Chapter 2 Sold out

"I should sell you to someone who would keep you in check. Maybe, just maybe you might be better." he spat again and all I could do was whimper in pain. Nothing he said mattered at the time because my body was already too weak from the pain I felt all over.

While the whole drama was going on, my stomach growled. 'Not again' I muttered under my breath. My master has denied me food for about three days and I barely survived on just water till this present second.

"What was that?" he asked, hearing the sound of my stomach non-stop growling.

"Nothing Sire." I responded hastily before he had the chance to whip me again. At this point, I doubted if I could take any more whipping.

He raised his hands up like he was going to whip me and I whimpered in fright and stayed as still as I could, trying so hard not to provoke my master.

The minute I thought he wasn't going to whip me, I felt a very loud thud on my back and I moaned in agony. I lacked the strength to sob and the only thing I was left with were mere prayers to the moon goddess.

"This is very exciting, do you like it?" he asked me, smiling so wide.

I shook my head from feeling so much anguish, he went on dragging me and whipping me. He did as he liked and I just remained there hoping for a rescue. He had me dragged around with my back filled with so much cut as I bled from the injuries I obtained.

I noticed my master suddenly came to a halt which led me to look up slowly. My eyes met with that of the alpha supreme. I suddenly felt an electrifying connection between myself and the alpha supreme and I wondered if he felt it too.

Our eyes stayed locked in and I would have bet with my life that he felt what I felt, yet he just stood there staring at me.

"Look away you animal." my master's voice cursed and i turned to the side immediately to avoid another whip. It was enough that I felt really embarrassed being before the alpha supreme in this manner. The best I could do was avoid being whipped again.

I heard a growl from the alpha supreme which made it obvious that he hated the way I was being treated by my master. He walked towards us and circled around us, making my master tremble in so much fear.

I had no idea what that was about but it was evident that my master was scared to his bones. "I already enforced a law that prohibited slavery and torture, why do you have her treated like this?" the alpha Supreme's voice echoed in the air.

"I... I'm... we..." my master stuttered so much that he could barely say a word.

"I'll ask again, why are you brutalizing this wolf?" he asked again with a coaxed voice.

"She stole from me." he blurted out and my eyes instantly widened from the blatant lie he just told.

"That is a lie." I heard a voice echo from the other side.

"Yes, he is lying." another voice echoed.

"Punish him." a third voice echoed which prompted me to look up.

I could see they were the wolves that fed me wherever my master starved me. They must have been tired of how badly he treated me.

"Take him to the dungeon." the alpha supreme commanded his shoulders instantly.

I heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that, happy that the moon goddess finally heard my cry.

I wanted to thank the alpha supreme but I could barely say a word. I had no idea if it was the excitement I felt from being free of if I was just too weak and hungry to say anything.

He looked at me and all I could do was plead for mercy with my eyes while I laid on the floor helplessly.

"Help her up and take her to the palace. The royal physician should begin her treatment immediately." he instructed the guard that was left with him.

"The royal physician?" the guard asked for confirmation.

"You heard me right, Lukas, yes. The royal physician." the alpha supreme resounded.

The guard wasted no time in carrying me up on his shoulders like I was some feather.

We soon arrived at the palace and I was taken to the chambers of the alpha supreme. My body was matted with blood and my injuries were deep.

The royal physician wasted no time in telling his female apprentice to thoroughly clean me up before he started treating me.

After a few minutes, she was done with the clean up and she called him to come treat me. He did so cautiously but he had a bitter expression on his face as he did so. I could not read his thoughts but it was obvious that he wasn't happy with what he saw.

After treating me, he walked towards the direction where lukas stood. "Her injuries are severe and the chances of her survival are slim. Who asked you to bring her here?" I heard the physician speak to Lukas.

"My Lord asked her to be brought here, do I tell him these exact words?" Lukas asked him.

"Yes, he needs to come see her just in case she doesn't make it" the physician said to Lukas and he wasted no time in leaving to deliver the message.

In less than ten minutes, the alpha supreme arrived and I could tell that he wasn't happy with what he was told due to the facial expression he had on.

"What is this I hear?" he asked the physician and the physician repeated the exact same words he said to lukas.

"I do not care how you do it but she must not die." the alpha supreme instructed him.

"I'm sorry, Alberto, but this is beyond me. Her wounds are months old and filled with infections. She is malnourished and lacking what she needs for recovery. Only the mercies of the moon goddess can heal her right now." the physician explained.

The alpha supreme walked to me and I could hear the pounding of my chest from so much anxiety.

"I do not care how, but you must not die." he whispered in my ear and it sounded like a warning. Fear gripped me and I wondered if my situation only became worse.
