Chapter 7

“Don’t do it,” Lattie whispered in my ears as if she could read my thoughts.
“I will not be a slave, Lattie,” I whispered back. “I’d rather die.”
I stood up and shifted into my wolf form, breaking the chains off my ankles for the second time. Without even a moment’s hesitation, I flung myself into the sea, changing back to my human form as I hit the water.
I had never learnt how to swim because of my fear of drowning, but today I welcomed the enveloping arms of the deep unknown. I closed my eyes and as I sank lower into the depths of the sea, I imagined being reconciled with my mates, and the thought brought me so much peace as I disappeared into the darkness.

*****************

A sharp slap across my face brought me back to life, while a hard pressure on my stomach sent me coughing up sea water violently.
I was lying on my back and there was absolute confusion around me. A male voice I didn’t recognize called out to someone to bring blankets.
“This stupid bitch has been trying to get away from me all day!” Scout screamed angrily. “I’m going to teach her a lesson when this is over.”
I finally opened my eyes, blinking several times because of the sting from the salt water. I was back on the boat again but it wasn’t swaying anymore and that told me we were on land.
“Let me go!” I moaned weakly.
“Not until I get my thirty gold coins back with interest,” Scout shouted at me. “I tried to be nice to you but you have shown me that you don’t deserve my kindness. Now, come here, and get your punishment!”
He dragged me up roughly by my arm and began to pull me to the front of the boat While the other women simply stood back and watched.
“Let her go, Scout,” said Lattie.
He turned around to glare at her. “Do you want to take her placed instead?” He asked her.
Lattie flinched and shrank back with dread. “Of course, not,” she said and turned away.
Scout returned his attention to me, dragging me to the bow where he bent me over his seat and began to hoist up my dress.
When I realized what he was trying to do, I started to struggle to break away from him but he was pinning me down with his chest and he was too strong for me to push away.
“Stop!” I screamed desperately. “Let me go!”
He growled and punched me on the side of my head, almost knocking me out. The attack left my head spinning and I was too disoriented to continue struggling.
Scout tore my underwear and within seconds, shoved himself inside me. I gasped in pain as he continued to force himself into me while gripping the back of my neck with his large hand. I could barely breathe and a raging fire burned between my legs as he continued to assault me.
“I like me some tight pussy,” he panted in my ear while ramming in and out of me. “Tight and sweet and juicy.”
“Stop,” I moaned in pain.
“You like it don’t you?” He laughed. “Don’t be shy, tell me how you really like it.”
To my horror, I began to feel myself getting moist as Scout continued with his powerful thrusts. My nipples tingled and began to harden as they grazed the seat I was bent over through my dress.
The pain slowly transformed into pleasure and I had to grit my teeth to stop myself from moaning out loud.
“That’s right, baby. Enjoy it,” Scout cooed to me like a considerate lover that he wasn’t. He didn’t slow his pace and if I’m being honest, I didn’t want him to.
My hips began to rotate on their own, matching his rhythm and pushing both of us to the climax at the same time. I knew the other women were watching us including the new guy who I could see from the corner of my eyes was busy stroking his erection and panting like a dog in heat.
When it was over, Scout pulled himself out of me and that sent me into another round of orgasm, so I pressed my thighs together to savour it until it was over.
“You’re a bad girl after all,” Scout chuckled, pleased with himself. “And as a reward for giving me a fantastic quickie, I am going to sell you off to the Alpha of the Highlands. You belong in his harem.”
“Please, don’t,” I begged him. “Just let me go back home.”
“Ok,” he said. “Do you have sixty gold coins to pay for your freedom?”
“I don’t have any money,” I replied.
“Then stop telling me to let you go because that will never happen,” he snapped at me.
“You should be thanking me. All of these women here would give their lives to be sold to the Highlands’ Alpha. You’re just an ungrateful bitch. You’re a good fuck but ungrateful still. Now, go and join the others and get ready to meet your buyers.”
I went to join the others with my head bowed. I was ashamed to look at them because they had witnessed my humiliating rape and how I had eventually enjoyed the abuse.
“It’s ok, darling. Scout is right and you’d be lucky to make it into the Alpha’s harem,” said Lattie.
“I heard that the Alpha’s lovers don’t work. They just eat, sleep, look pretty and pleasure him whenever he wants. That sounds like a vacation to me.”
“We could switch places if you don’t want to go,” said a teenage girl with a freckled face and black hair.
“I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve and I’m sure the Alpha will be smitten by me after one round of hot sex.”
“Be quiet, Doria!” Lattie snapped at the girl. “I’m sure the Alpha doesn’t want a serial killer in his harem.”
Everyone chuckled except me. There was nothing funny about becoming a sex slave or becoming someone else’s property for as long as they chose. This was wrong in every way and I couldn’t imagine myself living as anybody’s slave, Alpha or not.
“All right, ladies. Line up and start marching forward,” said Scout. He had pulled the boat to the dock and it was time for us to disembark.
We followed Scout’s lead and were ushered to a tent where a snobby-looking man dressed in a regal suit sat behind a table and flanked by two equally overdressed men that looked like they wanted to be somewhere else instead.
“Well, these are Deltas from the Highland palace and they are going to choose first before we present you to other buyers,” said Scout.
“There’s barely anything to choose from here,” the main Delta behind the desk complained with a bored expression. “All I see here are old, malnourished and plain-looking women. None of them is worth the Alpha’s coins.”
“I beg to differ,” said Scout quickly. He grabbed my arm and pulled me forward. “This one here has fireworks in her pussy. I’ve tasted her myself!”
The Delta raised an eyebrow. “So, we are to give the Alpha your leftovers, is that correct?”
Scout cleared his throat. “No, that’s not what I mean. I was just trying to say that I think the Alpha is going to like her. She has a banging body underneath that awful dress.”
“Let me see,” said the Delta.
Before I could even wonder what he meant, Scout ripped off my dress in one swift motion, stripping me naked in front of everyone. I gasped in shock and tried to cover my boobs but Scout slapped my hands away.
The Delta’s eyes roamed over my body, stopping to ogle my full breasts before strolling down to focus on the hairy mound between my legs.
“Alpha Jaxon loves a clean-shaved pussy,” he said while his eyes were still pinned on my private parts.
When he finally looked at my face which had become red with embarrassment, he said, “We’ll take this one. How much is she?”
“Seventy gold coins!” Scout answered promptly.
“For what?” Asked the Delta, glaring at Scout.
“She’s from a good pedigree. She’s related to the Alpha of Apex Woods.”
“Is that true?” The Delta asked me.
Hope burned in my heart as I nodded my head repeatedly. “Yes. Alpha Barry Hunter is my uncle and I believe that I was brought here by mistake. You can send me back or simply send a message to my uncle to let him know that I was captured by this slave merchant here who is trying to make an obscene profit at my expense.”
“We’ll take her,” said the Delta. “Fifty gold coins and no more.”
“Deal!” Said Scout with a wide grin.
