CHAPTER 2

I hoped and wished that I was having a nightmare, and maybe I would wake up to a different scene, however, his word kept echoing in my head.

"You will be my fifth concubine."

No, it can't be, there is no way I was chosen among the multitude of girls gathered here. This certainly cannot be the path chosen for me by the gods, but if it wasn't why am I here?

Glancing up, I was surprised to see the alpha king staring keenly at me with an amused look on his face

"What is your name?" He asked in a deep sexy voice.

Although I was hesitant to tell him, I found myself opening my mouth to speak. 

"My name is Light, Light Greyjoy."

He was silent for a while as if thinking about something before he spoke again.

"Welcome to the Feral pack, Light Greyjoy, I hope you pass the concubine test." With that, he turned around and walked off without looking back. 

I stare blankly at his retreating figure wondering what he meant by concubine test. Does that mean I have to pass a test to become a concubine?

My lips curved into a mischievous smirk as I thought of this. I probably wouldn't become a concubine if I don't pass the test. 

It was as if that alone gave me hope. I immediately stood straight with my head held high and with one thing in mind. 'I Light Greyjoy will fail the concubine test.'

...

After the ceremony, the five of us were given a room in the pack house. It was a large room painted white and in it, were five sets of beds for each of us.

 "This is where you girls would stay, until after the concubine test. When only one of you will be left," a woman who seem to be in her mid-forties announced. "My name is Lysa, your matron. I would be the one to prepare you for the test. You'll be trained for six days, and on the seventh day, you'll take your test. however, only the best amongst you girls will be the chosen one." With that she left, leaving just the five of us.

Seven days? It means I'll be stuck here for seven days. Nonetheless, seven days were small compared to a lifetime of bondage.

Ignoring the other girls, I made my way to bed by the window side. I've never been one to socialize with people, I was a total nerd, an introvert. luckily, none of them said a word to me, probably because they didn't think I was worth it. since unlike them, I was the least dressed, and I gave off the vibe that screamed stay away. Aside from that, I looked weird, by weird I mean I looked as pale as a ghost. Perhaps they feared I was one and thought I was there to hunt and torment them or they thought I was from a poor family because merely looking at them, I could tell that they were from prominent families. 

"My dad is the governor of the city, I'm sure the alpha king is going to pick me. I would impress him in such a way that he wouldn't even want to make me a concubine. Rather, he would make me his mate," a beautiful blond hair girl amongst them, said audibly and haughtily.

However, I wasn't interested in their conversation, so I zoned out and lost myself in my weird and horror fantasies...

For six days we were well-fed and clothed_ taught to dance, sing and play musical instruments. we were also taught dining etiquette, and most of all, the art of seduction. 

Today being the seventh day, was the day of the test. The five of us were clothed in plain white dresses and white ballet shoes, whilst our hair was styled in a neat bun. 

"All the best girls," Lysa said, as she led us to the hall where the test was to be held.

We matched in a straight line according to our number and how we were going to take the test and I was the last.

Unlike the other hall where the ceremony was held, this hall was smaller and looked like a movie theater, only that the design, arrangements, and intent were different.

There was a throne, at the front of the hall where the alpha king sat and the rest of the seats in the hall were occupied by the audience, whom I guess were werewolves.

"Begin," the same man from the ceremony announced.

Lysa nodded, and urged Kayla the governor's daughter, to begin since she was the first in line. And with a huge smile on her bare face, Kayla matched forward with pride and elegance. Probably confident that she would be the chosen one.

Slow melodious music was played in the background since our first test was dancing, Kayla moved her body both gracefully and seductively. She was indeed a perfect dancer and the audience was impressed by her incredible dance skills. After Kayla came another, and then another until it was my turn.

I slowly matched to the front of the hall with a mischievous smirk playing at the corner of my lips. I was ready to give them the weirdest dance they have ever seen, and I was sure the alpha would not be impressed.

As the music started to play, I moved my body like a zombie, or perhaps someone without a skeletal system. My dance was very slow, ridiculous, and out of place. In every test, I made sure I did the worst, both in written tests and where we had to perform in front of an audience. 

Now it was the last test, the alpha king himself was to question us, and like before it was Kayla, then the others before me.

Standing before the alpha, my head was held high in defiance while I stare directly at him, hoping that he would find me disrespectful and not choose me, since I once heard that it was taboo to stare directly at the alpha king. 

However, his lips curved into a mischievous smirk and he questioned. "What should I expect from you Light Greyjoy, will I be thrilled after making you my concubine?"

The question was the same for every other girl and each gave a nice and perfect answer. 

Nevertheless, my case was going to be completely different. I hesitate for a while as if thinking of the right answer before I spoke. 

"You will be totally disappointed," I confidently retorted. " I lack manners and tend to make mistakes in whatever I do. Where ever I go people tend to complain about me. Some even say I'm bad luck and choose to stay away from me. Also, I'm currently suffering from a severe contagious disease."
