Chapter Three: Sold

Stacie’s POV

I was sure my eyes were as blank as Laurel’s eyes as I watched the ongoing auction.

In the last week since Uncle Daniel had sold me here, the both of us had been repeatedly placed on display for sales.

And yet, because of our master’s greed, the price he had placed on me was sky-high and made most of his customers think twice.

At this point, I had no idea if that was a good thing or not. Being here was disgusting but according to our master’s orders, Grade A products like me were treated with care and the men didn’t dare to violate me.

However, I felt it was only a matter of time. Just last night, I felt one of them try to get a feel of my boobs. And I feared what would happen to me in two weeks if I wasn’t bought.

“You are thinking again,” Laurel commented dryly beside me.

I nodded. Between us, we didn’t need too many words to describe how we were feeling. The guards couldn’t catch us talking or we were going to be punished.

That way, two or more people couldn’t plan their way out of here.

I had only one solution for myself. My transformation.

The chances were low but I would take anything I could get.

“We now have a stunning beauty from one of the packs around here. She has the Alpha blood running in her and would make her new master happy and feel fulfilled…” the host announced as I was dragged out of my cage.

I looked around the cramped and sweat filled room. This was the routine every night. But tonight, something felt different.

Smelled different.

Like there was some strong and sweet fragrance somewhere in the air.

I took a deep breath but the scent wafted even stronger.

“Starting from $100,000!” The host announced and like every other night, the room turned silent.

I bent my head down, uncomfortable from all the staring.

Every other girl had a starting bid of $20,000 and yet, I had five times the price.

“$105,000!” Someone yelled from the back.

The first bid was always the door opener and the whole room became wild with little increases in their bids.

When the bidding was starting to dwindle, a cold and solemn voice rang out from the VIP section.

“$300,000.”

I took in a sharp intake from the price I had heard and the way my body reacted to that voice.

And it was not just me, the whole hall became quiet. Including the host who had gasped the moment his words had fallen.

After what seemed like thirty minutes, the host spoke up.

“Good! $300,000 going! 1….2….3!”

His counting was brief like he was afraid the person could change their mind.

The Gavel came down and sealed the deal.

Or to be more specific, sealed my fate.

The chain binding me to the cage was unlocked and two men climbed the stage to lead me away from the stage.

I cast one look at Laurel while I said a prayer for her mentally.

As I had been the last ‘item’ the auction was done for the night. But the crowd showed no signs of dwindling with most of them gathering in small groups to discuss.

“Madame Flare would prepare you for being taken away by your master.” One of the guards told me when we stopped in front of a door.

Without knocking, they entered the room where a middle-aged lady was seated and playing cards all by herself.

“She sold for three times her auction price, the boss said to doll her up with the best of everything we have.”

The lady gasped as she looked at me.

“Damn! We didn’t even think you could sell at that price,” she said while her eyes raked all over my body with interest.

“Well, she sure does have it all.” She added after a while.

The three of them had some small talk before the two guards took their leave and left the both of us alone.

“Now let’s get to work on you little beauty!” She said while clapping excitedly.

I stood there, my mind empty as I watched her scurry around the room with a cart.

Eventually, after about thirty minutes, she made me strip and clothed me in a black dress that stopped at my thighs.

“I should use red for such an expensive price paid but your skin is so fair and I believe your master would appreciate that when he sees you in this dress…”

“And my underwear?” I asked, seeing as she tossed the pair into a bin.

I was completely bare under the dress which was uncomfortable in every way.

The dress had a snugging kind of material that glued to my skin and even though it was soft and easy on the skin, it was a lot better than everything I had worn since Uncle Daniel sold me here. It was still uncomfortable knowing that I was completely naked underneath my dress.

“Underwears? If your master wants you in those, he would make the arrangements. However, we do not send our women over in underwear.”

I squirmed under her gaze and summoned all the courage in me. “Please.”

My breasts weren’t huge but they were significant, with a dress like this, it was the same thing as just flashing myself in his face.

“Stacie, you are going to your master who will now own you, you better start preparing yourself now, otherwise, how are you supposed to please him if you aren’t comfortable with him looking at the goods he paid for?”

Without waiting for my reply, she pulled me to sit down in the makeup chair.

Thirty minutes and she had me all dolled up and looking even prettier than I did during our balls back at the pack.

At the thought of the life I had before this, tears pooled in my eyes and I forced them away by blinking.

Now wasn’t the time to be weak.

Madame Flare called the guards in and they led me down the hall and up the stairs to the VIP section.

Everywhere we passed, heads turned and I felt like every gaze was on my body. It was probably in my mind but I was more than certain of some more than others.

Eventually, we stopped in front of the door at the end of the hallways and the sweet fragrance I had smelled earlier wafted into my nose again.

If the two guards beside me smelled it, they showed no signs of it as they knocked on the door.

“Leave the girl and disappear from here.” A cold voice rang from inside and I felt goosebumps form on my exposed skin, which was a lot.

The two of them looked at each other and then as he ordered, took their leave.

Almost like the person inside could see everything happening outside, as soon as they left the corridor entirely, his voice rang out again.

“Come in.”
