Mate!

I had no idea how long I slept nor how I managed to fall asleep in such a terrifying place but I woke up to see a plate of food seated on a tray beside me on the floor.
I moaned in pain as I stretched myself to reach out for it, without wasting no time, I gobbled the small quantity of food on the plate in less than a minute as I was very much hungry to remember the eating etiquette, or whatever they called it.
After some hours, the cell door clicked open and a low but terrifying groan emerged from the dark corner of the cell which freaked me out.
I consciously ignored it and concentrated on the entrance though it was too dark to see anything I picked up the footsteps approaching. They were printed straight in my direction.
As if I wasn't supposed to hear anything, I trembled back as the steps got closer. I prayed it wasn't alpha Karl. The thought of setting my eyes on him set my whole being in a trembling circle, too scared to face him again. Not after how horrified he appeared to be.
The hatred I saw in his eyes earlier was scary, I still could feel the horror in my veins and my liver tightened as my poor lungs gaped for oxygen. My eyes tightly shut making use of my ears.
The footsteps ceased and I was about to unseal my eyes when suddenly a hand gripped my throat forcing a terrifying gape out of my lips.
My lips trembled in shock and fear as I sighted the hug figure of alpha Karl. His massive hands clapped on my throat as if aiming to chock me to death. My lungs screamed for air, and my eyes widely opened as tears tore down my eyes.
"Please..." I begged for the first time.
I was tired of living, tired of everything. All those who cared about me are no more. Mom and Lilly, I didn't know why I even pleaded, or perhaps I was afraid of the pain.
"Shut up!" he growled on my face sending my hair floating behind me as the wind of air poured from his mouth.
His eyes were scary red!
Resentment and bitterness were evident in his eyes.
"Your worse mistake is being the daughter of a w***e! " his words sent me on edge.
I knew nothing much about my mother. She was never open to me, so whatever he meant by that, I was as confused as hell. Though it hurt when my mother was being disrespected before me.
He shoved me across the space while I winked in pain holding my throat in tears" I will make you regret what you ever did wrong to my family.
"I will make you suffer for it. Welcome to your new world!" An evil grin showcased his face as he stared right through my eyes.
I hated him back! I was sure he saw that in my eyes because he slapped me across the face breaking the few seconds of silence in the cell
"This is unfair." I murmured in my sob.
"The world is not fair, kid." he whispered and knelt before me. "Don't act so innocent because am sure your stupid mother has thought you everything you need to know."
"Enough!" I gathered my strength and spoke back. I was fed up with his frequent disrespect towards my mother. "Can you please leave my mom alone?" I forced myself to face the ground.
My face was flat on the dirty floor. I had no idea what the deal between him and my mother was but I couldn't stand it.
I was young and small. Too young to speak back at an alpha like him. Blood moon pack was surely a powerful pack even though nobody told me that.
"You don't have the right to ask me for anything. You lost every right when your mom chose to take the wrong path" he smirked creasing my cheek. "You are nothing but a slave. Know your place!"
The cell opened again and two guards stepped in.
"Take her out." he instructed and in a blink, I was being dragged out of the cell.
I didn't know what I did wrong but the pack members just stared at me in disgust as if they had an idea about me.
Soon I was taken to the kitchen but we took the back door and halted in front of a workshop.
"Adam, this is the alpha's gift for you."
I was pushed to the ground. The man called Adam smiled as he met my gaze. He was a little older with hair covering almost half of his face. A little scary if I was to express my emotion.
"Quite young and beautiful." he said almost in a whisper.
"It's the alpha's order." one of the guards said in a warning tone.
Adam nodded looking down at my pitiful figure. "You better not distract my work right now" he scoffed walking back inside " on it then" the guards left leaving me with the unknown man.
I didn't know how to feel but I was insanely sad. Whether to blame my mom or me. I shouldn't have spoken back at him. I should have kept my mouth shut.
"Don't stay there come inside." I raised my head to see Adam staring at me. "What did you do?"
"I spoke back at him."
He shrugged and nodded, " do you know why you are here?"
I shook my head staring blankly inside the workshop. "but I know it's nothing to be proud of." I added.
"Is good you can imagine." he smiled.
Inside was strangely uncomfortable. All kinds of killing and suicidal stuff you can think of. My mouth fell to the floor and my eyes snooped around in terror.
"A lot of money you have got there." a bully man spoke looking directly at me from the entrance. "
A lot of money, I see" Adam mimicked his words with a nod. His eyes flickered in my direction.
"Don't touch anything." I pulled myself from what looked like a door.
"Is she the new beef for the market?"
"Simon!" Adam shouted eyeing him as if telling him something. I felt nervous with the way they were watching each other.
"Is the alpha's order." he finally broke the silence and concentrated on fixing the door" I heard one of your girls tried to escape last night." Simon inquired.
I felt he was saying something to me indirectly.
"Unfortunately my men caught her before she did." Adam murmured under his breath. It was like he didn't want me to hear. Silence consumed the place before Simon talked again.
"I don't think this whole pack war is ever going to end" he took a bit of the roster meat before him.
"I heard that too." Adam sighed.
A guard entered the room, "everything is well arranged. But one of the women is not looking good." he announced as his eyes landed on me.
"She can fill in." he said referring to me.
I gazed at Adam not knowing what was going on.
Adam hesitated for a while before nodding to his words, "she is young and beautiful." he complimented nudging me to follow him.
"Clean up kid." Simon said in his deep scary voice.
Minutes turned to hours and finally, the car pulled over and I found myself among women in some kind of cage with a bright light towering over us in the middle of a room filled with people. Men staring at us and murmuring to themselves.
Fear and confusion sipped in my heart.
"The girls are here! Beautiful ones! " a man stood up and announced, "let the auction begin."
None of them was my age as I was far younger.
"The young one is much better." I heard someone say and my veins went dead.
"I will pay twice the amount." he promised.
The caged opened and one of us was pulled out. As they continue offering money by raising the cardboard in their hand which had numbers on it. That was when I realized my state.
I was in deep thought when I felt a hand on my shoulder. The man pulled me out of the cage and immediately my eyes met with a beautiful blue eye behind the crew. We gazed at each other for a while before the man dragged me from the group of men in the room.
He shoved me into a dark room and closed the door.
I winked in pain on the floor.
"Welcome sweetheart." I snapped my head back and a man was standing just at the door with his hands in the pocket of his blue pant. Something about the way he stared at me scared me. His eyes bore into my soul, emitting a hungry vibe.
"Say it, beautiful wolf." he urged me stepping towards me in silence as if he sensed my silent voice.
"Vampire?" the word fell from my mouth in doubt.
Mother was nowhere to protect me just like before. I was once a rogue, vampires were real and I knew that. I also knew they were not fun of werewolves. The unending war that existed between us made us enemies and a threat to each other's existence.
He went on a knee and brushed my hair from my neck. My breath lessened and my stomach grumbled. Tears rained down.
"I hate it when they make noise." with that, I felt his breath on my bear neck, "you are mine"
"MINE!!!!!" The door barged opened and the man was shoved from me.
"Mine!"
My eyes met with the blue-eyed once again and for a moment I felt love and protected.
His presence gave me a sudden hope and a new beginning. He stretched out a hand for me.
I stared at the vampire on the floor and back to him. He wrecked of power and authority even his deep voice was enough to scare someone . His beautiful eyes were more captivating and his white hair made him look more like something dark.
"Should I carry you?" the corner of his lips curled up as if he found dumped state funny.
"Why?" he chuckle cursing my chest to heave violently.
The nine years girl mated to a half vampire and a half werewolf.
I am Leona, I count myself as an orphan and a slave to a power pack.
Let's say today is a new beginning for me.
