MasukAvan made his way down the hallway, three guards trailing behind, struggling to match his steps. The new slaves had been brought in and he was about to see if any of them could be put to good use.
Of late, trade had been going well and Blue Villa was flourishing. He was going to stop at nothing till every other pack was at his feet, a small price for killing his mate.
“How many?” He asked his right hand man, Harry, without turning.
“Eight” Harry replied. “All female” Harry chuckled “good looking ones”
He licked his lips to avoid smiling. The she-wolves were the real deal. They were either sold for money, pleasure or he could always make use of them either.
Plus they did a lot of talking to get on his good side so he could always get whatever information he needed.
She-wolves were always useful either way.
He arrived at the clearing and came to a halt as he took in the sight in front of him. It was just as Harry had said. Eight beautiful she-wolves.
“Let me see their eyes” he commanded.
Isha breathed a sigh of relief as the blindfold was taken off her. Her hands were still secured behind her back but at least she could see what she was dealing with.
Squinting as her eyes tried adjusting to the darkness, she gazed at the man in front of her and she could tell from the strong scent that hit her that he was alpha.
Avan’s eyes landed on her but he looked away almost immediately. The energy emanating from her was strong, too strong to be ignored but he didn't want to give her immediate attention.
He moved to the end of the line to begin with the first girl who shivered at every word he said. His questions were direct and short, but he kept going, every step bringing him closer to her until he was standing in front of her.
“Name?”
He could feel his wolf shift uncomfortably within him and he knew there was something about this wolf. This was no ordinary wolf.
Of course, she was beautiful, even with the torn clothes and dishevelled hair, but Avan had enjoyed a fair share of beautiful ladies, that wasn't the attraction here. There was something more and he desperately wanted to find out.
A million thoughts ran through Isha's head and then she blurted “Carol.” Another quick thought and she continued “Carol Gordon.”
“Pack?”
She swallowed. There was no point trying to lie. Sooner or later, her wolf would betray her.
“Decent pack”
She saw the disappointment in his eyes as he looked her over and scoffed “Rank?”
She looked down in confusion. She didn't even know who she was, but she was definitely not an alpha.
“Not assigned yet.”
Avan frowned. He didn't see anything worthy about her but his wolf was not letting go. There was the urge to ask more, to know more. Normally, she would go to the whore house, or even worse be kept as a breeder, but he didn't need any Descent in his pack, they were the greatest liability to ever exist.
Quickly, he moved to the next girl, and the next, and began his judgement.
“Breeding, trade, whore house, trade, trade.” He paused when he got to Carol and it took him some time to speak because he was beyond confused. No one wanted a white wolf around but his wolf was sensing something aside from the fact that she was so sexy, he could think of a million things to do to her, and he was curious to know what that thing was. He wasn't so sure he was making the right decision and it was annoying because he always had everything figured out. Why was an insignificant wolf making this particular decision close. He was sure of one thing though, and that is his wolf wanted her close, and close she was going to be.
“Council” he said “for the council's needs.”
He noticed the side gazes as he made his way back inside. Everyone was probably wondering what a white wolf would be doing associating with the council men, but no one could question him. He was Alpha.
Vivian was in a catch 22 situation. Even though Nate had assured her his plan would soon be kicking off, she was almost certain he would fail and if she stood by his side, then she would be going down with him.He hadn't given her much details as usual, but had asked her to trust him and that soon the throne would be hers and he would rule with her.She knew he didn't care about the throne. Nate was not power hungry, he just loved her and hated that because of a stupid prophecy, her family had lost what was theirs and that she was taking the fall for it. He felt it was his duty to rescue her but she was beginning to doubt it, maybe she didn't need to be rescued, maybe this was supposed to be her life. Had her family still been on the throne, she would never have gotten the chance to be Luna. Royalty, yes, but Luna was a whole different kind of royalty. Even if it had never crossed her mind at the time, being so close to power right now seemed unbelievable to her and to let it go in t
The door opened but this time Carol didn't open her eyes. She had dashed the hopes that anyone coming in was willing to let her go. Even the maids didn't want to speak to her. No one wanted to offend Avan and so they kept their distance.However, when the silence remained for so long, she opened her eyes and saw Nate. He hadn't moved from the door and had both eyes fixed on her like she was a subject in an experiment he was working on.She wanted to let him know she didn’t care if he came over to mock her. It was the first time he was stepping into the room so he had already made it clear that she was the least of his problems. However, she was too tired to say a word and so she closed her eyes back and let him enjoy her helpless sight.“You know a couple times I had worried about you, and your goal here. I had my thoughts but it was never what it actually is. I would have guessed for a hundred years and still wouldn't have gotten it right.” He made a low chuckle “I have to give you y
“You are going to talk, and you are going to say the truth.” Avan said as he walked in. He grabbed a chair close to the bed where she lay sprawled, all limbs chained.The other three ladies in the room knocked over things as they scrambled their way out, bowing in the process.Carol forced her eyes open and she stared back at him but she was too tired, not for this. Her arms and legs were weak. It had been over a week since she was placed in that position, she wasn't even sure she could walk anymore.*Who are you?” He asked.“Carol Gordon.”“Who is your father?”She coughed to give herself some time to think “Died before I got to know him.”“Mother?” “Sold me off as a child. No one wants a decent, you know that.”He ignored the connection that was radiating from her. That feeling was back again and it wasn't helping, not while there were important things at hand.“Why did you follow me?” he asked.He could hear the weakness in her voice, and he knew she wasn’t pretending. She may hav
He decided it was tonight. After Nate had gone, he had cleaned up and waited for her to return. He knew she was mad about earlier and he wasn't here to beg but to give her a gift, one he knew she and her entire family had been waiting for. He was awake when she came in but he said nothing. She didn't turn on the lights but instead called his name in a soft whisper. When he didn't answer, she proceeded to take off her clothes and went in for a quick bath.He was watching her as she applied lotion when she was done, the scent filling the room, turning him on. She reached into the closet to pull out a robe when he stopped her.“No, come to bed.”She turned in a startling surprise “you're awake?”“Been awake. Where were you?”“Touring the territory. I needed to clear my head.”He groaned “You know that's not safe. Come here.”She took steps towards him. The moonlight pouring into the room gave her a good view of the look on his face, and he was so handsome.Her body trembled without her
Emma had just finished making a scene and it had gotten her nowhere. Word had been flying around so she had heard the trouble Carol was in. What she didn't understand was why she wasn't allowed to say hello to her friend.This was the only person that had been there for her in this pack and now, when she needed help, she couldn't be there for her.She had gone to the council but was not allowed to enter. After so much noisemaking, Hunter had sent orders to have her taken away.She cried bitterly. It had been a week and she feared she was being tortured or had been taken to the other very terrible units. She owed her a nasty slap once she saw her because she had warned her to be careful, and somehow she blamed herself because if she had been entirely honest with Carol, maybe, she wouldn't have gotten into the mud so deep, but her priority now was to see her friend and ensure that she was alright, just like how she had made sure she was some weeks back.As she sat on the brick, contempl
Nate's words kept ringing in his ears.“You should have killed her. You are alpha.”“She isn't who she claims she is, and I need that information from her. She could be useful to the pack” but he didn't mention the fact that after he had struck her, he had felt the pain she had felt and had instantly regretted it. He didn't know if she also regretted coming at him. When you're fated to be with someone, you don't want to see them in pain, and if anything, you shouldn't be the one causing them pain. Seeing her hurt reminded him so much of Holly, her death and every other sad thing that had come along with it. He was thankful he hadn't touched her heart, and that she was in recovery. He would have had one more thing to hate himself for.“She's a white wolf,” Nate had responded. “I don't know what more you want her to be.”“She is strong, Nate, very strong. Whatever her story is, I want to know it.” He had climbed on the horse that was waiting “Also, I don't need to remind you to stop que
