Divided Amongst the Alpha Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The synchronization of applause tore the silence as the infamous Auctioneer parades his subjects in an iron kennel. Two asymmetrical, buffed men pushed the cart into the flashing stage which held the Auctioneer's prized possessions. There were covered in a red satin fabric, and only their faint, delicate silhouettes could be seen as the light cast them.On one of these kennels, sheltered a woman by the name of Cataleia, a criminal from the Human Territory. Rumored to have killed her groom before her wedding, she fled the country in order to escape the authorities finding her. What was worse was that her groom was the Governor— himself.Tonight, Cataleia has sold her soul to another human, a premise she had always been against of. But due to the severity of necessities, she needed to do it. There was no other way for her to guarantee survival other than this. She was not a quitter.This... though the thought is vile to advertise yourself, she saw it none other than, as mercy. To her, t

BORDERS OF ASKAVAN, HUMAN TERRITORY Cataleia found herself in the docks of Askavan by daylight. The soles of her feet were worn and bloody from running without footwear. Her dress was muddied and her face was blackened from hiding in the furnaces of every home she had sought refuge in. The folks of Askavan knew who Cataleia was by her dress. The nightgown was only given by the Governor to his wife or to his concubines.And everybody knew what being a concubine of the Governor feels like. So with what little they could do, they offered to hide Cataleia until she was in the borders, and from there, she is to figure out what she must do to not be caught. Tarpaulins of her bounty were posted across every bulletin board and post in the streets. Cataleia needed a shift of appearance in order to live another day.Orders had given her clothes to wear, but the girl refused to accept,justifying herself as: 'she didn't want to be caught like a coward'. Cataleia was infamous because of her fat

“The Auctioneer will want you.”Cataleia did not understand what any of those words meant. To her, it sounded as if she was being sold again. If she had known this was still going to be her fate, she wouldn't have bothered traveling to the Territory of the Wolves to become someone else's slave.But upon hearing the word: Auctioneer, the girl knew she had to oblige. Her uncle knew this person, more so that even entrusted the girl's future to this individual. She knew little about the Auctioneer. While in her homeland, she had heard of the nasty rumors regarding the infamous Auctioneer. They said he was wanted by the Royal Family, and has been on the run. One was for sure, the Auctioneer was a fine lad who harbored wealth for him to travel the world with his caravan.Cataleia had to trust, just this once. And she'll see where this would go for her. Escanor crossed his arms across his chest. "The Auctioneer is usually the person a 'lost' approaches.""A 'lost'?" Cataleia raised an eyeb

“I don't want to kill other people.”“They're no longer ‘people’, Lei.” The Auctioneer insisted. “These very people I tell you are criminals. Not even worthy to be forgiven.” “I am no different then.” The girl’s eyes narrowed in the dark path ahead of them. “Where are we going to?”“To my crib.” He replied. “You will be staying there along with other girls.”“Won't they kill me in my sleep?” she turned her head to him and frowned. “You said so yourself that these people are dangerous.”“The girls you will be roommates with are well-behaved.” The Auctioneer said.“Are they werewolves too?”The Auctioneer sighed at Lei’s bombardment of questions. “No. But they aren't humans either. Don’t be surprised by their personalities.”The girl nodded meekly and followed behind him. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her jacket. In her mind, she felt hopeless. This time, her life as a vagrant truly begins. She will have to raise a blade at anyone just to ensure her own quality of life. ‘

Cataleia woke up the next day and found out it was noon. Something heavy was on top of her and when she opened her eyes, she realized that stacks of blankets were used to cover her. She pushed the heavy fabrics aside and stretched her limbs before grabbing her jacket and went outside. She made her way down the stairs and greeted Ade from the reception table. The blob creature merely waved its hand as a sign of replying.“Sorry… uhm, would you happen to know where Casa and Angela is?” she asked Ade even if she knew she wouldn't be able to talk back.Ade pointed her gelatinous limb to the left where a door led to the rest of the canteen. “Thanks, Ade.” The girl told her, and then entered the path to her left. Upon coming inside, she realized it was just a small dining hall, but with three huge tables. And just like in the tavern, everyone turned their heads to her when she entered. Weres, faes, and other unusual creatures who were compiled by the Auctioneer, stopped eating and looked
