I Reincarnated as an Alpha

CHAPTER TEN: To Be Sold

The ground is shaking.

Kana's eyes slowly open but sees nothing but darkness. Cramped darkness. Her arms are bent on her back and when she tried to pull them away, something stopped her from moving.

A rope. Her hands and feet were tightly bound by a rope. And the reason why it was dark and narrow was because she was placed in a sack with a smell so strong that she passed out.

Seriously, is she some good that is being transported for her to be secured in a sack?

Small puffs of breath are produced by her cracked lips, her chest heaving for clean air. She had just woken up but she feels like losing consciousness again.

Suddenly, she jolted as the ground seemed to have ruptured.

Ground?

No. She's being transported in a carriage. The sound of the wheels pressing against rocks and hitting a curve made her realize that there was no way she was lying on the ground.

It's just one problem after another in this world. More than that, is it normal for a child in this age and world to be involved in these kinds of dangerous incidents? Is she going to be mistreated a lot?

Kana grumbled inside. But somehow, she's wondering. Wondering whether her brothers are searching for her. If they are concerned about her. If they will come rescue her like a damsel in distress.

Right then, she hears snortling and loud laughter break the silence.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who would have thought the guards in that prestigious Academy will be bought so easily? I thought they would at least put up a fight." One man's hoarse voice said.

Another chuckled again, "What do you expect? I bet the money they were paid was three times larger than what they get from the Academy! Those nobles are pure money grubbers who will do anything to hold on to their gold."

"But still, to think that we are being paid 100 million quan just to dispose of this child. That b***h sure isn't stingy." A younger voice than the ones she heard a while ago spouted.

Kana felt a shiver crawl up her spine. Dispose? b***h? That can't be. Does that mean they're going to kill her?

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Kill her, assault her, cut her to pieces. That b***h told us she didn't care how we did it as long as she disappeared!"

"I have an idea."

"Ain't that rare! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! So, spit it out!"

"How about we sell her to a brothel? Instead of just being satisfied with 100 million quan, we should use her to get some more! See, she's a fine beauty, exceptional even. If we spread the word that she's a highborn, how many people do you think will line up just to have a taste of her rare meat?"

"Ooooooohhh! You might be onto something. And if we tell people that she's a Sinclair, that number will triple! Her father has loads of enemies. What they would do to his daughter just to get back at him- I can't even imagine! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"You're right. And we'll take all the money she will fetch. Hahahaha!"

The three men proceeded to laugh so maniacally that Kana felt like throwing up, her body quivering at their words and intentions. When she found out she is a noble, this is not the life she was expecting!

Aldrin.. Atlas.. she whispered inside her mind.

The carriage came to a stop.

"We're miles away from Siline and that b***h said that she'll make sure nobody follows us for a while. By the time the knights figure out what's happening, we should be out of the Grand Duke's territory."

"This looks like a decent place to rest."

"It looks abandoned."

"A lot of houses in the outskirts of Siline are abandoned. That's because they move to the inner city in search for a better life. Get the child. We need to make sure she's still alive."

After a few seconds, Kana heard heavy steps being drawn towards her. The squeaking of the man's boots scraped against her ears as a latch dislodged. The person's breathing was also heavy, twisting her stomach hard.

Someone pulled the sack. Then a hand gripped Kana's feet, causing her to jolt. She was lifted up and carried like a dead score over one's shoulder. The person sauntered and as if she was a bag of rice, she was thrown into the floor carelessly. Her back stung from the drop as her eyes seemed to be put in a daze.

'Sons of bitches!' She retorted in her mind, her voice still nonexistent.

She grunted.

"Get the sack off her." A man said. And like he said, someone pulled the sack away harshly, the rough bag grazing against her smooth skin.

Finally, her eyes adjusted to the light and to her captors. Two of them were middle aged men and another who looked to be in his late twenties. All of them had dog ears and tails.

One of the middle aged men was rotund and had a bottle of what smelled like alcohol in his hand. He took it to his lips and drank heartily; the contents slid down his bearded chin. He stared at her and laughed, "She's a noble, all right! Just her clothes will sell for ten thousand quan. And look at that skin! Only highborns have that refined quality of skin. Buckle up, boys! We'll be living the high life now! Hehe!"

"She's got that fire in her eyes." The young man laughed and chortled, "Pretty soon that will disappear once she enters the brothel."

In other words, they're going to sell her as a p********e. Like hell her brothers will allow that. That is, if they'll come for her.

She looked at them with contempt and disgust. The young man walked to her and held her face in his hand. He licked his lower lip and grinned at her, his ugly features showing, "But I think the clients wouldn't mind if we have a taste first."

The men seemed to be united in that ill thought as their twisted laughter filled the air in the shabby wooden house. The young man shoved Kana to the floor. He pulled out a cloth and rammed it inside her small mouth, his other hand clenching tightly on her neck. One man came to hold her legs down as the bearded alcohol-reeking man began pulling away his pants.

Kana's face is washed with horror, her small body ineffective in resisting. Her throat seemed to be burning and as their hands lingered on her body, she wanted to retch. Her eyes flooded with tears at the idea of the unthinkable.

Somebody. Somebody come and save her.
