Chapter 6

AALIYAH

I opened up my eyes to find chains wrapped around my foot and hands.

I suddenly felt a sharp pain from my sprained ankle.

I tried recalling, what had happened the night before, as I looked around the environment I was placed in.

“Please let me go!!!” a girl yelled as they had her thrown into the floor where we all laid.

I looked around to find that there were more girls my age than the adults.

“Please!!” the girl's voice pleaded.

I rubbed my hurting ankle trying to calm the pain I felt coming from it.

I couldn't understand the reason, I was brought here.

And from the way she cried out, it felt as though time was running out on her side, and needed to leave.

As I searched around for anyone I could talk to, I found out there were girls certainly older than me by a few years.

They all looked so unkempt, and the place reeked of people who had been dead a long time ago.

What is this place exactly?

Am I dead?

As I wandered off in thoughts trying to remember all that happened the night before.

 I heard his voice again, and this time it sounded so close than ever.

The Beta, Nicholas Brooks.

My heart froze for a minute, the moment I heard him speak.

And that was when it all made sense about all that happened the night before. 

“Where’s the girl?” He asked as he approached us all.

I hated seeing him and now to make It worse, he was here definitely on a mission.

“There she is” One of the guards had me pointed out the minute I tried hiding my face from not being found.

I watched how the tall huge man in a black caftan walked up to me, holding me up as he pulled me by the arm to go with him.

I struggled for him to let me go, but it was all to no avail.

As we got close, Nicholas smiled and had a wide grin on as we approached.

And the minute I was in front of him, the guard that stood beside him pulled me to the floor facing him.

“Aaliyah”

“Aaliyah,” he said, rubbing his hands on my face.

“You have always been a sweet young girl and I just can’t wait to feel and see how sweet you taste down there,” He said pointing down to my vagina.

I felt the urge to punch him in the face for being so disrespectful, but held myself back the minute I saw how guarded he was with his men.

And not just ordinary men, but men whose muscles could speak for them before any fight.

I had my face lowered the minute he let go of my face.

I wanted so badly to leave, but I couldn’t.

As I knelt in front of him, I thought about Shelly and where she could be at the moment.

And why it was that I had to go through all of these.

As I wandered off in thoughts, I felt the hands of Nicholas going down to my breast.

A man, who was the age of my father and seemed not even bothered about making advances to the daughter of his Alpha.

Seeing what he did, made me wish I had not lost a parent in the attack by the ferocious pack I feared the most.

The Orlando’s…

Scenes of our pack being burnt down in flames soon resurfaced in my mind as I bent my head.

It felt so bad knowing my once-perfect life all went down the drain in one night.

I never got the chance of getting to know my mother from birth as she died the minute I was born.

My life felt like it was suddenly crashing down.

I looked up scanning through the crowd for any glimmer of interest from anyone familiar. 

But there was none.

“Stop!!!” I heard a guard yelling at the one girl who had been making a lot of noise about a while ago.

I watched how she tried running off even in chains, and the next thing I heard, they had her shot dead.

I screamed the minute I heard the sound of the gun.

My heart bled as I watched all hopes of leaving this forsaken place get drained right before my very eyes.

I needed to get out of here, but how? I asked myself.

As I turned, I heard the clicking of coins from one of the guards standing right beside the Beta.

“They will be here first thing in the morning tomorrow Sire,” one of the guards said.

I was confused about what they meant by tomorrow.

What’s happening tomorrow? 

“Make sure they are all fed well and kept clean for tomorrow, we don’t want to have to run down sales tomorrow,” The beta said smiling to himself.

Sales?

Are we getting sold? 

Everything happening felt so confusing as I tried to understand what it was they meant by all they were saying.

I immediately had my head lowered, the minute he looked in my direction.

“Have her placed at a really good price, she’s special” he said walking out.

Price?

I was confused about what he meant by price.

And why it was he wanted me sold off.

“Stand up sluts” one of the guards who had a whip in his hands yelled.

I got up feeling so scared about what they had in mind to do to us.

I wished at this point, my wolf would come out of me but I was too weak to even walk.

Soon afterward, they had us filed up in a queue as the sound of moving chains was all that echoed in the hall.

I held on to my sprained ankle as I felt the wounds eating up from the inside.

I needed treatment real quick, and from the look of things I wasn’t getting any anytime soon.

I winced in pain as I followed suit, and was hoping I would get help real quick…

The next minute, I fell to the ground as I tripped over the chains that held my foot.

“Silly bastards,” one of the guards said as he approached me with a whip…
