I was being sold. I shuddered. Whoever would buy me… “Raise your number again, and I will rip out your throat.” Whoever it was, they were violent. I heard a hiss of pain and gasps around the room. Soon after, I was dragged off the stage and down the hall again. Then, I was tossed onto something soft like a bed. “I’m going to untie you now, okay?” “You smell so good…” he groaned and placed a hand on my thigh. “What’s your name?” Staring at the two twins in front of me, I cannot find a word to say.

"You're a curse!" exclaimed Austin. Agatha flinched at his hurtful words. "Everyone on this land knows that!" Agatha remained silent from his outburst. "I wanted your sister as my mate, my Luna!" Agatha felt her heart aching painfully.  "You will never be anyone important to me." She clenched her hands tightly together at his words. Her heart was pounding loudly.
