CLAIMED BY MY FOUR ALPHAS

ZAIRA “Stop her!” “Catch her!” I picked up my pace, running as fast as my legs could possibly carry as I heard the men order each other behind me. I had gone as far as the borders of my pack, as I usually did, and I never thought for once that I would come across a group of people who intruded the pack and wanted to catch me. In my attempt to look back and see just how far or close they were to me, I twisted my ankle and crashed straight to the ground. “No!” I grunted, refusing for my life to be over just like that. Even when the men gathered around me and pointed their weapons around me, I forced myself up and limped towards the town, where the houses and the other pack members were. “Well, look what we have here.” A man came along, grabbing me by my hair and roughly pulling me back in the direction of the pack borders as he laughed. “You know, I can tell when someone is an Omega. They have this unique scent to them.” The man turned to me when we got to the borders, a menacing smile gracing his face. “Brace yourself, little one. You’re not going to like what awaits you out there.” ~~ Being born an Omega in the world of werewolves was a curse, and I had experienced all the effects of that curse firsthand – I was one of them. I had been captured from the borders of my pack by Alpha Thyre, who was notorious for the large parties he threw with the elites like the Alphas and some Betas, along with his acts of perversion. I had heard that it was almost impossible to find Alpha Thyre without more than one woman in his arms. What I didn’t know until now was that Alpha Thyre was in charge of a large underground ring that captured and sold Omegas to the Alphas as s*x slaves, and I was about to be one of them. “Raise your right hand. Do you really expect me to tell you to do everything?” Alpha Thyre frowned at me as we stood in a room full of Alphas like himself. I raised my hand in the air just as he had said, looking down at the ground in shame and fear when he turned to the Alphas in their seats and continued his sick little show for their benefit. “This is one of the few ones that we caught from the borders of her own pack, freshly picked and almost untouched. Says her name is Zaira. Quite a beautiful name, isn’t it? I’ll start the bidding at four hundred thousand. Do we have four hundred?” I watched as a good number of the Alphas in the room raised their hands, and the true bidding started. They threw random numbers around, each of them eager to get their hands on the freshly picked lady that was me. “I’ll pay seven hundred.” “Eight hundred.” “One million.” The final bidding stopped at four million, which nobody was willing to go over. “Sold to Alpha Riley for four million!” Alpha Thyre finally announced, and all the other Alphas started to clap, making me wonder what was so impressive about watching a person get sold. Alpha Thyre pushed me forward as he questioned Alpha Riley: “How do you want me to get her ready for you? The usual way?” My face contorted in a subtle frown as I heard the question. What did he mean by “the usual way”? Were there others that Alpha Riley had bought just like me? Did all of these people spend their nights throwing millions of dollars away just so they could get the chance to assault an Omega? I looked at each one of them, committing their faces to my memory as I asked myself if any or all of these people had mates who didn’t know about their interests. “Prepare her the usual way,” Alpha Riley responded. “There’s someone who never misses his schedule,” Alpha Thyre laughed, taking me by the hand and leading me into the backroom, where he sat on a chair and stared at me for a moment. It was awkward, just standing there with him as I looked at the exit. I went over all of the Alphas who were sitting outside and how they had been sitting. If I could run out of the backroom, they would be too caught off guard to realize too soon that I was escaping, so they wouldn’t be able to catch me before I ran through the door. I looked back at Alpha Thyre, and he was still staring at me with narrowed eyes as if trying to figure out what to do with me. I settled for counting down to when I was going to burst out of the room. Before I could start my countdown, Alpha Thyre got up from the chair and shoved his hands in his pockets. “Zaira,” he called. “I don’t want to be the one to force you to do this, so you just have to listen to my instructions, okay?” I nodded, staring at him with fake mindlessness. “Take your clothes off.” “W-What?” I asked. “I don’t understand. Take my clothes…” “Do not waste my time. Alpha Riley waits. I want you to take your clothes off, wear whatever jewellery I give to you, and walk outside. Don’t be as stiff as you’ve been since I brought you here when you get to Alpha Riley – entertain you. He might just give you a tip. You want money, don’t you?” I almost shook my head in disbelief at the thought of walking out there into the room full of Alphas, completely naked, just to seduce the one who had bid the highest. “I can’t do it.” I saw Alpha Thyre freeze when he heard me. “What did you say?” “I cannot strip for the entertainment of—” I gasped as he walked towards me and slapped me hard across the cheek. “I didn’t want to force you at first, and you know this. You leave me no choice, Zaira.” “No!” I yelled as he took the collar of my shirt and ripped it with his bare hands. I held my hands up, running backwards, but there was only so far I could go before he grabbed me by the hand and hit me again. “Stop making this difficult for yourself, Zaira.” He pulled my hands away from my chest and ripped off my bra. “There; we’re making progress.” “Please don’t do this,” I begged, trying to push him off as he went for my skirt and made to take it off as well. Just then, the door to the backroom opened. A man walked in and closed the door behind him, and his eyes met with mine as he frowned. It was Kane – the son of Alpha Leo and the heir to my pack. My shock only intensified when I felt my chest constrict at the sight of him the unique way that only a mate bond would make me feel. “Kane! Well, here you are. Welcome to my charity event,” Alpha Thyre frowned. “Things might not be as they seem, but the money is definitely being used for a good cause. Go sit outside and wait for me, I’ll be right there.” Kane, never taking his eyes off of me, frowned as he stepped forward. “Why are you here?” he asked me, c*****g his head to the side as his voice held a tone of barely bridled anger. Before I could answer, I gasped and froze in shock as blood spattered all over my body in one swift motion of Kane’s hands.
