Chapter 4

Damon was in rage. He left the dungeon and headed towards his royal palace, a place where he wouldn't hear Daisy’s cry for help. He proceeded into his office, his jaw tensed with fury.

"Why would I not want to hear her scream?"

Damon didn't want to admit that Daisy's cries caused an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

He walked towards the liquor cabinet in his office and settled for a drink to calm himself down. He spent the next moments thinking and contemplating about what to do with his life. He needed to find a queen. What is a kingdom without a queen? And his subjects are becoming suspicious, especially those questioning his position as a king as he is mateless.

Oh now, he has a queen but half of her face is ruined!

But it no problem, he will still make Meridith his Luna, and Daisy will suffer the rest of her life under their rule. Damon thought, but his thinking was interrupted by a intense knock at his door.

"Come in," he tilted his head to the sides as he already knew who was at the door. Not surprisingly, Carlos walked into the room.

"Carlos, what are you doing here?" Damon asked as he doesn't want any disturbance since he knew his brother could be a nuisance.

"Nothing. I'm just wondering why a woman is being tortured in your dungeon. Remember, our mother raised us up as king so we can treat every woman as queens," Carlos said, finding a seat for himself.

The two remained in silence for several minutes, frowning at each other, and as the silence stretched, it became more awkward.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Meridith, Damon but I do not think that Meridith is your mate" Carlos finally broke the prolonged silence.

Damon smirked. "Look here, I'm in no mood for your derision."

"I am not mocking you, My King" Carlos replied, seriously. "Meridith is the first daughter of the Ivan's. I've run into her on several occasions, parties and stuff. If she were to be your mate, you would have sensed her smell on me a long time ago."

"If you have nothing to say to me, you had better leave," Damon snapped. Carlos' words make some sense, but once he started to thinking about it deeper, a head-splitting headache interrupted him.

"Damon, that lady in the dungeon hasn't seen the outside world for 18 years. Do you really think she is capable of such crime as soon as she gets out?”

"Leave Carlos! You are speaking nonsense. If I do not know better, I would have said you had a hand in Meridith's misfortune," Damon gritted, harshly.

"What!" Carlos gasped. "The alcohol is really taking the better part of you, but I would advise you not to kill Daisy"

"And why should I listen to you?" Damon smirked.

"Because if you kill her, you will never know the truth. I'm very suspicious of everything going on. I’m only asking you to wait a few more months and you may finally see the truth," Carlos explained.

All Damon did was to dutifully wave at Carlos, not taking his words seriously.

****** ******

Daisy's leg shook in fear and cold, as she stared at the ground with her very blurry vision. She is completely naked.

Through her blurry vision, she could see the lust behind the guards’ eyes and the only thing she could do was to plead for mercy.

"Can I get a taste of her?" One of the guards asked.

"Get out, the king didn’t order that" another guard replied.

One guard went out and she was left with a single man, the same man with a grim expression. The man who served her food earlier. His cold eyes never left her and once he got to her, he grabbed her breast with his palm, squeezing it till the blood drained out of her flesh. Daisy dared not to fight back. She could only groan in pain, as shameful tears ran down her cheeks.

The guard, Domenico, showed her no mercy. "Don't think you can be safe with me. Sooner or later, you will be ours to own, as our king would want nothing to do with a murderer. By then, we shall have some fun." He lets out a cold laugh.

Daisy tried to get away from him but his hand holding her breast tightened, stopping her from any useless struggle.

Daisy obeyed when he finally released her breast. She found her trembling legs leading her to the dungeon gate. She was to be paraded in the castle naked with the slave collar on her neck, and all of her families and citizens would see her naked body.

She couldn’t think of anything more humiliating than this.

As she matched out, Domenico's eyes flashed out with lust.

Staring at the very rare dark beauty, he had just one thing in mind. He wants to fucking own her. He wants to dirty her up. He wants to lay her flat on her back and fuck her so hard until that angelic face of hers glazed with pain that comes from desires.

Her gorgeous body has drawn his darkness. His need to own her, but he had to be patient for now. But he is damn sure that the king would soon release her to his subordinates for them to do whatever they like with her…

"The future queen has arri--"

"Do not announce me!"

Daisy’s head snapped up as she knew who was coming. Her devilish sister!.

With The rattling of the door, and Meridith appeared in the cell that she was kept.

"How are you little swine?" Meridith drew a taut. She took off her mask and Daisy was shocked as there was no trace of injury on her face.

"You!" She pointed accusing fingers at Meridith, she couldn't help but to tether to the edge of insanity.

The dam finally broke!
