Daisy
(+28)
“Why are you lying?” I open my eyes and look over to Tristian in confusion. Lying? “Dahlia would never do something like this. Are you being petty now? Well, it isn’t going to work!” He lets me go and steps back. Petty? Why would I be petty?
“I-I’m not lying…!” I stammer before cowering under his harsh glare. What did I do?! “W-why would I lie? Petty? I’ve stayed away all this time… why would I…?”
He doesn’t let me finish. “Why else? You want to ruin her reputation.” Wait what? Why would I ever want that? “Stay away from us. If I hear that you’re trying to frame Dahlia again, I’ll throw you into the dungeons and throw away the key.”
My body goes cold and I start to tremble. Why is he doing this? I have never lied once in my life unless I was taking up for Dahlia when we were younger. Does he think that lowly of me?
“A-alpha! W-why…?” Tears burn in the corners of my eyes. “W-why… won’t you believe me…?”
“You probably did this to yourself,” As he dismisses my feelings, my blood turns cold. I did this to myself? Like I asked for this? “Get better soon so you can get back to work! What good are you otherwise?” He then leaves without another word.
I feel speechless and just lie there staring up at the ceiling for the longest time. What good am I? “Ha…” I let out the smallest of laughs and close my eyes. I don’t feel like crying anymore at least.
‘He’s not worth it.’ Naomi tells me. ‘And if his wolf doesn’t step up, I’m going to reject him. This is ridiculous!’ I couldn’t agree with her more if I tried. For her to be thinking about rejecting Tristian’s wolf means she can’t take much more of his attitude
and actions.
‘Get some rest, Daisy. I’ll be here to protect you when you need me. Naomi promises and feeling comforted, I doze off
***
A couple of months have passed since Tristian rejected me and to say my situation in the pack has gotten worse is an understatement. Tristian has made it his mission to make my life as miserable as possible all because he didn’t believe me.
Even with all my protests, I am also being trained to be Grayson’s personal Omega, meaning I’m to be cleaning and cooking only for him and his family. Of course, this is merely an excuse for him to be able to do whatever he wants to me in the future but the more I protest, the more I’m trained.
Tristian is the petty one at this point! And I can do nothing about it because of our ranks. I’m glad he’s not my mate anymore! Naomi agrees with me on that too and I can always feel her ready to blow up.
Naomi is a sweet wolf but she can be rather spicy. Luckily she’s never gotten that way in front of anyone as I’m always in control. Honestly, I think she belongs to someone strong rather than someone like me. She doesn’t feel like an omega she- wolf at all.
“We need everyone to get into gear!” Freda, the oldest and highest ranked Omega calls out to us. “There’s going to be a party tomorrow so we need to get all the food ready.” She pauses and hesitates before looking over at me with pity.
I have a bad feeling about this and my suspicions are confirmed when she continues. “Daisy, dear, you’ll be entertaining Gamma Grayson during the party so you’ll need to go and pick a dress out.”
I freeze and hold myself as a wave of dread comes over me. Grayson has been getting more bold and handsy with me as of late and it just makes me feel disgusted.
“Ok, Freda. Thank you for warning me.” I say with a small sigh. She gives everyone else their assignment before leading me away. Samuel shoots me a sad look before going to do his work. All the other omegas seem to know and pity me but what can they do?

Chapter 9
Freda takes me over to Grayson’s house and my unease just continues to grow. “Do you want me to stay?” She asks me softly. I know she would if I said so but I don’t want her to get in trouble. She’s a sweet lady and always fair to everyone.
“No… I’ll be ok.” I smile weakly and sigh. “Good luck with everything,” I add and she pats the top of my head. Her look of pity makes me feel worse and I watch her leave.
I turn back to the door and carefully knock silently praying to the Moon Goddess that he won’t be here. I’m relieved to see it’s Bella who answers instead of Grayson.
Bella is his little fifteen sister with black hair and green eyes. She’s a Gamma like her brother and training to be a warrior in our pack. “Oh, it’s you.” She lets out an annoyed sigh. “Come in… I don’t know why Gray wants you so badly.” She mutters and walks off.
I step inside and look around. “Look… just go upstairs to his room and choose one of the dresses on his bed. I can’t be bothered with a thing like you.” Bella waves me off and goes back to sit on the couch.
I nod and swallow hard before walking up to Grayson’s room. His scent isn’t fresh which I’m grateful for as I don’t want to deal with his touchy hands right now.
I make it to his room and open the door. I’m then stunned by the so-called dresses on his bed. Aren’t those just strings? My face pales and I hold myself. They would barely cover anything on me. I feel rather sick as I step over to them.
One is black and red and reminds me of lingerie. It would only go down to my upper thighs and show too much cleavage. Another is green and black and I fear it wouldn’t even cover my ass. The last one is blue and white. It is modest compared to the rest, but still way too much.
Why is he doing this to me? Does he see me as a slut? I’ve never even kissed a boy before! Not even hand-holding! I tremble and grab the blue and white dress. I’ll put on a jacket over it and put on leggings. That’s the only way it would work.
