Chapter Three

“What's going on?” I approached them. I could feel goosebumps riding across my arm as I did. Something was not right, but I couldn't place my finger exactly where it didn't. 

My father had a deep rooted blank stare in his eyes as he silently pushed a scroll towards me without a word. I reluctantly took it and after a few seconds of reading the contents, I heard my own heart plumet down; completely down my chest. 

I felt all the blood in my face drain as I read the contract papers over and over again in my head until I grew sick with fear and disgust. The words seemed to blur before my eyes as my mind struggled to process the magnitude of what I had just read, my thoughts racing. 

"No." Mustering all the willpower in me, I faced the Alpha, his Luna and the elder council as I said, not even flinching under their hard, cold glares. "I'm not doing It.”

“Father you can't do this to me!” 

“It's already been signed. This was agreed upon by I and the council of elders long ago, even before today. You cannot refuse now. You don't have a choice in this. You've been chosen to bear the Lycan's heir. It's a grand opportunity to be able to rule by the Lycan's side. A chance many other she wolves would have.”

“No It's not. The Lycan is said to be a blood thirsty man who drives joy in only Killing and pleasure. There is no way he sought after an heir bearer and saw me of all people. He will kill me father.” I tried hard to hold the tears but they kept flowing down. I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest, my vision glazed over and the papers dropped from my hands. 

I had been sold to the Lycan King as his breeder. Not even a wife or a concubine, a breeder. I couldn't imagine what would become of me If he got his hand on me. 

I glanced around, the elders had grave expressions on their faces, but no one offered to say anything. My step mother was anything but against the idea. Infact, she looked pleased at the thought of the Lycan using only his bare hands to crush my head the moment he had the chance. 

“His men are already on their way to take you. You cannot object the Lycan's decision or you know the consequences of what will happen.” My father's voice was cold as he growled threateningly at me, already up on his feet and staring dead into my eyes. 

I had hated my father. More or less, I usually felt disappointed or just sad that he didn't love me as much as he loved my step sister. He always blamed my birth for the death of my mother, his first love, but I wondered how long he was willing to hate his own flesh and blood. Turns out, 20 years later, even after everything I've done just to make him proud, he still held that hate for me. 

So many thoughts filled my head, so many pieces started coming together. They had all planned this even before today. While I worked my butt off training and studying hard to impress my father and earn my well deserved spot as the first Female Alpha of Lion heart's pack, they had gone ahead to sell me to the Lycan as his breeder. 

Lycan Daniel was anything but a good person. No, he wasn't bad, he was evil, and he was strong. Infact too strong that the only reasonable thing to do was to run away, because I could not face that monster that treated women like objects. 

Without a word to my father, I turned, intending to run for my life without looking back, but upon meeting with two pack guards, large and burly frames standing before me, it was then I realized they meant business. 

“Move.” I growl at them, but they barely bugded. 

“Be patient, Abigail. The men would be arriving in a few minutes. “ Jessica snarled smilingly. 

“What If I don't want to go. I'm a living being as well, not some object to be traded for money.” I faced my father and the elders. I could take down the men Infront of me, and they knew, but could I really be able to fight against the whole pack? 

Because I knew they would do everything within their power to ensure I stayed. It was going to be me against the whole pack. A loosing game. 

“The Lycan would not hurt his breeder. You're safe, child. You only need to do what's required of you.” An elder answered and I felt my heart grow heavy in anger. 

The crushing news rippled through her body like a wave of cold fear. The words seemed to echo in her mind, each one a dagger in her heart. "Sold? To the Lycan King? By my own father?" I gasped, my voice shaking with disbelief. I still couldn't believe it

The floor beneath my feet seemed to crumble as the realization of my fate sank in. Desperation washed over me, and I fell to my knees, crawling to my father with tears streaming down my cheeks. "Please, I beg of you, don't do this! Not to me, not to your own daughter!” 

I choked back a sob, my heart plummeting in my chest. "I'll do anything, just please, reconsider! You can't just hand me over to him like I'm some sort of object. I have rights to deny this! Please! He will kill me!” 

I reached out a trembling hand, desperate for some sign of mercy. "I'm your daughter, your flesh and blood. Don't you love me? Don't you care what happens to me?”

However, to my soul crushing dismay, he barely paid me heed as the pack guards forcefully picked me up from the floor and dragged me away from the room. 

With tears streaked face, I stared at my father in disbelief and a broken heart. 

They would regret this. I'm the future, I'll make their life so miserable, they would look back to this day and wish they had not done this. 

With my teeth grinding down in anger, I waited till the men arrived and just like that, I was whisked away into their car and before their very eyes, I watched a large vehicle tow into the compound with several bags of money stacked inside. 

My parents- no one paid heed to the car taking me away as their eyes all fixed towards the vehicle filled with money. 

To think my father had never regarded me as a daughter of his and the moment he got the chance to sell me off for money, he suddenly remembered I was his daughter and he could trade me off. 

Whereas Jedidiah was made Alpha. Not only did she steal my position, but she also stole my mate. I had nothing but death awaiting me. 

Several hours later, we arrived at the Lycan's kingdom. He owned the largest territory in the whole world and with impeccable strength, he ruled his world with an iron fist. The being was unstoppable and he knew it. 

No one barely spoke a word to be, I was just taken to a room where two Omega's in uniform were. It looked like they had been waiting for me. Under the orders of the man who had driven me here, they quickly changed me out of my outfit, washed me up, put me in a skimpy night gown, fixed my hair and makeup and ardoned me with nice scenting perfumes. 

The entire time, I felt my throat clogged. I couldn't speak, yet there was so much I wanted to say. 

“The Lycan will see you now.” 

The moment I stepped into the room, shutting the door behind me, my eyes landed on the tall burly man standing in the room, just beside the bed. 

Only from the door, I could feel his protruding spine chilling aura where he stood. He was shirtless with only a towel wrapped around his narrow waist. 

The moment he turned and met my eyes, I froze, seeing him, his dark blue eyes piercing right into mine. 

“Strip. Now.” His voice was cold and spine chilling.
