Selene's POV

I sat on the stool, staring at my pale reflection in the mirror as the maids did their work on me. I let my thoughts travel back to the moment the alpha looked at me with disdain heavy in his eyes as he called me a powerless Omega.

All my life I had lived like a normal human amongst the peaceful people in the province of Australia. My family and I didn't want to look like outcasts so we all took a substance whose effects were only known by my father to keep us away from shifting into our wolves.

I barely know anything about my father as he wouldn't speak on anything concerning himself apart from the life we were used to in Australia. I was only 18 when my father told me about my wolf power but he mentioned nothing about me being an omega.

My step sister was a hybrid because her mother was human but I didn't know anything about my wolf rank and I never cared until now.

I was new to this life where people were judged according to their ranks and treated as trash and the part that I was a pet to my mate was crazy.

“We are done, miss.” One of the maids announced, interrupting my thoughts.

Raising my gaze, I found myself transfixed by the stunning woman staring back at me in the mirror. The transformation from my usual self to this enchanting figure left me in awe.

The door creaked open, and a palpable aura filled the room as the alpha entered. The maids bowed their heads, paying obeisance to their alpha.

“Leave us.” His voice was grave but the maids heard him loud and clear. They carried their tools and sauntered out of the room, leaving me to the mercy of the alpha.

I shifted my attention to the elegant dress I was adorned in, tracing its intricate patterns with my fingers. Sensing his presence behind me, I tensed, I shot my head backwards, gulping at his towering height covering the whole of my back.

"What's your name?" His voice, though grave, held a hint of curiosity as he brushed his fingers into my hair, studying me intently.

I hesitated, torn between revealing my true identity and maintaining the facade. "Selene," I murmured, meeting his gaze through the mirror.

"Why did you agree to come here? Did you need money urgently? And which pack do you belong to?" He bombarded me with questions catching me off guard.

It made me realize how he thought of me. To him I was a poor lady that needed money urgently and ended up selling myself to the devil.

“You answer me when I ask a question.” He vibrated, making me almost jump out of my skin.

Fear leapt into my chest and I sat perched to the stool as I thought of how to answer him.

His probing gaze made me lose my courage and I struggled to find my voice. Before I could respond, he silenced me with a dismissive gesture.

“I know your kind, I'm ashamed to even consider you as my mate let alone a woman.”he declared,his words cutting through the air.

I shot him a surprised look and he shifted back, his face wearing a frown that revealed he never wanted to let it out.

A new strength engulfed me and I found myself rising to his height. “What did you say?”

So all this while he knew.

His laughter filled the room, tinged with bitterness. "Why are you so surprised? Perhaps you've been disconnected from your wolf for too long."

"I haven't severed ties with my wolf—”

“Then why can't I sense it within you? You are human without your wolf and your scent is fading away with it, what kind of life did you lead?”

I stared at him for a while. “Why should I tell you about my life when I know nothing about yours?” the courage to become defensive crawled into me.

He arched an eyebrow, closing the distance between us. "Because I own you. You're merely one of my possessions, subject to my whims.”

A dark glint flickered in his eyes, sending a shiver down my spine. "No, I came here to work..." My voice faltered, realization dawning upon me.

I'd been deceived, betrayed by the ones I kept close.

I was right all along, the money I saw those men giving my stepmom was what she got paid for selling me off.

The sudden closeness of the alpha reminded me of my reality, his breath brushing against my face as he leaned close, he whispered, "You belong to me now, my dear. A plaything, a slave to my desires."

Tears rolled down my eyes as I shook my head, denying the possibility of his words.

“No! That can't be, I was sold out of my will, this isn't right.” I cried, stepping backwards in denial.

“Nothing is fair in life and you my lovely mate are bound to me for life.” His mocking tone echoed in the room, sealing my fate in his hands.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I sobbed silently, soiling my make up. The alpha didn't seem to care about me, he abandoned me to grab a seat, staring quietly at me.

“Take off your dress, slowly and touch yourself.” He said simply, his hand under his chin as he stared at me.

I didn't hesitate and obeyed his instructions. I wasn't new to this life, and if stripping was why he wanted from me so be it.

Slowly, I clipped off the hook that held the dress together at my back and pulled it down my legs, it got to my hips and was about to fall off when he clicked his fingers.

“Now dip your hands into your panties and—” his voice trailed off as I gently dipped my hands inside my panties touching myself.

I grunted inwardly at the dark desire flocking around his eyes. I hated the fact that I was obeying his every instruction but that was the life I was used to.

I continued to touch myself waiting upon his next instruction but nothing came so I stopped, letting the dress fall down my legs.

That seemed to have angered him as the next thing he did was flung out of his seat, taking daring steps towards me.

My breath hung under my throat as I feared his wrath, he grabbed my hand and turned me around in a way my back was against him, tracing his fingers down my spine. His head pushed across my neck, suckling it.

His touch was so intense and I couldn't keep up with his pace, suddenly he turned to face me and pushed towards my boobs, sniffing them.

His fingers dug into my flesh causing me to groan in pain, desire scattered in my eyes as I felt his boner, I was suddenly loving the feel of him when he released me from his grasp, stepping aside as though cured from the madness.

I shot him a disappointed look but he turned around and left, leaving me to the darkness of the room.
