Chapter 17
Avery
Although the moon goddess tried to convince me that my second chance mate would be great, I don’t
think my second chance mate would be as good as the father of my children.
Instinctively, I knew this fact deep down in my soul.
I don’t know why I was picking this stranger over my second chance mate. I don’t know if it is because I
had slept with him.
I would prefer him to someone unknown.
As I was thinking, I did not know when I fell asleep.
A cold splash of water woke me up and I sprung to my feet in anger.
I wanted to teach the person that spilled water on me a lesson but a bout of weakness sent me back to
a crouching position.
I had forgotten about the armband on my wrist.
With it on my wrist, I would not be able to do anything I want. I would remain a prisoner that would be at
the mercy of my captors.
That thought did not sit well with me but I endured.
The moon goddess did not teleport me directly to the omega warriors’ camp because she wanted me to
grow through trials and tribulations.
If I can settle a matter myself, I would prefer not to ask the moon goddess for help.
Unless my situation reaches the point of life and death, I would try to get out of my predicament on my
own.
I need all the experience I can get because only the evil go d, Daemon would be happy to see me
remain without combat experience.
Without experience, I would be a sitting duck, ready for him to sla ughter.
I would love to grow stronger in all the ways I can because I want to be able to protect those I love and
at the same time, I did not want to
disappoint the moon goddess’s expectations in me.
“Look at that angry look in her eyes, she wants to attack me.” A feminine voice sneered.
The tone of the voice was grating to my ears.
I parted the hair obstructing my eyes while making sure that my hair still covered the remaining parts of
my face.
I must not forget to keep my face away from my captors. It would save me from unnecessary troubles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA lady in trousers and a red strapless top came into my sight. Her right hand held a metal bucket. The
metal bucket was still dripping with water.
When she saw that I was only staring at her, she shoved me.
My body crashed to the floor.
I wasn’t supposed to be this weak even if I was poisoned but my pregnancy contributed to the lethargy
I was feeling.
“Stop staring at me like that. Do you want me to remove your eyes for
you? Your future life would then be harder than ever before.” She smirked as she looked down at me
from her standing position.
I labeled her as stu pid in my head.
She was having fun playing boss to somebody that had already been weakened with their drug.
I had vowed not to take bullying again but here I was, bowing down to my unfortunate circumstances.
She should try this things she was doing when I regain my strength. I would show her who is boss if
she manages to try and bully me then.
I observed my surroundings.
The dark room I was imprisoned in was bigger than I had expected and I wasn’t the only person held
here.
There was six other people imprisoned here with me and they were all girls.
Excluding me, two other girls had armbands on their wrists so they had to be werewolves. With the
armband, my sense of smell had been weakened considerably so I had to depend on the armbands on
the girls’ wrist to guess their race. The other four girls had chains on their leg connecting their shackles
to the wall of the room.
The woman that held the metal bucket threw a key towards the human girls chained to the wall and the
girls scrambled to unlockntheir shackles.
am Aria, you guys should follow me to the place you are going to take your bath. You stink.” Aria
instructed and she did not wait for us to reply before she matched out of the room.
Aria was the person that poured chilly water on me.
A glance at the other girls showed me that I was not an exception. All of them dripped with water and
the sound of the water hitting the floor remained constant.
Aria had splashed water on them too.
“You people want me to drag you out?!” Aria’s shrill voice came from outside the room and everybody
began to shuffle out.
Without knowing the situation clearly, I was going to follow the orders they give me.
Following orders is not a new thing for me because it is what I always do in my former pack.
I was the last to go out.
The bright sunshine blinded me for a second and I took a moment to get…… used to the light.
I looked back at the entrance we came out from and I saw two burly men standing guard. The guards
were holding guns.
Escaping was out of the option for the prisoners because all the girls that was held in the room,
including me was weak.
If we tried to fight our way out or escape, we would be at a disadvantage against the guards with
ammunition to assist them.
By the ruthless look in the guards’ eyes, they were willing to kill one of us to warn the others.
All of us followed Aria as stably as we could.
Strength wasn’t in our body right now but Aria was not willing to be understanding.
She continued her way to the place we were going to take our bath with hurried steps.
Finally, we got to a winding river.
For a moment, the thought of jumping into the water and swimming away came to my mind but I
discarded the thought.
For this people to bring us here, they had to have enough confidence to keep us obedient.
I was right.
My eyes wept my surroundings and I saw three burly men holding guns
patrolling the riverside.
The guards here had two types of ammunition.
One was the normal guns humans use. Alpha Bryan had one in his precious collection. The other type
was made in a way that the bottom part of the gun was connected to a tube containing pink liquid.
I felt a dangerous sensation when I looked at the pink liquid.
If I was not mistaken, the pink liquid was what I was drugged with. It was a bane for werewolves.
The guards’ eyes observed us like an eagle evaluating its meal. Our every action was in their sights.
Aria left us and went to one of the guards. The two of them began speaking on hushed voices.
“Enter the river and wash away your filth!” Arai said as s
she turned to us. A glare was on her face when she saw that none of us moved to take a bath.
“Please, let me go. My father has a lot of money, he will pay you handsomely.” A girl spoke up. She had
red hair the color of fire and her black eyes glistened with water.
She was very beautiful.
Aria snorted, “We don’t need your money. Besides, I don’t think your father has enough money to pay
us as ransom. If you behave properly, your future would be paved with riches that your father can not
even dream of having.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTears welled in the eyes of the girl that asked to be released and she bowed her head. She didn’t
speak again.
She silently went into the river.
All of us joined her in the river.
From Arise
words, these people are going to give us to rich men.
The only people I know that are sold to the highest bidders are sla ves.
My heart dropped. Our captors are going to sell us as sl aves to whoever offers them the highest
benefits or wealth.
No wonder these guards were watching over us carefully. We were their tickets to more riches and
connections. They would never let us go.
A splash sounded and I was brought out of my reverie.
A girl was swimming as fast as an aquatic animal towards the other side
of the river. An armband glinted on her exposed wrist as she swam with all her might.
She was a werewolf.
She had an unassuming appearance so she did not stand out. It was when she took action that we
noticed her.
I watched her escape with unblinking eyes. I was going to use her as case study. Her situation was
similar to minè, if she successfully escapes, it means I could do it too.
Aria frowned, “Get her!”
A guard acted swiftly and he ran after her with his gun raised. When he was meters away from her, he
pulled the trigger of his gun and a jet of pink liquid flew out of the muzzle of his gun towards the
escaping shewolf.
She dodged the strike but the water she was swimming in took the brunt. Since she was swimming in
the water that had been contaminated with the pink liquid, she began to slow down.
I knew the poison was already taking her strength away.
The guard moved closer before he fired another jet of the pink liquid at her.
This one hit her square in the face and her actions weakened till they stopped totally.
She began to sink.
“You, go and drag her to shore.”Aria instructed one of the human girls that was washing in the river.
Only humans wouldn’t be affected by the effects of the pink concoction so Aria sent a human girl to
retrieve the sinking shewolf.
I sighed heavily.
It is as I thought, escape would be a very hard task.
