Sold to The Alpha

Chapter4

As I walked out, I was met with the mocking faces of Enzo and Amanda. They stood by the doorway, their smirks a stark contrast to the pain and fear that I felt. "Look who's going to the NorthRidge pack today!!!" Amanda teased, pulling at my hair. Her words cut deep, and I felt a lump form in my throat.

Enzo's comment was even more disgusting. "Such nice ass, Freya," he said, smacking my ass as I walked past him. I could hear him and Amanda chuckle, and my eyes welled up with tears once again. I felt like I was going to explode with anger and frustration.

I wanted to skin Enzo alive, to scratch his face and pull his eyes out. But I knew that wouldn't solve anything. Instead, I bit back my retort, my heart boiling with anger. I'll make you all pay for this, I muttered under my breath, sobbing quietly as I walked.

Enzo's behavior was getting more and more aggressive, and I knew I had to stand up for myself. "Don't you dare touch me again, Enzo," I shouted as he raised his hands once again to smack my ass. "Just don't dare f*****g try it." I tried hard to look strong, but my voice betrayed me. I was breaking on the inside.

Enzo's response was predictable. "Who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do and what not to do?" he roared, walking towards me with a menacing look on his face. "I'll touch you whenever and wherever I want, and there's nothing you or anybody can do about it." I knew I had to get away from him, fast.

I quickly walked towards Lycril and my father, who stood downstairs talking to a strange man. I could tell that the man was interested in my drama with Enzo, and I felt a surge of embarrassment. Enzo soon caught up with me, his face twisted in anger. He pulled me closer to himself, his hands roaming over my body in a way that made me feel sick to my stomach.

"Go away from me, Enzo," I said, trying to push him away. But he just laughed, his eyes gleaming with a sick light. I knew I had to get away from him, fast. With all the strength I could gather, I pushed him away, making him stumble backwards.

I took advantage of the distraction to rush downstairs quickly, standing at a safe distance away from Enzo and my father and his wife. But I was close enough to hear their discussion. "I believe your Alpha will like her," Lycril said, her voice dripping with malice. "We've taken out time to groom her to his satisfaction." I felt a surge of anger and humiliation at her words. Groomed me? Like I was some kind of animal?

I stood there, listening to their conversation, feeling more and more like a piece of property being sold to the highest bidder. I knew I had to get out of there, to escape the clutches of my father and Lycril. But for now, I was trapped, forced to endure the humiliation and pain that they inflicted on me.

As I turned towards Lycril, my eyes met with the man standing beside her. He was dressed in a black blazer, his face cold and unyielding. "Freya!" Lycril called out to me, and I hurried towards her, bowing immediately I was in front of them.

"This is Xavier...Xavier, this is Freya," Lycril introduced us, her voice dripping with sweetness. But I could sense the underlying tension in her tone. Xavier's eyes never left my body, his gaze piercing and intense.

"Look up," he finally said, breaking the silence that had enveloped us. He took my chin in his hands and lifted my face to meet his. His touch was firm, but not ungentle. I felt a shiver run down my spine as our eyes met.

"She doesn't seem to me like someone who's been taken care of!" Xavier's voice was deep and firm, his words laced with a hint of disapproval. He shot Lycril a doubting gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Tell him, Freya, how we've been taking good care of you," Lycril nudged me with her elbow, making me flinch.

I muttered a quick yes, unable to meet Xavier's piercing gaze. I sincerely wished he believed me and didn't ask further questions. I covered my bruised hand with a part of my floral gown and brushed my hair forward, letting it cover a part of my neck which was severely bruised.

But Xavier was not so easily fooled. "You don't have to do that," he said, brushing off the hair from my neck. He lifted up my face to behold his gaze, his eyes flashing with anger. "Your neck is bruised, is this still a sign you've been taken care of?" he asked, his voice firm and commanding.

I felt a surge of fear as Xavier's eyes flashed with anger. He turned towards Enzo, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Seize him," he ordered, his voice firm and commanding. I watched in shock as Xavier's men pinned Enzo to the floor.

Xavier took slow steps towards Enzo, his eyes flashing with anger. "You did this to her?" he asked, his voice low and menacing. Enzo was pinned to the floor, his eyes wide with fear. "No, Beta...He didn't. Enzo would never do that. Right, Freya?" Lycril said, her eyes pleading with me to save her son.

But I hesitated, turning my face away from her. I wanted to see Enzo pay for what he had done to me. "Right, Freya?" Lycril repeated, her voice firm and commanding. But Xavier intervened, his voice firm and authoritative. "You're not allowed to interfere in my discussion with your son. Let him speak. You're not his mouthpiece."

Xavier turned towards Enzo, his eyes flashing with anger. "You did this to her?" he asked again, his voice low and menacing. Enzo was pinned to the floor, his eyes wide with fear. "It-it was a mistake, Beta Xavier. I didn't mean to do that to her. It won't happen again, please spare me."

I watched in shock as Enzo begged for mercy, his eyes wide with fear. I had never seen him so vulnerable before. He stared at my father, who looked so humble at the moment. Enzo had expected my father to once again come to his rescue like he had always done, but my father stood still, not breathing a word.

Xavier's voice was firm and commanding as he gave his next order. "Peel the skin off his fingers." He ordered before taking a seat to watch the scene. I felt a surge of fear as I watched Enzo's eyes widen in horror. I knew that I had to get out of there, to escape the clutches of my father and Lycril. But for now, I was trapped, forced to endure the humiliation and pain that they inflicted on me.
