She observed him exhale deeply, stating, “I shall issue it as a command.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief; he would never do that.
“Please return to your room.” He relinquished her arm and trailed her outside, observing as she contemplated disregarding him. She gazed at him, and he was directly observing her. She averted her gaze from him and bit her lip. She already had numerous orders pending. What was an additional one? She approached the front door, thinking, ‘Screw it,’ when she encountered Alex and Cole directly in her way.
“Pardon me,” she communicated telepathically.
Apologies, Daisy. “Beta’s orders are to return to your room,” Alex informed her.
She turned to Mason, who merely raised an eyebrow at her. He subsequently turned and re-entered the Alpha’s office. It appeared she had no alternative. She pivoted and returned to her chamber. Alex and Cole accompanied her to her destination.
“I merely wish to see my family,” she expressed to them at her door, hoping for their comprehension.
“I apologise, but Joe’s order is equivalent to Caelan’s Daisy.” Alex regarded her, appearing to comprehend her predicament yet unable to assist.
She entered her room and shut the door. She sank onto her couch and sighed, attempting to access a link to her stepmother. It was immediately severed. She attempted once more, only to face rejection again.
She had never formed a connection with either of her sisters previously, as they had not possessed their wolves when she departed and were unaware of how to establish such a bond.
Without being physically present to observe them for direct engagement. She believed this could not be the end; there must be a means to visit them. She needed to leave the pack-house, so she could utilise the omega stairs and traverse the woods to approach their residence without Mason ever finding out. She approached the door and opened it, discovering Alex leaning against the wall. “Are you departing somewhere?”“He inquired.”
She slammed the door shut, seemingly vigilant to obstruct her from departing. There was an additional method. One she anticipated would provoke their ire, yet it was inevitable. They cannot prevent her from visiting her family. Approached the wind and elevated it completely. The distance to the ground was approximately 10 to 12 feet. Cast a fleeting look at the door. That was the Gamma present. If he were attempting to perceive anything, he might discern her impending actions.
Re-entering the pack-house would pose a more significant challenge. There was no means of ascent from the ground to return here. She would need to pass through the pack-house, thereby notifying them of her departure. With Alex present in the hall, it indicated that they would be aware of her descent from the window.
Caelan would likely become enraged; did she truly desire his ire directed towards her? She shut her eyes.
She understood the reason for his aversion to her proximity to the balcony and being elevated above the ground. She could easily envision the fury he would unleash upon her upon discovering the truth. She opened her eyes, walked away, and collapsed onto her bed; she would need to seek an alternative solution.
She remained in her room throughout the day, not exiting for a moment, and when Mason entered with dinner, she merely turned over and away from him, continuing to lie on her bed. She had essentially been present throughout the entire day. He positioned himself on the bed adjacent to her. “I acquired your preferred choice,” he remarked.
She harboured significant doubts; she had been absent for an extended period, and her preferences had evolved. She was no longer the same individual she had been during her last visit to the pack.
“Please, Daisy, refrain from the silent treatment.”
Daisy could employ the silent treatment as much as she wished; however, she had yet to regain her voice, thus he would have to endure the situation.
He sighed, “You must consume something; how can Amelia facilitate your recovery if you neglect proper nourishment?” He leaned closer to her, “Daisy, please.” I acted solely to safeguard you.
She questioned the rationale behind the harm in visiting her family to elucidate that she had not desired Caelan’s actions. Her family posed no threat to her. It has never occurred.
Heard him exclaim, “Do not behave this way, Daisy; I disapprove.”
He ought to have considered it prior to assigning guards to her. To ensure she was completely immobilised. She was compelled to return here. Constrain her joyful, tranquil existence to confinement within this room akin to a detainee. Indeed, she was as much a captive as her father. It was exceedingly painful.
“Daisy,” he extended his hand and made contact with her. She distanced herself from him, and he made no further attempts. He rose and sighed, “Please consume something, if not for yourself, then for Amelia,” before exiting the room. She gazed across the room. She was hungry but preferred solitude.
He sat up and gazed at the tray he had positioned on the bed upon rising. A cup of tea, a plate of roast pork with baked vegetables, and a slice of mango cheesecake were present. Her enjoyment of those activities does not compensate for his decision to assign guards to her and confine her to her room.
She sat and consumed her meal distractedly. She was perplexed as to why she was unable to visit them. What if she did not proceed alone? What if she accompanied someone? A potential compromise. After consuming her meal, she rose to return her tray, discovering no one outside her room. She glanced in both directions and noted that, although the door was unguarded, Cole and Alex were seated on the stairs ascending to the second floor. Relocated to a greater distance.
She disregarded them while traversing the hallway, observing Alex’s eyes become vacant as she fixed her glare upon him. Dibber dobber, she mused, then proceeded down the stairs and observed MASON exiting the Alpha’s office, subsequently averting her gaze from him. She would not engage in conversation with him. She could at least identify an alternative companion to accompany her. It is possible that Ella would accompany her.
She placed the dishes in the washbasin and stored the tray before turning to see Mason approaching her. She sidestepped him and exited the dining room, encountering Lydia approaching from the opposite direction.
Seized the woman and attempted to establish a mental connection; failed and frowned, then tried again.
