Chapter 6

I was confused, my brows arched, and confusion consumed me as Alex's men grabbed me, hurling me toward a certain room. It was the room where those who got sold got cleaned up and dressed like a doll.

"Wait.. maybe there is a mistake, did I get sold?" I rasped, turning to the guards for answers as they dragged me to the room.

"Just shut up and get cleaned up, your new owner will be outside to pick you up!" The man snarled, tossing me into the room. I crumbled to the floor, my hands got bruised and I groaned in pain but it was nothing compared to the misery I had suffered and endured in the past year.

As I got up, I began to wonder if getting sold was a good thing, I didn't know who the buyer was and I had no idea what he was going to do with me. I live in a world where the supernatural and humans live together, it might sound nice and friendly but trust me, there is nothing friendly about having a supernatural being as your neighbor, you always have to wonder when or if he will feed on you.

"What if my new buyer is worse than Alex?"

"What if he is an organ trafficking lord, what if he is after my organs?"

"What if I become his sex slave and he treats me worse than Alex?" My mind bombarded me with a series of questions as stood in the shower, washing off my body with the cocoa-scented body wash by the rails.

I returned to the room and put in the dress that was placed on the table, along with the sandals by the bedside.

"Hey, how long will it take you to get ready? We don't have all day!" Alex's men growled.

I yanked the door open and turned to them, their eyes locked on me and their lips parted, I wasn't sure what they were looking at but it was my first time getting dolled up and I knew I was a pretty young lady.

"Move it!" They snarled at me after getting back to their senses.

My mind could not handle the fact that I was bought, I could smell something fishy, I knew something was off but I couldn't place a finger.

I know what you're thinking, I should be grateful that I was leaving this hell of a place but I know Alex, and I am one of his most prized possessions, he would not have given me up to anyone all the more why I can't because I got bought.

As we arrived a the car park, I noticed a tall figure standing next to a black BMW, he had his right inside his pocket while his left punched on his phone as he waited. I squinted my eyes trying to get a better look at the man.

"Is he my new owner?" I pondered as I walked towards him.

His legs were long and slender, his shoulders were wider than a football field, and his neck was the most attractive thing I have seen all my life. His skin was pale and gloomy, his nose was perfect, his chin complimented his perfectly curved lips, and his eyes were blue like the ocean and as I gazed I could feel myself drowning.

"He is definitely not human," I said to myself as Alex's men dropped me at his feet.

"Argh!" I groaned in pain, crumbling to the ground, and falling at his feet, his smell was intoxicating, they smelled like blood but a fruity kind of blood. I know it's weird.

"Delivered" They grumbled.

The man looked down at me and walked close to the men "She is mine now, the next time you handle her like that, I'll make sure you get sent back to your boss with just half a gallon of your blood and you won't get to live up to a day before you drop down and die .. do you understand me!" he sneered

My eyes widened and my brows arched, confusion latched on my face as I gazed at this mysterious man

"Did he just threaten Alex's men for me? Did he just defend me?" I pondered as tears filled my eyes.

Alex's men ran off, fright all over their faces.

"How long do you intend to sit on the floor?" I heard his deep voice from above.

He gestured to his guards and they hurled toward me, lifting me off the floor, they handed me a handkerchief to dust off my body.

"If you're all done, get into the car" He grumbled

"Why?" I blurted, he halted and turned to me "What?" He rasped

"Why? Of all the girls out there tonight, of everyone that was up for auction, why did you choose me?" She asked.

He gazed at me head to toe and stepped into his car, the guard who had given me the handkerchief bowed and gestured for me to enter his other Mercedes Benz.

"What the hell?"

"Why is he so rude?" I pondered, walking toward the car. I got in and they drove out of the parking garage. I sat like a gentle baby waiting for treats but more importantly, it was my first time outside after 3 years, I wasn't sure what to expect or see. As we arrived on the men's street, the sunset settled on my face, I gasped for air as I couldn't breathe, the sight was beautiful, the buzzing of the streets was amazing, car horns, children chanting, music at bars and coffee shops, big banners and big screen advertisements..everything felt like heaven, I could not recall the last time I felt this kind of joy… I guess it's called freedom but was I free?

We arrived at his Mansion and my jaw dropped, I had never seen a building so big before, and the guards ushered me.

"This way," He said politely and gestured the way in, I didn't know why they were treating me with so much respect, I had just been bought from the most disgusting place on earth and yet I was treated as a human being.

"Get some rest, you have a long day ahead… Show her the room" The man sneered at me.

I rushed toward me "You didn't answer my question, why did you buy me? What do you want from me? Why am I here?" I bombarded him with a series of questions.

There was absolute silence and his eyes were locked on mine, I looked into my eyes, and I felt as though I was hypnotized by something, his blue eyes suddenly moved like the waves of the sea and they changed to white, he slowly opened his mouth and I could see his fangs, he rushed toward me with his hands on my waist, grabbing me and pulling me close to him, leaving no space between us and our eyes still locked on each other.

"What do you Vamps feed on?" he sneered

"B… Bl..Blood" I stuttered, not because I was scared of him but because he was unbelievably attractive even in his Vampire form.

"And guess who has the rare O+ flowing through her veins?" He grumbled

My eyes widened in disbelief "He bought me for my blood?"
