Chapter 57 Daisy "Deep breaths," Yato murmurs from behindwhile gripping my outstretched arm. We are training out in the field, and he is trying to teachhow to summon a ball of light. "Now focus on the power coursing through your veins." I close my eyes and try to becone with nature, but Caleb interrupts me. "You can do this, Alpha!" he shouts. "I believe in you!" Irritation flares up inside me, and I open my eyes to glare at the grinning vampire. "Could you please shut the f*ck up? I'm trying to concentrate!" "Right away, Alpha!" He givesa 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 forsince he doesn't take offense to my vulgar language." My words are met with a hearty laugh 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 teachhow to summon my inner light. "Feel it," Yato murmurs. "The power is there. You just h have to tit." Another deep breath. Another surge of concentration. Then success. 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 flash 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 picnic blanket." "I'm sure you guys are hungry, so I have prepared sandwiches for you both. Oh, and sother treats!" "Great, I'm starving!" Yato rubs his hands tically 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 is complimented. "Thank you, Alpha Yato. It means a lot coming from you." Yato just grins. "I knew your new daylight ring would cin handy. I could never pull off a feast like this... Daisy, are you coming to join us?" 1/3 Get the App. Get All of XM ||| O XM DOWNLOAD NOW 10:56 Fri, May 17 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.

"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-Lola is one lucky girl.
After eating, the training continues until it turns dark. A car comes to pickup while Caleb runs off to the old pack house that has bechis and Lola's new home. Yato is living in the small village and so it's justwalking up the stairs to my room alone.
After I've walked up the last stairs, I see my door, but the corridor isn't empty. Isabella 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 tripfor the conversation I had with her mom. Unfortunately for Isabella, 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." Isabella 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 inwhen I hear those words, and even though Isabella 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, Isabella," I hiss, nostrils flaring. “I am too good for you. I'm not like you and your mother and Lina. I'm not okay with treating those beneathlike bugs, something you and your family did tofor 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 respectwith the srespect, 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—" 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?" Isabella scoffs, her eyes glaring 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 wantedeven 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 Isabella-the girl who had everything handed to her on a silver platter and still managed to treat everyone around her like dirt.

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 always have a way of finding you, Daisy?" It's Yato. He is leaning against the frof the door adjacent to mine. A grin is plastered on his face, but there's an unmistakable glint of respect in his eyes.
"I guess loves me,” I shrug offhandedly. "Or maybe it's because I've finally found my voice, and I'm not afraid to use Yato slaps a hand over his heart as though physically moved by my words. "Alpha Daisy, defender of Omegas, vanquisher of petty tics." 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 openly complimentary 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 accept your help?" SEND GIFT COMMENT Get the App. Get All of XM XM Depout BornE DOWNLOAD NOW ᄆ 10:56 Fri, May 17
