Before i could ask more question and figure out what was going on, he reached out and grabbed me by the hair before I was yanked up on my feet , the  sound of chains clanking snapping me from my momentarily pain and confusion as i looked down and realized i was currently bounded by chain.

He continued to pull me along and outside the room where several other girls my age was held by chains as well, each on the left ankle and connected by a long thick chain which made them move in a straight line. 

They all wore stain clothing and they looked as though they hasn’t had a bath in days nor combed through their hair. 

There were three other men, all armed with weapons and standing guard around them. Some holding whips in each hand. From the look on their faces, I could tell they were not from our packs and even more that I wasn’t in my home anymore.

Last thing I remember was passing out cold in our living room and now I’m out here with no single memory of how I got here.

"Come on... let's move out. We'll arrive in red moon pack before sun set." One of the men yelled at the others.

What? Red moon pack? No, it’s can’t be!

My eyes widened, my lips began to tremble as I was being pulled to join the others since they were preparing to move.

"This has to be some sort of mistake" I whispered more to myself than anyone else, "Father couldn’t have done this to me. He really couldn’t have" 

"That's what they all say the first time. Don’t worry, we paid a huge sum to your Alpha." One of the men had said and the rest of them burst out laughing.

My eyes burned with fresh tears as realization hit me hard.  Father must have gotten a chance to sell me off while i was passed out and still unconscious. Not that i would have had much of a choice awake but still, it didn’t make me feel any less violated than ever before. 

At this point, his words start to hit me as I recall it all. Father wasn’t joking around when he said he needed me to steal the gem of vitality for him and the only way he knew how was to force me into an enemy territory without care for my wellbeing, only thinking of what he stands to gain.

We walked on for several hours without stopping to rest or even have a taste of water. Even when some of the girls began to faint on the way, it didn’t affect or do anything to the men leading us as they simply ignored us as though we were not even there.

I could feel my bone cracking from sheer exhaustion, so much so that i didn’t realize when my knees gave out and i dropped to the ground beneath me.

The girls gasped, seeing how daring I had been for stopping the chain of movement without permission. 

The man who had grabbed me earlier walked over and stood over me with his whip in hand.

"Get up. Now." 

I did try to, but the sole of my feet was sore and painful to get back on, and I was barely holding myself together without shivering. I haven’t had food or water  in days, not to mentioned how long we have walked.

“Please, I can’t do this anymore. Just let me rest for a b..”

Whip! 

I was caught midsentence, a pain cry erupting my mouth on feeling the whip hard against my neck and peeling a flesh around there.

The girls winced at the open flesh at the side of my neck while other simply covered their faces at the sight of blood that dripped down from the wound, soiling my cream colored T-shirt.

Whip! 

"Get the fuck up right now." He repeated, this time, getting ready to whip me across my exposed thighs. I inhaled a shaky breath and with trembling legs, forced myself back up, barely leaning against the nearest girl.

I exhaled slowly when she didn’t push me away but instead, let me lean against her and soon enough the chain of movement silently continued as though nothing had happened.

Though i felt tired and sickened to my stomach, i still held on and after what felt like forever, we could see red moon pack up ahead bringing a momentarily relief to my chest.

In a few minutes more, we were being led through the gates and towards what seems like the  servant quarters only that it looked bigger and more beautiful than the ones we have back at our pack.

We were almost at the door before we were stopped by a group of men led by another who seem like their leader, bringing us to a halt.

I arched a curious brows to stare at the one who seem to have everyone under his spell only to found myself staring into an alluring sea of green and I was left without a doubt that he was none other than the famous Alpha Alex, who has a reputation for buying slaves for his crazy soon-to-be Luna, Lizzy.

The more I stared at him, the more I realized he was more handsome in person than the stories I have read about him. His sturdy and hard stature. His short brown hair was style with some strains spike to fall across his left brow in a messy way.

My eyes continued to trail him further, tracing his muscular biceps hidden under a grey button down shirt and then up to his hard jawline before settling on those lips that looked so edi_I couldn’t finish up the sentence. Not while i was hit with that mysterious sweet scent.

I inhaled a deep breath, sniffing the air around me in search of that delicious smell and my wolf was screaming something which i was yet to understand because i was now staring at Alpha Alex, his eyes holding me hostage.

"How disrespectful." The man who had whipped me said as he grabbed me by the hair and forced me to look down when he noticed i was staring at the Alpha in the eyes. 

However, the Alpha next words shook everyone to the core, including me when he stepped in between us.

"Don't fucking touch my mate!"
