Synopsis
Battling the pain of loosing ones parents on the same day, was just something else. Since Ember was the oldest of three children with her being the only girl, she had to take up the responsibility of taking care of her siblings. After her parents were laid to rest in the holy forest, her once good uncle that pretended to love them, came back to claim all of her parents properties. As if that wasn't enough, he still went ahead to take them along, and also turn them into his slaves. Immediately Ember turned eighteen years old, it was expected that she would turn into a beautiful white wolf immediately, since she was the only person among her siblings that took after their ancestral trait, which was the white wolf. Unfortunately, she didn't turn as he had expected because she was a late shifter. Without even caring about what her fate would be, he wasted no time in selling her to a local emcee that sold her to Alpha Dino, in return. After Ember was sold in the auction to Alpha Dino, it was then that her actual nightmare began. She was subjected to live in hallucinations and uncertainty. Being overwhelmed by her desire to runaway from the castle in anyway possible, Ember was willing to give anything possible, just to make sure that it works out for her. After she had expressed her feelings to Lady Jade, the matron, she supported her and was also willing to give her all the necessary advice and she also went as far as giving her a map of how the whole castle looked like as that would help facilitate her escape. The whole plans keep moving positively, until one of the maidens who has always wanted the alpha to give her an attention, overheard them, and told the alpha about the whole matter. The alpha being overwhelmed with anger and rage, immediately stabbed his aunt on her right eye. He decided to chop her whole body off, until she finally gave up the ghost. At this point, Ember had given up on herself, as she knew that it would be an impossible journey for her to ever leave that castle, again. At this very moment, she gave up on the chances of her leaving the castle. As the days went by, Alpha Dino, intensified his wickedness and cruelty towards Ember, even to the extent that he tried to slice her belly open with a cutlass. He was only stopped on time by his friend, Alpha Jimmy, who came to discuss a business proposition with him. He sat Alpha Dino down, and tried to educate him about the dangers of what he was doing. Alpha Dino, misunderstood the whole issue, and asked him to leave his house. Since it was the first time that such a thing had happened between them, Alpha Jimmy swore that he would make sure that he saves Ember from the cruel grip of Alpha Dino. While Jimmy was trying to find a way to get Ember out of Alpha Dino's shackles of cruelty, Ember's curiosity led her into finding a huge library in the castle. There was a huge book at the center of the library. The book had ‘Death’ boldly inscripted in the book. Ember went ahead to check the contents of the book. The book contained the names of every single person which Alpha Dino had massacred. She was forced to go through all the names in the book and she came across her parent's names. All she has ever been told as a child was that her parents were killed in a car accident. But seeing their names there was certainly no coincidence. She decided to try and do some research to see if her hypothesis were correct. She asked Jimmy questions about the incident, but he claimed to have no idea. She did everything she could while remaining confined in the castle, but no effort seemed to prove worth it.

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER ONE

You might be familiar with those stories where a young girl is rejected, because she is tagged a wolf less girl. Well, that is not just my story. My name is Ember Fin, and I am an orphan.

I started living with my uncle after I lost my parents to a disastrous flood, that claimed many lives in my city. Till today, some say that it was the anger of the moon goddess upon the community, that made her destroy a lot of lives.

"Phew!" I sighed in frustration and weakness. For the past few days, I and some other late shifters who had been rejected and sold by their families, were jam-packed in a very small confinement. 

To make matters worst, we weren't given feed, and we were also treated like servants. What pained me the most was that my wicked uncle, had claimed every property my late parents had left behind.

Being dragged down the hallway in chains, I knew that it was the highest level of pain that my body could endure. 

"Would you walk very fast, you untamed rejects?" The wild man barked at us. It was very obvious that he was the emcee.

Well, we were all tired as a result of exhaustion and pain.

"My back... my back...!" I screamed in pain. One of the ruthless men standing behind me, had flogged my back with a painful whip. Even as I made to fall on the ground, I kept getting some more lashes all over my body.

Almost immediately, my whole body got covered in blood. The worst part of my dilemma, was that none of them cared about what they were doing to us. It was even very obvious that they were enjoying the pains that they were inflicting on us. 

In no time, we arrived at the hall. Throughout my journey on that chain, I could only cry in pain, and also call on the moon goddess to come and take me away, just like the way that she claimed my parents. 

We got to the hall, and we met the presence of an audience, that I later discovered were mostly Alphas, who came to look for younger and fresher blood that they would prey on.

All my body was sore, and I irked of fresh blood and rotten meat. Obviously, from my untreated wounds.

"So, I promised you'll a spectacular display, today." The emcee began, and I stared at him in disgust.

Their were over give of thirty of us on that chain, that had been bounded legs and hands together. At that very sight, I had witnessed some who passed away.

"Looking at these young bloods, I know that it'd be a tough decision to make. Let's start from the first person!" He said, and they started bidding on the price that she would be sold at.

Although my vision was actually blurry, and I was also the last person on the line, and I could clearly see how everything was going. 

Soon, like a movie, I was just the last remaining. 

There I laid on the ground in a helpless manner, I cried unto the moon goddess with the fear that she might have deserted me. 

With so much hate in me, I cursed each of the men sitting in the audience. I couldn't explain how they derived joy in preying on the vulnerability of young girls.

"She is the last girl remaining, and obviously the most beautiful of them all." The emcee started again. This time, he was obviously talking about me. 

Each passing second, I would notice the impatience in the eyes of those men. Their eyes were filled with both lust and also evil.

"I hate you." I cursed at him, but I was silenced with an ear deafening punch that almost shattered my brain.

"You cursed animal!" He spat at me. 

At this point, I had given up already, and I was just hoping that the worst wouldn't happen.

To think that I was being manhandled by this man, and none of them could ever help me.

"Mere looking at her, you'd know that she is very fertile. She will definitely fill your home with plenty wolf babies." The emcee said, and they whole audience started laughing at me, again.

I was just so pained.

Here I was, sitting down in front of an audience of men who loved to capitalize on the weaknesses of others. 

The most annoying part of it was that they were actually laughing like drunk fools who had lost their minds. In all honesty, I actually didn't find anything funny in all the naughty jokes that they were making.

"You'll will suffer and die in hell. Karma will come after all of you." I cried out in frustration, and the response was another round of laughter.

What was funny to them?

Why did they find it funny?

"You'll be the first to die." One of the guards fired back at me, and dashed towards me with a sword.

"Stop!" the voice of the emcee, echoed across the entire building. "Do not tamper with this commodity. Remember that if she has any scar, her market value would also reduce as well." He yelled at the guard, and he drew back immediately.

What would have happened if he didn't hold that boy back?

Where has their conscience gone to?

"So, who is making the first bid?" He asked the audience.

"Twenty thousand dollars!" A deep baritone voice shouted from the back of the audience.

"Fifty thousand..." Another intercepted him.

"One hundred thousand dollars..." Another. 

Yet, another, until a shocking incident happened. 

A voice that sounded more superior to the rest mentioned a figure, and the auditorium went into a long murmur.

"Ten million dollars." The voice muttered, and the whole attention turned to him. Everyone wanted to see who it was. Well, the emcee didn't waste any time, before declaring the auction, closed.

I stared in uncertainty, as I didn't have any idea, about any drama that was even happening at the moment.

"Sold to Alpha Roman Moscow!" The emcee mumbled under his breathe, and dashed off the stage with immediate effect like someone who had seen a ghost.
