Chapter 3 Sold my womb not my soul

Selene moved back an inch. "isn't it obvious you are sick."

Tristan stood in front of her surprised, he was confuse and trying to make sense of what just took place.

He finally speaks. "Where do you stay? Who are your parents?" He asked her, his voice sounding curious.

Selene tried to move past him but he quickly stood between her and the entrance.

"Answer me," Tristan seethed, his words sounded harsh.

Landon who was with him all through was confused.

"Alpha Tristan," he called his eyes scanning the few passers by, that was watching them. He leaned closer and whispered "let her go, people are watching."

Tristan felt embarrassed and moved away for her to pass.

"That is very nice of you," Selene said and walked pass him.

Tristan stare at her until she disappeared from his view.

"The car is here," Landon said.

They both walked towards the car, Landon was about to enter but Tristan stopped him.

"Wait here and make sure you find out everything about that lady," he commanded him.

"Yes alpha Tristan."

The driver drove off.

Few minutes later...

Selene walked out.

She walked quickly down the lonely road with the sound of her worn out shoe hitting against the street pavement.

She quickly stopped.

She felt someone was behind her so she quickly turned around but saw no one.

Her footsteps hastened.

Back at home...

Selene came back home tired, she felt hungry but she did not bother going to the kitchen, because there was nothing in the house before she left.

"Did you get them," her father's voice came from behind.

"Yes Dad," she said and gave the medication to him.

He took it and a glass of water inside his room.

Selene collapses tirelessly on their old couch.

Her phone peeps.

She checked.

It was a message from the KindBody Fertility clinic.

It read: KindBody Fertility clinic we are sorry about the missed up date. You will be picked from your residential address today in the next 30 minutes, we start today, the driver contact information will be sent to you shortly.

She was stunned. She dashed into her bathroom and took a quick shower, she went straight to her closet and packed some clothes and whatever she could touch at that moment. she stuffed them into her worn out backpack.

Her phone peeped.

It was a message: I'm Leo from KindBody Fertility clinic I'm outside your gate.

She looked into the mirror in her tiny room, her eyes looked gentle for what she was about to do and it made her nervous.

"Oh my goodness I am feeling very worried," she whispered beneath her breath, she put on her hoodie and walked into the living room.

"Where are you going to," her father asked.

"It's today dad," she said her voice soft.

"After all my warning and pleading," he said amidst tears.

"I'm not doing this for my own selfishness dad. Mom needs this money and the time is now."

She stepped out of the house into the street, she saw an SUV packed two blocks away, she walked towards it.

"From the fertility clinic," the driver said.

She didn't speak as she entered.

She looked in the side mirror and saw another man in black suit at the back seat, she became scared her heart pounding very fast.

Her phone buzzed.

A text from her mom. "Don't go Selene you still don't know who you truly are."

Her eyes flickered. "What?" She muttered.

She opened her mouth to talk to the driver but a sharp sting hit her neck.

Everything spun, she collapsed into the seat, her vision faded fast.

Few moments later...

Selene woke up.

Her eyes scanned through the room, binding light, a white ceiling, cold room.

She tried to move but she couldn't because she was strapped, her heart pounded. She was feeling thirsty and her body seemed pretty weak.

"Stay calm," a female voice said "You are safe sweetheart, at least for now."

"Where am I!" Selene gasped.

"Oh don't worry about that."

"What?" Selene whispered.

"You applied to the KindBody Fertility clinic?"

Selene turned her head towards her. "Well this doesn't look like their facility, so where am I?"

The woman smirks icily. ''You have been selected," the woman tapped a tablet "your vitals are good, strong body, fertile and ... " her eyes switch to Selene's shoulder "That... mark?"

Selene grinned. "What mark?"

"pretentious human, I definitely know who you are." She seethed.

The woman turned and left, the door shut quietly behind her.

Selene lay still staring at the ceiling, her heart pounded fast. What the hell does she mean by her mark?.

Somewhere upstairs...

Alpha Tristan stood in front of a wide glass, he curiously watched his next set of candidates file.

They were all lined up like his property, being labeled by number and alphabet.

He wasn't interested.

Landon pointed out. "That one just arrived today 12.C."

The screen showed a lady tied to a hospital bed, her hoodies have been removed. The camera caught the moon shaped mark on her shoulder.

"Zoom in more," Tristan said voice low.

The image on her shoulder became vivid.

His heart thundered heavily. It was her, the blurry girl from his dream, she is real and alive and she is within his reach now.

"The mark," he muttered "is it real or it was tattooed."

"There is only one way to find out," Landon said.

"Bring her to me now," Tristan ordered.

Selene was untied. The guards grabbed both of her arms, they dragged her down the hospital hall.

"Who are you?" She snapped "Where are you taking me?" She asked, her voice barely steady.

She struggled but she was no match for them.

They stopped in front of a red steel door, one of the guards raised up a card to the door scanner and the door opened with a loud click.

Inside was dim and cold but everything looked rich and expensive. At the middle of it stood a man.

Black suit, fine jaw, eyes like molten gold. He stayed quiet, not saying a word but his presence filled the room

Selene was baffled seeing him here.

They both looked surprised. "You?" They spoke at the same time both voices overlapping.
