"W-Why?" She managed to ask, "Why would it be a waste?" "Because....you, Anna. I don't think there'd be anyone like you on this earth." He muttered as he pulled the gun away from her face, dropping it back in it's former position. He closed his eyes, resting backwards, without a care in the world."I rarely sleep, Anna. And you woke me up from my light nap two days ago, because you wanted some nasty things done to you." He smirked, even without opening his eyes.Heat flooded her neck, reddening it as she stared at him. His eyes opened slowly, "I hope to you are fertile. You can't let that....waste." She didn't say a word, only stared at him as his eyes closed back and he tried to talk asleep. She bit her lips hardly, trying to stop the thoughts from crowding in, but they did and she succumbed to them.Her fingers moved as she pulled closer towards him. His eyes opened but he didn't move away when she touched his head and slightly pulled him towards her shoulder."My mum said I have
"Do you get that?" He asked her and she nodded her head slightly."Yes." She muttered."Good." He said and turned on his heels, walking out. Everyone else followed after him, leaving only Sandra."What got into him?" Sandra muttered. "Just....the dresses. Let's share them.""He agreed?" She asked."Not really. But...." Ann shrugged slightly as she got some of the clothes and walked to the people.Three minutes later and the place was already bubbling with laughter and noises filled with thanks here and there. Most of the children weren't able to get the clothes but they were mostly happy because of the future promises."Are you Lady Maren?" One of the women walked towards her and she looked as the others also inched closer."I heard you got married to Lord Xandros..He needs some light in his life. The old people says he's changed every since Lady Athena died so long ago." Another said. "But since you are here, it's better for him. Thank you so much.""I heard he has a breeder. That
Gaia turned backwards right in time to see daggers flying towards him...from Xandros's eyes."I think the pilots are waiting for us." He said and the girls looked back. The pilot was probably... Xandros.Anna saw his eyes hooked on her and she blinked slightly, gulping almost immediately.She immediately averted her gaze and turned towards the helicopter, rushing in quickly. The five minutes ride was quiet just like it had been in the car and for some reason she hated it. She preferred the air in the car when they first left Khaos. Where he had answered her questions, excluding the gun part. "I didn't mean to correct you or....change you. I was just worried. The people....they seem unfamiliar around you." She glanced at him. He didn't stir from his position when his head was backwards and his hands folded against his chest."I was thinking -""Are you apologizing or you are making excuses?" He asked, his eyes slowly opening and focused on her. She gulped lightly. "I wanted to corre
"Your new name is Athena."***"Go out there, like the good girls you are and dance. Well enough, to please the watchers. There are only two choices for you, dance well and get sold or be killed." They weren't empty threats. They had been trained, well fed and made beautiful over the past few months, so any girl who didn't fetch enough money for them would simply be discarded."If we are get lucky enough, we'll be chosen." Sandra said beside Anna said and Anna sighed.Lucky?Would being sold be called luck? In their world, yes."File out. Take your position at the poles." Candy fired another order at them and stopped in front of Anna, a grin on her face."You are one of the best, Anna, even though you are nothing but just an omega. I hope you get chosen though. Best of luck." She said."Thank you." Anna breathed out in nothing more than a whisper as she joined the queue, being the last on the line.She took a deep breath, the color of the club lights almost blinding, by the contrast t
"One million dollars." The room went quiet. No one would dare to raise the bar higher. Even if they did, Xandros would still get her. Knowing that she couldn't be sold to anyone else, he dropped the hanky and strode out casually of the place, his crew of members following him except his beta warrior.Candy's hand lowly fell on the wooden structure and the hit didn't sound as high anymore, "Sold." ****"Oh my God. Oh my God." A deep rumble resounded in her chest as she tried to keep her breath steady and cool. It wasn't working.Her legs moved her around faster, making her pace around the room in agitation."What is wrong with you!?" The door opened and Candy shot.Anna immediately rushed towards her, "You cannot sell me to him. Anyone else but not Lycan Xandros. Please...." Her voice cracked.Candy scoffed, "We don't have the power in our hands to choose who buys you or not. Lycan Xandros or anyone else, it all depends on their pockets. It's not my fault you had to dance when he ha
"What's going to happen because it seems to me that he hates her?" She managed to ask."I'm sorry, but Lycan Xandros is looking for something that can contain his bottled anger and I believe you are that tool who can help." "And in the process I'll be damaged," Anna couldn't help but say that."I care a lot less about what happens to you, because you have been bought. You are his property now, so focus on obeying his commands. I'll be back at morning time, so get lots of rest. It'll be helpful." Diane got out of the room, closing the door behind her. They didn't even lock the door, knowing that she couldn't make an attempt to escape. Anna walked to the window, her face pale, her eyes glassy as she stared across the wide span of land and the men who patrolled round it. CCTVs were everywhere and it would be a stupid action to do anything that could put her in trouble. She put her hand inside the black robe she had been given and fished out her phone, turning it on. They had a rule of
"Walk straight. Lift your head. Lift your chin. You belong to Lycan Xandros, you can't walk like a slave." It was the third day and yet Anna had not seen the man she belonged to. It seemed to be like he had forgotten about her but yet Diane was doing everything to make her look and act like the former Luna, Athena.With an heavy makeup that changed her from an omega to one high-class lady in the wolf world, she was now being trained on how to act like a queen.Would she be the Luna? She didn't know. But what she did know was that she had to look exactly like Athena for Xandros's anger to be poured on her. How much would Diane have to do before she could be enough?"Are you sleeping?" The hit of the fan snapped her back to reality and she immediately arched her back, standing straight.The plate on her shoulders tumbled and then fell to the ground. Three consecutive hits on her back and her teeth clenched tightly to stop the hissing that would have escaped from her lips."This is the
Her heart raced fast in her chest when she felt him stop in front of her, his scent filling her senses. She couldn't breath normally with him so close to her."Could you die?" He suddenly asked and her eyes went up in a jiffy. He didn't bring her here to kill her, did he? Even if he didn't want her, he could keep her for the sake of his money."Wh-what?" She stuttered, her voice breaking."You are mine, Anna. If I asked you to die, would you die?" He asked and slowly, the cold metal of the gun traced her chin again and he tapped twice. She raised her head to the darkness, only his blue eyes proved as light and it was so so dark in it. The cold barrel made its way to her lips and he pushed it in slowly, making her hold it between her lips."Can I pull the trigger?" He asked and let out a cold chuckle, that sounded more animalistic than humanly. She couldn't even speak and if she did speak, what assurance was there that he would listen to her? It was a zero percent failure and she coul

The date for the check up finally came and Anna dressed up quickly, while the make up artist applied light makeup for her. "You look really pretty." She complimented after the session and Anna smiled. "Thank you." She whispered."Anna, come down." Diane's voice from outside made her quickly slip her shoes on and she walked out of the room."Sandra." She called in surprise, seeing Sandra outside. Sandra smiled with a wink."I'm one of your escorts." She mouthed to Anna and Anna smiled in reply. "Okay, fine." Diane clapped her hands to catch attention. "We wouldn't want to be late. Uhhmm, Anna, go to the car. You and Lord Xandros would ride together. After the checkup, he'll be meeting with the alpha's of each pack and you'll accompany him. Okay?" She asked and Anna nodded as she walked out, not before glancing at Sandra."Sandra!" Diane called with a shout. "Yes, Diane." Sandra immediately turned to her."As you can see, Sandra. You are....a very.... outgoing and characteristic per
"I...was making some dresses with Sandra. I heard I'll be going for the packs check up soon." She replied, her head getting out of her fuzzy thoughts."How do you feel about going for it?" He asked and she bit her inner lips."I feel it'll be nice to know the packs and since I've been in here every -""I told you not to lie to me, Anna." He seemed displeased as he walked down the stairs. She moved back instinctively by a step. "You should be transparent." "I really...." She trailed off when his eyes got darker with anger. "have no choice. Lady Maren asked me to go in her stead. It's nice but...not in this way." She said... truthfully."So you are not interested in going." He said."No. I am. If only they'd have a good perception of me.""They should. Only people in Khaos and Candy knows what..." He stopped, staring at her hands hooked between each other. "Your hands. Spread them wide." He said.Anna raised her hands and opened them, tiny pricks of blood coming out. "It's better than
"Aah," Sandra let out lazy yawn as she hit her head on the table loudly, "I'm so freaking tired. All my body hurts from sitting in one position all day. Hmmm? Anna. Look at my beautiful fingers, they are all destroyed." She muttered, flexing her fingers in front of Anna."I didn't believe you would stab yourself so many times." Anna cocked her head lightly as she stared at Sandra."It's not my fault that the needle is so sharp and long. Athena must be a perfect tailor. The dresses, I could die for them." Anna pressed her lips tightly as she looked at the dresses on the mannequins, they were so perfect. Sandra was right, Athena must really be great. She smiled lightly.Sandra stood up, hearing a crack in her back and her neck as she flexed it. "Better. It would be nice to have a run in the forest right now." "There's one place Athena really likes..." Oops, maybe she shouldn't have said that. "Really? Where?" Sandra asked as she jumped, raising her hands up and down. She'd call that e
Anna stared at the pink dress meant to simplify her. She clicked her tongue slightly as took in a deep breath. She was in big trouble with Diane. Levi better not contact her again, Goddess knows if he did, she was going to find him and kill him. In her head. But really if she gets her hands on him, he'd regret ever trying to destroy the last strand of her life. The next morning, Anna got up a little too early. She sat on her bed, facing the window and watched the sun rise. Soon, whispers cracked into the wall like a spreading virus and spread throughout the room. It was a symbol that many people were awake already.She quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom, a realization that her legs were no more hurting like they did last night any longer.Even better. She quickly had her bath, packed her hair in a bun as she stared at herself in the mirror and then she picked the book of witches and let out a breezy sigh as she muttered, "Let's make today worthwhile." She whispered.With that
Anna stared at Willa with something deep, almost hatred. Suddenly, she banged the door close right on the girl's face, locking it behind her. She took in a deep breath, anger bristling under her skin like lave, ready to erupt, but she had no choice. She just had to do it. Why....oh goddess, she laid her back on the bed as she stared at her phone. Nothing, no messages. Nothing. To think that the only number she'd had on her phone was Sandra's, Candy's and unknown numbers she didn't save but knew was from Levi. She took a deep breath. In this large world, she was practically alone. ****"What do you mean?" Xandros glared at Gaia with sharp eyes. He seemed angry as he dropped the black file on the table."I don't have to do this. The packs are fine.""You have to check up on them. You used to do it easily all the time.""That. Time. Because Athena was there." Xandros's voice took an angrier turn as he pushed the file towards Gaia."I make sure they have everythi
"You should read more often." He said as he pressed the button and the door click resounded. He gave her a final glance as he walked out of the place, leaving her in there. Anna stayed quietly for a moment, her eyes staring at the wide open book. She didn't even make it through the first paragraph. A shudder rushed down her spine, s reminder of what had just happened here few minutes ago. A salty taste remained in her mouth and a clean view of where she'd licked on the table.She bit her lips, the urge to bite down on her own self. She had been really stupid. Stepping in here and letting him...no, wanting it. She wasn't supposed to. He could never belong to her. Xandros was not meant to be hers. He was married, a marriage of convenience, yes. But still.A tear rushed down her spine and she finally broke down, her body shaking violently as tears escaped her eyes. She was crying... because she knew they could never be more than this. Just this. He could never see as something else....a
