Chapter 5

   "What was my step dad saying, " Who should they have?" I wondered. Suddenly I felt arms grab me on my shoulders and I turned to look at who it was in alarm only to see the royal guards from the palace. What were they doing here and why were they holding me? I knew it was them because of the royal crest on their uniforms.

I struggled to free myself from them but they were way too strong. I turned to look at my step dad who was still smirking and yelled.

" What is going on? Tell them to let me go" but the guy with blond hair just laughed. 

" We can't let you go sweetie," He said, licking his lips. " You are already out property now or at least his' ' He added and I scrunch my eyebrows up in confusion. Who was he talking about?

" She doesn't know?" The guy with the long black hair asked coldly and I was stunned to see my step father shivering.

" Know what?" I asked quietly and the guy with the long black hair just cast his cold gaze at me for a few seconds before taking it away to my step father.

" Tell her everything now" He ordered and my step father immediately nodded before casting a glare at me as he spoke. I felt my jaw drop at what he uttered next. How could he be so cruel?

" I sold you over to them for a thousand pieces of gold" . I felt life Leave me at those words. Now that explains all these excessive spending,his happiness,his sudden kindness to me. It was all because he sold me and he bought these dresses and made me up so I could look presentable enough In Front of them to be accepted.

I felt tears stream down my eyes at the thought of what I just heard. I never had a life of my own because all were always based on him. The selfish bastard and now? He is selling me off to live my life for another? 

" So all that stuff about my mum yesterday was a lie?" I asked in hope of him denying it but he just smirked and said.

" How could you be so dumb to think I actually meant those words and believe me?"He asked and I reared back in shock.

" Perhaps I was right, you were of use to me but only to fetch me a damn lot of money" He added gesturing to everything he had repaired in the house with the money he used to sell me.

I felt more tears steam my eyes and rage began to fill me. I looked up at him with bloodshot eyes and growled. Sapphire my wolf breaking through.

" You will regret this" . My step father reared back in shock at my outburst while the blond haired guy nodded to the guards and they intensified their hold on me as I struggled against them. I growled and fought against their hold but it was just too strong and Sapphire was growing more aggressive. She wanted to be free,she hated being caged or held against her will.

My wolf was an aggressive stubborn one so I mostly kept her locked at bay fearing what she might do if she came in charge but today. I let her because there was no way I was going to let these men take me away. My step father started to cower back seeing how aggressive I was and Sapphire loved the smell of his fears. 

After much struggling,she broke free from the guard and tore hard at one of them, injuring him seriously. I'm the process before taking control totally as I shifted into my form.

" Magnificent" I heard the blonde guy say, but that wasn't either of Sapphire's concern as we kept forward and landed on my step father who was about dashing out of the sitting room into safety. Sapphire growled at him ferociously and he whimpered. Sapphire used her claws and scratched his face. He was going to die in her hands today. How dare he try to sell her?

  As she was about to do further damage,she felt something injected into her system and she howled loudly in pain as she tried to fight the sleeping dose already functioning in her system. She turned to attack the intruder who ruined her plan but was too weak and was already succumbing to the effect of the drug. The last thing I saw was the black haired guy looking at me with amazement in his eyes.

    Hours later,I woke up on a very comfy bed. I snuggled more into it but suddenly jumped up. I didn't have a bed as soft and comfy as this. I looked around where I was and was surprised to find myself in a gigantic room the whole of my step father's apartment and speaking of my step father, immediately memories of what happened before I passed out came flooding back into my head.

  " Oh no" I muttered regretfully. We didn't get to make our escape.

" I didn't get to end that bastard thanks to the black haired asshole" Sapphire muttered regretfully and I signed. That was what she was thinking about at the moment. Then I remembered how she slashed some of the guards and my step father's face then I gasped.

" Sapphire, you were too brutal," I scolded. 

" And you are too soft" she retaliated and I scoffed. ' How dare she?' My wolf and I don't exactly get along. I guess she hates me now for locking her at bay but I had no choice. She was too ferocious.

" You damn right I do hate you and I ain't ferocious. I was just trying to protect the both of us, "she explained. " And if you hadn't kept me at bay for years,I wouldn't have been that weak,I would have gotten us out and escaped" She added and I signed, palming my face. There was no arguing with her.

" Well, Well, Well" I heard a voice say from the dark while clapping. " The feisty girl is awake,my brothers told me quite a tale about you a while ago" He added. Sapphire was about to jump out again but I fought against her and shut her out.

" Who are you?" I asked. " Step out of the dark if you aren't a coward" I dared and the man behind the voice did. 

I gasped at what I was seeing and didn't know when I muttered the word.

     " OMG!".
