"We did not agree to get two slaves," the second Urekai said.

"That is settled then," Lord Vladya continued as if the other never spoke.

Reaching into his robe, Lord Vladya pulled out another bag of coins, throwing both on the floor towards the king. "We will take both."

"Sold!" King Orestus banged his gavel again.

Chapter two

SOLD TO THE UREKAI

Aekeira cried for over an hour after they left the courtroom.

At first, she had been angry, shouting at Emeriel about his foolish decision. Then she broke down, crying as if her heart had been shattered. Now they were left alone in a tiny room of the carriage.

Emeriel remained quiet throughout his sister's breakdown, the weight of his decision finally sinking in.

By the Light-gods, he was now a slave. Lower than a lowborn. Lower than a carpet servant.

And not just any slave, but a Urekai slave. Or many Urekai, Emeriel had no idea yet.

He would serve those heartless, ruthless beings who despised humans.

“You're a pretty boy. You will not lack masters to service.”

A shiver coursed down Emeriel's spine. They were going to violate his body.

What he had always worried about would finally come true. Only now, it wouldn't be just one beast, it would be many. As many as his master wanted.

They would spread him apart, subjecting him to the dreadful act of sex.

Emeriel swallowed the bile rising in his throat. His breath seized as panic set in.

"Breathe, Em. Come on." Aekeira appeared by his side, rubbing his back. "In... and out... come on, Em."

Aekeira's voice was gentle and soothing, giving Emeriel no choice but to follow its sound.

Aekeira continued rubbing his back. "Good girl. That's my girl."

Two Urekai came in and forced them to take an unknown pill.

Surely they hadn't paid all that money just to kill them before they even became slaves, right? Emeriel thought as she swallowed it.

Minutes later, they both dropped unconscious on the floor.

Emeriel woke up to the bumpy ride of the carriage. His head felt woozy, and his senses were disoriented as he blinked several times to adjust his vision. Rising, he walked to the carriage’s wooden window and pushed it open. A gasp left him.

They are in Urekai land. Emeriel could see dozens of them.

But what had his jaw on the floor was the humans.

There were plenty in sight. Many females nearly match the number of males.

Everyone knew the Urekai had acquired and held numerous humans captive after the war, but the sheer number he could see surpassed his expectations.

And they were all slaves.

Some were working in the fields, their weary bodies bent under the weight of their labor. Some were hauling heavy loads,their muscles straining with each step, under the watchful eyes of Urekai.
