Myla was about to kick the man in the stomach when her mother's Alibi and another man ran towards them. They both rushed towards their subordinate.
“Who the hell did this?" The other man raged.
“It was her!" Yasmine immediately yelled out while pointing at Myla with a smug smile on her face. Myla narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything to counter Yasmine's claim because she regretted nothing. Given the chance, she would do it again.
The other men turned to her with a glare. He stood up and raised his hand to smack her on the face but her mother's Alibi held his hand.
“Why are you stopping me from disciplining this rude slave, James?" The other man questioned as his eyes turned into slits.
“If you disfigure her face, who do you think is going to buy her then?" James explained and the other man immediately nodded then helped the man who was coughing out blood up from the ground.
“Find a way to deal with her then while I take care of Henry" James nodded then unlocked her from the chain that was used to bind all the girls together and dragged her to the back of a carriage so no one could see them.
“Are you crazy, girl? I don't know why I expected this to happen. You are no different from your mother" Myla furrowed her eyebrows.
“What's your relationship with my mother?" James waved off her question.
“Now is not the time to talk about that. Do not reveal your identity to anyone or you'll be dead meat. This is a wolf territory and one thing wolves hate more than humans and vampires are hunters. Not many humans knew how to fight so in order to be safe, do not fight with anyone for now till you have completed what you came here to do. There are some things even I won't be able to protect you from especially in a place like this where humans have no say" Myla sighed then nodded. She had indeed gotten carried away.
“Alright, let's head back"
“Why did we stop here in the first place?" Myla whispered as they walked towards the rest.
“We aren't allowed to drive the carriage towards the capital so we have to go on foot" Myla frowned. The wolves really had a lot of rules here.
James grabbed her arm and shoved her towards the rest of the girls after he had chained her down.
Melody immediately moved closer to her.
“What did he do to you?" Myla shook her head.
“Nothing" Then she turned to Yasmine with a smirk. Yasmine scoffed but didn't say anything more.
“Okay, move your asses!!" The commander shouted at them. Myla rolled her eyes but did as was told. She didn't have any choice anyways.
“Why didn't we just ride the carriage there?" Melody asked.
“It's because the wolves won't let us ride in," Melody scoffed.
“If they hate humans this much then why do they keep us as slaves?" Myla shrugged. She knew it was either to satisfy their huge ego or they wanted to remind Humans that they were below wolves.
“Hey! Get out of the way!!" Everyone turned to the voice and gasped. A huge carriage with angry looking horses were galloping their way towards the girls.
Because of how close the carriage already was, the only option the girls had was to jump out of the way and since they were all chained together, it was hard for all of them to keep their balance so when Jasmine stumbled, they all stumbled and fell to the ground.
Myla groaned as her head connected with a rock. Gosh, why was all these happening to her today?!
She touched the spot lightly and when she felt the blood, she immediately turned to the carriage in anger but it slowly turned into confusion when she noticed someone staring at her from within the carriage. When the person spotted her, he or she quickly closed the curtain.
“That was weird," She thought.
“Ughh these wolves are really getting on my nerves. Why must they treat us this way? They could have easily stopped the horse but nooo! We just had to get out of the way. Myla? Are you okay?" Myla turned to Melody with a smile. Yes she was injured on her forehead but it didn't hurt whereas Melody was bleeding on her elbow. Myla grabbed her hand and stared at the injury.
It wasn't serious so it wouldn't leave a mark.
“Press your clothes on it to dry off the blood and the injury would heal" Melody nodded then stared at the injury on her forehead with worry.
“What about yours?" Myla smiled.
“Don't worry, I'll be fine" As if in cue, she caught sight of Luane and Noah on a roof and she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She thought it was going to be hard for them to get into the wolf realm but Noah and Luane were known back home for being able to sneak inside any town or city without being caught.
“Do you think we have time for this dilly dally? Get walking already!" The commander shouted and they all obeyed but Myla couldn't get the person she saw in the carriage out of her head. She only saw an eye but those eyes alone gave her a feeling of deja Vu but the only wolf she had ever seen was that demon boy. Could that have been him?

Myla frowned as they got to a warehouse. It was very dirty and seemed like it had been abandoned for centuries. Was this where they were going to stay for now?
“This is where you're all going to stay till the sales start so we can't have you looking dirty for the wolves because we need to make a lot of money from you guys to make up for the loss we experienced last time. Bath and change into the clothes we give you!" Just then, two males cane out of the warehouse and toss clothes to them one by one.
Myla held up her gown and couldn't help but gasp. It was so revealing! What were they, prostitute?
The man she had kicked a while ago who she now knew as Henry, narrowed his eyes on her.
“What is this problem, girl?" He questioned as he stalked towards her. She stood her ground and stared right into his eyes. There was no way she was going to wear this.
“This clothes is too revealing for a lady to wear. We are being sold off as slaves not prostitutes" Henry chuckled.
“Yes, you're being sold off as slaves but have you ever wondered what kind of slaves? Look around, there were many males in that village but we didn't take any because why? The wolves here have enough slaves so what they need now are sex slaves" Myla's eyes widened. What? Why hadn't she been informed about the change of system?
She turned to James and he seemed just as surprised as she was. This was bad, she couldn't be a sex slave to no one especially a wolf. There was no way!....
As Myla and Cornelius walked out of the castle, towards the backyard, Myla kept thinking of ways to ditch him and go look for Luane and Noah. She knew Cornelius was already suspicious of her so any wrong move now and she would blow her cover. She was about to say something when Cornelius spoke up. “Do not worry, very soon Ares will come back to his senses and realize that pushing you away won't solve his problems" She stared at him with a raised eyebrow. “Cornelius? Is that really you? You were my number one hater when I became Ares' maid" Cornelius shrugged. “That was because I felt like you wanted to hurt Ares but you have proved to me that you aren't here for that and that you really like him so I'm giving you my blessing" Myla couldn't help but frown. How would Cornelius feel when he found out that he had been right about her all along? She sighed. “Cornelius, is it okay if I can be alone for a while?" She expected him to question her but ins
Ares chuckled lightly behind Myla. They were so close to each other that she could feel his breath on her neck. “What's funny?" She questioned as she furrowed her eyebrows. “You're tense right now. Relax, I'm not going to do anything to you" He whispered. Myla sighed. “I Know you won't do anything but It's just that…. I'm not used to laying so close to a guy. The only guys I've laid this close to were my father and best friend" Ares raised an eyebrow. “You lay this close to your best friend? Why?" Myla shrugged. “We have just always been close from birth so whenever he wants to stay over, he sleeps in my room" Ares frowned. “Hmm" Myla giggled. “Do not worry, he's like my brother" Ares scoffed. “I wasn't worried" He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer which made Myla gasp. “What do you think you're doing?" “I'm helping you get used to laying next me and I'm lending you my body heat, you're welcome" Myla chuckled. She turned around in his arms and stared int
Ares pulled away from a breathless Myla with a smile on his face. “Thank you for making this night so memorable for me. I don’t think I’ve ever been this free, this alive, this… happy” Myla smiled then placed a soft kiss on his lips. “I’m happy to hear that” Ares seemed like he wanted to say something else but then, Cornelius appeared and covered Ares’ head with his coat. “It’s raining Alpha, you shouldn't be out here. I’ll take you to a shed right now” Ares rolled his eyes as Cornelius led him away while Myla followed behind him. They arrived at an empty shed and Cornelius immediately created something that Ares could sit down on. Ares groaned suddenly. “Stop treating me like a child, you don’t always have to worry about me. Besides, I’m fine” Cornelius sighed. “Being out in the rain isn’t good for you and neither is it good for you, Myla. Why didn’t you lead him to a shelter?” “I was the one who wanted to stay in the rain so don’t s
Ares held her hand with a smile. “Shall we start over and try to enjoy this festival? I've never been able to enjoy it before" Myla smiled as she held onto his hand tightly. “If you promise to do everything I tell you to" Ares chuckled. “Alright, sure" Myla grinned then dragged him over to the dance going on in front of them. “Ma'am, can we dance with you?" Luckily, the woman didn't look at Myla like she wanted to kill her. Instead, she smiled and nodded. “Sure" Ares pulled his hoodie over his face as Myla dragged him over to the circle of people dancing. “Come on, have fun" Myla yelled as she swayed her body to the music. Ares stood there awkwardly as he stared at everyone. He didn't know how to dance! Was he supposed to move his body like her? Myla stopped dancing with a sigh as she noticed he wasn't dancing with her. She grabbed his hand and made him look at her. “Do not think about it, just let your body move" Ares groaned.
Of course Myla couldn't say it like that unless she was ready to blow her cover. Instead, she said; “Oh… what happened to the chief then? Did.. did you kill him?" Ares turned to stare at her. His stare was becoming so penetrative that Myla had the urge to look away. “That's a story for another day, Let's go?" He turned away before she could reply. Myla sighed before following behind him. “Oh where's ma'am Isabel and Cornelius?" Myla asked as she suddenly noticed that only her and Ares were walking together. “She was complaining about her feet so I asked Cornelius to carry her back to the castle" “And he agreed?" Ares turned to her with a tilt of his head. “Why wouldn't he?" Myla shrugged. “Well I just thought Cornelius wouldn't want to leave your side especially in a crowded place like this. Anything can happen, you could get mobbed" Ares chuckled. “Cornelius doesn't really care about me that much, he just acts in front of you all" Myla gi
Isabel slapped Myla's hand away and pushed her away from Ares. “What do you think you're doing, Slave? You seem to have forgotten your place" Cornelius caught Myla before she could fall to the ground. “Isabel, if you're here to cause a scene then you might as well go back to the castle" Isabel frowned. “But Ares," She whined. “I'm warning you, Isabel" Then he walked away. Isabel glared at Myla before following behind Ares. Cornelius immediately left Myla and followed Ares. “Ughh! This is all my fault. If I hadn't spoken out about where we were going, That witch wouldn't be coming with us now. Don't worry Myla, I'll find a way to get rid of her" Lucas muttered as they walked quickly to catch up with Ares. Myla turned to him with a raised eyebrow. “Why are you saying that to me, Prince Lucas?" He tilted his head. “Because you and Ares are a thing, right? You like him" Myla scoffed loudly. “I do not like him, why does everyone keep
