Sold To The Scarred Alpha

MALIYA

“What… do you…mean?” I stuttered, still trying to understand what was going on here and what Kane meant.

“She’s beautiful. How old is she?” Alpha Xander asked.

“She’s twenty years old,” Kane replied, ignoring my questions.

“Hmm. Perfect. Just the perfect age.” Alpha Xander remarked, still scrutinizing me from head to toe.

“Fair skin, pretty fair, hazel eyes.” He remarked.

There was something off about him. I didn’t like him. I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

“I…”

“You will shut up and you will obey me, is that understood?” Kane snapped, sending chills down my spine from fear of how his voice sounded.

“As you can see, she is beautiful and I promise that you won’t regret it if you buy her from me. She can do anything you want. She can serve you in all aspects,” Kane said to Alpha Xander.

Alpha Xander stared at me with a smirk on his face.

“Spin around,” he said to me.

“Come on, go ahead. Do not make him repeat himself. Spin around,” Kane said through his teeth.

I felt embarrassed by how he was treating me in front of another but I did as told. I spun around with tears threatening to stream down my cheek.

“She will do. So what is this favor that you want from me?” Alpha Xander asked.

Just then someone walked in. “Alpha, there is something I must tell you.”

“One minute, Alpha Xander said to us before walking to speak to the man who asked for his attention.

“Kane… what are you doing? I am not your slave. I am your mate,” I spoke up, wanting to remind him of who I am to him.

Kane scoffed, turning to look at me with a blank expression on his face. “You promised to do anything that I asked, didn’t you?”

I was reminded of my promise to him. “Yes I did but I didn’t agree to accepting being called your slave.” I remarked.

“I am your mate,” I reminded him.

“No.” He replied.

“No?” I was taken aback.

“You were my mate.” He uttered firmly, now turning to look at me.

“What…do you mean by that?” I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“It is as I said Maliya. YOU. WERE. MY. MATE.” He repeated, making emphasis on his words.

My heart was already aching from the situation I was yet to comprehend and now he was saying this to me?

“If this is your way of punishing me then I’d apologize again. Just please tell me it’s a joke,” I pleaded.

Kane chuckled. “And why do you think so?”

“I’m sorry Kane. I told you I’d get better. I thought you said you’ve forgiven me? Please Kane,” I pleaded, tears streaming down my cheek profusely.

“You can cry for eternity and I wouldn’t give a damn because my mind is already made up, Maliya. Don’t you get it? You have nothing to offer me. You only bring bad luck to whoever is with you. You are not fit to be with anyone. You suck at everything. You don’t even have a wolf! Your présence is sickening. I tried tolerating you but it’s not just possible anymore and I cannot do it.” He uttered exasperatedly.

“And selling me off will do what exactly?” I questioned in tears.

I felt the knot in my stomach tightened as my heart burned.

A mischievous grin formed on his face. “Yes, selling you off will do me a huge favor. I will finally get what I want.”

“Listen and listen carefully Maliya because I won’t be repeating myself…” he trailed off, locking eyes with mine.

“I, Kane Hales, son of Alpha Marcus Hales and Isabel Hales, reject you, Maliya Scott as my mate.”

Ouch!

My chest tightened. My stomach churned. I suddenly forgot to breathe. It felt as if every part of my body stopped functioning at that moment.

I waited for him to burst into a fit of laughter and tell me that he was kidding but the look on his face doesn’t seem to convince me

It wasn’t a nightmare. It was real. Kane had just openly rejected me as his mate and had. sold me off to another claiming that I was his slave.

I opened my mouth to speak but my voice failed me.

“You… you don’t mean it, do you?” I managed to speak, struggling to breathe.

I felt pain in my chest. It burns my heart like a flaming fire.

Alpha Xander returned just then.

“As I was saying earlier, she is now mine, right? Since you’ve sold her to me,” he stated.

“She’s yours to have,” Kane replied assuringly.

My knees gave up on me that moment I fell to the floor. It hurts. Everything hurts. It hurts because not only has he rejected me but he sold me off to another.

This was the highest level of betrayal. Just what have I done to deserve such from him?

Tears streamed down my check in pain. I felt numb to all that was happening around me. Kane continued to speak to Alpha Xander

“We shall speak again Prince Kane and when we do, I look forward to hearing what you want in return,” Alpha Xander said to Kane.

I looked at Kane with pain and anger in me. He actually sold me off. Kane knelt on one of his knees as he looked at me without emotions or remorse.

“It would be in your best interest if you act nicely and be the good girl that you are. Alpha Xander isn’t a nice man. You wouldn’t want to see the bad side of him so soon, would you?” He smiled mischievously at me before standing back on his feet.

“You don’t have to worry about her. She is a good girl and she will serve you well,” Kane said to Alpha Xander before walking away.

I watched his retreating step. Every step he took only made me realize that it wasn’t a nightmare. It was real and he had indeed sold me off and rejected me.

The pain was more than I could take. I have never been this hurt in my life before. I have never been treated well by people. I have been looked down on. I’ve been called names. I’ve been beaten and mocked by the members of the pack before and as much as it hurts, none were compared to the pain I felt.

My father hates me. He calls me the fruit of his mismanagement. My stepmother hates me, she calls me a misfortune as that’s what I carry with me.

My step–sister despises me, she calls me a thief and a slut. No one wanted to associate with me and they constantly reminded me that it was my birth that killed

my mother.

They called me the girl who brought bad luck wherever she went. When I discovered that I was mated to the Prince of my pack, I honestly didn’t know what to expect but he accepted me.

His mother, the second wife of our Alpha, loved me. For the first time in my life, I thought that maybe things were finally going right.

Each time Kane was angry with me, I made sure to plead with him. I couldn’t lose him. I did whatever it was I could to please him. Losing him would mean I truly had no luck with me and so I did my best.

Even if I wasn’t wrong, I begged. All I did was beg, begging to be in this relationship, begging to be accepted but in the end, it only made it worse.

He sold me off and rejected me without batting his eyes. He walked away from me without looking back to check if I was alright. He never cared. It was all in my head because the truth was, he never cared about me or how I felt.

“Get up. We have to leave soon,” Alpha Xander said.

“Don’t make me repeat myself. We will have to leave now if we want to be in the pack house before tomorrow night. Alpha Xander won’t be pleased if we return late,” he added, making me confused.

“What do you mean?” I asked the man frantically.

He chuckled. He took off the eye patch from his eyes before speaking. “I am not the real Alpha Xander. I am his double. I’m the one that goes to places on his behalf. Oh well, that’s a secret only a few people know and now you know it.”

No wonder I felt something was off about him.

a, help her get up so we can leave. We cannot delay anymore,” Alpha Xander double said.

A lady came towards me. “Hey. Can you stand?” She asked softly, her voice shaking.

I didn’t know how to feel. My emotions were all over the place. I have been sold. The thought filled my head and I couldn’t do anything about it.

“You don’t want to make Lord Williams angry. Get up,” she said to me.

“Williams is his name?” I asked her, referring to the Alpha Xander double.

“Yes, that’s his name. Do not call him without his title. He is not a forgiving man,” she whispered.

“Who is Alpha Xander?” I couldn’t help but ask.

If this man wasn’t Alpha Xander then who was he and how is he?

“You mean you’ve never heard of him before?” She asked and I shook my head.

She looked around as if wanting to know if there was anyone a

“Alpha Xander is known as the scarred Alpha. He is Vicious, merciless, and unapproachable. He is someone you don’t want to offend. He is known as the Alpha of Alpha’s. I cannot tell you anything more for I’m afraid that if I say too much then I might lose my life,” she replied in a whisper whilst looking around to make sure that no one heard her.

My heart sank. “Just what have I done to deserve this?”

“Claudia!” Williams shouted.

“We have to go now,” she said to me, pulling me along with her.
