My Ruthless Alpha Biker (Don's Moon Mate)

(Faced With An End Or A Caged Beginning) Selene Melvissil POV. My gaze flitted over the guests my father had invited from all over the neighboring packs and some came from beyond, who wouldn't? They were all so eager to feast their selfish gazes on who my father would pick to be his successor. I felt pretty confident, my father was sure to pick me but I had been having this feeling of unease for the past few days and it wouldn't go away no matter how much I reassured myself. My gaze ran through my pack members who gave me a wide berth and I felt that ugly pang hit my chest again. Something was going to go wrong this evening and I just knew it but I couldn't figure it out no matter how much I tried. “Too perfect”my wolf whispered into my head and I nodded, she was right. Everything was going way too perfect for me not to feel uneasy. Nothing ever went perfectly for me ever since I arrived in this world and I had known earlier on so as to be able to take caution when it was d-. “Selene, there you are” A voice washed over me and I turned around with a small smile to find beta Jared. He returned my smile instantly and I felt my heart lift up. “Hey” I greeted awkwardly and his lips twitched but his smile stayed in place. “You don't look comfortable here. Come on, we'll be back early for the announcement” my smile grew at that and I nodded as he grabbed my hand and led me out of the ballroom amidst stares and many glares. Everyone envied the bond I shared with him, and no one wanted me to have him but he didn't listen to any of that and chooses to still be with me. “Goddess, that felt far too stifling.” I heaved out a sigh of relief when we were far from the noise and the chatter and the tense atmosphere but I got no response. “Are you okay?” I asked with concern as I turned to beta Jared and he gave me a smirk that sent shivers down my spine. That was odd, beta Jared was my mate and although we had been keeping it a secret for years, he had never made me feel this way at all. “Something's wrong” my wolf piped up again but before I could react or check it out, Jared grabbed me and slammed something into my neck. My lips parted as I pulled away and I began to speak but my voice was never heard, my whole body felt weaker than ever and I felt panic surge through me. “W-what did you give me?” I staggered on my feet, stumbling to the ground as his presence loomed over me with a killing glint in his eyes and I felt fear creep into me. “Do you know how hard it was to act around you? All these years, always whining in my ears like a little baby. At first I did feel sympathy for you but then the mate bond tried to pin me down with you,” he sighed as if the very notion pained him and I crawled backwards, pain almost breaking me into pieces. “But your sister came up with the plan, to make sure you leave and never return. Where you're going my love, it's not a place you'll ever want to return from.” he whispered with a sick elation on his face and I began to hear growls coming from behind me. “What have you done? What did I ever do to you?” I tried to speak but no sound left my lips and I forced myself to try and transform into my wolf but it didn't work at all. The place where she always resided since she arrived felt awfully void, like she was never there at all and fear gripped my heart tightly. I could lose the bond but not my wolf. Panic almost made me go mad as once again I tried to call on my wolf but received no response in return, not even a stir. Where was she? What had that bastard given to me? Why had he done this to me? I felt tears sting my eyes the more I thought about it. “I can't risk any loose ends so here we go. I, Jared Smithson, reject you Selene Melvissil Gibson as my mate and fated,” the breaking was instant and as sharp as a knife cut. My eyes widened as my lips tore open in a silent scream, my heart felt like it was being pulled apart at that moment. How could this be happening to me? I had played by the rules, done everything I was asked to do and all that I could to make sure that I held a place in the hearts of my family, mates and my pack members. But none of them saw me as more than just the help, they all despised me because of my mother's actions when she was still alive. Why was I being held accountable for things I didn't do? Why do I have to suffer for it.. My body curled in on itself as I clawed at my chest, trying to stop the pain from spreading but it continued even when the bond had clearly been broken. Some feet away from me, Jared was bent over and I could see the arriving silhouettes of my father and Estelle, my sister but Jared spoke up before they could get any closer. “Take her away and make sure the b***h doesn't escape” hands grabbed at me and I screamed with all I had, trying but failing to escape their grasp as the pack lights became more dimmer and dimmer the further into the forests they went. I didn't know how long I struggled before one of them became annoyed with my struggling and knocked me out. I felt a drowning sensation pull me out of my deep sleep and I shot up with fear only to resurface from a pool, someone held my bound arms tightly as they repeated the movements again and again until I could no longer fight. “This one seems like trouble,” one of the women said with a snicker and the other one scowled as they washed me up quickly and took me out of the pool. “W-where is this?” A sharp slap met my face as I was smacked speechless. “Don't make a sound, little fool.” the other woman warned before she quickly dressed me up in a shawl that barely covered anything and threw me out past some red curtains. I was so disoriented as someone else grabbed me and threw me into a metal cage before locking it up. “Move it” this person yelled out and the cage began to lift but I was left feeling numb as pain racked through my whole body like a tidal wave unable to calm down. How could I? I had been betrayed by my mate and my family. All for reasons I had no clue about, what had I ever done to them to make them do this to me?. Cheers filled my ears and I instantly sat up, looking past the metal bars to find myself under the spotlight of an—auction house?. No, no, no, n-no. I pressed myself harder into the back of the metal cage but before I could hide myself like I wanted to, a sharp sting sent me jumping with a scream. They had whipped me. The woman from earlier stood glaring at me as she rolled a whip between her fingers and fear almost crippled me as I moved myself away from her, unconsciously putting myself in front of all those people. “Here we have a beauty, a fresh one. A virgin. Now who wouldn't want a virgin who could cook, clean, wash and do everything. And lastly, she's good in bed.” A projected voice filled my ears and hoots followed after this. Many began to lean in, each leering gaze fixed on me and I felt my skin crawl with disgust. “Where is this place?”my wolf's voice reached my ears and I sighed with relief. “I thought I lost you,” I choked up as a tear slipped past my eyes and I furiously wiped it away, they wouldn't see me cry. They couldn't. “That bastard stuck me with wolfsbane,” she informed me and my eyes widened. Jared had shot me down with wolfsbane? How did he know I had been manifesting my wolf? Or was it a wild guess? Or maybe he did so because he felt I had some werewolf genes in me? Enough for it to take hold?. There was no way he could have known, I wanted to tell him as soon as the ball was over but I never got the chance to do so, he turned on me… my own mate… colluding with my family to sell me off. “He also added some tranquilizer and silver in it, he went all round to make sure we didn't survive it,” my wolf said in explanation, her voice growing more weaker by each word she uttered and I felt a burn begin to emit from my chest. “The bid starts at a million.” The projected voice called out and many began to bid and I watched as the bid went from a million to ten million, to twenty million then to thirty million and I almost choked up. Thirty million just to purchase me? “Is that the last bid? Thirty million going once, twice, thri-” “Thirty million….dollars.” Gasps filled my ears and I quickly turned around to check who it was that had bought me at such an outstanding amount of money but found him standing at the far side at the back and shadows cloaked him so much that I was unable to see his face. But the aura emanating from him made me shiver with fear and I knew, I just knew that this person was not someone I should be messing with. But who exactly was he? And why would he bid thirty million dollars on me?! What exactly did he want to use me for? The thought of being used as a s*x machine sent my stomach rippling with revulsion and I clamped hard on my lips as a small pathetic sound of fear left me.
