Sold To The Cursed Alpha

The Curse

It was exactly 9:30 a.m., yet the weather condition was already superheated despite the turbulent weather that occurred the previous day. One would think the morning would be welcomed by a heavy downpour.

Just like every other morning, Alpha Diego was seated happily in his beautiful garden, feeding his eyes on his beautiful Royal Castle. Most of them are all amongst other packs. Blue Moon Pack is a magnificent and attractive edification, built with fortified gigantic walls that usually prevent opposition wolves from trooping into the royal Castle unannounced.

While Alpha Diego was seated in his beautiful garden, meditating and taking pleasure, a strange person found her way to the Blood Moon pack without his consent. No one saw her walk inside despite the massive male wolves safeguarding the castle walls. It was as though she came in like the wind. Narrowing her gaze at the environment, she sniffed the atmosphere and shook her head in pity. "Hmm! Drastic attention needs to be taken. I smell danger. Real danger that may wreck the Alpha's lineage."

"Hey, you. Stop it right there. Where are you going? I need you to run an errand for me. Are you free?"

She points at a staff passing by.

"No, I'm not. I'm so starving right now. I just need to get something to eat before I perish. I starved myself to sleep last night," the young girl suspected to be Alpha Diego staff responded.

"Your food can wait. You can do that some other time. But right now, I need to speak with the Alpha. It's an emergency. I bring him a message that's more important than feeding your empty stomach. Now depart immediately without hesitation before I lose it completely," the moon guardian ordered but the staff refused and insisted on being fed before running errands for the moon guardian even when Alpha Diego was involved.

"You must be a fool to think I'll ever let you go. How dare you defile my orders? Go call the Alpha this moment if you don't wanna see the other side of me. I can be very dangerous. I'll ensure the Alpha punishes you severely for disobeying me. The choice is yours to make. I'm not gonna put the pressure on you. I'm not asking you, this is me telling you to do this and you're gonna obey me," she threatened the chef sending shivers down her spine. This time, the chef obeyed and immediately stormed to the garden to fetch the Alpha.

"Are you blind? Can't you see I'm observing my quiet time? How dare you interrupt my hour? Have you suddenly lost respect for the Alpha's privacy? Now I get it. You're tired of your duty. You want a dismissal?" Alpha Diego yelled at his staff after hearing that his attention was needed at the pack.

"I apologize for invading your privacy. It wasn't intentional. But the moon guardian sounded so urgent. She wouldn't leave until you showed up. You may wanna consider her request, my Alpha."

"The moon guardian? What does she want at this hour? Isn't too early to visit? Hmm! You go tell the moon guardian I'll be there shortly. You can leave," Diego instructed.

"But she demands to see you immediately, my Alpha,"

"One more word from you and that's the end. I'll dismiss you without pay. That's not all. I'll ensure no one associates with you in this pack. Now get the fuck out of here," Diego threatened him. Immediately, she took to her heels and dashed back to the moon guardian.

"I just spoke with the Alpha. He'll join you shortly. Your message was delivered. Can I leave now?"

"Hmm" nodding her head in affirmation, the moon guardian replied.

"What a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting to see you this early.

What is conveyed by the Moon guardian to my pack at this hour? We all know you rarely visit, but when you do, it calls for swift attention. I want to believe this isn't a friendly visit, right? What message does the moon goddess have for me this time," walking majestically to his sacred throne and accompanied by his BETA, Jayson, Alpha Diego tossed the question at Arindia, the moon guardian? He can't seem to recall the last time she visited the pack, let alone at this hour. His instincts tell him there is a situation on the ground that requires drastic attention, but he just can't decipher. Hopefully, Arindia would spill.

"Good to see you again, Alpha Diego. You may not be far from the truth, Alpha. Wait for it! You have plenty of time to ask questions. Smart of you to know I rarely visit, but when I do, then it calls for urgent attention. I doubt if you're ready for what's coming your way."

"Coming my way? Now I'm getting scared. I can't seem to comprehend what you're talking about. Please be seated let's dwell on this extensively. What do you care for? I could ask my staff to get you something.

I'm completely in the dark. A little explanation would do." Diego was puzzled. He strives to discern the aura hovering around him, but he just can't wrap his head around it.

"So generous of you Alpha, Diego. I'm indeed honored by your act of generosity. But I prefer to stand and divulge the divine message sent by Selene, the moon goddess. I didn't come here to be entertained like a special guest. I was just sent by the moon goddess to deliver an important message. Once that is accomplished, I'll leave." Politely, she refused. Narrowing her gaze into his blue eyes, she frowned and looked away.

"Hmm! Quite fascinating.

Your words convey profound utterances that could only be understood by the wise. I'm afraid I cannot understand the in-depth meaning. I am not loving the suspense, either. Please speak and quit playing with my emotions," Diego sparked outrageously. He doesn't appreciate being kept in suspense for too long. Especially in a situation like this involving the moon goddess. From the tone of her utterance, Diego could discern an impending storm lurking in his pack. But whatever that is, he's willing to find out.

Finding the chosen.

"What's the problem? Your food would get cold If you keep pacing around. You just need to eat something. Remember you starved yourself to bed last night. Is that your new routine?" Jayson questioned his Alpha with keen interest.

"Food? I don't consider it important anymore. Why should I eat when my heart is troubled, huh? No, you tell me. I'm sure you saw what happened a while ago. Perhaps I should remind you. I've been condemned to death. Don't you get it? My future lies in the hands of a teenage girl.

Where do I find her?" Diego yelled at Jayson, his BETA. The night was fast approaching and Diego refused to eat anything. Ever since the moon guardian revealed the hidden, Diego suddenly lost his appetite. He didn't quite believe food was essential when his life was in ruin.

"I know how you feel right now. But one thing I'm certain about is, that finding a teenage girl isn't difficult. With your position as the Alpha of this pack, no one would resist the opportunity of joining the Royal family," Jayson raised his hopes high again.

"Hmm! You seem so confident about this issue. How do I intend to work out, I've got no clue about this shit? I've for an idea. I want you to step out tomorrow and go find me a teenage girl to bear me a son. I'm sure you don't want to lose your Alpha to sudden death, do you?"

"Of course, not. You still have many years ahead of you. Death ain't for nothing on you. You'll reign forever," Jayson assured.

"Exactly what I wanted to hear. I don't wanna die anytime soon. I don't even have a child yet. No family or anything. I'm just alone! Now, if you want me to achieve that, you'd go out there and find me a teenage girl." Diego ordered Jayson and dismissed him.

"Yes, my Alpha. May your wish be granted as I embark on the quest of finding you the chosen one to liberate you and break the death curse." Jayson bowed to show his respect and vacated Diego's chambers.

*************

A new day has finally emerged. The day Diego has been yearning for. For every minute that goes by, his soul burns in pain and seeks a solution to his problem. He's quite aware of how difficult it is to find a teenage girl who would accept his demand, but somehow he still believes the moon goddess won't watch and do nothing while he suffers condemnation.

*********

The rays of the morning light flickered into Jayson's room and interrupted his sleep. "It's morning already. I need to prepare for the task ahead. "He tossed off the bed and prepared himself for the difficult tasks that awaited him. The longevity of the Alpha now rests on his shoulder. If he fails to return home without positive feedback, he might as well start preparing for the Alpha's funeral. After getting dressed, he stepped outside to knock on Diego's' door.

"I know it's you already. Stop playing games. Tell me what you seek. Wait a minute. But I thought I sent you a task. What are you doing here? Proceed with it immediately. I don't have the luxury of time and patience. You need to come back home with her," Diego rudely said, without granting Jayson permission to speak. What Jayson has to say doesn't matter to the Alpha. He just wants positive feedback.

"I know right? I just came to tell you before I depart. I'm ready for the adventure ahead. Hopefully, I'll be back with positive feedback." Jayson disclosed.

"Go in peace! Blessings and favor shall you find in the sight of Selene, the moon goddess,"

One major worry is the prospect of getting a teenage girl who would accept to become the Alpha's bride. In the same pack, teenage girls are subjected to promiscuity. Jayson was aware of this weird fact, yet he agreed to risk it all for this dreadful mission. He wasn't going to sit back and watch his Alpha suffer for what he knows nothing about.

It was 8:30 a.m., yet everywhere was deserted with no traders, hunters, or passersby found on the street. The Blood Moon pack isn't known for absolute decorum or stillness on a morning like this. It appears as though every parent deliberately locked their daughters to make Jayson's task more difficult than it already seems. Far and wide, Jayson journeyed, yet he couldn't find any teenage girl to reach a compromise with. He motioned to different houses and presented the Alpha's mouthwatering proposal. Yet, he was unable to find a family to negotiate with. No family was willing to give out their daughter to the cruelest of Alpha. Not everyone was aware of the curse, yet they refused the life-changing opportunity of becoming the Alpha's bride.

"I didn't sign up for this. It has been difficult for me. I never for once, imagined it would turn out this way. What will I do now? I gave the Alpha my word. I can't return to the pack with negativity. No, it's never gonna happen. Something needs to be done. I must salvage the situation." Jayson soliloquizes beneath in the woods. He has lost all hope of finding a teenage girl. The night is spreading so fast like wildfire as darkness encloses the atmosphere. Just when he thought of giving up already, he heard some strange footsteps around him. Without hesitation, he stood from the ground, sniffed the atmosphere pointing his sword at an invisible creature. "Who are you? Why are you hiding like a coward? Reveal yourself and wrestle with me to a fight if you're so courageous. And I'd slit your throat with my sword while I watch you slowly bleed to death.

"What an Oscar-worthy of performance. You should consider a career in acting. Please save it, BETA, Jayson. You might need the energy later but certainly not now. I'm not here to fight you. I just wanna talk. You might just need my help. So take it slow." A masculine voice spoke and strolled behind him.

"Talk? What can you possibly offer? There's absolutely nothing to talk about. I don't even know you. Who are you, and how did you find me? Speak now before I feed your remains to the vultures." Jayson threatened with full rage and bloodstained eyes.

"I understand your rage. If I were asked to find the Alpha a teenage girl, I'd be more furious than you. If you keep acting this way, you might go back to the Alpha without positive news. You shouldn't be a stranger to the Alpha's rage. A friendly piece of advice for you. Stay calm" the stranger added and kept Jayson in suspense.

"This is unbelievable. How did you?.." Jayson took a deep breath and widened his mouth in astonishment.

"I know that look on your face. Are you surprised how I found out? I'll tell you. Oh, yes, you disclosed it. Let's just say I had my ears on the ground when you stopped the neighborhood today, asking parents if they could allow their daughters to marry the Alpha and bear him a son," And I bet the Alpha will be inclined to risk a fortune to find this beautiful teenage girl, right? Hahaha!" The young man laughed mischievously and poked fun at Jayson.

"You won't dare do that. Have you suddenly lost respect for the Alpha? Ain't no way Alpha Diego is gonna pay a dime to have her. She should be giving it out for free. I mean, It's every girl's dream to become the Alpha's bride, and you know that,"

"Nice of you to believe I'd give her out for free. Nice try. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not ready to trade for free. I'm here to get the cash. I can see you're not ready to do business with me. Good luck finding another teenage girl. I'm sure the Alpha will be waiting for you right now." He turned to walk away, but Jayson called him back.

"Bravo! I thought you wouldn't call me back. I knew I could do business with you. 20 pieces of silver and my teenage niece would be the Alpha to keep. Just say yes and by cock crow tomorrow, I would personally take her to the Alpha. She trusts me so much. She won't suspect a thing. By the way, my name's Antonio. It was nice doing business with you,"

"You son of a bitch. Don't fucking play games with me. Else you'll regret it. If you keep the Alpha waiting by tomorrow morning, I'll find you, and I'll kill you. It's a promise. Alpha Diego shouldn't be messed around with." Jayson threatened and accepted the crazy offer.

20 Pieces Of Silver.

"Hey, Madeline. What are doing there? Get your ugly-looking self down here immediately. We need to go see the Alpha at this moment. One of his staff showed up yesterday and invited us over for a special assignment. We need the money to survive," Antonio roared at his niece, Madeline, who had just completed most of the house chores, despite retiring to sleep the previous night in starvation. He despised Madeline and treated her like a piece of trash. Nothing about her ever mattered to him anymore. Living with Antonio was hell for Madeline. Life was completely meaningless for her. Every day, she wishes to just take her life and end the everlasting torment.

"I was home the whole day yesterday and no one showed up. What time was that? I could have missed that part," Madeline protested and questioned the ingenuity of her Uncle's claims. She was home all day yesterday and could swear no one showed up. Somehow, Madeline feels Antonio might be telling a lie and up to mischief.

"You're in no position to argue with me. Would I tell you a lie? I know what I'm talking about. Go get dressed. You can't be seen like this near the Alpha looking wretched and unkempt." Antonio clapped back to instill fear inside her.

"I don't intend to argue with you. Even if you're right on this one, can you wait until I'm done with the house chores? I'm not done yet, Uncle. Remember, you instructed me to finish up before 9:30 a.m. The Alpha's quarters are a long distance. I might collapse before we arrive there. Can I please get something to eat? I'm starving." Madeline pleaded as she frowned her face. Her once fat neck had suddenly become thin as her skin was gradually fading away like the evening sun. She's just a teenager, yet looks older than her age.

"Damn you, Madeline. Stop arguing with me. One more word from you and I'll feed your remains to the vultures. Stop calling me your uncle. We are not related in any way. Don't you dare question my authority next time? When I talk, you listen. You'll go inside, have your bath, get dressed and come with me. Is that understood? I don't wanna repeat myself," Antonio threatened and forcefully grabbed Madeline by the arm, almost hurting her. He doesn't give a fuck if she perishes in starvation. He was only concerned about the 20 pieces of silver he intended to receive from Jayson after selling Madeline off.

"Yes, sir," Madeline obeyed and dashed back inside to freshen up. In a few minutes, she was outside looking slightly better than the last time. Eve thought she looked skinny, malnourished, and pale.

"This is what I'm talking about. You look more human now. Get in the front where I can see you. I don't trust you a bit. You might run off in a blink of an eye," he spanked Madeline's head and pushed her to the front.

"I haven't been to the Alpha's quarter before. How do I possibly lead the way? We might get lost. I suggest you stay in front while I follow," Going against his command, Madeleine frowned and folded her hand. Antonio was speechless. The sun was gradually setting in. Aware of the vow he made to Jayson the previous day, Antonio didn't argue or drag words with her. He simply pointed to the front and spoke in a soft tone. "Lead the way." Immediately, she obeyed as though she were controlled like a robot.

Halfway through the Alpha's quarters, Madeline got exhausted and pleaded for them to return home. She immediately fell to the ground and cried out. "I'm thirsty. Please get me water. I might die of starvation. Please, help me. "

"Stop being lazy like a tortoise and walk like a human. You dragging us back. The Alpha's quarter is just a stone's throw. Get up and walk. We've come a long way to quit now. Come on, you can do it. We can't afford to lose this opportunity. Poverty is scrubbing our faces in the mud. Remember the Alpha doesn't like being kept waiting," Antonio commanded with a shout.

"No, I can't. I don't care how the Alpha feels right now. I need to rest a bit. I'm so exhausted right now. I can't do this anymore. Do you wish me dead?" Madeline refused and remained on the ground.

"Okay, fine. You win. I'm not even arguing with you this minute.

You've got less than five minutes to rest. I believe that should be enough to regain your lost strength." For the very first time, he agreed to do it her way. She has never for once, disobeyed his orders. After a few minutes of relaxation, Wayne stretches his hand. "It's time. Be on your feet,"

"Wait a minute. Why are you so interested in meeting the Alpha? You look so excited and desperate. Is there something you not telling me? What are you up to?" She raised the doubt.

"Me? I explained to you before. The Alpha invited us to work for him. We both know how important this money is to us. Enough of the questions already. Would you get up and continue this journey with me? The sun is gradually setting out," yet again, he brainwashed Madeline.

She frowned her face and stood up from the ground as they proceeded with the journey. Se couldn't detect his lies and pretenses.

"Here we are. Stay right here and get the rest you can. I'll just go inside and notify the Alpha of our presence," he instructed as he gestured to Jayson's room and announced his presence.

"Finally! Someone fulfilled his promise. thought you'd never show up. Thank the moon goddess you showed up. Where is she? Take me to her immediately." Jayson demanded.

"Hey, not so fast. If you keep rushing you might break a tooth. I fulfilled my promise, how about you do the same?" Antonio initiated.

"Promises? What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I see you already forgot. Hold on a second. I'll remind you. You might be missing out on something. Where's my reward for fetching the Alpha his trophy," Jayson stretches his palm to receive the 20 pieces of silver as previously agreed.

"Now you got what you wanted. Don't you dare play games with me? Now take me to her immediately." With a boiling temper, Jayson requested violently.

"Take a chill pill while I lead the way. And please, Madeline is just a teenager. She deserves to be pampered like a Luna. I know how aggressive the Alpha could be, but please, Madeline is too fragile. Now come with me." Antonio leads Jayson to Madeline. "There she is. Pretty, huh? hahahaha. I know right? She's all yours now!" He pointed at Madeline and walked away smiling, knowing his mission had been completed. Jayson ensured Madeline was well monitored while he went to call Diego.

Several minutes have gone and neither Antonio nor Jayson has returned. Madeline was scared and worried at the same time. No one told her it would turn out this way. If only Madeline knew her way home, she wouldn't have hesitated to leave immediately.

Suddenly, Alpha Diego and Jayson, his BETA showed up. "Hmm! Not bad. Even though I expected more. Anxiety has enclosed your face. Worried about your Uncle?" Diego asked after meeting Madeline for the first time.

"Yes, I am. We are supposed to come work for the Alpha. He told me to wait here while he went to call the Alpha. Hold on a sec, are you Alpha Diego? OMG! I had no idea. Where's my Uncle? He's supposed to return here with you. Is he safe? What happened to him?" She asked in terror. Seeing alpha Diego scares Madeline but she tries to conceal the fear and act friendly.

"So nice of you to care about someone that doesn't give a fuck about you. What a waste of generosity. News flash: You're caring for the wrong person. You don't have to worry about your uncle. He's never gonna come back. He already got paid after selling you to us. I'm surprised you weren't aware. What am I even saying? I bet you wouldn't be here If he had told you. Your mission here is to grace my bed and birth me a son. After which you'd be set free. So you see, it's not that difficult, is it?" Diego disclosed.

"Birth you a son? I don't manufacture children. My uncle must have lied to you. I haven't birthed a child before. What makes you think I can birth you one?

This is unrealistic. I can't believe I was tricked. Antonio never mentioned this to me. I'm just a teenager. What could I possibly offer to you? Isn't it a slap in your face? I think the Alpha deserves better." Madeline protested, facing the ground. She was scared to look into his face. His presence scares the living daylight out of her.

"Come off it. I call the shots here.

You're in no position to decide what's best for the Alpha. I've made my decision and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Now you need to freshen up. You're so disgusting. Tonight, we are making a baby. So brace up. Be on your best behavior." Diego poked fun at Madeline and instructed his BETA to take her away for a thorough body wash. Madeline was speechless, yet helpless. She accepted her fate since she couldn't do anything to salvage the situation. She was shown to her room, where she had her bathe and ate like an overfed cow. Not only that, but she didn't blame Wayne for betraying her. Rather, she saw this as nature taking its place in her life. Madeline can't recall the last time she had a cool bath or ate a proper meal. It's more like a blessing in disguise for her.

************

The night was calm and fresh. The night air pulsed with the sound of cricket. Madeline shuffled to her window, narrowing her gaze at the stars in the sky. She'd be summoned to the Alpha's room to have sex with him shortly.

"Knock! Knock! Are you home?

The Alpha demands your presence in his room. Prepare yourself for the hour has arrived to make a baby with the Alpha." Jayson announced as he landed a knock on her door. She wasn't surprised because she knew it would surely result in this. With an ocean of tears dripping from her eyes, Madeline stepped out with fear and anxiety hoarding her face.

"What are you still waiting for? You can leave. We wanna be left alone. You'd be called when needed." Diego dismissed Jayson to be with Madeline. For a second, she was completely lost and not conscious of what was happening around her.

"What are you doing? Don't stand there staring at me like a dummy. Do what you were here for. Take off your dress and come join me on the bed and spread your legs so damn wide. I wanna insert my penis in your vagina. We've got a mission to accomplish." he shouted at Madeline. The breeze was chilly on her soft palms, and she shivered like a hen drenched by the turbulent, heavy downpour. Reluctantly, she undressed herself and went completely naked with no clothes on.

"Come here, you peasant. I'm not here to play games!" Irritated by her sluggishness, he pulled Madeline by the hair and forcefully had sex with her. Impatience was slowly killing him. He refused to be moved by her tears. She wept in anguish, gasping, pleading for Mercy, but there was none to save her. She was left alone to suffer for what she knows nothing about. After the sex, she started bleeding from her private part. "Now this is the part I detest. You got my penis stained with your blood.

Why did you lie to me? You never told me you were a virgin," Shocked by the blood, Diego asked. Now he knows why she acted a bit awkward before the sex.

"Well, you never asked. Now you know why I acted that way. You want a baby right? You shouldn't be concerned about my virginity. It shouldn't be a problem for you,"

"You still don't get it. Virgins cringe at me. I detest me."

"Sorry about that. What If my Virgina gets swollen? How do I treat that? This is my first time having sex and it was painful. You drilled me like a borehole, "

"Don't worry about the swollen area. Your body will return to normal," Alpha Diego assured.
