DECLAN As consciousness slowly seeps back into my mind, I found myself enveloped in a haze of confusion. I blinked, disoriented, unsure of where I was or how I had come to be here. What was going on? The last time I was awake, I was with my children and now I was in this strange place. A strange beautiful place. Everything seemed surreal, as if I were caught in the midst of a dream from which I could not wake. I stood up to my feet and at that moment, I could feel myself float. My entire body felt not as feathery as I walked on the grass, feeling a sense of calmness in the pit of my stomach. It was almost as if I was not depressed about how my mate had died. It almost felt like I had died because my emotions were not present. I looked around, trying to understand where I was, and then, amidst the swirling mists, I saw them. Julian and Liam stood before me, their smiles luminous and their presence a balm to my blank soul.My heart skipped a beat and I stood there in shock, a surge o
DECLAN As I woke beside Daisy, the warmth of her presence enveloping me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over me. We had shared a peaceful and sensual night together, our worries momentarily forgotten in the embrace of our love. Is has been a month. A blissful month of love as we tried to forget the trials and tribulations our family had gotten through. We were raising our kids perfectly. I had legally adopted them as mine and I was going to raise them as that. I didn’t want there to be anything that was going to stop me from doing the right thing by them. I wanted to be there for them like my father was for me and give them the best childhood anyone could ever ask for. “Declan.” Daisy sighed under my arm, turning and leaning into me. I looked down at her face, her perfect little face. I would go to war for her. All I wanted was to stare at her and wait for her to fall asleep. But as much as I longed to stay by her side, duty called. Today was my coronation day
DAISY One year later. One year had passed since the day I had woken from my coma, and what a year it had been. Today, as I stood before the mirror in my bridal gown, the excitement and nerves intertwined within me, creating a whirlwind of emotions. This was the day Declan and I would become husband and wife, surrounded by our beloved pack, family, and friends.I smoothed my hands against my dress and I smiled when I felt the sheen feeling of the material it was made up of. I had never thought that I was going to be wearing a dress with such luxury as this some time in my life. I had always just thought that I was going to wear some cheap clothes when I came to this pack, even though I thought I was going to get married to Julian at that time. But it never settled in my head to have an extravagant wedding. Yet here I was, in one of the most expensive dresses anyone has ever owned in the pack and being the Luna of the pack. It brought so many privileges that I underestimated what it
DAISY I am getting mated today. I watched my reflection in the mirror, smiling when I caught the blush on my cheeks. The dress was not everything I had always wanted, but it was going to do. It did not matter what I was wearing because I was going to get mated to the man of my dreams. Julian Hale was the son of the alpha of my pack. About a year ago, I came into this pack with no recollection of my past or my identity. The only thing I knew was a name that rang in the back of my head, which I supposed was my name. The rest of the attachment was given to me when I was enrolling in high school after I was advised to do so by my friend, Joyce.There was a bitter taste in the back of my tongue when I remembered that she was not going to be here with me to celebrate with me on my big day. She was an angel sent to me at the lowest point of my life until the ugly claws of death took her right from me. The stupid decision of a drunk teenager who was driving recklessly that night took the l
Three months laterDAISY Time had ran by so fast.It was like yesterday when I left the pack to nurse my broken heart and to take care of the baby growing in my tummy. I settled in a rogue pack because I did not have the money to transport myself to another pack. The cost of transportation was high. I spent all of my money on the clothes I had worn on my supposed engagement. Remembering it did not feel like hell anymore. My chest did not tighten so hard that I could barely breathe, and tears did not come to my eyes whenever I remembered his name. It seemed as though I was healing. When I came to the rogue pack, I had to hide my pregnancy from them. I knew the risks that were going to come to me if I told them. If an attack was ever to be launched at them, they were going to leave me behind because I would strike as a liability to them. They still had doubts about me because they were sure that I wouldn’t be able to fight when a threat came. The reason was that I was not able to shif
THIRD PERSON’S POVThe triplets were devastated when they heard about the death of their father, but they did not have the time to mull over it. As the heirs of the pack, they knew what was going to come next. One of them was going to be on the seat, but they did not know who yet because their mate had not shown up yet. They knew it was about to be soon enough because their birthday was coming up. Chances are the mate was going to show up on the day. “We need to go and meet Beta Andrew. He is going to tell us how the pack is going to run before we eventually know who is going to be the alpha.” Declan, the eldest of the triplets, spoke up. Declan had always been the mature one out of the three of them. He knew that he had the higher odds of becoming the alpha of the pack because he was more responsible. While his brothers liked to party and waste money, especially Julian, he was focused on his future. “Whatever happens, you are not going to speak up to be the interim alpha,” Liam, t
DAISY I waited for the longest time, hoping that Alpha Jameson was going to send someone to pick me up at least, but it seemed like he was not. I had already said my last goodbyes to the people of the rogue pack, and had packed everything that I was going to need, then gave out the rest of my belongings. I knew that when I was back in the Shadow pack I was going to have to change my entire wardrobe. When I arrived at the Shadow pack the first time, alphas and betas would look down on me. They never failed to remind me that I was inferior to them. At first, it made me angry but as time went on, I realised that when you grow up with that kind of mentality, it is hard to leave it behind. It was why I knew that I had to change my status first. In case everyone knew me as the girl Julian used and dumped, they would think twice before they approached me and spoke to me about it. The sun had already started to go down, which made me think that perhaps Alpha Jameson did not make the plan f
DAISYThe next day, I woke up super early. It was my body’s way of telling me that it did not recognize the place it was sleeping. I have never been so comfortable on the bed, knowing that I was in one of the most protected places in the world. No one was going to come out of anywhere and hurt me. I was a hundred percent safe and if things were to go the way I had planned, it was going to stay that way forever. I got out of bed after I was done thinking about my situation. I got into the bathroom and freshened up, then took some of the local supplements that I got in the rogue pack. I was not able to eat much and I needed my baby to be healthy. It is still three months old and right now, it is crucial to give it all the vitamins it would need so it will develop well. After I was done with my morning routine, I used the belly tape and then I wore a baggy shirt and shorts. I checked my reflection well in the full length mirror before I headed out of the room. The sun was up by the tim
