Destined To The Werewolf King, chapter one

Victoria POV “Victoria, wait up; stop running, or I will hit you when I catch you.”

“You can’t do anything, sister… I will tell Uncle and Aunty If you dare touch me.”

“Okay, you win; wait, but I need to Catch my breath.”

I slowed down and waited for her in the middle of the road. “Let’s go home. Alice, Aunty, will be waiting for us. It’s getting late.”

“I know, but we must wait a little for Mr. Standford. He promised to come on time today.”

“He’s not here yet, So let’s go.”

My mind was restless; I wanted to leave here soon. “Listen to me, Victoria. We can’t leave this place without delivering what we came for.”

“I know, but it’s getting dark, and you know it’s not safe; right now, please, let’s go home.”

“Okay, you win.”

We picked up the bags of carrots and were about to leave. Suddenly, a carriage stopped in front of us. A man in his last fifties stepped out of the carriage.

Just then, Alice excused herself. Mr Standford walked up to me. “Good day, sir; I was asked to give you this carrot in exchange for money.”

“Sure, indeed, there are beautiful potatoes just as described.”

“Are you sure you have seen the potato, or should I open it for you to see them?”

“They wouldn’t need that, Miss; I have already seen the potatoes.”

“Okay, sir, can I have the money now?”

“Yes, sure, you have your money now, Damien; bring the money bag.”

“Yes, sir.”

A young man returned to the carriage with a small bag of money; he gave it to his master, and then Mr Stanford Gave the bag of money to me. “Count it to see if it’s complete.”

“No problems, sir. My aunty trusts you a lot, So you don’t have to worry; I will hand it over to her when we get home.”

At that point, I remembered I had come here with Alice, But I kept wondering where she was. She told me she would deliver a message, but it still needed to be found. “You said we”

“Yes, sir, I came here with my sister but haven’t seen her until now; I think I must get going.”

“Where do you think you are going to?”

“Home, sir. Our transaction has been completed.”

“You seem to forget something, miss; you are the goods I just brought.”

As much as this man in front of me behaved weirdly, I still didn’t understand what he meant by the goods he had just brought; I took a few steps backward, looking for the following available way to escape. “So, Miss Victoria, it’s time to go.”

“With all due respect, Sir Standford, I will pretend we never had a conversation. Have a nice day,”

I quickly turned to leave, But I felt a sharp pain in my head; I fell to the ground. My vision began to fade away. I could hear Sir Standford and Damien talking.

“I hope you don’t strike her because I don’t want any damage to my goods.”

“No, my lord, This will make her pass out until we reach the slave establishment.”

“Good .. Careful, pick her up and put her in the carriage.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

Finally, everything around became dark. When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a cage. My head hurt.

I tried to remember everything that had happened, but I couldn’t. Just then, I heard a voice. “Don’t overthink, my dear. You are in a slave establishment.”

“Wait ..what? You are joking, right.”

“Nope, I am not.”

I turned around to look at the skinny woman sitting beside me. “How did I get here?”

“I don’t know; let me guess, maybe you were sold by your relatives, or maybe your family sold you, ever way you are now in the slave establishment.”

“Oh.. No… I need to get out of here. Please help me. How am I supposed to leave you, please?”

“If I had known a way of escape, I wouldn’t have been here with you right now, and whatever thought you are having, you better erase it from your head because you can’t escape from here unless someone brings you.”

“Oh God, how did I get to this place?”

Suddenly, my mind flashed back to everything that had happened. ‘Mr. Stanford, He was the one who brought me here. That bastard, I swear I am going to kill him.”

I screamed at the top of my lungs, boiling in anger. Suddenly, the skinny lady spoke up again. “Save your breath and strength, for you will need it later.”

Just then, we heard a scream; I quickly rushed to sit beside the skinny woman. “What was the noise?”

“They brought in some new slaves, so they are giving them the slave mark.”

“Slave mark”

“She pulled down her dress and showed me her mark.”

“Oh my God, they will give me that too.”

“Yes, but I am still surprised you haven’t gotten us yet.”

We were still talking when a guard opened the door, pulled a little girl into the cage, and locked it. When. I saw the little child lying on the floor, almost lifeless; that was when I realized I was in a different world.
