Rosie's POV
My body was in tremendous pain, I could feel it. . . Oh and the smell. . . I didn't need to open my eyes to know the condition I was currently in was worse. It can not be anything good if I feel like this
The next thing I noticed was the numerous voices speaking at once as if I was in a marketplace. I tried to slowly open my eyes, but I winced back in pain, the scorching brightness of the light was penetrating my eyes. I was not sure where it came from. Was it a bulb or was it the sun? Whatever it was, I opened my eyes with caution.
Rosie! Rosie, wake up! We should not be here. I heard my wolf, Lily speak, as she was trying to stir me up at the same time, but I felt weak, I felt too lazy to answer.
Rosie, we have to get out of here, this cannot be good. I hear crazy things! I think we are in danger! Except for the urgency in the way that Lily was stirring me up, the last word ‘danger’ did it. I opened my eyes.
My mind was immediately consumed by a lot of things, and a lot of questions, trying to understand where I was.
Of course, I can see that I am currently in a cage, but I can also see that there were a lot of stinky smells coming from different sets of people, but why the heck was I there?
Just then, the memories of what happened with Sylvia started flooding into me. '"Oh God! My back" I murmured, the pain was killing me, but when I remembered that I had almost died, this pain in my back was not even anything.
I knew I was supposed to beg for my life when I realized Sylvia was going to throw me into that lake, while those other leeches watched. I have never learned how to swim. No one had been willing to teach me, and I didn't even bother to learn, because whenever the opportunity came, the rest of the kids were always at the lake doing one or two things.
I don't think that is what you should be worried about now. That is all in the past, as far as I am concerned. You need to find a way out of this godforsaken place and now is the best time to think of ways you can get out. We should not be here. If we stay any more minutes, we would never come out. My wolf began. I can already feel the panic in her voice because I was panicking too.
Of course, Sylvia did this. I am not sure how just yet, but I think it is only a matter of time before I will find out.
Look, Rosie, someone is coming! She said, retreating back inside.
I looked up confidently for the first time that night at the rounded man I had seen earlier. I was not sure what day it was but I knew I would have been here for long to be able to change positions and locations.
I was no longer in the large room Sylvia and her friends had brought me.
The man came to me, bent down to my grounded level, and smiled at me across the closed cage. I recognize the smile to be inflamed and definitely nerve-racking, he must be thinking about things to do with me.
“Get her cleaned, and prepared for the auction,” He commanded to no one in particular as he stood up himself, but a set of men wearing a color black or navy blue shirts and trousers came barging forward like their lives depended on how they carried out the order, they opened the cage, and pulled me out. I had not noticed them before they were summoned.
“Where are you taking me? Asshole! Leave me alone! Leave me alone” I struggled between them as they carried me and it hurt! But I could not stay still, I wanted my freedom. The anxiety of what my life holds after this night scares the s**t out of me.
Now, my dress was torn and dirty, but I would have preferred to be left alone than be manhandled by these crazy idiots! And do to me God knows what!
“You will soon find out pumpkin! Today might be my lucky day!” The rounded man spoke, followed by loud laughter!
I know! My nerves would not allow my mind to settle down and think all will be well. I know there won't be anything the same after today, I know that my life is just about to get even crazier and bitter!
The guards dragged me inside a basic bathroom and set me inside a bathtub, and tore my remaining clothes, exposing my nakedness. My hands immediately replaced the clothes on my breasts while I locked my legs together to cover the remaining private area. I felt humiliated!
“I will clean myself up,” I said through clenched teeth, I was embarrassed and it felt like the whole world should finally come to an end around me and everyone in the world should die with me!
“Shut up slu.t! Shut up and keep silent!” one of the guards commanded. He was definitely not having the best day, but so am I.
“You shut up! I want to clean myself up! Or get me a woman who can! I am not letting you touch my body” I declared tightly, while I glared my eyes at him.
“Don’t waste our time woman! No one would come here to listen to your little pleas. Do you know how many more beautifully adorned women we have cleaned and dressed up in this same manner and place that you are? I don't think you have an idea. They get sold off eventually and believe me when I tell you that it's not all of them are alive today!” The other one bragged,
And that scared me more than anything, dying alone and as a slave. My life at my pack was much better. If I was given another chance right now, I would choose to be bullied all over again by Dan and the rest of the kids than be here right now.
These men are going to see my naked body and they are probably going to touch me in different parts of it, and I obviously would not have a say in it, because I am now their slave until they find me a buyer, a master. . . Tonight! And who knows what fat duck is taking me home today, I could not more disgusted!

I watched the girl before me, get sold, and the one before her, I knew in no time I was going to end up like the two of them and so will the ones after me, my fate was going to be sealed into the hands of one of the old looking men!
I looked around into the dark-pitched room, with only the disco light coming up in seconds and minutes, I caught some of their perverted eyes and none seemed to have a little bit of kindness in them, and I knew I was doomed, that was when I began to cry, I was no longer strong.
Now It was my turn. . . One of the guards who had worn bathed me earlier came to fetch me from the cage.
He attempted to drag me out of the cage but I resisted, “I can walk” I snapped at him.
He looked at me for the longest minute as if he was deliberating on what to do with me before he let me have my way. And that must have been a show for the old geezers because they started to really focus on me!
Fearfully, I walked to the stage with my chained hands and chained feet, the guard made sure of it. I was trembling, my lashes were soaked in my tears already as I continue to ponder about who is going to buy me tonight.
I took a foot back unconsciously as I stared back at the hungry men from the crowd, I wish I could find a safe place to curl back to, a place where I am forever assured safety and love.
I hate them, I hate Sylvia, I hate Dan! I hate my father! I hate everything and anyone that has never once stood up for me.
“I think we should call this one ‘the dove’ “ I heard the announcer speak beside me, towards the crowd and a murmur of acknowledgment followed.
“Aye” A man bold enough delivered a sounding yell and then the rest followed the cue before the shout died down again.
“The starting bid is five hundred dollars, do I hear five fifty?” So the bit to get me an owner started, and I thought it would end just as quickly as it has started but we were still on it thirty minutes after, and none of the men wanted to back out for each other.
“Did I hear one hundred and fifty thousand dollars?” the announcer asked, feeling happy with himself. The amount must be piling up, even more than he had planned.
“Five hundred thousand dollars!” A deep thick voice from the back sounded and everyone turned to him, obviously as shocked as I was that someone stupid enough would want to spend that kind of money on me! But it scared me at the same time because if he was going to spend half a million dollars to buy a slave, does that not mean he was going to do whatever he wants with me and I have absolutely no say in it?
“Going once. . . Going twice. . . “ He rang the auction bell with so much vigor “Sold to the alpha king!” He declared with a beam spattered all over his face.
“Alpha king?!” I murmured and immediately looked up at the crowd hoping I would see him. But the more I tried, the more darkness enveloped my eyes I started feeling dizzy all of a sudden.
I was not sure what knocked me out; if it was the lack of food or just exhaustion but my legs became numb and I fell to the floor as my eyes slowly closed to the reality around me, But not before I blanked out completely, I caught a glimpse of who my master is; this alpha king, he was not old at all, and he was not fat, He was rather a young, and elegantly dressed in black, but I couldn't tell if he was tall because he was sitting comfortably with his eyes dark and narrowed at me, they were probably made of ice because they pierced right through me.
He looked really dangerous! what exactly did this person want with me? Please don't tell me that I am to become his s*x slave.
