Chapter 1
Beta Hemingway resounded a slap on my face, making me fall on the floor helplessly. I grunted in agony, feeling as if my soul had left my body.
"How dare you go against my will? I am selling you to Alpha Damon and that's final! You can’t do anything about it neither can your freaking late father do anything!” Beta Hemingway added just after he slapped me.
" No, Father. Please don't sell me out to this man, I beg of you" I struggled to say on the floor as tears let down my sullen face.
"Mummy, please beg him for me" I caught my foster mum's legs on the floor as she was passing by and begged but it seemed all my tears did not compromise. She kicked me away with her legs, hissed, and then walked away.
My own mother always hated me for reasons I knew nothing about even before the death of my father but I never knew it was as poignant as this.
"You are nothing but a bastard in this family, you are not worthy to be called the Beta's daughter, I think you deserve a place like hell" Tanya, my step-sister spilled hot and poured me a vanilla drink on the floor.
I and Tanya were friends from diapers not until she grew up to see that I am more beautiful than her. She also hated the fact that fine he-wolves always wanted to come around me anytime we went out together. She was almost invisible to guys anytime we walked together.
" I have collected your price, Elena, so forget about these crocodile tears of yours, in no distant time you would be in Alpha Damon’s chamber. Go and pack your load, those dirty clothes of yours and get ready" Beta Hemingway added before he left me.
I was left in pain on the floor. I cried bitterly as my situation loomed over my head. My nervousness was heightened by the fact that I was sold to a cruel, manipulative, and evil Alpha king of the Crescent moon pack.
Beta Hemingway was my stepfather. He never loved me as his stepdaughter. Well, I don't blame him because my so-called mother also hated me. I was more or less like a slave in a house built with my father's hard-earned money. I could say that the greatest mistake of my late father was marrying his mate, my mum. And this is one of the reasons why I hated the mate theory.
I was sold out to Alpha Damon of the Crescent Moon pack all in the name of an arranged marriage and my mum wasn't saying anything about it. It seemed I was inconveniencing them in the house because everybody in the house welcomed Beta Hemingway's selfish decision with open arms.
Who doesn't know Alpha Damon? Almost every wolf knew him. His evil works and selfish desires made him popular all over the country. No She-wolf would pray to have an evil mate like Alpha Damon . His gruesome act had denied ladies from marrying him because the dream of every lady was to settle comfortably in her mate's chamber. Technically, with what I've said you could say that I was sold from a frying pan to a ravaging fire.
Well, I had no option but to comply with the will of my stepfather. I took it as my fate. It was hard to believe but here it was happening to me.
A few minutes later, some vehicles rode into our chamber. The sound of vehicles and the blaring signals tells that it could be Alpha Damon of the Crescent moon pack.
I stood up from the floor and peeped through the window to see Alpha Damon Exchanging pleasantries with Beta Hemingway and my mum. I wiped off my tears so as not to appear weak before this cruel Alpha king.
I went inside my room to change my crop top that had been drenched by Tanya's vanilla and packed my items of luggage. I was ready to face anything coming my way. I didn't care if it were death as much as it would make my wicked family happy.
Alpha Damon Stepped into our chamber and saw me seated on an iron chair and just before I greeted him Beta Hemingway said, "That's Elena, the girl you bought"
" Good, turn around let me see what you got," Alpha Damon said and gestured followed by a crooked smile.
Tanya and my mum were there dashing out fledged chortles as I was told to turn around. " I think you will like her, sir," Tanya whispered.
" She has a big butt and flat waist line, she must be a good breeder" My mum added jokingly amidst murmurs.
I turned around, showing my big side and the curvy shape that I got hesitatingly, but not without trepidation.
" Good, this is exactly what I want. You did a nice job, Beta Hemingway, I like her so much" Alpha Damon Said with an evocative smile.
" I will always get you something nice, my king," Beta Hemingway responded with a bright chortle.
Alpha Damon gestured at his bodyguards and they came inside our chamber and picked up my items of luggage one after the other.
They motioned me out of the chamber to where their cars were halted in a car parking slot behind our rose garden.
" Elena, are you leaving us?" Little Caesar held the tip of my gown and asked bewilderedly.
" No, I am coming back" I caressed his chubby cheeks and said yet I couldn't control my tears.
Little Caesar was the last born who always supports me in anything I do. He was just a twelve years old boy who had always aspired to shift into his wolf at eighteen. I would have loved to see him turn into the fierce and brave wolf he wanted to become but things had an unexpected turn.
He was brave and strong like his father, Beta Hemingway but not wicked like him.
" Caesar she doesn't belong here" Tanya pulled his hand away from my gown.
I entered the car where Alpha Damon was bearing and looked at my late father's chamber for the last time before the ignition was switched on.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
