Chapter 3 Sold to the Lunaris

Kyria

I was left wondering, what deal are they talking about? as they go on and on about my cute little face, which has just saved me this evening, or do they have another place for me to work? Lost in my thoughts, I heard Aunt Binna call, "Sia

Sia," she responded and came in.

"Take her in so she can prepare for our visitors tomorrow." "Alright, Mum."

Sia put her arm around my waist to help me shift my weight and find balance as I slowly stood up and managed to get myself to my room. As Sia helped me, upon reaching there, she pushed me to the floor, cleaning herself as if I had poop on my body.

"Oh, poor thing. Tsk-tsk-tsk." She clicked her tongue and looked at me. So you're becoming a wife soon, huh? She laughed and left the room.

It can't be that my dad wants to sell me out.

I wanted to stand up and meet my dad, to plead with him not to give me up, to tell him that I'll do better in my work and bring more money, but my strength failed me; I could not stand up. I can't believe my own father wants to sell me out for money. I understand that my dad loathes me so much, but the fact that he wants to sell me, his own daughter, out, I just can't get my head around it.

I was lost in thought the whole night; I could not get any sleep. My alarm rang; it was 5:30 already. I was feeling much better even though I'm weak; I'm still a wolf anyway.

Waking out of my room to meet my dad, I heard Sia and her mom talking.

"Mum, are you sure this is going to work out? I'm so fucking tired of seeing her around; anyway, I don't know why, but I just detest her."

"Don't worry, honey; you know your dad always listens to what I say." Of course it's true my dad listens to everything Aunt Binna says.

"But the Lunaris are ruthless; what would they use her for? Sia asked,

"Who cares what they'll do with her? We just need the money."

Tears could not come out anymore. I know Aunt Binna has spoken; there's no going back. Even though I pleaded with my dad, they were giving me to the Lunari. That means they never wanted to see me anymore; they don't care if I die or not. I thought to myself, I'll go with them, do whatever is expected of me, and then maybe one day I can be free and come back for my mum's pack.

As I was turning back to my room, I heard Sai ask,

"How about her mum's pack? Won't they disagree with it?"

I stood to listen; at least my mum's pack can save me. Why didn't I think of this before? Even if I'm weak, trading me to the Lunari is not proper.

"No one cares what we do to her," Aunt Binna said, "Ha ha ha, oh joy," she laughed boisterously.

"The Alpha requested we sell her to him personally, so no one dares oppose."

"The Alpha did?" Sia asked.

" Your father said Alpha Derek saw Kyria while attending a meeting where Kyria works, so he said he loves her curly, full, long hair, so he requested for her to be sold to him."

"What's so special about her white hair?" Sia retorted.

What!! At this point I had to cry; no one cared, I asked myself as tears rolled down my cheeks. I walked back to my room and sat on my bed. It was not quite long before I heard footsteps approaching; I checked the time-it was 6AM already. Pushed the door open; it was Aunt Binna.

"Kyria"! She called, "Ohh, you're awake.

Our visitors are arriving in an hour from now, so prepare for their arrival and make sure you clean yourself very well.

"Yes, Ma," I replied, and she left the room.

I sluggishly stood up and walked to the bathroom. As I sank into the warm bath, my body melting into the water, my eyes drifted shut, and my mind began to wander.

My mind drifts to memories long forgotten: childhood laughter and the good times I spent with my mum. I remember my dad calling me his little princess, but now he wants me to disappear.

My stepmother says it's my fault Mom died, and I think that's why Dad hates me now.

Time loses meaning. Minutes blend into hours; I'm lost in the haze of relaxation.

I'm trapped in this serene world, where nothing matters but warmth and silence.

I heard the bathroom door open and a voice calling, "Kyria! Kyria!" and I was startled.

"You've been in here for an hour now; Dad needs you downstairs.

"Ohh, I'm coming."

She slammed the door and left. I quickly ran out of the bathroom in the only dress my mum made for me before she died, a white, silk, knee-length fitted dress that was the only nice dress I had. I thought I was going to wear it when I found my mate, but here I am, wearing it to be sold.

I took my satchel; there was nothing to carry apart from the dress I'm wearing. It's just my work uniform and my school uniform. I don't need my school uniform anymore. I took just the work uniform with me. As I was about to go downstairs, Sia came in again.

Her lips curled into a wicked grin. "You should be happy that we don't have to meet in school anymore."

I just stared at her, trying to make my way.

"Weak thing, no one even cares if you die or not; you should blame your mum for giving birth to you; she shouldn't have died, at least."

I shifted closer to where she was, and for the first time I talked back at her instead of just apologising.

"Who knows? Maybe your mother killed my mom to be my father's Luna; you should ask your mother; she might be a murderer."

I don't know what I'm saying, but I had to say something.

That made her angry, and she slapped me directly on the face.

"You're leaving the house now; you have the guts to talk, right? She screamed in outrage, "How dare you call my mum a murderer?"

I guess they heard her voice downstairs," her mum called.

"Sia, what are you still doing up there? Is Kyria not ready?"

"I guess the guests are waiting for me; I have to go now." I made my way out.

Moving downstairs, I saw a tall, imposing figure with broad shoulders and piercing eyes, with two other people with him. My dad and Aunt Binna are sitting across from them.

As I stood in front of them, he stood up and asked one of the guys to walk me to the car.

"You can stay for a meal, Beta, Thane," Aunt Binna said.

"No, thank you."

"How about the money?" My father asked, "It'll be delivered to you if the Alpha is satisfied with her." But... My dad wanted to say something: Beta Thane turned slowly and looked at him and asked, You've got a problem with that? And he quickly said, "No", shaking his head and waving his hand, "Not at all; we have a long journey ahead." Beta Thane said,

"My regards to the Alpha," Aunt Binna said, but no one cared to respond to her, not even with a nod.

It was quite a long journey; throughout the journey, no one altered a word. I was really hoping someone would say something just so I would know what my role would be there and what they would use me for.

I sat down quietly, holding my satchel to my chest with my two arms with a very tight grip; these men with me were scary people. Are they going to kill me on the way? Are they having a ritual in the Lunari pack? I had a lot of thoughts. The Lunari people are scary people. I just heard a little from my uncle that the day they entered our pack in their wolf form, many died.

I finally gave in to sleep, and I heard someone's voice: "Come out."
