SAMANTHA
I opened my eyes and was hit with a lot of panic.
I was bound. My hands, feet and body were tied mercilessly. I guess I had not passed the blood test.
What was happening? Was I going to be killed, roasted and eaten? From the look of things, I had not passed the blood test and because of that, I was going to be sold to the most terrifying Alpha triplets in the entire universe.
Do I beg? We're the triplets going to be worse than the lizard Alpha?
The Lizard Alpha made a slight gesture and not hesitating, his fellow lizards stepped forward and grabbed me like I was some helpless toy.
They pushed me to the pack of a pickup van and tied my hands even tighter. I wasn't going to escape.
This pickup van came out of nowhere. It had the sigil of a black wolf with wings. It also came with its own armed soldiers. They wore a uniform, helmets and also carried a gun.
They patrolled and looked around the pack. It seemed they were sent here to search for something.
I huddled in a corner of the van. Ashamed, hurt and cursing Amanda for making this tragedy to befall me. This was all her fault!! Look at what she did to me!!
Tears streamed down my face, spilling on my cheeks.
I saw one of the soldiers give the lizard Alpha a bag of coins and then our van proceeded to move.
Maybe when this car reaches its destination, I'll be thrown down a cliff. Yup!! I'd just die like that. My poor mother. I wondered what Amanda would've told her.
I lost track of whatever was happening and slept off. Hours turned to days and after two days, we finally reached our destination.
The soldiers picked me up from the van and took me to a little room. In that room, there were many girls like me. It was very obvious that they were sold.
They looked scared, hungry and battered. They were equally naked like me. Was this my fate? Would this be how I would end?
No. No. I would not accept it! I cannot accept it!
I looked around the room, trying to see if there would be a way out for me. But every room was thoroughly locked or filled with soldiers.
Hmmm… It dawned on me that I was trapped. My heart sank and broke into ten thousand pieces.
"Everyone, stand up!!" A harsh voice startled me. I snapped out of my thoughts, turning my face to find the voice.
A woman walked in. She was dressed as a madame. She wore a pantyhose with a long gown, heels, gloves and her hair was tied up to a ponytail.
Her eyes inspected us like a drug lord inspecting his new shipment.
"I'm Daisy Bond. I'm the Chief selector for selecting slaves for the Alphas."
What?!
Her voice was so sharp and harsh. "You are to rush into the bathroom and wash yourselves, shave yourselves and display your goods. The triplets will soon come in and choose which of your bodies he loves and who they want to spend the night with," she mused.
My blood was cold. Bathe? Shave? Wash ourselves? Here? For everyone to see?
I held the collar of my dress and began to tremble. There's no way I'd go lie on a table and open my legs wide for anyone to see. Not now!! Not ever!!
They'd already stripped me off my dignity by parading me here like a slave. What more did they want from me?
The other women seemed shocked too. They refused to move!!
Ms Daisy Bond didn't seem happy so she signaled to the soldiers. They began to grab some women and force their legs wide open.
"No, please!! Spare me!!" Her screams were echoing through the hall. It was such a pitiable sight. They pinned her to the ground and one man used a shaving stick to shave some of her bush.
The sight was so horrifying that I took a step back. In our eyes, we were nothing but tools to be used and dumped anyhow.
Ms Daisy's voice was still as stiff as ever. "Strip right now!! All of you! Or do you want me to order them to handle you mercilessly? I can see that you don't like grace!!"
The women began to take off their clothes with fear in their eyes. Some girls were tearing up silently while some began to choke and sob.
It seemed as if their dignity was being taken away from them. While seeing them crying, I painfully knew that I would not escape. This was it!! The end!! My heart hammered in my chest as reality opened my eyes.
My hands were shaking as I went to one of the tables, picked a shaving stick and shamefully started shaving myself out in the open.
'Please, let them not choose me!' I silently prayed.
Soon, all of us were well shaven and we were asked to bathe in the open shower in the room. Glass showers. The men could see us. Hmmmm….
After we were done, we were asked to stand in a line. Most of the girls were still crying.
Ms Daisy seemed pleased. She walked around, inspecting us while grinning from ear to ear. "How do you feel?" She asked and got no response from us.
"You look so beautiful and you smell fresh, girls. The princes will be pleased."
Yeah, right! Pleased? Or we will be used for sexual pleasure and be discarded like trash?
Time dragged on, some girls fell asleep and each other and the triplets refused to appear.
****
Ms Daisy kept glancing at her watch, she was visibly angry. She turned to a servant nearby and yelled at her to find out what could be delaying the triplets.
"Knowing how high their libido could be,there's no way they wouldn't be rushing here on perceiving the scent of the new girls," Ms Daisy Bond barked.
Soon after she left, the servant came back with a sad face. "The triplets said you're disturbing their nap. And anyone that keeps disturbing them will be torn into pieces. They are taking their time."
"Taking their time?" Ms Daisy sprung out in anger. "I don't care if—" She wanted to say before a yell was heard at the door.
Someone jumped at Ms Daisy Bond and held her throat. It seemed he wanted to rip it off. "You don't speak to your Alpha that way!! Understood?"
Ms Daisy was visibly terrified. "Yes–yes! Alpha. I am sorry."
"Good!!" He answered. "Now, where were we?" The man said as he straightened himself, like nothing happened.
I inspected him well enough to see the kind of man he was. He looked like ruthlessness himself.
He was tall, his brown hair caught the light like he was some good or direct descendant of the moon goddess and this feature distracted every onlooker from his terrifying figure. His face was about too handsome. Chiseled to the gods, with high cheekbones and brows carved by Selene herself.
His brown eyes swept over us with an icy glaze and every girl flinched, shuddering in terror.
I was pulled back myself. My heart was pounding in my chest. My throat had some contractions and I faced the floor.
Ms Bond introduced him. "Welcome, Alpha Prince Jayce.
Prince Jayce? Jayce Cunningham? The oldest ruthless and terrifying son of the Alpha? I think I've heard that name.
