Auctioned Off

Dina's POV:

Standing naked in front of a hundred men alongside other ladies on the stage, my heart kept racing, about to explode at any moment.

I have been a strip dancer in one of the most popular clubs, dancing almost naked in front of thousands of men without shame, but I feel different now.

Pain and regret washed over me.

I did not know the exact reason I am regretting being here, but I felt pain in my chest. The thought of how my mother was going to survive without me made tears pour down my cheeks.

“The auction of these beautiful ladies begins now,” the host, who is in her mid-thirties, announced.

She walked up to us before she began.

“We have seven girls to auction off at this event tonight,” her words attracted noises from the men who were staring at us with lust and an urge of how they can't wait to have us, reflected on their faces.

The host began introducing, starting with the first lady on her left. “This is item number one, she is a medical student and a twenty-two-year-old lady.”

“Auctioning of Item number one would begin from a thousand dollars,” she said, pressing a button on a machine which is unknown to me.

“I am bidding 1500 dollars.”

“I am bidding 1550 dollars.”

“I am bidding 3000 dollars.”

The room went silent at the sudden rise of the bidding. There was a long while of silence, no one wanting to bid higher than that amount.

“Anyone want to bid higher than 3000 dollars?” the host asked, her gaze focused on the men.

Seeing that no one was raising their light stick, she concluded, hitting the hammer on the desk. “Item number one successfully bidded for 3000 dollars by number 60.”

I tried to concentrate on the bidding event, but I couldn't help but think of how worried my mother would be.

I have never stayed out this long.

“And we have the last item here, item number seven,” the host voiced out, standing in front of me.

Knowing it was my turn, I snapped out of my thoughts. Right now, what I want is to get the hell out of here and run away.

I desperately want to go back home.

“Item number seven is special,” the host made me almost chuckle, trying to place what she meant by being special. “She is a virgin and has fine skin without any scars.”

My gaze darkened at her words, my both hands covering my private area.

Even though this isn't the first time standing almost naked in front of men, I felt uncomfortable.

“Auctioning of Item number seven would begin from five thousand dollars,” she announced, making the men gasp in the hall.

I don't know what made the host auction me off for such a high amount compared to the other six ladies, but I felt like there is more to it.

“I am bidding 6000 dollars.”

“I am bidding 10000 dollars.”

“I am bidding 15000 dollars.”

“I am bidding 20000 dollars.”

Two men whose light stick numbers are 1 and 50, kept increasing the bidding ridiculously high as if they were challenging each other.

The bid went on until number 50 raised the amount to 50,000 dollars, making everyone's jaw drop, including mine.

Of course, no one would want to raise the amount. 50000 is enough to buy a small apartment… Why waste it on a virgin who has given the best blowjob and has swayed every part of her body in front of thousands of men at popular clubs?

“I am bidding five hundred thousand dollars!”

A cold voice echoed from the middle of the crowd, making everyone gasp. There is no way the bidder meant that amount he called.

Maybe he must have made a mistake.

“Number 100, are you sure you want to bid five hundred thousand dollars on item number seven?” The host asked, making the room go silent, everyone anticipated the man's response.

“I am bidding five hundred thousand dollars!” His voice echoed, his response the same as earlier. This time, it was loud and clear.

Instead of feeling excited that someone sees me as someone worth five hundred thousand dollars, I felt miserable.

LYKOZ POV:

I don't know what led me into the auctioning room, either my instinct or the strange scent I perceived. I just let whatever it was lead me.

My beta, Beta Zach, got me the event card before it started, and thanks to that I am able to bid on the human girl who kept making my wolf go crazy.

The moment my eyes landed on her, I felt something ignited in me. Something I never knew existed.

“Jules, she isn't our mate and we aren't in the werewolf realm. Behave yourself,” I muttered, unable to control the craziness of my wolf.

“She is the one. She is our mate who we have been finding for the past three decades,” my mate growled with certainty.

“She isn't our mate! There is no way the moon goddess would pair me, Alpha Lykoz of the south, with a human girl! The weakest of all creatures and our enemy!”

“My Alpha, I don't think this is the right place for you and your wolf to communicate. Those worthless humans might find you ridiculous,” My beta's voice snapped me out.
