Daisy
“Deep breaths,” Yato murmurs from behind me while gripping my outstretched arm. We are training out
in the field, and he is trying to teach me how to summon a ball of light. “Now focus on the power
coursing through your veins.”
I close my eyes and try to be one with nature, but Caleb interrupts me. “You can do this, Alpha!”
he shouts. “I believe in you!”
Irritation res up inside me, and I open my eyes to re at the grinning vampire. “Could you please
shut the f*ck up? I’m trying to concentrate!”
“Right away, Alpha!” He gives me a determined salute and opens the huge bag he brought with him. “I
will begin to prepare your sandwich and afternoon tea.”
Yato is silent for a while before whispering, “Are you sure this is the third strongest vampire to exist?”
“I’m sure,” I was training with Caleb earlier this morning, and even though he took it easy on me, I could
barely keep up with him. He is a force to be reckoned with. “He is also the perfect Bea for me since he
doesn’t take offense to my vulgarnguage.”
My words are met with a heartyugh from Yato. “Well, in that case,” he manages between chuckles, “I
trust your judgment, Alpha
The rest of the training session continues without another hitch Caleb – my Beta, I remind myself –
stays dutifully silent as he prepares sandwiches and tea under the shade of a nearby tree His eyes
never stray from where Yato and I stand in the center of the field, hands outstretched as he tries to
teach me how to summon my inner light.
“Feel it,” Yato murmurs. “The power is there. You just h
have to tame it.”
Another deep breath. Another surge of concentration. Then sess. A small orb of adorable light
flickers into existence above my palm.
It feels like a tiny little heartbeat, and tears prickle behind my eyelids as I whisper, “Hello there.”
The light doesn’t fade away, and Yato ducks his head to study it with curious eyes. “So this is the light
Alpha’s power,” a grin stretches across his face. “Well done, Alpha. You’re one step closer to mastering
your magic.”
Caleb’s cheer rings out from his spot beneath a tree. “I knew you could do it!”
I turn around to sh him a triumphant grin. “Thanks for believing in me.”
His answering smile is bright, his own triumph written in the depths of his red eyes. “I knew you could
do it, Daisy,” he says, tapping the pic nket.” “I’m sure you guys are hungry, so I have prepared
sandwiches for you both. Oh, and some other treats!”
“Great, I’m starving!” Yato rubs his hands dramatically as he walks over to Caleb, “I don’t know where
to start. This looks amazing, Caleb.”
Caleb’s red eyes turn all watery. He gets really mushy whenever he isplimented. “Thank you,
Alpha Yato. It means a loting from you.”
Yato just grins. “I knew your new daylight ring woulde in handy. I could never pull off a feast like
this… Daisy, are youing to join us?”

Chapter 57
I nod, closing my fist to douse the radiant ball of light. An unexpected wave of exhaustion hits me,
causing my knees to buckle slightly.
Caleb is instantly by my side, offering steady support as he guides me to the pic nket. “You did
great,” he murmurs encouragingly, helping me settle on the nket. “Rest up and enjoy the food.”
“Thank you, Caleb.”
I lean back against the tree behind me, feeling the sun warm my face before I pick up a sandwich and
dig in. It tastes wonderful-L is one lucky girl.
After eating, the training continues until it turns dark. A cares to pick me up while Caleb runs off to
the old pack house that has be his and L’s new home. Yato is living in the small vige and so
it’s just me walking up the stairs to my room alone.
After I’ve walked up thest stairs, I see my door, but the corridor isn’t empty. Isabe is leaning
against the wall with her delicate arms crossed over her chest.
“There you are,” she says icily. “I’ve been waiting for you…sister..or is it Alpha now? I’m confused since
you announced to our mother that we are no longer family.”
I’m not dumb enough not to realize she is trying to guilt trip me for the conversation I had with her mom.
Unfortunately for Isabe, I don’t regret the things I said to Margaret. I’m done being bound to a family
that doesn’t love me.
“That’s Alpha Daisy for you.” I say in a cold voice that matches her own. “And I’m no longer your sister.”
Isabe gasps but quickly recovers. “You’re too good for us now, huh? Too busy being an Alpha and
Xavier’s favorite to care about the family you left behind?”
Something snaps in me when I hear those words, and even though Isabe is taller than me, I
approach her. And my eyes must be fiery and intense because, shockingly enough, she backs up a
step. But I don’t let up
“Yes, Isabe,” I hiss, nostrils ring. “I am too good for you. I’m not like you and your mother and Lina.
I’m not okay with treating those beneath me like bugs, something you and your family did to me for all
the years I’ve been alive. 1, unlike you, will never forget what it was like being an Omega. I will treat
those who respect me with the same respect, regardless of their rank. Something you’d do well to
learn.”
Her eyes widen at my words, but I notice a twinge of hurt in them. “You have no idea what it’s like,
Daisy,” she spits out. “You’re an Alpha now while I’m nothing. Xavier called off our marriage, and I’m no
longer the future Luna… I’m just—” Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
I interrupt her. “Together with Beta Kit, who is your fated mate-you should honestly be happy. Even if
you’re not Luna, you’ll have a much happier life with someone who is meant for you,” I say, my voice
holding no remorse. “And as for Xavier, he was never really yours, was he?”
Isabe scoffs, her eyes ring daggers at me. “I f*cking knew it. You’re Xavier’s fated mate, aren’t
you? I’ve always suspected as much, but he never confirmed it.”
Even though I want to keep this conversation respectful, I can’t stop myself from letting my bitterness
take over.
“I am,” I smirk at her. “Xavier is my mate, and you know what? Ele wanted me even when I was just a
weak little Omega, but you he wouldn’t even touch you. Does that sting? Being so much more beautiful
than I am, yet not good enough for Alpha Xavier?”
The truth of my words hit her like a punch to the gut. Cold realization washes over her face, and I
almost feel sorry for her. Almost. But this is Isabe-the girl who had everything handed to her on a
silver tter and still managed to treat everyone around her like dirt.

Chapter 57
“You’re just a……..” she stammers, trying to think of an insult that could knock me down.
“A what, Isabe? An Omega? Yeah, I was…but now I’m an Alpha I say, holding my head high. “And
even when I was at the very bottom, Xavier still chose me over you.”
A single tear escapes her eye, but she quickly wipes it away. “You won’t be Alpha for long if I have
anything to do with it,” she hisses, storming off down the corridor.
I watch her go, my heart pounding in my chest. Did I just win this argument?
Behind me, I hear a familiar chuckle. “Well, that was intense. Why does drama always have a way of
finding you, Daisy?”
It’s Yato. He is leaning against the frame of the door adjacent to mine. A grin is stered on his face,
but there’s an unmistakable glint of respect in his eyes.
“I guess drama loves me,” I shrug offhandedly. “Or maybe it’s because I’ve finally found my voice, and
I’m not afraid to use
Yato ps a hand over his heart as though physically moved by my words. “Alpha Daisy, defender of
Omegas, vanquisher of petty dramatics.”
1 chuckle arhis exaggeration. “I’m no vanquisher, Yato. Just someone tired of being pushed around.”
There’s a brief silence before he says something that surprises me: “You know, Daisy…for what it’s
worth, I think you’re a great Alpha.”
blink at him in surprise. He’s never been this openlyplimentary before. “Thank you, Yato,” I say
sincerely. “Is that why you’re here??
His face immediately falters. “No… I’m actually here to ask you for a huge favor.”“”
Dread settles in the pit of my gut. “What is it?”
“It’s Xavier,” he exhales slowly. “Would you mind giving him your blood again? He is refusing to drink
mine and has locked himself up in his room. But maybe he will ept your help?”
