Daisy
“Daisy,” Caleb ces a hand on my shoulder. “You can’t heal every single pack member. Let yourself
rest.”
I meet his eyes and feel a panic inside my chest. The first two people I healed were Yato and Caleb.
They are helping the pack hospital load people into trucks. L is at the hospital since she is a nurse.
And what about me? Well… I’ve been healing every single injured werewolf that hase in my path,
including Isabe. She is standing further away and watching me.
“I didn’t think I would agree with your vampire Beta, but he is right: you can’t heal everyone. You and
Yato are our Alphas now that Xavier is gone, and you need your strength.”
The fact that my sister is trying to be nice shocks me to the very core. I stare at her in disbelief, my
mouth opening closing like the one belonging to a goldfish.
“Sorry, but how do you know I’m a vampire?” Caleb asks in a curious voice.
“Anyone who saw you fight can probably tell since you didn’t shift into a werewolf.”
“Oh…”
and
Isabe smirks. “Don’t worry. If you’re one of the good guys, I don’t think the pack cares. You saved a
lot of children before you were finally taken down,” she casts her nce at a mother who is looking at
Caleb with grateful eyes. “See, the pack doesn’t give a f*ck.”
As Caleb and I both look around the field, Kit walks up to Isabe with a coffee tray. “You guys want
coffee?” he asks and grimaces. “I know we have lost a lot of people, but I thought this might bring back
your strength, Alpha Daisy.”
Being called “Alpha” makes my eyes widen. Even though it’s a time I want, I feel as if I don’t deserve it-
the vampire queen defeated me too easily. And now, Xavier is gone and working for the dark side.
I hug my legs to my body. “L..I don’t know if I should be an Alpha anymore…”
“Nonsense!” “To my surprise, it’s Isabe speaking up, and when look at her, there is a fire in her eyes.”
You’re the strongest werewolf we have on our side, and you’re the light wolf,” she points up at the dark
sky. You’re the ONLY one who can fix this and bring back the sun. Don’t let this loss get to you, sister”
“S-sister?” I ask incredulously.
“Mhm,” she lifts her pert nose into the air. “It doesn’t matter that you announced that you were done
with the family, Daisy. Because while we might have treated you like shit for years, I’m not going
anywhere. This war? It’s personal now that it’s against my ex-fiancé and your ex-mate. We can’t let that
idiot win
‘She is right, Sera sounds determined. “Stop this pity party and try to be more positive.”
With that, I rub my eyes and sit up. “We have to start training again and…I think I need to leave the
ind and fly to Alpha Xavier’s real mansion. Most of our pack lives on the maind, not here on this
tropical ind. But…I don’t know how to afford that.”
“I will help with that.”
I turn around and gasp when I see Christian Reeves and Sabrina walking towards us. The old man
smiles when he sees me.

Chapter 63
“Daisy, we meet again.” There is a gleam in his eye, one that speaks of his mischief. He looks less like
a helpless, wealthy man like he did at the airport when I first met him and more like a cunning old
Alpha.
Something is also different with his eyes. Is he wearing contact lenses? His eyes are purple….
“Dad?” Yato pipes up from somewhere beforeing to join me and Caleb on the grass. “What the hell
are you doing here? And where have you been?!”
Christian sighs. “I’ve been around,” he says, cing a hand on Sabrina’s shoulder. “And this werewolf
right here has been my eyes and ears to make sure everything went ording to n, and I’m happy
to say it did.”
“That’s right, Sera chuckles inside my head. ‘Sabrina knew an awful lot about the vampires yesterday. I
thought she was on the bad side, but now I get it.”
“Get what?’
“Christian is one of the special wolves.
“Huh?”
“You might not know this, but I’m the psychic wolf-the one with visions of the future,” Christian reveals
with a satisfied
smile.
There are gasps all around me. Yato’s eyes are round as saucers, and Caleb looks like he’s about to
copse. I’m in shock myself but the surprise is quickly ovee by curiosity.
But we…we lost.” I mutter. “This doesn’t feel like-”
Christian raises a hand, cutting me off mid-sentence. “We did, but this loss was part of the n.”
“Part of…the n?” Caleb stammers, dumbfounded. His eyebrows knit together as he tries to make
sense of Christian’s revtion.
“Yes, exactly,” Christian sighs. “There wasn’t a single vision that showed a positive oue, except
one…” his purple eyes dig into mine. “I needed Xavier to fall in love with Daisy, and to make that
happen as quickly as possible, I gave her a ne ticket,” heughs. “The rest worked out like a charm.
Xavier was quickly smitten, and then all the pieces fell into ce.”
“Wait…” Yato began, his face unraveling into confusion. “So you manipted us and essentially forced
Daisy to fall in love with Xavier for your visions. ”
Christian nodded, “Yes, it sounds cruel, I know, but the two of them were mates-the moon goddess
must have agreed with my n from the very beginning.”
I furrow my eyebrows. “But but Xavier rejected me as his fated mate on that day.”
“A mistake he came to regret in every possible timeline,” Christian exins to me with a sad
expression. “What matters is what happened next. You epted him for the monster he is, and he fell
deeper in love. After that, all I needed was for Sabrina to tell you to go to him. If you hadn’t joined
Xavier on the field yesterday, you would have wound up dying somewhere else, and Taria would have
never made a promise not to hurt you. That promise was important. You see, even though Xavier’s
vampiric side doesn’t remember his werewolf life, he is still the same man. Lying isn’t eptable to
him. That’s why I knew he would defeat his mother to save your life.”
A bitterugh leaves my lips. “But Xavier is evil now. How are we supposed to defeat him?”
Christian snorts. “Evil? No, my dear child, he is confused,” a smile spreads over his lips. “Also, I want
you guys to be aware what is toe. Taria’s current n is to summon her husband back into this
world, Lucian. She doesn’t trust Xavier after

he saved you, and thus, she has decided she needs her husband, the pureblooded demon, on her
side.”
“Lucian?” Yato’s voice wavers. “But wasn’t he so evil that the vampires had to defeat him even before
they decided to wage war against the werewolves?”
“Indeed,” Christian confirms, his purple eyes glinting with a savage kind of amusement. “And if he is
sessfully summoned, there is no telling whose side he will be on. Probably on his own side.”
“But what can we do against a pureblooded demon?” I voice out the question that must gue all our
minds.
“Find the two remaining special werewolves and grow into your role as an Alpha, Daisy. That’s what I’m
expecting from you. Nothing more. Nothing less.”
1 raise an eyebrow. “Why do I feel like there is one other thing that you aren’t telling me?”
Christianughs. “I can’t tell you, or it won’t work out in the way that I want,” his eyes travel to a tree
where a dark raven is watching us. “Take every day as ites, learn as much as you can, and trust in
your instincts,” he advises, his gaze returning to mine. “And remember, not everything is as it seems.”
I frown at his cryptic words, but he doesn’t borate further. Instead, he stands and dusts off his knees.
“Sabrina and I must be going. We have ces to be but don’t worry about money, Daisy. All of Xavier’s
bank ounts are now yours. It’s what he would have wanted.”
Even though Xavier’s money will be helpful, I can’t help but stare at the friend I thought I knew. “And
what is your role in all of this?” I ask her.
Sabrina smiles. “I’m still your friend, Daisy. But there are some things I cannot tell you.”
“What are you to Christian?”
“Since he isn’t an Alpha, I guess I don’t have a role. All I know is that he saved me from the vampires a
long time ago, and now, I’m in his debt.”
With that, the two of them leave. I stare after them while wondering what the hell is going on. My mind
spins with questions, half-truths, and uncertainties. The tension is so thick could use a chainsaw to cut
it through.
“Yato,” I say, turning to face the other Alpha. “Did you know about this? About Sabrina?”
He shakes his head, “Nope…and I must be stupid because I had no clue my father was special.” A
laugh leaves his lips. “But now that I think about it, it makes sense. He has always been a cryptic man
with plenty of secrets.”
“Secrets,” 1 mutter and look up when the raven caws at me. Its beady eyes lock on mine, and I roll my
eyes. “Great, now even the bird is making fun of me…”
“Perhaps the bird is trying to tell you something.” Yato suggests, amusement sparkling in his eyes.
I nce once more at the raven which seems to be picking a hole in the tree. Then, dismissing theProperty of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
absurdity of that thought, I shake my head.
“Seriously, Yato? You’re suggesting I look for advice from a raven?” I give him a mock, incredulous look
before bursting intoughter.
Yato shrugs nonchntly, a grin tugging at his lips. “You never know, Daisy. Nature has a way of
revealing what the eye
cannot see.”
“And you have a way of sounding like an idiot,” I retort.
