Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Daisy's pov

"You know that hiding here is really not the best solution." I heard the door open and close not really in the mood for him now.

"Go away."

"And leave you to die from either hunger, depression or mostly this fowl stench." He goes about opening the curtains that caused a blinding light into the room making me flinch letting out a groan. "Tell me when last did you see the world?...like the outside world. You know with humans, flowers and birds chirping." Rolling my eyes at his sarcasm.

"I'm seeing the world dummy."

"I meant the real world outside the four corners of this hotel room with dirty pile of takeouts littered everywhere in a dark room."

"Leave me alone jer. I didn't pick your call and give you my location for you to mock me."

"Okay what's the problem? You know you can talk to me on anything bothering your sweet brain."

"Okay." I stood up rubbing my eyes. "I think I'm cursed." He stare at me for a second and burst out laughing.

"Is it now you realised that? I knew it long ago." I hit him with a pillow. Hard. Which he continues laughing at me and it's not funny.

"Stop it. I'm serious here." I whine.

"Okay okay but first go take a shower. Girl! You reek and call the fucking maintenance to have here look decent or I'm out. I feel like a bug will bite me if I stay any longer."

Scoffing. "Drama king much."

"I heard that and I better not come back to see you in this same condition. Pathetic." He scoffs going out the balcony for fresh air.

***

"...and that's how I got here." Well I didn't tell him the whole story about them not really human.

"So you ran away like a scardy cat and possibly got fired because your bosses are not whom they claim to be?" Flopping a pillow to rest on, grapes within his reach to eat as he gave me a 'yeah right keep lying bitch.'

"I didn't run away and I'm not fired. I just needed some space you know."

"Space from what? Why do I have this feeling you're not telling me the whole story behind the running away or your new work expertise as an astronaut which I need to ask, how are the Martians up there in space? Send my love to spaceville while you're at it." I glare hard at him which he wave off like a pesky fly with a smirk. I so hate him right now. "Well I won't pressurize until you ready to talk but I want you to be truthful to me as your best friend and to YOURSElF." I nod.

"Do you truly love them?"

"Of cause I do and you know that."

"Do you think they'll ever hurt you?"

"No."

"Then what are you afraid of? Stop being

scared and go claim what's yours before someone jump their bones."

I growl imagining such thoughts. "They're mine to jump and no one else." WTF! Did I just growl? Gosh they're already rubbing off on me. I miss them so much.

He smiles knowingly which made me pout. "Well start acting it and stop sulking around like a depressed soul."

"I'm not sulking." I retort with a huff crossing my arms.

He rolls his eyes picking up his blaring phone. "Yeah I'm on my way." He heads to the door. "Dai Bae don't let me miss you at home, so pack your shit and go back." He commands shutting the door with me glaring at the empty space he just left.

Damian's POV

We've given her a week since our date night and she hasn't reached out to us. No call, no text, basically nothing and we're back to our former selves, barking and snapping orders unnecessarily. I just want her to talk to us, we know she's scared but it's affecting us that we can't help her. She asked for a day and took a week, to make it more annoying she wasn't at home knowing we'll look for her over there, so she ran and hid at lord knows where. I'm struggling daily to keep myself at bay, trying not to go crazy and search for her as it seems we can't function without her to light it up, it's very difficult to control myself but she needs the space. I look over to Damon who stood by the window staring absentmindedly at the city, he looks lost. He haven't said much to anyone even around me, he just answers in one syllable words and locks up. I can feel his pain even if he doesn't want to express it so he won't look weak, he's trying to stay strong for us.

"Do you think she'll come to work today?" I join him by the window looking at the busy city of

NY.

"I don't know Bro." He sighs deeply, this is really affecting him.

"I'm scared. What if she ran away from us as a result of what we told her?" I ran a hand through my hair exasperating.

"I'm scared too Bro, don't worry we've given her enough time to think and hide. We'll get our best sniffers to look for her, I don't care where she is but she'll come to us by will or not." hey growls in authority and I know when he gets like this, Daisy won't find it nice.

"Let Bryan do the work, he's the best and we don't want to scare her when she sees a stranger." He nods in understanding still looking out before facing me.

"I miss her, I miss her so much. That little human have filled the void in my life and I can't have another if it's not her. I want her, I need her Damian because I love her." I pull him for a strong hug as he shudders on my neck.

I hug my brother bringing him closer for more comfort, he's not one for expressing feelings, matter of fact he has never expressed his feelings for any person before and I feel his pain. He's always been the strong and tough one amongst us, he feels frustrated that he can't control his emotions since it's still foreign to him. I feel tears on my neck as he pours his pain out, Darius growls in pain.

"We'll make it right Bro, she'll be ours. We'll find her and she won't be able to run away from us. You know why? Because we'll lock her in our house and fuck some sense into her." I joke trying to distract his mind which he laughs heartily at my joke but know that's what we'll do when we find her.

"I wonder how your brain works most times bro, but I'm glad we have each other." He pulls away ruffling my hair fondly while I shove him playfully as he laughs. He has always been there for me countless times than I remember, now it's my turn to take care of him.

Daisy's POV

I look out my office window towards the busy New York city. The busy streets of cars hooting at passerby, passerby rushing to their destinations, birds flying in mass as the chirp in melody as the morning Sun gives life to it. How can life be so beautiful and yet we're so oblivious of the fact that we're not alone in this world. There can even be a huge bet they supernaturals or mystical beings they mentioned will be walking amongst us. Last week I had the perfect life, perfect sense of memory and perfect dates, but now, I can't feel safe without looking twice at a person and imagine weird stuffs or the fact I ran away because I freak out just the mere thought of them having fangs or not humans. I don't even know what I want from them anymore, staying away for a week have done no good to me, I still feel that pull to be with them but a girl got to take precautions at some point in her life right? Gosh I'm really cursed, literally the opposite of what I've been told all my life.

"Daisy? Daisy? Earth to Daisy, wake up!" A worried Addy looks frantically at me.

"Sorry didn't hear you calling." I shake my head bringing myself back to work.

"Yeah that's because you didn't hear me banging at your door or snapping my fingers to bring your lost soul back. Look at my knuckles, the hurt from knocking so much." Sarcasm drift off her tongue as she rolls her eyes.

I chuckle at her ridiculous attitude. "So what brings you here to my office, been long I got an August visitor."

"Well the fact you decided to shut me out for a week and no one knows what happened to the sexy favorite girl, news got around you were pregnant courtesy three fucketeers. I sent emails, text,Vns, calls and voila, you replied none." She scolds me.

"I'm sorry something came up and I needed to sort out myself, didn't mean to scare you." I tried to appease her spirit, imagine her in fury with her red hair not a picture I plan on this Monday morning.

"I know but they bosses have not been accommodating also, snapping at everyone, now

everyone is just avoiding them like cancer. We always wonder why their moods swings is nothing to dwell much on. Lucky enough no one has been fired as everyone has been on low- key." MFI, trust her for the latest gossip which won't deter me from my mission.

"What! Really, that's very bad and thanks for the info. I'll surely avoid their path. I'll see you during lunch okay and share my love to Jakey."

"You really look stressed, I hope you sort your problems, it looks like it's really taking a toll on you. Don't keep us waiting Barbie." I laugh at her nickname for me.

"Hahaha, very funny Addy. I'll be fine, I promise." I smile sweetly as she walked out of the room closing the door.

I leaned back to my seat, one week away and I can't stop thinking about them. I miss them in spite of what they told me during our date, they took me for the perfect date and I freaked out when they revealed themselves to me. Even if I lied to myself that I don't want them, my heart still beat for them. I can't even think straight in my hotel room, picturing Damian's cocky nature and Damon's possessive self. Their photo in my phone didn't help matters as I kept drooling at how sensitive they've been to me and good looking they were that day.

They're my hybrids, my mystical Royal beings and I'm their mate. Funny how it have a nice ring to it, this week have been hell for me not been around them and Jer was right. They've never hurt me since I came here, only showed me love. I think of my dream last night.

I saw myself in an open field of beautiful meadows, far away from where I stood I heard howling as if someone or something is hurt and calling for help. My help. I ran towards the sound to help the injured animal, I ran as fast as my feet could take me but it seems my aim was futile.

"Where are you? Please answer me I'm here ."

I heard the howling louder this time as I pick up my pace leading me to the forest, thankfully it was still day as I avoided tree trunks and cut branches that could impale me. Over the distance, I could see two figures which means I'm close. I ran faster towards them. Close enough I noticed that the trees and grasses have withered, ten feet away from the...omg what are---are these creatures? Everything look dead as they stood in the middle now whimpering in pain. They look up and saw me, it was them, those two weird wolves I saw

months ago.

I had to help them, their pain pang my heart like I was struck with a knife to my chest. I walk closer to them as they kept watching me sadly, I kneeled in between them to observe where their pain comes from but I saw no injury, my eyes trailing every inch of their fur body. They stop whimpering as I held them in comfort, I heard bones cracking as I watch in amazement till they look like my bosses again. I wasn't freaked out this time, my outstretched arms ushered them to my embrace as they came to snuggle close to me.

"You're not scared of us anymore." The one with Damian's face spoke.

"No, how can I be scared of what's mine.'" I see the smiles on their faces, epic.

"I thought you hate us, you ran away I felt like dying." Damon's face said looking down and sad, I rose his chin to look at me.

"I'm sorry, I'm here now and forever. I won't run anymore because I know I'm safe with you both. What are you names?'" I apologize smiling at their happy look.

"I'm Darius and he's Dimitri my other half. You are our mate that completes our bond."

That's all I could recall, I need to see them, they need to know I still love them and can't bare to see them in pain because of me. We're all hurting, so I need to make this right. I stood up from my seat, smoothen out my navy blue velvet gown with a yellow belt off any wrinkle on it and strode towards their office. I knock once, no answer, twice, nothing, after the third time I open the door. My heart broke at what I see in front of me. They held each other in embrace looking out the window, they look pained and weary. I wipe the tear that drop, this is my fault, they feel this way because of me.

"Damon? Damian?" The abruptly turn to my call with shocked faces, I stood still looking at them as they look back at me. They made no move at all, not even blinking. How do they do that? I walk closer to their desk as they still held me under their gaze thinking I'm a fiction of their memory.

"Princess? Baby girl? Is this really you?" They said in unison. I get their point as I smile so I move towards them by the window, my yellow strap heel clicking on the floor. I saw them breath in deeply, guess it's the scent they were talking about. I stood on my tip toe as I brought Damon's neck closer giving him a kiss, pulling away as I kiss Damian back to reality telling them I'm right here with them.

"I'm right here boys, always have always will. And I'm sorry about freaking out." I suck in air as they still stood emotionless watching me. "I just want to say I'm not giving up on us and will be by your side even if I'm a mere human girl who love two fine men that are hybrids." With that they crack a smile which got me smiling. "I'm ready to accept your baggage even if it's a huge one, I want to love the real you and to do that I want to see you without freaking out or running for the hills which a normal sane girl will do, but guess I'm not normal after all." I shrug giving them a wink as they burst out laughing and I swear my heart skip hearing their laughter. "My parents will freak out, my best friend may shut down but I know it's you both I want because you make me happy. I hate myself for hurting you both this past week but then I realized it's you I want, it's you I need and I'll follow you anywhere to the end of time." I look at them after my confession, their glistening eyes with unshed tears, pride and happiness. Yup, this is what I want for them, to affect them this much as they do affect me. They pull me in for a tight hug, this is where I belong, with them.

"Thank you so much, we thought we lost you forever." Damon cups my face caressing it fondly wiping a lone tear I never knew fell.

"You'll never loose me. So when will I get to see your uhm... people. Just wanna know how long before you're crowned." When in truth I needed to know how long before I'm strip from my single title.

"Few weeks from now for our coronation, but first we need to show you our kingdom where you'll be with us except you're not ready." Damian looks down sadly at my hand as he caress it.

"Don't worry, I want to see it all even your hybrids Darius and Dimitri. They're such big babies." I laugh at his glum facade.

"How...how did you know about them? Where did you see them?" They both ask at the same time with shock faces noticing their tensed looks.

"In my dreams, last night they called to me because they were in pains, they needed me and I'm sorry for hurting them also." I apologized once again as they gave each other a funny look at my revelation making that annoying eye contact.

"It's alright Princess, don't beat yourself up for it. We'll go Home tomorrow and show them our beautiful mate, they'll all love you." He assures me with a smirk.

"Can't wait. Alright boys I take my leave, see you tomorrow." I kiss them lightly on their cheeks taking my leave which they growled tugging me back in their arms as they ravish me. Smothering me in kisses which made me hot and bothered all over. Well I can skip work and lunch and fuck...yeah also home this night feeling them take me places eyes couldn't see.

Gosh I missed them so much.
