Chapter 115

Maria:

“Killian, I need to be alone,” I said, stopping my son from approaching me. 

“Mama, I have to understand what Liana was on about.” He said, shaking his head at me. I had to remind myself that he was still the pack’s Alpha, and though his mother, I knew to respect a few limits that I shouldn’t be crossing.

“It is a past that I do not want to talk about, Killian,” I said, and he looked down at his feet for a second before approaching me. The memory itself was hard enough on me, and to think that she has held a grudge over something that I had no control over took me off guard in a way that I did not expect. 

“I need to know, mama. I am not going to ask anything that you are not going to tell me, but if I am to find out what is it that she meant, then I need to know from you what happened.” He said, taking both my hands in his. He kissed my knuckles while keeping his eyes on mine, and though my heart ached because of this, I nodded and pulled him to follow me to my and his father’s bedroom.

The two of us walked inside, and I walked toward the bed, sitting on the edge of it with him following.

“You know that I was sold to your father by Vladimir’s uncle, Konstantin…” 

Flashback:

“You are going to go to the Alpha, and you are going to please him as I tell you.” Konstantin, the human, said, looking me in the eye. The fact that he had sent his sister a bride to a man that did not love her was something that I despised, especially since she was my only friend while I was here.

“Yes, master.” I said, knowing not to call him anything else. He would be getting aggressive, and the last thing that I wanted to deal with right now was his anger. 

My hands, unlike the others, were unchained, but I knew better than to try running away.

“What is your name?” He asked, grabbing by my chin. I looked at him, fighting hard not to wince as he dug his nails in my skin.

“Lydia, master.” I said, and he nodded, letting me go. I was one of his most trained, and though I was one of the newest and he refused to sell me, I was still a virgin. It was uncommon for men like him to keep women virgins for too long.

He nodded, motioning for me to go. I took a deep breath, my heart racing against my chest as I walked toward the man whose eyes were fixed on mine. Konstantin was a step behind me and I knew to get on my knees the second that I reached the man. His eyes met mine one more time before Konstantin cleared his throat. I didn’t even know what the Alpha’s name was, but a heavy feeling settled in my chest by just looking at him.

“She is my latest, youngest, and most beautiful.” He said, introducing me to the Alpha. “She is a virgin, but considering that we are now family, I would believe that you are getting a taste of what her mouth can do before I have claimed her would be in order.”

“A virgin, and a wolf?” He asked, looking at Konstantin. I didn’t dare turn to look at him, but I couldn’t help but feel my lips rise as a small smile played on them. “I need proof that she is a virgin before…”

“You can rest assure…”

“You are holding an auction, that I am clearly against, and IF I am to allow it, then we are to go by my rules, do you fucking understand me?” He said, getting up from the couch. I didn’t move an inch, knowing better not to. But the man extended his hand toward me, and it took me a second to allow myself to move, taking his hand before getting up from the floor. His eyes met mine, and I took a deep breath before he guided me toward an empty room. It was the cleanest, not that these men cared about claiming their women on the couches that they sat on anyway.

“What is your name?” He asked, pushing me to lay on the bed. He looked down at me for a second before pulling me closer to him as he spread my legs. He kept his eyes on mine, and I gulped.

“Lydia,”

“I asked your name, malyshka.” He said, winking at me. The words baby girl made my heart race as goosebumps rose over my skin, but it wasn’t until I felt him pushing his finger inside me that I tensed as I felt myself being stretched to fit it. He smirked, pushed it in deeper for a second, clearly feeling my hymen before pulling his finger out. “And you are yet to answer.”

I watched as he put his finger inside his mouth, sucking on my juices before he raised an eyebrow at me. “I won’t tell him that you told me if that is what you are afraid of. I would have told him about your victory smile if I wanted to, but as you saw, I did not.”

I had to admit, I couldn’t contain the smile that formed on my lips at his statement, and he smirked, knowing that he got his way.

“Maria.” I said, and he nodded. My heart raced, and though she was normally under control, Konstantin made sure to break her enough into submission, my wolf perked up as I looked at the man who extended his hand toward me.

“Yaroslav,” he said, watching as he pulled me to his chest. “And you are going to be MINE by the end of the night, do you understand me?” 

End of Flashback.

“Your father bought me for a million,” I said, recalling Konstantin’s expression when he said the number. “I was the most expensive virgin in that auction, and that is something that Konstantin, though he did get his money, did not like.”

“I still don’t understand what Liana has to do with this?” My son asked, shaking his head in question. 

“Liana was here long before I was. She grew up here just like Natasha grew up by your side.” She said, making my heart raced. “The one difference between the two of them, was that rather than Liana seeing your father as no more than a brother, she wanted him as lover…”
