He looked up, and my heart nearly stopped. It was Jatix. What the hell washedoing here?
I thought we had an amazing time at the ball, but I thought we had a connection. A little bit of sadness flowed through me.Why was he here?Maybe he was looking for a maid to press his fancy suits.
He looked in my direction, and instantly, our gazes locked on one another.
My heart started beating erratically.
I shook my head to convey to him that he shouldn’t purchase me. I didn’t want him. He had met me when I was a doctor, and now I was in an auction. It was way too humiliating, and I didn’t want to explain how I got into this situation.
He smiled softly with pity in his eyes, and I quickly looked away.
I was trapped here, chained to other omegas, and it was soon going to be my turn to be put up.

JATIX
Iknew exactly who I wanted.
This was the last place I expected the cute omega doctor to be. My soul lifted, and every look we shared made my dick dance.
“It’s her,” whispered Darius beside me. I knew she affected him the same way by the way he looked at her, awestruck.
“What the fuck is she doing here?” I said out loud. She looked away from me, and I caught her slight headshake.Did she not want me?Why was she evading me?
“No idea.”
We had been talking about this omega ever since we had both seen her at the ball. I was glad Darius saw her for himself. He understood the allure that I was talking about. I couldn’t stop talking about her until Silus was fed up with me. She looked absolutely splendid standing up on that stage.Who the fuck would put her up for auction?She wasn’t ugly in any way, and she was an accomplished omega. I didn’t understand.
But I knew one thing.
There was no way in hell I’d let another alpha purchase her. She was going to be mine. I was going to fight tooth and nail for that girl.
She was scared, and her eyes darted nervously toward me every once in a while. She was nowhere close to the funny, spicy girl I had met yesterday with the quick wit. Her demeanor was off today. It was as if she had reached a breaking point in her life. I vowed to myself that I would do everything in my power to learn everything about her. And to make her happy.
“Up next. Keera!” shouted the auctioneer, walking over to her on stage. He waved his hat towards her, bringing attention to her ample breasts. “The bidding starts!”
“One thousand!” someone called out.
“Three thousand!” said another.
“Six thousand!” I roared. But it didn’t end there. It was fierce, and the alphas kept making the bids higher and higher until I shouted, “twenty-five thousand!”
Everyone gasped, and the auctioneer looked around to see if anyone else had a counteroffer.
“Going once! Going twice! Sold to the Lustfur Pack!” said the auctioneer, untying the chains around Keera’s ankles. “That was the biggest sale in five years, I have to say.”
Yes, she was mine now under the law- there was no way I would lose her this time.

KEERA
Icouldn't believe it.
I was shaking as the auctioneer removed the chain from my ankle. I didn’t know how to feel about this. Suddenly, I felt like my thoughts and actions weren’t mine anymore. I was someone’s property. I could smell my orange scent as I was sweating profusely.
“Congratulations! You’re part of the Lustfur Pack,” said the auctioneer, walking me down the stage toward my new pack.
