Chapter 1 SOLD

CHAPTER 1: SOLD.

"GO GET DRESSED, YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE SOLD!" The words stung my ears. I could feel my heart lurching with fear, striking wagers into the depth of my heart. I was petrified as I gazed over at the figure in front of me, my foster father, Mr. Hutchinson.

I knew all too well that he had developed a high amount of hate towards me. His high-profile figure stood firmly in front of me, sending shivers down my spine, and fear taking reign. I whimpered in fear, lashes crashing down in submission.

His devilish grin rigging his expression, his eyes displaying a wrath of hatred. His cackle resonated through my ears, the words echoing against the inner walls of my ears. My nerves stretched taut as my face transformed into a mask of sweat.

As I tried to reason why I was being sold, Mr. Hutchinson drew his hand back and delivered a hot slap across my cheeks. The warmth of his flesh radiated through my bones, my nerves jangled as I winced out.

Dragging me up by my thin arms, he caught my chin and pressed it tightly. My wolf whimpered in loss as I pushed with all my might, but he was too strong.

I cried out in pain and confusion, tears streaming down my face as my father laughed cynically. "Ever since I had adopted you, you had been nothing but a mischievous Brut, not yet mated, still stagnant and disgusting," he said chidingly.

I was astounded and confused by the news that I was to be sold to Alpha Garrett, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. The Alpha was feared by all for his cruel nature. My father knew how much I craved adventure and used it against me.

His long, thick fingers gripped my arms as he slammed the door open, my feet gliding roughly on the floor. Shivers crept into my bloodstream as I stepped inside, my head swiftly falling in submission before Alpha Garrett.

I had always seen a lady in my dreams, telling me that I was powerful. I had always felt my powers, but I was too meek to voice them out. I knew Alpha Garrett would never love me, nor any man. I was alone with my thoughts and feelings, my power hidden away.

Alpha Garrett's stature was commanding and harsh, taking my breath away, fear enveloping my senses. I bowed down to him, feeling his aura engulf me.

As I left the room, I felt chained up, like a prisoner in my own thoughts. My power lurking beneath, waiting to be unleashed.

"Your majesty!" I heard my father's cold voice as it resounded in the little living room. Then I heard the clip-clap of leather against the floor as my gaze seeped through lustrous lashes to gaze at his footwear. It seemed to have been made of expensive leather- one that had a shiny surface. I watched as his shoes glided in my direction, I felt cold locking my senses as it multiplied in ten folds. My nose, a barrel of smells, differentiated from the smell of alcohol, as a fragrance hit me and seeped into my nose whistling mockingly.

The smell, I'd deduced, seemed to be of a richly intoxicating fragrance. His smell was to be explained with two words, woody and dangerously seductive. I felt that linger in my heart as this voracious beast walked up to me. My heart gripped with fear as I watched his shoe halt in his scary stride.

I felt cold fingers landing on my chin as the fingers raised my chin, I had no other choice than to follow the commands. My neck shook as it raised slowly, my head now straightened as I looked straight in his direction. I observed Alpha Garrett with a close gaze, from a close range one could have thought the effect of his face hadn't diminished a single whit. If anything, the impact of the strong, angular planes, decidedly patrician nose, his lips, long, thin and provocatively mobile were now even more pronounced.

His hair was indeed golden brown, thick and wavy enough to form large locks; the rest of him I now had decided it was wise rather not to notice. I caught his gaze, hot and piercing indeed, I turned it right before he could speak.

"Turn around." I heard his thick voice as turned slowly for him to see my body. I could see clearly that he was shocked at my curvaceous body.

"I will take her." He declared with an authoritative tone, striking vipers into the atmosphere. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes, he had that cold look, his eyes were devoid of emotions, I could hear vividly the chuckling which came from my father. My father began with a hushed tone, "You've never made me so proud."

Now I felt sadness welling in me, I felt like crying, but the tears just didn't flow out of my eyes. My dad is a jerk, and will always be, he thinks he can sell me out to Alpha Garrett just because I was not useful to him. He hated my cravings for adventure, but he didn't know that I had developed a magical power, one I still couldn't tame.

It had started with a twitch in my muscles, and before I knew it, crystal red balls loomed above my hands. I am going to defend myself with this power- this power I still haven't tamed.

I turned to my father with rage swamping with the long awoken anger in my heart, a shiver caught at the base of my neck. Likewise, I fiddled with my head and inhaled the cold air which coursed into my nostrils. I exercised my muscles as I tried to wake up my powers.

I felt a shallow cut from within me, my head ached severely as a dark burn took reign in my eyes, I felt a stronger power relinquishing its hold on me. Darkness howled as I felt black surfaces looming out of my palms as it formed a huge crystal ball atop my palms.

The look of fear which was on my father's face wasn't to be overlooked, he yelled out as several men, who were securities to Alpha Garrett, stood up and charged in my direction. I was about to throw one of the balls in the direction of my father when a massive metal hit me from behind, I could sense that whoever had hit me had the aim of making me to fall. I turned back as my bones made a sound, pain seeped into it as I faced whoever had done that.

It was one of the security men of Alpha Garrett. I turned at him with anger as an unknown force arose from within me, I felt my legs leaping into the air as flames came out from nowhere, whirling around me. I looked at Alpha Garrett, he looked shocked and was feared as he leapt back. I looked down in the room, my father was now standing beside the security men, I aimed at them as I threw one of the mighty crystal balls at them as I heard a blast, my eyes jammed close as I turned and threw the other ball in the direction of the wooden wall as it broke. I could hear as they choked on shaky breaths, their voices almost reaching a crescendo.

Then.

Everything calmed as I felt the force seeping away from me, everything now calmed down as the hate I had towards them now calmed. Before I knew it, I crashed into the ground and hit my hands on the rough ground as I felt a tear and blood poured out from the cut.

"Get her!" Alpha Garrett roared.

I stood and ran off- off to wherever my legs would lead me to.
