Ohoho~ steamy!
“Oh? Is it you, Lord Ajax.” The Auctioneer greeted the Alpha as he leaves the gunshop with a frown on his face. The Alpha always had a frown on his face, but this time— it was a little bit worrisome.“Is my sweet little Cataleia, inside?” Ajax ignored his question and lit a cigar before turning his attention to him. In such a cold weather, a spark of cigarette was enough to warm you from the inside. “How much would you sell the human girl for, Auctioneer?”“Interested in her?” the Auctioneer also took a cigar from his pockets and smiled at him. “May I?” Ajax lit his cigar and they both leaned against the wall while focusing their gazes at the girl inside the gunshop who was curiously trying out different models of guns with the smithy. “She is not for sale.” The Auctioneer broke it to him. “Didn’t you refer her to the competition for the black auction?” “Yes, I did.” He nods in agreement. “However, the girl does not see herself as a slave. You see, she is quite special in her ow
The Auctioneer visits Cataleia in her chambers. Casa and Angela were braiding her hair whilst she polished her sword. His eyes lands on the girl’s face, but nothing was etched it in but calmness. The Auctioneer strolls near her, his arms crossed against his chest. Cataleia glanced at him. He smiled. “Nervous?” Cataleia looked at the girls behind her who had just finished braiding her hair. Casa and Angela looked at her, nodded then left the room. “No.” She answered as soon as the door closed. “Good.” He then sits on the bed. “Remember not to get yourself killed today.” “I am not an amateur, Mr. Auctioneer.” “I know.” He nods. “I am hearing a lot of offers for you already.” “That’s a lie.” Cataleia shrugged her shoulders, then sighed. “I am not seeing you meet anyone, and not one has ever come to meet me like Casa or Angela.” “That’s because they aren’t entering the Auction as hitmen, but assets for labor work. You on the other hand, agreed to kill for money, that’s why you’
THE COMPETITIONCataleia reunited with the other members of the game. Behind her was a huge labyrinthe that the Auctioneer will be utilizing for the game. Cataleia was one of the participants that stood out because she was human. The others gave her a nasty glare, while the other broodingly whispered to themselves how the would incapacitate the girl.She remained quiet however, and listened to the host.“The rules are simple.” The host told them. “There is one flag in the labyrinth. The one who brings it to the front wins.”“Just like that?” one asked. “That’s easy peasy.”“You’ll have to do whatever it takes to survive and get out of the maze. The flag must not be taken from your hands nor must it be broken. There will be traps inside, there will also be people who will combat with you. In this game, you lose if you die. Those who win in the game will enter the Black Auction and will be given a new name and life. Those who fail, will remain living their miserable, wretched lives.” “
Destruction lay upon Lei's path, leaving a trail of onyx-colored blood in her advance. Those who challenged the girl either lost a body part or were paralyzed completely. Though Lei was beyond exhausted, she carried on, her eyes set on the prize— the flag.Lei walked towards the middle of the maze, where she could see the flag held by a gigantic werewolf. “Careful!” one warned her before she could proceed any further. “He has the blood of the ancient titans and the wolves!”‘Is that why no one has circulated the flag all around the maze? They’re afraid to approach him?’“No one has attempted to take the flag yet?” she asked the cowering werewolf she had just beaten in combat.“None,” the wolf replied while pressing onto his wound as the blood kept leaking. “Should you defeat him, you’ll have to defend yourself from others.”“But there are no more others,” was Lei’s dreadful response. “Are there?”The wolf kept its mouth zipped, and Lei slowly closed the distance between her and the gi
"The Auction is tonight." Casa walked towards Lei's bed and sat. Lei stared out the window, looking at the busy streets from outside. It was already 4 in the afternoon, and the sun had just set.Cataleia had not had her dinner yet, nor she intended to. Her appetite was not the best when she woke up that morning. Casa became worried about her friend."Look, Lei, you have to get ready. The Auctioneer is going to get pissed if he sees you not well dressed. You are his biggest asset as of yet. You need to look good."But Lei was not in the best mood to answer."Lei..?" Casa nudged her arm for a little bit, then the girl finally spun her head at her."Casa... what if the Prince buys me instead of Ajax?""What are you talking about?""What if he gets ahold of me instead?""You're not seriously thinking about pulling back, are you?" Casa holds her hand. "Lei, you have to make up your mind. Going back to Askavan, he'll surely gang up on you and kill you. He has more power there."Cataleia fro
"Lord Aron, I am glad you could make it!" the Auctioneer greeted his most awaited guest. "When the brothers said you were in the Highlands, I thought it would be possible for you to miss it.""You lack too much faith in me." Alpha Aron replied and then jerked his head to his sons. "How can I not be here today when my sons asked me so nicely?""I see," The Auctioneer let out a forced chuckle. "Well then, the show is almost beginning. Please, have a seat."The Alpha sat first, and then his sons followed accordingly. The Auctioneer then excused himself away to the backstage to get ready.The Nyth brothers kept their eyes on the stage."Father," Ares turned his head to him. "You didn't have to come with us if you're exhausted.""I'm alright, Ares. You don't have to worry about anything.""You look pale, Father." Arthurian chimed in. "Have you been eating well?""The food in the
The gruff male raised his father's banner high and mighty. The auditorium was dead silent and not a breath interrupted the illustrious eldest child. His draping cape of wolf fur which he skinned from the Alphas he slew wrapped loosely on his broad shoulders; his cold face blanched in a spiraling obsession to own.One could see the future Alpha was agitated."Half a million for Cataleia Reiss! An outstanding amount!" The Auctioneer said through the mic. His face was pale too. At that point, he thought Prince Kai would win over her. "I have no words!"Ajax's crimson eyes fixated on Lei's and the girl shuddered, her knees near to giving up. The two locked eyes for a few seconds before Lei broke her stare from him. Ajax, however, did not stray his eyes away from her."He's staring! He's staring!" Angela squealed. "You're saved now, Lei!"Prince Kai gave Ajax an unpleasant glower before lowering his banner. He slumped against his seat, defeated and rejected. His eyes fixated on the woman w
Being escorted inside the Nyth's mansion was a new experience for Lei. She could not stop staring at the high ceilings and noticed that every step she took had carpet underneath. For so long she surmised that carpets can only be seen in grand palaces and cherished ballrooms. At the end of the carpeted hallway stood five shadowy figures, eyes glowing in either shades of crimson and azure. Her small figure was between the two huge wolf guards as they approached the Alpha's sons. "Have you said your farewells to the Auctioneer?" Ares asked her."I have," she replied firmly. "I am forever grateful for your help.""Then perhaps you should face the person who has helped you." Ajax's stony voice chimed in. She moistened her throat and then faced Ajax with a full face. "Thank you for fighting to keep me, Lord Ajax. I am forever in the debt of the Nyths."There was silence between them before Ajax turned around. "Good," he said and unlocks the door behind him. "I hope you are more than re
