Xenia has always tried to be the perfect daughter. All her life, she's been good, non rebellious, obedient. Even when her parents kept treating her like an outcast over her sister because she was born wolfless. Never for once did she deviate from being the good little daughter. UNTIL her own parents sold her off to an Alpha who was crippled. That was when she realized that being good surely wouldn't pay her and she's ready to do anything she can - to get out of this stupid arrangement. Even if it means paying a stranger she met in a dirty bar to take her virginity. Isn't it a taboo for the Alpha to marry a non virgin? For all it's worth, she taught she definitely won. But then her father introduces the Alpha in a wheel chair and when she turns ready to blurt out that she's no virgin - SHOCK FROZE HER FEET TO THE FLOOR. Because sitting in that wheel chair was the same man who she had spent the night before with.

Just maybe.“No-no i am sorry but that is not…”“Are you drunk?” He leaned closer as if to perceive my breath and I frowned.“I can assure you that I am of sound mind and -” I stopped and blushed in shame.Goddess above what on earth was I doing?Is this really how bad I had fallen?“Don't worry.” I whispered, “I am sorry for being so rude.”I stood up from the chair. Best that I just accept my fate.But before I could turn to leave the man grabbed my arm and stopped me in my tracks, “Wait!”I did, heart racing so wildly in my chest.‘Tell me why you want to do this.”I took a deep breath, “My father has arranged for me to marry a stranger and… I just want to do something out of my own will before I throw my freedom away forever.”He had a contemplative look on his face as he stared at me then nodded, “Fine. Come on - i
I froze, my heart beating against my chest wildly because surely he had to be joking.Surely I heard him wrong.There's no way…there's no way on earth that my father would sell me off to a stranger for money like I was some sort of commodity. My own father.‘What?” I gasped, unable to form anymore coherent thoughts. This had to be a nightmare. It better be a nightmare.“You are finally getting an opportunity to become useful to the community, Xenia. You should be grateful.”His words were like a slice of a blade into my heart.Grateful?I had to be grateful that I was being sold off?“Besides, he is an Alpha which means you are going to be a Luna. A blessing we were expecting to fall on you.”A blessing?Tears burned my eyes and I felt rage building up in me as I looked at my father. MY father.“When he said your daughter - did you for once think of handing lyra over ?” I asked my voice calm, “Of course you didn't. Even though she was the only one worthy to be called your daughter. Bu
Invisible.That was one word that relates with me the most these days, a word that best describes my life.And invisible was exactly how I felt as I sat by the window of my room, staring down at my family gathered in the courtyard below.And that feeling of not been seen dwelled on as I watched them fawn over my sister, who was covered in sweat and dust from sparring with a guard.A sigh escaped my lips, when my mum drew her in for a hug, not minding that the dust and sweat might stain her elegant white gown.I drew the curtains closed, shielding myself from the sight that never failed to prick at my heart.One would think that I'd be used to it by now.It's been five years since the local Mage confirmed my parents' worst fear - that I was born powerless.Five years since my parents all but abandoned me. Five years of them treating me like an outcast.Five years of being relegated to the sidelines, the shadows and watching my sister bask in a spotlight.But even though it's been long,
