Chapter 2

Hayley's POV

Standing in front of our door was a man dressed in an expensive suit, his hair was also neatly combed. He wore dark sunglasses.

"Miss Miley?" He requested with a stoic look on his face.

I was about to say something but my mother beat me to it and yelled.

"There she is…" the man snapped his gaze at me and I quickly shook my head.

"No, no. I'm not Miley. Please don't take me away.." I pleaded and his brows furrowed.

"Don't listen to her!!" My mother stated as she charged at me.

"How can you be so thoughtless.." she yelled, slapping me right across the face.

"I've done everything for you Miley.Everything and anything I could to make you happy. Is this how you're going to repay me?" She asked glaring dangerously at me.

Then she yanked my arm and pulled me closer.

"Don't try anything stupid. Hayley. Just go with him.." she whispered to my ears but I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Please don't mind her…." My mother chuckled sheepishly as she turned to face the man who was still standing by the door. 

"Yes, yes. Please don't mind her.." my father rejoined.

"Miley is very stubborn, just take her with you. I'm sure you don't want to keep the Alpha waiting…" he urged the man who turned to face me. Then he began to walk towards me.

I wanted to run away but my mother grabbed my hand stopping me from going anywhere.

"Just stay still Hayley and stop being so selfish.." she said. My own mother calling me selfish hurt me so much. The truth was that she was the selfish one here.

She acted only nice to Miley and was making me suffer for her sin. I have nothing to do with all of these. I was innocent.

"Please be cooperative, Miss Miley. So we won't take this the hard way. Someone has to pay up your father's debt.." he said and my mother handed me over to him.

I kept struggling and crying but my parents watched me being whisked away with a passive look on their faces. It seemed as if they did not care one bit about me.

-

I was taken to the palace and then kept in a room where I was told to wait for the Alpha.

I couldn't cry out for help as my mouth was gagged. The man who came to pick me up complained that I was speaking too much and did that to shut me up.

I was still sobbing silently when the door sprang open.

"Where's she?" I heard someone ask and I quickly raised my head up. My hands and legs were tied up so I couldn't do anything but cry.

"She's on the bed…" Another voice replied and two men came into view. Two extremely breathtaking men. They were the most handsome men I had ever set my eyes on. Especially the one that was black-haired. His ocean eyes were very breathtaking and he excluded this charisma that seemed attractive.

"There she is," the other one replied.

"Why isn't she ready yet? Charlie?" Mr ocean's eyes asked with a frown on his face.

"She was just brought in and Lucas told me that she had been throwing a tantrum." Charlie reported.

"I see." the other man shook his head and he suddenly walked to where I was.

I mumbled struggling to set free when he grabbed my chin roughly tilting my head to face him.

"Now look. Whatever your name is, don't try to act smart with me. You do whatever I say." he warned in a menacing tone that sent chills down my spine.

I slowly shook my head and then he removed his hands from my face roughly.

"Good…" he stepped away from me as I began to breathe deeply.

What have I gotten myself into? My parents sold me off to an ugly beast and now this? I didn't even know who he was.

I was whimpering in fear when a lady walked in.

"Alpha Enid, the elders are waiting in the hall.." she announced and I stilled.

Did he just say, Alpha Enid? I kept glancing repeatedly at the man standing not too far away from me and realization dawned on me.

He was the Alpha but he was not ugly though the part of him being a beast was true.

He had the kind of face that made people stop and stare. It was a face that was striking, but not in the way that a movie star's face is striking. There was something raw and untamed about it, something that seemed to say, 'I'm not like everyone else.' His features were strong.

He held a cold demeanor and was definitely not an approachable person. And his eyes...Well, they were the most captivating part of all. His ocean eyes were incredibly beautiful.

"There she is, dress her up…" he pointed at me and I wondered what he was talking about.

"On it. Your highness.." the lady bowed and she walked into the room and began to untie me.

Immediately she removed all the restraints holding me back, I began to plead for Mercy.

"Please let me go.." I begged and ran straight out of the bed.

"Just let me go please " I cried helplessly.

"Have you lost it?" I heard Enid ask with an annoyed look on his face.

"I don't have all day to keep up with your drama. I’m not in the best mood either. Don't let me take it out on you." he warned pointing his fingers at me. 

"But why are you doing this?" I questioned as I had no idea about what was going on.

Why did the Alpha even need a pauper when he could easily pick from one of those rich women?

"I see you still don't get it." he began.

"We're getting married." he announced in a firm and cold voice as I froze on the spot.
