DAISY'S POV
I felt Like something was rising in me.
A strange heat ran through my veins. My fingers curled into claws. My vision turned red. My teeth sharpened like fangs.
Then—I attacked.
I didn't mean to. My body moved on its own. I launched at him and bit his neck.
Blood.
Everyone gasped.
"No!" someone screamed. "She bit the Alpha!"
Noah staggered back, holding his neck. His eyes wide. Shocked.
I stepped back, panting. My mouth… tasted like blood. My body was shaking, twitching. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
The whispers started again.
"Her eyes…"
"Look at her fangs!"
"She's not… she's not one of us."
I looked at my hands—my nails were black. My skin is pale. My reflection in the training glass showed a monster I didn't recognize.
Then—everything went black.
The moment I woke up, l was laying in a luxurious bed inside a strange room. I don't even know where I was.
My body ached. My head throbbed. But worst of all… I was alone.
Until the door creaked open.
Alpha Noah stood there, a thick bandage around his neck.
I sat up slowly. "What… what did I do?"
Why am I here?
Where is my grandfather?
He said, "Answer my question first and I'll tell You where the old man is.
Did you or did you not know about your powers?
I Snapped, "Powers?!
what do you…
The moment I ask, it just flash back to my memory, The drama that just happened to me at training ground.
I placed my hand on my hand, "I shifted, I think, but, but it wasn't into a wolf."
Looking at my hands I was confused.
"I don't know how that happened."
He said with his face unreadable, "you don't expect me to believe that."
"Officially, I sent your grandfather to the Border to help secure the perimeter".
unofficial that was his punishment for keeping the truth from us.
I looked at him, I demanded,what truth?
He stared at me, his eyes locked on mine, he brought out a letter and handed it over to me.
I looked at the letter from my grandpa.
I opened it.
And read.
Daisy, I'm Sorry, kid.
I wanted to tell you the Truth.
When your mother was your age, she ran away for a year, when She came back, we'll, she had you. Oh, she wouldn't tell anyone Who the father was.
But when You were born, I knew you were different, you were a vampire-wolf hybrid.
Tears falling down from my eyes.
Alpha Noah, voice, finished?
Good!
I turned to him and snapped, "I'm a monster?
What are you gonna do now, Alpha?
Kick me out?
Leave me to the wolves, literally?
He said, "nothing is going to happen to you.
I promise."
I said, "just how are you going to word?"
Basically, everyone out there wants me dead.
he said
It is simple.
He gave a Caton, "pack your things, Storm." "You're moving in with me," He said.
LORD KLAUDIU'S POV
I was asleep in my cold, dark chambers. For centuries, the castle had been silent. Nothing moved. Nothing breathed.
Until the dream came.
It wasn't like the others. It was clear. Powerful.
My daughter is very close, so I need to find her.
When I looked at her eyes, it was glowing red. Her scream shook the stars. And then… the ancient mark on her wrist lit up with fire.
I woke up at once, my black eyes wide.
"Finally," I whispered, voice shaking with joy. "After all these years… my daughter has awakened."
A thousand years I had waited for this moment. A thousand years since she was taken from me. Hidden. Raised by wolves. My daughter, the last born of the vampire royal bloodline.
I stood from my throne made of bones and shouted, "Lucien!"
A tall, pale man appeared in seconds and bowed low. "Yes, my lord?"
"Go," I said, fangs showing. "Bring my daughter home."
Lucien didn't ask questions. He simply vanished into the shadows.
This time, I would not fail.
DAISY'S POV
I packed my things slowly. Everything I knew was gone. My identity… my mother's death… the power inside me… it was all too much.
Alpha Noah said I had to move in with him—for my protection. He was right. Ever since I bit him during training, the entire pack feared me. Some even tried to attack me in the hallways. I didn't want to admit it… but I had no one else.
Noah's house was big, cold, and way too clean. Like no one really lived here.
When I entered, he wasn't around. So I explored a bit.
Then I found a door slightly open.
I pushed it.
Inside was a dark room filled with weapons, silver chains, and—maps. Lots of maps. Red marks. Circles. Names.
It was a vampire hunting map.
I stepped closer, heart pounding.
My name was on it.
Right next to the word: "DANGEROUS."
Then I heard a voice—right behind me.
"This is the Alpha's private office."
I jumped and spun around. Noah stood behind me, arms crossed.
"I…I was just looking around here, everything here looks so nice and I didnt know you were there," I said, stepping back till my back pressed on the wall.
His face didn't change. "But since you're already in here, we might as well go over the ground rules."
I swallowed hard.
"You'll be staying here until further notice," he said. "You are not allowed to leave unless it's to go to school and back. No late-night walks. No visiting town. And," he added with a smirk, "you'll be sleeping in the Alpha's master bedroom.
My eyes widened. " Really do you want me to sleep with you?" I asked sharply.
He snapped. "You can sleep in the closet at least that maybe better, right?
Or out side the house I don't really care where you sleep."
I snapped, "then why don't your let me leave?"
As he looked at me our eyes locked in each other like we're about to take our first kiss, he was very close, his voice was low and darker. "should I tell you how I used to handle my prisoners?" he murmured, his breath brushing my lips. "Especially the ones who drink blood."
I glared at him. "Then why keep me here at all?"
He paused, staring at me. For the first time, he looked… conflicted.
"Because if I don't… they'll come for you. And I won't like to be far from you because I've already promised to protect you."
Suddenly, a loud sound echoed from the front of the house. A knock. Then another.
Then…
