To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan 0001: The Slave
MERIDA " Meridaaaaa!!!" Someone yelled my name from upstairs and I gave a silent groan as my head pounded not from the scream but from lack of sleep and hunger." Where is that ostrich called Merida?" The voice said again as I struggled to my feet and my stomach rumbled.I didn't need a seer to tell me who it was. It was no other person but my Aunt Ophelia. I could hear her loud footsteps coming down the stairs. Just as I tried to steady myself, I fell back on the box I had been sitting on. " Goodness me." She gasped." I just hope I'm blind and not seeing you sitting like the mate to a powerful Alpha."she said to me. I opened my mouth to say something and only air poured out and, before I could blink, her hands flew through the air and made slices of slaps on my cheeks, sending me reeling backwards."What have you been doing here? You have been busy doing nothing, I guess." She said again to me and I kept mute. Enough experience had told me that trying to defend myself would only

MERIDAMy eyes were spinning in my head, and they dropped on my feet.My tongue felt so limp and dry that I couldn't utter a single word.Shhhh, I said to myself.Don't say a word. Don't even breathe. I could feel the hot intensity of their eyes, I was almost burning under their gaze and I wished the ground would open and swallow me up. My cheeks were burning up, already turning red with embarrassment and I felt so scared I could feel the Alpha's eyes on me. "Why did you do it?"he asked suddenly, making me glance up and look away quickly. He sat back on the chair and gulped down the contents in the tumbler and set it back on the table."It was my birthday. My sixth birthday party." I forced myself to speak." I wanted to give my parents a treat, so I added the Nightshade fern.""The Nightshade fern is of two types," Alpha Lukan said, rubbing his jaw slightly."the one with green leaves is extinct now, and I presume you are speaking about the one with blue petals."Aunt Ophelia and her

LUKAN" So she is the 13th bride, yeah?" Dean asked as the Mercedes-Benz glided towards the pack." I forgot she is the 15th and not a bride, right?" Dean asked again but got no response from me.I have so many things to think of than to give him a reply.From my mind's eyes I could envision a sly smile creeping up his lips." Be quiet Dean." Lemuel shushed him in a small voice."I was just thinking aloud, that's all." Dean continued, and my face turned red. "I'll be forced to clip your lips together." I said to him, my voice kind of low as the car pulled up in front of the Packhouse of Frostclaw Ever since I had met her, something had gone off in me, not that she was the first woman I met or more beautiful than the others, but there was something different about her which I just couldn't place.The connection was just too strong. Dean was so correct. She was the 15th girl I met and deep down I was kind of anxious. I was hoping that she would be The One whom I have been searching fo

LUKAN" Oh, I'm so sorry." Rosita said quickly, composing herself and looking kind of embarrassed." I was kind of lost in thought."" Fine if you say so." I replied, not wanting to push it, but I knew I saw a kind of recognition in her eyes. I was staring at Merida, it was now that I looked at her. She was probably thinner and looking frail than before, and she was always trying to avoid my gaze."You have to take her measurement Rosita for her new dresses."" Yes, Alpha Lukan," Rosita replied and proceeded to take Merida's measurement, who was looking kind of frightened. I peered at her, and it seemed there were a lot of things she wanted to say. "What is it, Merida? Speak." Merida shook her head."No, it's nothing."I stared at her for a while, living with her aunt and uncle must have molded her into someone who is silently headstrong and stubborn."If you have something to say, then spill it out, don't get me angry. As my mate, you should learn to be outspoken, and also I will m

MERIDA"I don't know anything about the Nightshade fern,"I said in a very small voice hesitantly. He was staring at me now, and I could see a glint of concern in his eyes. The way he had shouted minutes ago proved just one thing. It meant that he cared about me.This was the first time anyone was going to show me so much care. " I thought you knew the difference between both flowers, though they kind of look alike."" I- I don't know," I stammered.He exhaled." But your aunt and uncle said you knew the difference, like I explained before, the Nightshade fern is of two types. The first is extinct and the one they said you added to your parents' drink is very difficult to find. But I know that something about the story isn't adding up."I glanced up at him as he continued."Your fingers are supposed to be stained if indeed you pluck one of the flowers."" Oh." That was the only thing I could say. " I will make them pay for making you suffer." He said to me and walked through the wind

LUKAN"What do you mean by her injuries won't heal easily."I said bursting into the room and from the corner of my eyes I could see Merida flinched.My fist rolled into a ball by my sides and my eyes were blazing. I was so angry that I was even surprised. This was the kind of anger that came because one cared so much about someone.I shook my head , I was only doing it because I felt pity towards her, I said to myself.Julietta's head shot up quickly and she gave me a sidelong look which I recognized immediately and turned away. I knew something terrible was going on."You will have to apply the Willows Tears on the injury." She said in a very small voice her eyes fixed on mine as she walked to her desk." Come Merida, let me take you upstairs." I said, taking her hand .Upstairs in our bedroom ,I made her lift her shirt up and unscrewed the small bottle , the greenish paste-like substance stared back at me, it had no smell .I scoped just a little amount and placed it on the injury

CHAPTER 7MERIDAI watched him as he walked out of the room with an air of a nonchalant attitude around him. He was the Alpha so what was I even expecting from him. Rosita felt hurt by his words but I guess she was already used to it. I felt so small that I wanted to sink. I never expected him to speak that way. Well he was funny actually for me to get along with him I have to do my very best not to get him angry. I was still staring at the door when Rosita called my attention. "Do you want me to escort you to the dinning?"she asked and I blinked several times to understand what she was saying. Back home at Frostclaw pack, no one escorted me anywhere except when I was about to be given some lashes. I could count how many times I ate in a week.she must have seen how surprised and flushed my cheeks were and she smiled at me. "I can show you to the dining room if you don't want me to go with you." Rosita said again in a very small voice.I struggled to my feet and managed a smile

MERIDAIt was the singing of the birds and the harsh sun rays that woke me up.I couldn't even remember how long I had slept or when I had slept off. I stirred , turning to the other side of the bed suddenly feeling so cold .I grabbed the duvet and pulled it over my head , trying to go back to sleep. My stomach rumbled , reminding me how little I had eaten last night and I almost cried out, the hunger that was chewing at the other side of my stomach grew more teeth and increased its tempo.Just then I suddenly sat quickly as if pricked by a needle I broke out in cold sweat. Aunt Ophelia....I said to myself , my eyes darted around the room and for a moment I forgot that I was no longer in Frostclaw pack.I was somewhere , safe somewhere where no harm could get to me and where I could no longer be reminded of how unworthy and useless I was.I slapped my temple softly and exhaled in relief."You are up so early."I heard a voice say and I quickly turned to find Alpha Lukan standing b

ELIZABETHThe room was filled with flickering shadows as the fire in the hearth cracked. As Merida tried processed everything I had said.Her eyes widened and her face went pale as I sat across from her. This was more than just her past it was the reality that had strapped my soul together for years. "You deserve to know everything Merida. . But its difficult to hear what Im about to tell you." I said my voice trembling a little, as I looked around the room ,at everyone listening to me.Julietta handed her a mug of tea and she nodded while her fingers clenched around it. The tone of as "Your parents Naomi and Nathaniel were the most honorable wolves I ever knew." I said my voice was so sorrowful"The love they had for you and your sister , Nahla was greater than life itself. Bit love was insufficient to shield them from the packs evil. "Merida opened her mouth to speak but she remained silent. "There was a struggle for power ."I added. “Some believed Naomi’s bloodline was too
To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan Chapter 94: The Flashback
ELIZABETH 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌I remembered the night of Lukan and Nahla's bonding ceremony clearly as if it had been burned into my soul. Deep crimson and royal gold colours which stand for strength and unity were used to decorate the grand hall. Music, laughter and the lovely scent of roses in bloom filled the air. In order to witness the ceremony that would bring two influential families together, every member of the pack was present and dressed to the nines. Lukan was a commanding presence in the middle of the room, his dark eyes searching the crowd for Nahla. A silence descended upon the hall as she eventually emerged. Nahla's smile was more brilliant than the chandeliers above and her silvery gown shone like moonlight. It was a hopeful smile that offered joy for the years ahead. My sense of obligation to them as their aunt had always been very strong. I made sure everything went according to plan . Bit something about that evening seemed strange, that I couldn't place my

ELIZABETH I could remember vividly when I was a little girl,our family had long held dinner as a sacred ritual a time to forget about problems and just spend time together. Tonight Julietta insisted reminded me of that.The table was exquisitely arranged with candles illuminating the food spread. Lukan sat next to Merida and they occasionally smiled as though they were trying to reassure one another. Nahla sat beside me, she had a small smile on her lips but her eyes betrayed everything as she kept stealing glances at Lukan.I sighed, we had discussed about this before coming here today, I can't blame her though. She was still in love with him. Always the gracious hostess Julietta clapped her hands together. "All right everyone start eating! Dean dont argue over the mashed potatoes. " In mock indignation Dean gasped. "Just once ,Mother ! Just once and I'm permanently branded. " T

MERIDAThe warmth of Lukan's hand in mine brought back to reality . I looked up into his delicate grey eyes which were filled with so much emotions that mirrored mine. He ran his thumb over my knuckles and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. "Merida I need you to listen to me." He said, his voice was steady and low I nodded for him to go on as I swallowed the lump in my throat. "You're mine Merida." He stated firmly but there was a tenderness in his voice that soothed my jangled nerves. "You will always be my mate regardless of what happens or what you may believe. It won't change anything. " I didn't realize the cracks in my heart were being filled with emotions until his words swept over me. All of my uncertainties, anxieties and confusion seemed to vanish for a moment as the weight of his words struck me. “I…” I tried to say something but

MERIDAI sat in the grand halls, my heart racing as I tried to understand what had just happened . Everything was just too much for me. Questions spiralling in my head . That woman who had suddenly reappeared today of all days on my birthday. My twin sister. Someone I barely remembered. To worsen the situation she was *Lukans first love*. I replayed the scene which happened minutes ago over and over again as my hands balled into fists and my nails digging into my palms. I still remembered Lukan's expression. His face and eyes softening as he gaze at her like one of the wonders of the world. Had he ever looked at me like that ? Is he still in love with her ? Now she was back what will happen to me ? Will he still love me just the same way ?This and many other questions ran through my head as tears threatened to spill.“Merida. . . The sound of his voice jolted me out of my thoughts. His

LUKAN Lemuel's words were still ringing in my ears as I gazed at him. It was unbelievable. I blinked severally maybe it was one of his sick jokes but it wasn't.I turned to Merida."Let’s go." I said in in a more steady voice than I actually felt. We got up from the dining table and made our way to the living room after Merida gave a silent nod. I felt like a something had gone off when I saw what was waiting for us. The room was filled with — Nahla Lemuel wasn't jokingShe was not alone, she was with someone else and she was alive—miraculously impossible alive. The woman stabding next to her recognized me to , I exhaled and looked away.A mixture of emotions made my chest tightened that I didn't know what to feel.My gaze swiftly returned to Nahla as she rushed st me, her arms circling me in a fierce tear bear hug.I closed my eyes allowing the moment to pass. We all thought the past was gone but she was here and happiness surged through me.and the memories of our time toget

MERIDA Despite the thick blankets I had wrapped around myself the cold was still in the room when I woke up and getting into my skin. Even with the heating on, the morning air still had an icy bite to it as winter quickly approached. Instinctively I reached out to feel Lukans warmth but my hand found a cold empty sheet instead. . . My heart skipped a beat. . . Lukan? I yelled softly my voice heavy with sleep.. There was no answer. I sat up massaging my arms to produce heat. There was a spooky silence in the room the kind that made me uneasy. His habit of leaving without saying anything was unusual. Still struggling with the uneasiness that was tearing at my chest I slipped my feet into my slippers and put on a cardigan. As I left our room I had the feeling that the house was empty. The corridors were deserted and the dim winter sunlight streaming in through the windows cast shadows on the floor. Though there were traces of last nights celebrations in the air like the faint scen

MERIDA I stood at the balcony of our room, the sky was without a moon tonight but I wasn't thinking about how beautiful the night was or about Lemuel because it made me feel sad. My mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about something entirely different. In this room, my thoughts and my world were centered around him. Lukan I was thinking about us. But Lukan's calming voice brought me back. "You've been looking out there for some time. What's on your mind?" I looked over and saw him standing by the door, his tie loose and shirt unbuttoned a bit. A wife smile on his thin sensual lips that made me want to kiss him. He appeared like the perfect dream I never thought could come true. There was a way he looked like me. Like I was the most important person in the world. "I was ... thinking about something. About us." I said in a small voice which was barely above a whisper. "I love talking about 'us'," he said, moving closer. "It's what I enjoy the most." I grinned, and h

MERIDAThe waves crashing against the shore was just a beautiful sight to behold. The sun was already going down in the horizon and the orange glow was pretty to watch, but nothing could beat the feeling of Lukan holding me close. That tender feeling of love made my heart soar.We had spent the evening laughing and walking around the beach and at some point he wanted us to dive in and swim but I suck at swimming and i had laughed."I wish we could stay like this forever." I whispered feeling the cool breeze brush past my cheeks as I rested my head on his shoulders."Me too." He agreed with a low, relaxed voice." To stay here for eternity." I smiled when I thought about it. "I feel the same way." Everything stopped for a moment, and it felt like time stood still. The gentle smell of salt and hope for the future was brought by the sea breeze, the waves crashing softly making a second that matched our heartbeat." Time wasn't important in this place. It was only us, the sea, and the
