Chapter 3 I Am With You Now

• The black car parked in front of the house and Danika alighted from the back seat along with the woman who had bought her from the auction house.
• "Come with me Danika" The chubby woman called out and Danika quickly followed behind her, the house was a small villa but the compound was very vast.
• The air around the place was filled with flowers and Danika wondered if her life was going to be any rosy as the roses she could spot from afar.
• Danika entered the study room with the woman.
• "Stand there" the woman ordered and Danika stood still in front of the table while the woman walked over to the table and dropped her bag on the desk before bringing out a file from her bag.
• "Your name is Danika Lane from Woodshed pack, daughter of Late Alpha Morris Lane??" She inquired and Danika remained silent for a brief moment before nodding her head.
• "Yes ma'am" Her hoarse voice confirmed her words and the woman kept her poker face on as she flicked through the files before nonchalantly saying;
• "This is your first day at my house, you'll have to join the others for training before you will be handed over to your new master" The chubby woman who had come to buy her earlier commented and Danika furrowed her brows.
• "A new master??" Just as the words fell, a stick landed on her head as the woman glared at her.
• "You are not allowed to question me, all you have to do is shut up and look with your ears and listen with your eyes"
• Danika grasped the meaning behind those words that seemed so misplaced and she shut her tooth.
• "Your new master will come to claim you by tomorrow but before then, we have to check how mentally and physically strong you are but it seems you do not have a wolf" Her despicable words rubbed salt in her wounds and Danika nodded.
• Danika was standing in front of the study while the chubby woman was seated on the chair behind the huge and wide table, she was reading Danika's files.
• Just then, a woman came in and without looking at her, the chubby women said "Sofia, take our new intake to the field so she can boost her stamina"
• Danika inclined her head and saw the woman who had a cold expression on her face, Sofia ordered "Come with me"
• Danika followed behind Sofia who led her out of the office and they passed through various corners soon, they were outside the house and Danika spotted a few werewolves who were training in the Field.
• Danika felt fear grip her, this was not ordinary training, they were all in a fierce battle with each other.
• "You are to join them in the field while we watch your progress or rather...how you'll be battered to death" Sofia suddenly commented and that made Danika's eyes shriek back as she turned to face Sofia and made to tell her she doesn't have a wolf but Sofia only glared hard at her.
• "Go on in" she snapped and Danika clenched her teeth and her legs carried her out of the house as she headed towards the field.
• A few Minutes Later...
• "Weakling, get your ass here" A mocking laugh erupted and Danika bit her lower lip as she tried to get off the floor on her own.
• She was made to train with others and she ends up getting bartered and her heart drumming in her rib cage.
• She spat out blood before wiping her mouth, cleaning off the remnant of blood on her lip.
• She staggered as she couldn't stand still nor position herself well enough.
• Her body was covered in dust and her eyes were sloppy as she saw stars and just before she could gain her wits, she was sent flying.
• She found herself in the air and she almost cried out in panic but then, she only coughed out a large mouthful of blood when her back hit the hard ground.
• She winced as her face showed how miserable she was, she scratched her arm on the floor and blood began to flow out, her body was sore.
• "How can you be so weak?? you should rise and be strong to survive this cruel world!!" The wolf jerked her shirt up, uprooting her from the ground, Danika struggled to push her off her but she was too fragile to remove her grip.
• "How pitiful" She scoffed at Danika and Danika kept breathing hard, her blood rolling from her forehead to her cheek.
• There she spotted her buyer who was looking back at her indifferently, she so wanted to beg for her life.
• The chubby woman had an indifferent face as she watched Danika being beaten by the other ladies she bought, the other wolves were laughing as if they were watching a show.
• Danika felt the blood roll to her eyes and that was where she begged but it only came out as a whisper "Please"
• But that waited punch landed on her jaw and she found herself landing on the ground again.
• Her face was barely recognizable as her head hit the hard floor, her eyes carried pain, anxiety, hatred, fear, and despair.
• "That's enough!"
• After a while did her buyer give command for her to be spared and the wolves snorted before leaving her behind.
• Danika couldn't hear what they were saying as she watched them walk away, leaving her behind as if she were trash that was meant to remain lying on the floor.
• Averting her gaze, Danika felt her body tearing apart, she sniffed in her snot, her heart racing as they ached in pain.
• She gazed at the heavens, her voice creaked and hoarse as she prayed "If this is how my life will turn out, please take me, oh Goddess"
• Shutting her eyes as the tears poured out, feeling shattered.
• Amid her grief, a voice came from her head "Don't say that, I'm with you now"
• Danika snapped her eyes open, thinking she was probably hallucinating but then a chuckle came as the voice rang again.
• "You aren't hallucinating Danika, I am with you, I am your wolf, Zetia"
• ☆☆☆☆☆☆
• The day rolled by quickly and Danika managed to recover from her aches and injuries, the very next morning, she was transported to a different location.
• Standing in the wide living room, The chubby woman turned to look at Danika with stern eyes, Danika turned her lips into thin lines as she stared at her.
• The chubby woman dimmed her eyes when she saw how Danika stared at her right in the eyes and that earned Danika a whipped on the back.
• Danika hissed in pain as the cane landed on her back, the words that followed were.
• "You can't look at your new master in the eyes like this..."
• The chubby woman eyed her and she lowered her gaze, staring at her shoes instead and the woman continued.
• "Your only words should be 'Yes' and only 'Yes' " The woman continued as she walked to Danika's side and stood there.
• "Like I had told you before, when he tells you to spread your legs, you should hang them apart" The lady's cane hit the ground as she walked to Danika's back and the cane soon landed on her head.
• Danika shut her eyes to bear the pain, she couldn't refute nor fight for her life anymore, she had been sold and this marked the end of her.
• From being claimed by that ruthless alpha to being sold to another Master who wants her as a breeder.
• Her body wasn't hers anymore and she was expected to do the bidding of this new mysterious master.
• "You will not speak unless when you're asked to"
• The tapping of the cane resounded in the empty living room with just the two of them.
• Coming face to face with Danika whose eyes remained on the floor, She said:
• "Your body now belongs to the Alpha"
• Just in that moment, footsteps resounded from above but Danika couldn't raise her head to look who it was in fear of being caned with that stick in the lady's hand.
• She took a step back as the woman walked towards the person who came down to meet them.
• "Alpha Dain..." the woman's tone was filled with praise as she acknowledged the man.
• Her voice was different from the stern one of a few seconds ago.
• Danika swallowed hard, seems that was her new owner, her rebellious side pricked her and she couldn't help but raise her gaze and she was met with the cold eyes of the man who was tall with dark eyes.
• His temperament was chilling and Danika didn't waste time to lower her gaze again.
• "Is this the lady??" He asked as his eyes looked at Danika up and down while she swallowed hard in nervousness.
• "Yes sir, this is the lady, she has been trained and taught about what to be done as your breeder"
• "Hmm" he hummed before he slowly walked towards her, every step he took closer to her, Danika could feel the shadow looming over her and she couldn't help herself but raise her head again.
• Just as her eyes locked in his, that sweet fragrance swept into her nose and she stood rooted to the ground, her eyes locked in his, the bond knotting in her chest, her face covered in bewilderment.
• The chubby woman made to come whip Danika for looking at Alpha Dain in the eyes but Dain quickly swept her a cold gaze.
• "I'm sorry Alpha, she shouldn't be looking at you in that manner" She tried to appeal on Danika's behalf but Dain shut her off as he dismissed her.
• "Your service is no longer needed, you can leave now" After he said that, Dain turned to look at his breeder that was bought by his subordinate.
• The chubby woman bowed before she left, an eerie silence enveloped the living room.
• Dain's eyes took in the fragile lady's figure before him, he couldn't believe that the woman who was bought by him was his mate.
• What an Irony...
• Danika's gaze wandered off, looking everywhere except for him, it turned out that her buyer was her mate.
• Was this a good thing or not??
• She mused as she pouted her lips.
• Dain walked towards the counter adjacent to the living room, he left her there before coming back with a glass of wine in his hand.
• "I heard your name is Danika Lane from Woodshed, huh??" Dain asked as he sipped from his wine.
• Danika nodded, Dain smiled before he gestured for her to take a seat in one of the sofas and she complied without questioning.
• Dain also sat on one of the couches, pushing himself forward, he began to interview Danika "I am Alpha Dain Ivanov Of Blue Moon Pack, as you have already been pre-informed, you are to be my breeder..."
• Danika snapped her eyes towards him, why was he not talking about their bond as mates??
• As if he could read her thoughts, he placed the glass on the table and said to her "I never bargained for a mate Danika, don't get me wrong...." He said before wiping his lips with his tongue "Due to political reasons, I can't keep a mate Danika so I just want an heir from you"
• Not looking at her, knowing fully well that she must be hurt by his words, he slipped the file out of the table and handed it over to Danika.
• Danika bit her inner cheek to control her tears, she finally met her mate but he only wanted her to bear him a pup to be his heir.
• She took the files from him, her eyes were clouded in tears but Dain continued instead.
• "That is a contract that will bond us together, you are to give birth to my heir and I'll pay you off after delivery, the good thing is you'll have your life back after the birth, you can walk away"
• Danika brought her eyes to him "Walk away??"
• Dain nodded with a blank face, he had longed for his mate too but now wasn't the right time to keep her else she might be hurt because of his selfishness, he couldn't afford for Someone's life to be put into the line because of his greed.
• "Yes, so today marks the beginning of your job as my Breeder and not my mate."
