Sold Into The Lycan Brothers Arms

The slap came in the blink of an eye. It was hard and painful, snapping my head sideways. I got dizzy for a moment then swallowed the sting, determined not to let the tears fall. I couldn't ginve them the satisfaction of seeing me break.

"Stupid girl." my mother hissed for the umpteenth time. "You're a curse on this family."

Her brown eyes that so much looked like mine, was filled with nothing but hatred. She always looked at me this way, as if I was a mistake she wished she could erase.

I bent my head trying to apologize. "I'm sorry, Mother."

"Sorry won't change what you are." she spat. "An omega. You're weak and useless. How can you be all the bad things at once?"

All the bad things. Her words were not new to me. I hear them everytime but today, they cut deeper.

Ever since I was young, I've always knew I was different. Omegas were rare in our pack and we were seen as burdens or curse rather than blessings. Though some have big body size and sometimes try to stand tall, I was like the few others. Little, petite and this made me easier to control.

"Mother, please." I tried begging. "I'll do better…."

"You won't." a voice sounded from behind me.

Zara.

I turned, my stomach twisting as I saw my older sister leaning against the door with her arms folded over her chest. Zara is my parent's first child. The pride of the family and unlike me, Zara is strong. She's a beta, favored by our parents. She was everything I wasn't.

She smirked. "You should stop begging at this point, Elara. It's pathetic."

"Enough, Zara." Mother said, but there was satisfaction in her eyes almost like she was happy about what Zara said to me.

Zara walked closer, her eyes full of hatred. "Should I just tell her, Mother?

I held my breath. The look on her face told me she was up to no good. "Tell me what?"

Mother sighed as if she was fed up with me. "We've finally found a place for you."

I felt a chill ran down my spine. A place for me. This doesn't sound good.

"What do you mean?"

She smiled then held my hands. "You're leaving tomorrow."

I furrowed my brows in confusion. I still don't get it. I can only hope wherever I'm leaving to is better than this hell I'm in currently.

Zara laughed. "She doesn't get it yet. Let me break it down for you. You're moving to the Lycan's palace."

The lump in my throat grew into something worse.

"You're selling me?" My voice came out thin and shaky. I couldn't believe my own ears. I had to pinch myself to make sure I'm not having a bad dream but my mother's next words confirmed my fears.

Mother leaned her head towards me. "Selling is such a big word, Elara. Think of it as an exchange."
