Sold Over
Miley Rosewood
I always knew my journey would lead to this moment, but some part of me still hoped for a different outcome. The only thing that genuinely surprises me is my acceptance of fate waiting ahead of me. I watch my reflection in a mirror and observe the others preparing me for my final departure. Starting tomorrow, I won't ever return to my old home. Upon realising this, I feel relieved. I hate how my pack treats me as if I wasn't a person like them but instead a thing.
''Strange, how much I despise them that I'd rather go with him.'' My throat tightens in a fit of fear when I remember meeting my mate-to-be, my future husband, my 10-year fiancee and my Alpha for the first time. He seemed charming and kind, and I just hope he won't disappoint me later on.
''It's time, your Alpha awaits.'' I sigh, still treated like I am nothing, and nod in an acknowledgement. Then I stand up and realise that from now on, my life will completely change. I can't help but feel nervous, I want to share my fears with anyone, but I know too well that nobody in this bloody pack cares about my well-being.
I slowly step aside and instantly am welcome with the sight of Lucas, my soon-to-be life partner. He smiles at me and holds out his hand. I can't help but blush when I accept it. He leads the way to his car. After he opens the door for me, I step inside. I sit in the furthest corner, remembering everything I've learned.
''So, your name is Miley, right?'' His question catches me off guard, and his palm on my thigh does too. I nod while keeping my eyes down, waiting for his further orders. We both stay silent for a long time.
''You have not presented yet, have you?'' I flinch upon hearing his voice again. But not wanting to create any unnecessary trouble I just silently agree once again. His hand grip my thigh harsher, and I have to bite my tongue not to snap at him. It's starting to get uncomfortable, and I begin to get cautious.
''Don't worry, you'll lead a fruitful life as my main Omega,'' he adds when I don't verbally answer any of his previous questions. I move my head in an agreement once more before registering his words.
''What? What do you mean by the main Omega?'' I lift my gaze from the floor and meet his amused stare and crooked smirk. My stomach turns, and I shiver. However, I make sure not to let him see my weakness.
''What I said, you'll become my main Omega. I already have five wives, and I want to marry more. Don't you dare think that your presence in my pack will change a thing, understood?'' His tone suddenly shifts to cold and demanding, the Alpha tone. I turn my head to avoid looking at him, not wanting to submit.
''He practically has a harem and plans on making me a part of it. Disgusting bastard. If he thinks I'll willingly become part of that, he has another thing coming.'' I roll my eyes when he forcefully tugs my body to face him.
''You will answer when asked, b*tch!'' His statement is followed by a sharp slap to my left cheek. I let out a grunt of pain and something inside me shifts with anger.
''Yes.'' I hiss through my gritted teeth. However, he chooses to hit me again at the same place as he did before.
''You will address me as Alpha all the time, do you understand?'' He snarls, and this time I don't hold myself back when wanting to growl at him. He looks taken aback but soon bursts out laughing.
''Don't worry, you'll get good training, my little Omega. You won't even remember your name when we're done with you.'' Something unsettling resides inside my chest when he calls me his little Omega.
''What do you mean we?'' I ask with fear lacing my voice.
''Oh, you don't know?'' His snickering laughter fills the car.
''In my pack, every Alpha is welcome to train the Omega before they can fulfil their true purpose, bearing children of Alphas.'' My breath hitches and I desperately try to open the door to jump out and save myself. If I thought my family treated me, this was an absolute horror. I can't live in this pack.
''No need to tire yourself out, little one. Only the driver and I can open the car. Your training will begin soon, and you'll learn how to listen to me.'' He leans closer and licks my tears, which I didn't know about until this moment.
''Please, please, let me go, I swear I won't tell anybody a thing! Just leave me, and I'll never trouble you again! I don't even know the name of your pack, or even your surname. I'm no threat to you!'' My desperation and panic get the better of me, and my words spill out faster than ever.
''My name is Lucas Reynolds, the leader of The Shadow Night pack. Now, letting you go free means a threat to them, and I can't let that happen. As a leader, you see, I have a responsibility for my pack's well-being. Don't worry, and soon you'll beg to stay.'' My last remain of hope shatters after his statement. I realise how much of a bastard my 'Alpha' is. I silently swear to myself not to let him win, ever.
Soon, we finally arrive at his pack's territory, and I can't stop myself from looking for the easiest escape route. Unfortunately, he notices and covers my eyes with some blindfold as well as tie my hands together.
I am Miley Rosewood, and I'm going to make sure his life becomes a living hell if he believes he'll succeed at taming me. I was born Night Hunter, and my pack does not lose.
