"She is so beautiful, even with her clothing on, her bidding start from hund......."

"One thousand gold coins"

The man who rebuked the warden before said again, the warden's face changed to a color of red.

'Was that a blush on the warden's face, unbelievable, Envaline's bidding is gonna be an interesting one'

Sharriah thought, already enjoying the show.

"One thousand, five hundred gold coins."

Another man said, coming forward, towards the stage of the bidding, his face filled with mischief, but the first man remained unbothered, unconcerned at the other man's bidding, he acted as if he already owns her.

"Two thousand, and five hundred gold coins."

He said, looking unbothered at the amount of money he was gonna use to buy Envaline.

"Four thousand gold coins."

The other man said again, not relenting, am not sure an insane man could purchase higher than that amount,

"Eight thousand gold coins"

The first man said, at his words, the whole crowd gasped, but his demeanor never changed, he still remained unshaken at his words, and the second guy looked shocked at the first man's words, but an expression of something vile flashed on his face, and I was happy Envaline won't be sold to the second man, but to the first man.

"One, two, three and the slave goes to......"

The first man never gave him time to finish his words as he went taking his good from the hands of the warden without waiting for him to complete his words, Sharriah was shocked at his action, likewise the warden, he was not expecting to receive such treatment from a very high man just because of a slave. The warden gritted his teeth in annoyance, yet he was bound to do nothing, instead he remained quiet, not taking the risk of having his head hanged on a stake.

As the man dragged Envaline to the exit of the room, Sharriah was sad, as she hoped, seems like Envaline won't be sold together with her and that thought made her scared, she was not happy with that thought.

"Envaline Stallion"

The warden pronounced her name, the guard who was stationed to write names of the slaves for the auction, whose name she later came to know was Farin, he looked at her, his eyes shocked with anger, she cheated,

A guard came forward to drag her to the auditorium, but the guard Farin, stopped him,

"I will take her to the auditorium myself"

He said, dragging her to the auditorium, his hands unusually holding her arms too tight which probably, might leave a mark, and as she yelped in pain at his sudden act, the buyers turned towards her at the attention she caused by screaming, but yet, the guard continue squeezing her hands even when he was in front of the auditorium,

"Farin, quit hurting the slave, you won't like her value to be reduced, would you?"

The warden asked the slave, a smile on the warden's face, the warden turned towards the buyers,

"I am sorry over the slave unmannered attitude, she is a very beautiful slave and taste quite well"

The warden said, looking at the direction of the alpha king, surprised he had not purchased a slave yet for himself, even though he was the one that ordered for the sale of slaves in the black market, wondering why, only the beta bought a precious slave with a high amount of coins,

"You will enjoy her, she is quite stubborn, ferocious and aggressive in nature"

The crowd roared at his words,

"And people like her, are quite intensely good in bed"

The crowd once again, roared with joy, eyes sparkling to lay their hands on the slave,

"Nevertheless, she is still a slave, the mark of a slave is embedded on her body"

The warden said, about to rip apart Sharriah's cloth, and Sharriah already closing her eyes, waiting to hear the sound of clothes ripping apart, but instead she heard a loud growl, more than the sound of an angry lion, the sound shook the building and it trembled in fear of the owner of the voice, the people scampered away from the man who owns the voice that could destroy their lives and make them beg for mercy, the warden basked out from her, Sharriah. Sharriah was also shocked at the voice of the person, bowing down, she heard another growl, she rose her head immediately to the owner of the voice, as she looked up, she saw him, the same grey eyes she saw the last time, and the scent again came hitting at her like a wind, her head jammed internally with voices, which she never knew where they came from in the first place, and she heard the same words, the same language spoken,

"Mate"

"Mate"

"Mate"

"Our MATE"

Something purred in her mind, and she looked shocked at what was happening to her before, these had never happened to her, and she was surprised to experience these, only when these man with a grey golden eyes is with her.

She couldn't stop looking at the eyes that have charmed her to the cure, and the man looked un resistable charming, jaw stretched, which punctuated his lips, eyes boring into hers, challenging her to stop looking at her, lips, red, tempting to be kissed, where was that thought coming from, she hushed herself, but still yet, not denying the fact, the man is undeniably handsome and sexy, his hair, a thick black, making the color of his skin, toned and flawless, and she felt these connection with him, while staring at him, she noticed the warden coming back towards her, at the warden's movement, she noticed the man fold his hands into a fist, and his knuckles showed through the folded fist, the warden basked up his posture, staying a distance away from me, surprised at the warden's action, who was the man, to make the warden scared to earth, the second man in an entire row, but these second man, looked more scarier than the first man,

"Her bid will start from two hundred gold coins"

Surprisingly, the audience were bidding on her quite well, and it made her winced, they wanted to have a taste of a ferocious slave,

"Fifteen thousand gold coins"

The man with grey eyes finally said, the whole atmosphere became quiet at once, everyone shot down at his words, no one was gonna bid higher than that, these amount was so high to even buy a slave with,

"Twenty thousand gold coins".

Another voice boomed in the crowd, the crowd paved way for the new bidder as he walked to the audition ground, as he came forward, Sharriah got a bad feeling from him, his aura emits darkness.

And he was darkness indeed.

The first man growled at disapproval over the arrival of the first man, it seemed like they were on a battle, internally, with themselves,

"Twenty three thousand golf coins"

The first man said, and these attracted a lot of noise from the crowd,

"Thirty thousand gold coins"

The second man said, his teeth bringing out canines, and at that moment, she knew those two were not ordinary beings, they posses a strong power and authority,

"Thirty three thousand gold coins"

The first man said again, looking at second man, again with more disdain,

"Thirty five thousand gold coins"

The second man said, an evil smirk on his face, showing he was not gonna give up, not yet,

"Fifty thousand gold coins, thirty thousand silver coins and fourty thousands pounds of diamonds"

The first man said, the crowd said, and he earned a fit of shouts at his bid, these was the highest ever placed in an item, and maybe the only highest bid to be made in history,

"These bid ends in one, two, three, and now"

The warden said, forgetting any incident that happened few minutes ago, still reeling in joy over his good fortune.

At his words, the man, went dragging Sharriah to the back stage, where the payment will be made, she was still shocked at his words and still not yet thinking normally, why should someone buy her with gold, diamonds and silver, that was too big to reckon with. She was brought back to reality when she saw someone, raising her arms up to her face, obviously asking her a question, but she could nor understand the question, she was still used to her new master's way of communicating, she then saw the huge marks in her arms, the marks were caused when the guard Farin dragged her tightly to the auditorium, for her to be sold,

"Ummmm........I.....was..."

She said, mumbling and her voice coming out squeaky, she bowed her head in shame, not able to talk or look at her new master, who she felt a connection with, and afraid of, he was no ordinary man, he could cut her head in an instant without thinking how much he bought her,

"was that how it feels, for a slave to have a connection with their master's at first sight"

She thought,

She felt someone holding her hands again, and she was shocked at the touch she felt, sparks raged through her body,

"Who did these to you slave"

The man asked now, verbally, and she bowed her head in shame, no matter how kind the man treated her, she won't still be a normal human, but a slave, something in her hurt, and then she decided to escape from the man, if they live the black market, remembering the man's question,

"It was caused by a guard"

She said, her eyes meeting Farin, who looked at her with disdain, and she wished the guard would be punished well for all the crimes he committed to the slaves in the establishment,

"These guard did these to you"

The man said again, she nodded at his words, nor sure if she should talk or remain quiet, just using signs,

"She was so stubborn and I had to discipline her, so she does not act too poor with you Alpha king"

The guard said, bowing down to the man who he called an alpha king, what does that mean, was he truly the alpha king, the king of the werewolves, she was shocked at the realization, she always heard the stories about how the king is brutal and cruel, from the guards and other slaves, and now she was sold to the alpha king.

That was why she had been submissive to him by bowing down frequently when he talked, his aura signified power and authority and she unknowingly yielded to his authority.

She heard the breaking of bones and the scream of someone pierced her ear, she looked up, surprised at the sound, she realized her hands were free, no longer held by the alpha, and she saw the guard, Farin, on the floor, his arms broken into two, dispatched from his appendage, blood dripped from his arm, as he whined in pain, the alpha looked unshaken, as if, he had not just detached an arm,

"You damaged my good and for that I won't pay fifty gold coins, instead I will pay, fourty gold coins"

The alpha said, as if the punishment he gave to the man was not enough of a punishment,

"Let's live, Calleb, settle the establishment"

The alpha said, dragging his slave to the cart, and as they left the building, Sharriah saw that the environment was becoming more and more busier and these surprised her, being in the outside world was something she was never used with, that was when she saw Margret, being dragged by the man who was bargaining her with the alpha, her body shook with fear, fear for a friend who helped her escape the man, whom she considered have a bad and evil aura surrounding him, maybe she would have been the one in her place. As she watched her friend been dragged like a sheep to be slaughtered, her heart tightened with pain, as she watched, she saw the man, looked at her, a smirk fell on his face, as he left the scene, instead of her to feel a fear towards him, she felt hate, untamed hate towards him, these thoughts encouraged her to escape soon enough, to save her friend,

"Don't think about it, you won't succeed"

Aiden said, looking at the slave, who was beside him as they walked to the carriage, he knew what his little slave was thinking immediately she looked at Bethel,

"You can't go thinking on how to attack people, not just people, a vampire"

He again told her, making sure she knew what she was about to encounter her self in, he stopped at his tracks, as he turned towards her,

"And even though you tried to escape, I will come taking you back to me"

He said again, these time sounding more serious at his words, his eyes darkening with assurance, that he meant what he said. Did vampires exist, she never knew they do, till now.

As they drew nearer to the carraige, she could notice that the people in the slave establishment was reducing little by little and it got more darker and darker as they worked,she realized these part of the black market was dark, while the other part of the dark market have light, was these some dark magic or what,

"Is a dark magic that makes one part of the earth dark and the other side day, there are other evil creatures around here, who won't think twice of detaching your head from your body, so you have to stay close, understand"

The alpha's voice rang in her whole body system, through out the short journey to the carriage, his words kept ringing in her ears, why would any one try to kill her, they don't know who she was, right!!! She thought, looking around, trying to know if anyone was following her, but all she could see was darkness.

As they reached the carriage, her eyes widened in awe, she couldn't remember the last time she entered a carriage, maybe, ten years ago, she thought, many things must have changed now, the carriage was not the same way it used to be designed the last time she saw one, then she realized how much she must have missed, as she looked up, she saw another carriage, and the door of the carriage opened, and someone stepped down from the carriage, revealing her best friend Envaline, she was shocked when she saw Envaline, Envaline rushed towards her, hugging her, the man came followed her swiftly at her sudden action, but he relaxed immediately when he saw Envaline hugging her, happy she was finally reunited with her best friend,

"Your plan worked out just fine"

Envaline said, whispering to her best friend Sharriah.
