I felt like an item up for auction, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. The room fell silent when Marc made his declaration, and no one dared to make another offer. "Then Marc shall have her," Alpha broke the sudden silence.

This news brought a smile to Marc's face, but I was too horrified to speak. How could my own father do this to me? It was one thing that he neglected me for half of my life, but now he was selling me off to a stranger in exchange for livestock and land. I should have realized something was amiss when he introduced me to everyone as his daughter.

"What are you waiting for?" Alpha's voice snapped me back to reality. "Won't you go and greet your husband?"

"We never discussed this, Alpha," I mustered up sudden courage.

Alpha was shocked by my sudden challenge, but anger quickly replaced his expression. "Since when do I need your permission to make a decision?"

But I was the one getting married. If anything, he should have informed me beforehand. I could only bring myself to say one thing, "Mom would be disappointed." The anger on his face vanished momentarily, and he seemed taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure.

"Your mother is dead, Harlow. Her opinion holds no significance now. Go and greet your husband before I force you to," he said in a cold, emotionless tone. I knew better than to argue any further. I walked over and knelt before Marc, as tradition demanded.

We departed in a carriage soon after, and Marc insisted that I leave behind all of my old belongings. He accepted me just as I was. Although I felt nervous, I tried to find some positivity in the situation. At least now I was free from Aida and her daughter. And I could keep my promise of never showing up before her. I wasn't sure what life would be like in Marc's home, but I knew it couldn't be worse than what I had endured here.

Suddenly, Marc's husky voice interrupted my thoughts. He was sitting on the other side of the carriage, and I had made sure to keep a distance between us. He asked me if I was truly a virgin. My head nodded in response. Without warning, Marc grabbed my arm and pulled me closer, then lifted me onto his lap. I squirmed uncomfortably, but his smile indicated that he was enjoying this.

"Why did you wait so long? Were you waiting for me?" he inquired, and I remained silent. Marc lifted a finger to my face, forcing me to look at him. The world seemed to stand still as I met his icy blue gaze. I found myself unable to look away, captivated by his beauty. Out of all the men in the room, he was the most handsome. I felt relieved that my father had sold me to him, rather than the bald-headed man. If that had been the case, I would be plotting my escape right now.

"You seem so innocent and naive, Harlow. I can't wait to have you," he said with a smirk.

"Have me where?" I wondered aloud. "Aren't we heading to your pack, or is there somewhere else you would like us to go?" I asked, and he burst into laughter.

"You'll see," was all he said.

During the entire journey, I remained seated on his lap, which was initially uncomfortable, but I eventually relaxed and fell asleep on his chest. When we arrived, Marc didn't bother to wake me up; instead, he carried me out in his arms. In that moment, I started to warm up to him, thinking that maybe this marriage wasn't such a bad thing, as we entered the mansion.

"Welcome home, darling."

As soon as I heard a female voice, my eyes snapped open. A blonde woman approached us, wearing shorts and heavy makeup on her face. As she bounced, her ample breasts moved as well. I noticed Marc's eyes briefly settle on them, and jealousy overwhelmed me.

"You're awake, right?" He whispered, sensing my movements. Without waiting for a response, he dropped me to the ground and opened his arms wide to catch the woman, who eagerly threw herself at him.

Breaking from the hug, she kissed him passionately, and he didn't resist. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. Feeling confused and unsure of what to make of the situation, I immediately looked away.

"I thought you wouldn't be home today," a shorter woman entered the scene. She was the complete opposite of the blonde woman. Marc pushed the blonde aside and embraced the shorter woman in his arms. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I didn't mean to."

She turned her gaze away, clearly unsatisfied with his response. "How can I make it up to you, my dear Jade?" he asked, gently cupping her face. Finally, she looked at him and her hands sensually trailed up his neck. "How about I be the one to keep you warm tonight?"

"Don't you even think about it, Jade!" A plus-sized woman entered the room, her glare enough to kill Jade on the spot. "You know very well that tonight is my turn. I've had to wait for weeks because you keep sneaking into his room when it's supposed to be my time. But let me warn you, if you try this again, I won't let you off easily." With a single push, Jade was sent flying across the room, and the woman embraced Marc instead.

"Rona," Marc said, running his hand through her hair as she purred in his arms, like she did not just attempt murder. "I've told you to stop being so aggressive."

"Honey, it's not my fault. She's the one who keeps stealing my place," Rona defended herself. "I can't wait to finally be yours tonight."

"I'm afraid that won't be happening," he replied. "What?" Rona snapped.

He gently pushed her away and took my hand, making the other women aware of my presence. They all stared at me with questioning eyes.

"Harlow, meet my wives, Blair, Rona, and Jade. From today onwards, Harlow will be my fourth wife, and to celebrate this occasion, she will be the one spending the night in my bed. Any questions?"

    *GOT ANOTHER MATE! DOOMSDAY!!!*Already aware of the fact that the Alpha I had just served was my second chance mate, I decided to act like I didn't notice anything and just keep on moving.Especially now that it seems like he isn't aware yet but who am I kidding?He's an Alpha and it's possible that he already knew it before I noticed.Why else would he thank a servant?I was about to pour wine for the person beside him when I felt an additional weight on my hand and somehow the touch made my body tingle."Mate." He announced to the hearing of everyone and I raised my gaze to meet his smiling eyes.Immediately, some of the Alpha's began cheering him and my eyes moistened up.Was he accepting me?On my birthday?Double bliss!!!I didn't know why but I suddenly got that feeling you get when someone is staring intensely at you and I had to swerve.As I turned, my eyes came face to face with Alpha Amos.It seemed like he was using his eyes to drill and bore holes at the back of my head.

    *A MATE, AGAIN? DON'T COME TO ABANDON JUST STAY*Taken back to the dungeon was one of the most dreadful experiences but I was able to stay alive till this very moment though the darkness still creeped me out and I couldn't wait to see the light of day. Though I wasn't sure that particular wish would ever be granted. *Scoffs*Not like any of my wishes ever gets granted.Just as I cursed my very own existence, the door to the dungeon creaked open. It was like some movie that had been rewinded because come to think of it, this was the same way the door to the dungeon opened the first time I was here. "You're quite a lucky one." A voice came from the doorway and the effect of seeing sunshine after a long while made me shut my eyes as they were hurting. Shutting my eyes wasn't enough as the lights were still able to penetrate into my eyes as if they would pierce through my soul at any time.My whole being felt sore and it was even more like I'd been deprived of my freedom to live like

    *BITTER SWEET*I stared with my face and eyes moistened up with tears at everyone as they threw different spiteful insults at me.Wow... How fast does news fly here?It's almost like they had a transmitter or something because how did everyone know I had shifted and even killed someone in less than an hour.Fear gripped me as I wondered the severe punishment that awaited me if the royal palace hears of this.Gosh, the last thing I want is getting back into that dungeon.If only everyone would have just a little sympathy and shut their darned mouth then everything would be fine, or would it?No matter how much I wanted sympathy, it's quite clear I just murdered someone.My thinking wasn't flowing in the right direction anymore but I couldn't fail to realize that even when I shifted to my human form, I still had my clothes on.That doesn't happen or does it?I don't even know anything anymore.And it seems like everyone is oblivious of that particular detail... My clothes aren't shredde

    DREADED NIGHT*I ran out when no one was expecting and I'm pretty sure no one noticed but something was totally off. The howls in the shadows kept me in a state of both confusion and fear as I couldn't interpret the animal that produces such a howling sound.I needed to focus on how to escape effortlessly but it seems that the sound keeps distracting me by implanting fear in me. At some point I felt like it was there for only one purpose and that's me!But what the hell could that be?I noticed that I didn't have enough time to deliberate on whatever that thing was so I had to let go and continue my run.... I had this strong instinct that I would escape successfully.Where do I have in mind to go?No where!Absolutely nowhere because I had no connections with the neighboring packs. But then I still had to escape to save myself.I had gone so far and with my observations, I knew fully well that I was about to cross the border but that would only happen successfully if I am able to figh

    Harlow's PovIt's already been months since I was able to feel myself once again. The fact that many things weren't right wasn't something anyone can doubt as it was clear like crystal. Everyone including everything seemed strange and it felt like I woke up from a long trance. Constantly looking at Blair stared down at me like I was a ghost, or Rona who always avoids me like I carry a disease. Not to talk of Jade whom I knew was somehow close to..."Arghhhh." I screamed internally trying my best not to yell out how frustrated I feel. I watched as Blair started walking to my direction, I felt like walking away but no, curiosity made me stay to hear whatever shit she has to say to me."How are you doing? Let's grab a drink or two." Blair didn't even wait for a reply from me as she threw both questions at me without even waiting for my reply."Excuse me but are you talking to a kid?" I asked her, anger evident in my voice."Can we go now? You mustn't throw a fit you know." Rona muttered
