Chapter 4
1980 Words
“ She will be sold for a thousand gold coins.”
Said Alpha Kaine's beta to the buyer from Ivory Pack.
“ She's beautiful and endowed but she's not worth that much.” The buyer said, scanning Emory who stood beside Alpha Kaine's beta like a lifeless soul.
She was pale and looking dirty, but she didn't care.
Whatever was going to be done to her, she didn't give a damn.
‘Since you're playing games with my life, I'm all in for it. I will also play along.’ Emory said inwardly.
“ Don't you want to buy her? There are other buyers who are willing to pay even five thousand gold coins for her.”
Alpha Kaine's beta, Jake said.
“ Hmm.” The man cleared his throat and whispered to the other person beside him for some seconds before returning his gaze to Jake.
“ We will buy her for a thousand gold coins.” The buyer said and took a bag filled with gold coins, handling it over to Jake.
Once he confirmed that it was up to the amount, he pushed Emory towards the buyer.
“ Do whatever you want with her.” He smiled and glared at Emory before turning back, as he headed towards the pack house with other warriors behind him.
“ Come with us.” The buyer said and Emory followed them willingly.
It was as if she was a robot, as she didn't attempt to struggle even when one of the buyers was trying to molest her sexually.
“ Don't try anything funny. Madame Elara would skin you alive if you touch even a strand of her girl’s hair.” The other said.
“ But she's too beautiful to ignore.” The first said, licking his lips.
“ I have warned you.”
Finally, they got to the brothel and Emory was led into a big hall.
The dimly lit hall was filled with girls from different packs, race, age, etc.
Madame Elara, the brothel owner, walked into the hall.
Her eyes scanned across the hall filled with hundreds of girls, until her eyes fell on Emory who was sitting in one corner of the hall.
“ You!” She barked, pointing at Emory who was lost in thoughts.
“ Hey,” a girl nudged at her.
“ Madame Elara is calling you “ she whispered.
Emory said nothing, stood up and walked towards Madame Elara who glared daggers at her.
“ If not for the fact that you're beautiful and worth a lot, I would have slapped you across your face. Stop being slow witted if you want to survive in a place like this!” She warned sternly.
“ Understood girls?” she raised her voice.
“ Yes, Madame Elara!” They all chorused at once, except for Emory who remained quiet.
“ You! You! And you! Come with me.” She said picking three more girls alongside Emory.
Her eyes fell on Emory again, and she smiled.
“ You will make me a millionaire tonight. You're the most beautiful of all and this your oceanic blue eye is so addictive and alluring.” She said,
The girls followed Madame Elara to a lavish room. Stylists waited to transform them into another version of themselves which they never knew existed.
“ Make her hair loose waves,” Madame Elara instructed, talking about Emory.
“ And emphasize her eyes. Doll her up and make her worth millions of gold coins.”
“ Okay, Madame Elara.” The stylist replied with a head bow before turning to Emory who was already seated on the chair.
“ Hello, young lady,” the stylist started.
“ You stink, go take a bath before the make-up session begins.”
She said and led Emory to that public bathroom, where she took her bath and returned to the make-up room.
“ What's your name?” The stylist asked.
“ Emory,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
“ You're really beautiful, Emory, you'll fetch a high price for Madame Elara.”
The stylist smiled and began to transform Emory into another version of herself.
In less than an hour, the makeup was done and Emory was dressed in a beautiful evening gown.
The dress was probably the most beautiful clothes she has ever worn in her entire life.
……….
“ Alpha Damon, it's time for the auction.” Kelvin said as he walked into the throne room.
“ Oh, interesting. Prepare the car and tell Madame Elara I would be there to buy one of her girls.” Alpha Damon said and stood up from his throne.
“ Okay, Alpha.”
As they both left the throne room and headed towards the hallway, they came across a beautiful lady who bowed.
“ Dam…” she wasn't able to complete her words when Alpha Damon cut her off.
“ Alpha Damon.” He corrected, his eyes turning dark. “ I won't tolerate you calling my name just because we are betrothed.”
“ I'm sorry, Alpha.” She corrected me.
“ Now, get out of my way.” He said meanly.
He walked past her with Kelvin behind him, but the lady called his name, causing him to turn.
“ What do you want, Delilah?” He growled in a low voice.
“ I want you, Alpha Damon. We've been betrothed for three years, but you've never touched me ever since the death of your mate….”
Delilah couldn't finish her words when Alpha Damon sped towards her and held her neck, pushing her to the nearest wall.
“ Don't you dare call her name in that mouth of yours.” He growled, his eyes turning red with anger as he increased more pressure on her neck.
“ Please….let…me go.” Delilah begged with tears in her already red eyes.
She was already seeing the gate of Hades before her eyes due to the chokehold on her neck.
“ Avoid me or I might end your life next time.”
Alpha Damon let go of her neck roughly, causing her to fall heavily on her butt.
“ Let's go.” He muttered and walked away with Kelvin.
……..
Standing on the auction stage, Emory's heart raced with uncertainty.
She and four other girls who were chosen stood on the stage, surrounded by bright lights and the murmurs of the crowd and bidders.
Madame Elara, the brothel owner, smiled as she walked up to the stage and began the auction.
“ Welcome, esteemed bidders, to tonight's selection of exquisite females. As you all can see, we have the most beautiful girls here for sale.”
Emory's eyes scanned the crowd, searching for an escape routine.
She had thought about it throughout her stay in that dimly lit hall.
Even if the moon goddess was playing with her fate, there would always be a way out. That was what she had thought.
Thinking of ways to escape, but it was impossible as the doors were heavily guarded and the windows were barred.
She was trapped.
“ Here is the first girl.” Madame Elara said, pointing at Emory whose head was down due to the numerous eyes on her.
She felt uncomfortable at the gazes of several bidders, ogling at her body.
“ Don't start with her, start with the less beautiful one!” The bidders all chorused, causing Madame Elara to chuckle.
“ Okay, I will start with the less beautiful one.” She said and the auction started fully.
Emory watched as other girls were sold, causing her heart to thump faster.
Soon, she was the only one left on stage as the other girls had gone to their respective buyers.
Madame Elara did well to showcase Emory's beauty, since she was depending on her to become a millionaire.
“ We will start the bidding for 2000 gold coins.” Madame Elara announced.
A gamma raised his hand. “ 2500 gold coins.”
“ 3000 gold coins.” Another Alpha bid.
The bidding continued until only two men remained.
“ 5000 gold coins.” Another Alpha said, causing murmurs to fill the auction hall.
“ Yes, we have 5000 gold coins, anyone with a higher bid?” Madame Elara asked.
“ 20,000 gold coins.” Came a deep cold voice from inside the auction hall, causing numerous eyes to turn around.
“ Welcome, Alpha Damon.” Madame Elara bowed with a smile.
“ The lady here has been sold for 20,000 gold coins.” She announced.
Emory's eyes met with that of her buyer, causing adrenaline to rush into her body.
His dark blue eyes could draw any soul into it and she couldn't afford to look into those intimidating eyes of his.
Her hands began to sweat and she tried so hard to remain calm while still standing at the auction stage.
“ What are you waiting for?” Madame Elara asked, her brows furrowed, causing Emory to be more confused.
“ Go meet your new master.” She said and pushed Emory a little.
As she walked down the auction stage towards Alpha Damon, her legs began to shiver and with every step she took, her heart thumped even more faster.
Upon getting towards him, he scanned her from head to toe and a mischievous smirk appeared on his lips.
He stood up and leaned closer towards Emory.
“ Welcome, new prey.”
He whispered, causing a slight frown to appear on Emory's face, as she didn't understand what he meant by the words he whispered into her ears.
“ Let's go.” He said and walked out of the auction hall with Emory behind him and Kelvin.
They arrived at the pack’s house and Kelvin showed Emory to her quarters where she met other girls.
“ Hi, I'm Clara, what's your name?” A beautiful girl asked as soon as Emory walked into the quarters.
“ My name is Emory.” She replied and walked towards the available bed.
“ Are you a new maid?” Clara asked as all eyes focused on Emory, making her uncomfortable.
“ No, I'm Alpha Damon’s new prey. Please what does that mean?” Emory asked naively.
Everywhere fell silent as none of the girls said nothing, causing Emory to be more confused.
“ Can you please tell me?” She begged desperately as her curiosity was getting the best part of her.
“ We are not in the position to tell you. Find out about it yourself.”
Despite the girls reply, Emory couldn't get the words out of her head.
Her curiosity was getting the best part of her and yet, she couldn't even feed on it.
Laying on her small bed inside the girls quarter, she began to think about her life.
From the beginning until now.
She was framed for something she didn't do by her ex-mate and her stepsister, and also sold to a ruthless Alpha all because of money.
They didn't even care if she was being sold as a prostitute or as a master's s*x slave.
“ I will get my revenge, that's a promise.” Emory muttered, tears sleeping from the corners of her eyes.
She was still dwelling in her thoughts while the other girls were doing their stuff, all of a sudden, the door pushed open and a giant man dressed in armor walked in.
“ Alpha's prey!” He called and all eyes fell on Emory who was still lost in thought.
One of the girls tapped her, bringing her to reality.
“ Yes?” She stood up from the bed.
“ Follow me, the Alpha wants your presence.”
“ Okay,” Emory nodded, her head hung low while the girls gave her a pity look, adding to her confusion.
“ What the hell is happening here? Am I about to die?”
