Chapter 3

Daisy's eyes opened slowly and she found herself on a cold floor. She shivered and her teeth were chattering. Her body felt heavy too and she couldn't even move a finger.

Daisy recollected all that happened slowly. Her birthday party, her mate confessing to her sister, the rejection and her mate collaring her as a slave. His slave, his pawn. He called her a slave when he collared her and ohh, he vowed to make her pay for a crime that she never committed.

Sorrow gripped her heart. Daisy has never seen so much anger, rage and hatred in her entire eighteen years. Once he looked at her with dark intense deep blue eyes of his, she always felt she was already half dead.

The sudden footsteps coupled up with the rattling of chains drew her attention towards the door of the cell. The door flied open and a stoic looking man entered with a tray of food.

Daisy's stomach churned at the sight of the food. She has had nothing since yesterday morning and it looks like dusk now.

"The king will be here in a few minutes, be ready to face him! You degrading zeta criminal," The man snapped in total disgust. Everyone now hates her.

Fear shook the whole of her body as she is not ready to face King Damon even though it is inevitable. Would he believe her if she plead her case one more time?

**** *****

Daisy has lost her appetite because of fear. She waited anxiously in the cell. Moments later,  she heard steady strides followed by "My King" outside of the cell.

The sound of his footsteps alone sent shivers down Daisy's spines. In all her eighteen years, she has never been so scared.

The door flung open and Daisy jumped back in fear. It’s Alpha Damon. She wasn't dare looking directly at him but she could feel his hatred for her already.

 

Damon kicked the food before her and lowered his body to look at her, disgust flashing in his eyes. His hand reached out and grabbed her neck tightly. Daisy struggled to drag in breath.

"You evil zeta. You are just a beast. You can't even be called as a human. You don't deserve human food and human clothes!" He gritted in sheer hatred. He lowered his hand and ripped apart her upper wear, and her breasts was exposed in front of his eyes.

Despite his hatred towards her, Damon had to admit that Daisy is beautiful. He felt a tug at his heart every time he looked at her. But he didn’t understand why. Maybe because he has never seen a zeta werewolf before.

"I didn't do that to her, My King.....I didn't!” Daisy plead with a trembling voice.

His eyes glistened gold and he yanked hard on her hair.

"I am not your King. You will address me as master just like my slaves. You're not even worth to be a slave, to be my slave. Since apparently you are only a wild animal in collar." He said coldly.

A wave of pain and agony coursed through her body. She had always known that she was different, that she was a zeta wolf. But know he's calling her a beast, an animal. She wasn't even human in his eyes.

Damon took her silence as acknowledgement of the crime. Hurt prickled his eyes as he remembered the moments he spent with Meridith. It was short, but it was amazing. So amazing that it felt like magic.

How she looked like, her beautiful and gorgeous face, her angled cheek bones, her jutting jaw, her pointed chin....plump pouty lips and those large eyes that held fire yet innocence all at the same time.

Meridith was perfect, and yet Daisy ruined it. The more he thought of that, the more he hated Daisy for being the cause of his misfortune.

Damon didn't want to admit that Daisy's cries caused his chest to tighten. He shook it off and released his tight grip on her hair.

"Domenico,” he called his guard, while enjoying the terrifying look on Daisy’s face, “ I want this slave to suffer. To be humiliated in front of everyone. So, She will be paraded naked in the castle. First thing in the morning."

Tears of horror and humiliation sprout from Daisy's eyes. She fell on her knees instantly and begged to be killed instead. Paraded naked for a crime that she didn’t commit? And this order came from her mate? She couldn’t take it!

But Damon kicked her aside relentlessly and stormed out of the cell.
