My father kicked me again, and again. “No daughter of mine would've been so completely useless. All you have brought us is shame and embarrassment. Enough. I've arranged your marriage with the Lycan King. He'll come for you tomorrow and I'll finally be rid of you” “W-what? The Beast Lycan?” I stuttered, my fathers words hit me like a block of ice. “Precisely. He could kill you like his other wives for all I care.

[.... because the money you gave me wasn't enough, you will take care of it.] This call was unilaterally disconnected by father on the other side.
To be honest, I still had no idea what he was talking about and was about to call him back. But suddenly when I had just put the stethoscope on my desk and was about to sit down, three men wearing masks burst into my office.
One of them was carrying a rope and their eyes were all over me.
I do not know who they are, but they are definitely not here for good intentions. So I slowly pulled out my desk drawer and took out a scalpel, gripping it tightly. Meanwhile, my other hand crept up to reach for the handle of the phone to call for help from hospital security.
“Who are you? What are you doing in my office?”
They didn't answer but they walked closer to me which made me walk backwards. Unfortunately I was trapped, there was no way out as I was on the 16th floor of the Pack Arcanum hospital building.
“We are Madam Elie's people. You have been sold by your father to Madam Elie. Your only choice is to follow us to the Pack Nexus nicely or we will force you.”
What? Sold? Wait, I still don't understand.
Dad said his debt was paid off and he called me earlier because he needed more money to pay for his rental. The money I gave him was still not enough but I didn't expect at all that the words 'take care of it' meant to be sold.
This is so wrong! He can't do this to me even if he's my father because it's so unfair.
I bit my inner lip and my hand quickly pressed the security emergency button on the telephone. But quickly one of them threw it against the wall until it shattered.
“Don't try to seek help, you won't be able to escape from us.” One man walked towards me and I pressed myself against the window.
I looked back as my trembling hands dialed the police number. If I jumped from here, then I would die because I was on the 16th floor.
The man grabbed my phone and punched the glass behind me until it shattered and then pushed my body backwards.
I closed my eyes, thinking I was going to fall to my death, but the man held both my shoulders so that now half my body was hanging, partly inside the room and partly hanging from the window. I could even feel the marks of the broken glass on my back.
Now what was I supposed to do? I couldn't run away. But I really don't want to be sold because I'm not property!
One of the two men at the door laughed. “Your father owes too much money and he doesn't have the money to pay it. So he put you up as collateral. From now on you'll be a prostitute at Madam Elie's nightclub.”
No way, I'm not going to do that! I'm not going to be a prostitute, I'm going to stay at Pack Arcanum as a doctor.
I tried to push away the man holding my body, but he was much stronger than me. He bent my arms, then another man tied my hands. They forcibly carried me through the emergency staircase.
Just as I was about to scream, my mouth was taped so tightly that I had to swallow my voice again.
But I wasn't going to give up on escaping, I still tried to fight back by kicking them and banging my head on the head of the man carrying me, but his head was like iron, which made my head spin.
“What kind of werewolf doesn't have a wolf inside of them?” This man carrying me laughed mockingly at me.
Even if I didn't have a wolf, they couldn't do this to me!
Just because I'm different, doesn't mean I deserve to be treated like this. I'm still the child of a werewolf after all, I still have the blood of a werewolf despite not having that wolf in my body.
And what I still don't want to believe is why that man, who calls himself my father, would sell me to a pimp. Even though all this time I had also helped him pay off his debts. I worked day and night, putting aside my exhaustion and sometimes even sleeping in the hospital, just to pay off his debts. And now this is what he's giving me?
Why does this have to happen to me? Why should I have a father like that?
The masked men threw me into the car. My hand hit the car door and it was bleeding.
“Be careful! She's a valuable asset. If she gets hurt, especially her face, then Madam Elie will destroy you!”
The car door closed hard before I could get up to escape.
I don't want to be taken anywhere, because Pack Arcanum is my home. Even though the life I live here is hard, but here I can feel safe. Whereas in Pack Nexus or whatever Pack it is, I don't know anything about what's there and what I have to face in the future.
So I still tried to put up a fight and was about to jump, but they pulled me up and wrapped my head in black cloth. They also held me so tightly that I couldn't move.
I didn't want to be a prostitute. I didn't want the words of the people who bullied me to become a reality that I was actually the daughter of a prostitute. I do not wish to be one!
I cried silently, fighting back was useless, they would be even harsher to me.
Why does my fate have to be like this? I just wanted to get out of my miserable life and almost succeeded when I was able to become a doctor. I had just settled down and felt free when father told me the debt was paid off one week ago. But what is this? It turns out he lied, he fooled me because he knew I loved him so much because he was the only family I had.
Father, where is your heart that you have the heart to sold your daughter to make up for your debt? I'm the only child you have, why are you giving me such a bitter payback?
He not only made me treated harshly like this but also made me humiliated for being used as a ransom for debt.
I tried to hold back my tears by biting my lips and also clenching my fists tightly. I could even feel my nails digging into my palms and they were probably bleeding by now.
The sound of a phone ringing and then this conversation from the man beside me made fear invade me even more, “well madam, we will make sure her face is not injured at all to serve tonight's client.”
No, I don't want to serve any man! I don't want to sleep with a man I don't love.
So I elbowed the man next to me and pushed the car door with my body.
My body rolled onto the road because the car was still moving when I forced my way out. My body felt crushed, I felt pain all over.
With the strength I still had, I tried to stand up and run. No matter what happens, I don't want to be used as a debt redemption or even a prostitute.
Iris's POV I took a deep breath, taking a look in the mirror at my new look. My brows were unusually fuller, my hair was now a short, wavy brown hair. And my eyes where bright blue. The YouTube video I watched overnight helped in the makeup I used in making my jaw more sharper to look like a males. I was dressed in a well ironed blue shirt, and an extra baggy jeans.Yes, don't judge me. I know it looks weird, strange, bizarre name it. But that was the only way I could hide the goddamn hips. I had tried dressing in corporate trousers, but it didn't work. I made sure to carefully wrap my boobs so it wasn't be visible. I ran my hands on my fake six packs and giggled. Samantha bought it from a cosplay store. I wore by boots and I was good to go. I beamed as I looked into the mirror, I looked like a cute, young man. I slipped on my Lacoste bag, and just then, I heard knocks on the door.“Iris, it's us.” I heard Rhea say.I sighed in relief as I walked to open the door. They trooped in,
Lucian’s POV Konstantin led me into the mansion, where some other gods were. As I made my way in, all gazes were on me. Some filled with fear, some scorn, and others just for staring sake.I guess some of them might probably know my father, or the incidents from years back when I went berserk. Or the time when I came with my father when he had dealings with the gods.“I really didn't expect your visit, Lucian.” Konstantin chuckled as he flipped his long, silvery hair.“I guessed I missed you.” I said.“Sarcasm at its peak.” He chuckled, “Since you're here, let's make your time here a memorable one.”He clapped his hands, and a group of women came in. Scantily cladded in shimmering clothings. They carried trays and dropped them on the table.The trays were filled with dishes of different kinds, and I noticed something, the meat was raw.“Does it bring back memories?” He smiled as picked up the knife and fork, slicing into the meat and chewing it.I knew what he was talking about, the
Iris's POV Everything just felt surreal, I was going to become a council member real soon. Something I had just done without putting too much thought into it, turned out to be successful. I couldn't fully express how happy I was.“What about your college dreams?” That nosy voice chipped.“Shut up. It's the council now.” I smiled at the end of my sentence.I’d get paid a lot of money as a council member especially if I get promoted. And I planned to work my ass out for that. I imagined myself being congratulated and awarded by the head council, for my great investigative skills.“Girlll. You aren't even there yet, such big dreams!” The voice said.“If you don't keep quiet, I’ll get you out of my head.” I said out loud to myself.“Well, well, well. Seems someone is going insane. Oops, I should probably leave and get the asylum number.” Darius made himself present.The damn shadow was back!I gently massaged my forehead as his presence came with a headache.“What happened to using the d
Lucian’s POV It was daytime already, and I had already left the region of the blood moon pack. By now, Azariel and Ariel would finally realise what I had done. Knowing how stubborn they were, they’d probably try to search for me and track me, but Azariel would definitely know what to do.He’d be pissed, and angry but at the end, he was the calmer and more reasonable among both of them. I decided to stop by a nearby pack before continuing my journey. I stopped at Black Heart Pack, which was several miles away from blood moon. Landing on a pole, I subtly jumped down the ground, blending with people before anyone would notice. I was in the busy streets of Black heart. There was a huge, nearby hotel. I teleported to it, checking the place out. It was to my taste, so I decided to have a rest there.“Here is your room key sir.” The receptionist handed over a key with the inscription; ‘154’ written on it.I felt gazes on me as I made my way towards my appointed room. Some one must have de
Iris's POV The rays of the sunlight hit my face and turned on the bed, groaning before slowly sitting up. The curtain was slightly parted, same with the window and the sun seeped in.It was closed, and I was sure that it was that bastard that opened it. Talking about him…how did I get to the bed?I remembered that after much grumbling, and waiting for him to leave, he didn't. Yet he laid comfortably on my bed. I had no choice but to make use of the sofa. Then how did I get here…The idiots must have placed me here. I wondered when he woke up, and when he left. Instinctively, I shifted towards where he laid and sniffed it. His earth and mint scent filled my nose and I closedy eyes.What the hell…I jerked back, shifting away from the place he laid. Dear me,What was I doing? I took several breaths in and out, calming myself. I remembered my silliness yesterday and my face palmed. What was I thinking when I tried to push him off yesterday? The bastard had taken advantage of that and
Lucian's POV “Hm, I’ve been called that many times. It isn't new.” I shrugged.“What do you want from me, Lucian?” She asked, her shoulders dropping.“You.” I said, and watched her go through different stages of emotions before she glared at me.“I want to sleep, and I’d prefer being alone.” She mumbled.“Go ahead.” “I’ll do so when you leave, I want my space.”“There's no such thing as space between husbands and wives.” I said, playing with a piece of cloth.She looked angry, frustrated, tired and exhausted at the same time.“I guess I’ll leave the room for you then, bastard.” She muttered as she made to leave the room.Snapping my fingers, the door banged shot. Her eyes widened as she faced me, before reaching out for the door handle. She tried to pull it opened, but no matter how she tried, it just wouldn't bulge.“Flaunting your powers, huh?” She scoffed, “Undo whatever you did, now.”Her voice was low, stern and commanding like a mother hen scolding her chicks for going stray.
