Athena
The guards dragged me outside and threw me on the stage.
My forehead hit against the rough surface of the wooden stage that had been used for selling countless girls like me; Fresh blood instantly seeped through my bruised skin and the metallic smell hit my nose.
A Chorus of cheers and sounds of approval buzzed throughout the entire place. The hunger-filled eyes of the disgusting people waiting around raked my body covered in a torn red dress that barely covered my skin.
A sob slipped past my lips and I brought my hands close to my body to avoid the eyes of these awaiting monsters on me.
I felt disgusted. So weak and pathetic that I wished for my own death.
But little did I know that death was in no way near me because I was yet to face worse than death itself.
"So here's another fresh piece," The auctioneer grabbed a fistful of my hair and forced me to stand on my feet; My knees were ready to give up at any second.
"So this is our lovely...Athena," The monster began speaking, his voice alone made every fiber of my body shiver in disgust, "Beauty with grace." He grabbed my jaw and roughly raised my face to make me face the crowd.
Every single individual in the crowd had their eyes shaded dark in lust; There was no sign of mercy in any of them, not even a vestige of it.
"So soft and flavorful that you can crush her in your bed every night and still there be more of her." He chuckled.
This stirred awake many waves of laughter from the animals in front of me, beneath their skin and lustful gazes they hid demons and their dark intentions that brought them here to the auction today.
They were here to enjoy the helplessness of girls like us and gain their profit from it.
"But don't worry, she's fresh as a newly ripe fruit just like her age," The auctioneer spoke again, the dirt his words carried caused more tears to spill down my cheeks.
What could I do other than weep because of my misfortune? Nothing."A virgin, wolf less she-wolf," He said and chaos of whistles broke through the entire place and it felt a tight slap landing against my cheek.
Wolf less— The misery that put me into this position where I was today. The reason why I never got the love of my parents and ended up here is that they sold me like some good to these monsters due to their greed for money.
And here I was— In the middle of these starving demons, moments away from being once again.
I was not wolfless... I could feel her, her emotions, her strengths but the only thing that brought me into this hell was because I couldn't shift. Despite having a wolf, I am wolfless.
"So the bidding starts at Twenty thousand euros..." The MC's voice cut through, "Twenty thousand?Anyone?"
"Thirty Thousand," One of the bidders raised his paddle. The sound left my heart beating faster.
I closed my eyes, more tears rolled down my cheeks. It felt like the world was laughing at my misfortune; The pain of a weak she-wolf standing in front of the crowd of monsters who were here to take advantage of her helplessness because of their wealth, the same wealth whose greed made my parents sell me like some crap.
"Thirty thousand," The MC's pleasant voice spoke, the joy could be seen through his orbs, "Thirty-One? Anyone?"
"Thirty-Five thousand," Another bidder spoke among the crowd.
My heartbeats rose. The dismay surrounded me more and more. I did not want to be sold.
In my mind, I kept praying that this nightmare would somehow end. But it did not.
Because it was the reality.
"Thirty-five thousand! Forty thousand anyone? Do we have a Forty thousand for this fresh flower?"
"Sixty Thousands." Another voice rang from the crowd along with the sound of the paddle.
"The bar has been raised, gentleman! Sixty thousand!" The amazement was palpable in his voice, "Sixty-One thousand? Anyone?"
"One million!" A sudden voice buzzed among the crowd, leaving a hush prowling around the entire place and my...soul.
Unknowingly a shiver ran down my body. My eyes became desperate to see the owner of that luring voice, a surreal feeling stirred awake within every inch of my skin as if some sort of heat entrenched it.
But I couldn't see the person. The crowd was too huge.
Hesitancy covered MC's expression as if he was contemplating a decision that might cost him his life. And the same hesitancy was perceptible among the bidders. Everyone here knew who that person was, but I didn't.
"One...One Million. Does anyone want to bid higher?" His voice trembled.
No paddle rose, it was not because of the amount of money, it was because of.....fear.
The MC opened his mouth to speak but a sudden slamming sound was heard and the same voice spoke again, "Two Million Euros." The words were spoken with anger and suppressed underneath a hidden threat.
"Sold!" The MC did not delay a second before announcing.
His voice shook and his eyes shaded with fear as he uttered the name, "Sold to...Alpha Sebastian Valdez."
Another shiver ran up and down throughout my body hearing the name I'd never heard before.
Sebastian.....
The name caused my wolfish instincts to reach their peak. A rush of thrill, rising of indecipherable emotions. I was bewildered, I could not understand anything that was happening. Everything was just so sudden.
And suddenly the sound of someone's heavy footsteps broke my heavy chain of thoughts. I looked through my blurry vision in tears and saw him ascending his way towards me on the stage.
My heart stopped for a brief moment. The divine scent wafted into my nostrils, and my pupils dilated as I watched him with lips parted in amazement.
Perfectly sculpted face that took my breath away, framed with heavenly blue eyes that looked right through my soul, skin of an angel, and aura of a ruler......It was my mate.
I was stunned. Enchanted by his sight alone that made my whole world screech to a halt.
But amidst the chaos, It was unmistakably vivid that his eyes did not look at me the way mine did; They were ethereal yet cold.
Nonetheless, there was this hope within me that he'd give me any sort of reaction that'd tell me that he'd recognized me but he gave away none.
Instead, as he walked up the stage he did not bother to spare me another glance.
Another man walked behind him and handed the MC a suitcase that supposedly had the payment in it.
"Count it if you want," The man spoke.
"No. No need to count, it's okay. Alpha can take her right away." The MC spoke in a rush, fear, and anxiety screaming through his words.'
Then my mate suddenly spoke, "Nice to see, you have the intelligence to save your life," his voice and eyes both were void of emotions.
"I am taking my good, my beta will fill in the formalities," then he grabbed my hand for the first time, sparks shot through my skin and my heartbeats quickened but there was no change in the coldness I could sense from him.
He dragged me with him down the stage and headed out of place, straight to his car. There was no gentleness in his hold, it was extravagantly harsh.
The door of the car was opened by the driver and he basically threw me inside the car like some rag doll before he got in.
"Mansion." He told the driver and closed the door shut. He did not look at me, even for once.
I was speechless; unable to understand the reason behind my mate's behavior, why he was acting like a stranger to me, and as if he did not give a shit about me.
I did not know what made me crawl to the corner and wrap my hands around my knees and hide my face as the tears streamed down my face.
The security setup build-up in the car separated us from the driver's view but it did not make it any better.
I did not want to be seen. I wanted to hide somewhere and never come out.
Maybe it was the shame....because I did not have a wolf.....
The starting sound of the engine of the car was heard and moments kept passing. And suddenly a inhale and then heard a low growl that belonged to none other than my mate.
Before I could raise my head to look at him, I felt a harsh tug at my hand and I landed on the top of his lap.
I gasped loudly in surprise, a foreign feeling took over due to the closeness but all of it vanished soon because with his hands he shredded my dress into two causing me to gasp out loud and cover my bare breasts with my hands.
He threw away my clothes as if the smell disgusted him—The smell of the place and people I was kept among.
"I never wanted a mate, but I had never thought it would turn out to be this pathetic." He spat, his words full of venom, "Fucking miserable."
More tears rolled down my eyes but he did not seem to care the slightest bit.
He grabbed my hair in a fist and tilted my head to look into my eyes, "Listen to me very carefully, don't think I have purchased you because of this so-called mate bond thing. I don't give a shit about you."
In the coldness in his eyes, there was only hatred that remained in silence.
"So, if you are thinking that it's going to be a fairytale since I have brought you from the hell, you are wrong. And get this in your head that you are coming with me to my home, not as a mate but as a slave."
All my hopes were shattered the very moment I saw the hatred in his orbs. There was no sign of tenderness or love that I'd hoped to find, it was just the darkness that was going to destroy me.
"Got it?" He grabbed my jaw in a painful grip.
A sob threatened to tear through my throat but I held it in and forced myself to nod at his words.
"Good." He shoved me back where I was sitting prior, and threw his blazer at me, "Cover yourself before we get there."
My heart was hurting; It hurt so bad that I just witnessed myself losing the last hope, my mate.
But how could I even blame him? How could he possibly want the girl whose own parents didn't want her?
Holding onto all my sobs and tears, I covered myself with his blazer and forced my gaze away from him; I looked outside through the glass view of the window, looking at the darkness and hoping it'd swallow me in it.
AthenaThe entire ride to his mansion was passed in silence except for the few sniffles that I failed to hold in anymore. For the whole time, all he did was drink up from the pocket alcohol bottle nonetheless he did not look drunk but I could smell the liquor from him even from the distance.Something about him was very....scary. And as the seconds passed, I felt strange fear crawling up my insides. I knew nothing about him. Who he was, what he did, I knew nothing. This place was new to me. For a girl like me who never got the chance to step out from her pack, it was terrifying for me to find myself in such a vulnerable position.The car stopped in front of a huge mansion, it was vastly decorated and an enormous amount of trees surrounded everywhere of it as if a dark shadow had surrounded this beautiful place.Sebastian grabbed my wrist and roughly hauled me outside of the car. It was hard to keep up with his speed and with bare feet, it was even more difficult because of all the cu
AthenaI anxiously fisted the sides of the white dress I was wearing, sitting on the bed and wishing the front door would not be opened by him. I did not want to face him; I was afraid, more than I had ever been.So many questions were arising in my mind but the one that remained awake the most was...I was his mate, would he destroy me just like another of his targets?And suddenly the door opened with a loud slam.I flinched at the sound and my hand flew to cover my mouth to stop the gasp that left my mouth; Sebastian walked inside the room, and he still has the same attire on.My heartbeats picked a pace, and as his scent permeated the atmosphere of the room I found it hard to breathe.His eyes moved to look at me, his jaw tightened for some reason and his hands fisted to his sides.Did he hate the sight of me so much?"Come here." He ordered, his voice was stone-cold, and his stare unnerving.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced my legs to get down the bed. My body was res
AthenaTrigger warning: Rape, violence, mature scenes ahead.He forced his way inside of me with one swift thrust.I screamed out loud, unable to ignore the pain that slashed through; Every cell of my body froze and it felt like he'd ripped me into two with his length. I'd never been with a man, but for a virgin, his size and the force he used to penetrate me were too much.More tears slid down my face, making a mess. I felt torn down there.A satisfactory growl left his mouth and he pulled himself out before he hammered his way inside once again but with double pressure.My body jerked in pain and I screamed once again, "Ah!"And then he began moving in and out. Giving me no time to adjust to his size or the pain.His animalistic pace made the bed shake and squeal underneath us. My body was vigorously trembling, I couldn't even move my hands because Sebastian had tied them so hard.He used his free hand to grope my breast and pinch my nipple. The stinging pain erupting on the skin h
AthenaWhen I woke up, unexpectedly I found myself on the bed. A duvet covered my naked body, and the curtains of the windows were closed.I slowly got up, my aching muscles were making it difficult for me nonetheless I got up. Keeping the duvet around me to prevent myself from shivering, my skin was cold as ice and I felt really weak.Suddenly the door opened. A gasp slipped past my lips and I closed my eyes in fear, assuming the worst-case scenario that could be nothing other than the arrival of Sebastian.But to my fortune, it was not Sebastian who walked in.As I opened my eyes, I saw a maid walking inside the room. It was not Sarah, it was the other maid from yesterday."Alpha wants you to be at the breakfast table," She told me, "Please get ready quickly."I nodded, sucking in a breath to brace the pain that shot through my body starting from my lower abdomen as I tried to get down the bed.Suddenly my eyes fell on the bandages that were wrapped around my wounds. None of my woun
AthenaHe violently grabbed my throat and set me on the table, the grip so tight that within seconds it became hard for me to breathe.He kicked away the nearest chair to make space for him, and he stood between my legs.I tried to get his hand off my throat but he was back to being the same cruel monster he had been. He did not care the slightest bit about the pain he was causing me."These bandages are not enough, Athena," He said lowly, "You are yet to have more of my marks. I'll leave not an inch of your skin untouched, you'll be covered in my scars that'll always remind you of how much I hate you." His hurtful words once again made my tears threaten to fall from my eyes.No, Athena! He does not deserve your tears.Don't cry for such a monster like him."I wish you had any idea how much I hate you..." He chuckled.'But what is the reason?! What did I do wrong?!'— I wanted to ask him but nothing left my mouth.I only looked at him, asking all my questions in silence through my tea
SebastianI grabbed a fistful of her blonde hair she bobbed her head up and down, taking me in her mouth and as always trying her best to please me, being as submissive as she had been since from the start.This woman never failed to please me, or I was never dissatisfied with Celine or her obedience when it came to sexual terms. But today....something was off.It was not because of her. It was because of that damn burden I purchased from the auction. I fucking hated her. I loathed everything about her.I didn't need this mate bond, I did not need that woman in my life to stay powerful. She was only here for my pleasure and the damn beast within me that won't remain calm without her presence around me.Nowadays the only person who'd be in my mind was Athena. She was imprinted on my soul and gave me reasons to fear the outcomes. I fucking hated her.I did not want the mate bond. I did not want her. She was just another object for me. There was no way that I was going to feel anything
AthenaWarning: 18+, strong mature content ahead.For the past few days, the only time I got to see Sebastian was when he'd come to my room and use me like every other day. He indeed made me feel like an object; He treated me like one.But somewhat there was no chance of getting used to his tortures. Each day he was giving me another reason to crave an escape.Maybe there was a time when I'd desperately prayed to meet my mate, but Sebastian Valdez has left me with no other want other than getting out of his cage. He was lethal and his venomous nature was even more lethal.I wanted to run away far away from him and never come back.These few days were enough for me to accept the bitter reality that he did not deserve to be called a mate; He was a bloody sadistic being.I didn't even want to see his face. He disgusted me. Every time he came in front of me, the memories of everything he did to me would flash in front of my eyes like a projector.I wished I could escape from this hell...
AthenaMy wounds did not heal. Not even the slightest bit though it has already been a day.Usually, they would heal on their own during the day but this time they were drawn deep. They were like the invisible wounds Sebastian has given me all these days.He was destroying me bit by bit. He was ruining me every day and night. And after what he did last night, the need to escape from him was sowed deep within me.Last night, the realization had finally hit me— I had to escape his cage, not only for myself but for my soul. He'd already tainted me, snatched my innocence, leave me all shattered and scattered. And the way his tortures were increasing, I couldn't even imagine how he'd go.He certainly had no bounds. He was a sadist.And after the shower, I looked at myself in the mirror, and unknowingly I found my eyes filling with tears.The reality hurt more than the nightmare itself. The reality pained me and somehow it pained another part of me too—My wolf, who was like a shadow who mi
