Chapter 6: MEETING MY MATE

ALPHA BRIMSTONE

"Do you want to leave now?" Zac asked me, feeling a bit down and embarrassed.

He had talked a lot about the auction and it was obvious he had a great expectation toward it but it ended up not satisfying me at all.

"Yes, Let's go." I replied.

I was about to stand up to leave when I heard the host's voice.

"Now, we are on to the surprising last product. This one is the daughter of the late Pack D Alpha, who died a few years ago, and she's a pretty royal girl with a lot of charm. Well, unfortunately, she couldn't make it here today, but we will show you some videos and pictures of her, and the bidding will start then."

"Videos and pictures in an auction house? This is crazy." I mumbled to myself as I smirked and sat back in my seat. Seeing something so crazy wouldn't make my trip here so wasteful after all.

The video started, and I frowned when I saw the beauty inside. She was looking so happy and cheerful, even though she was in a dark room all alone. Eating happily, like she had nothing to worry about.

From time to time, she would press her hand on her chest and close her eyes, and by the time she opened her eyes again, she would look like she had just gained the world, and on her lips would be the brightest smile I had ever seen.

"What's wrong with this girl? She's going through a lot of pain; why can she still smile so brightly?" I heard Zac's confused voice beside me, and I agreed.

"This girl is strange," I mumbled.

The video ended, and different pictures of when she was small until she grew older and got locked in a room started playing on the screen, and I could see the amazed faces of the people in the auction room.

"This pretty lady will be going for $30k!" The host started the bidding, and I could see a lot of people raising their numbers.

Everyone seemed to like the energy of that girl, and they all wanted her too. "$36k!" The first person added $6,000 without blinking.

"$40k!"

"$50k!"

"$55k!"

"$60k!"

"$70k!"

The bid kept soaring higher and higher, and I was shocked at the way people kept wanting her. No one was complaining about her price being higher than the rest when they would have done that on a normal day. The others started at only $20k, but she started at $30k, and they were still increasing it as if she were one big asset.

I also viewed her as 'different' and 'unique, but she wasn't worth my time, and it was funny to see the way Alphas were dying to have her for themselves.

"$100k!"

Uproar surged in the room when the Alpha of Pack 2 raised the bid to $100k, and everyone else kept quiet because no matter how much they wanted the girl, they didn't feel like she was worth that much when she was just an orphan with no connection at all.

The host was surprised, and a big smile bloomed on his face. "$100k! This is great! Is there no other bidder? Is there?" He asked, but no one answered, and he smiled again. "Okay, $100k going once, going twice, going..."

"$150k!"

The host was interrupted by a voice very close to me, and I frowned. Who was it? I turned my head to look at who it was, but I was shocked when I realized it was Zac! "Zac, are you okay?" I asked, looking at him like he was a madman.

He had always told me he wasn't ready for a mate, and he never made any attempt to find one up until now. Has he fallen for the strange girl with whom he was ready to have a Mate already? I kept asking myself, and I was curious to know what he was thinking.

Hours later, The auction ended with Zac buying the girl for $150k, and we were only given the girl's address.

We teleported there, and we saw the girl sleeping in her old, rusty bed that looked like it was going to collapse any time soon. "So, you want to marry her?" I asked Zac, who chuckled and shook his head.

"She is yours, Brimstone." He said it to me, and I frowned.

"Mine? How is she mine? Did you not buy her to make her your Mate or slave?" I asked him, but he shook his head.

"Seeing her, I have a good feeling about her, and her energy seems pure. I believe she is the best person for the Luna position for now. That was why I bought her." He explained to me.

I was stunned for a while as I stared at him. He did not even ask for my permission before buying my mate. It was crazy, but he was right. The girl seemed special Somehow.

Zac turned his back on us, and I moved toward the girl's bed. "She needs to be branded first," I mumbled as I pressed my fingertip to her chest, and she started groaning.

She groaned and groaned for some seconds before she finally relaxed, and I pressed my hand on her chest to feel that my mark was already on her. "She's branded already," I said to Zac, who turned back to face me and smiled.

"Great." He commented before handing me my phone. "There is a message from home that Elder Trak wants to see you. Will you go now?" He asked me, and I nodded.

"She should be up before I return, right? Stay with her till then, and I will come back later." I replied and left the room.

Thinking back to that day, I kept wishing I had not made a mistake in choosing her instead of those that looked dead and tired of life because they would have been easier to deal with.
