Defective

“I knew you would be interested, my Lords!” The horrid man said with flattery all over his voice. “I believe we can make arrangements, can’t we?”

“Wait a moment.” This was the second man who spoke before.

I heard footsteps in the distance and even though I could hear just fine - I was blind, so my hearing was much more refined than normal. Still, the men spoke so softly that I couldn't remember what they were talking about. Then the footsteps began to approach. I heard the sounds of things clinking.

“Each of us will make a share of the money equal to the slave price. You will give us a paper stating just that.” I think that was the first man who spoke when he entered.

“The… Will the three of them jointly purchase this slave?” The owner of that place asked and I noticed he looked not only surprised but displeased.

"Problems with that?" That was the third to speak. “You offered a price, and the three of us will buy the slave together.”

“But how could the three of them use it as divided property?” The owner asked and then I noticed the change in his tone. “Of course, gentlemen. I will arrange the papers.”

I heard the door close and I knew I had been left there alone with those males who were said to be buying me. I was being sold like a commodity…

“You, girl, what's your name?” I heard one of them asking. I was so bewildered by my fate that I couldn't remember who that was.

“S-Sibyl.” I replied, in a lower voice than usual.

“Have you found your fated mate yet, girl?” another asked. His tone was much more coarse and arrogant.

"No." I answered and before they asked me another question, I decided to ask one of my own.

“Gentlemen, please… What will you do with me?”

I needed to know. As I was coming here, I wasn't alone in that cage. Another girl wouldn't shut up and she told me that pretty girls like me were usually sold to brothels.

"Don't be full of yourself, slave!" The arrogant one yelled.

“Come on, Ronther, don't be so mean. Can't you see she looks like a scared little bunny?"

“You are too soft, Shaun!” That Ronther complained.

"Stop fighting! Even more so in front of the slave!" The other, the only one I still didn't know the name of, spoke up, he seemed to be the most leader of the three.

“You don't rule us, Ulric. We are the three Alphas, each their own packs. Don't treat me like I'm some moron under your orders." That Ronther hissed. He was the most stressed out of the three, the most unpleasant. But incredibly, even though he spoke in that tone, I enjoyed listening to him.

“Something is wrong with her.” Shaun said and I heard someone approaching where I was standing. I felt a certain wind in front of my face and I knew what was happening. They were seeing if I could see.

Maybe they didn't want me anymore. On the one hand, it was good that I wouldn't walk away belonging to three males, but then… If I went to a brothel, I would be in much bigger trouble.

“Is she blind?” Ronther asked and he let out a snort of utter displeasure. "What the hell? I will not pay for defective merchandise!”

Those words were hurtful. They hurt me terribly, for as much as my parents tried to keep me out of the public eye and gossip, there was always someone who managed to be nasty to me because I couldn't speak. Now, in addition to being a slave, I was also a damaged object.

Not a person with a disability. I was an object. A damaged object.

"Damn it, Ronther, you really don't know when to shut up!" Ulric scuffled with Ronther and I heard someone walking towards me. A warm hand was placed on my shoulder and I immediately flinched. “Calm down, we are not going to hurt you.”

A snort.

“Speak for yourself!” Ronther again.

“I won't hurt you, therefore I can only infer that you talk about yourself.” Shaun looked thoughtful and I heard a sneer in his voice. “Which also makes no sense, since you won't be paying for her, which will make our dear Sibyl belong to just Ulric and me. And if you harm a slave of mine, we will have a bloody war!”

My head was hurting from that damn argument. I wanted to get out of there. Those three males were suffocating me and the fact that I couldn't see but could hear every little noise they made… Their clothes were noisy and I needed to get out!

“Sibyl?” The hand on my shoulder gave a light squeeze and I whimpered. "Everything will be fine." Ulric said calmly.

On the same day, I was taken into Ulric's band, for which I was very grateful. He was the least unpleasant. I would even say he was kind.

I was taken to a room, given a wonderful meal, and allowed to lie down. The bed was extremely soft, comfortable and, I could feel that the bedding was really good!

A knock at the door and I smelled him, Ulric.

"Hello! Did you get some rest?” he asked, but the door remained closed.

“Y-yes!” I answered.

"Can I enter?" His voice was very smooth and polite.

"Yes, of course you can." How could he not? That was his pack!

The door opened and he entered. His scent intensified further. Ah, how fragrant he was! But it was his natural scent, I could tell.

“Hmm, Sibyl, I would like to discuss with you why the three of us bought you.” he started to speakcalmly and I nodded in agreement. At least someone would tell me the truth. Being in the dark because I was unable to see was bad enough. I need not remain ignorant, either, as to my own destiny.

“I would very much like to know.”

"Right then." Ulric took a deep breath. “We need you to be our breeder.”
