"Please, can you stop with all of these?" Kyra wanted to snap at him but her voice came out as a plea.

She knew that she was under his mercy and he could do anything he wanted with her and she won’t be able to stop him. She was his property after all.

She watched as Alpha Anto blinked once then twice. It was almost as if a fog cleared from his eyes because he immediately dropped his hand from her cheek and rose to his feet.

Kyra held onto her bedsheet as she looked up at him, trying hard not to show how distressed she was.

He looked down at her, "You can’t stop me," he said simply.

Kyra took a deep breath as she tried not to glare at him. "Look, I have no idea what type of game that you’re playing, but I don’t have interest in that. I don’t want you to touch me or say I’m beautiful. You have to respect that," she told him, her voice coming out harder than she expected.

‘Shut it, Kyra. If you want to survive then keep quiet.’ Her wolf snapped at her and Kyra pushed her to the back of her head. Her emotions were all over the place but she would like it very much if he never touched her again.

He leaned over, his nose almost brushing over hers. "You should be grateful that I’m touching you. This is my pack and I call the shots." With that, he straightened up.

She flinched at his words and she watched in frustration as he walked slowly to the door. He paused as his hand settled on the door knob.

"And, I can compliment whatever I want. I don’t care who it is or what if is, if I like something, I will buy it. Good night, beauty," he growled, his face wrinkled in annoyance as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

She screamed in anger, grabbing the pillow close to her, and hurling it at the spot he had been standing. Kyra hit the bed with a groan, using both hands to cover her eyes. What the hell was wrong with this Alpha? Why in God’s name did he buy her and bring her here?

'I think he likes to play mind games,' her wolf said, sounding stiff. ‘He bought you for a reason but until we find out the reason, you need to be careful and don’t forget to not provoke alpha Anton. We don’t know anything about him or his personality. Don’t get us killed. Suck it up and pretend to be nice.’

She hit the bed clumsily. "I don’t care what type of games he puts up, I’m not going to swallow everything that’s shoved at me. He is a fucking bastard who bought me for his own sick pleasure, and I just hate him.”

Kyra did not really feel anything right now where Anton was concerned except fear of the unknown.

'Is hate not a bit too strong? You don’t know the man and he rescued us from being sold out to the other evil alphas’

Kyra scoffed as she pulled herself up, wrapping the robes tightly as she looked at the door. "I don’t think so. On the contrary, it seems perfect for someone who buys women like toys. What if he is worse than they are and is just trying to get my guard down before he pounces?"

'You don’t know he does that. He called you beautiful just now. What if he likes you?' Her wolf tried to reason.

Kyra groaned as she massaged her head lightly. "Did you not hear when one of the maids spoke about special slaves. I feel it’s not just me that is around, there may be others too. Let’s not make him look like the victim, I’m the one here."

'You don’t need to be so angry. It would increase your blood pressure or something as you humans call it. You are pregnant, we need to protect our pup and we can only do that if you keep your head low.’

Kyra rolled her eyes as she stood up and she walked over to the trolley at the side of the room that still held her untouched food. She picked up the water in the cup and took a sip from it. "You got it. I’m a werewolf though, and not human. You’re inside of me, and we make a team, so stop trying to separate us."

'Yes, ma’am,' her wolf replied, sounding sarcastic.

Kyra rolled her eyes as she took more of the water before placing the cup back where it should be. She quietly made my way back to the bed, sliding under the covers. She shifted a bit, so she was laying on her back and facing the ceiling.

"Oh, Goddess! I don’t understand anything that is going on, but you do. Please give me the strength to go through this difficult phase of my life. I don’t know what Alpha Anton is planning, and I need you to guide me not to make the worst mistake of my life. Please, lead me through," Kyra mumbled this prayer, hoping that for once in her life the moon goddess would hear her.

She was awake for most part of the night just tossing and turning, her mind wandering everywhere. It was not until the wee hours of the morning before she drifted into a dreamless sleep

…

"Mabel, get me my drink!" Kyra snapped as she groaned and rolled over on the bed.

There was silence, which caused her to frown. When she sat up, she realized that she wasn’t in her room back at her father’s pack, but was in a strange room, and on a strange bed.

"What is going on?" she muttered as her eyes drifted around the room. Panic and dread quickly settled in the pit of her stomach.

Kyra racked her brian hard trying to figure out how she got here. Then it all came rushing into her head that Tristan who she loved and thought she would be together with betrayed her and her father organized an auction and sold her off to another alpha.

She was pregnant and in another man’s pack. Blood rushed to face at once as her bone turned chilly with fear.

Maybe it was because of adrenaline last night, she had not really been scared but she was right now, it was a different story entirely.

A girl in tight braids walked into the room smiling brightly at Kyra. She was wearing a light blue gown, which Kyra realized was a maid attire. The maid was also carrying a tray that she gripped tightly with both hands. This girl had not been among the maids that came into her room with Kate yesterday.

"Who are you?" Kyra asked as she eyed the girl in distrust. She did not like this girl at first glance and the wide smile on her face was too blinding, it made Kyra cringe.
