Chapter Forty Four: All Good
Daisy
***

"Thank you so much for coming...you'll never know how much this all meant to me." My sister said, her eyes tearing up a little as we told her goodbye.

She pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you Daisy, please try and be happy."

I smiled, "I am happy Anise."

She shook her head, "When you called me you sounded really happy, but seeing you here...theres a sadness in your eyes."

I rolled my eyes, "Just sad to say goodbye...but call me when the baby get's here and I'll rush right over."

She looked at me with concern and while I love my sister I hated that her concerned look reminded me of all the looks I use to get before Cade came along...everyone worried about it, or trying to show me sympathy.

"I promise I'm fine, or at least I will be once I get home...I've got some stuff I've got to do." I admitted. "But once I get that done I think I'll be all good."

Her delicate brows pulled together in curiosity but didn't say anything else.

Mom told her bye next and soon we took off.

"Mom...Would it be alright to just drop me off In Ironsmith on the way...I told dad I'd have to go back anyways."

She looked at me and smiled, "Honey, normally I wouldn't mind seeing as we do have to go near enough to the Ironsmith pack but, I have a feeling this will take longer than a couple of minutes and if I drop you off how will you get home?"

I understood and she was right, I suppose I would need an exit plan.

"How about we go home, and if you still want to go to Ironsmith then you can take your car, go and come when you want."

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." I said, and even though I was happy to have gotten to see my sister I now sat in the passenger seat with a hollow feeling deep in the pit of my stomach.

I knew I'd have to face Cade when I go to his pack later today, and as much as I missed him and wanted to be near him I don't think I could stand seeing his disappointment in me like he had shown the day he sent me home.

I had thought about texting him too, just to check in on him...but I figured I was the last person he wanted to talk to right now.

I hoped that Ieston had filled in Blithe, she had every right to know what was going on.

My heart hurt for her as well. She never asked for any of this and I blamed Ieston entirely. I would never be able to forgive him if given the chance and I know that's not very big of me, but he hurt everyone, by admitting the truth.

I wasn't too concerned with my own feelings as I had buried those feelings deep down a long time ago...but I was pissed that he had hurt Blithe and Cade with this, and I couldn't help but wonder how this would effect the pack.

I hated him.

I sat in the car as my mom sang along to the radio and I looked out the window.

I didn't know what I'd even say to Cade when I get to Ironsmith...hell for all I know he would see me and banish me from his lands.

"Mom?"

"Mhmmm..." She sounded, still driving.

"So you know how I told you everything lastnight right?"

She nodded and glanced over at me with worry.

"Could you not tell Dad...he'll get pissed and it's really not worth it."

She nodded once again and sighed this time. "You hardly have to tell me, but I promise your secret is safe with me...also please refrain from using foul language Daisy, it's rather unbecoming of a lady."

"Thank you...Mom, do you think I should apologize even though I didn't really do anything?"

"Apologizing to each other is a start, and you weren't exactly honest with him from the beginning...while I love you and fully back you as my daughter...I can't help but feel like all of this could've been avoided had you told him about your rejection much sooner, by you not telling him I can see how he'd take it more personally than most."

I sighed because I knew she was right.

"So I'll apologize and then what...what if he doesn't accept my apology?"

"Then it's his loss...at least you'll know you told him the truth and your concience will be clear." She said.

I was worried.

"Don't worry." She said with a small smile, "I have a feeling things will go better than you're expecting." She sounded knowingly.

"I'd hate to get my hopes up, I mean one minute he's asking me to be his Luna and then the next he's asking me to leave his pack." I said sadly.

"What answer would you have given him had the whole Ieston debacle never occured."

I blushed, "I had given it some thought...and being with Cade jut makes perfect sense to me and that's why I was going to accept...I mean of course I would have told you and Dad, but...honestly mom, he's everything I've ever wanted in a a partner...everything is just so easy with him ya know?" I sighed contently, "I hate that even though I'm sad right now he still makes me so happy just thinking about him."

"Well, seems like you have a lot to think about before we get home then."

And she was right, I still wasn't sure what I'd say to Cade when I get to Ironsmith and for sure I didn 't know how I'd keep my wolf from reacting.

I sat and thought about every bad scenario that could happen. Him refusing to see me, him seeing me and yelling at me, him asking me to leave again, Blithe pissed at me after learning the truth, thinking I went to the pack to get my mate back or something.

When we pulled up to the house I was so distracted in my thoughts that I didn't even get my bags off the trunk of the car.

I walked into the house and saw my dad sitting in the family room, when he he saw me he stood up and I noticed his guest also stood.

My wolf stirred as we wached the man stand. I got more than excited to see Cade.

My wolf felt his and he smirked and stepped toward me, but I acted without thinking and rushed over to him.

I didn't care that Cade might have hated me, I didn't care that my parents were right there, and I didn't care about anything else in the entire world as I ran over to him, jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck as I pulled his head down so that his lips touched mine.
