She is mine

"Long silky lustrous hair, smooth and radiant skin, a rosy flush in her cheeks, her jawline like a sculptor's masterpiece, full red lips—not to mention she is slender and has a sexy curve with large hips! Her breast is rounded and full! I present to you the perfect masterpiece! This is the most beautiful slave you will ever find in the entire kingdom."

"Apart from His Majesty, who is interested in her?" The slave dealer asked with a seducing voice. He knew the fact that Leo wanted to buy Vera would make a lot of people interested in her, they would want to know what was so special about her, and he was ready to make a fortune from selling her off.

The auction persisted, with the normal crowd growing increasingly boisterous as each person declared their final bid. The members of the top elite family kept mute, waiting for those they considered beneath them to stop ranting.

"I will pay five thousand gold coins," a man's voice reverberated throughout the hall.

"Is that the final price?" The dealer asked with a menacing voice.

The crowd fell silent as the man who had bid a hundred thousand gold coins seemed pleased with himself; the sound of his footsteps approached the front.

Luckily, the elite family decided they'd had enough, and they began to bargain for Vera.

Several Alphas and wealthy merchants stepped forward, their eyes fixed greedily on Vera's limp form.

"I'll give you 10,000 gold coins for her," one of the Alphas called out.

"I'll match that offer and add another 5,000," a wealthy merchant countered.

The bidding continued to escalate, with each suitor trying to outdo the others. But Leo's expression remained unyielding, his eyes flashing with a warning that dared anyone to challenge him.

"I'll give you 50,000 gold coins," Leo said finally, his voice low and commanding. "And I'll throw in a parcel of land and a title. But I want her now, and I want her untouched."

The crowd fell silent, awed by the magnitude of Leo's offer. The slave dealer's eyes widened with greed as he calculated the fortune he was about to make.

“The Alpha King is very wealthy! Who spends that much on a mere slave?” The crowd had whispered, looking at Leo in awe. Patrick was proud of his master, and he smiled broadly.

But just as the dealer was about to accept Leo's offer, a voice rang out from the back of the crowd.

"I'll match the king's offer," the voice said, "and I'll add a personal favor to the king, one that he cannot refuse."

The crowd turned to see who had made the bold counteroffer, and Vera, although fainted, felt a shiver run down her spine as her mind wondered who could be daring enough to challenge the Alpha King.

As the crowd turned to see who had made the bold counteroffer, a figure emerged from the shadows. He was a tall, imposing man with piercing eyes and a chiseled jawline. He was dressed in fine attire, and a gold ring adorned his finger.

"I am Marcellus, Duke of Ashwood," the man declared, his voice commanding attention. "And I am willing to match the king's offer, plus a favor that I believe His Majesty will find...enlightening."

Leo's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he regarded Marcellus. Just looking at him, he knew he was here regarding war.

“I have no interest in whatever you have to say, boy!” Leo replied with a grimace. His voice was chilling and malevolent.

“Well then, I will double what His Majesty is offering to pay,” Marcellushad said with a mischievous smirk.

"A million gold coins!" Leo declared with a loud shrilling voice. Never had he thought a day would come when he would be talking with fools. He didn't even know why he wanted to buy Vera, he just felt a strange pull on her.

The crowd was instantly hushed, and even Marcellus, advancing toward Vera, halted in his tracks. He had a look of shock etched on his face.

Everyone blinked their eyes in confusion, they couldn't believe what they had just heard.

The slave dealer was shocked. The clatter of the key hit the floor as it slipped through his fingers! His hands, once firm, now quivered with disbelief.

A million gold coins for a slave was an unfathomable sum. It took a couple of minutes for the slave dealer to regain his composure.

"Does anyone wish to make a higher bid?" he inquired, his laughter tinged with a nervous edge.

The crowd whispered in low voices, they were all wondering if Vera was worth such a huge amount of money.

Marcellus stood still, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Going……going…. Going and sell!" The slave dealer announced, and the crowd burst into laughter, as they congratulated the slave dealer on his new fortune.

"Get her and bundle her up for His Majesty!" The slave dealer instructed two of his men.

"Don't! Nobody dares to touch what belongs to me!" The man growled at the slave dealer, and he suddenly materialized in front of the terrified slave dealer.

“Pay him, Patrick!” Leo said to his right-hand man, who bowed in response. Leo picked Vera from the ground and held her in his arms.

Casually, Patrick flung a bag of coins to the slave dealer for payment, and in the blink of an eye, before the astonished onlookers, they all vanished as if by magic—appearing and disappearing in an instant.
