Dog Bite

The whole place smelled terrible. So many shifters, wild animals and humans filled the building. Loud voices could be heard laughing and talking. People were passing by, examining the product that was out for the day, while others just enjoyed the darker atmosphere. It was disgusting, these were Alix's people and yet she was on the receiving line of it all. Her wrists were bound above her head, giving her chest a clear view in their bra. Her feet bound together at her ankles and chained so that she couldn't try and kick someone's face in.

Stung up in the middle of the underground building, Alix knew that she and her sister were the main attraction for the day. Females who could shift, who knew? Supposedly that's a hot want or something? Alix didn't really know, nor did she want to really know.

A small whimper escaped from her as a man reached out and ran his hand up her leg. Feeling her soft skin under his cool hand, his fingers going to a place she didn't want them. She had half the mind to snap his hand off with her fangs, but she had been drugged to be more docile. To take off the edge of her anxiety. As well as to allow for the possible buyers to examine her without being distracted by disrespect.

This was such a weird occurrence. A shifter looking at shifters, animals, and humans. Oh, how the table had changed. Derek's dark eyes looked around at everything with mild interest. He may be a dark man, running half of the city, but this. This was something that he himself hadn't dived into. At least, until today that is. He never had interest in buying his own kind, until he heard a little birdy talking about something he might want to look into. A female shifter.

Dark eyes shifted to the man next to him. His older brother had the same idea, so the duo, the Luciano brothers decided to make a little trip. To see the dark side of life that they hadn't conquered yet. "See anything of interest?" Derek asked Luke as they walked through the throng of people. Dark eyes looking to light blues as he waited for a reply from his brother. Then, something caught the slightly younger males attention. "Markov?" Derek murmured, frowning as he remembered the guy died a few weeks ago.

Glancing towards the older Luciano, Derek let his brother lead the way towards the scent that caught his attention. It was kinda hard to track the scent with all of these people inside and confined to such a small place, but they managed to find the source of the smell. "Well well, look at what we've got here. Looked like old Markov was keeping something from us." Derek mused as he looked at the two female shifters that were being kept in the middle of the whole market. The main display pieces.

Luke shoved his hands in his pockets as he looked around the place, scrunching his face up a bit in disgust. This really wasn’t his usual scene. He wasn’t one for coming to auctions to buy people for his personal property, but he heard from a good source that this would be where he could find himself a female shifter. Those were the rarest of their kind. To be able to mate with one would make him stronger, not only as an alpha but as a leader in the mafia. There would be no doubt that their children would carry the shifter gene, boys and girls alike. He needed that.

Luke raised a brow and turned his attention towards his brother, sighing heavily and shrugging a bit at his question. He hadn’t seen anything interesting at all. “Nope, not a thing,” he answered. Not that his brother seemed to care, since he was already walking off towards another direction talking nonsense about Markov.

He smelled it too though, the scent. Which didn’t make sense because Markov died weeks ago, there was no way he was here. Luke bit down on his bottom lip softly as he followed his brother, raising a brow and smirking when they finally got to the source of the smell. Which was hard, considering the place was full of disgusting smells.

“Look at these beauties,” Luke practically sang, stepping up to the girls. He grabbed the wrist if the man who was running his dirty hand all over the brown haired beauty. “Sorry, but please don’t touch what’s mine. You might lose some fingers, or worse, your hand. Don’t want that now, do we?” He told the man with a smirk, who was getting flustered. Clearly Luke hadn’t paid for the girl just yet, but there was no way he wasn’t going to get her either.

Opal tugged continuously at the binds around her wrists. She felt dirty and disgusting with all of her personal assets on full display. Well, sort of. She was covered in a lace bra and matching panties. But that was only so that the men circling her and her sister like vultures had something to leave to their imagination.

Opal looked over at her sister, growling deep when she noticed a man begin to feel her up. Opal was very protective of her sister, as well as her wolf. When Opal’s wolf saw the scene before her, she Was ready to kill. But unfortunately there was a spell on this binds to keep her wolf at bay so she didn’t shift, as well as they’d given both of them drugs to surpress it. If Opal could transform, all of these ass holes would be dead. Completely ripped to shreds. Although she’s thought about leaving maybe one or two alive to tell the tale.

Looking up, Opal furrowed her brow as some man walked up to her and started talking nonsense about her father. Who, of which, she didn’t even want to think about. It was his fault they were in the situation they were in the first place.

Opal grunted and practically yanked at her binds, not behaving at all like her sister. But Alix was the more calm and collected if the two in this sort of situation, where as Opal just wanted to rip everyone to shreds and run away as far as possible.

The sound of Alix's heart rang loudly in her ears as she felt her pulse pick up. She wanted to go home, to hide. She hated this, she really really hated this. It has got to be one of the most embarrassing things ever. To be touched by strangers, to be looked at and talked about like she was nothing but a thing to buy. Like she had no mind of her own. It was horrible.

Bright green eyes shifted upwards slightly as she felt the man's hand finally leave her. Her gaze shifting toward the blue-eyed males as he spoke. Alix did her best to bare her teeth at the male for calling her his, but she couldn't really muster the action for more than a few moments. They had given her a larger dose for some reason, making her feel like it was a hassle to do even the smallest of actions.

"Ah, you interesting in buying this beauty?" A human worker asked as he noticed the blonde guy looking at Alix. "She's a beauty isn't she?" He looked up at Alix and started to talk about her like she was a car that was for sale. "She's a female shifter, a beautiful white wolf with a dusting of light brown. She's as pure as they come, no signs of a male touching her. She's also young, so she should be easy to mold." The guy went on and on, not knowing he was talking to a shifter or a mafia boss.

Amusement danced in Derek's eyes as he watched the dark haired girl in front of him. A small smirk appearing on his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest. His head tilting to the right ever so slightly. This one had some fight in her, and that amused Derek. He had imagined that all female shifters were docile because they were usually kept hidden, but this one was wild. He liked that, she was a true wolf it seemed.

"Well, aren't you protective." Derek mused as he reached out and ran a hand along her side. Feeling her soft skin under his hand and getting a sense of her own unique scent that seemed to catch his wolf's attention. "You got a name girl?" Derek asked as he tilted his head to the side as he looked at her. Examine each of her features. She was quite attractive, which was good.

Glancing towards the side, Derek motioned to another worker to come over. He wanted her. He didn't care how much this girl was going to cost him. She was going to come home with him. Rather he had to steal her or actually pay for her like a good customer. "How much?" He asked. His tone showing little interest as his eyes landed on the nice round mounds that she possessed. He could not wait to get his scent all over her. Plus, it was kinda nauseating to have that Markov's scent all over her.

Luke raised a brow and tilted his head as he watched the girl before him. She seemed heavily drugged and he wasn’t okay with that. He’d have to take her home and let her sleep it off so that he could see what her personality was really like. That excited him a bit. He couldn’t wait to play with her.

Luke blinked when some human came up to him, smirking and nodding at everything he was telling him. It wasn’t like he didn’t already know half of this. He for sure knew that she was definitely a beauty. “I have to agree, she’s definitely a looker. She’ll do nicely,” he said with a nod. “I’ll take her. Name your price,” he said as he motioned for a couple of his men who were standing off in the corner to come over.

Listening to the human name his price, Luke nodded and took two brief cases from his men. They held cash inside, since he really wasn’t going to pay with a check or a card. “Here you go,” he said as he handed the man the two brief cases, all of which made a smirk grow bigger than the size of Texas on his face. Luke was a little suspicious about it but he wasn’t going to cause a scene. He would pay any amount for this beauty.

“What’s your name, sweet heart?” Luke asked the girl as he walked up and untied her from the post she was on for display. He could feel every eye on him practically in the place, which made him uncomfortable. You never know who was going to try and strike, especially now that he had bought the girl.

Looking over to his brother, Luke tapped his shoulder and motioned to the girl he was staring at. “Do you plan on getting her, or do I have to? Clearly you’ve taken a liking to her, but if you don’t seize the opportunity than I will.”

Opal felt a small wave of calmness as the man touched her skin, which actually made her sick to her stomach at the realization. Maybe he was some sort of warlock or witch? She doubted it though, because she could smell his wolf, and that smell made her own wolf excited. Opal furrowed her brow and recoiled from his touch, growling at him and snarling. At this point she didn’t care who she left with, she just wanted out of these restraints and be able to sleep whatever drugs they had given her off.

When he asked for her name, Opal frowned and looked anywhere but at him. She didn’t really want to tell him her name, but it might be better than anything he might decide to call her instead. “Opal,” she murmured hoarsely. “Opalescent.” She cleared her throat and tugged at the bindings again, getting restless. She already had deep wounds around her wrist which would probably need some sort of attention later.

“This one? Yeah, she’s a feisty one. Sexy, but feisty. She’s had a fair amount of offers so far, but none of them want to deal with the possibility of needing to tame her. She’s just as pure as her sister over there though, no sign of a male’s touch or of being marked by any sort of supernatural being. She’s the same price of her sister though at one million,” the human spoke as he tried to sell her off.

Opal’s eyes widened as she coughed a bit, looking over at her sister then back at the man. Who would have that much money to throw away on a person? When the other male that bought her sister chimed in saying he’d buy her too, she was dumb founded. She hoped these two were friends at least so that she can see her sister.

Through half-lidded eyes, Alix looked back and forth between the worker and the shifter in front of her. She couldn't fully catch what was going on because of the drug affecting her ability to process things. Plus, the shifting of her gaze was giving her a headache and caused her to want to just close her eyes and take a nap. To get away from this place, to pretend that she was anywhere but here.

Her wolf stirred a little as the shifter approached and caused Alix to open her eyes halfway. She looked up at the blonde and gulped. Her mouth was parched. "Alix." She said quietly as she tried to shy away from him a little. Her wolf seemed interested in this man, but, Alix was still a little warry. This has got to be one of the only times that the two had different opinions on things.

Blinking in confusion, Alix glanced up as he began to undo the ropes on her hands. She briefly wondered what he was doing, then glanced ahead and noticed the human with the suitcases. She must have zoned out it seemed. An as soon as she was free, Alix couldn't help but fall to her knees. Her legs exhausted from standing in one spot for so long. A small whimper escaping her next as she moved to gently rub her wrists.

To be honest, Derek wasn't really listening to the human at all. He was to busy looking at the female shifter that was strung up like some kind of prize at a carnival. She was a beauty, and he was quite glad that he was able to get his hands on her before some other shifter got whiff of her or the humans got some idea to use her to produce money bags for them. The sick fucks.

"Opal," Derek repeated the girl's name. Smirking a little bit as it seemed to roll nicely off of his tongue. It's sound nicely as he gave her commands to follow. "The name suits you, Opalescent." He murmured and then cast a small glance towards his brother. A small snort escaping from Derek as he shook his head. "Finders keepers," Derek replied, a small smirk playing along with his lips as he motioned for his own men to bring his money over for the worker.

Then, walking over to the girl, Opal, Derek reached up and untied her wrists. A small growl escaping him as he got a better look at her wrists. "Damn pigs." He murmured as he moved to easily pick Opal up in his arms, cradling her barely clad body against his strong muscular chest "Let's get out of here." He murmured, casting a small glance towards his brother before he started to walk out to the car. He's had enough of the envious looks they were getting when they bought the girls.
