Chapter 2 Her life

The Cougar emperor sat on the council with his five subordinates and discussed the next Cougar auction which happens every last day of every three months. On that day, the Emperor selects the best of the Cougars and auctions them out to influential young men from different kingdoms and the highest bidder of the day goes home with the cougar of his choice. 

“We have never brought out our dog for auction, don't you all think we should try it this time, she will attract a lot of eyes and they might be interested to know why she’s so pricey” One of the subordinates suggested, 

“Are you suggesting we sell Cougar's most treasured asset?!” The emperor questioned, his voice sounding annoyed

“I don't think we should sell our money-making machine” Another subordinate suggested

“How about this, on that day we will bring her out but with her cage and the cage will be covered with a huge sackcloth, and that way the young men will all be interested to see what's covered, and when they ask we will tell them all that inside that cage lies Cougar’s most treasured asset of all time and if anybody wants to have a glimpse of her then the person must be the highest bidder

“That’s quite an impressive Idea” The Emperor smiled from his throne, caressing his bears 

“I can feel that the Cougar auction of this time is going to be one of a kind, we have raised quite a lot of submissive cougars and these young men would be thirsty for them all” One of the subordinates muttered happily

“None of them can beat her, our treasured asset, let's drink to more money and merriment” The Emperor raised a toast as they all lifted their wine glasses and clicked it together before they began to sip from it.

Back at the Cougar quarters, the selected cougars for the auction were so happy, they could not wait to leave the Cougar Empire and belong to only one person. News has it that once a person steps into the Cougar Empire that person never makes it out again, until a miracle like the Cougar auction happens to you. That's the only way you will be able to stop serving different men in public and belong to one person.

The Cougar Empire is a place where sex is regarded as nothing. The Cougars pleasure young men in front of a crowd while they enjoy it and see it as fun. All the Cougars in the Cougar Empire were slaves that were bought either by the emperor or his subordinates, they were brought in and are forced to serve the Emperor and the only way they can leave is if you're are chosen during the cougar auction, and that's why the cougars worked hard to become sex expert in other to get chosen and finally leave the Cougar Empire.

While other Cougars were busy celebrating getting chosen, Melanie has been locked up in her cage for days without food and water, she has also caught a fever and right now she's shivering so much in cold and the only clothes she had on is a thin sackcloth while her tent was an open space, the sun beat her every day and the rain beats her when it rains, and during cold as well. she used her long brown hair in covering her arms while she hugged her knees like an innocent baby

Udona the head of the maids walked into the place, staring at Melanie she shook her head in pity, she got to her tent and stood with a bowl of hot soup in her hand

“Anie….” She called in a sweet voice and dropped the soup at the entrance of the tent

“I’m sorry this is the only soup I can make for your fever, the Emperor refused Medicine man from giving you any medication but don't worry, drink this soup and it will help” She said to Melanie in a tender voice. In the whole of Cougar Empire, she's the only one that has shown care and affection to Melanie and that's why she's the only one that Melanie has ever reacted to 

Melanie slowly crawled to where the bowl of soup lay and with both hands, she lifted the bowl and gulped down the whole content. She stretched the bowl back to her with her innocent hazel eyes, Udona was moved with emotion, she took the bowl from her as a tear rolled down her cheeks, she turned araway immediately and walked away.
