Sold To The Alpha

The day Everything would change

When I awoke, the house was silent, which was scary. I rolled out of bed, reaching for the brush that used to belong to my mother, and dragged it threw the knots in my hair. I guess if i am to be sold like a slave I should atleast be somewhat presentable. Once I could be sure all the knots were gone, I pulled my curly red hair into a pony tail and began the search for something to wear. Almost all my clothes were either far too small or far too big, but I settled on a light blue sun dress that had once belonged to my mother.

Content with my outfit and hair, I began to stuff small things into the potato sack that my father had allowed for me to pack to take with me. I quickly stuffed a few outfits and the few remaining things I had of my mom's. I tied up the bag and sat it by the door. Sitting back on the bed, I pulled my knees up to my chest trying to chase my own fear away. Mae was antsy. I could feel her being restless. We had heard father walking around downstairs, yet he hadn't yelled for me nor come to find out why I was not downstairs already.

"Lets GO NOW!" I heard my father scream, as I got up from bed and walked over to the window to see a slick black car heading down the drive towards the house.

I grabbed the potato sack holding my few belongings and headed down the stairs. When I reached the front door, my father stood waiting. He reached for my arm, pulling me in front of him to stand in the center of the steps leading off the porch.

I stood silently staring at my feet wishing I could just disappear into the forest, but I knew it was far too late for that. The black car came to an abrupt stop at the front of the house. I was gripping the bag I held so tightly my knuckles had gone white . I heard what sounded like 2 doors open and shut but I did not dare to look up to see what was going on.

"She's all ready to go" My father growled from behind me as he turned and went into the house, shutting the door behind him leaving me standing on the porch alone.

" Ma'am I can take your bag" I looked up to realize a boy no older than me was standing in front of me with his hand reached out, so i handed him the bag and followed him as he turned and headed back towards the car. He had a kind face with a strong build. I did not know if I should be afraid or grateful, but non the less he held open the back door for me and I climbed in to the car.

"I'm Josh" He said as he climbed into the car after me. "And that is ambos". He pointed to the man in the driver's seat. " I am Marlee" I whispered, staring down at my hands.

We rode in silence for what felt like hours! i had my head rested against the window watching all the beautiful scenes roll past as we drove. I could feel his stare from beside me "Are you hungry?" he asked suddenly. " We still have a long ride ahead and we should go ahead and stop if we need to!" He explained. I nodded in agreement, knowing my stomach would soon tell on me anyway. " What would you like they have a small diner up ahead? I can grab the food and we can eat during the ride."

"I honestly am okay with anything" I smiled, thankful for his kindness. He hurried out of the car and into the small building we had parked in front of. A few moments later, he climbed back in the car holding 2 bags that smelled like heaven . "This one is yours" He said, shoving the paper sack into my hands. I opened up the bag to find a small fry and burger which I wouldn't have seemed like much except it was probably the best meal i had in over a year.

We ate in silence, enjoying the juicy, messy burgers and fries. When I could no longer eat another bite, I wrapped the remainders and stuffed them back in the bag. " Thank you so much" I whispered, not daring to look at the man beside me, but more grateful than he could ever know. "Why do you seem so shocked at our kindness ma'am" said a gruff voice from the front seat and i realized this was the first time i had heard ambos speak. "I just didn't expect so much kindness for a slave like myself is all" i admitted worried that i had upset the man.

"Slave ??" Howled josh from beside me laughing as if he had heard the most hilarious thing " Who told you that you were to be a slave ?" He looked at me, curiosity clear on his face. "Well." I started afraid to say the wrong thing " My father mentioned he sold me to the alpha so i had just assumed" i whispered while staring at my hands. " That man was your bloody father" Josh growled causing me to sink further into my seat not sure what to say so i just nodded instead

He sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose with a deep sigh and he started " Since no one else has explained, let me, Alpha Anderson's mate passed away in an attack a couple years ago. Since then, his parents have been hounding him to find a new wife and Luna for the pack,, so you see my lady you are no slave at all. Although yes, Alpha anderson's parents did purchase you from your half-witted father not as a slave, but in hopes that the alpha will take a fancy to you."

"Me?" I gasped in surprise. "Yes you", He chuckled " The alpha is a hard guy to win over and things may be hard at first, but you will be well taken care of at the pack house far better than you have been, I would say from the looks of it!" He added sounding slightly annoyed. I nodded in response and laid my head to rest against my window.

Mae stirred inside my head at the new information rolling around inside our head. Was it possible this Alpha could fall for me? Was it possible that my life may finally not be a endless parade of torture? I smiled at the thought as I slowly drifted to sleep dreaming of all the wonderful things that may be in store for me in this new-found chapter of life!

When I woke, the car was coming to a stop behind the biggest gate I have ever seen in my life! I watched in amazement as the guards waved us in and we drove through the gate towards the massive mansion that was on the other side! My mouth fell open in amazement. I couldnt help the fear that rose in my stomach, not knowing what was in store for me!
