Damian's POV
I watched from the back of the room as the females were brought one by one on stage and bid on like cows to slaughter. The males were cat calling, and whooping at the young women who were paraded across the stage, yelling out numbers trying to get the highest bid. Once the bid was final the female was ushered off to ready themselves for there new mates. It was disgusting ritual, one that almost every pack in every territory had taken apart of. There were no such things as fated mates anymore, or at least that's what everyone thought. Until Now. It was Olivia's turn. I could feel her anxiety from where I stood at the back, she was scared. I took a quick glance around the room and focused my energy, each and every pack member who still stood in the hall were now disappearing one by one. They would be safely placed outside.
My mother was a wolf, a beautiful one at that. She was the daughter of her packs Beta, the night of her 19th birthday she was mated along with ten other females. That night, she was placed in a room to ready herself for her new mate, only when her mate came in she was gone. The pack had no idea where she went, and had assumed she ran. She was named a rogue wolf, and brought incredible shame to her family. My father, a demon, had been watching from the shadows he wanted her and decided he would have her. He kidnapped her, taking her to the depths of hell and forcing himself on her. She had me 7 months later. As far as I know she was dead. I was raised in hell with a demon father and when I turned 20 he decided it was time I return to the surface. Although, I hated the man that called me son, there were some benefits to being a part of hell. I was immortal, although wolfs had unnaturally long life spans they could be killed and did age. I on the other hand could not. I had what some people would call magic or sorcery, I just called it convenient.
Once everyone was gone, I went to the centre of the stage to wait for my little butterfly. Her father came up behind me, ready to attack. "Now now Alpha, I have huge amounts of respect for you and your pack, please don't make me kill you and your gorgeous Luna, after all we are about to be family" I slowed time with a flick of my wrist, we needed to sort out a few family issues before my butterfly walked out.
"What the hell did you just do? where is my pack?" the Alpha growled, anger radiating off of him.
"Oh, they are fine just outside actually. Now, If you would please step away I am about to make your daughter mine" I said darkly.
"You will never have Olivia! she is the daughter of an Alpha, she needs a mate that will be able to lead! and I would never have you lead my pack" Olivia's father was almost foaming at the mouth.
"Oh how lucky, I have no such intention. I am going to take her with me, you my dear father in law, will need to have another heir" "Your Luna looks healthy and spritely i'm sure she could handle another birth!" I grinned and gave the Luna a knowing wink. Her face turned bright red, and she started to nip at her nails.
My eyes flashed red, and my face turned dark. I looked back at the alpha and said calmly " now step back alpha, I am going to take your daughter with me tonight. Say your good byes, it will be the last time you see her"
"what are you?" the alpha looked at my face, with a mixture of fear and anger.
"nothing you need to worry about, I wont hurt you or your pack as long as you keep your distance from what is mine" with that I snapped my finger and waited as time resumed.
"Butterfly" "its so nice to meet you in person" ….
