CHAPTER 1
Jason POV
“Five million dollars!!” The auctioneer yelled as the whole room went silent.
His eyes widened and I could see the evident shock etched in his eyes.
“Going for fi…five million dollars—” the auctioneer waited patiently for a deal breaker, but nobody said a word.
He slammed his hand hard against the table. “Done!” he affirmed. “Jason Adolphus has been sold!”
That there closed the deal.
I was dragged out of the auction house and tossed into the feet of the Alpha who purchased me.
My heart raced with throbbing fear, and I could feel my limbs growing cold as I sat right next to him in his SUV.
His eyes remained firm, jaw clenched tightly with a stoic expression.
We drove into his villa, and my eyes darted around, taking in the wonderful sight that surrounded me.
“She will show you to your room.” He said his first words to me.
Then he briskly walked into the mansion.
The maiden standing right next to me ushered me into the house and straight to my room.
She left the room immediately, and I just sat on the edge of the bed, eyes wandering like a lost sheep as I tried to c***k the puzzle in my head.
I had a lot of questions, and most were fueled with the throbbing fear piercing deep through my nerves.
The door creaked softly, and my heart jumped right into my stomach as my eyes locked onto the door, patiently waiting for the reveal.
Then a male house keeper walked in, eyes firm with a soft grin across his face.
“Alpha Luther has demanded that you take your bath and join him down for dinner.”
Me?
How can I, an omega, be sitting at the same table with an Alpha?
Nah! Maybe he wants me to sit by his feet.
The housekeeper assisted my feeble feet to the bathroom, and made me sit in a tub.
He washed me, cleaned me up properly as I hadn't taken a proper bath in days—maybe weeks.
He helped me into some nice pants and a shirt.
My heart raced, fingers trembled and palms became sweaty as I walked down the stairs to the dining hall.
Alpha Luther sat across the table, his eyes firm as usual, and his shoulders pushed an intimidating aura.
“Sit!” He ordered sharply, his voice cutting through the thin veil of silence that once cloaked the entire room.
“Wh…where?” I stuttered, mouth shivering as I tried so hard to keep myself standing.
His hand gestured towards the chair right next to me.
I swallowed hard as perspiration dropped through my face.
“Are you sure—uhm—I mean—”
“Sit!” His voice cut through mine.
I dropped my ass in the chair right away, keeping myself glued and my eyes thrown downwards.
Then he cleared his throat. “You can go ahead and serve yourself.”
The savoury smell of the meal was already pulling me, causing me to drool.
So I grabbed a plate and did as he instructed.
Then I pounced on my meal, forcing every bit of it down my throat.
Meanwhile, Alpha Luther calmly cleared his plate.
His eyes suddenly became locked onto me, and I literally felt like sinking onto the earth.
“I'll be in my room. If you need anything, you can tell your personal maiden to report to me with your request.”
He stood up and walked up the stairs.
I sat there, staring in awesome awe.
This wasn't the reception I was expecting.
What will make an Alpha to be so lenient to me…an Omega.
There's definitely got to be something wrong somewhere.
I walked up the stairs back to my room.
Just as I pushed the door open, I was startled as I jumped in fear upon noticing a stranger in my room.
“I'm…I'm very sorry. Maybe I came to the wrong room.” I quickly turned to take my leave.
“You're in the right place, Jason,” she said. “I just came to see you.” Her soft voice caused a sudden calm within my nerves.
My brows furrowed softly. “How do you know my name?”
A soft grin spread across her face. “Come…sit.”
My eyes darted between her and space right next to her on the edge of the bed.
With slow and hesitant steps, I went ahead to sit right next to her.
But I squeezed myself to a corner, making sure I wasn't encroaching into her space.
“You have no reason to be scared, Jason.”
“Why do you say so?”
“Why should you be scared?” Her eyes peered straight into mine.
I exhaled heavily, trying so hard to keep my heart rate normal.
“What could an Alpha possibly want from an Omega like me?” I asked. “He definitely wants to add me to his list of slaves, or worse, even use me for a sacrifice.”
She chuckled softly. “Trust me, Alpha Luther has no plans of hurting you.”
I scoffed. “Trust? How am I supposed to trust you? I don't know who you are?”
“I am Sage Freya.”
“How's that supposed to make me trust you?”
She took a deep breath, attempting to draw closer to me, but I instinctively moved away.
“You're not here to be harmed. Besides, you have a great significance in this place.”
I chuckled softly, almost bursting into loud laughter.
“For a Sage, you seem quite—”
“Funny?”
“I was going to say—foolish.”
“I'm not a Sage,” she replied. “I'm actually the High Seeress of this pack; the Moonspire pack.”
I cleared my throat. “I am an Omega. What could I possibly offer that would be of any use to Alpha Luther.”
She paused. “Your sight.”
My brows furrowed as I jumped to my feet, creating a gap between us.
“You mean my eyes?”
She shook her head. “You're blessed with a rare gift, young boy.”
“What gift?”
She stood up, hands wrapped in front of her as she took one step closer to me.
“You have visions…dreams of things that will happen. You see the future, Jason.”
I scoffed. “Perhaps you have me mistaken for someone else.”
She smiled as she looked straight into my eyes.
“Your gift can save us. It can save the Moonspire pack from the danger ahead of us.”
