Sold To The Cruel Alpha King

(Acacia)

My name is Acacia Ferguson, and this is my story. I have been working two jobs just to make sure that my stepfather, Harold, was alright. It was just us for now, since my mother had rejected him and left. He changed a lot and became more abusive towards me. He's always drunk and broke. I have to be the one to work and make sure that the bills are taken care of, as well as putting food on the table.

As soon as I got home, Harold would find something to argue with me about. Every so often, I don't even want to be there, but I have to make sure he's alright. Even though he's not my real father, I still treat him as such. I called him Dad most times because he's the closest person to a father to me. I never knew my real father. No matter how many times I've asked my mother to tell me about him, she wouldn't. It got to a point where I just stopped asking about him, knowing that I won't get an answer.

Waving goodbye to my coworker, I left in a hurry so that I could get home and start cooking. I didn't mind, though, because it was in my genes to do these things.

You see, I'm an omega and also mateless. Harold has taken me away from our pack that's called the silver moon pack, ever since the day my mother rejected him. Which was three years ago.

My Alpha said that I was welcome back anytime, so he made sure that I wasn't deemed a rogue. I told my Alpha that I didn't want to leave, but I had to since I had no other choice. I was young at that time, only fifteen years old, so I still needed a parent figure in my life. Harold didn't care about me or my feelings, that much I can guarantee.

After I arrived home in my beat-up car, which was a beetle that shouldn't be allowed on the road, I called out to Harold. He didn't reply, so I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to deal with him and his ways for now, since he wasn't home.

As tired as I was, I made my way toward the kitchen so that I could get started on his favorite meal. Harold always requested this meal since it reminded him of Mom.

As I got started on dinner, I heard the door open and left to see who it was. I cringed when I noticed that it was Harold and hurriedly made my way back to the kitchen. It took half an hour, but dinner was done, and I started to set the table, just in time for him to sit down. When I made sure his meal was in front of him, I was about to leave, but he stopped me.

"Where are you going, girly? Go and get some food for yourself and come sit down." This was the first time he made such an offer, so I did as he asked without any protest. While we were eating, he started talking to me as if it were the old times, the time when Mom was around and we were happy.

"How was work today? You have to leave for your other job tonight, right?" He asked, and I nodded my head.

"Yes, Dad, I have to be there at eight." He hummed a little, then went back to eating. When we were done, and I started to clear the table, he stopped me by grabbing onto my wrist and holding on tight. The dish that I had in my hand fell and shattered on the floor because of how hard I was trembling.

'Do not be afraid, everything will be alright.' My wolf Mesha said, so I started to calm down a bit.

"Some people are coming here tomorrow to meet you. Make sure you ask for the day off for both of your jobs so that I can do a proper introduction." I nodded my head and decided not to answer him. He may not have a title, but I was still an omega, and he was higher in power than I was.

"Good, now finish cleaning up and go to bed when you're done. I want you to be well rested for tomorrow." He released my arm, and I continued to do what I was doing without looking at him. He was usually drunk at this time, no matter if it was during the day. But this time, he appeared to be sober. I wonder if it had something to do with the people who were coming over tomorrow.

When I was finally done with everything, I made my way towards my room and fell on the bed instantly. I was too tired to do anything, I wanted to take a shower and change, but for now, I'll relax until I have to leave in a couple of hours.

I jumped up from the sound of my alarm and frantically started to get ready for my other job before I was late. I took a shower which was quicker than usual, hey don't judge me. Once you're in my shoes, you'll realize that a two-minute shower is nothing.

Grabbing my jeans and long sleeve blouse, I got dressed in record time. I didn't have an opportunity to do my hair, which was always difficult to tame, so I tied it up in a loose bun and called it a night.

Making sure that I had everything, I hurriedly made my way outside and got in my car, and drove off. Being a waitress for one of the most popular restaurants here in Manitoba, Canada, wasn't easy. I had to be on time and make sure that everything was alright, even though it was stressful and demanding, I enjoyed it a lot because of the tips that I've been getting. Perks of being an omega. There are higher-ranked wolves who are always after me. I tried my best to steer clear of them, but they always leave me good tips, so I'm fine with that.

I finally arrived in record time and parked in the parking lot for employees only and got out. I started running towards the back entrance where we were supposed to enter through first and giggled to myself as I nearly tripped. Opening the door in a hurry, I fell this time, and embarrassingly enough, every one of my coworkers was there getting ready.

"Acacia, are you alright?" My favorite person of all time, Jeremy, asked as he helped me off the floor.

"Yeah, I'm just extra clumsy tonight, don't mind me. I'll get ready, and we can head out together." I replied. He gave me two thumbs up, and I started doing what I said. Hopefully, tonight will be different, and I will be able to make plenty of tips.

After asking for the next day off, my boss Sharon told me to take it since I was her favorite worker. I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to go against Harold's wishes. The last time that happened, I was chained in the basement and beaten into submission.

I also asked my other boss at the animal shelter, and she asked me to go ahead. After parting ways with Jeremy, I got in my car and tiredly made my way home. It's almost five in the morning. The usual time I get off work for my night shift, but it always left me drained.

Something happened to Mesha because of the mistreatment that we received, and she had gotten quieter than before. I have tried communicating with her before, but she would always say a few words and then nothing.

I was able to make it home alive, and when I got there, I noticed that there was another vehicle parked in the driveway. I furrowed my brows as I tried to figure out who could be here so early, but then I remembered that Harold mentioned something about some people visiting, so maybe it was them. But why so early? I groaned and got out of my car after I parked it, then made my way inside, where I heard talking coming from the living room. He was the first one who saw me, and the smile he gave me terrified me. Just what was going on here?

"Aww, here she is, my one and only stepdaughter." I gulped when all eyes landed on me, I didn't know what to do.

'Run!' Mesha shouted in my mind as I could feel her starting to panic, but I didn't run. I knew that something was wrong because of the vibes I was getting from these men and should have done exactly what Mesha said, but I was too in shock to do anything.

"She doesn't have much going on for her. Is this what Alpha King Elio purchased?" One of the men asked. My father scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"She might not be good to look at, but she's breedable, and your Alpha asked for an omega that's breedable. I believe that selling her to him was a good decision." I released a nervous laugh after Dad said that.

"Um, Dad, what?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure, but my mind was still debating whether I should run or not.

"That's not the case. Alpha King Elio strictly asked for someone beautiful. She has untamed dull black hair that's going all over the place, and she's short. What is she 5'5?" The man asked while narrowing his eyes at me. Way to go, Sherlock.

"On top of that, her eyes are too big, and she doesn't even have any breasts that are visible to my eyes, let alone an ass. From here, I can see how flat it is. If the earth was flat, it would have been her fault because she sat on it." The other man laughed as the asshole continued to insult me. Yeah, I know that I wasn't that good-looking, but did he have to say it like that? Poisonous bitch.

"I think that Alpha King Elio would like her, let's just look past her flaws and get the fuck out of here. Give the old man his money." The kind man said to the other, who shot me a nasty glare but handed Dad a briefcase which I can assume had said money.

When I finally came to terms with what was happening, I decided to follow Mesha's advice and run. I turned around and sprinted out of there as fast as I could. I didn't have the strength to run as quickly as I would like, given the fact that Mesha kept on locking herself away, which prevented me from doing plenty of things.

I heard thunderous footsteps behind me, but I didn't stop as I tried to run to my neighbor's house. I was just about to make it when I was suddenly yanked from behind and pulled into a tight hold by one of the men.

I started struggling, fighting for my life, but as you can guess they are stronger than I am. So, it was easy for them to subdue me.

Trying to put up one last fight, I threw my head back and heard an ouch, which told me that I succeeded in my aim.

"Come on, grab the whore, and let's go, I don't want to deal with this anymore." The man who was holding me said, and the other one did as he was told. Needless to say, I lost a fighting battle since I was outnumbered.

They managed to throw me in the car they came in, and I bumped my head against the door, leaving me feeling dizzy.

Is this what my life turned out to be? I'm as helpless as a young pup. I couldn't defend myself properly or even think straight. I should have gone straight to my car, but I forgot that I had the key and I could have gone to my room, but they would have kicked the door down to get to me. I was unable to call for any help, so I was stuck.

What I couldn't get over, though, was the fact that I was sold by my father to some king I knew nothing of. I was forcefully taken from my home, and now I was about to be handed over to someone who was allegedly supposed to get me pregnant.

I could have asked why this was happening to me, but I chose not to since I already believed that the day I was born as an omega, was to say I was cursed.

Knowing what was in store for me, I made a promise not just to myself, but to Mesha as well, that I was going to escape. I was going to run and start a new life for myself, even if it kills me, I'll die trying. Mark my words.

"Where are you taking me? My father didn't mean it, you know that, right? I'm nineteen years old, for goddess' sake! Please let me live my life." I know that I was probably annoying them, but I don't care. I wanted to get away, so I'd do anything to be able to.

"For the love of everything holy, can't you keep quiet!?" One of the men shouted. I don't even know what his problem is with me.

"I know that I haven't done anything for you to be acting like this, so why are you acting like this towards me? We could be great friends, you know." That only caused him to laugh as if I had told one of the funniest jokes of the year.

"If you don't want me to shut you up, I suggest you stop talking. You have a long journey ahead, so buckle up and be quiet." I huffed and folded my arms, not liking the way I was being ignored. I was also panicking, which was the cause for Mesha to disappear. No, my wolf wasn't a coward. It's just that with the constant yelling from our father, she found it difficult to trust anyone. I did too, but I had to act strong for both of us. I couldn't allow one bad memory to make me weak, that's not who I am.

It took at least four hours for us to arrive at a castle-like building, and I hate to admit that it was nice to look at. I shook my head, scolding myself. I'm not here to gawk and act like a fangirl over certain things like this, I should be trying to find a way out of this mess that my father had managed to successfully place me in.

"Get a move on, mouse," I growled, wishing that this guy would stop talking already. He pulled me out of the car and pushed me towards the door. The guard there nodded his head and opened the door, letting us inside.

"Right this way, Alpha Elio is expecting you." The other man said with a charming smile on his face. That alone lets me know that I shouldn't trust him.

When we got to the throne room, I couldn't stop myself from gasping at how handsome the king was. He has jet-black hair and the sharpest pair of eyes that were staring at me. I couldn't tell the color of his eyes from here, but I'll assume that they are Grey. My knees almost gave out because of the scent that was coming off him in waves. The scent stirred my wolf and took her out of her hiding spot. The scent of sandalwood that lets me know that he's my mate.

"Is this the omega that Harold Ferguson sent for me?" Elio stood up and made his way towards me. I started backing away from him, but I was stopped by one of the men who brought me here.

"Yes, Alpha." The other man replied. Elio scoffed and shook his head, then folded his arms as he was looking me up and down. Checking to see if there was something he liked.

"Not much to look at, but she'll have to do for now. You know where to take her. I'll be there to visit her shortly." My eyes become wide, and I started to protest because that was the last thing that I expected to happen.

"No please, please don't let me go there, Elio." I was shocked by what he did next, I didn't know that my mate would be capable of doing that to me the moment I met him. My cheek stung from the force of the hit, making me stumble a bit from fright.

"Don't ever disrespect me like that again. Address me by my title, not my name. You are only here for one reason, and that is to bear my pup." I bared my neck, knowing that I should submit to him. I'm not even sure why I allowed my big mouth to run like that, I knew that it was disrespectful, but I couldn't stop myself.

"What are you waiting for? Nashton, Chase, get her out of my sight!" Elio shouted and they started doing what he said. Once we were out of the room, the guy, I now know as Nashton, started laughing. He was saying that Elio didn't even want me, and he hoped that our pup would not resemble me. I kept quiet in the dungeon, which seemed as if it was going to be my room from now on.

I was too tired of what was going on in my life, I hadn't had a good day since my mother left. Every so often I wish that she was here, but it seems as if she didn't want me. She could have taken me with her when she rejected Harold, but she left me to deal with the hardship by myself. I've learned to take care of things from an early age, to not depend on anyone else for anything at all. That's why they said that the good always suffers for the bad, I thought that I would have been treated differently, but that's just some fairy tale crap that I once believed in. If Elio succeed, and I got pregnant, I don't think I can remain here knowing that he hated me. He's my mate, and it seems as if he doesn't even know it. I'm too tired for that right now.

I was abused, but not broken, I worked hard without even worrying about myself. I took care of everything and this is the thanks I got? Sighing, I closed my eyes and from the stress that I went through my body was too tired to care, so I fell asleep on the dirty floor of a dungeon that I had been placed in by my mate. I will find a way out of here, even if I have to die trying. No one was going to keep me locked up, I'll make sure they regretted it.
