She knew that corridor, she walked it many times but the room behind that door was still a mystery. It was afternoon and the light illuminated the spacious room creating a cozy atmosphere. The walls were covered with elegant wallpaper there were three large sofas and three more armchairs. Next to the window was a little table with some fresh flowers inside. Arya noticed that in a flash but what was more important she saw seven men sitting there. Personally she knew only one, Mr Kane who was smiling a little. The remaining six were total strangers. They were all Alphas she could sense a mixture of different pheromones floating in the air. The man sitting the closest to her was pretty young he had that dominant expression on his face, short brown hair and amber eyes. He was wearing fancy clothes and probably was looking for an Omega as a side lover to enjoy in his free time. Next one was older he had dark hair and his eyes were almost black he looked strict, sitting stiffly on the sofa looking at her judging her every move. Than there was Mr Kane, close to a plump guy with receding hair and a look that made her shiver, that Alpha can't win her. A little bit further was another man in his fifties elegant with short wavy blond hair. He looked calm, he might be a good option. Opposite him was a man with shoulder long black hair and a scar at the side of his cheek. He was clad in black. The last one was all smiles, hard to say how old he was but looked handsome with dark blond curly hair and lot's of rings on his hands. He was wearing colorful clothes, matching and elegant but making him stand out. He must be a pimp. So a brothel was also possible. Should she pick one? Mr Kane was a well known option, he would be safe. That was her first thought. Maybe that other blond guy. Definitely not the plump one or the pimp. Her thoughts were stopped by Mr Xavier's entrance.
"Gentlemen, this is Arya. As you know from the information given this young Omega will become seventeen in two weeks or so. She is well educated, can read, write and she plays the piano well. As all our Omegas she comes with a certificate from the doctor Harrison, confirming virginity. She has been trained to be obedient Omega and how to please her Alpha." Mr Xavier turned round and looked at her.
"Now Arya walk around the room."
Arya felt like a little well trained puppy, turning around slowly walking around the room giving every Alpha a chance to look at her from a closer distance. She looked everyone in the eyes trying to guess who will be able to pay most for her. She honestly hoped it won't be the plump guy or the pimp. Now she had to make them feel her pheromones, so she did a sweet smell filled the room.
"Hmm that's nice." Said the plump guy enjoying her smell.
Ill luck, Arya thought. Than she moved to the piano standing in the corner. She sad down gracefully and touched the exquisite instrument. She has never played on this one, it was well tuned she could her it after playing only a few tunes. She has chosen a classical piece and put her heart into it. The music made her forget where she was, she closed her eyes and played. She played for herself, to feel the music, her freedom. To celebrate who she was not what they wanted to do out of her. As soon as she finished and the music quieten she heard a small applause, than Mr Xavier stepped in again.
"Well gentlemen, as you could see this is really a fine example of an Omega. A little gem, coming from a noble family. She's still young and she can be trained to suit your taste. The first bidding, starts at 50 golden coins." Mr Xavier smiled. Arya knew the price was high and wondered who will be rich enough to keep up with headmaster's expectations. Men were bidding, the price went up quickly, soon reaching 95 golden coins. Unfortunately Mr Kane stopped bidding at 83 golden coins. Mr Xavier was excited, greed was lurking out of his eyes.
"Well gentlemen I'm glad you are exited, to give you some treat and allow you to make up your mind for the final purchase. Arya strip."
Arya lowered her head and took a deep breath. Fuck, she knew it would come but doing it that was something different. She slowly reached for the buttons on her back.
"No need." She heard from the side. 'I'll give hundred and fifty golden coins." The air was sucked out from Mr Xavier's lungs.
"Sir that's a generous offer, is anybody going to bid higher? Arya I told you to strip." He commanded her again.
"I said before, there is no need. Is anyone going o pay more?"
There was silence.
"Good, than it is done. I don't want anyone to lay his eyes on what's mine. Get the girl ready and make her wait in my carriage."
Arya gulped, she was kind of thankful for it. Her new owner saved her from the humiliation of standing butt naked in front of all that Alphas. Mr Kane with gloomy expression left the room along with others. Her new owner left to settle the payment and Arya followed a young Beta servant to the door. She was given a wide cape. She walked slowly down the main stairs. The stairs were uneven and one had to be careful while stepping. She stopped for a moment and turned back looking at he ugly gray old building. Through the window on the second floor she could see some faces. Arya waved at them and they responded. That was all the goodbye she could get. The carriage pulled by four horses was waiting in front of the gate. The carriage doors were opened and she sad down. She was waiting. The inside of the carriage was upholstered with red velvet. It looked expensive. The guy must be rich otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford her. Her thoughts were swirling, she was afraid. The guy seemed to be determined to buy her and unwilling for anyone to see her naked. He seemed to be possessive. She could only hope he won't lock her up. Arya still had in mind her plan B. If it turns out bad she will escape, she knew how to survive on the street Phil toughed her. She clenched her hands. Soon she heard steps, someone was approaching the carriage. The door went open and the man stepped in. He sat down, knocked with a cane and they moved.
