“Ten thousand dollars,” a commanding voice suddenly announced, cutting through the murmur of the crowd like a knife. Kyra’s entire body seemed to jolt with electricity. She turned her head sharply towards the source of the voice, her eyes locking onto an Alpha. His presence was imposing, his eyes sharp and assessing. “Why did you buy me, especially for such a huge amount? There is no way you could possibly want me when I am carrying the child of another man. Wait…. You could not possibly want me because…” the last words remained stuck in Kyra’s throat. She swallowed thickly and dread curled in the pit of her stomach as she stared at the handsome face of a rumored ruthless Alpha Anton. Meeting your mate was a dream come true but for Kyra it was the beginning of an endless nightmare. Her fated mate was the alpha of the enemy’s pack and he used her to kill off her father and seize her pack under his control before he sold her off to anyone that will have her with his son still in her womb. Kyra could not understand why Alpha Anton would hit her for an exuberant amount when it was rumored that he hated women after his last mate fled with another man. Was it because he wanted to have her as a sex slave even when she was pregnant? Was he going to take out the anger of his first mate on her? Why did he look at her like he was going to kill yet kiss her?
