Auctioned Off To The Cursed Alpha

Five

She was not supposed to be here. She should have been in some place she did not know but she was caught. Dehlia was caught by one of the maids when she was trying to steal some food from the kitchen for her escape. The maid had screamed, attracting the attention of the guards who were about to change for the night ones for the night duty.

Dahlia has quickly been bundled and taken to Cameron's room where she was thrown at his feet. It did not take Cameron long to put two and two together. immediately the bag she carried was emptied in front of him, he had grown angry and asked for her to be dragged out.

Dahlia was whipped a hundred strokes of lashes before she was thrown into the dungeon and locked. She remained there without food and water and without her wounds her wounds cleaned until she was brought out today.

She was bathed, her wound that had already bled out and dried up was cleaned. She was dressed up in a yellow gown and makeup was put on her face. She hated the gown, she hated that color; yellow. This gown was the most beautiful gown she has ever worn but she couldn't appreciate it as she felt like a lamb going to a slaughter, like queen Anne Boleyn on her way to execution.

Dread settled in her stomach immediately she was brought out before all the alphas and she knew that her fate had been sealed. There was no way she could escape anymore so all Dahlia could do was pray to the moon goddess that she was sold off to the cruelest of all alphas because she might just die early.

She nearly collapsed to the ground when alpha Lazarus shouted the highest amount and no other person said anything. She was going to be sold to a lecherous man who was over seventy.

She hated this man with all her life the same way she hated Cameron. He and Cameron were best of friends and this man always made sure he tapped her behind her anytime they encountered each other. He had even groped her breast more than once. Dahlia who had just prayed that she be sold off to the cruelest alpha changed her mind quickly, she still wanted to live a little more. But there was nothing she could do if Alpha Lazarus was the highest bidder.

She was about to resign herself to fate; she would just kill herself before she allowed this bastard to lay his hand on her when she lifted her head to look around the hall hoping that someone else, anyone would bid for her when she saw him.

He was seated at the same table with her father but she could not recognize him or remember if she had ever seen him. His dark piercing eyes were on her and they looked as if they could see through her to the deepest being of her being.

Dahlia froze as she felt something hot flow through her body to settle in the pit of her stomach. The whole hall disappeared and it was like they were the only people in the room. Attraction exploded and the air crackled with tension as Dahlia took in his features.

Handsome but cold face that would put the gods to shame. She could only see his upper body from where she was standing because of the table in front of him but his chest was broad and with that alone, she knew he would be so tall when he stood up.

Her breath clogged up in her throat when he opened his mouth and mentioned an amount higher than Alpha Lazarus's own causing an uproar in the hall. It took her a while for it to register in her head that he was also bidding for her. With the amount he just mentioned, he was now the highest bidder.

She also saw surprise flashed in his eyes like he had done what he just did without his knowledge but the surprise was gone within the twinkle of an eye making her think that she saw wrong, especially when he raised his voice and still called out the amount again.

His tone was firm this time, "Twenty million dollars"
