Chapter 6

Daisie POV

It’s been more than five days, I had completely been sold out to those people. I tried to hide everything from Jessica, but I forgot that she knew me in and out, just like a book. She knew despite being poor it has never for once gotten me depressed, but in the past five days she noticed a slight changes in my mood.

Last night, I thought because it was dark she wouldn’t been able to see the bruises on me. The one the Beta and his mated had inflicted on me as their slave, my life was now like a toy. And if I dare protest, I- I am scared I will die.. and I can’t die and leave Jessica all alone here.. no I can’t..

I had finished late just like the very first day I returned back late home. I had lied to Jessica that the work was bulky and everywhere was messy, so I had to spend some hours more to get the place completely tidy. I didn’t think I would be able to keep up with the lies, did I?

I swear, I can bear being in pains but I never for once wants to see Jessica cry or in pains. I would hate myself for that, I rather cry the tears for her, and carry the burden for her..

She called me for dinner, but for the very first time I rejected her food. I couldn’t go to the dinner table because she would see the bruises on my face, and the big injury on my back. The beta mate, burnt me last night! She said I was going to die anyway if I dare disobey her, she said it to my face that she loved seeing me in pains and screaming out loud. So she did that!

Unexpectedly, Jessica caught me last night! Yes, she saw every bruises on me.. You can imagine the expression on her face right? Her mouth was widely opened in shock, tears trickling down her cheek as she fall her knees to the ground in front of me. I was sitting right on the bed.

“ D-Daise what is this on you?” she barricaded her mouth with her hands from screaming out loud, she knelt in front of me trying to touch the bruise if there were really real, because she could not believe her eyes. She touched it and I cringed. I guess I shouldn’t have, because she started crying uncontrollably in front of me.

“ The truth, Daisie!” she whispered yelled, still on her kneels in front of me. I was feeling miserable already. For many things..

She knew I would never lie to her, and I even know that myself. “ You won’t believe it, I am a taboo to this pack, Jessica.” I try to suck in my tears, I don’t want to make it any worse for her or me.

“ Sigma?!” she knew what it was, so she was as stunned as I was the first time.

“ H-How come Daisie, how is that possible ?” her eyes are turning so ruddy, and I was responsible for that..

“ I- I am Sigma, Jessica. I am Sigma!” I burst out in complete agony. I thought I could be strong in front of her, but I lied. I lied, I couldn’t fight back the tears with the pains I could see in her eyes.

“ Oh my baby…” she yanked me to her shoulder, engulfing me tightly as the two of us cried so much on each others arms.

She pulled me out, wiping her tears, “ But that does not give answers to those wounds on you, Daisie!”

I told her everything. And she doesn’t need to hear from anyone what they do to Sigmas in this pack. Her nose began to run, as she held me tightly as the most precious thing in her life…

“ I’m sorry I can’t do anything to help you! I am so ashamed of myself, seeing my niece molested and I can’t do anything because she is going to get killed!” she ran out of my room immediately, that night she didn’t kiss me goodnight, she hated herself from that minutes. I made sure didn’t see my presence, when I sneaked to her room she cried all night.. she didn’t - couldn’t sleep..

I went to bed, crying too..

The morning came as a blur. I got up from my bed feeling so sick and tired. It was just early, I don’t have anything to do until night. Whenever I thought of it, I feel sickened..

 It was morning, and I should hear noises coming from the kitchen already. I do hear noises, whenever she was in kitchen doing the cooking or either doing the dishes, but now nothing.. I was hearing nothing..

I slide out of my bed, wearing the slippers beside my bed. “ Good morning Jessica!” I announced before getting to the kitchen, but it turned out Jessica was not there! Where is she? As she gone to work without telling me?

“ Jessica are you in there?” I went to the toilet screaming her name, no answers.. I pushed it open but there was nobody in there.

I had started walking towards the living room when I saw a note, on the table. A little old crap table. “ Hey, honey. I am out for work. I left you food, please eat well and stay happy I love you!” I read it out loud. Then I hugged the paper, whispering I love you too.

I knew because of what I told her last night, she wouldn’t be able to look me directly in my eyes when it dawn. I think it hurts her more when she sees the bruises, so she avoided seeing me this morning. But how long would she continue with that? How long would she tolerate me being messed up like this?

I sucked back the tears trying to stream down my eyes. I kept the paper out neatly somewhere. Jessica has prepared me some meals, I would have to take my bath before checking the food out!

The time moves quickly and so fast, so as the day was gradually and slowly getting dark. The more it gets darker the more my fears crawls back to my skin.. The more I feel very scared, as if something unusual is going to happen. Could it get any worse?

“ Jessica!” I glimpsed at her from the porch, I wanted to run and hug her but she quickly threw her glance off me to the other side. It was as if she was avoiding me.

“ Daisie, I hope you ate your food? And tell me how do you feel?” she was asking, but she wasn’t looking at me. She pretend to be doing other stuff.

I understood. I didn’t say anything to her, instead I gave her the answer that I know would make her feel better. After that I walked about into my room, I don’t want her seeing me as well, because I hate those tears in her eyes.

After some hours, it was truly dark now. And I began to lowly shake as if something was piercing into me.

I got dress, and ready to resume work. “ I have to go now Jessica..” I was backing her and I was already on my way out into the cold night.

For the first time since last night, she turned me towards her as she held me on my arms. I tried not to flinch again when she held the place where the Beta's mate inflicted wounds on. I didn’t scream but she saw the pains in my eyes, and her saw the expression on her face as if her heart was breaking into pieces as she stood in front of me.

“ Daisie, tell me what can I do to stop making you go through this pains?” tears filled the brims of her eyes. She pushed her hands away from the place hurting me.

My eyes too was getting blur by tears, “ Nothing Jessica,” I held her hands softly, they were sweaty.. “Just know I will be fine, alright?” I wiped the tears from her cheek. She nodded but she didn’t seem convinced. I don’t think she would ever do.

“ I have to go now.. I’m getting late.. I don’t want those demon finding any fault.” I pulled out of her hold.

She didn’t say anything. When I turned back to take one more glance at her, she wasn’t crying anymore and she was staring at me as though she was in between tears and happiness. I couldn’t quite understand what that meant before I went out of sight..

I entered the Beta house and I saw, his mate sitting on the couch .. Glaring at the wall clock and glancing at me at the same time. “ You are late by ten minutes!” she lashed out, like a whip. I don’t know but my blood went cold.

“ I-I came as early as I could ma’am..” I stuttered.

“ As you could?” she widened her eyes.

“ What are you? What do you think you are?” she rose up.

“ You are a fucking slave. Your life is in my hands, I decide whether you die or not!” she yelled to my face.

I was saying nothing, she just kept pouring out her nasty behavior at me.. until boom! She suddenly brought something out. And oh boy! It threw me off my balance..

“ This is you punishment, and if you refuse then you know the outcome, you are going to die!” she bent, whispering in my ears. “ Now put your legs into it!” Isn’t that silver liquid? I - I should put my legs inside?? my eyes are real wide open.

“ No please.. I can’t.. it would damage my legs..” I stuttered.. eyes getting soft, and tears about to break out..

“ Do it now!” a loud voice, making me tremble suddenly boomed in the room..

His eyes was rigid.. smells of evil. So much. “ Y-yes…” I had started crying, shutting my eyes closed as I gradually put my legs inside.. oh damn, I screamed so much like the heaven is going to come out..

“ You losers! You are meant to be in the pit of hell!” as I was crying, I heard a familiar female voice..

“ Jessica! What are you doing here?!” I was shocked.

“ Daisie get out of that right now!” she said in her broken voice, as if she has been crying which was obvious. I couldn’t move, she walked towards me and dragged me out of the bowl.. oh god this is not good.. something is about to happen right now.. what was she doing here?

“ I will not let you two torture my niece this way ever again!” she immediately grabbed my hands, pushing me out the door. Then she locked both herself, and those two monsters inside the house.

“ Daisie run now! No one would be able to hurt you again,” she screamed, fear, cold.. everything horrible started running through my veins.. “ Go from here Daisie! Run out of the pack and never come pack!” I heard her screaming that, and amidst that, I was hearing other screams coming from her lips.. as if the was being choked or something..

“ Jessica, I can’t no!” I screamed back, trying to run back, but she screamed again..

“ DAISE DON’T BOTHER ABOUT ME, RUN PLEASE FOR MY SAKE!” she screamed, I began crying so much, this was so hard. Why had things decide to turn out this way, I was still standing.. crying.. my legs couldn’t move..

The all of the sudden, I was not hearing her voice anymore… a strange cold kiss on my skin.

“ No! Jessica.”

“ Jessica please come out of that place!” I broke down in tears, I wasn’t hearing her voice anymore.. what was happening…

 Someone pushed open the door and it was the Beta!

Oh no.. Daisie run!!!

I started running fast, I climbed the fence immediately, I didn’t know how but I did.. I ran into the wood, but he was chasing me and other men were chasing me too.

This isn’t funny, my mind was in a mess the whole of me was in a mess!

 As I ran into an oak tree, I started hearing the sound of wild wolves, are they rogues? I was told rogues lives in the wood.

Oh no! Now I feel like I was surrounded, the rogues in front of me, and the Beta's men are behind running towards me!

I heard their footsteps getting closer, I shut my eyes saying my last prayers, goddess I hate you for bringing me to this world.

'' Roar!'' The heavy bloody eyes were face to face with me, the whimper got stuck in my wide pipe, I hadn't expected them to come this quickly, I had underestimated the power of their noses.

One was not enough, two was a short in number, three was a big lie, four I was dead meat, some were latched into the thick dark forest, I could only see the eyes, it was like a flashlight.

'' Help!!!'' I didn't know why I screamed that, when everything seemed impossible in front of me, the sharp fangs hovered over my head.

In the blink of an eye blood splashed into my face, I thought it was my own blood. I sniffed the fresh smell, why the heck am I still alive? I had shut my eyes closed already, to welcome my salvation. I manage to open it and I saw them all dead in front of me.

'' Oh bloody shit!'' I shouted, trembling under the big oak tree, I saw a huge figure in the dark, only the eyes were bold, and I saw thick misery and pleasure at killing these rogues in his eyes, I didn't catch the colour but I know they were the same as the forest-dark.

'' Mate!'' A growl escaped his lungs, in the void thick forest the wind blew the voice to my eardrum. I hadn't believed anyone that called me mate, no I stopped believing since my wolf had never called anyone my mate, besides she had gone silent since the night of the mate gathering, but for some reasons I felt my wolf leapt alive.

'' mate-“ I said lowly, as though I was about to pass out.. I buried deep into the cold snow…
