Chapter five: they meet again

   As they rode back to the palace, Cornelius couldn't help but notice that Ares had a deep frown on his face. He was about to say something when the Coachman yelled.

        “Hey!Get out of the way!" Ares and Cornelius looked out of the window and saw a bunch of human females falling to the ground. 

        One thing Ares hated more than his demon was humans. They were liars, traitors and conceited beings. That was why he never bought a human slave before.

       Just as he was about to turn away, his eyes connected with a pair of blue eyes and she was glaring at the carriage. 

       He understood why she was doing that but why did she seem so familiar? He tried to see her clearly but when he noticed that she had noticed his stare, he immediately retracted and closed the curtain.

   “I think those are the girls that are going to be auctioned tonight" Ares turned to Cornelius as soon as he said this with a frown.

        “Why were they all girls then?" Cornelius' eyes widened then he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

        “You see, because of the amount of humans slaves here, no wolf wants to buy them as normal slaves anymore but as sex slaves" Ares eyes immediately turned sharp.

        “And who made that rule?" 

        “It was your bro.... I mean it was Leo" Ares Aura immediately turned sinister. 

       “Hmm...." Was all he said.

    Myla fell to the ground with a groan after Henry gave her a resounding slap for throwing the gown he had given to her back at him. She raised her head and glared at him with so much anger that it kind of scared Henry but also angered him.

        “How dare you glare at me like that?!" He yelled and was about to slap her again when James grabbed his hand.

       “Be rational, Henry" Henry turned his anger towards James.

       “Why is it that you're always protecting this witch? Do you have a crush on her?" James sighed.

      “I just don't want a case where we can't sell her off anymore. Look at her, her beautiful is unusual and you know that's what attracts a high bidder but if you destroy her face, you'll be stuck with her till you eventually sell her'' What James said made sense that Myla was actually beginning to think that he was just protecting her because he didn't want to lose any Profit. Fortunately,Henry also found his words very convincing.

         “I don't know how you're going to do it but get her into that dress before it's time for us to leave. The rest of you should change immediately" Henry turned to glare at Myla before walking away. 

         As soon as he was gone, Melody moved closer to Myla and helped her up from the ground. 

        “Oh poor girl, you have suffered a lot today" Melody murmured softly. It was true, Myla could count all the bad things that had happened to her just before they left the human realm. 

       Yasmine scoffed “She's the one making things difficult. Just listen and do as they say before you end up dead, although I won't mind that. Let's go change already and get this over with" James nodded then unlocked the chain that held them together with the help of his subordinates. 

       They couldn't escape from here because they were men all over the place so that's they were unchained and allowed to walk freely. As soon as Yasmine and the rest were out of reach,James turned to Myla with a glare.

          “Listen to Henry if you know what's good for you, he is not a good person and I can't really guarantee your safety here so just behave till you get sold off to your owner then you can do whatever you want there" Myla rolled her eyes. It just felt like he was trying to get rid of her so even though she died when she got sold off, he wouldn't be blamed. 

      After that, he walked off and Melody stood in front of Myla with a stern look on her face.

         “How the hell do you know one of the slave traders?" Myla waved off her question.

         “There's no time for that" Melody sighed then picked up Myla's gown and handed it to her.

      “It's only for one night, just wear it" Myla frowned. Was her dignity really worth being lowered this way? She glanced at the gown in Melody's hand and sighed. She needed to fulfill her promise to her mother and father. 

       She took it from Melody's hand and nodded.

        “Alright, let's go change"

     Myla could see all the guys' eyes on them as soon as they stepped out of the waiting room. After they had all gotten ready, Henry had taken them to a room and made them wait there. 

      Now, it was finally time for the auction and they had to leave as soon as possible.

        Myla heard the men whistling.    

    “Whoa, are you sure we can't have this girls to ourselves, they are so beautiful"

       “And sexy"

        “And would probably look better naked" The men laughed amongst themselves like what the man said was funny when it was just plain disrespectful but she had to admit that the gown did look flattering on them.

        It was a skin tight silk gown which length stopped at the top of their knees with a slit at the corner. Myla hated the slit at the cleavage side the most because it was too revealing. To her, she felt naked and she knew that was the aim of the gown. It was showing what needed to be shown but only when bought would the owner get to see what was the hiden under the gown. It was disgusting.

         “Quiet down now. Hopefully, we'll be able to sell a lot today. Get them in the carriage" His subordinates nodded then were walking towards them with sick smiles on their face which gave Myla the chills. Fortunately, James was the one who helped chain her and placed her in the carriage and she begged him to the Same with Melody. He sighed but did as was told. 

        When they finally got moving, Myla couldn't stop her heart from racing at fast pace. She was very nervous and wondered what would happen if the demon boy didn't buy her.

     Myla listened to the girls crying behind her as they led all of them to the back of the stage.

       “I'm so happy by the amount of wolves that are here today and I promise that you won't be disappointed by the girls we were able to bring in today" Myla heard Henry say with a kind voice and she couldn't help but scoff.

        “Male and Female wolves, let me present your slaves to you" The curtains opened and Myla raised her hand above her head to shade herself from the light that shorn on them.

         She couldn't also hear the adoration and sexual slurs coming from the males most especially in the crowd. Henry smiled at this and grabbed Yasmine's hand. She began to cry as he flaunted her to the crowd.

         “Never touched before and as soft as the clouds" Henry announced.

         “We want to see more flesh!" 

        “Show us more" Before Myla could blink, Henry tore Yasmine's gown, revealing her straight legs. Yasmine screamed out but that just seemed to interest the wolves.

         “I'll take her for one hundred dollars" Henry's eyes brightened.

           “Then the bid starts at One hundred dollars. Can I get two hundred dollars?!" A man yelled.

     “Two hundred dollars!" And just like that, the price kept going higher and higher till she finally got sold at Ten thousand dollars.

     Henry handed Yasmine to James to get her ready for her owner and grabbed Myla's hand. Her eyes widened as he showed her to the crowd. She could already hear the sexual slurs and wolf calls which made her extremely self conscious. She tried to cover herself but Henry held her hand.

        “This one here is a wild flower and would be very fierce in bed. Never been touched and as the silkiest skin in all the realms"

       “More skin!" She heard someone yell and her heart dropped. Henry flashed her a sinister smirk and was about to tear a piece of her clothing when a deep voice ran through the walls.

       “One million dollars for that slave" Everyone turned to the voice and was shocked when Ares and Cornelius walked into the room. He never came for things like this so why was he here?

        Ares' eyes were on Myla as he walked towards the stage then he suddenly stopped and turned to Henry with a glare.

        “ I already bought the slave so why are your hands still on her? It seems you don't have use for them anymore. Cornelius!" Ares yelled and Cornelius immediately pulled out his sword and stalked towards Henry. Everyone stared with wide eyes at the scene while Myla kept her gaze on Ares. 

       He turned to her and their eyes connected.....
