Chapter 1 Bloody Birthday Party

• Prologue
• "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on display is our cheapest auction item, with a starting price of 50 gold coins."
• A black cloth lifted, and a huge rusty iron cage was revealed. I was kneeling on all fours inside the cage, with a heavy chain tied around my neck.
• The blinding spotlight converged on me, and my tears spilled out of my eyes uncontrollably.
• Countless werewolves wearing clown masks sat in the circular stands, pointing at me, the cheapest auction item.
• "Give me a discount. 40 gold coins! Look at her huge belly. She's pregnant. Non-virgins aren't worth much!"
• "But she's pretty," the host with a fake smile grabbed my hair and yanked it back, forcing me to raise my head and show my face to everyone, "Look at her beautiful face. If she were a virgin, her starting bid would surely be more than 10,000 gold coins."
• "Minimum 50 gold coins, no bargaining. I guarantee it's a good deal. She is expected to give birth in half a month. If she has a baby girl, then you will have two sex slaves in the future. If she has a baby boy, then you will get an additional male servant. Buy one get one free. You've made a fortune!"
• "55 gold coins! I want her!"
• "I'll give you 60 gold coins!"
• I bit my trembling lips tightly. I couldn't believe that I, Elizabeth, the most cherished daughter of Blue moon pack's Alpha, would be reduced to being auctioned off as the lowest-priced sex slave in such a shoddy and dirty underground trading market.
• Suddenly, countless gold coins fell from above interrupting the bidding. An uncountable rain of gold coins drove everyone crazy.
• "Gold coins! Gold coins! Pick them up!"
• "Don't grab it from me!"
• As everyone fought to pick up the money, I saw 9 handsome men dropped from the sky, accompanied by 9 majestic, grim voices.
• "10 million gold coins, we want to buy her!"
• "And, the lives of all of you!"
• "We will not spare any of you! You all die!"
• "Brandon, Austin, Caleb, Isidore..." I murmured the names of each of them, my mates, my baby's fathers. Tears fell from my eyes.
• A sharp pain came from my belly. Damn! My water broke! I'm going into labor early!
• I collapsed to the floor in pain, spasming, rolling, and hissing. Am I going to die?
• I saw my 9 mates running towards me, but my consciousness drifted further and further away.
• Their running figures wavered before my eyes like the shadows of the trees swaying outside the window.
• I can't help but think back to that afternoon 10 years ago when I was napping in my room with my face to the window. The dappled, tiny dots of light danced across my eyelids. All the tragedies hadn't happened then. And I hadn't fallen from heaven to hell...
• If I could, I'd rather never have met my 9 mates in return for not experiencing those heartbreaking pasts...
• ****Ten years ago****
• **Elizabeth's POV**

• "BANG!"
• The door was kicked open from the outside. A rogue with a scar on his face barged into my room with a knife.
• The knife was red, and blood continued to drip from the tip.
• "Who are you? GET OUT!"I screamed and curled up my body.
• "Oh, there is a sleeping beauty in here."The rogue surveyed me with an evil gaze, from hair to toe.
• "Get the hell out of my room!"
• My father was the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, and I was his only and most beloved daughter.
• Today was my birthday.
• My father said he sent birthday invitations to the Alpha family of the Black River Pack. There will be a very large number of werewolves at the birthday party tonight. It is going to be the biggest and most exciting party of the year.
• And I, would be the rightful star of the birthday party. I would put on the most gorgeous new dress and accept the blessings and elaborate gifts offered by all.
• With the anticipation of my birthday party, I lay down on my bed in the pack house to sleep in the afternoon. I was lost in a beautiful dream, which was related to my birthday party that was going to be held tonight.
• I was so happy that I felt like I was living in heaven, but a few seconds ago, an intruding rogue broke it all.
• I woke up from a beautiful dream, and from then on, my life became a nightmare that I could never wake up from.
• If hell exists, then I lived in it every day after that horrible day.
• The evil rogue kept approaching me with a knife.
• Feeling horrified and disgusted, I could not help but hide inside the bed, yelling, "Lily! Lily! Help me!"
• Lily was my maid and a female warrior. My father had arranged for Lily to take care of me, more primarily to protect me.
• "Lily, where is she?"The rogue looked around the room and said with a big smile, "Are you looking for her? Is she Lily?"
• He lifted his left hand, and Lily's severed head was being held in his hand.
• "Here you are. Your Lily,"The rogue smiled viciously and threw Lily's head onto the bed.
• Throwing it in front of me.
• "Ahhhhhhhhhhh ----"I screamed frantically. Lily's blood stained my pajamas.
• I was so scared that I pulled the covers over my cold body. Lily's head rolled off the bed like a ball, leaving a long trail of blood where it passed.
• "My little chick, you look scared. come on, let me comfort you."
• The rogue came toward me as he pulled down his pants.
• I was too young to know what his lecherous smile meant. I was simply afraid of him coming near me. I was afraid of the scars on his face, and I was afraid of the knife dripping blood from his hand.
• "Get away! You killed Lily! You are BAD! You are an asshat!"
• I cried, hitting him with a pillow, but that did not stop him from getting close to me.
• "My chick, don't piss me off if you don't want me to cut off your hands and feet."He threatened me with a low growl and lifted my covers.
• I screamed and ran off the bed, only to have him pull me back hard and throw me on the bed.
• I did not know what he was trying to do. He tore my pajamas into strips of cloth with force. He made me scared.
• "You are so damn cute, little chick. You are going to be a hottie someday. But I will not give you a chance to grow up."
• "I will kill you, after I have enjoyed you."The rogue laughed and pressed himself against me.
• Just then, I saw my mother rush in with a dagger in her hand.
• Her aim was to stab the rogue in the back.
• "Mom..."I subconsciously shouted out.
• I should not have made a sound, I should have stayed silent so the rogue would not notice my mom coming in.
• But I was so young, I did not know my call would kill my mom.
• As soon as the rogue heard my call, he immediately realized there was someone behind him. Without looking back, he grabbed the knife and stabbed it backhanded.
• I saw the knife pierce my mom's chest with my own eyes.
• "Mom ------"I let out a harsh cry.
• Blood spurted out of my mom's chest and landed on my face and in my mouth. This was the first time I tasted blood. It was salty. Saltier than tears.
• Mom clung to the rogue from behind as she fell, "Elizabeth, run! Run!"
• "Drop dead!"The rogue drew his knife and stabbed my mother hard in the abdomen again.
• Despite this, Mom held on to the rogue's arm and did not let go at all.
• "Mom-----"I could not control the tears that came out of my eyes. I wanted to help her, but mom stopped me.
• "My daughter, run! You have to live. Must live."
• "Do as you are told, my good girl. Run! Run!"
• I jumped out of bed and ran to the door at my mother's urging. I did not dare to leave. I knew that once I left my mom would surely be killed by that rogue.
• I might lose her forever!
• "Go to hell! Bitch! You think you can stop me by doing that? I will kill you first, then your daughter!"The rogue flipped my mom to the ground with force and slapped her across the face.
• He tried to turn around and chase me, but my mom suddenly held his leg and would not let him go.
• I saw my mom covered in blood. In my memory, my mom, as the noble Luna of Blue Moon Pack, always wore white and clean dresses, beautiful as a goddess.
• However, at this moment, she was covered with blood and mud. Because of me, she became so wretched.
• She looked at me with eyes full of tears and grief and urged me loudly in a hoarse voice.
• "Run! Run for help!"
