A bullet of panic rose in Charlotte's throat. She rushed towards the nearest pillar and hid behind it. With the dizzying sense of anxiety, she focused on the conversation.

'I have seen her coming here, yet you are denying that no girl named Charlotte William lives here. One second, here is her picture."


This was Beta Noah Anderson, reasoning with the security guard about her. It sent a brusque bolt of shock right through her, the thought of being stalked was like needles jabbing at her skin.

She felt a dull ache in her chest that Alpha was still searching for her. After a momentary relief of hope, a deep sense of uneasiness held her tight.

'He will kill me!"


In her blind panic, she dashed towards her room, changed into jeans and shirt, retrieved the bottle of scent blocker and climbed the boundary wall to escape using her supernatural speed.

Charlotte had used this scent blocker only once when she left her kingdom nine years ago. After leaving the Pack, she deliberately went to Ava's house in order to leave her scent there.


Then she used that scent blocker and boarded a plane to America successfully.

She was in the cab when her manager called her.

'A person named Eric Dietor has called for you. Can I give him your personal information?"

With the instructions of don't attending his calls again, Charlotte planned to escape again. She was unable to think straight at that moment, so she booked a flight to the far possible place without bothering about the destination.

She said to the driver to take her to the airport but when he didn't reply to her, she finally noticed that taxi was parked at an abandoned building.

Before she could do anything, four muscular goons tackled her down and chained her to the wall inside that worn out building.

'How much money you need? My Uncle can pay the ransom."

Charlotte tried to bargain with them but they were like dummies, waiting for their Master's next order. One hour later, a middle aged bald man came with his team of armed bodyguards.

When Rick's mocking face appeared among those muscular men, it didn't surprised her. She had scrutinized each and every rival in sixty minutes and Rick was on the top of the lists of idiots in her competition.

That baldie grabbed her face with his thick fingers and inspected her body.

'This is a fine piece, I can give you fifty grands for her."

Rick poured him a glass of whiskey and raised his glass.

'I don't have any problem with money. I just want to sell her at cheapest price to your most special client. Dad was praising you that Mike has a variety of customers."

That Mike laughed with appreciation, gulping his offered wine,

'Your father is an old buddy of mine. He is no good than the options I have, why didn't he keep her?"

'Dad already has his plaything, also business is keeping him busy so…"

'The failing business where he lost his most important deal to a small company. You are busted, Rick!"

Charlotte chuckled at his lie and rolled her eyes when he spat on the ground.

'See, she has a savage mouth. Find something to shut it completely!"

Rick was trembling with rage, anger flowed through him like a molten lava.

Charlotte was then transported to an unknown place by road, as blind fold was hindering her sight.

It wasn't difficult for her to kill them and leave but it would be dangerous to expose her identity, posing a threat to her whole community.

…

Charlotte decided to wait till being sold to any single customer then leave his place. She treated down her irritation as she was on run but inwardly, she was seething.

Rick's disgusting behavior blossomed the resentment with in her and she briefly designed a revenge spree. She was kept in a cage with other young girls who were crying and screaming, unlike her.

It was the dinner time, so some vailed men gave them awful bowls of broth, which was hardly passable. Another row of men came to collect the utensils. Just then she heared an excited voice,

'My savior!"

Charlotte raised her head and saw Ben, who was pressing his nose against bars.

'How come you are here? This is the market for pets."

'A what?"

Charlotte was blinking her eyes repeatedly as she struggled to believe this.

'Vampire King is using stealth method for human slaves. They are well aware that we can't go against our nature, merely because of werewolf's orders."

Ben explained her about its origin and usage, scaring the hell out of other captives.

'My Sire is out of city. I will try to contact him for you. You are my savior, I want to repay my life debt."

Charlotte tried her best to convince him but he was adamant that he will save her (like she needed to be saved).

All the other seven girls were sitting in a group at one corner, with their mouth sealed with terror. Charlotte found this silence peaceful and closed her eyes to sleep.

...

'Hurry up, Move!"

In the middle of the night, rattling of chains, screeching of old cages and yelps of little girls abruptly woke her up. Soon, her cage was opened too and they were dragged to a room behind the stage.

From the scents, it was evident that most of buyers were Royals as well as Velenos, the most prestigious pure blood family after Royals.

Pure blood Vampires were divided into four families: Royals, Velenos, Venatores and Lyns. Charlotte's father told her that they belong to Lyns family, the lowest ranking one.

Judging from their intimidating aura, these vampires were indeed deadly. She was grateful to the Goddess that she used scent blocker in the afternoon which can save her from both Vampires and werewolves. In case of her sale, she'll go back to her Kingdom safely.

Auction was going smoothly until a distant roar made her heart jumped. As that feral growl resonated behind the curtain, fear paralyzed her. She supported herself with the wall, her legs were wobbly as she was weighed down by a dread.

She coughed for breath as horror choked her. There was a pin drop silence other than those outrageous throaty growls, the girls forgot to weep or wail as they witnessed horror on Charlotte's face. They looked at her with the questions in their eyes.

'No, it can't be true. I am in trouble now."
