Daisy
It felt like days and months passed by as I stood with my attacker waiting for the supposed Alpha King in his office to come, but it was only minutes.
I could feel something life-changing about to happen to me, but I couldn't figure out if it was good or bad.
Maybe the latter.
My wolf was growling and pouncing in my head, which made me more unsettled, she made me nervous with her movement. It was unlike her to behave in such a barbaric manner, but I don't know much about her since she disappeared almost all my life and just came back.
The door opened slowly and almost painfully as I kept my head down, just like I had been warned to do and told not to do anything foolish in front of the alpha king so it wouldn't cost me my life or my father's head. The air was starting to suffocate me as the foot steps got louder, and suddenly I couldn't breath, my lungs were about to give up on me.
It felt like my judgment day.
The intoxicating smell was so strong, almost too strong, like it wanted me to die from just smelling it. It smelt like pine mixed with something else I couldn't figure out, and it smelt so good that I could taste it in my mouth.
The smell surprisingly calmed me, and I found myself wanting more of it, I wanted to bury myself in the smell, but I knew that was a luxurious wish on my part.
I lifted my head a bit and saw my attacker bowing down to a beautiful woman and then a man whose face I couldn't see clearly yet but who for some reason made my heart stop for a second.
Could he be the king?
"Alpha King E.. Elias, it's a pleasure to meet you," my attacker muttered out in fear while trying to act like a bad wolf, but then I saw the sweat on his face drop to the ground.
Pussy ass loser I thought to myself.
He acted like a tough nut to me, but now he couldn't form a proper sentence for himself. He was a loser who was only good at hitting women.
"I can't say the same," the Alpha King said in a soothing voice that sent butterflies to my stomach. He sounded like he would rather do other things than be here talking to him.
I could say the same thing myself, I would rather be out there running in the wild than be here in front of two men who could kill me with a snap of their fingers.
"I'm sorry for taking your precious time, Alpha King Elias," my attacker said, almost peeing on his pants, making me roll my eyes. He was truly embarrassing. This was truly fun to watch.
"Why are you here, Steven?" the king asked. His voice sounded so good, but I fought the urge to look at his face.
So that was my attacker's name, Steven. The name didn't suit him, I expected names like loser or stupid face, which suited him more.
"Wizard Oz asked me to deliver this gift myself," Steven replied back, pointing at me as the supposed gift, which brought all the attention from himself to me, and I lifted my head a bit to give him a quick glare.
I could feel my heart thumping out of
my chest, and the room felt like it was closing in on me. I felt tingles all around my skin, and I didn't know where they were coming from.
I quickly put my head down in fear of facing the alpha king himself, knowing the horrible stories I have heard about him. I was going to be sold as a slave to him for the rest of my life. I was so terrified, I just wanted to go home. My throat went dry. It felt like I could faint any minute.
I could only see the Alpha King's legs as I bent my head; it was built and strong, and my mouth watered as it watched his legs up to his waist line, suddenly curious to find out how big his manhood was.
Gosh I was acting like a horny high schooler, but one thing I was sure of was that I wasn't this horny, so it was probably my wolf triggering my reaction.
"Yes, blame the poor innocent wolf," my wolf winked in my head.
"Shut up," I slammed back at her. We were about to be sold, and she was finding the situation funny.
I concentrated back on the alpha, there was just something about him, the confident yet mysterious way he talked and carried himself, almost frightening, yet it somehow comforted me.
I didn't seem to notice, but I think he began walking toward me. I could feel him stop in front of me and feel his power coming off of him. The air in the room changed. It suddenly felt as if it were just the two of us in the room.
All of a sudden, I unconsciously lifted up my head to look up at his face as his head faced me, then his shoulders followed together with his whole beautifully sculpted body facing me, and to be sincere, time seemed to have stopped at that moment.
He was the most handsome person I have ever met; it is not like I have had the opportunity to meet so many males in my life. In fact, apart from my father and ugly Steven and his bullies, I haven't met any male wolves.
Back to the Alpha King blessing my sight, his eyes looked like they held hidden secrets and were a bit scary, making my knees go weak. I was dying to uncover all the secrets he kept to himself.
His bone structure was fine and perfectly symmetrical; it was manly and created by the moon goddess herself. He's probably taller than six feet; he has tousled brown hair, and his eyes were as blue as the ocean drowning me.
The urge to suddenly kiss his beautiful lips was so strong, but I found the courage to hold myself. I internally questioned myself for my reaction towards him, and the funniest thing was that my wolf was quiet and seemed to be enjoying the moment.
Aside from his features, there was
Something else that pulled me closer
to him, it was his scent, which was heavenly. He smelled like pine, fresh wood, and something fruity like citrus and cinnamon, gosh, his scent was so good, I resisted the urge to hug him.
My wolf was losing her mind yet kept silent; she was so happy and made me feel both happy and scared at the same time. My fear towards him overshadowed my happiness, so I fell my face back to the ground. I had a weird feeling that the moment I looked up at his beautiful face again, something was going to change, and I wasn't ready for that change.
I wasn't ready. I knew a day would come for me to meet face-to-face with my mate, but I never knew it would be this soon based on my attraction towards him. I couldn't also conclude if he was my mate or not since my wolf didn't say anything out loud but only showed reactions towards him. That wasn't enough evidence to prove he was my mate.
My face felt so hot, so I quickly turned to the side at the thought of the Alpha King being my mate, and I could feel his gaze burn the side of my face, probably trying to read me, but I kept my face blank.
Did he recognize me as his mate too?
No, it can't be; the moon goddess wouldn't be so cruel as to punish me with a mate like him. I was sure my reaction towards him was because of his handsomeness. There's no way Alpha King Elias was my mate. He would have said something too.
I felt Steven grab my hands, and I was forced to look up. I felt like vomiting from his touch.
"Foolish girl, can't you be respectful and bow to the Alpha King?" Steven attacker glared murderously.
I obeyed for a minute to look at the Alpha King again; he had this look that demanded respect, and with the strong aura he was oozing, there was no doubt he was the Alpha. A king who has led his people through many battles and won the war.
As I looked at his blue eyes, I wondered why I had been sold to him as a slave. That's a lie though. I was lost in the staring competition going on between us while taking in his scent. I didn't even notice when I was hit on the forehead by my attacker.
"Don't you dare look into the alpha king's eyes, you mutt," Steven sneered, but the sound of a loud growl was heard, and before I knew what was happening, I saw Steven laying on the floor with blood on his face. It all happened in a second.
Then it occurred to me: there was a huge probability that he was my mate, and maybe he could feel it too, which is why he defended me. But why didn't he say anything to me or touch me?
Or kiss me? Claim me as his?
"Son, be calm and don't lose your cool." A women said stepping in front of him and held him from causing more harm to Steven. She shared little resemblance with the Alpha King.
Then she looked at me and smiled. She smelled like flowers. Then she frowned and looked at me up and down as if she was analyzing if I was good enough for her son to have reacted the way he did. She finally smiled again. She was so beautiful and intimidating.
She was intimidating beautiful.
so intimidating, I could feel so much
power from her. I couldn't wait to be
alone, so I can breath from her and her son. I bowed my head in front
of her, she looked pleased. She turned toward the King Elias, and he stayed silent, only watching me like his favorite toy and not even regarding his mother.
He didn't utter a word at all. His mother went back to his side and
looked at him. I could tell they were
mind linking each other by the colour of their eyes, and then both his mother and my Steven left.
I swallowed the urge lump in my throat as they walked out, finally feeling relieved after a long time, and turned my body away from the alpha. I heard the door close, but I still smelt his scent in the air, and it was heavy, so I knew he was still in the room. It was left the two of us.
My throat is really dry, I needed water from his hotness. I could feel King Elias standing directly behind me, and his body heat against my skin, which made me shiver involuntarily.
The thought of being alone with him scared me so much. I felt his hot breath on my neck. He suddenly grabbed my waist and stuffed his nose into my neck. My body felt like it was on fire. I took a deep breath. His hand, which was on my waist, slowly turned me around to face him. Now I could see how rough his face was up close, the scars he had on his chin, and how sharp his jaw was.
"I have never seen a woman so beautiful except my mother, I almost thought I had a mate." He bunted out, and the butterfly in my tummy doubled.
Had a mate? So I wasn't his mate?
"Thanks," was all I could say, staring into his deep blue eyes, which captivated. From what I could tell, he wasn't an asshole. First impressions matter a lot to me, and he was sounding so sweet and complimenting me. Too bad I wasn't his mate, but I could tell he was attracted to me also.
"What's your name?" He asked.
His voice was so deep that every time
he spoke, it sent shivers down my spine.
"Daisy, Anabel, Anabelle." I said
confidently with a smirk, and I step away from his embrace. If he wasn't my mate, we weren't supposed to be in each other's embrace.
"Daisy, I love it," he said like he was tasting it, and I loved the way my name rolled out of his tongue, making me swallow the huge lump in my throat.
I wasn't here to play love when I knew the main reason why I was captured here as a slave. Until I was safe, I wouldn't dare flirt with him.
I looked at what the king was wearing. He was wearing simple pants and a shirt, and his hair was in his face.
"So you are the gift from wizard oz" He said, analyzing me. He was serious, there was no humor in his face.
I can't even deal with this right now.
My life was about to change. My life was practically in his hands, anything he does or say could either save or kill me.
I wanted to protest and shout at his face to let me go, but I heard myself back knowing it wasn't his fault why I was here. My wolf growled in my head, she obviously was already attached to him, but haven't stated why she was.
I was quiet for a long time, and I knew he was waiting for my response.
"I was taken against my will and brought here as a slave to you, so if you will excuse me, I want to leave now," I said and turned on my heel, expecting him to let me go and maybe I could come back to him at my own free will and we could hook up in the future, that's if I don't find my mate.
I have never walked so fast in my life to the door. I knew I was being so rude, and I could be killed for this, but what else am I supposed to do? I was content with my life, even though it was nothing.
"You dare not take any more steps, Diasy, or else you will be punished." He growled loudly and murderously, stopping me from opening the door. My hands shake, and I slowly turn back to look at him and saw red eyes staring at me with disbelief.
O oh...I got the Alpha King angry.
