Chapter 1: Fifty Thousand Dollars

Natasha was ready to display for the auction in front of different men. Tears streamed from her face when she felt horrified about what she was doing. Fear crawls over her body, prickling Natasha's skin. Fear chilled her heart when her eyes fixated to those men in front of her. Her trembling knees would make her fall to her feet.

Natasha wanted to back out and didn't want to continue the auction when a bullet of panic rose in her throat, overthinking that one of those men would take advantage of her innocence. Natasha already feels disgusted about herself even though they haven't started yet. She didn't want this job. Selling never crossed her mind before despite their poverty. However, this is all about her sister. Despite how horrified she was now, Natasha forced herself to pretend emotionless and calmed in front of them. Her twin sister was in the hospital undergoing an operation and she was needing money to pay her bills. Natasha thinks that the only way for her debts to be paid was to sell herself to men.

“Fifty thousand dollars.”

Natasha lifted her head when she heard those three words from a male baritone voice. The moment that her gaze laid to that man, she was shocked when she met his enigmatic eyes. But what stuns her, the man who offered fifty thousand dollars was the ruthless billionaire Alpha of their town; Alpha Reid West. She could feel her knees trembling by that thought.

“Fifty thousand dollars now closed. She was all yours, Alpha Reid.” Bethany, the event organizer said while giggling. She's happy because of the big amount that the alpha offers to have Natasha.

“That's unfair!” Natasha's gaze turns toward the man who dared to complain. He was the only man who stood up and disagreed.

“Do you have a problem about that, Asshole?”

The Alpha speaks and the man suddenly falls to the ground which stunned Natasha.

“I apologize, Alpha Reid, because I didn't recognize you.”

It can be seen from the man's tone that he feared the Alpha that much when he realized that it's the ruthless Alpha.

“He must be an idiot for attacking the Alpha,”

“Didn't he recognize that the man he was shouting earlier is the ruthless Alpha?”

"It's the end of his life. Alpha Reid West is a ruthless Alpha!“

Commotions from the customers could be heard all over the place because of Alpha Reid. Natasha realized that everyone really knows about Alpha Reid West. They all know that he was a ruthless alpha.

“Do not mess with me again,”

Silence atop inside the place when the Alpha throws those scary words toward the man. The way they shut their mouths after the Alpha spoke, makes Natasha's heart thumped so fast. His words send a brusque of shock right through her.

“This will never happen again, Alpha Reid.”

The poor man replied but Alpha Reid is not paying attention to him because his enigmatic eyes turned at her.

“You are mine now, mate," Natasha was stunned in her direction upon hearing those words from him. The way he speaks to her, it was as if her legs were trembling in fear.

She also can't believe that Alpha Reid calls her mate, and she can't stop to ask in her mind, "How that happens?"

“She will be yours, Alpha Reid but give us the money first. This woman is fresh and you will be the first one to own her.” Alpha Reid turned his gaze toward the event organizer who blurted out those words.

“Here's my bank card. Fifty thousand dollars is there already. I will wait for her in the VIP room.”

But before the alpha left, he turned his head to Natasha and said, “You're not going to escape, Lady. My eyes were on you.”

The strand of her hair stood on both ends because of what he just said to her.

“Y…yes, Alpha.” She replied, stuttering.

Alpha Reid had left already after she replied to him. Bethany faces her this time and Natasha's heart is pounding so fast inside of her chest.

“Don't worry about the bills of your twin sister. I will pay it as soon as possible when I get the money. This is your moment, Natasha. Pleased him and so, the Alpha would give you a tip. You must be thankful because Alpha Reid was the one who bought you. He was so handsome and… Hot.”

A smile curled on Natasha's lips after she heard those words from her best friend, Bethany. The woman is not just the event organizer but she was also her best friend.

“Thank you, Bethany. Please always check my twin sister. I have to go and I will return to you when I finish my job.” Bethany just nodded her head after Natasha told her those words. On the other hand, she can't stop worrying about her twin sister. Alpha Reid has been popular being a ruthless Alpha and he killed a lot as they tried to mess with him.

“Please be careful and I will call you always.”

She smiled because of the way that Bethany cares for her. Natasha kissed her cheeks first before she left. Her legs started trembling when she was already walking through where the VIP room was located. Natasha can't imagine that she will sell herself just for money and of all men, why Alpha Reid?

He was already owned by the alpha this time, and there is nothing she can do to change it.

“What took you so long?”

Natasha froze at her feet when someone grabbed her inside of the room and found out that it was Alpha Reid. She began swallowing her saliva many times after seeing him.

“Alpha Reid, you're here. I… I didn't notice you earlier.” She was stuttering in front of her and Natasha never thought that this would be the night where she must surrender her purity to the man who purchased her.

“You are sold to me and you must please me tonight. I wasted thousands of dollars just to have you, mate,”

Alpha Reid looked at her with his serious face and Natasha could feel the beats of her heart inside her ribcage.

“I am sold to you and I know that, Alpha Reid, but why are you calling me mate?"

She asked and then out of the blue, Alpha Reid grins at her.

“I just found out that you are my mate, and you should be with me, pleasing me everyday,” Natasha's mouth was agape upon hearing what the Alpha had mentioned to her.

“W…what do you mean by each day, Alpha Reid? I thought it was only one night?”

The Alpha's brows furrowed from what she had said to him.

“Are you kidding me? What do you think of me? I'm not a fool to spend my fifty thousand just for one night. Hilarious!” Natasha's tears fell to her eyes because of what the Alpha mumbled. She had already realized what the Alpha just said.

“Alpha Reid, please don't do this to me. I needed to return to my sister and if you want, I will make this night memorable for you. Just don't lock me into being with you in my entire life, and please don't make me your mate...”

Natasha is willing to do everything just to make him release her after the Alpha used her body. Alpha Reid just shook his head at her as he couldn't believe what was happening.

“That's right. You will spend your entire life with me because you are sold to me, Natasha, and also because you are my chosen mate,”

Those words she heard from him was like a bomb that exploded in front of her and destroyed her body, even her soul.
