I heard the doorbell ring, and I realized my husband was back. I knew the maids would get the door for him. I have been waiting for him to get home. I have a little surprise for him. I made his favorite meal and wore a sexy gown to complement my meal. Tonight, he is going to relax and have a good time. "How was your wo?." I asked, smiling, but he groaned as usual., I took his office bag and led him to the room. "What are you doing, Olivia? What are you wearing?." Conrad muttered in annoyance. "You never had any problem with how I dress?" I say, rolling my eyes. "We are having guests tonight, and I would appreciate it if you were dressed more decently," Conrad said. "When did you intend on telling me that?" I asked. "Just get dressed, they will be here in a few minutes," Conrad said, his tone harsh. I know it has been rough with work, but that doesn’t mean he gets to speak to me anyhow he wants. I let it slide and changed into a sundress. I could hear voices coming from downstairs; his guests are here. I didn’t cook enough for more than two people; if he had informed me earlier, I would have been happy to cook for his friends. I wore a fake smile as I walked into the living room. The way they looked at me, something told me they didn’t just come here to discuss with my husband. One of the men says something in an unfamiliar language, which I don’t understand. I shrugged it off and smiled. "She is beautiful, the Alpha will enjoy her." The other one said, I glanced at Conrad, who averted his gaze from me. I was trying to understand what he meant by that. My body shivered when I heard that. "Conra, can I speak to you in the kitchen?" "We won’t have time for that princess; the Alpha is waiting." What did that have to do with me? "Conrad," I called his name again, but he didn’t say a word; instead, he glanced at me with a frown on his face, and my frown deepened. I watched as the three men all stood up at once. "You never told her." The brown headed one says. I was utterly confused about the situation. Conrad couldn’t even look at me. I called his name a couple of times, but he didn’t answer. "You are coming with us, princess. Your shithead of a husband never felt the need to tell you the truth." The brown headed said. "What are you talking about?." I asked, I could barely hear my voice over the pounding in my chest. "He sold you for a million dollars to the Alpha." The brown-headed smiles. I stare in disbelief. I can’t believe my husband will do that. I know Conrad loves me a lot, and he will do anything for me, but he will never betray me. "Conr,d," I whisper with tears in my eyes, I stroll toward him searching for some form of lies in his eyes. "They forced you into doing this," I ask. "We don’t have time for this princess; the Alpha doesn’t like to wait." The brown-headed spoke. "Please, Conrad, tell me it’s a lie." I cried. "I know you love me and you will never do that to me." "It’s not, I don’t want you anymore. I fucking sold you." He gritted his teeth. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. "I never loved you." I gave my all to him, and he did this to me. Tears brimming down my cheek, one thought ran through my head: everything had been a lie. I wipe my tears. "Conra,d tell me they are lying," I whispered with more tears in my eyes, and my heart ached with pain. He glances at me before he looks away. "I reject you, Oliv. a, I dissolve any relationship between us, and I unbind my wolf from yours." Conrad said, every word made my heart acheand I choked back on a sob. "Why?" breathed out. "Because I could." He said, "This money is worth more than you." That was the moment something died in me, not love, just the illusion. The man takes my hand, nd dragging me off my husband, I cried, I begged, but he didn’t stop until he threw me inside the car, locking the door. "If I were you, I would stay still." I hear a voice from behind, he was not part of the men that came into my house. "Please, I’m sure this is wrong. Conrad will never sell me." I cried, and he shook his head. "I’m afraid your husband loves money more." He laughs. He does. His work is his obsession. I remember the day I met Conrad, I had just started working as a receptionist in a reputable company. Conrad came in to buy the place. The moment I saw him, something felt different in me, and he felt the same, too. As an Omega, I never expected to find a mate in a Beta; a Beta is the second-highest rank in our town, while an Omega is the lowest. I was lucky to find a mate in him. We started to live together, and with Tim, I found love in him, and he did the same. Before we got married, Conrad didn’t want me to work while we were married.d I was stupid, so I agreed to his wishes. No one wanted me to be with him, and I chose him over family. The werewolf kingdom is divided into small towns and the city. The city is where the Alpha and other important ranks of the werewolf live. After I found a mate in Conrad, I moved to the city with him; it’s so much different living there. We have been married for five years, five years of my life to this man. It had been complete until a year ago when everything came crashing down, Conrad lost the company, and his shares some of his business shares ot crashed, and the companies he had some stake invested in went down with the stock market. He became moody and spent his time all at the office working his ass off I wanted to work so I could help pay some bills, but Conrad won’t allow me; he had an ideology where he believed that a woman is not meant to work. It’s quite a tradition that runs through his family. The women of the family are not allowed to work. Conrad is obsessed with his work. He found pride in it. Conrad could not ask his parents for money because he is entitled and wanted to prove himself, as he is the first Beta in the family. I didn’t expect him to sell me for money; he should have just allowed me to work. I cried my eyes out while I was in the car I know there is no escaping this. I was trapped in a car with three men I had never seen; they looked dangerous. I know if I tried to run, they would kill me. One thought ran through my head: What did they want from me? Do they want to kill me, or even worse, use me as a sex slav?. I know I will rather die than allow any man to touch me. Conrad was the only man who had ever touched me. I wipe the remaining of my tears. "Where are we going?? I asked with a cranky voice. "You will soon find out, Princess." The man smiles. I turn my face around, staring at the tinted window. What did I do to deserve this? I gave him my all, and he treated me like this. I shouldn’t have married him, as Mom warned against; she never wanted this marriage between Conrad and me because she believed he was selfish. She tried to show me a lot of times, but I was blinded by love. If only I had listened to my mother, I would not have been in this situation. My mind comes back to reality when the car stops. I feel a hand hold mine, his eyes widened when he saw a red handprint on my hand. "Who did this to her? The man yelled. "Boss, I was only trying to get her into the car." The other man said. "Shut the fuck up, you hurt her." The brown headed replied. "I am fine," I muttered, but no one listened to me. Finally, the door opens and I walk out, I see the three other mwhohat came inside my house, and beside me was the other man who saw the red marks on my hand. I wipe the remaining tears. A huge mansion was in front of me. It looked elegant and beautiful. A statue in the middle gave it a different aura. "Don’t even think of running away." The man says, and I nod. I didn’t even plan it; I had no one but my husband, and he doesn’t want me anymore. Even if f ran away, I won’t have anywhere to go. I don’t have any family, nor do I have money. I glanced around the area. There were a good number of guards around the house. If I plan to run, I know they will find me and get me killed., I didn’t want that. I hated the idea of being a prisoner, but what choice did I have? I accepted what I am. The man who I learned his name is Ares led me upstairs. I have heard stories about Ares, the right hand to the Alpha; he is one of the strongest werewolves to ever exist. He says nothing as he walks me upstairs. Will I be staying in the basement, or am I going to be a sex slave to their alpha? I didn’t want either to do that, I was willing to stay, but not as a sex slav.e would rather die than have any man touch me against my will. I let out a gasp whensawsee my room, it was beautiful. It has a king-size bed, a small carpet in front of it, a center table, and some matching curtains; the walls looked beautiful. "You will be staying here, don’t leave your room unless you are asked to," Ares said. "I-I mean it, there would be a guard in front of your door." He says, interrupting me. He didn’t let me speak before he left. What is wrong with him? Taking a breath, I sit on the bed. I can’t believe I’m here right now. In the house of the Alpha, I have heard stories about the ma, who is called ruthless and vicious; he shares the same mind as the devil. I feared living in his house. I wanted to know why Conrad would do this to me. I wish he had given me a chance to fix things before he did this. I tried to stop the tears from brimming down my cheek, but I couldn’t. I was hurt. A man I have loved all my life, and who I always thought loved me back, did this to me. Did he ever love me, or was it a facade? I trusted him with everything, and he sold me without thinking. I wonder how he is right now. I wonder if he regrets doing this, or if he is happier without me. I found myself crying for a long time until darkness consumed me. A knock from the door wakes me up I let out a groan before I stand up to open the door. It was Ares. "I have been knocking for a while," Ares said. "I was sleeping," I replied with a growl on my face. "Get dressed for dinner," Ares ordered, and I knew I couldn’t say no. I stare at him in disbelief, "I’m not going to poison you, Olivi. You need to eat, it’s the Alpha’s orders," Ares says, and I nod. I closed the door and walked to the bathroom, which was nothing like my old bathroom; it was more spacious, and it had everything I used. All my hair products, I quickly take a shower, walking into the closet, I let out a gasp, there were different clothes, shoes, and bags. Was this someone’s room?m. I didn’t want to wear someone’s clothes, but I didn’t have much of a choice; the clothes I have are dirty, and I never got time to get clothes from my home. I slip into a pair of shorts and a crop top, and I let out a breath before opening the door. Like Ares said. There is a guard in front of my door. "I will lead the way, Miss Woodss." I still kept my name even after my father disowned me. Soon we reached the dining room and I realized it was empty. "Have a seat, Olivia." He says, and I nod. I take a seat next to him. "When is your Alpha coming??." I asked. "When he wants to." Ares frowned. I roll my eyes at him when he says that. I think he has mood swings or something because one time he is nice to me, and another time he is completely rude to me. I hated that, but I brushed it off. There was so much food, I haven’t seen this much food in my life. We waited for his Alpha to co;e, minutes turned it hours. I was getting tired of waiting, but knew better than to say anything. "You can start eating," Ares says. I quickly help myself with some chicken and rice, and I hear my stomach rumble because of hunger. I haven’t eaten anything for hours. I quietly started to eat after I was done. Ares was being a gentleman, and he led me back to my room. "Lock your doors and don’t open for anyone, not even me, until it’s mmornin'" Ares said. What did he mean by that? "What if I’m thirsty?" I asked. "You have everything you need in your room, lock the fucking doors and don’t come out." He says it was clear he was getting annoyed. I didn’t understand what he meant by that, but it scared me. I quietly nodded and locked my door. He left me with nothing but my imagination.
