Chapter 02

Alexa:

I try to hide myself in the dark because I knew I would be in deep trouble if Talia finds out about what I had done. But, I was too late already.

Talia found me, and when she saw her sister laying on the floor in her own pool of blood, she screamed out loud. Her screams caught the attention of so many people in the mansion.

The Alpha came rushing to us when he heard his daughter scream, and I immediately fell on my knees. I wasn't ready for what was going to happen next.

"What have you done? What did you do to my daughter?" He yelled at me.

I watched some maids take Tasha out of the room, and when she was lifted up, I could swear I saw a smirk on her face. I did not understand it at first, but when he landed a resounding slap on my face. I fell on the floor and suddenly knew what Tasha was trying to do.

This wasn't just a simple payback. She was trying to kill me

"Call the auctioneer, we need to get this witch out of here immediately."

I fall on my knees and grab his feet, begging not to be sold. I knew exactly what I was doing, and getting sold was the best option. I simply had to pretend I didn't like it in order to push him further to do it.

I had always dreamt of leaving the mansion, and getting sold was the only way out.

Two men came towards me and dragged me away from where I was seated, and I was taken to the storage room and locked up.

There, I shut my eyes and decided to fall into a deep sleep. I wanted to be in my own dream, and I wanted to see him again tonight.

I figured out I always had realistic dreams about a man. I could vividly describe him because it always looks so real whenever I'm in that dream, and there isn't a moment of pain in my life whenever I'm with him.

I call him, my knight in shining armour.

I huddled myself, waiting patiently for the sky to be bright once again, and a new buyer would arrive to take me away.

I silently prayed it would be the man I see in my dreams everyday, and even when I shut my eyes and fall into a deep sleep, I still found him in my dream again.

"Take the forest part Alexa, it's the only safest place around here."

"No father. Don't leave me behind."

"Alexa, no matter what, you have to run and stay safe." He handed a pendant to me which I was reluctant to collect. "Keep this. Do not let anyone know who you are." My father told me.

How could I understand what he was trying to say to me when I was just 10. "Where's mother?"

Instead of providing an answer, he pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you my angel." "Father, wait. Father, where's mother? Don't leave me father, don't please I'm begging you." It was already too late. He took off running and slowly began changing into his wild form.

I watched in horror as he tore into pieces the people who were standing right in front of him, and those who were blocking his path. I was scared of everyone and everything so I shut my eyes in horror. From behind, I felt a hand grip me, but then I screamed out loud.

"Let me go. Father, they're taking me away. Fatheeeeeerrrr!!!" That was the last I remember because when I woke up, I found myself back in the mansion where it had all started.

*****

"Fatheeeeeerrrr." 

It was only a dream, and I was sweating profusely. I tried not to be scared because I had only myself in the entire world. No one wants to have anything to do with me after my father and mother's death.

I had no idea how my mother died, but I did know how my father died. I am always all alone in the scary room with no one by my side. I try to stand on my feet, but a heavy force pull me down and I am unable to resist.

My stomach was hurting so bad because I had nothing to eat since. Just as the grumbling sound came again, I huddle myself in the dark room waiting desperately for when the door would be open and I would walk out 

"Hey… come out." I heard a deep loud and manly voice say to me.

The mansion guard came towards me and pulled me up on my feet because I was too weak to even stand up. He dragged me out, but I didn't fight back and I wasn't going to fight back.

He continued pulling me till we got out of the mansion. I was forced to get into the car.

Sitting alone, a tear fell from my eyes. I knew my life would surely take another turn entirely if I'm sold, but I didn't know what was awaiting me out there.

We soon got to the auction house. I could hear the loud voices of strong Alphas, betas and powerful people. I became scared all of a sudden. Living in the mansion was enough misery, but then it might get worse if I'm sold.

I was forced into the house and made to go on my knees behind the curtains. Neither my uncle nor his daughters were here. 

I silently waited behind the curtains, expecting to be called anytime soon, but no, it wasn't happening. Just when I had given up all hope, the curtains finally opened.

Everyone was staring at me, and the once loud chanting crowds became quiet once my face was showed to them. I could hear their endless murmur, until it became louder. They were calling me all sort of names. They were angry, they called me beast, witch and every name that I didn't deserve because of my past.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, you don't wanna miss out on this one."

"Bring someone better lady." I heard an old alpha say. I was simply disgusted.

"Listen to me everyone. She'll only be sold to the first person that steps out here in 2 minutes for only 500 hundred dollars, so who's in. Whoever takes her had the free will to do anything to her."

My heart began thumping so hard against it's ribcage. Whoever steps out in the next two minutes would become my master and I would be left to serve that person probably for the rest of my life. I didn't know what to expect, but even for suck cheap price, no one was forthcoming.

2 minutes passed, and it turned into 5 whole minutes, but no one wanted me. My uncle had said he would kill her if I returned back home.

I was about to be dragged off the stage, but then there was a loud voice.

"I'll take her." He said.

His face, I couldn't see his face before I was being dragged away ready to be sold to him. To the beginning of my misery.
