Chapter 5: AUCTION

ALPHA BRIMSTONES POV

I walked away from her without caring about her feelings, as that was the last thing I ever wanted to care about.

Seeing her look so weak was a turn-off on its own, but caring about her would be the biggest problem.

I was almost outside when I looked behind me and realized Zac hadn't followed me. "Where is he?" I asked myself.

If there was one thing I hated about Zac, it was his soft spot for women. Especially the women I brought home for myself, and that was why he always had it more difficult than I whenever they died.

How did I meet her?

I had never visited an auction house because I always found it boring and unentertaining. I hated going to one, so I would always send Zac whenever I was invited, until this very day when I was in my room watching some thriller movie.

Zac came into my room and talked to me about the auction I was invited to that day, and as usual, I said No.

He was about to leave my room when I called him back to ask him about the auction. I had no idea why I was suddenly curious about the auction, but I asked anyway, and he told me that people would be auctioned off that day.

People? Since then, did Alpha's auction sell people? But Zac told me that they invited other people apart from Alphas, which made sense, and I nodded.

It had been years since the last Luna died, and I was already thinking about how to get myself a Mate again, and that seemed to be the perfect opportunity for that.

I dressed up and attended the auction with Zac, who was surprised yet excited about the fact that I would be going.

"You're here?"

"Alpha Brimstone is around."

"Alpha Brimstone!"

"You're my model!"

Different wolves kept coming my way to lick my buttocks, saying things I hated hearing, and it disgusted me. The main reason I hated going on occasions wasn't mainly because it was boring but also because people would keep coming to me to make connections.

Girls would come to me with their bodies, wanting me to have them, and men would come to me to make me see them as someone worthy enough, just because they knew the extent of my power.

All those things made my blood boil, so I preferred staying at home, and that was why I gave Zac an instruction today. "Make sure no one comes close to me if they don't want to lose their lives," I said to Zac, and he was doing his job well as we didn't go there with any guards.

Sooner than I expected, just because I was there, the auction started earlier than usual, and the room was filled with thousands and thousands of both humans and wolves, but I was in a different room altogether, looking down at the others in the room.

"They've started," Zac said to me, and I nodded. "Brother, I know this is your first time attending this annual auction in years, but it has evolved a lot, and it's now very fun. There are always new and fascinating things that will greatly impress you." Zac explained it to me, and I smiled.

"You must have enjoyed yourself all through this year, right?" I asked him playfully.

Zac is a year older than I am, and he is a cousin who has always been like a big brother to me. Among all my kinsmen, he was the closest to me, but I was the strictest to him too, especially when we weren't alone. When we are alone, we act like inseparable twins who are always by each other's necks.

"Yeah, Little brother. You should call me big brother for today as we ain't in front of others now, don't you think so?" Zac taunted me, and I rolled my eyes.

"Aren't you scared of being punished later?" I asked him, and he chuckled.

"I'm scared. I'm so scared that I'm shivering already, but right now, I'm still the elder here." He replied, and I sneered.

We continued bickering as the auction began, and I saw a lot of things being auctioned away, but I was interested in none of them.

"When will they start the real auction? The one that brought me here?" I asked Zac, and he sighed.

"Soon." He replied before turning to me. "But, must you do this? Choosing a mate among the people that are to be auctioned as slaves is not a good idea, don't you think so?" He asked me, and I smirked.

"Why do you think so?" I asked him.

"One, they will be very weak. Two, They might be a spy. Three, do you think the Pack members will accept such a person as their Luna? All around, there is nothing good coming from such a person, and I don't think it's a good idea for you to buy a Mate that will serve as Luna for the most powerful pack ever." Zac tried convincing me, and I saw some sense in what he said, but after thinking deeply about it, I had no choice.

"If she is weak, she will die sooner than her ancestors. If she is a spy, I will torture her for the rest of her life and make her regret the moment she decided to make that choice. But how will anyone know if I'm here to buy a Mate or not? No one knows. So there's no way they'd plant a spy among them. And three, if the pack members refuse to accept someone like her, she will have to show them what she can do and gain their respect all by herself. I don't care how she does that, and I won't help her either." I replied and let out a deep breath. "Thinking deeply about it, I believe you should know that someone like that is the best person to be in our house. Someone with no family at all. Someone who has no string on this earth." I added.

Zac seemed to have understood as he nodded his head and smiled. "You're right. Let's look for the best of them all, then." He said it, and we both smiled.

Hours later, They were done auctioning off the materials—gold, diamonds, and everything else that was to be auctioned off.

"Now, this is the most beautiful segment of the day. I believe most of us here have already heard about the uniqueness of this year's auction, and trust me, you're in for a big surprise!" The host announced it excitedly, and I could see the people downstairs cheering excitedly.

The chained girls and men were brought out in a straight line toward the stage and taken to the other hidden part of the stage. "Why are they hiding them again?" I asked Zac, who giggled before turning to face me.

"That's why they call it an auction. They will bring them out one by one, and you can choose whoever you want among them that way." He explained.

As he said, they started bringing the girls and men out one by one and putting a price on them. They were beautiful, some were beaten, some were dirty, some were looking like complete sadists, and some were looking like psychos, but there was one thing they had in common, and that was their beauty and their dead eyes. They all looked as if they'd been sent away from this earth a long time ago and were ready to give up on life.

Some people would have pitied them and sympathized with them, but 96% of everyone in the auction room was a sadistic psycho who found pleasure in their sorrow and couldn't help but crave their voluptuous bodies and pretty faces.

Looking at the 'products', none of them caught my attention, and I was frustrated. The thought of coming to the auction and not taking home any women made me angry, and I started looking around when the last girl was brought out and sold away, leaving the hidden room empty.

"This is nonsense." I grumbled, feeling annoyed as I stood up to leave.
