as I tried to get to my feet.It was as though I was swimming in a pool, with no means to swim out. Biting down my lips in pain, I tried hard not to scream. I pushed my hands back a bit, and slowly pushed myself up."Oh, moon goddess!" I breathed out at the same time the door sprang open, and in came, Prince Landon holding a tray of freshly baked biscuit and warm scented tea.He beamed at me as though we had suddenly sorted out all the problems between us. "I’m so glad you’re awake, darling," he said heartily.Since when did he call me that and act this way? I couldn’t stand the way he was so frivolou

Chapter Twenty Six
DAISY"I can’t keep staying here," I grumbled as I got out of bed, feeling completely drained. I knew I needed rest but I couldn’t continue to lie in bed all day. I was losing my mind with all the thoughts in my head and a distraction was needed. I had no idea what time it was, but I knew I had spent two days in bed after Landon’s last visit. The fact he had not come again to check up on me was so painful. Was I really going to succeed in breaking my own relationship with my own hands? Had I really succeeded in pushing him away? I shook my head as I walked barefoot to the bathroom. I can’t take the whole blame since he was the one who didn’t do anything to defend me from his mother’s continuous onslaught.Sighing I pulled my shirt off and tossed it to the nearest washing basket. I could imagine that I actually had some odour since I had not had my bath for two days, but at least, I was fine now. Stepping into the bath, I opened the tap, and allowed the water to wash me from my hair

Chapter Twenty Seven
DAISYLandon led me to his room, without saying a word to me, or letting go of my waist. I was grateful for that because it would simply make the princesses see the chemistry between us and annoy them even more."Come in," he said politely.I said nothing as I stepped in. Taking several steps away from him, in other to put some distance between us, I watched as he shut the door firmly behind him. I held my hands together, hoping to control the pain that I was feeling. "I have missed you," he said suddenly as he turned to look at me.I scoffed. "Save those words. You have shown me what I meant to you since the night of the ball."I blinked in shock as Landon suddenly pushed me against the wall, trapping me with his body. I could hear the pounding of my heart and I knew he could too. "Don’t try to intimidate me," I said, feeling heat all over my body. He smirked. "What are you afraid of, Daisy?"I looked away from his piercing eyes, unable to take any more of the heat that he exuded.

Chapter Twenty Eight
LANDONMy father, the king...I quickly placed Daisy back on the pillow and slowly pulled away from her. I could see the question and worry in her eyes, but I didn’t have the time to appease her. Quickly, I ran to the wardrobe and grabbed clothes for myself, a royal robe.No matter what, one must not enter the crown area without having a robe. I turned to look at Daisy, who was holding a pillow to herself in a bid to cover up her nakedness. I tried to smile, but it didn’t come out quite right."Wait here," I said instead.With that, I stepped out of the room to a pensive-looking John. His head was down in obeisance, and I could tell that the matter was grave, for there was none of his calming aura at that moment."What happened to my father?” I asked at once.He shook his head. "I don’t have much information about it, Prince Landon. All I know is that the queen has sent for you, and she is in no good mood," he added.I gave a quick nod and moved quickly toward the elevator. John follo
