*Arianna's POV*
"Oh save it Arianna!" Ciara spat. "You getting rejected shouldn't come as a surprise to you, after all, nobody wants an omega for a mate and not even the Alpha. The moon goddess made a mistake by pairing you with the Alpha, but thankfully, that mistake has been corrected." She laughed and then she kissed Carter again.
I knew Ciara hated me, in fact, she was my worse bully, but I didn't know she hates me this much, my own sister whom I love so much.
I've done so many things just to earn the love of my family, but no matter what I do, I just can't change the way they feel about me and it breaks my heart so much.
"I didn't call you here to hear your silly words Arianna, go wait for me in the room opposite ours." Carter said.
"No! I'm leaving, I refuse to stay here for a single second!" I turned to leave but Carter's voice stopped me.
"Go wait for me in the room opposite ours." He commanded and this time, I couldn't resist his command.
I tried so hard to fight his power off but it was useless and in the end, I did as he instructed.
When I went to the room, I was surprised to meet some girls about my age and what shocked me the most was what they were putting on, they only had on bras and panties.
"W what is this place?" I muttered to myself.
I was starting to think I might have come to the wrong room and when I tried to leave, I found out the door has been locked already.
I struggled to open it but it was of no use.
"Save your strength, you're not in the wrong room." I heard someone say and I turned to see a girl with red hair approaching me.
"Where am I? What is this place? Why are you all here?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough." She replied, adding to my confusion.
I was starting to have a really bad feeling about this and I couldn't bear staying here any longer. I ran back to the door and continuously banged on it with my whole strength.
Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open, I managed to maintain my balance so as not to fall due to the force that was used in pushing the door open.
Carter had a very furious look on his face, but I couldn't care less, all I want is to get out of this place and go home.
"Let me go Carter! What is this place? I want to go home!" I screamed at him.
"Is there a time you aren't screaming and it's Alpha to you, call me by my name once more and I'll make sure you regret it." He threatened darkly.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as a great fear suddenly gripped me.
"Please let me go, I promise I won't bother you if you do." I pleaded, but instead he scoffed.
"You wouldn't even dare to anyways. If you want to get out of this place alive, then the least you can do is follow the orders you're given obediently or you might loose your life."
"Now strip!" He ordered.
My eyes widen with shock. "What? What do you mean?" I asked fearfully.
"Can't you see how the others are? You do the same." He replied.
I shook my head negatively. "N no I can't, I won't do that, I just can't!" I refused.
Carter groaned loudly, then he rubbed his temples, he was looking so frustrated right now. "There's only one way to deal with you."
He instantly took off his belt and in a flash, he whipped me with it, the first stroke landed on my shoulder, causing me to scream in pain.
"Please, please stop, please forgive me." I cried out in pain but Carter was only just starting with me.
He continued whipping me with his belt and there was nowhere for me to run to, the only time he stopped was when he has had enough.
"This should teach you to respect orders Arianna!" He barked. "Now strip or you'll be rewarded with another beating!"
I didn't bother arguing with him this time, I slowly took of my dress, leaving me in just my bra and panties.
Carter smacked his lips as his eyes roamed around my body. "You'll do." I heard him whisper before leaving.
I instantly fell to the floor and I cried my eyes out, no one will be coming to rescue me and I have no idea what Carter is planning on doing with me.
"You should have done as you were told to in the first place. If you want to live then don't argue, we are omegas and you should know what that means and how we're treated."
"It's time to wake up and face the reality now, crying won't help you in anyway, you'll have to be strong for yourself from now on." The red haired girl from before said but I was in so much pain to even listen to the rest of the things she has to say.
I gave what the red haired girl had said and realized that what she said was nothing but the truth. I need to wake up and face the reality, a bitter truth that can't be denied.
My existence alone is now like a curse to me, but I need to be strong for myself, the question is. Can I be?
It didn't take long for Carter to return and when he did, he instructed us to line up and then he led us all to a very large hall, I have no idea what's about to take place. I was scared and helpless.
We were all put on stage in front of a large audience and after studying the environment and everything, it then dawned on me what was about to take place.
We are getting sold!!!
*Arianna's POV*My eyes scanned the crowed and I saw my family among them, but from the look on their faces, I realized that indeed they were in on this too.I shut my eyes tightly as hot tears rolled down my cheeks, the pain this time was even greater than the pain I had felt when Carter rejected me and right now, the least I can do is not to care anymore and just accept my fate, everyone has abandoned me, even the goddess herself has turned her back on me.The light was focused on me, making me the center of attraction.Carter who acted as the auctioneer himself then called out the starting price for me, "We have a beautiful young lady here, starting bid at $20,000."The men in the crowd began placing their bids, "I bid $30, 000!""I offer $50, 000!" another man shouted.The price continued to rise as more men joined in the bidding, and my heart sank with each new offer. I couldn't believe that I was being sold like an object with meaningless value and I have no idea what my fate wo
*Arianna's POV*I felt someone's presence in my room and I hurriedly sat up. It's so late already and I should be asleep, but I found it so hard to fall asleep, hence the reason I'm still awake."Who's there?" I asked fearfully since the person's face was yet to be revealed."If you don't show yourself then I'll scream." I threatened."In my own home?" Luciano replied as he stepped into the light.I was surprised to see him here, I quickly got down from the bed and I bowed in respect. "Alpha." He walked to where I stood and after looking at me for sometime, he took a sit on my bed."I didn't specify what your duties here are before." He said.My body was literally trembling, I was nervous and scared at the same time and I would love nothing more than to be a thousand feets away from him right now. I haven't forgotten what he said to me before, nor the hatred I saw in his eyes, he looked so bitter and he directed that anger at me before, a man like this is certainly capable of doing a
**Arianna's POV** "Let's get started with your next punishment." He tells me and that mischievous smirk on his face grows larger. A feeling of dread starts to grow in my heart. I have a feeling that whatever he has planned for me is going to be really bad. I try to back away from him towards the door hoping that nobody is on the other side and maybe I'll be able to escape but deep down even I know that it won't work but I have to try, I can't go through what I went through last night again. I'd rather die. I started to back away towards the door and one of the floor board creaks. "And where exactly do you think you're going?" Luciano asks me with rage in his eyes. Tears well up in my eyes, knowing I've been caught. "Please Alpha Luciano, I don't know what I have done to you but please let me go. I promise I'll go far away from here and you'll never have to see me again." I tell him hoping that he'll really let me go. He starts laughing maniacally. "Let you go? Y
**Arianna's POV** The guards bow their heads and open the doors. Luciano walks in and me and Davison follow behind him. The room we walk into is nothing short of amazing. There are huge columns and the ceiling is made of glass bringing in natural light. At the end of the room is a huge throne which I'm assuming belongs to Luciano and in the middle of the room is a beautiful intricately designed table with chairs that have the crest of each family engraved on their backs. Immediately Luciano walks in, everyone at the table gets up and bows their heads and they stay like that until Luciano takes his seat at the head of the table and Davison stands by the seat on his left. I go and stand by Luciano's side and bow my head down. "You better keep that head up girl, I want you to see them looking at you.' He whispers to me and I do exactly as he says even though it pains me to do so. "You may have your seats." He tells them and they all sit down. Immediately they do it do
**Arianna's POV** I'm still sitting on the floor crying when I hear the doors to the room open, I immediately stand on my feet thinking It's Luciano but when I turn around and look at the door it's Davison. "I'm sorry I haven't cleaned up the room yet, I'm going to do it now please don't report me to the alpha." I tell him and walk to where I broke the glass of bourbon and start picking up the shards of glass on the floor even though I'm in pain and my hands are bleeding. All of a sudden he walks up to me and drags me to my feet. "What the hell do you think you're doing? You're clearly in pain so why are you doing this?" He asks me and I actually see genuine concern in his eyes but I don't trust it. "Please just leave me alone I don't want to get in more trouble." I tell him and try to go back to my work but his grip on my hand tightens. "No, you're clearly in pain and bleeding, you might get an infection let me take you to the pack doctor."
**Arianna's POV** He takes a deep breath and looks at me like he's sorry for what he's about to say. "She's an omega." He tells her. She looks taken aback and even staggers a little. "No, I thought he was getting better, that he was moving on." She says and then covers her mouth in shock, the look on her face is on of sadness. "I thought so too, but then you know he had his annual visits to other packs, and well he came back with her, I've never seen him this bad Aunt Becks, not since what happened." Davison tells her. "What happened? Why is he treating me like this? I asked them finally interrupting their conversation. Becky turns and looks at me with that same sad look on her face. "Oh honey, it's a long story, but it's not really ours to tell. Just know that none of this is your fault." She tells me and then places her hand on my shoulder to comfort me. "You have to do something about this Dave, you can't let him continue treating h
**LUCIANO’S POV**Silly Omega, she actually thought she had a chance. Typical of an Omega to be foolish. Walking into that auction might be the best decision I have made in a while. There is a knock on the door. I look up at it knowing who it is, no one else would knock on my door so loudly. “Yes, Dave, come in.” He walks in looking upset and confused. I have a feeling what this is about but I would rather not have this conversation. “Fix your face my friend.” I get up and walk to the side table in my office. I pour open up a half bottle of bourbon and pour myself half a glass. “Do you want some?” I ask Dave raising my glass to him, He takes it from me and sits in one of the chairs opposite mine. I pour myself another glass and take my seat.“Are you going to say something or did you develop a new love for brooding?” I’m staring at him but he won’t meet my eyes. “Speak!” This time he looks up at me, his Alpha just gave an order and he can not diso
*ARIANNA’S POV*I do not know how long I have been asleep, but I wake up to the sound of noise coming from a part of the house. I get up off the bed and go towards the sounds. I find Becky in the kitchen putting things away. It looked like she had been busy cooking up a storm. “Glad to see you are awake” she says without turning to look in my direction. Of course she heard me walk in. “It looks like you’ve been busy” I told her as I take a sit on a stool placed in the corner. “ I thought I would get started on dinner” she replied. Dinner? Had I been asleep the whole day? I look out the window and its a bit dark outside. “I’m so sorry, I Didn't mean to sleep so long, I Could have helped, let me put this stuff away.” What was I saying? A voice in my head asked. The audacity to think I was invited for dinner. “I’ll just grab my things and go, it looks like you are expecting people with all this food. I get up from the stool and I notice Becky looking at
