I had never imagined myself being sold to the highest bidder, but my life had always been filled with hardships.
It was a very calm start to the day, with the early morning sun providing a false sense of warmth to the surroundings. However, stress grew like a fog as the hours passed, and I ended up standing on the makeshift auction stage with my heart pounding.
The people in the crowd were a jumble of faces: strangers, curious people, people who didn't care, and a few people who were too interested in me.
Fear coiled like a living creature in my stomach, but I held my chin up and refused to show it. I grounded myself by clenching my fingers into fists, despite their minor trembling at my sides.
The smooth, practised voice of the auctioneer echoed. Our next reward is a wolf of exceptional strength, beauty, and a fierce spirit that will not be subdued.
Who is going to make the initial bid?
